2056 A Solution To Obtain The Vault
Lin Mu was silent for a bit and didn't answer the woman right away, which made Lady Kang wonder what he was thinking about.
'Is he deciding what reward to pick?' She wondered, not knowing that Lin Mu's request was about to throw her off.
"How about the possession of an expert from the Immortal court?" Lin Mu questioned, making Lady Kang a bit confused.
"Possession of an expert? Do you mean to say…." She figured out that Lin Mu didn't mean an existing person.
"They are dead, yes." Lin Mu nodded. "Ah, that should be possible." Lady Kang replied, "Who is this expert though?" she asked.
"The Virtuous Calamity Daoist." Lin Mu answered.
Hearing that though, the expression of lady Kang became still. Then a frown appeared on her face and she took out a jade slip from her Spatial Storage too. She held it for a couple of seconds, before a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Why do you want the possession of a rebel?" Lady Kang asked, feeling some apprehension.

Lady Kang stared at him for about ten seconds before letting out a breath.
"I do not." Lady Kang replied. "I won't ask why you need the possessions from a person like that, as long as you can finish my commission." She knew it was best not to ask whatever reason that Lin Mu had.
'As long as he finds me the original clan seal, the rest does not matter.' Lady Kang said to herself.
"That's good." Lin Mu liked that she didn't pry further. "If you can find me those, I don't see why I can't do this job for you." He gave his response.
Hearing that, Lady Kang felt pleased as well. "Excellent." She said with a smile that was rather rare. If others were to see it, they would be mesmerized by it. Even for Lin Mu, it was pretty, but he didn't pay attention to it as much since he was more distracted by the solution that had just dropped in front of him.
'And here I was wondering how I would go about finding the ring… If Lady Kang can do this, it'll be easier and won't raise suspicion either.' Lin Mu thought that using an established power to obtain them would be a lot better.
"So what is it that you want as the reward?" Lady Kang questioned. "I know you want the possession of the Virtuous Calamity Daoist, but I still need to know more details." She added.
"Of course." Lin Mu knew his words were a bit vague earlier. "What I want is actually a Vault that the Virtuous Calamity Daoist kept." He said before taking out a jade slip too.
Lin Mu tapped on the jade slip, causing a Formation Screen to appear above it. ~shua~
The formation screen flickered and an image appeared on it.
"Huh, a top grade vault like this is certainly not easy to get." Lady Kang seemed to recognize it rather quickly. "It should also be blood bound, so others will not be able to open it. Are you sure you want this?" she asked after looking at the details.
Seeing that Lady Kang seemed to know a bit about the vault type, felt like a green flag to Lin Mu.
'If it is blood bound, then it's even better. A higher chance that its contents are intact and the ring should be too.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
"Yes, I want that vault." Lin Mu nodded. "I know what happened to the Virtuous Calamity Daoist and the aftermath of it." He added.
"Finding the vault's whereabouts will be difficult, but I should still be able to do it." Lady Kang replied. "Of course, it will take time. As I doubt many would be forthright with revealing its information. I'll have to utilize our connections and some information pavilions." She explained.
"That is fine." Lin Mu nodded. "Alright. Then as long as you give me your confirmation, and find me the original Kang Clan seal, I'll find the vault for you." Lady Kang stated.
"I agree." Lin Mu replied. "I'll help you find the original Kang clan seal." He assured.
"Then with my name as Kang Yu Ai, I'll find the vault as the payment." Lady Kang stated with confidence.
With the two coming to an agreement, the atmosphere in the room eased up while a connection was also made.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Can I know a few more details about the job though?" Lin Mu asked.
"Sure." Lady Kang nodded and spoke. Lin Mu continued to listen to hear and learned a lot more about the Kang Clan.
He learned that the branches of the Kang Clan all had different names while Lady Kang was of the Yu Branch of the Kang Clan. It was also the same branch that used to rule the Kang Clan in the past.
The Clan head that had lost the Clan seal was also from the Yu Branch and was the ancestor of Lady Kang.
But after that incident, the other branches did not trust in them and the Yu Branch lost power. It took them many years to gain power again, but the Kang Clan was no longer the same.
With the internal fracture, the Kang Clan was a clan just in name.
In reality, the branches were basically the same as different factions by now and were even spread across in different worlds.
But in the recent ten thousand years, the Yu branch has managed to rise again with talented people leading it. The best among them was none other than Lady Kang, who had become the youngest Branch Head.
Under her lead, she had brought the Great Kang Auction house to the top and let it be known across the Immortal worlds.
Hearing this though, a question appeared in Lin Mu's mind.
"How long have you been the Branch Head, Lady Kang?" Lin Mu questioned.
"About six thousand years." Lady Kang answered. "Why?"
