A Difficult Decision

"Why had the main pavilion come at a time like this?"

A trace of confusion crossed Yu Linglong's face. The main branch of Town World Pavilion was far away, in the True Ancestor Realm!

After a moment's thought, she said,

"Please, come in."

As soon as the words left her mouth, a voice came from outside:

"No need."

Everyone looked up. A middle-aged man was already striding toward them.

His aura was powerful, and a sinister look crossed his face.

"So it's Mr. Jin."

A trace of wariness flashed through Yu Linglong's heart, but she remained composed as she asked,

"What wind blew you here, Mr. Jin?"

--The middle-aged man was named Jin Chi Mountain.

He held a distinguished position in the main branch of Town World Pavilion. After all, he was a descendant of another branch of Town World Pavilion!

Jin Chi Mountain replied coldly,

"What wind? You have the nerve to ask?!"

Yu Linglong's heart sank. "Mr. Jin, have you come to put me on trial?"

Jin Chi Mountain's voice was icy. "Do you really think you're innocent?"

Yu Linglong asked, "What crime have I committed?"

Anger burned in Jin Chi Mountain's eyes as he said,

"You still want to deny it? We sent you to the branch pavilion in the Martial Wasteland Realm, and what did you do? You blew through a hundred billion in assets to buy some damn medicine!"

Yu Linglong furrowed her brow. How... had the Jin family learned about this?

Though her branch had fallen out of favor in Town World Pavilion, they still had some influence. When she notified the main branch, she had only informed their own people there.

"A mere hundred billion earth-grade origin stones. Do I need Mr. Jin to tell me how to spend them?"

She answered coldly.
