"..."
An Lingzhen hung up her communication with Ye Li, her heart full of doubts.
The general's ideas were always wild and unconstrained. This time, he had even bluntly said he wanted to "make our reputation a little worse," leaving her completely at a loss.
However, their long time together had taught her not to question him, but to do her utmost to carry out his orders.
She gathered her thoughts and walked toward the auction house's settlement counter.
The alluring female steward had long been waiting there, wearing a warm smile from the bottom of her heart.
An Lingzhen could not help feeling somewhat moved.
Ever since her sect had been destroyed, she had rarely received such courtesy from a power of this level.
"Miss An, the payment for the spiritual medicines you required has been deducted. This is the remaining balance. Please inspect it."
As she spoke, the female steward respectfully handed An Lingzhen a golden card containing the remaining Chaos Coins.
Then, she cautiously continued,
"If Mr. Ye is not busy at the moment, might Miss An rest here for a while?"
"I have already received word from the Alliance. Du Heng, the chief administrator overseeing this star region's Alliance branch, is personally making his way here. He hopes to have the honor of meeting Mr. Ye!"
An Alliance chief administrator?!
An Lingzhen's heart gave a violent jolt.
The Star Sea Merchant Alliance's influence stretched across the Chaos Star Sea. A "chief administrator" responsible for a branch in an entire star region was absolutely a mighty Dao Holder Realm expert!
Calling such a figure powerful enough to overturn heaven and earth would still be understating it.
And now, he was personally coming to meet the general?
Shocked though she was, An Lingzhen immediately recalled her current role.
