Lin Mu was unaware of the conversation that had happened between the silent Elder Ho and the Maid Min Ju. Instead, he was wondering just what it was that Lady Kang wanted to talk to him in private about.

As soon as he entered the room, he felt the isolation array activate and secure the room. No sound from the room would go out and vice versa. Similarly, one could not sense what was happening inside with their Immortal sense either.

'They changed the room?' Looking inside, Lin Mu found the room to be different than the ones he had seen before.

All the rooms on the floor had the same design and the same set of furniture. But this room seemed to have been entirely changed. There were tassel curtains hanging in the room, with a large cultivation bed in the middle. The bed was crucial and had hundreds of runes carved on it, which were meant to enhance the cultivation experience. The smaller desk in the room had been replaced by a large study desk which had writing instruments like a set of brushes, an inkstone and several ink sticks present on it.

A stack of parchment papers could be seen on the side, along with a small shelf full of scrolls. Lin Mu noticed the faint scent of ink coming from the scrolls on the shelf, showing that they had been freshly written.

'Was she working?' Lin Mu thought upon seeing a half written scroll on the table.

"My work rarely stops." Lady Kang interrupted him, upon seeing his gaze.

"Ah, I guess you have a lot of work." Lin Mu replied. "You've barely been here fifteen minutes." He said, recalling how long it had taken him to get here.

"I do yes… Running a business on the scale of the Great Kang Auction house comes with a heavy workload." Lady Kang replied before gesturing to him to sit. "Come, take a seat." "Sure," Lin Mu said, sitting at the table which had been changed to a large one.
