Evan Chu was led into an exquisitely decorated room. The attendant girl who brought him there was about to leave when Evan called out, "Miss, could you please bring over two jars of good wine and a few snacks? I want to have a drink with my big brother!"
Naturally, the girl didn’t dare refuse—after all, Rainbow Court Mistress Rainveil herself had ordered her to take extra good care of this young guest. She hurriedly replied, "Please wait just a moment, sir. I’ll go prepare everything right away."
After the girl left, Blue-Shade God-Venerable asked, "Little brother, didn’t you say you wanted to rest? Why are you calling for wine now—don’t tell me you’re just putting on an act?"
"Of course I’m putting on an act! Right now, my strength is pretty low, and I’d rather not get tangled up with the other major powers. If I can sit quietly here and share a drink with my big brother, isn’t that the happiest thing?" Evan Chu laughed.
"Little brother, your performance at the auction was honestly jaw-dropping. I’ve had this huge question in my heart for a while now, and I wonder if you can answer it for me. It might be a little awkward—if you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you," said Blue-Shade God-Venerable.
"Big brother, you want to ask how I ended up with so many Violet Cloud Crystals, right? Honestly, even if you didn’t ask, I was planning to tell you," Evan Chu chuckled.
"Exactly! I’m not the only one curious—plenty of others must be wondering too. Three hundred million Violet Cloud Crystals is a fortune even the Ten Great Powers might not be able to cough up all at once. So what’s the real story here?" Blue-Shade God-Venerable pressed.
"All those Violet Cloud Crystals came from the mines. I found a vein deep underground—packed with supreme-grade Violet Cloud Crystals. So I just collected them all. It’s really that simple," Evan Chu said calmly.
"Supreme Violet Cloud Crystals? Those only show up dozens of meters down in the mines, and the earth there is insanely tough—way harder than regular ground. How did you manage to get them? Don’t tell me you can dive that deep! If that’s true, it’s honestly mind-blowing," Blue-Shade God-Venerable exclaimed.
Just then, the door opened and the attendant girl returned, carrying a huge ceramic platter loaded with several exquisite dishes and two jars of wine. "Sir, here’s the wine you asked for. Please enjoy! Is there anything else you need? If not, I’ll take my leave," she said politely.
