"Du Zhong? The same name as the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley?"

Sure enough, someone quickly recognized the name.

Du Zhong looked in the direction of the voice and replied with a smile, "It's not the same name, it's the same person. My Medicine King Valley has now joined the Tianyi Sect. If you need anything in the future, you can go to the Tianyi Sect."

"What?"

This is undoubtedly explosive news.

One sect quietly joined another.

How is that possible!

Some declining sects, even with only a handful of members, struggle to survive, let alone a sect as large as Medicine King Valley.

With tens of thousands of disciples, how could they possibly join another sect?

"Tianyi Sect, Tianyi Sect, I've heard of this sect. Some time ago, the remnants of Tiangang Sect were also merged into this sect. Not only that, I heard that Wanjian Pavilion was also swallowed up."

"My goodness! What kind of background does this Tianyi Sect have, and why are they acting so aggressively?"

Some people were hearing about it for the first time and were extremely curious.

Chaos erupted immediately, and even Su Qingluo in the VIP room couldn't help but lose her temper.

"Damn it! Where did this Tianyi Sect come from? How dare they ruin my plans and make me spend an extra 20,000 taels of high-grade spirit stones for no reason! Su Xi, go and investigate immediately. If you find out, I'll make them pay!"

"Young lady, don't be impulsive!" An old man frowned slightly as he advised.

"Don't be impulsive. They've already attacked me head-on. You're telling me not to be impulsive? I've already made my stance clear. They still dare to maliciously inflate prices with me. They don't respect me, Su Qingluo. They dare to offend my people, Su Qingluo! Hmph!"

The old man was an elder of the Su family. Seeing the new generation's lack of magnanimity, his brows furrowed even deeper. Although Su Qingluo's personality was not good, her talent for cultivation was excellent.

"I'll send someone to negotiate with them first. Please be patient, Miss."

Su Qingluo glared at the elder with dissatisfaction, but she knew that the elder was not someone she could vent her anger on, so she answered reluctantly.

"Okay, I'll give you that face."

The elder's expression changed several times before he got up and went out.

When he arrived in front of Fang Ruotang and her group, Fang Ruotang was asking Xiao Jingzi about something and learned that the owner behind this auction house was the Su family.

No wonder it was so noisy offstage, but there was no sound onstage.

He looked completely being led by the nose, but now it seems he's clearly waiting for his master to give the final order!

[What's with this furnace? Didn't they know this place belongs to the Su family? Why did they choose this one for the auction? Are they afraid the Su family can't control it?]

The little mirror flipped through the retrospective mirror and exclaimed in surprise.

"My lord, this furnace is after you. It knows you're looking for the Dust Flower, so it deliberately spread this rumor to lure you here."

【Huh?】 Fang Ruotang was stunned.

[Me? Dust Flower? Yes, the sect did issue such a mission; it's no secret. But why did he lure me here?]

【What do you think? He's bound to the Dust Flower; buying the Dust Flower means you have to take him in. He thinks you're a womanizer.】

Fang Ruotang: ...

Don't tell me my reputation in the Cloud Recesses is like this?

That's about right!

After all, she was always accompanied by six handsome men, and gossip is human nature. No matter who brought up those scandalous stories, even passing dogs would stop to listen.

【No way, is he crazy?! What kind of person does he think he can just take me because I'm not picky and he offers himself to me?】

Fang Ruotang was fuming. Anyone would feel uncomfortable if they were suspected of being a pervert. She was neither vulgar nor promiscuous.

But when she turned around and saw the six handsome men with different styles standing behind her, she felt that her words were a bit untenable, which made her even angrier.

Once she gets angry, Ye Wuxia and the other six will have a hard time.

Fang Ruotang told them about her plan for the furnace through the small mirror.

Sure enough, the six men's faces darkened instantly.

The anger that Fang Ruotang had been holding in was relieved at this moment.

That's right! When you're unhappy, you can vent your anger on your man, and your temper will quickly dissipate.

Besides, she wasn't good at this kind of thing, but her men were! As far as she knew, all six men had extensive combat experience.

In the past, it was not uncommon for sisters to marry into the same household at the same time, with the younger sister helping the older sister. The same thing happened with Fang Ruotang.

Of the six of them, except for Gu Yanjin, the others had all received hints in this regard to varying degrees, either from relatives or cronies.

The gist of it is that you can't handle all five of them by yourself, but I can help you, and I'll definitely be your most loyal helper, etc.

Unfortunately, all six men were fiercely protective of their food, and with so many men and so little food, how could they possibly believe such foolish words? Anyone who dared to say such things to them would never have a good ending.

"He's dreaming!" Huo Zhige said with a fierce expression.

If Fang Ruotang hadn't been holding him back, he would have rushed up and started hitting people.

"Anyway, that's the situation. I don't want to take him in! You guys decide what to do. I just want the Micro Dust Flower." Fang Ruotang spread her hands, completely unconcerned.

She doesn't care about the process; she only cares about the result.

After saying that, Fang Ruotang looked at Gu Yanjin. Gu Yanjin understood her gaze strangely, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He said softly, "I take back what I said. I was wrong. I didn't expect him to be so ambitious."

"Hmm!" Fang Ruotang was pleased.

She felt a sense of pride, as if she were smarter than Gu Yanjin.

Just then, the elder of the Su family arrived.

"Valley Master Du, may I have a word with you in private?"

Elder Su currently lacks sufficient information and has no idea how Medicine King Valley was incorporated into Tianyi Sect, so he cannot change the name for fear of violating a taboo.

"Just call me Elder Du. I am now an elder of the Tianyi Sect. This is Fang Ruotang, the sect leader of the Tianyi Sect. Our purpose in coming here is only for the Micro Dust Flower. Everything else... is fine."

Du Zhong got straight to the point and gave the answer.

Elder Su's eyes lit up, and he said, "In that case, we can cooperate."

"I'm afraid not! Didn't he say that if you want to spend money, you have to accept him as a person?" Fang Ruotang pointed to the people in the stands.

The man's lazy expression had vanished, and he looked at them with a calm gaze.

Fang Ruotang met his gaze, and the man immediately smiled, clearly trying to seduce her. Fang Ruotang could tell, so she turned her head away immediately.

He imagined her as a lecherous monster and wanted to seduce her.

She fell for it, which only cemented her bad reputation.

Don't even think about it!

Fang Ruotang thought angrily as she listened to Elder Fang say, "His idea... is not worth mentioning."

"Is this possible?" Fang Ruotang was a little surprised. Was there really no need for even this much sense of contractual obligation?

"Why not? Sect Leader Fang, why don't you come upstairs and we can discuss this in detail?"

"Alright!"

Fang Ruotang glanced around and, seeing that no one had any objections, agreed as well.

Upon entering the private room, Su Qingluo sized Fang Ruotang up and down, then asked disdainfully, "You're the one who was just trying to negotiate with me. You've got some nerve, haven't you? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Before Fang Ruotang could even stand still, hostility came rushing towards her.
