Upon hearing Liu Yunqing's words, Venerable Xian'en understood that the other party already knew his purpose, so he stopped beating around the bush.

"This is not the place to talk. I wonder if young friend Zhenru has the time to visit the residence of Fanyin Temple for a chat?"

Liu Yunqing glanced at Wuchen, and seeing that the other party lowered his eyes slightly, he smiled and stood up, saying:

"Since Your Excellency has extended an invitation, then this junior will respectfully accept."

The three left the auction house and went straight to the residence of the Brahma Temple, leaving Liu Yunzhao, who had returned, empty-handed.

"Hey, hey, hey... Liu Yunzhao, what are you doing?"

"Even if you are a woman of destiny, you can't just barge into someone else's private room, can you?"

"Besides, we're not even on the same team. You're making it easy for my captain, Zhenru, to misunderstand!"

The auction continued, and the sound that Feng Piaopiao deliberately made drifted in the air above the auction hall, sounding particularly abrupt.

Liu Yunzhao's furrowed brows never relaxed.

Hearing Feng Piaopiao's deliberately amplified voice again, his anxiety almost overflowed, and he quickly gave a wink to his fellow disciple beside him.

Those nearby understood and immediately stepped in front of Liu Yunzhao, saying to Feng Piaopiao:

"We're here to find the rogue cultivator Zhenru. Tell her to come out!"

Feng Piaopiao still looked nonchalant, but his eyes had become sharp.

Coupled with the fatigue from several days of bidding and psychological warfare, his sharpness was tinged with impatience.

The words they uttered were utterly merciless.

"Rogue cultivator Zhenru? What's your cultivation level? What's hers? How dare you call her out?"

"If you have something to say, say it. If you don't, get lost. Stop barking all day long."

The disciple was humiliated by Feng Piaopiao's unusually cold face and words. He stammered for a long time, his face flushed and his eyes red with grievance. He could only look at Liu Yunzhao, hoping that she would stand up for him.

Liu Yunzhao hadn't expected Feng Piaopiao to be like this, but she clearly looked down on him. If she only needed something from him, she wouldn't bother with such a carefree playboy.

"The seeds I won at auction were switched by someone else. I want to discuss this with Fellow Daoist Zhenru, since there were only the two of us bidding at the time."

Feng Piaopiao finally understood.

These two men suspected Liu Yunqing of stealing the seeds and came to cause trouble.

Feng Piaopiao's expression darkened further, and she interrupted Liu Yunzhao directly:

"So the so-called privilege of the chosen one is that if you lose something and can't produce any evidence, you can just arbitrarily accuse someone of theft?"

"That's truly an eye-opener for me!"

Feng Piaopiao's voice didn't subside, and as soon as he said that, everyone perked up their ears.

What? Fairy Yunzhao's auction items were stolen?

Was the thief still that red-robed rogue cultivator?

"What thief? She has no proof that her things were stolen by that fairy in red."

"Besides, the item was stolen from her own VIP room. Suspecting a thief within the family is more plausible than groundlessly suspecting the Fairy in Red."

"Besides, how could she just say she lost it? We didn't even know."

Many people, recalling the auction, initially agreed with Liu Yunzhao's statement.

But upon hearing this, my mind instantly cleared.

Yes, the two VIP rooms are right across from each other. If the fairy in red wanted to steal something, she would have to walk halfway around the auction house. Wouldn't that be easy for anyone to see?

Moreover, whether the item was actually stolen or the thief was the fairy in red, there is no evidence whatsoever. Making baseless accusations against someone seems more like deliberately picking a fight.

Those with quick minds had already blurted out:

"Could it be that Fairy Yun Zhao was angry that Fairy in Red raised the price, and deliberately made things difficult for her afterwards?"

Thinking about it this way, everyone felt it made sense.

A different auctioneer had already taken over the auction stage.

She was unaware of what had happened in the previous days and could only ask the people at the auction to maintain order and try to draw everyone's attention back to the auction stage.

Finally, in order to prevent further disruption to the auction, Qingquan Pavilion sent Master Lin to the Shangqin VIP room to mediate.

Master Lin's method was very effective. He directly took out the photographic stone from the auction house and brought the staff who had been guarding the private rooms of Shangqing Sect and Wanmiao Sect at the time.

The photographic stone shows that Liu Yunqing never went to the Wanmiao Sect's VIP room, but instead went to the Fanyin Temple's VIP room, and then left the auction with the people from Fanyin Temple.

The staff in the VIP room of Shangqing Sect confirmed that they had seen the fairy in red enter the VIP room of Fanyin Temple.

The staff outside the VIP room of Wanmiao Sect also confirmed that the fairy in red had never been to the VIP room of Wanmiao Sect.

Feng Piaopiao was initially just being stubborn, but with this undeniable evidence, she straightened her back.

"Did you see that clearly? We're here to prove our innocence; you can't just frame us like this!"

"Our family is not even here, and you're still slandering and spreading rumors about us like this. Think about how you're going to apologize to her!"

After saying that, Feng Piaopiao immediately sent a message to Liu Yunqing about what Liu Yunzhao had done, and then slammed the VIP room door shut with a cold snort.

Outside the door, Master Lin's lowered eyes flashed with interest, but when he looked up, he looked at Liu Yunzhao with a troubled expression and said:

"I'm sorry, Fairy Yun Zhao, Qingquan Pavilion can only provide these things truthfully. If you have any other evidence, Qingquan Pavilion is willing to cooperate."

Who doesn't know that Qingquan Pavilion is heavily guarded?

Who doesn't know that Qingquan Pavilion treats troublemakers equally and has the ability to keep them there?

Although Qingquan Pavilion is just a merchant organization, even top-tier sects don't want to cause trouble for themselves.

Otherwise, given Feng Piaopiao's impulsiveness, she would have already started a fight with Liu Yunzhao's men, instead of just cursing a few words and closing the door.

Liu Yunzhao was uncomfortable with Master Lin's attitude, but he wasn't arrogant enough to make a move at Qingquan Pavilion.

Liu Yunzhao gave Master Lin a cold look, suppressed his frustration, and turned to walk back.

No one saw that the moment Liu Yunzhao turned around, a hint of arrogance and darkness flashed in her deliberately gentle eyes.

At the same time, a voice that no outsider could hear, like a whisper, resounded in Liu Yunzhao's mind.

"See? Without me, you're nothing but trash. So what if you have the title of the Chosen One? Everyone can still bully you!"

Liu Yunzhao frowned, his voice tinged with annoyance:

"It was my own fault for not having evidence; a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan."

Seeing that Liu Yunzhao wasn't buying it, the voice softened again, becoming seductive:

“I know you value the big picture and want to contribute to the Sun Realm, but this is really too unfair to you and it is also detrimental to your Dao heart.”

"Actually, you don't need to go to such lengths. Look, last time I only used a little effort, and you easily obtained the Golden Elixir and won people's hearts again, didn't you?"

"If you trust me completely, we can progress even faster and gain more power."

"You should know that Zhenru's advancement speed is no slower than yours, and there's also your half-sister who's lurking in the shadows, waiting for her chance. We don't have much time left."

"Senior Sister Yun Zhao, what should we do next?"

A sound came from inside, and Liu Yunzhao's confused eyes cleared, a sense of horror washing over him.

She almost succumbed to the allure of that voice!
