Everyone immediately understood: the Qu family was trying to spend money to regain their lost face.

Although Qu Jinghuai was rejected by that ignorant woman, his Qu family is still an extremely wealthy and powerful family that others cannot aspire to!

Moreover, as the head of the family, Qu Jinxian would certainly not embarrass himself in public again.

Once everyone understood this, their eyes lit up, and they all turned around and rushed to find Ji Fenghua and Mi Xi.

Not to mention the wandering cultivators, even the collateral descendants of the Qu family and the scions of prominent families who came to watch the spectacle were all very tempted.

That's 50,000 low-grade spirit stones! For anyone, that's a huge sum of money!

The buzzing of people talking kept swirling above Ji Fenghua and Mi Xi's heads, so much so that Qu Jinghuai and Qu Jinxian's words were drowned out; he and Mi Xi didn't hear them at all.

Ji Fenghua was pulling Mi Xi along as they weaved through the crowd.

Suddenly, the people in front of him huddled together tightly, and he tried to pry them off several times but couldn't.

Ji Fenghua's heart sank. He looked up and saw a circle of malicious smiling faces staring intently at him and Mi Xi.

It was as if he and Mi Xi were not two people, but two large, moving spirit stones.

Mi Xi raised her pretty face and saw these people staring at her with longing. She raised her right hand imperiously, pointed her index finger at the people blocking her way, and scolded, "You dogs, how dare you block my way! If you know what's good for you, get out of my way, or I'll make you regret it!"

"Hehe, whose brat is this? He's not that old, but he's got quite a temper." A burly man with a full beard rubbed his pubic hair and chuckled as he approached Ji Fenghua and Mi Xi, saying, "Since your parents can't teach you, then let me teach you what it means to be outdone by others. Your parents may spoil you, but the world won't!"

As the burly man with the thick beard approached, the others around them also moved closer to Ji Fenghua and Mi Xi in a similarly urgent manner.

No, it should be said that they rushed to reach out and grab Ji Fenghua and Mi Xi.

"How dare you!"

Mi Xi panicked when she saw that instead of retreating, they were grabbing at her and Ji Fenghua even more urgently.

But to those people, her furious rebukes sounded no different from a kitten baring its teeth, utterly lacking any deterrent power.

People didn't soften their hearts or show mercy just because she and Ji Fenghua were handsome and lovely. Fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones were enough to extinguish people's compassion.

"I am the second young lady of the Hidden Sect, who dares to touch me!"

Helpless, Mi Xi finally managed to take out her identity token while several hands grabbed her at the same time, and held it high above her head, shouting.

The excited crowd quieted down slightly.

Those closest to Ji Fenghua and Mi Xi also looked up at the identity token the little girl was holding up.

However, the Hidden Sect has always remained secluded from the world, and no one knows whether the token is real or fake.

Just as people were momentarily stunned...

Mi Xi threw out the flying carpet, grabbed Ji Fenghua with her left hand, and leaped into the air: "Little devil, let's go!"

The two successfully jumped onto the flying carpet and quickly ascended into the air.

"You blind bastards, and the Qu family, I'll remember you. Just wait for the Hidden Sect's revenge!" Mi Xi said angrily as she controlled the flying carpet to escape.

Those independent cultivators were alright; they didn't take the little girl's words to heart.

Because there are so many of them, the little girl might not be able to remember everyone.

Moreover, they have no fixed abode, so it's not easy to seek revenge against them.
