Inside the main hall of Tianbao Pavilion.
The atmosphere was unusually tense, as if even the air itself had frozen.
Murong Qingxue stood there, her eyebrows furrowed, her beautiful eyes burning with fury.
She held tightly in her hand a milky white jade pendant engraved with exquisite patterns. The jade pendant was crystal clear and obviously not an ordinary item.
This item is the auction certificate from Tianbao Pavilion.
Only with this item can you exchange for the Taiyin Divine Robe (damaged), a Primordial Treasure-level item, which you won at the Tianbao Pavilion auction three days ago.
She spent a lot of money to win this bid, how could she easily hand it over to someone else?
Standing opposite her was Murong Fu, whose face exuded an imposing aura despite his lack of anger.
He held out his hand and said in an unquestionable tone, "Hand it over, this doesn't belong to you!"
Murong Qingxue was furious, like a cat with its fur standing on end, and said coldly, "Why should I? I paid for this myself, why should I give it to you?"
"Just because you are from the main lineage, does that mean we, from a branch lineage, have to give up everything for free?"
Murong Fu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said coldly, "The main branch is above all else. Only when we become stronger can we protect you branch branches."
"This is a rule that has been passed down in the family since ancient times. Didn't your elders tell you this?"
Murong Qingxue sneered, "Pah! What main branch and branch!"
"It's just an excuse you so-called main lineage made up for your own benefit!"
Upon hearing this...
Murong Fu's expression turned cold, and he shouted, "How dare you speak to me like that!"
Murong Qingxue retorted without backing down, "What do I have to be afraid of?"
"Your main branch has always bullied our branch. I would rather die than hand this over to you!"
Murong Fu's face turned extremely gloomy. He roared, "Fine! Since you're so ignorant of the bigger picture, then don't blame me for using family discipline to punish you!"
At that moment, a powerful aura of a superior suddenly erupted from his body, pressing down on Murong Qingxue—
"you!"
Murong Qingxue struggled to resist this powerful pressure.
His once impressive career line was now fluctuating wildly due to his emotional state...
Her heart was filled with resentment and anger!
Why should I be forced to hand over the Primordial Treasure, which I acquired at such a high price?
It happened at the auction.
These members of the main family have all disappeared and haven't participated in the bidding at all.
But now, after all that effort, she has finally managed to win the bid for this treasure.
These people suddenly sprang up like mushrooms after rain, jumping out to intercept the deal.
Isn't this treating her like an easy target?
They can cut her off whenever they want, they don't care about her at all!
However, despite Murong Qingxue's deep reluctance and unwillingness.
But she felt a deep sense of helplessness.
After all, she is a member of the Murong family.
The other side is the main branch, whose strength far surpasses that of their outlying branches.
They were able to ascend to the Primordial Immortal Realm back then.
It was because the main family valued her as one of the Twelve Immortal Bodies, the Taiyin Divine Body, that they allowed their family to ascend here.
But who could have imagined it?
Is all of this just driven by self-interest?
Murong Qingxue couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. It turned out that so-called kinship and family ties were so vulnerable in the face of interests.
"Stubborn to the end!"
Murong Fu looked at Murong Qingxue in front of him, and the anger in his heart grew even stronger.
He couldn't understand why this woman was so stubborn, refusing to give in even though she knew she was at a disadvantage.
Murong Fu sneered and decided to show no mercy.
He planned to increase his intimidating presence and make Murong Qingxue feel genuine fear.
This will completely force her to submit.
However, just as Murong Fu was about to make his move...
A mocking voice suddenly came from afar, growing louder as it approached!
"I've truly had my eyes opened today!"
"Taking advantage of being the main family, they blatantly steal the treasures that the branch worked so hard to acquire. I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen anyone this shameless!"
This statement is like a sharp sword.
It pierced straight towards Murong Fu's heart, instantly turning his face extremely ugly.
Murong Fu suddenly turned his head and glared angrily!
He wanted to see who was so bold as to speak disrespectfully to him at this time.
A figure was slowly walking towards them from a distance...
Every step he took seemed so unhurried, as if he were full of confidence and self-assurance.
Upon seeing this, Murong Haotian immediately stepped in front of Fang Li, blocking his way and fiercely warning, "Where did this arrogant brat come from? Get out of here!"
As he spoke, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes!
This person not only meddles in other people's business, but also dares to so brazenly mock the Murong family.
They're just asking for trouble!
"This is a family matter of the Murong family. I advise you not to meddle, lest you lose your life!"
Did I talk to you?!
Fang Li's eyes narrowed slightly.
Without saying a word, he slapped her across the face!
Murong Haotian seemed completely unprepared for Fang Li's sudden attack, and before he could even react, he was caught off guard.
Fang Li's slap came flying like lightning!
Snap!
That slap was swift and hard!
A crisp sound echoed through the main hall of Tianbao Pavilion...
In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene became unusually quiet!
