Chapter 377: Demon City Auction
Chen Shuyan sneered, "Why did your senior brother look for Xiaoman? When and where? Why?"
Ouyang Zhou was speechless. It would be awkward to say that he was seeking to settle the score with Lin Xiaoman or take her life.
He frowned, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Wu Yu.
"Ouyang Zhou, Lin Xiaoman has been staying in the Jinwu clan's territory for the past two years. He hasn't even been to Yaodu. Did Li Mang really go looking for Xiaoman? Did he go to the Jinwu clan?"
"Don't think I don't know. You followed the Golden Crow Clan to hunt and went to the Misty Forest. At that time, Lin Xiaoman was not in the Golden Crow Clan's territory."
Lin Xiaoman suddenly realized what was going on. "Oh, you mean that time when we went hunting in the Misty Forest, Senior Li came to see me?"
"right."
Ouyang Zhou looked at Lin Xiaoman with a gloomy face. He didn't know why his senior brother went to find Lin Xiaoman. In short, Lin Xiaoman must have taken something from his senior brother, which caused his senior brother to keep an eye on Lin Xiaoman all these years.
"Misty Forest, could it be that he encountered some kind of opportunity?"
Lin Xiaoman didn't say whether he saw Li Mang or not, but just talked about the Misty Forest.
Wu Yu glanced at Lin Xiaoman quickly and said nothing.
He now completely realized that Lin Xiaoman did not want anyone to know that she and Li Mang had met before, so he definitely could not tell it.
However, when I brought a group of people from the Golden Crow clan to find Lin Xiaoman, I told everyone at that time that Lin Xiaoman had encountered an enemy, and there are only a few cultivators in the demon clan now, so it would be easy for them to find out.
He was a little worried.
"Impossible. If there is an opportunity, my senior brother will definitely tell me."
"How do I tell you?"
The circle of immortal friends here cannot be used, and the most you can use is the sound transmission talisman.
Ouyang Zhou frowned. In fact, his relationship with his senior brother was not that close. If something like this happened, neither he nor Li Mang would tell each other.
However, Li Mang's father was very powerful, and he was afraid that he would have a hard time explaining himself if he returned to the sect.
"In short, did you meet my senior brother that time?"
He frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly stared at Lin Xiaoman and asked.
"I'm telling you, it's best not to lie. If anything happens to my senior brother, the sect will be able to use special methods to find out what happened before his death."
Lin Xiaoman's heart skipped a beat, but he remained expressionless. "I saw him. He attacked Wu Yu and me, but we both ran away. I don't know what happened next."
Ouyang Zhou's expression changed when he heard this, and he sneered, "It's you."
"What do you mean? Xiaoman only said that he had seen it, and that it was Li Mang who attacked them, and they all ran away at that time."
"She didn't say anything before, but now she's speaking out after hearing me say I have a special method. If she's not feeling guilty, what could she be? It must be her."
Lin Xiaoman took a deep breath. "Senior Ouyang, you can ask Wu Yu and the Golden Crow Clan about this matter. Most of the demon cultivators who went hunting at the time came to the scene to find me. Senior Li attacked us by surprise, and Wu Yu and I were naturally no match for him, so Wu Yu went to get reinforcements. I used a secret technique to escape, and later Wu Yu brought cultivators from the Golden Crow Clan to find me. You can confirm this process with the Golden Crow Clan. After all, Senior Li was still fine when I left."
At the battlefield, although Tuanzi fought fiercely with the enemy, she killed Li Mang very quickly and neatly, without giving Li Mang any chance to self-destruct, so there were not many traces left. In addition, she handled the scene in a timely manner, so even when Wu Yu and others went there later, they could only see that a battle had taken place there, but could not see that anyone had died there.
Ouyang Zhou frowned and looked at Lin Xiaoman. Although he felt that there was no other possibility, Lin Xiaoman was very serious. In addition, when his senior brother faced Lin Xiaoman alone, it was impossible for him to be killed in return.
According to her description, in that situation, her senior brother was alone with Lin Xiaoman, so he would definitely kill her. Even if she escaped, he would chase her. But her senior brother did not chase her. What was the reason?
Could it be that senior brother really encountered an opportunity?
Ouyang Zhou's face turned grim when he thought of this. He glanced at Lin Xiaoman and Chen Shuyan and said, "Hmph, I'll ask the Golden Crow Clan. It'd be best if it has nothing to do with you."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Staring at his leaving back, Lin Xiaoman and Chen Shuyan looked at each other, and they sat down again tacitly.
"Eat, eat."
Lin Xiaoman waved his hand. Just then the dishes arrived, and the three of them tacitly agreed not to mention Li Mang again.
Although Wu Yu didn't know the whole story, he was shocked when Lin Xiaoman suddenly admitted that she had seen Li Mang. He felt relieved to know that what she said was true.
Although he felt that Li Mang should not die at the hands of Lin Xiaoman, he always had a bad feeling. When he heard Lin Xiaoman say this, he felt relieved.
"Yes, eat, eat, don't let irrelevant people ruin your appetite."
The dishes at the stir-fry restaurant quickly made their worries go away. The dishes here are spicy, delicious, and full of flavor. The ingredients are all very good.
"Well, I'm going to buy some more to take back."
Lin Xiaoman was halfway through her meal when she ran to the boss to buy a bunch of dishes, intending to give them to Tuanzi and Baibai when she returned.
She just met Ouyang Zhou today, so she didn't want to call out Tuanzi again for fear of being seen and thought too much.
After all, Tuanzi appears to be at level seven, so he can hold his own against Li Mang.
At least, he looks more powerful than her who is in the Jindan stage.
After dinner, the three of them went to the market again. The auction was in the afternoon, so they waited until the afternoon to get the "tickets" and went to the auction.
Wu Yu got the ticket from Wu Peng. He had originally planned to buy it, but he happened to meet Wu Peng at the entrance of the auction and he had some extra tickets.
The group entered the auction together. The auction house did a good job of keeping secrets. After entering, everyone was given a mask and a cloak that covered the entire body tightly. Even if one used mental power to sense, one could not tell whether the person under the cloak was a human cultivator or a demon cultivator, or how powerful he was.
"Let's go and see what the legendary blood jade flower looks like."
Thanks to Wu Peng, they followed him up to the second floor and into one of the private rooms.
There were already a few people sitting in this box. When Lin Xiaoman saw them coming, she felt her scalp tingling at just one look. The people here were all stronger than her.
Not only her, but also Chen Shuyan and Wu Yu, when they entered the box, hunched their shoulders a little, found a place to sit, and watched the auction obediently.
You know what, watching the auction here is much better than on the lower floor.
After Wu Peng arranged them to sit down, he went to the person sitting in the middle and whispered something. In short, it was not a common language for humans, so Lin Xiaoman and Chen Shuyan couldn't understand it. But after they realized what they were saying, the person turned around and looked at Lin Xiaoman and nodded at her.
Lin Xiaoman: ...So powerful! Even stronger than the Nascent Soul stage! Could this be the leader of the Golden Crow clan?
