Chapter 276 Re-entering the Black Market
The next morning, before the sun had fully risen, a light mist filled Peach Blossom Valley.
A luxurious warship slowly sailed into the valley. The people on board were the elders of the Nan family. Their purpose was to bring back Nan Yaoyao.
However, when Ye Xi heard the news, she immediately burst into tears, and no amount of comforting from those around her could soothe her.
Seeing Ye Xi crying so sadly, everyone felt helpless.
They had no choice but to send Cen Feng to find Ye Luo, hoping he could comfort Ye Xi. However, when Cen Feng reached the cave entrance, he was stopped by Ling Qing, who had been guarding it.
"I'm looking for my junior brother." Cen Feng said, starting to walk forward, but then realized she wasn't going to let him pass. "What's wrong?"
“Young Master Cen, please forgive me, my young master…” Ling Qing paused, bowed, and said, “He was unwell this morning… He just instructed that he should not be disturbed.”
"Oh? Is that so? Is it urgent now?"
"It's all fine now, Young Master Cen, please rest assured."
Cen Feng looked at the cave dwelling that was supported by the magic array and instructed, "His body is different now...you must be careful."
“Of course.” Ling Qing’s eyes flickered slightly as she asked, “What business do you have with the young master? I’ll inform him when he wakes up later.”
Cen Feng said, "Sigh, it's all because of Xixi. She's making a huge scene at the mountain gate right now..."
"Xixi... what happened to her?" At this moment, Ye Luo's voice came from inside the cave. Her voice was slightly hoarse, yet soft and charming.
Cen Feng looked for a long time but couldn't see him coming out. He said, "She's crying and making a fuss right now, clinging to Yao Yao and refusing to let go. We're at our wits' end."
"Wait, I'm coming over... umm..."
Ye Luo stopped mid-sentence. Cen Feng and Ling Qing exchanged glances, then asked after a moment, "Junior Brother, are you alright?"
"N-nothing..." Ye Luo said, "Let Xixi go play at the Nan family's place. Anyway, we won't be at the sect for a few days."
"Huh?" Cen Feng said, "That's true... I'll go talk to that girl then, you should get some rest."
Ling Qing turned to leave, but Ye Luo stopped her, saying, "Send some people to protect Miss's safety."
"Yes!" Ling Qing responded and withdrew.
The barrier closed, and Ye Luo collapsed onto the bed, exhausted, only to be picked up by him...
...
"Shut up!" Ye Luo was covered in sweat and felt like crying. He shouldn't have let this mentally challenged dragon run wild.
I originally thought I could easily control him, but I underestimated him as a hot-blooded young man, and now I've really put him through the wringer.
...
Upon hearing this, he paused for a moment, then instinctively began to emit a calming pheromone.
Suddenly, the fragrance of high mountain pine enveloped him, soothing his tired mind and lulling him into a deep sleep.
...
After who knows how long she had been up, when Ye Luo woke up again, she found Xiao Junyi sleeping soundly beside her. Looking at him, who was fast asleep, she felt like beating him up to vent her anger.
To help him get through his heat, a lot of things have been delayed. Ye Luo pinched his cheek in revenge, put on an outer robe, walked outside the cave, and said, "Ling Qing."
Upon hearing the voice, a slender figure in black quickly appeared and respectfully asked, "Young master, what are your orders?"
"It's alright. Has Xixi arranged for someone to help her?"
"Don't worry, I've already made all the arrangements."
Ye Luo asked, "That girl left so gracefully, didn't she cry?"
"without."
Ling Qing suppressed a smile, trying to remain calm, and coughed lightly, saying, "Miss also said... to tell you two to take it easy..."
Ye Luo paused, then chuckled awkwardly, "This brat... she's really quite understanding!"
Seeing the weariness on his face, Ling Qing couldn't help but feel a pang of worry.
She walked over to him and asked with concern, "Young master, you look a little tired. Please go inside and rest."
Ye Luo sighed and rubbed her sore waist and hips. "Hey, it's okay. Luckily, that idiot has calmed down, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to withstand his antics."
Ling Qing looked at him and smiled.
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Ye Luo pondered for a moment and then said, "Go and make the arrangements. We'll go to the black market tomorrow."
"Huh?" Ling Qing said after a moment, "If you need anything, just tell us and we'll go. Why bother making another trip?"
"That was the way it should have been... but your master is too persistent, so now we have no choice but to leave him in the cave."
Upon hearing this, Ling Qing couldn't help but smile. "Alright, I'll make the arrangements later."
...
At dawn.
Ye Luo dressed herself up carefully, and while the little dragon was still fast asleep, she led her people gracefully out of the valley.
However, before he could even leave the valley, he unexpectedly encountered Cen Feng, Yu Qianling, and others.
Ye Luo asked, "Where are you all going?"
Yu Qianling replied, "My cave dwelling is almost finished, so I'd like to go to the market to buy some things. What about you?"
Ye Luo smiled and said, "I'm planning to check out the black market in the border town. Why don't we go together?"
"Junior Sister Yu...can I not go?" Xiao Huan said with a yawn. "All I want to do right now is sleep. Wouldn't it be conspicuous if I went with you...isn't it enough for Yu Xuan to go with you?"
Yu Xuan chuckled softly, glancing at Yu Qianling beside her. Her face flushed, and she snapped, "Just go when I tell you to! Stop talking nonsense!"
Just then, a voice said weakly, "I want to go too..."
Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and saw Feng Yue peeking out from behind a tree, saying, "I also want to buy something..."
Everyone looked surprised, and Ye Luo chuckled softly, "Then let's go."
All he wanted to do right now was to get going, otherwise, if that mentally challenged dragon woke up and started causing trouble, he probably wouldn't be able to leave again.
The Tian Shen 1 sped along and arrived at the nearest border town in just two hours.
As soon as Yu Qianling entered the street, looking at the items on display in the market, she excitedly pulled Yu Xuan and called out to Xiao Huan before leaving.
Ye Luo watched the disappearing figure, shook her head and smiled, "Following Third Senior Sister, this shopping maniac... I wonder if the two of them can handle it."
After finishing her rant, Ye Luo noticed Cen Feng staring blankly at something and asked, "Is something wrong?"
After frowning for a while, Cen Feng said, "Just now, for a moment, I felt like someone was spying on us."
"Oh?" Ye Luo's eyes narrowed slightly. Cen Feng, like him, cultivated the Great Divine Guidance Technique, so he was quite sharp in terms of divine sense perception.
"Ling Qing".
"Yes!" Ling Qing gestured to the two people beside her, instructing them to lie in wait and observe from the shadows.
Ye Luo led Cen Feng and the others into the black market. A moment later, a figure emerged from a street corner, gazing in the direction they had left, before disappearing into the crowded streets as well.
Ye Luo and Cen Feng had been to this black market before, so this was a return visit. The streets were bustling with people, and the stalls were filled with all sorts of rare and exotic treasures, a dazzling sight.
Ye Luo searched for the necessary materials along the way and overheard several cultivators discussing that there were items up for auction at that auction house today, so she led her people there.
To Ye Luo's surprise, the guards did not stop them this time, and they were able to enter the auction site smoothly.
Moreover, they were led to a private room by a waiter. Ye Luo was even more curious at this moment. Who was it that treated them with such courtesy?
"Young Master, will there be any problems?" Ling Qing whispered.
Ye Luo sat in the private room, looking down at the packed hall below, where the auctioneer's enthusiastic bidding was rising and falling. His eyes gleamed as he said, "Don't be nervous. This person shouldn't have any ill intentions towards us. Later, you can check which faction owns this property."
"yes."

Chapter 275 has had some scenes removed. If you didn't see it, go check the book's forum. Later chapters will have less description of interactions between the main characters. Don't ask, it's just numb.
I'm such a fool, I'm not even interested in doing this for love anymore. (凸(艹皿艹))
