"How could it be..." An Zeyan frowned slightly and murmured softly.
He just closed his eyes slightly, mobilized the spiritual power in his body, and a mysterious force surged instantly.
Then, he gently waved his right hand, a ray of light flashed, and an ancient space ring appeared in his hand.
Following An Zeyan's movements, the space ring slowly opened, and several crystal clear spirit stones emitting a faint spiritual light floated out of it.
He reached out to take the spirit stones, then handed them to Guan Muxi and said slowly, "These are the spirit stones for this month."
Guan Muxi was originally waiting happily, but when she saw the number of spirit stones in An Zeyan's hand, her eyes widened and her face was full of disbelief.
She was so anxious that she jumped up and down, shouting, "What! I gave you a whole year's worth of pills, and you only gave me a month's worth of spirit stones? What the hell is going on?"
Facing Guan Muxi's questioning, An Zeyan showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. He smiled bitterly and explained, "Xiao Xi, I'm really sorry. The auction house's business has been slow recently, and capital turnover is a bit difficult, so I can only give you this many spirit stones first. I hope you can understand and don't blame me."
Hearing this, Guan Muxi's face flushed with anger. She stamped her feet and said coquettishly, "Humph! That sounds nice, but who knows if you're deliberately lying to me? If you run away with the remaining spirit stones, where can I find you?"
As she spoke, she stared at An Zeyan closely, as if trying to see through his true thoughts.
Seeing this, An Zeyan's lips curled up slightly, and a smile appeared on his handsome face.
He took a step forward, approached Guan Muxi, and whispered, "Don't worry, Xiaoxi. How about this? From now on, I'll mortgage myself to you. If the auction house's funds are flowing smoothly, I'll have Hu Yi send the remaining spirit stones to you. How do you think?"
After saying that, his deep eyes stared straight at Guan Muxi, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
At that moment, An Zeyan suddenly moved forward without any warning, and the distance between them instantly narrowed to a heart-pounding level.
Guan Muxi only felt a heat coming towards her, and when she heard what An Zeyan said, her heart seemed to be suddenly grasped by an invisible hand, and then loosened so heavily that her heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, Guan Muxi's head became dizzy, as if he had lost the ability to think.
She didn't know why, but she nodded involuntarily, as if possessed, and replied, "Yeah."
As soon as this simple word came out of her mouth, even she felt a little surprised and at a loss.
However, before Guan Muxi could react, or even feel a hint of regret, An Zeyan had already taken her hand without hesitation and walked towards the courtyard where she lived.
Along the way, Guan Muxi could only passively follow An Zeyan's steps, but his heart was filled with confusion and chaos.
In this way, An Zeyan successfully moved into Guan Muxi's courtyard and began to choose a room.
From that day on, for a long time to come, no matter where Guan Muxi went, she could see An Zeyan following her like a shadow.
Every time they met, An Zeyan would always smile and confidently say to her, "I owe you a lot of spirit stones. To prevent me from defaulting on my debt, I have no choice but to mortgage myself to you!"
Guan Muxi was helpless, and couldn't drive him away, so he just treated him as an extra follower.
This day finally arrived. The sun shone on the earth, as if illuminating the way forward for Guan Muxi - today was the day she would go to the Poison Sect to teach.
Early in the morning, Guan Muxi couldn't wait to start packing his bags.
She moved quickly and methodically, neatly placing each necessary item into her luggage.
An Zeyan, who was standing by her side, accompanied her silently, handing her what she needed from time to time, his eyes full of concern and reluctance.
When everything was ready, Guan Muxi came before the sect leader and all the senior brothers and sisters and said goodbye to them one by one.
Everyone has high hopes for Guan Muxi and sends her sincere blessings.
Afterwards, Guan Muxi and An Zeyan embarked on this journey full of unknowns together.
After a long journey, they finally arrived at the location of the Poison Sect - the Poison Insect Valley in the Middle Realm.
On both sides of the valley stood towering cliffs, like two natural barriers guarding this mysterious area.
In order to successfully reach the interior of the Poison Sect, one must first cross a dense forest located outside the Poison Sect.
This dense forest is filled with all kinds of poisonous insects and weeds. If you are not careful, you may fall into an irretrievable situation.
If you are not a member of the Poison Sect who is familiar with the environment here, it would be difficult to pass through safely.
Guan Muxi stood at the outskirts of the dense forest, looking around cautiously, hoping to see someone coming to pick them up, but there was no sign of anyone.
As time passed, Guan Muxi became increasingly anxious.
She took a deep breath, decided not to wait any longer, and resolutely raised her foot and stepped out.
However, at this moment, a strong hand suddenly grabbed her arm tightly. It turned out to be An Zeyan.
He looked at Guan Muxi with a worried look on his face and said, "Wait."
After he finished speaking, An Zeyan calmly stretched out his right hand and waved it lightly. A bead shining with mysterious light slowly flew out from the space ring on his finger.
The bead is round all over and emits a faint but eye-catching light.
Then, An Zeyan raised his arm slightly, and the bead seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, quickly flying above their heads and hovering there steadily.
Then, strange rays of light burst out from the inside of the bead, covering it from top to bottom like a layer of gauze, and finally formed a transparent and solid protective film, completely covering the two of them.
After doing all this, An Zeyan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned his head to look at Guan Muxi behind him, and said softly: "Let's go." Then he took a step and walked forward first.
Seeing this, Guan Muxi hurriedly followed, imitating An Zeyan's movements and tone as she walked, muttering, "Let's go~" She looked cute and playful.
Soon, the two walked into the dense forest.
Compared to the bright and open outside, it seems particularly dark and damp in here.
The dense branches and leaves almost block out the sun, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate through the layers of leaves.
Moreover, there was a thin layer of white mist in the air, which made people feel a little cold and weird.
Looking inside the Poison Sect, the little Lolita who was supposed to come to pick up Guan Muxi was now lying on a big soft bed with her legs spread out, sleeping soundly.
Her little mouth was slightly open, and she made a soft snoring sound from time to time. It was obvious that she had already forgotten about picking someone up.
