The group spent nearly 20,000 high-grade spirit stones at the auction, which caught the attention of the organizers, other people at the scene, and people in the other two private rooms. They even told their younger relatives that they would go and meet them after the auction.
With nothing to do during the auction, Xu Yuehuai used his consciousness to enter the space and found Yuan Shui lying leisurely on the grass. He sensed Xu Yuehuai's entry but did not initiate a conversation with her. Xu Yuehuai lay down beside him, side by side, and asked, "Are you still angry?"
"Of course!" Yuan Shui immediately became excited when this was mentioned. He sat up on the grass and looked at Xu Yuehuai with anger in his eyes. "Do you know that if you die, I will fall into a deep sleep again, and who knows when anyone will be able to go to the place where I fell? I won't be able to make a new contract with someone else!"
Yuan Shui didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. Xu Yuehuai patted his frizzy head and said, "Then stay angry."
She felt somewhat guilty towards Yuan Shui in this matter, but she wasn't one to be bullied. She had already done enough.
Yuan Shui thought Xu Yuehuai would try to coax her again. Wasn't he just trying to get Xu Yuehuai's attention by making such a scene? But who would have thought that Xu Yuehuai would leave the next second and cut off their connection, preventing Yuan Shui from sending her a telepathic message.
Yuan Shui paced back and forth in the space, furious. "Xu Yuehuai! You've gone too far! Why won't you listen to me! If you had said a few more words, maybe I wouldn't be angry anymore!"
However, no one heard her.
...
The auction officially ended after the last item was sold to another private room. Xiaozhi walked up to the group with a smile on her face. "Honored guests, there are many eyes outside. Take this and follow me. Remember to stay close."
Five black robes appeared in Xiaozhi's hands, quite different from those worn by the guards, but a closer look revealed the difference between the two.
Fu Ziyi was the first to take the items and put them on, instantly concealing his aura. Fu Ziyi found it amusing, "You guys hurry up and put them on, then we'll be one team, it feels so much fun."
Fu Ziyi fiddled with the black robe he was wearing.
Seeing that there was no danger, Xu Yuehuai picked up a piece of clothing and put it on without hesitation. After all five of them were dressed, Xiaozhi opened the door. There was no one outside the room, but Xu Yuehuai could feel many eyes watching their every move.
Xu Yuehuai thought to herself that they were supposed to keep a low profile this time, but they ended up being so high-profile. They were just a bunch of weaklings who hadn't even reached the Body Tempering stage yet, and if someone targeted them, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
As Xiaozhi was about to leave, she glanced back subtly. Xu Yuehuai and the others understood what she meant. The next second, Xiaozhi's steps became strange. Xu Yuehuai, who was following behind Xiaozhi, was prepared for this and followed her steps without any burden.
The people behind him quickly adjusted and followed.
In a short while, the surrounding air seemed to distort. Those who were following behind them, now invisible and trying to catch up, were blocked behind them. They couldn't even see Xu Yuehuai and the others' backs, let alone catch up with them.
After those people went back and reported the matter, everyone basically concluded that Fu Ziyi and his group were from a large family in another city. No one dared to offend them again, let alone send people to ambush them on the way and rob them of their belongings.
Disciples in large families all have a spiritual imprint in their bodies. If they die, the last scene before their death will be transmitted back to their ancestor. They can't afford to gamble with that.
However, there were still one or two bold individuals who wanted to come up and chat with Xu Yuehuai and the others, so they waited outside the auction.
Xiao Zhi led Xu Yuehuai underground, to the place where Bai Ze was imprisoned.
Bai Ze was lying on the ground, barely alive, his breath weak, as if he would die at any moment.
Xu Yuehuai stepped forward and observed her for a moment, while Bai Ze was also observing her and the four people standing behind her. "Please form a contract with me."
Bai Ze lowered his head and stretched out one hand in respect and admiration.
Xu Yuehuai didn't move. She calmly said, "I won't make a contract with you. After I rescue you, you can leave on your own."
No one else knew what the two of them were saying, and the friends behind them didn't know why Xu Yuehuai suddenly stood still.
Seeing this, Xiaozhi couldn't help but say, "Honored guest, we'll help you form a contract with it next."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai shook her head, "No need, just put it in the spirit beast space and take it with me."
Xiaozhi was taken aback, not expecting this, but with the customer's best interests at heart, she had no reason to object and agreed, immediately instructing someone nearby to do it.
During this time, Bai Ze looked at Xu Yuehuai with great confusion, "Why don't you make a contract with me?"
Xu Yuehuai smiled at her, "Why would I make a contract with you? Your child once reminded me of this. Now I'm spending money to buy you out and save your life. Now I have absolutely no connection with your Bai Ze clan."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze trembled.
Xiaozhi found this strange. She glanced at Bai Ze and then at Xu Yuehuai, as if she wanted to know if something had happened between them.
However, this question remained unanswered. Someone had already brought over a spatial ring, and Xiaozhi put Bai Ze into the spatial ring as instructed. Xu Yuehuai did not put it into the spatial ring but wore it on her hand.
After completing all this, they left the auction venue and successfully became one of the distinguished clients of the Imperial Auction House. Next time they came, they wouldn't need to spend 100 spirit stones to buy a private room; they could have one directly.
As the group walked out of the auction house, they noticed a crowd of people standing outside, all looking in as if waiting for someone. Xu Yuehuai reacted quickly, realizing that these people were all with them. She immediately led her men out of the place, pretending that they knew nothing.
The people who were originally blocking the way saw that everyone had left by now, and the only people who came out could be from VIP room number ten. But when they saw that they were all so young and looked completely ignorant, their cultivation levels were... impossible to tell.
For a moment, everyone hesitated, neither stepping forward nor speaking up easily.
During that moment of stunned silence, Xu Yuehuai and the others quickly broke out of the encirclement. By the time the group realized what was happening and tried to chase after Xu Yuehuai, it was too late.
They took off running.
