night.
Inside the Yuntian Auction House.
Rong Zi's wrists were loosely bound with a rope. She shook her hands and said something to Gu Xiaochui beside her.
"Tie it tighter, otherwise it won't look realistic enough."
Gu Xiaochui hesitated for a moment, her expression conflicted. "Do we really have to do this?"
What if I mess it up?
"It's at least a hundred high-grade spirit stones, money delivered right to our hands for free, why not take it?" Rong Zi urged, "Stop dawdling, hurry up!"
"oh."
Gu Xiaochui responded and tightened the rope even more.
After he finished, he awkwardly tugged at the mask covering his face. "But why am I covering my face?"
“Look how handsome you are, and Yun Qin likes handsome guys like you the most. If we don’t cover your handsome face, what if she has designs on you?” Rong Zi said seriously, as if she was thinking of Gu Xiaochui’s best interests.
In her previous life, Yun Qin knew what Gu Xiaochui looked like.
If Yun Qin recognizes who Gu Xiaochui is in today's setting, she won't be able to perform well.
Gu Xiaochui reached out and touched his face, then immediately nodded in agreement.
"That makes sense. You're very forward-thinking."
He was the most handsome man in their village.
That Yun Qin not only stole his master's Crimson Flame Fruit, but also shamelessly turned around and accused him. She's clearly a despicable person.
He's so handsome, he'd better take good care of himself.
Rong Zi: "..."
That's really not modest at all...
However, to be honest, Gu Xiaochui is indeed quite good-looking.
With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, he was a handsome young man who showed no signs of being mentally challenged.
Behind Rong Zi and Gu Xiaochui, two people dressed in Yuntian Auction House attire looked at each other, completely bewildered as to what the two were up to.
...
Inside a top-tier private box on the second floor of the auction house.
Yun Qin sat calmly in a seat by the window, her face aloof and indifferent.
Commonly known as facial paralysis.
Her three senior brothers sat beside her.
Opposite them sat two unfamiliar men: Shi Yuankun, the eldest disciple of the Mulin Sect, one of the five major sects, and Yang Wei, the third disciple.
Yuntian City is part of the territory of the Mulin Sect.
Having heard that the disciples of the Yao Huo Sect have arrived in Yun Tian City, they, as the hosts, naturally have to step forward and fulfill their duties as gracious hosts.
Shi Yuankun, as the chief disciple of the Mulin Sect, has reached the Nascent Soul stage in cultivation.
He held a cup of tea in his hand, subtly observing Yun Qin across from him. He noticed her extraordinary beauty and refined temperament, and how she showed no fear even when facing someone of his status and cultivation. A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
"I had long heard that the newly accepted junior sister of Yaohuo Sect was exceptionally talented and brilliant. Seeing her today, I can confirm that she is indeed extraordinary."
Yang Wei's gaze became even more blatant, and he unabashedly exclaimed, "So beautiful and talented! How wonderful it would be if you were our sect's junior sister!"
Qin Ziteng, He Shilin, and Ye Tian looked at the two people opposite them, and their expressions were not very good.
Two more men eyeing his junior sister...
If Shi Yuankun's cultivation level weren't too high for them to defeat, they would have gouged out their eyes just by looking at Yun Qin with those eyes.
Just then, someone knocked on the door and said, "Young Master Qin, someone is looking for you."
Qin Ziteng frowned. "Who?"
"I don't know him, but he brought a young girl with him, saying they were there to exchange spirit stones."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qin, who had been maintaining a composed and dignified demeanor, suddenly turned serious.
Qin Ziteng quickly turned around and said to the outside, "Let them in."
The door opened, and Gu Xiaochui, holding one end of a rope, led Rong Zi in.
"I heard you're offering a reward of one hundred high-grade spirit stones for this person?"
Yun Qin stared intently at Rong Zi's face, her eyes filled with murderous intent. Qin Ziteng slammed his fist on the table in anger, stood up, pointed at her, and said, "Rong Zi, is it really you?"
They were chased so badly by the Crimson Wind Fire Rhinoceros in the Monster Forest that they almost lost their lives.
His junior sister was even harmed by her, losing the very important Crimson Flame Fruit. She could only make herself suffer by eating the little bit of fruit that was left behind. Then she spent a lot of money to buy a lot of fire-attribute spiritual medicines to help her, and only then did she finally succeed in establishing her foundation.
The reason they came to Cloud City was to buy spiritual medicine for their junior sister.
Because Cloud City is the largest trading place for elixirs and spiritual plants in the cultivation world, it is also known as the Medicine Capital.
All of this is thanks to Rong Zi.
Today they finally got to see Rong Zi again!
They are determined to avenge their past wrongs!
Rong Zi rolled her eyes at Qin Ziteng. "Hey buddy, are you blind? I'm already standing right here, and you still ask such a stupid question?"
"You..." Qin Ziteng was furious and drew his sword, ready to fight. "You're asking for death!"
Upon seeing this, Gu Xiaochui was so frightened that his hand trembled.
He quickly pulled Rong Zi behind him and raised his voice to stop her.
"Wait a minute."
Qin Ziteng stopped in his tracks, looking at Gu Xiaochui with displeasure. "How dare you stop me? Do you know who I am? I am a direct disciple of the Yaohuo Sect. Do you want to die?"
"So what if he's a direct disciple of the Yaohuo Sect? Does being a direct disciple give him the right to bully others and steal from them in public? I captured this person myself. You posted a notice saying you were willing to pay one hundred high-grade spirit stones in exchange for him. Are you planning to go back on your word?"
