The atmosphere in the room beca sowhat oppressive for a while.
Zhu Fei glanced at Ji Xuanyue’s expression, but for a mont he didn’t know how to start speaking, or rather, in this sort of situation, he simply didn’t know how to comfort Ji Xuanyue.
Eventually, it was Ji Xuanyue who broke the silence first, smiling at Zhu Fei and saying,
"Alright, most of what I told you earlier were things of the past. I haven’t thanked you yet for just now."
Zhu Fei was slightly startled, but he quickly realized Ji Xuanyue was probably referring to how he had stood up for her in front of Li Chengtian and the others.
He casually shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "It was nothing. Didn’t you help before? This ti, standing up for you was only natural."
"Oh, is that so?"
Ji Xuanyue’s beautiful eyes twinkled like the bright stars of a radiant night sky, gazing steadily and unblinkingly at Zhu Fei.
Zhu Fei felt sowhat baffled under her gaze and was just about to ask why when suddenly Ji Xuanyue giggled, then with a light flick of her jade finger, a storage ring suddenly landed in the palm of Zhu Fei’s hand.
"Hehe, Brother Zhu Fei, the items inside this ring are my reward to you. I’m going to recuperate and heal for now, rember to call on the day of the auction, okay?"
With those words, Ji Xuanyue didn’t wait for Zhu Fei’s response. Her figure flashed, and she imdiately disappeared from the room.
Watching Ji Xuanyue’s vanishing figure and holding the storage ring in his hand, a warm current unconsciously flowed through Zhu Fei’s heart.
He smiled and, without hesitation, his Divine Sense directly explored inside the storage ring.
However, he hadn’t expected to be slightly startled by what he saw.
Inside the storage ring, there were a staggering two million top-grade Spirit Stones.
Besides that, there were also three low-grade Spirit Veins placed within the ring.
Thinking back to the ti he, Ji Xuanyue, and Mo You had explored that so-called Hollow Jade Mine together, Zhu Fei’s feelings towards Ji Xuanyue suddenly beca sowhat complicated.
It took a short while before Zhu Fei managed to collect his emotions and walked out the door.
Having decided to participate in the Beihai Auction, his goals were certainly not limited solely to the Nine-colored Lotus.
Not to ntion, the top-grade flying True Artifact he had heard about was also one of the targets he aid to compete for.
Ji Xuanyue giving him so many Spirit Stones must also have guessed his intentions.
Regardless, he, Zhu Fei, acknowledged the favor Ji Xuanyue had shown him.
...
Three days later, Zhu Fei reappeared at the door to Ji Xuanyue’s room.
During these three days, aside from his daily cultivation, Zhu Fei visited various shops in Heavenly Star City.
After so effort, Zhu Fei managed to sell many Magickal Treasures and items that he didn’t need, obtaining nearly five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones. Combined with what Ji Xuanyue gave him and what he already possessed, he now had a total of three million top-grade Spirit Stones.
At that mont, before Zhu Fei could even knock, the door to Ji Xuanyue’s room was directly opened from the inside.
Ji Xuanyue was dressed in a goose-yellow dress, her jet-black hair, cascading like a waterfall, elegantly styled up high with a green jade hairpin inserted in the middle, giving her an ethereal and transcendent air.
At that mont, she looked toward Zhu Fei and said with a smile, "Is the auction starting today?"
Zhu Fei nodded and gave Ji Xuanyue a brief glance before suddenly asking, "Ji Xuanyue, are your injuries almost healed?"
Ji Xuanyue smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes, thanks to the Pill you gave earlier, I must thank Brother Zhu Fei here."
Zhu Fei shook his head with a smile, "It’s nothing. If you don’t have anything else to do, shall we head over now?"
"Sure." Ji Xuanyue nodded, and then she and Zhu Fei left the inn and headed straight for the Beihai Auction’s venue.
So ti later, when Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue arrived at the Beihai Auction’s venue, they bumped right into Yu Lun and Li Chengtian.
Yu Lun didn’t really react and just gave Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue a aningful look before heading into the venue.
He was well aware that here, he really couldn’t do anything to Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue, so he didn’t bother with idle talk.
However, Li Chengtian didn’t think the sa way. Upon seeing Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue, a sinister smile imdiately spread across his face.
He raised his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture at Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue, then transmitted his voice to Zhu Fei, "Boy, you just wait. After this auction is over, I will make sure you and that ’bitch’ suffer!"
Zhu Fei’s gaze turned cold, and he squinted at Li Chengtian, also transmitting his voice, "Just for what you just said, I will definitely not let you go, and even with Yu Lun that old fossil by your side, it won’t change the fact of your impending miserable death."
With that, Zhu Fei no longer paid attention to Li Chengtian and moved toward the auction hall with Ji Xuanyue.
"Damn it! How dare you talk to like this. I swear, I’ll make you two beg for death, but you won’t be able to die!"
Watching the direction where Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue disappeared, Li Chengtian’s face twisted, his eyes filled with a vengeful and brutal intent.
"Ah? Mr. Li, what’s wrong? Did soone offend you?"
Just then, a robust, androgynous male voice suddenly rang out behind Li Chengtian.
Li Chengtian turned around to see two n dressed in fiery red attire, each with a long sword at their waist, approaching him.
"Oh, it’s Chi Yangzi and Elder Hong She from the Fire Cloud Sword Sect, what a coincidence."
Clearly, Li Chengtian wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about the Fire Cloud Sword Sect, responding only indifferently.
But Chi Yangzi and Elder Hong She didn’t see it that way. They exchanged glances and eventually, Elder Hong She said:
"Mr. Li, although our Fire Cloud Sword Sect is only a Sixth Grade Sect, if you need help in the future, we can still offer so assistance."
Hearing Elder Hong She’s words, Li Chengtian seed to rember sothing, and quickly asked, "Speaking of which, I heard that the death of a few of your Sect’s disciples was related to soone nad Zhu Fei, right?"
Li Chengtian’s words made Chi Yangzi and Elder Hong She’s faces change at the sa ti.
Chi Yangzi directly asked, "Mr. Li, are you implying...?"
Li Chengtian’s face suddenly showed a cold smile, and he nodded, "Yes, the one who just provoked was that Zhu Fei!"
