"You... really ca?"
Mo Zhiran asked, looking at i Xuan with narrowed eyes, speechless.
Although Xiao Lan invited her yesterday, wasn’t it because she was embarrassed?
He didn’t believe this smart girl didn’t know.
"What? Senior Xiao also invited . Why can’t I co?"
i Xuan asked with an innocent look, as if confused. But inside, she didn’t know why she suddenly felt a little better.
"I an, why are you even coming to this auction? You ranked tenth and only got fifty low-grade spirit stones. What do you think you can buy there?"
Zhiran said, completely annoyed. He felt she was clearly playing around here.
’Does she think I don’t know her real identity? What the heck is she planning?’
He felt there was sothing fishy going on, but couldn’t tell what.
"Okay, don’t fight. Zhiran, I did invite her to attend this auction. I have enough invitations to accommodate her, so don’t worry."
Xiao Lan, who was standing awkwardly behind, finally spoke, clearly not wanting things to escalate further. Besides, it didn’t feel right to leave i Xuan behind after she already ca, did it?
After silencing them, she pointed at the huge city below, sprawling like a coiling dragon around the mountains.
"Look, we’ve already arrived at Azure Fla City. The Mystic Exchange Alliance is holding its auction at the center. Let’s go, I think it’s already ti."
She said before the spirit boat began its rapid descent, landing directly in front of the massive gates. Azure Fla City didn’t allow any unidentified flying objects inside, so they had to be careful.
"Xuaner? What are you doing here? Why are you here with him?"
As soon as they landed in front of the massive gates of Azure Fla City and walked out of the spirit boat, a sharp male voice drew their attention.
"Tianyu? You’re here too."
It was none other than Mo Tianyu, who was staring at i Xuan and Mo Zhiran with eyes full of suspicion.
He didn’t know why, but for so reason, he didn’t like seeing her close to Zhiran.
Even though he knew there was nothing between them. After all, it was just yesterday Zhiran threw Xuaner out of the ring rcilessly.
"Mmm... I ca here to attend an auction. Are you here for that too?"
Mo Tianyu smiled at i Xuan after seeing her distance herself imdiately from Zhiran. Moreover, he also noticed the senior behind them, which relieved him imdiately.
"Yeah... Senior invited ."
i Xuan pointed at Xiao Lan, then quickly ca near him, asking with a smile,
"Since we’re going to the sa place, how about I tag along? I have sothing to ask you, too."
She spoke timidly, like an innocent girl. Her behavior was in stark contrast to how she acted with Zhiran.
Even though Tianyu lost to Zhiran in the competition yesterday, she still took him as her golden egg to infiltrate the Divine Cauldron Sect.
After all, she knew about his hidden talent to so extent.
"Hmm... cough... Xuaner, I have important things to do today. So... let’s et another ti? For now, why don’t you just attend the auction with Senior Xiao?"
Surprisingly, when i Xuan asked Tianyu to tag along, he showed an embarrassed smile and directly refused her.
"Look, the auction is about to start, and I don’t think you should leave Senior Xiao alone and co with ."
Tianyu tried changing the subject before entering Azure Fla City with the crowd.
Since they were disciples of the Divine Cauldron Sect, they didn’t need to pay anything; just their robes with the azure pattern were enough.
"Is that so?"
i Xuan was stunned by his refusal, but didn’t bother to pressure him. She was just curious why he behaved that way.
"Yeah... don’t worry. We’ll et at the end of the auction."
Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing how understanding his Xuan’er seed. So, he smiled lightly and advised,
"Just stay with Senior and don’t leave her side. If soone dares to do anything to you, tell , and I’ll make sure they regret it."
He said this while giving a side glance to Zhiran, who was completely ignoring his existence.
"Okay, I’ll enter the venue first."
After saying that, he bowed slightly to Xiao Lan and left imdiately. He seed to be in quite a hurry.
"Oh... o-okay..."
He didn’t even wait for i Xuan to reply.
"..."
"Xuan’er, are you sad that your lover left you all alone?"
Just as the silence reigned in her surroundings, i Xuan suddenly heard soone’s voice right by her ear, followed by a warm breath that tickled her senses.
"W-what..."
i Xuan was startled and quickly stepped back, turning around only to see the smirking guy in front of her, his eyes full of teasing amusent.
It was none other than Mo Zhiran, who was completely ignoring their interaction just monts ago.
"The heck is wrong with you?"
i Xuan couldn’t help but curse Zhiran in anger, completely breaking her innocent look in seconds. Really, she couldn’t stand this guy at all.
’I really shouldn’t have co with this guy just to save a few spirit stones.’
i Xuan took a deep breath, trying to cleanse her soul of this cringe.
To be honest, because of this guy, she was beginning to hate the term Xuan’er.
"Haha... look, the mont Tianyu disappeared, you ca back to your true form. Sigh... why don’t you just stop your act all the ti?"
Zhiran sighed and shook his head dramatically, causing i Xuan to gnash her teeth in anger.
Xiao Lan, on the other hand, was already trying hard to suppress her laughter from the side.
But Zhiran didn’t care. Without letting i Xuan refute, he pointed at the auction venue.
"Anyway, about you being sad after being left alone... do you know the real reason Tianyu walked away from you?"
He asked with a slight smirk. He didn’t believe i Xuan wasn’t curious. After all, this girl had already set her sights on that guy for her own goals.
In fact, she indeed did that in her previous life. Just... that later she changed her ways midway, maybe because of so protagonist plot, who knew?
"What do you think? If you pay fifty low-grade spirit stones, I’ll tell you the reason."
Zhiran smiled and asked while rubbing his hands like a rchant.
"In your dreams."
Unfortunately, i Xuan wasn’t stupid enough to waste her spirit stones on him. So, although she was curious, she just rolled her eyes at him and looked at Xiao Lan awkwardly.
"Senior, let’s enter the auction house. If we keep listening to this idiot, we might really be late."
One of the reasons she ca with Xiao Lan was that, as a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, Xiao Lan could get a private room on the first floor.
By tagging along, i Xuan wouldn’t have to squeeze in with the crowd on the ground floor or stand among them.
Although now, she was starting to feel like she might have made a mistake.
"Cough... o-okay then. Zhiran, let’s go. I’ll tell you about the auction house as we head in."
Xiao Lan coughed lightly to hide her faint laughter, then gracefully led them toward the auction house.
As a rchant alliance that spanned across the entire continent, even the auction pavilion owned by the Mystic Exchange Alliance in Azure Fla City looked incredibly impressive.
Tall marble pillars, intricate carvings, and faintly glowing runes gave the entire building an aura of majesty that looked even grander than the city lord’s residence.
To be honest, being affiliated with such a rchant alliance wasn’t much different from joining a first-rate sect, just that their thods of promotion and influence varied depending on the region.
