C548 The Emergence of Emotion
Seeing that the map fragment had finally fallen into the hands of Ying Xuanyi, the rest of them could only helplessly accept this outcome even though they were very unhappy. This was because this was a fair battle and losing meant that they had lost.
If Ying Xuanyi was just a direct disciple of some ordinary force, perhaps he could consider ambushing them on their way back. However, since they were the famous young masters of the Shadow Pavilion in the ancestral grounds, no one dared to have any thoughts of killing them.
"This year's auction shall come to an end. Guests, we shall meet again in the future." When everyone was regretting that they were unable to obtain the map fragment, Xiao Meixi, who was standing in the center of the auction house, still looked forward with her sweet smile and bowed before bringing the servant girl that was standing beside her and headed towards the secret room's tunnel at the back.
Not even half a minute after she left, the people sitting in their respective rooms did not linger any longer and left one by one with their men.
"Why did you help me get that map fragment just now, little bastard?" However, just as Ling Yunfan was about to stand up and leave, Zi Lian, who was beside him, suddenly reached out her slender white hands and firmly grabbed him as she spoke while gnashing her teeth.
It looked as if Lingyun owed him a lot of crystals.
Although Nangong Wan'er and Lian Xi wanted to step forward and stop this scene, when they saw the threatening gaze of Zi Lian, they swallowed back the words that they were about to say.
"I say, elder sister, there are so many powerful people here that almost all of them have enmity with me. If I really took away the map fragment, then I would have been surrounded and beaten just as I ran out of the auction house. I'm afraid that I would be prepared to reincarnate." Hearing the other party's words that did not come from his brain, Ling Yun Fan responded with a face full of contempt.
After saying that, he explained to him how many people were staring at his little life.
"Alright, I was inconsiderate. I'm sorry." After receiving his explanation, the purple lotus quickly thought of the outcome if things really went in that direction, so the dissatisfaction towards Ling Yunfan disappeared. Then, as if he had thought of something interesting, he immediately added, "You're not that easy either. You've already been targeted by so many enemies."
As she said this, Zi Lian thought about how his lifespan was running out due to the large amount of soul power he had. She didn't know why, but she felt a sharp pain in her heart. She really didn't understand why this was happening.
"None of your business. I'm leaving. See you later." Seeing the beautiful lady sincerely apologizing and ridiculing him, Lingyun did not bother to say anything to her. He immediately bid her farewell and walked outside without looking back.
"Hey, Yun Fan!"
Seeing this, Lian Xi thought that he was angry and immediately chased after him. Although Nangong Wan'er wanted to follow him, she still decided to stay by Zi Lian's side.
When the two of them ran out, the other two girls sighed and followed.
… …
Walking out of the Xuanhan Clear Spirit Auction, the two girls strolled around for a bit before heading towards the Medicine Fragrance Sect.
After all, the two of them had extraordinary cultivation bases. Even if they were traveling at a normal speed, they shouldn't be underestimated. Thus, they arrived back there in less than a quarter of an hour.
The moment he entered the door, he saw that Lian Xi was indeed here. However, he did not see Ling Yunfan as he had expected.
"Where did you run off to?" Seeing this scene, the intelligent Zi Lian quickly thought back to when Ling Yun Fan had bid his farewell to her at the auction house with a gaze filled with a hint of impatience. Her little heart suddenly started to panic, and although she had already guessed it, she still went up and asked: "Where's Ling Yun, where did he go?"
"He left after coming back with me. He said that he needed to hurry back to the ancestral land for some matters." However, she took out two bottles from her Cosmic Bag and handed them over to Zi Lian. Without waiting for her to ask anything, she opened her mouth first and said, "This is a Heaven's Expanse Essence Pill that Yun Fan concocted temporarily for Martial Aunt. He said that he wanted to help you with your breakthrough in your cultivation."
After receiving the pills, the purple lotus trembled violently as if it had been struck by lightning. After taking in a deep breath, it asked with a complicated expression, "Other than this, did he not say anything?"
"It seems to be gone …" Upon hearing this, Lian Xi shrugged her shoulders and muttered to herself. Then, she thought about what Ling Yunfan had told her before she left, and hurriedly said: "He wanted me to tell Martial Aunt that you do not need to take the bet from before seriously. At that time, it was only because he found it fun to take revenge on you that he took it as the truth."
"Well, that's all right."
Zi Lian was silent for a moment before she passed the words to the two of them. Then, she walked into the secret chamber without turning back.
Seeing that Zi Lian, who was in a bad mood, seemed to be in a bad mood, Nangong Wan'er, who was also a woman, quickly noticed the oddity in the situation. However, as it was difficult to say anything, she could only sigh helplessly in her heart, "Looks like Martial Aunt was really moved.
"There seems to be something wrong with Martial Aunt." As a woman, Nangong Wan'er was able to tell that Lian Xi was different. As for Lian Xi, he simply did not know anything and could only ask his wife beside him.
"Recently, Martial Aunt's mood may be a bit bad. Let's accompany her here for a while." However, Nangong Wan'er did not respond to his question. Instead, she replied mysteriously, then walked to the side to take care of the medicines placed there.
Seeing that she was unable to get an answer, Lian Xi tactfully did not pursue the matter to the end.
"Bastard..." As expected, the moment Zi Lian entered the room, she immediately took up the jade-like moon spirit sword Ling Yun had given her and began to sob. Then, thinking of the look in his eyes before he left, she couldn't help but grumble, "You damned little bastard, why did you insist on intruding my heart, and why did you leave without leaving a single thing behind?"
Then, when she thought back to when she was still at the auction house, Lingyun had a big smile on his face as he gifted her a secret treasure, and her beautiful eyes started to tear up uncontrollably.0
In the past, she had been obsessed with cultivation and had never come into contact with it before. Hence, she had finally met someone who could move her heart, and in the end, that sprout like emotion was suppressed before it could even sprout. This kind of feeling was indeed unbearable for her.
Of course, she was still a mature and beautiful woman. Whether it was in terms of intelligence or other aspects, she far surpassed the juniors. Thus, she only stayed inside for an hour before changing into her original expression and going outside to continue managing her Medicine Fragrance Sect.
