h4Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Forget Me in the End/h4

The auction begins in the evening.

Though Tongtian Pavilion doesn’t belong to the Lou Family, given the family’s status in the Cultivation World, Tongtian Pavilion certainly wouldn’t dare show any negligence.

They respectfully escorted Xiao Jinsheng and her group into the top floor suite.

Xiao Jinsheng was looking at the auction list when Lou Yan Zhi handed her a cup of Spiritual Tea andughed, "Just take a look, circle anything you like, and Lou Yanjin will arrange for it to be bid on."

"Okay, but I have my own treasures." Xiao Jinsheng said, taking out her valuable resources from the Realm: "I don’t have Spirit Stones, can I use these for exchange?"

"Since you’re here looking for me, there’s no reason to make you pay by yourself." Lou Yan Zhiughed and pushed the pearls and gems she offered back to her.

"I have something to attend to now, I’ll be back shortly." Lou Yan Zhi said with a smile and got up.

Seeing him leave midway, Xiao Jinsheng nodded, her gaze lingering on the itembeled Parasol Wood in the auction catalog.

She wasn’t particrly interested in the other treasures.

Only this piece of Parasol Wood, she had to obtain it.

"Brother, I’ve got the Parasol Wood." Lou Yan Zhi went downstairs and saw Lou Yanjin holding a box, running to him to im credit.

"That Parasol Wood cost me fifty million top-grade Spirit Stones; the owner would only agree to sell it to me directly." Lou Yanjinined to Lou Yan Zhi: "When we get home, you have to repay me those Spirit Stones."

"I can give you one of my Spirit Stone Veins." Lou Yan Zhi replied as he epted the wooden box.

"Really!" Lou Yanjin’s eyes gleamed with excitement but then hesitated, "Actually, you don’t have to give me that much, hehehe."

"Don’t want it?" Lou Yan Zhi raised his brow, "Then forget it, no need to pay back the fifty million either."

"Are you still my brother?" Lou Yanjin looked shocked, "Howe you’ve be so stingy after not seeing you for a few years."

"Don’t want to bother with you." Lou Yan Zhi scoffed.

He casually waved his hand, setting up ayer of barrier.

Then opened the wooden box he was holding.

Inside was a small segment of golden-yellow twig, sprouting orange-red buds.

"This doesn’t look like any treasure, clearly it wouldn’t cost that many Spirit Stones if auctioned; yet you went ahead, broke the rules, and forcefully bought it before the auction, spending extra millions." Lou Yanjinined.

"Indeed, it doesn’t look like a treasure." Lou Yan Zhi nodded, and as he finished, he ced a Talisman between his fingers.

The Parasol Wood burned under the mes, the golden twig turning bright red.

"You! What are you doing!" Lou Yanjin reached out to try and save it, "This was bought for fifty million!"

"Yes, fifty million burned away." Lou Yan Zhi seemed indifferent.

Lou Yanjin stared nkly at Lou Yan Zhi, unable to respond for a moment, and Lou Yan Zhi stuffed the empty box that had held the Parasol Wood back into his arms, "Forter at the auction, I need to see Parasol Wood."

"The Parasol Wood is burned and gone, where am I supposed to find more?" Lou Yanjin exploded: "Are you out of your mind?"

"Are you going or not?" Lou Yan Zhi’s gaze eerily fell on Lou Yanjin.

Lou Yanjin shivered, his lipspressed as if to cry but couldn’t: "Thank you then, you truly are my brother."

"Wasting Spirit Stones, yet I have to clean up the mess." Lou Yanjin muttered while holding the empty box, turning to leave, only to be pulled back by Lou Yan Zhi.

"What do you want now." Lou Yanjin returned with helplessness, only to see Lou Yan Zhi smiling with a ’hush’: "You must know what to say and what not to..."

"I’m mute." Lou Yanjin answered skillfully.

He sighed and epted his fate, holding the empty box toplete the task.

"Brother, it’s fake, right." All the while going downstairs, Lou Yanjin kept mumblingints.

Xiao Jinsheng was still looking at the auction booklet when she noticed Lou Yan Zhi return quickly.

He entered with a smile, casually walking over to Xiao Jinsheng, taking a seat beside her, leaning his head closer: "Anything you fancy?"

"No, I just want this." Xiao Jinsheng shook her head, indicating the Parasol Wood in the booklet again.

"The Parasol Wood isn’t priced high, these people don’t know its use, so our chances of getting it are quite good." Lou Yan Zhi replied with a smile.

After saying this, he leaned back in his chair and looked sideways at Xiao Jinsheng: "Don’t worry, no matter how many Spirit Stones it costs, I’ll get the Parasol Wood."

"I recall someone was so poor in the Interster World, eating in white mantou." Xiao Jinsheng teased.

"That was in the Interster World." Lou Yan Zhi sighed pitifully and lowered his head: "Out and about, didn’t bring enough money."

"But it’s different in the Cultivation World, I have over a hundred Spirit Vein Mines."

"Huh?" Xiao Jinsheng was shocked.

"What! Over a hundred Spirit Vein Mines?" Caicai, who was eating an Immortal Fruit nearby, was the first to rush over, smiling ingratiatingly at Lou Yan Zhi, "Hehe, former Host~"

"What is it?" Lou Yan Zhiughed, looking at the diligent Caicai.

Caicai rubbed its hands like a fly in front of him, finally reaching out to Lou Yan Zhi: "I’ve been a bit tighttely, can you lend me some?"

"Points? I don’t have any." Lou Yan Zhi feigned ignorance.

"Not points!" Caicai hurriedly pulled out a Spirit Stone from its money pouch: "Lend me some Spirit Stones to spend."

"Okay." Lou Yan Zhi agreed amiably.

He casually handed Caicai a Jade Token: "With this Jade Token, you can withdraw ten million top-grade Spirit Stones at Tongtian Pavilion."

"Really lending me?" Caicai was full of surprise.

To be honest, finding Lou Yan Zhi to borrow Spirit Stones this time.

It thought of how it hadn’t repaid its previous debt of borrowed points.

It never imagined Lou Yan Zhi would lend it; way more generously than lending it points.

"I’ll use it first and pay you back when I have it." Caicai tucked the Jade Token into its money pouch, smiling sneakily.

"Whatever." Lou Yan Zhi respondedzily.

Seeing Lou Yan Zhi so easygoing.

Caicai pushed its luck, reaching out again: "Then lend me some more."

"How long are you in the Cultivation World, can you spend it all?" Lou Yan Zhi asked even as he tossed another Jade Token to Caicai.

"I’ll return them when I go back to Mist Continent with the Host." Caicai held the two Jade Tokens contentedly.

These two Jade Tokens equated to twenty million Spirit Stones.

It wouldn’t spend them.

It would just hold and touch them for pleasure.

"This is for you." Lou Yan Zhi pulled out a piece of Golden Warm Jade and handed it to Xiao Jinsheng.

Seeing Xiao Jinsheng didn’t ept it, he exined, "The Secret Realm opens in a few days, and you don’t have any Spirit Stones, you can use this for now."

"Then I’ll exchange it with you for something." Xiao Jinsheng said as she started searching for treasures in the Realm: "You’re likely to remain in the Cultivation World, so resources from the Interster World will be fewer, how about I give you supplies from the Interster World?"

"Xiao Jinsheng..." Lou Yan Zhi still held the Golden Warm Jade in front of Xiao Jinsheng, his brows furrowing, his tone irritable: "Do you really have to be so courteous to me?"

"Aren’t we considered friends?" Lou Yan Zhi asked.

"This is your first time in the Cultivation World, and as an original resident of the Cultivation World, isn’t it natural for me to entertain you?"

"Just like when I’m in the Mist Continent, you entertain me."

"But in the Mist Continent, you pay for food and lodging yourself." Xiao Jinsheng replied.

As she spoke, her gaze fell onto the cold coloration on Lou Yan Zhi’s face: "Aren’t cultivators supposed to avoid touching cause and effect? We might not meet again, so I thought..."

"Thought best not to consider me a friend anymore, no need to be friends anymore, and just end it there." Lou Yan Zhi solemnly interrupted: "Forget about me in the end, is that right?"
