Chapter 101: 101: Back to Crimson Cloud Auction Hall (2)

    Near the entrance of the Crimson Cloud Auction Hall, the Second Elder, Yun Siyan, wanted to personally send off the Sect Leader of his Sect. Though he and Xiao Lixin no longer have any attachment to the Crimson Cloud Sect after what happened to Lin Chiyu, they still choose not to cut off their connection to them. After all, most of the items they are auctioning on this mountain were made by the disciples of the Crimson Cloud Sect. Until they find a new supplier of items, the three of them cannot break off with this sect.

    Sect Master Xiao noticed the entrance not far from where they were and said, "Here is enough. You guys still need to entertain Elder Kun. Do your best. The business relationship between our two sects must remain."

    "I understand, Sect Master," Second Elder Yun Siyan said.

    On Sect Master Xiao''s way out of the hall, he unexpectedly bumped into Yue Xuexia''s group of four. This time they brought out the winged black tiger cub with the king''s bloodline, called Yue, with them. Of course, it was told to pretend to be an ordinary cat.

    Yue Xuexia, carrying Yue in her arms, noticed the focused gaze on her. It was different from his usual adoring or lustful gaze. Just a curious gaze, wanting to see through her. It made her uncomfortable enough that she turned to meet those eyes and saw an old man wearing cultivation clothes she saw in the sky.

    Despite seeing someone fly, Yue Xuexia''s eyes remained calm. She only needs one glance to ease her curiosity and move her gaze away as she walks inside the hall. Taiyang completely ignores the sect. Master in the sky, as he is far too weak in his eyes. He is no different from a flying ant in his eyes.

    As for Tan Bingyu, she directly exchanged eyes with the old man. After all, he is an old acquaintance. She''s one of the people who ignores the pleas for help from her father in an attempt to wake her up.

    Yue Xuexia said, "Sister Bingyu, let''s go in."

    "Yes, Mistress," said Tan Bingyu as she followed the two inside.

    Yue whispered to his master, "Mama, is that human annoying you? I can kill him for Mama."

    Stunned, "Brat, who are you calling Mama!?" said Taiyang.

    "Mama is Mama. You are a bad person who wants to cook Yue!"

    Taiyang grabbed the tiger cub from Yue Xuexia''s arm and glared at each other. Upon seeing the two bickering again, Yue Xuexia can only sigh at the scene. While the two were glaring at each other, Sect. Master Xiao was dumbfounded when he saw the face of Yue Xuexia.

    He mumbled while in the sky, "A resemblance? Or a coincidence? This is impossible. No, it is not. I heard that he had made some mistake once when he was in the mortal realm. But this is a nice surprise indeed."

    Sect Master Xiao decided to leave the mortal realm. After bringing out a white stone, he crashed it and disappeared on the spot. In reality, he left the mortal realm and returned to the cultivation world. As for those who are inside the hall, Second Elder Yun and Lin Chiyu welcomed the arrival of the Divine Doctor and her group.

    Lin Chiyu now politely greeted Yue Xuexia, as it was thanks to her that he was fully healed.

    "Welcome to our humble hall, Divine Doctor. Please let me give my thanks for helping me with my poison. As a promise, we shall give you whatever you want. Please follow us to the pavilion for a while," said Lin Chiyu.

    The Second Elder, Yun Siyan, recalled that Elder Kun from the Starfield Sect was still at the pavilion with the First Elder.

    "Not in the pavilion. There is another guest from the Starfield Sect that hasn''t left yet. We can move to the Cherry Blossom Pavilion," the Second Elder whispered to his disciple.

    Lin Chiyu said, "There is no need for that, Master. That guest actually requested to meet the Divine Doctor as well."

    "Is that so? He will have to wait until after I check on your situation. Let''s go," said Yue Xuexia.

    Lin Chiyu said, "Please follow me this way."

    ---

    At the Plum Pavilion...

    The arrival of the group led by Lin Chiyu was seen by the First Elder and Elder Kun. They looked at the entrance, seeing not only Lin Chiyu and the Second Elder returning but also the group of three led by Yue Xuexia. Elder Kun discreetly glanced at the entrance and was stunned when he saw Yue Xuexia''s appearance. The teacup in his hand fell on him.

    Clang!

    The First Elder said, "What is wrong with you? Look at your clothes. Don''t let yourself look disgraceful in front of the Divine Doctoress."

    Elder Kun panicked for a moment and immediately made himself more presentable than before. He even uses his qi to cleanse and dry himself. The moment the group approached the pavilion, Lin Chiyu saluted his first master and the esteemed guest, Elder Kun.

    Lin Chiyu said, "Master, the Divine Doctor, Lord Taiyang, and the Tan Princess had arrived."

    "Welcome, Divine Doctoress, Lord, Princess Tan," said First Elder Xiao.

    Elder Kun spoke, "A pleasure to meet you, Divine Doctoress." He only greeted Yue Xuexia as if he only had his eyes on this doctor.

    The First Elder and Elder Kun had welcomed Yue Xuexia and her group. Elder Xiao Lixin''s respect for Yue Xuexia is all thanks to her saving their beloved disciple, but who would have expected that Elder Kun, one of the famous elders of the Starfield Sect, would bow his head towards Yue Xuexia? His action had left Lin Chiyu, First Elder Xiao, and Second Elder Yun dumbfounded.

    This greeting from Elder Kun not only annoyed Taiyang but also made Tan Bingyu so guarded that she suddenly stood before Yue Xuexia and Taiyang.

    First Elder Xiao spoke, "What are you doing, Elder Kun?!" He got more nervous as he saw that the expression of Taiyang, who was standing beside the Divine Doctor, got colder the more seconds passed.

    Yue Xuexia patted Taiyang''s arm and said, "His intentions are not bad. Don''t kill him, Yangyang."

    Snort!

    This mere snort was enough to pressure Elder Kun down to his knee. He fell to the ground on his knees, powerless and shocked. This time, except for Yue Xuexia, Tan Bingyu and Yue were spared.

    Taiyang said, "A mere bastard that can''t even reach the Innateness Stage dares to look at Xue''er. Next time, this deity is going to dig your eyes out!"

    This threat made almost everyone tremble, except for the tiger cub and Yue Xuexia. Even Tan Bingyu felt that this threat was not a joke, as this young man would truly dig into this old man''s eyes. She couldn''t help but feel fear in her heart, making her tense at this moment.

    First Elder Xiao said, "Lord, please. We have nothing to do with him. We don''t know if he would do such a thing. Please spare us."

    Sigh~

    "Yangyang, your lunch is gone now," said Yue Xuexia, which immediately removed the pressure on Elder Kun and others.

    Taiyang instantly turned his head to look at Yue Xuexia and said, "Xue''er, you are joking, aren''t you?"

    "Do you want to lose your dinner too?" said Yue Xuexia.

    Once Taiyang noticed that Yue Xuexia had lost her smile, he finally realized that he had overdone it. His serious expression disappeared, and he looked flustered as he moved around Yue Xuexia.

    Taiyang said, "I''ll stop, okay? Don''t get angry at me, Xue''er. I''m sorry."

    A smile appeared on Yue Xuexia''s face as she heard Taiyang''s apology, "Okay, I forgive you." Only when Taiyang saw Yue Xuexia''s smile did he finally feel relief.

    Yue Xuexia looked at Lin Chiyu and others, but the smile she shows for Taiyang and those on her side cannot be freely given to them. After all, for her, they are just strangers who can get acquainted with her.

    "Forgive, Yangyang. He is usually short-tempered when hungry. I suggest you send in the food for him. Elder, you can stand up. I don''t know why you are treating me like this, but unfortunately, this is my first time seeing you. Please don''t take such actions next time; the people on my side would not take it well," Yue Xuexia said.

    Elder Kun weakly stood up and said, "I apologize. It''s just that Miss''s appearance is too similar to someone I know."

    "If you are talking about people from this mortal realm, then it''s normal. You might have met my family or a relative of mine," said Yue Xuexia.

    Elder Kun said, "No. It is someone from the cultivation realm."

    Silence~

    At these words, not only Yue Xuexia but even the others were dumbfounded. But Yue Xuexia immediately denied this possibility.

    Yue Xuexia said, "Not possible. I am a mortal right from the day I was born, and my parents, including all my relatives, are all mortals. You must have mistaken me for someone else."

    "Yes, maybe that really is. As an apology, please accept this token. This is Starfield Sect''s Great Elder''s token, and with it, you will be able to ask for Star Divination free of charge. I hope you and the lord beside you will accept my apology," said Elder Kun.

    When the token from the Starfield Sect arrives, the more shocked the people from the Crimson Cloud Auction Hall are. They recognized that the token that was given to Yue Xuexia was not an ordinary token but a personal token from the Great Elder of the Starfield Sect. With it, one will be able to meet the higher-ups from the Starfield Sect. Taiyang gestured to Tan Bingyu to accept the token. Star Divination is rare, even in the immortal realm.

    After the apology gift was taken, Elder Kun excused himself. Lin Chiyu sent a disciple to send the elder to the guest room to rest. Obviously, he was injured by the aura of coercion from Taiyang.

    Yue Xuexia instantly moved away from this event and glanced at Lin Chiyu. The departure of Elder Kun didn''t affect her much, like how the old man''s words were worth nothing in her eyes.

    Walking towards the pavilion and taking her seat, she said, "It seems you have followed my prescription well. The poison is almost out. Give me your hand for me to check your pulse. It is too late to check if there are still some traces of poison in your body," said Yue Xuexia to Lin Chiyu.

    Lin Chiyu was startled and heard the Divine Doctor''s words. He immediately followed her to the pavilion and extended his hand for pulse checking. Yue Xuexia too caught Lin Chiyu''s pulse, and the rest waited for a while until her extended hand was pulled back.

    Second Elder Yun asked, "How is it, Divine Doctor?"

    "The poison on his body is detoxified, and it has also given him a strong resistance to poison. Unless he was poisoned with something stronger than what he got before, most poison will be useless against him. There are still some traces hidden in the crevices of his internal organs. A single session of acupuncture will be enough to remove them. Undress your upper robe and turn around. You will have to puke out the rest of the poison," said Yue Xuexia.

    Lin Chiyu was stunned but still responded with a bit of a pink touch on his cheek. "Y-Yeah, I''m sorry!"

    He did as he was told, removing only the robe on his upper body. With his muscles on the back exposed, Yue Xuexia''s cold look remains calm and composed. She brought out her golden dragon needles, which flew out of her hand as if they were alive. After a bit, her qi entered Lin Chiyu''s body using the needles. The poison was pushed out of Lin Chiyu''s body, and he only needs to puke it out.

    Cough. COUGH!

    Black blood comes out of Lin Chiyu''s body; the black blood melts the solid ground it fell into, showing how potent the poison in Lin Chiyu''s body is. His masters frowned at how strong the poison from their disciple''s bodies was. This shows how much the Evil Gu Sect wanted to kill him.
