Chapter 55: 055: Crimson Cloud Auction House (5)

    Yue Xuexia was overjoyed to see the Three Millennium Snow Lotus and the Three Jade Bracelet Amulets on the table in front of her after winning the second item of her choice. Normally, the bought item is sent after the auction is over, but in Room #1, the items were delivered first. Taiyang was checking things out with her and saw that everything was good and looked the same as what he had seen before.

    "Not bad. You keep the items in check," Taiyang said.

    Yue Xuexia is too busy evaluating each item, and all item information was placed in front of her. The employees of Crimson Cloud Auction House are the same ones that Taiyang forced to kneel when they heard their unwanted words at the back mountain just now, so they are trembling a little in his presence.

    [Snow Frost Lotus is a semi-sentient being who can understand people''s words but is not unable to speak. Only when it reaches a certain stage will it become a lotus flower fairy. It needs someone to shed blood with her to fully awaken her intelligence.

    Option: It can be enhanced.

    Items needed: Starlight Ore (1), Raw Gemstones (x100), Natal Flame]@@@@

    Despite her assessment talent being at Earth Grade 1, Yue Xuexia finds it hard to accept what she is seeing. Fortunately, only Taiyang and the system are able to see such information.

    [These items aren''t completely useless. Xue''er asks this place if you can buy a Starlight Ore. The Cultivation Sect will definitely have it. [It''s common ore for them to create a sword.]

    "Really?" Yue Xuexia mumbled.

    Taiyang, who heard his main soul''s words, did it for Yue Xuexia. He asked, "Does your auction house possess starlight ore? We want to buy six and add them to the total, and we will pay for everything later."

    "Starlight Ore? Yes, we have some! We will get it ready for the esteemed guests!" The staff of the Auctions House ran off, afraid that they would have to stay in the same room as the dangerous man.

    As soon as the staff left, Yue Xuexia looked at Taiyang and said, "What did you do to make them that scared?"

    "Did you see me do something to them?" Taiyang asked.

    Yue Xuexia was confused. "No, but..."

    "Then there is nothing. Just ignore them. They are not good people anyway," Taiyang said.

    They were waiting for the auction to resume when it seemed as though someone from below wanted to speak with them. Yue Xuexia did not understand what he meant, but she accepted the concept of ignoring them instead.

    "Excuse me, Young Lord, Young Miss. I am Fu Lili of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Please forgive my sudden attempt to start a conversation, but there was something we would like to ask of you."

    Wearing a blue dress robe with an inner white robe, Fu Lili has three sword imprints on her forehead. Her hair is tied up in a ponytail, giving her the appearance of a gentle yet brave swordwoman. Next to her is a middle-aged man with sharp features and a sharp gaze. He stands straight like a stable mountain and appears like a sheath sword in his silence. The last imprint is of a young man with delicate features, innocent eyes and a hint of mischief in the corners of his lips. He does not do anything on his forehead because he has not yet awakened his ant-sword intent.

    "It''s okay. It''s great that she is awake," Mo Jue said.

    Qi Shiru asked, "Eh? Who is she? Is she the famous Senior Sister Bingyu!?"

    When Yue Xuexia suddenly materialized in front of them, they were so overcome with emotion that they were oblivious to her arrival. She sat down at the same level as Fu Lili, who was also crying. When they saw the pair of clear eyes, they were taken aback. Fu Lili tried to compose herself right away, but when she realized there was another person present, she wiped her tears and clasped her hands to properly greet Yue Xuexia. They all stood up and finished exchanging pleasantries.

    "I hope I didn''t scare you, Young Miss. I am Fu Lili. This is my Senior Brother Mo Jue, and this is my Junior Brother Qi Shiru. We came from the same sect. Senior Sister Bingyu also used to be from the same sect."

    "Did you kick her out because she can''t wake up?" Yue Xuexia asked.

    Fu Lili was angered by her words. "Of course not! The whole sect is still finding a way to help Senior Sister wake up. Even though we still haven''t found a way, at the very least I never give up. We are even going to Kunlun just to find a way to wake her up."

    Qi Shiru wanted to defend with his senior sister but was unexpectedly pulled back by his senior brother.

    "Senior Brother, why?!"

    "Look at the corner of the room," Senior Brother Mo Jue whispered.

    Following his brother''s advice, Qi Shiru was startled into a state of fearful submission when he saw Taiyang''s warning, cold gaze directed at him. Taiyang''s eyes glowed a reddish-gold, giving him an uncanny yet incredibly majestic appearance.

    Hiss!

    Taiyang wouldn''t interfere with girls, but the two male disciples are different. If they made a move against his Xue''er, then he doesn''t mind killing them on the spot.

    Fu Lili said, "My lady, I don''t know what your relationship is with Senior Sister Bingyu, but I hope you don''t blame me. I am already doing my best to find a way to save her. Now that she is awake, I can feel relief even if..."

    Fu Lili approached Tan Bingyu, who was cultivating, but she dared not touch her, fearing that she may impair her cultivation; even so, one could see that she is sincerely glad for Tan Bingyu from the kindness and happiness in her eyes. Her words paused, and she bit her lower lip.

    Yue Xuexia, who had been observing Fu Lili''s actions and words ever since she approached her, felt that she had seen enough.

    She then pointed at Qi Shiru and said, "You... stand up and ask the attendants outside to bring me a pail of warm water and a knife. Hurry!"

    Astonished by Taiyang''s sudden display of fear, Qi Shiru quickly fled the room and carried out Yue Xuexia''s instructions. Mo Jue realized something from watching Yue Xuexia in action.

    Mo Jue asked, "Is the Young Lady the one who woke up Junior Sister Bingyu? Are you a Divine Doctor?"

    Fu Lili was startled when she heard what her senior brother had asked. She accidentally met Yue Xuexia''s clear eyes. Yue Xuexia heard his inquiries but didn''t answer and instead focus on the lady not far from her subordinate.

    Yue Xuexia said, "You only have a month left, but you still want to go wherever that ruin thing is. Aren''t you afraid of your heart being eaten while still alive?"

    Her remarks astonished not only Mo Jue, who was taken aback, but also Fu Lili. Qi Shiru, who had just returned, was taken aback as well. After all, he had only gone out to run errands, and now someone was cursing his senior sister to death?

    Bewildered, Mo Jue asked, "What do you mean?"

    "How did you know?" Fu Lili asked in shock.

    Qi Shiru asked in confusion. "What the hell is happening here?"
