“Why did my Yun Lan Sect develop to the point of digging its own grave?” Yun Yun’s breathing hitched, and her gaze became very solemn.
It was known that Chu Xiao would become a Dou Di in the future, ascend to the Great Thousand World, and then become the first person from the Dou Qi Continent to reach the Earthly Sovereign and Heavenly Sovereign levels.
Xiao Yan was the Flame Emperor of the Endless Fire Territory in the Ancient Heavenly Palace, and his strength was definitely stronger than Yao Chen’s, likely also a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign.
So, what would be the fate of the Yun Lan Sect, which could be described as persecuting the Xiao family?
“And this is under the circumstance that I have an ambiguous relationship with Chu Xiao,” Yun Yun thought, half-shameful and half-fearful.
If it weren’t for the constraints of the copy rules and the fear that exposing the fact that she could see the content would lead to unknown changes, she really wanted to rush in front of Chu Xiao immediately, grab his neck, and make him explain things clearly.
Knock!
Knock!
Knock!
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the box door.
“What is it?” Yun Yun, who was lost in thought, frowned and spoke with displeasure, her voice carrying an air of authority.
When she took out the VIP card, she knew the person in charge of the Mittel family in Wu Tan City would come to seek an audience; these merchants were best at seizing opportunities.
But now, influenced by the information about the Yun Lan Sect seeking its own death, she had no mood to see anyone except Chu Xiao.
“This humble girl is Ya Fei, the person in charge of the Mittel family’s auction house in Wu Tan City.
I request an audience with the honored guest.” A mature woman’s slightly seductive voice came from outside the door.
“Who did you say you are!?” Yun Yun’s chest heaved slightly.
She originally wanted to find a random excuse to refuse the meeting, but the woman’s name made her change her mind instantly.
The person in charge of the Mittel Auction House in Wu Tan City, and the name is Ya Fei—could it be the same person?
“This humble girl—huh?” Outside the VIP room door, Ya Fei was about to answer when she saw an ancient journal appear out of thin air before her.
[Chu Xiao’s Journal (Ya Fei’s Exclusive Copy)] “Chu Xiao?” Seeing the characters on the cover of the book, the handsome face of a man immediately appeared in Ya Fei’s mind.
Not long ago, she was dining on the second floor of a restaurant in the Xiao family marketplace and happened to witness the entire process of Chu Xiao teaching Jia Lie Ao a lesson.
She had also obtained the news of Chu Xiao breaking through to Dou Shi at the first opportunity and had been shocked by it.
It should be noted that her most frantic pursuer in the capital, Mu Zhan, had only just reached Dou Shi at the age of eighteen.
But Mu Zhan was the son of the head of the Mu family, a Dou Wang clan; the family cultivation method he practiced was High-level Mystery-rank, and he had countless resources at his disposal.
By comparison, Chu Xiao was just an outside-surname young master of the Xiao family, a Da Dou Shi clan; the rank of the cultivation method he could practice wouldn’t be very high, and his available resources were limited.
This was enough to show that in terms of talent and effort alone, Chu Xiao was above Mu Zhan.
“Chu Xiao’s journal, exclusive to me…” Ya Fei felt that someone was playing a prank on her, but she still reached out to catch the ancient tome.
In the next instant, a stream of information poured in, making her beautiful eyes grow increasingly bright.
“Rules for the Copy Owner…
one, two, three, four…
obtain benefits…” “Could this be some kind of fortuitous encounter?” Thinking of her own frustrating cultivation talent, Ya Fei, driven by curiosity, was about to flip open the copy.
But at this moment, Yun Yun’s authoritative voice came from inside the room again: “Who is at the door?” Ya Fei then remembered she was here for business and said, “This humble girl is Ya Fei, requesting to see the honored guest.” In her heart, however, she hoped the person inside would refuse so she could return to her room and see what was written in the journal, and if it was written by the Chu Xiao she knew.
But sometimes, things always develop in directions one doesn’t want.
“It really is Ya Fei.” Yun Yun changed her sitting posture and raised her hand toward the door.
Vacuum Palm!
Vast wind-attribute Dou Qi surged out, turning into a visible hurricane that sucked open the lock on the door several yards away.
“This Dou Technique is actually quite useful; as expected of something an Alchemist thought of.” Yun Yun pursed her pink lips and spoke slowly: “The door is unlocked, come in.” Ya Fei sighed inwardly, preparing to put the journal copy into her storage ring, only to see it turn into a streak of light and enter her brow.
“It went in?” Ya Fei was startled.
“Truly miraculous.” Restraining the urge to check the journal immediately, Ya Fei pushed open the door and walked in.
“What a peerless beauty.” Yun Yun’s eyes lit up.
Ya Fei wore a tight-fitting black brocade robe with gold silk edging.
A silver belt was tied around her slender waist, perfectly highlighting her curvaceous figure.
A section of snow-white, dazzling long leg peeked out from beneath the robe, adding a touch of allure and making her charm even more evident as she walked.
Her skin was whiter than snow, and her glamorous lips made her look like a blooming rose; her entire being exuded a sense of seductive enchantment.
Even as a woman herself, Yun Yun wanted to call Ya Fei a “temptress.” While Yun Yun was observing Ya Fei, Ya Fei was also observing her, a flash of amazement in her eyes.
The woman’s face was serene and peerlessly beautiful, and her lively eyes were like a clear spring in a secluded mountain.
She wore a purple-gold edged pink tight-fitting brocade robe, and her long black hair was tied into the shape of a crying phoenix.
Her entire person possessed an indescribable nobility.
Setting aside her looks, that aura was what Ya Fei craved and wanted to possess most.
It was the bearing that only someone in a high position with absolute confidence in her own strength could have.
“Yun Yun!?” Just after marvelling at the woman’s appearance and temperament, Ya Fei recognized her identity.
Having grown up in the Mittel family, with parents who were once core members, and being very talented in the way of business, she had been fortunate enough to see Yun Yun a few times.
Within this Jia Ma Empire, there were not many people Ya Fei envied, but Yun Yun was someone she admired.
“Ya Fei greets Sect Leader Yun Yun.” Ya Fei took elegant steps to the front of Yun Yun and offered a slight bow.
Learning that an important figure had arrived, she came to visit immediately.
But she had never imagined that this figure could be this great.
Why did Yun Yun come to this tiny Wu Tan City?
Could it be for the sake of her disciple’s marriage annulment?
“You have seen me before?” Yun Yun asked knowingly.
Within the borders of the Jia Ma Empire, ninety-nine percent of people should have heard the great name of Yun Yun, the Sect Leader of the Yun Lan Sect, but not many had seen her.
For Ya Fei to recognize her at a glance, she had clearly seen her before.
“I used to live in the capital and was fortunate enough to see you once,” Ya Fei replied somewhat cautiously.
“What is your business with me?” Yun Yun observed Ya Fei imperturbably.
She herself had an ambiguous relationship with Chu Xiao, yet the fate of the Yun Lan Sect was not very good.
By comparison, Ya Fei seemed to be just a subordinate of Chu Xiao, who had “lain down” and been carried all the way to ascending to the Great Thousand World because of the favor of protection.
She was simply Ya Fei’s contrast, a background character.
“Hearing from the maid that an honored guest had arrived, Ya Fei naturally had to come to perform the duties of a host.” Yun Yun’s gaze made Ya Fei feel pressured, and the smile on her face was forced.
“Wu Tan City has some local specialties; I’ve had someone bring a portion of each.” “A maid has been arranged at the door at all times.
If Sect Leader Yun Yun has any needs, please feel free to give orders.” “The Mittel Auction House will definitely provide the utmost attention to make you feel at home.” “…” Looking at her somewhat embarrassed appearance, Yun Yun suddenly lost interest.
No matter what the original future was like, at this moment she was a Dou Huang expert, while Ya Fei was just a tiny Dou Zhe arranged by the Mittel family to be the person in charge of the Wu Tan City auction house.
The difference in their status and strength was too great.
What conversation could they have?
It was just satisfying her curiosity.
“I will be staying here for a period of time; the exact length is not yet determined.” Yun Yun closed her eyes and spoke indifferently: “Aside from having three meals a day sent here, do not let anyone disturb me if there is nothing important.” “Yes.” Ya Fei tactfully withdrew, with quite a sense of fleeing in panic.
However, as she turned around, her gaze was attracted by the ancient journal on the table in front of Yun Yun.
[Chu Xiao’s Journal (Yun Yun’s Exclusive Copy)] Yun Yun actually had this miraculous journal copy too.
“Could it be that this is the reason she came to Wu Tan City?” (END CHAPTER) CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Blue_Silver1 Thank you for the support, friends.
