Ye Xingchen glanced at Qin Dongxue but remained unmoved. "Big Sister Qin, there are some things that Ling Yun might not be able to tell you in time, or perhaps it's inconvenient for him to do so. This article was written by … However, he stayed with me for a few days a few days ago. During that time, he mentioned to me several times that he wanted me to gather information on the Sky Sword Sect as soon as possible. He said that the first thing he wanted to do after the Devil Subduing Conference was to attack the Sky Sword Sect and rescue Mother from her misery. "
As she spoke, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Ling Yun, who was still standing outside in a daze. She couldn't help but smile.
Then, she turned back and said, "Ling Yun's matters are my matters. If he wants to go to the Sky Sword Sect, I will naturally accompany him. That's why I'm telling you these things in hopes that you can make a decision as soon as possible.
"Big Sister Qin, Xingchen has been spoiled rotten by Master since young. I've always been straightforward and unapologetic. If I've offended you in any way, please punish me, Big Sister."
Qin Dongxue couldn't help but size Ye Xingchen up. She couldn't help but reevaluate Ye Xingchen. She was simply too calm, too straightforward, and too capable. She only cared about Ling Yun and nothing else.
Ling Yun had countless beauties by his side, but none of them could compare to Ye Xingchen.
That was Qin Dongxue's evaluation of Ye Xingchen. She didn't know how far Ye Xingchen and Ling Yun had progressed, but she already had the demeanor of a matriarch.
No pretense, no concealment. She went straight to the point and cut through the Gordian knot.
What a rare and good woman! Outside the door, Ling Yun, who was still playing the role of a wooden sculpture, praised from the bottom of his heart after hearing Ye Xingchen's words. Such a wife is hard to find!
Inside the house, Qin Dongxue pondered for a moment before smiling. "Xingchen, you're asking me to choose between the sect that expelled me and my sister. What do you think I'll choose?"
Ye Xingchen didn't reply and only smiled knowingly. He poured tea for Qin Dongxue again and said softly, "Sister Qin, please have some tea."
Qin Dongxue nodded gently and took a sip of tea. Then, she put the teacup back on the table. Her eyes were suddenly filled with determination, and she said in a deep voice, "Let's not talk about the fact that I've been expelled by the Deity Sword Villa. Even if I, Qin Dongxue, really betrayed the sect, so what? For my sister, so what?"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled at the same time. "When the time comes, let's go together."
At this moment, Ling Yun, who was still playing the role of a wooden sculpture, watched this scene with his divine sense. He couldn't help but admire Ye Xingchen from the bottom of his heart.
This was Ye Xingchen's first conversation with Qin Dongxue, but he had already revealed what Qin Dongxue was most conflicted about. It might seem abrupt, but it only took a few words to pull Qin Dongxue into his trench.
There were so many women around Ling Yun, but none of them had been able to do that!
Qin Dongxue laughed again. "Xingchen, the Devil Subduing Conference in ten days was organized by the martial arts world just for you. To be honest, at that time, I really thought you were a devil who killed without batting an eyelid."
The two of them were now completely tied together. Naturally, there was nothing they couldn't talk about.
Ye Xingchen giggled and said casually, "Indeed, I killed without batting an eyelid. But the people I killed were those who deserved to be killed. Well, they were basically the people who forced my master and Uncle Ling to separate."
Qin Dongxue laughed. "Well done! Those people deserved to be killed! "
The two of them talked about the two cases from twenty years ago in Huaxia. One involved the Qin Family, the other the Ling Family.
The entanglement of fate had been like this since ancient times.
The two beauties chatted away as they drank their tea. Soon, the pot of tea was finished.
"Hey, the wooden block outside the door, are you coming in or not?"
Ye Xingchen suddenly turned her head and shouted at Ling Yun.
Ling Yun flew into the house and said to the two of them with a smile, "You already said it's a wooden block, how can it move? If it moves, wouldn't it become a monster? "
Ye Xingchen rolled her eyes at Ling Yun. "In my opinion, you're not much different from a monster."
Ling Yun puffed out his chest and struck a pose that he thought was cool. "Have you ever seen such a handsome monster?"
Qin Dongxue looked at the two of them bickering. Indeed, she didn't feel sour anymore. Instead, she felt closer.
The three of them continued drinking tea for a while. When it was about time, Ling Yun sent a telepathic message to Tie Xiaohu and Mo Wudao to return. The five of them packed up and went straight to the Ye Family's auction house.
…
Eastern suburbs of Beijing, Longwang Manor.
The Ye Family's ancient martial arts auction was held here.
The time and venue were clearly marked on Ling Yun's VIP invitation. Even the floor was indicated, so it was easy to find.
Moreover, Ling Yun had Ye Xingchen by his side. She was completely familiar with the place.
The mountain village where Ye Xingchen lived was less than ten kilometers away from Longwang Manor. At most, it was a ten-minute drive. They arrived at around 6.30 pm.
Longwang Manor was actually a village ten years ago. After Beijing expanded to the Sixth Ring Road, it naturally became a suburb. However, the degree of prosperity couldn't be compared to the Fifth Ring Road.
Tall buildings rose from flat ground.
It was simply too eye-catching. Ling Yun noticed it as soon as the car drove into Longwang Village. The building was more than twice the height of the surrounding residential buildings. It was brightly lit and splendid. Just by looking at the exterior view, it was very imposing. It was much more luxurious than the five-star hotels in Beijing.
"That's the building. Just drive over. "
Ye Xingchen pointed and explained to everyone with a smile, "This is actually a five-star luxury hotel. It's the property of the Ye Family, but it's never open to the public. Usually, it only receives ancient martial arts practitioners from Huaxia. During the auction, as long as one can pay a hundred million as a deposit, not only will food and accommodation be provided, but the service will also be very thorough. All expenses are waived."
"How extravagant!" Ling Yun couldn't help but sigh.
"They're doing business. Of course, they have to think of ways to attract customers …" Ye Xingchen pouted.
As they spoke, the car arrived at the entrance of the hotel.
"Get out."
Ling Yun was in high spirits as he got out of the car first.
"Sir, are you here to participate in the auction? Did you bring an invitation? "
As soon as Ling Yun got out of the car, a burly man in a black suit walked over. He wasn't old, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. However, Ling Yun could tell that he was an early Xiantian expert. He was probably a loyalist from the Ye Family who was arranged to be here to receive guests.
There were seven or eight such people standing at the entrance of the hotel, and this man was only one of them.
Ling Yun nodded and handed the invitation letter to the other party. Then, he used the Light Assimilation Technique to scan the audience.
Because the auction would start in an hour, there were many people here at this time. Among them were monks, Taoist priests, nuns, swordsmen, men, and women, young and old. They were dressed in all kinds of styles and colors. There was a mix of fish and dragons. Most of them were ancient martial arts cultivators. There were Houtian experts, Xiantian experts, and even quite a few Divine Realm experts.
Moreover, Ling Yun noticed that many people who didn't know martial arts were actually here to participate in the ancient martial arts auction. He guessed that they were here on behalf of someone else or sent by some big family to bid for some urgently needed items.
Ling Yun used his divine sense to scan the area. At this moment, there were already five to six hundred people in the entire building. Moreover, there were many cars nearby that were speeding over from all directions.
"Hiss …"
Ling Yun secretly sucked in a breath of cold air. He thought to himself, No wonder Ye Xingchen said that the Ye Family's ancient martial arts auction was the largest. There were probably thousands of people here!
How many items would be auctioned in such an auction? How long would the auction last?
Because if there weren't enough items, with so many people bidding, wouldn't those items be sold at sky-high prices?
However, these things only occurred to him in a flash. He didn't need to worry about it at all. Everything could be seen slowly.
In his divine sense, Ling Yun still hadn't found Xiao Meimei's figure. It seemed that she hadn't arrived yet.
"What's wrong?"
At this time, Ye Xingchen had already gotten out of the car and stood beside Ling Yun. He didn't know when, but she had covered her face with a veil again. No one could see her face clearly anymore.
"Nothing." Ling Yun smiled lightly. "I just didn't expect there to be so many people. It's practically a grand gathering of ancient martial arts cultivators!"
Ye Xingchen smiled sweetly. "It's a grand gathering to begin with. On average, the Ye Family holds three auctions every year. This is the second one. It's held every year on September 9th. All the top forces in the ancient martial arts world know about it, so it's the largest. "
Ye Xingchen already knew that this was Ling Yun's first time participating in an auction. She patiently explained to him.
"Hello, sir. Your invitation has been registered. Please follow me."
The burly man who took Ling Yun's invitation to register came over again. He carefully handed the invitation back to Ling Yun. The expression on his face was clearly much more respectful than before.
After all, it was an ancient martial arts auction. There were no names on the invitation, only numbers.
Ling Yun took the invitation and looked at the people who were being led to pay the security deposit. He thought to himself that VIPs were indeed different. At least it saved him a lot of trouble.
At this time, Tie Xiaohu had already parked his car and walked back. Thus, Ling Yun called out to the five of them and followed the burly man into the hotel lobby.
"Sir, there's still about an hour before the auction starts. May I know if you'd like to go to your rooms to rest first or head straight to the auction lobby?"
My rooms? Ling Yun thought to himself that food and lodging were indeed provided. However, he still asked, "What do you mean?"
The man replied, "Sir, it's like this. For every guest with a VIP invitation, our auction will provide three rooms for them to rest for free. The rooms are all of the standard of a super five-star presidential suite."
What the f * ck!
Even Ling Yun was shocked to hear that. However, he didn't even think about it before rejecting, "No need, we'll head straight to the auction lobby."
If it was only Ye Xingchen, Ling Yun would definitely choose to rest in his room first. However, Qin Dongxue was also there. Why would he go to her room? Was he looking for trouble?
Another more important reason was that Ling Yun wanted to reach the auction lobby early so that he wouldn't attract too much attention if he went before the auction started.
Ling Yun wanted to observe others by first impressions. Moreover, he really needed to go to the venue first to understand the process of the auction.
"Then please follow me."
The man led Ling Yun and the others straight to the elevator. They took the elevator directly to the thirty-sixth floor.
"Sir, after you exit the elevator, just report your invitation card number. There will be someone to serve you."
"Thank you."
After the elevator door opened again, Ling Yun thanked the man. Then, they walked out of the elevator and arrived at the auction venue.
