"Master, what's the matter?" The azure-dressed girl sensed the middle-aged man's change in expression. As she asked, she traced the middle-aged man's gaze.
However, her line of sight was blocked by a person. He came forward and said, "The two of you must be Senior Jian Wufeng and Fairy Jian Xiaoshuang from the Clarity Pool Sword Sect, right? I've long heard of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect and the two of you. I finally get to meet you today. "
Jian Xiaoshuang's expression was cold. "Who are you?"
"I'm Yan Tiancong from Jade Luster City's Heaven Amplification Trading Company." Yan Tiancong cupped his fists and bowed with a look of respect and admiration.
He looked up at the master and disciple duo in front of him as a smile suffused across his lips.
Although he had just been humiliated at the Divine Secrets Trading Company, Yan Tiancong would not allow himself to be influenced by Ji Shuiyan and Yi Yun to foil his plans.
The Treasure Seekers Meet had attracted many major factions. It was an opportunity for the Heaven Amplification Trading Company to expand their connections and curry favor with these factions. Once they managed to form a relationship with one of these factions, the expansion of the Heaven Amplification Trading Company would only be a matter of time.
Wasn't the reason why the Divine Secrets Trading Company had suddenly regained a sliver of vitality from its tottering state because it had found Yi Yun as its backer?
However, compared to a mysterious sect like the Clarity Pool Sword Sect, Yi Yun was nothing.
Yi Yun was probably an itinerant warrior who might have found some mystic realm that gave him his present strength. Compared to the major factions that had come to the Seven Star Auction House today, he was nothing worth mentioning.
As for the Clarity Pool Sword Sect, it was famous. Although it did not have much territory, it was an extremely special sect. The sect had very few members. It was said that there were only about a hundred disciples and Elders. However, their standards for recruiting disciples were extremely stringent. Ordinary people could forget about catching the eye of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect.
The Clarity Pool Sword Sect's heritage was impressive. In addition to the outstanding talent of the sect's disciples, all of them were dragons and phoenixes among men.
Few of their disciples were qualified to leave the sect. However, the moment someone did, it would be a flash of light that would quickly make a name for themselves.
Furthermore, the Clarity Pool Sword Sect was extremely united with strict rules. If a Clarity Pool Sword Sect disciple was killed and the disciple deserved it, not only would the Clarity Pool Sword Sect not seek revenge, they would even expel the dead disciple from the sect.
However, if that disciple had been killed by someone, the Clarity Pool Sword Sect would definitely not let the matter rest. There would definitely be Clarity Pool Sword Sect disciples that came knocking on the door, demanding an eye for an eye.
It was also because of this that few factions dared to offend the Clarity Pool Sword Sect.
And the middle-aged man in front of him was none other than the sect master of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect — Jian Wufeng. He had made a name for himself a long time ago. His sword had tasted the blood of countless people, making it a chilling sight.
Yan Tiancong was well-informed, so he naturally knew about such a force.
As for Jian Xiaoshuang, she was the successor of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect that had appeared. Despite her young age, she was already famous in the Sun Burial Sandsea.
Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, Jian Xiaoshuang was not only stunningly talented, her looks were also outstanding. She had a cold demeanor that was very captivating.
"Heaven Amplification Trading Company?" Jian Xiaoshuang glanced at Yan Tiancong. She had never heard of the Heaven Amplification Trading Company or Yan Tiancong.
"Yes, I and the Heaven Amplification Trading Company have quite a bit of influence in Jade Luster City. Fairy Xiaoshuang and Senior Wufeng will be in Jade Luster City for the next few days. If there's anything you need, I'm willing to do my best. Fairy Xiaoshuang and Senior Wufeng, please do me the honor of being a good host, "said Yan Tiancong hurriedly.
"There's no need." Jian Xiaoshuang could not even be bothered to brush him off. She did not even know him. What honor of being a good host … did it have anything to do with her?
A look of disappointment flashed in Yan Tiancong's eyes but he quickly recovered. He was already mentally prepared when he came to greet them. He had long heard that the people from the Clarity Pool Sword Sect were extremely aloof and difficult to interact with. But it was precisely because of this that he could truly intimidate others if he managed to establish a relationship with them.
Furthermore, Yan Tiancong felt that there was nothing wrong with giving it a try. Even if it made them familiar, it was good enough.
"Since Fairy Xiaoshuang does not like to be disturbed, I apologize for being rude. However, my Heaven Amplification Trading Company does know some information regarding the phenomenon in Sun Burial Sandsea. I can provide it to the both of you." Although Jian Xiaoshuang's attitude was cold and Jian Wufeng completely ignored him, Yan Tiancong did not feel embarrassed at all. He could still use the phenomenon in Sun Burial Sandsea to strike up a conversation.
But even so, Jian Xiaoshuang clearly showed no interest. All she did was listen to his every word. At that moment, she suddenly realized that Jian Wufeng was looking in the same direction as before.
"Master?" asked Jian Xiaoshuang.
Yan Tiancong was trying to find something to say when he heard Jian Xiaoshuang suddenly interrupt him. He immediately smiled and shut his mouth.
If it were anyone else, he would have long been displeased. However, it was normal for people from the Clarity Pool Sword Sect to behave in such a manner.
If they treated him like this, they would treat others the same way.
"I'm going to greet that person," said Jian Wufeng suddenly.
"Master, you have a friend here?" Jian Xiaoshuang was slightly taken aback.
They did not recall any acquaintances coming to Jade Luster City.
If they were enemies, that was more like it. However, if they were her master's enemies, there was no need to greet them.
Yan Tiancong was taken aback as well. Jian Wufeng had an acquaintance here?
"Then, I'll go as well." Jian Xiaoshuang was truly curious. Although she was known as the Little Sword Immortal and was extremely cold and arrogant to people she did not know, she was actually a very frank person.
As he spoke, Jian Wufeng had already strode out of the pavilion.
Jian Xiaoshuang followed him and suddenly thought of something. She looked at Yan Tiancong and said nonchalantly, "My master has seen an acquaintance. He can't speak to you. Go back."
"Since it's Senior Wufeng's acquaintance, it must be a mighty senior. I wouldn't dare disturb you. I'll come back in a while to introduce Fairy Xiaoshuang to some of the delicacies of Jade Luster City in detail," said Yan Tiancong respectfully.
He moved to the side and watched Jian Xiaoshuang walk past him. He looked at their backs.
Yan Tiancong wanted to know what sort of person could make Jian Wufeng personally greet them. He had to curry favor with such a person.
At that moment, he saw Jian Wufeng and Jian Xiaoshuang walk past the lotus pond one after another towards the pavilion on the opposite side.
Then … they walked into the Divine Secrets Trading Company's pavilion.
Yan Tiancong was instantly dumbfounded.
Jian Wufeng's acquaintance was from the Divine Secrets Trading Company?
Yan Tiancong's heart immediately turned cold, as though he was facing an abyss. He stared unblinkingly at the pavilion, wishing that he could be there at that very moment.
At that moment, Jian Xiaoshuang was somewhat puzzled. She had followed her master into the pavilion. The couple in the pavilion did not look eye-catching. The woman's cultivation level was relatively weak, so it was unlikely that her master knew her. As for the other person … Jian Xiaoshuang looked at Yi Yun. She could not tell the man's cultivation level but he did not seem very strong either. This piqued her interest.
However, the man looked young and likely had a cultivation technique that hid his cultivation level. Why would her master know such a young warrior?
"Young friends, is there anyone here? My disciple and I are here to have a cup of tea. "The moment Jian Wufeng spoke, Jian Xiaoshuang's expression immediately turned extremely odd.
From her master's opening remarks, it seemed like he did not know the duo? With her master's personality, why would he take the initiative to befriend two people he did not know?
Ji Shuiyan looked at the person in front of her in astonishment. She could sense that the girl's aura was extremely sharp. As for the middle-aged man in front of her, she could not tell his cultivation level at all. She felt that his every word and action seemed to fuse with his surroundings. He was unfathomable.
Seeing that he did not seem to have any ill intentions, Ji Shuiyan did not say a word. She left everything to Yi Yun.
Yi Yun stood up and cupped his fists. "Please have a seat."
Jian Wufeng sat down by the table and glanced at Yi Yun. He said, "I have yet to introduce myself. I am the Clarity Pool Sword Sect's Jian Wufeng. "
Jian Xiaoshuang's expression turned increasingly odd as she said, "Clarity Pool Sword Sect's Jian Xiaoshuang."
"Yi Yun," said Yi Yun.
Yi Yun appeared nonchalant, but Ji Shuiyan's heart was stirring tempestuous waves.
It was the Clarity Pool Sword Sect! She had heard of the famous sect before. The Divine Secrets Trading Company was small and insignificant. Why would the Clarity Pool Sword Sect master and his disciple come personally to have tea and chat with them?
And on the opposite side of the lotus pond, Yan Tiancong's eyes were hurting from watching. He had tried to curry favor with Jian Wufeng but failed to receive a favorable response. Now, Jian Wufeng and his disciple had gone to the Divine Secrets Trading Company's pavilion and sat down.
Jian Wufeng's eyes flashed slightly. Yi Yun … was a name he had never heard before.
"My young friend, Yi Yun, do you have a sect?" Jian Wufeng followed up with a question.
"I have no sect, only a master," said Yi Yun.
Although Felicitous Rain Lord was far away in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, he was still Yi Yun's master. As for Felicitous Rain Lord, he did not establish a sect.
Upon hearing their conversation, Jian Xiaoshuang looked at Yi Yun before looking at her master.
What was going on? Could it be that her master had the thought of taking in a disciple after seeing the warrior's amazing physique? That can't be. For tens of thousands of years, he had only had one disciple …
Jian Wufeng pondered for a moment. He sat opposite Yi Yun and could sense Yi Yun's aura more clearly.
Pure Yang flames seemed to burn within Yi Yun's body. The more he sensed the familiar aura, the more puzzled he became …
Jian Wufeng said, "I wonder who your master is. Can you tell me?"
