As if he'd noticed everyone's bewilderment, Nie Yuan said once more, "Everyone, there's something you don't know, but the sword of the Sword Sect's Ninth Peak's Sword Son is none other than the sword sect that handed it over to Border Dragon City to be auctioned off."
"Don't tell me that the people from the Sword Sect's First Peak gave it to you?" Fu Qiuchan's eyes flickered, and she instantly guessed the inside story.
After all, the Sword Sect's First Peak and Ninth Peak had never been on good terms. Now that Ye Wushuang had challenged Su Qilin, the two peaks were like fire and water. Only someone from the First Peak could auction someone else's sword.
"Miss Fu is indeed intelligent!"
Nie Yuan glanced at her as if he was praising her, then he called over many maidservants that were around 17 or 18 years old and incomparably pure. "Everyone, if you have any requests, feel free to instruct them."
Other than Fu Qiuchan and Fu Qingqing, Yue Kun and the others had long since been unable to move their gazes away from these maids. Their faces were filled with satisfaction. Although there were female cultivators in the sect, they were either in closed door cultivation or training outside. How could they be compared to the group of girls in front of them?
Finished speaking, Nie Yuan left.
Fu Qiuchan looked deeply at his retreating figure, and her eyes flickered incessantly. The Xiao clan had already sided with the Sword Sect a long time ago. Now that they dared to openly auction the sword of the Sword Sect's Ninth Peak's Sword Son, it was clear that the Xiao clan supported the Sword Sect's First Peak. Therefore, they were not afraid of the Ninth Peak.
She did not notice the coldness in Ye Chen's eyes at all, "Sword Sect's First Peak, Border Dragon City, you're courting death by auctioning Wushuang's sword!"
Yue Kun instructed, "Everyone, take a break. Then, we'll go and take a look at the auction!"
"That's right. We can also see what that genius's sword looks like." The others secretly nodded.
The maid that Ye Chen was assigned was called Qinger.
Qinger led Ye Chen into the room that she had arranged in advance respectfully. She said while exhaling, "Immortal Master, I'll be your personal maidservant from now on. You can tell me anything you want."
She looked at Ye Chen in anticipation after saying that.
How could Ye Chen not understand what she meant? He smiled lightly. "Alright, I understand. You can leave now!"
Qinger was stunned at first. When she saw that Ye Chen's expression did not seem to be fake, she closed the door and left in disappointment.
"It seems like I have to make a trip to that so-called auction. Wushuang's sword is not worthy of being owned by these people!"
His gaze was as cold as a knife, "Almost all the supreme sects in the entire Kunlun Ruins are here for the Xiao clan's birthday celebration. I wonder if we can see Luo Shuiyao and Tang Jianfeng!"
At this moment, someone knocked on the closed door, and a woman entered. It was Fu Qiuchan.
Under Ye Chen's confused gaze, Fu Qiuchan went straight to the point, "Ye Chen, who exactly are you?"
Her gaze was sharp and her tone was unquestionable.
In the beginning, she thought that Ye Chen was a rogue cultivator. Even though he had an Origin Energy cultivation base, he could not attract much attention from her. After all, she had the Star Sect behind her. It was enough for her to look down on any outsider.
However, along the way, she realized that Ye Chen's tone was neither humble nor arrogant. He did not show any fear when facing the disciples of the high sects. Moreover, he seemed to be very concerned about the various forces in the Kunlun Ruins.
This made her doubt Ye Chen's identity again. It was as if Ye Chen did not know anything about the Kunlun Ruins.
Ye Chen said with a forced smile when he met her gaze, "Would you believe me if I said that I was once a peerless Heavenly Emperor who suppressed all worlds and ruled the heavens?"
After interacting with her for the past few days, his impression of Fu Qiuchan was not bad. Although she also had the arrogance of someone from the Star Sect, her hostility toward him was not as great as Yue Kun and the rest. She would explain patiently if Ye Chen had any doubts.
"It might be useful to coax Qingqing with those words!"
Fu Qiuchan's eyes turned slightly cold, "Grandpa said that you're from a supreme sect and asked me to befriend you. However, I've asked the other senior and junior brothers and realized that Ye Chen isn't among all the supreme sects in the Kunlun Ruins. Don't tell me that you're from the most mysterious Purple Cap Mountain?"
"Ms. Fu, it's not good for you to know my identity!" Ye Chen gradually stopped smiling.
Countless people from the five ancient clans had died in his hands. It could be said that he was now the target of the five ancient clans. If the people from the five ancient clans found out that Fu Qiuchan was close to him, even if Fu Qiuchan was from the Star Sect, she would still be affected.
"Do you think I really want to know your true identity?"
Fu Qiuchan smirked coldly and said in disdain, "Let me warn you, don't have any designs on Qingqing. She's destined to join my Star Sect."
"I have designs on your sister?" Ye Chen was stunned.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"
Fu Qiuchan said with absolute certainty, "You must have deliberately approached Qingqing after knowing that I'm about to become a true disciple of the Star Sect. Your goal is to obtain my support!"
"Ms. Fu, aren't you being too full of yourself?" Ye Chen was speechless. He did not even care about the Star Sect, so why would he curry favor with a future true disciple of the Star Sect?
"You know very well whether it's true or not!"
Fu Qiuchan frowned slightly as if she had thought of something. She asked again, "Also, I realized that you've been paying attention to the Sword Sect along the way, especially that Ye Wushuang. Can you give me a reason?"
"The reason is that Ye Wushuang is my brother. As his big brother, it's not too much for me to be concerned about his safety, right?" Ye Chen smiled lightly.
"Haha …"
Fu Qiuchan scoffed. She could not be bothered to continue asking. She left Ye Chen's room after saying that.
"Remember, stay away from my sister!"
"Also, this is Border Dragon City, where forces from all over gather. I advise you to keep a low profile. If you provoke the disciples of those supreme sects, even I won't be able to protect you!"
…
"Fu Qiuchan, oh Fu Qiuchan, your horizons are only limited to the Star Sect and this tiny Kunlun Ruins!"
Ye Chen shook his head lightly after watching her leave, "How would I know that even Earth is only a drop in the ocean in the entire world, let alone the Kunlun Ruins? How would I know what I'm capable of?"
At this moment, Mengmeng, who was beside him, muttered, "Daddy, that sister is so annoying. She even said that daddy is interested in her. Mommy is much prettier than her."
Ye Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Daddy …"
The little girl's face suddenly collapsed. She hugged his arm tightly and said with a tearful face, "When can we go find mommy and the rest? I miss mommy and grandpa and grandma. "
"Soon. After we find your Uncle Wushuang, daddy will bring you and Uncle Wushuang to look for mommy," Ye Chen comforted her while smiling.
…
The Xiao clan's birthday celebration was set in the afternoon. In the next few hours, Fu Qiuchan and the other Star Sect disciples did not stay in the inn. Instead, they went out to participate in the auction.
However, before she left, Fu Qiuchan arranged for a maidservant to secretly watch Ye Chen's room. Clearly, she was still wary of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen smiled lightly. After performing a hand seal to make the maidservant hallucinate, he set up a barrier in the room and left the inn quietly.
