Fang Ruo appeared very calm.
She seemed to be used to her own problems and could face them calmly.
"Actually, it was just my problem. Qingqing was healthy, but my father paid a huge price to invite a senior almighty to try and treat me. But that senior couldn't do anything about it. In the end, he thought of a way, which was to share the burden of my special body with Qingqing. That way, I could live a few more years," Fang Ruo said calmly.
"At that time, I refused because I didn't want to implicate Qingqing. But Qingqing didn't want me to die, so she knocked me out when I wasn't paying attention. Then, following the method that the senior said, she linked my life force with hers so that she could help me share the burden and delay my life."
"It's just that the price of that method is also very high. From then on, Qingqing lost all of her previous memories and was fixed in her current appearance. She will never grow up again."
Xiao Chen was shocked when he heard that. He didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns in this situation.
"It can be said that if it wasn't for Qingqing, I would have died a long time ago. But in reality, I wish I could die earlier so that Qingqing wouldn't become like this. She would forever be a child who would never grow up. I really feel guilty towards Qingqing." Fang Ruo's eyes were filled with indescribable sorrow.
"Father also feels very guilty. That's why he's worked hard all these years to maintain Qingqing and my life force. Even though Qingqing shared some of the burden with me, if we can't suppress the negative energy in our bodies regularly, it will still erupt."
"But it's very expensive to invite some seniors to help suppress it. Sometimes, I even want to end my own life. But if I do that, I'll be letting Qingqing down and letting down my father and the rest."
Xiao Chen was speechless. He didn't know what to say or how to comfort her.
In reality, Fang Ruo didn't need any comfort at all. Based on her words and behavior, she could face these things calmly. She probably didn't need the pity and sympathy of others.
Now, Xiao Chen could understand why Fang Kai, as a deacon of the Kanshui Auction House, would take the initiative to rope in customers without any regard for his status or reputation.
All for the sake of their children.
"Truth be told, I really don't want you to work so hard. Even if you regularly suppress the negative energy in your body, there will come a day when I won't be able to suppress it anymore. I will still have to die. I might as well exchange all this money for cultivation resources. Father's cultivation base will be much higher than it is now and you won't have to rely on others for everything." Fang Ruo had a helpless expression on his face.
"Where's … your mother?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Mother, she … I don't know either. Anyway, I've never seen her since I was very, very young. Father also avoided talking about it. Perhaps mother is long gone." Fang Ruo smiled bitterly.
"I'm sorry." Xiao Chen was embarrassed.
"It's fine. Young Master Xiao acted righteously that day and almost angered the Huashi Clan. Fang Ruo has nothing to repay you for," Fang Ruo said with a smile.
Xiao Chen nodded. The reason why Fang Ruo was willing to say so much to him was definitely because he had saved her that day.
"What's going on with that Hua Shiqiao? Why did he try to kidnap you in public that day? "Xiao Chen was puzzled.
Even if Hua Shiqiao was Fang Ruo's pursuer, he shouldn't have done something like that.
"Hua Shiqiao … he didn't mean it. He just wanted to play with me. Maybe I've rejected him several times before and angered him a little," Fang Ruo said helplessly.
"What did the Kanshui Auction House say? After all, Hua Shiqiao publicly attacked someone from the auction house that day. "Xiao Chen asked again.
"The auction house warned Hua Shiqiao, but the incident that day didn't blow up, so the auction house couldn't do anything more," Fang Ruo said.
Xiao Chen nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The auction was still in full swing. As time passed, more and more good items appeared. Almost every guest in the private room had made a bid.
On the fifth day, the people sitting in the hall could only look at the items that were being auctioned.
"The next item to be auctioned is a token that records the route to Polo Mountain. With this token, you can successfully enter Polo Mountain once," Master Pinewood said calmly.
Originally, Xiao Chen was just looking at it casually. However, after hearing this, he immediately focused all his attention.
"Polo Mountain? Isn't that an important piece of information that Qing Supreme Thearch left in the Alien Tribe's world? "Xiao Chen was very surprised.
That time, when he was forced to go to the Alien Tribe's world, he learned some information that Qing Supreme Thearch left behind.
The most important thing was Polo Mountain.
At that time, he thought that Polo Mountain was in the same group of worlds. However, at that time, even Li Kong, the expert from the Alien Tribe who kidnapped him, didn't know anything about Polo Mountain. Hence, later on, Xiao Chen couldn't find it in the Alien Tribe's world.
He didn't expect to hear about Polo Mountain again here.
"Could this Polo Mountain be in the No-Beginning Region?" Xiao Chen was very surprised. If Polo Mountain was in the No-Beginning Region, then why would Qing Supreme Thearch leave behind information about Polo Mountain in the Alien Tribe's world?
This puzzled Xiao Chen for a moment, but he quickly suppressed these thoughts for the time being. No matter what had happened, Xiao Chen had to get his hands on this token.
"Polo Mountain's token?"
"Really?"
What surprised Xiao Chen was that after hearing Master Pinewood's words, there was a small commotion in the auction house.
"Honored guests, please be at ease. This token has been appraised and is absolutely authentic. Do you not trust the reputation of our Kanshui Auction House?" Master Pinewood said with a smile.
"If it is the real Polo Mountain token, why doesn't your auction house look for it yourself? Why would you auction it? "someone questioned.
"Hehe, honored guests, what kind of place is Polo Mountain? I believe that those who know about it know that even if you go there, you might not have the chance to obtain good things and treasures. Furthermore, it is very troublesome to enter once, and it depends entirely on luck. Hence, it is not strange for this token to be auctioned, "Master Pinewood said with a smile.
"That's true. Kanshui Auction House is a big business. There is indeed no need for them to rely on luck. Master Pinewood, then tell us, how much is this token worth?" someone nodded in agreement.
"This token's starting price is three million Black Xuan Crystals. Each increment must be no less than one hundred thousand. Furthermore, it can only be traded with Black Xuan Crystals. No matter how many Purple Xuan Crystals or Blue Xuan Crystals you offer, it will not be accepted!" Master Pinewood said with a smile.
