69: Poor Xiao Yan!

The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a moment.

After they both sat down, they exchanged glances.

"Why did you call me here?" they both said in unison again.

Lin Xiao: "..."

Yu Liuli: "..."

Another silence fell between them.

Lin Xiao looked at Yu Liuli, saw that she wasn't speaking, and was about to open his mouth.

"You first," the same voice sounded in unison again... Yu Liuli couldn't help but feel a little annoyed looking at Lin Xiao in front of her.

Under unbearable circumstances, she finally erupted.

"Lin Xiao, are you sick? You invited me to this auction, so why don't you speak?" Yu Liuli said.

"Didn't you ask Yi'er to invite me?" Lin Xiao asked, somewhat bewildered.

Yu Liuli: "???"

"Didn't you ask Lin Yi to invite me?" Yu Liuli was also utterly confused.

She deliberately emphasized the word 'invite'...

"Damn, Lin Yi, that brat, he actually tricked me!"

After a moment ofstunned, Lin Xiao couldn't help but pat his head, quickly realizing what had happened.

No sooner had he spoken than the System's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Ding, detecting the current situation the Host is facing, two choices are now given to the Host!"

The familiar blue light screen reappeared.

"Choice One: Realize you've been tricked by Lin Yi, leave directly, and obtain a low-tier Sacred Artifact: Nine Immortal Gourd!"

"Choice Two: Accept reality, accompany Yu Liuli to finish this auction, and obtain chaos loam x10!"

"Low-tier Sacred Artifact? Trash!"

Lin Xiao looked at Choice One, a hint of disdain in his heart.

He couldn't help but look at Yu Liuli, who was still in a daze in front of him.

"Hey, Senior Sister Liuli, since you're already here, why don't you stay and watch?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Ding, choice successful. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining chaos loam x10, which has been automatically placed in your Dantian!"

As the System's voice fell, Lin Xiao's Dantian was instantly filled with a rich Chaos Qi.

Although Lin Xiao's cultivation hadn't increased, his aura surged considerably at that moment.

Old Ancestor Lin Yuanzhi, who was nearby, looked at Lin Xiao with a somewhat surprised gaze.

"This child seems a bit strange. He's clearly not a Chaos Body, yet his entire being is filled with rich Chaos Qi."

"How peculiar! How peculiar!" Lin Yuanzhi murmured.

After speaking, he looked at Lin Xiao and Yu Liuli, a faint, almost imperceptible smile appearing in his eyes.

"You two chat slowly, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving first," Lin Yuanzhi said with a smile, then left the private room.

"Old Ancestor, take care," Lin Xiao said, then looked at Yu Liuli in front of him.

"Will you stay and watch?"

At this moment, Yu Liuli, looking at Lin Xiao, couldn't help but show a trace of panic in her eyes.

Her heart pounded like a frightened deer.

She kept murmuring to herself: "What should I do, what should I do? Lin Xiao invited me to an auction, should I agree?"

"Or maybe, I should refuse. If I agree so easily, will he think I'm a very rash person?"

Yu Liuli pondered for quite a while.

After struggling for a long time, she finally made up her mind.

"Alright, but if I buy everything at the auction, can you afford it?" Yu Liuli said with a smile.

"Of course, it's just a small amount of money. You can even buy this Tianyun Pavilion if you want," Lin Xiao said with a hearty laugh.

He truly wasn't short on money; as long as Yu Liuli stayed, that was enough.

"Then it's settled. This Princess will stay and watch this auction with you," Yu Liuli said, looking at Lin Xiao with a smile, feeling quite pleased.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao, looking at the smiling Yu Liuli, couldn't help but rub his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Yu Liuli asked, puzzled.

"You... you actually smile," Lin Xiao said, somewhat startled.

Yu Liuli: "..."

"What do you take me for? Why wouldn't I smile?"

Yu Liuli was somewhat speechless, faint black lines appearing on her forehead.

"Cough, cough!"

Seeing this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but cough, realizing he had said the wrong thing.

For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward again, and the two were unusually quiet.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Tianyun Pavilion, Xiao Yan, holding an invitation, had finally arrived at the auction hall of Tianyun Pavilion.

"Young Master, welcome to the Tianyun Auction," the maid at the entrance said with a smile to Xiao Yan, who was holding an invitation.

"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm," Xiao Yan responded casually.

With that, he entered the auction.

Looking at the luxurious decorations around him, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

"Hmph, bumpkin."

Other guests at the auction looked at Xiao Yan with a hint of mockery.

However, Xiao Yan didn't bother with these people and instead looked at his invitation, muttering to himself.

"private room 301, huh?" Xiao Yan murmured.

He didn't search for long before finding it, right next to Lin Xiao's.

Then, to the astonishment of everyone, Xiao Yan entered private room 301.

"What??? This country bumpkin is actually so rich???"

"If I remember correctly, the minimum net worth to enter a private room is thirty million divine source. Is this kid that rich?"

"Who knows? I'm just curious why this kid, being so rich, still acts like a bumpkin."

"Perhaps he's a Disciple of a reclusive master from the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain?"

"Sigh, the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain, I really miss it. I wonder if I'll ever have a chance to leave in this lifetime."

"Don't even think about it. Just stay here. The Heavenly Dao Law of the Blood Spirit Realm is incompatible with the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain; we'll never be able to leave."

— — — —

As Xiao Yan entered the auction.

In private room 302, Lin Xiao felt the familiar power of Luck, and a strange curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Interesting, the Child of Destiny has arrived. I wonder what good things will appear at this auction," Lin Xiao murmured with a smile.

He looked at Xiao Yan next door with a hint of malice.

He wasn't afraid of not being able to buy things; after all, he had plenty of money.

At worst, he would just bid on everything Xiao Yan wanted to buy.

As the auction was about to begin, Mo Fan also arrived at his private room.

Looking at the center of the auction hall, a determined expression appeared in his eyes.

"Xiao Yan, oh Xiao Yan, I'm sorry, but this Opportunity of yours is mine," Mo Fan said with a smile.

What he didn't know was that while he was eyeing Xiao Yan's Opportunity,

In the Void Realm, a vast, abyss-like eye was also watching him.

It was the Great Heavenly Eye technique used by Lin Xiao.

"Interesting, interesting. Today, it seems I've stumbled into a nest of Children of Destiny; two of them have actually come," Lin Xiao said with a smile...

"Strange, why do I feel like someone is watching me?"

In Mo Fan's private room, he rubbed his head, feeling a bit strange.
