20: Chapter 20 The Auction (Part 5)

The auction items that Luo Yunkai did not interfere with were still quite lively.

With Wan'er, a capable auctioneer, those items often sold for Spirit Stones far exceeding their actual value.

Luo Yunkai watched with great interest, as if he were not at all worried about the shadow hanging over his head.

Xiao Tian was also quite broad-minded; gradually, he relaxed and focused on the auction, watching the items he had never even heard of before, bit by bit accumulating his knowledge of the Cultivation World.

As Su Xin watched, he let out a cold laugh.

He was laughing at himself for being a busybody, sticking his nose where it didn't belong!

Luo Yunkai felt that this Su Xin was very strange.

However, he didn't find him annoying; in fact, he even felt that this personality was somewhat like his own in the past.

"Fellow Immortal Friends, the next auction item is not on the auction list; it is an item temporarily added by the Qingyun Sect."

Luo Yunkai raised an eyebrow in some surprise.

Interesting.

Cultivators in other rooms also showed some curiosity.

"A temporarily added item? Since when did a Sect as large as the Qingyun Sect become so unreliable in its affairs?"

"I am rather curious as to what kind of item could prompt the Qingyun Sect to add it; bring it out quickly so we can take a look."

"Miss Wan'er, don't keep us in suspense, hurry up and display the item."

...

Listening to the curious urging of the others, Bai Shao's round face was filled with self-satisfaction.

He lightly patted the plump buttocks of the maid in his arms, producing a crisp slapping sound.

"Do you know who provided this newly added item?"

The maid's pair of snow-white legs were exposed in the air, wrapped around Bai Shao's obese waist, and her arms, draped in light gauze, hung around Bai Shao's almost invisible neck, yet her eyes were seductively looking at the man in white robes on the other side.

She leaned against Bai Shao's ear, her breath like orchids, her waist twisting enchantingly, as if she were a seductive demon.

"Could it be, Second Young Master?"

The smile on Bai Shao's face grew wider; he grabbed that fair and supple waist and squeezed it hard, laughing out loud, "Not bad, it is indeed this young master!"

"Hah! What kind of thing dares to come to the Qingyun Sect to report me? I will let everyone know that I am not to be trifled with!"

When Bai Shao said this, his gaze was cast towards room 133 on the first floor, his face full of Evil Qi.

The maid smiled charmingly, coaxing Bai Shao, but her gloating gaze did not stop looking at room 133.

She was waiting to see their end!

To think they looked down on her!

"Are you also unhappy with them?" Bai Shao lifted the maid's chin.

The maid looked at him eagerly, "Second Young Master, you must stand up for me."

Bai Shao laughed ostentatiously, and just as he was about to agree, he heard a "pssh" sound; the pupils of the delicate beauty in his arms dilated, and she lost her breath.

He suddenly looked up and scanned his surroundings, finally seeing his older brother slowly withdrawing his hand, as if he were afraid that Bai Shao wouldn't be able to tell who had done it.

"Big brother?" Bai Shao was both shocked and angry.

He had only just gotten his hands on her and hadn't even played with her properly yet, so why did his big brother kill her?

Bai Ji raised his eyelids, his pitch-black eyes inscrutable.

"She deserved to die."

Bai Shao curled his lips, "Why..."

"The people in room 133 looked down on her, which is why she turned to you; yet she still wanted to incite you to cause trouble for them. What, do you want everyone to know that you took a maid they looked down on?"

Bai Shao's face turned livid instantly; he threw the dead body, whose warmth had not yet faded, off his lap onto the floor, kicked it away in annoyance, and shoved the corpse further away.

Bai Ji waved his hand, and someone stepped forward to dispose of the body.

Soon, there were no dead people in the room.

Bai Shao glared viciously at room 133, "You made me lose so much face, just you wait!"

Luo Yunkai did not know that he had offended Second Young Master Bai again.

If he did know, he would probably not care.

When you have many debts, you don't worry; when you have many lice, they don't itch.

...

"Miss Wan'er, stop playing games; quickly display the item and let us see what kind of item it is that is worth the Qingyun Sect adding it."

Seeing that everyone's interest had been piqued, Wan'er stopped being coy.

"Since the Immortal Friends are in a hurry, then, let us display the item!"

As Wan'er spoke, she took a step back.

The floor beneath her feet began to tremble slowly.

Soon, a large, pitch-black hole appeared in the ground.

"Clang, clang..."

The sound of iron chains emanated from the hole.

The first thing to come into view was the top of an iron cage.

Then, slowly emerging from the ground were the bars of the iron cage, as thick as an arm, supporting the cage.

Such a grand display caused many people to stand up and come to the window, wanting to see what was going on.

"Clang!"

The iron cage was completely fixed on the ground; as everyone looked at the iron cage, surprise flashed in their eyes.

It was actually a person!

A Cultivator, covered in blood, lying wretchedly in the iron cage, on the verge of death?

"Whoa!"

The crowd was in an uproar, looking at the Cultivator in the iron cage in disbelief.

"What a Qingyun Sect, what a great Qingyun Sect! To actually auction off a Cultivator; how is this different from a Demonic Sect! This lady is ashamed to be associated with you!"

Yin Qiu had always looked down on certain practices of the Qingyun Sect; a younger brother of the Sect Head's head Disciple dared to talk back to her, and now that she had caught them in the act, she wouldn't hesitate to slander them to death.

Bai Shao immediately opened the window in annoyance and sneered towards Yin Qiu's room on the sixth floor, "It is just auctioning off a Demonic Cultivator, how does that make us a Demonic Sect?"

"The Young Sect Master of the Changhong Sect is so impatient to label my Qingyun Sect; one who didn't know better might think that your Changhong Sect is the actual Demonic Sect, wanting to rescue this companion of the Demonic Sect."

Yin Qiu was instantly annoyed, "You are spouting nonsense!"

Bai Shao unfolded his fan; although he was a two-hundred-pound fat man, he put on a dashing and suave appearance, "I am spouting nonsense? Wasn't it Young Sect Master Yin who started it?"

Yin Qiu snorted coldly, "Swish," and closed the window, refusing to continue communicating with Bai Shao.

Bai Shao didn't care; he triumphantly lifted his chin, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, "Well, is there anyone else dissatisfied with this auction item?"

Now everyone understood that this auction item was provided by Bai Shao.

Luo Yunkai swept his gaze over the "Demonic Cultivator" in the iron cage, and upon seeing that familiar face amidst the bloodstains, he couldn't help but sigh.

He knew when they were on the flying boat that this person would not have a good ending, but he did not expect it to be an ending like this.

"Too arrogant."

Su Xin sneered, "The Qingyun Sect; the Sect Head covers the sky with one hand, and Bai Ji is even a Genius Disciple the Sect Head sought out, so how could he, Bai Shao, not be arrogant?"

Xiao Tian suddenly realized, "He is not a Demonic Cultivator? He was framed by Bai Shao because he offended Bai Shao? So he was framed as a Demonic Cultivator and sent to the auction to be sold?"

Su Xin's eyes were gloomy, looking at the Cultivator on the auction stage as if he were seeing himself, "Otherwise? What kind of Demonic Cultivator would dare to run openly to the Qingyun Sect."

Xiao Tian's face darkened, his teeth grinding together with a clicking sound.

Looking at the disheartened Cultivator in the iron cage, he felt as if he were seeing himself, who had been falsely accused of stealing a Medicinal Pill and beaten to the brink of death back then.

It was truly impossible to clear one's name!

"Dad, I want to buy him." Xiao Tian rubbed his fingers nervously.

Su Xin was surprised, but when he saw the feeling of empathy for one's own kind in Xiao Tian's eyes, he frowned and glared at Luo Yunkai.

Luo Yunkai felt it was inexplicable, so he ignored Su Xin and said indifferently, "If you want to buy him, then buy him; it's not like we don't have Spirit Stones."

Xiao Tian's eyes lit up, and then he felt a bit embarrassed, "Dad, if I don't have enough Spirit Stones, can I borrow some from you?"

He thought to himself that, after all, it was a Cultivator, so it probably wouldn't be cheap.

Su Xin did not give Luo Yunkai a chance to show off his ability as a father.

"Rest assured, you have enough Spirit Stones! Just go ahead and call out the price!"
