66: Rumors about Ye Tianjin and Hong Jiu'er

Having been rejected by Lin Du twice in a row, a nameless fire surged in Hong Jiu'er's heart.

If it weren't for Qilin Immortal Venerable favoring Lin Du, Hong Jiu'er wouldn't even have bothered to pay him any mind.

"Night Ember, are you sure you want to make an enemy of the Peak of the Forbidden City?"

Hong Jiu'er was a top-tier player who consistently ranked high on the leaderboard; her aura when enraged was astonishing.

Under the locked gaze of Hong Jiu'er, Lin Du's expression remained calm, and no ripples could be seen on the clown mask.

"Miss Red Wine, I think you've misunderstood something."

"From beginning to end, you were the ones trying to give me a hard time. I was merely trying to protect myself!"

Lin Du glanced out of the corner of his eye at a few sneaky players standing in the corner of the exhibition hall, a playful smile curling the corners of his lips.

"Miss Red Wine, your friends don't seem to look very well."

"Could it be because they can't cast their skills?"

Whoosh— In an instant, a look of shock flashed through Hong Jiu'er's beautiful eyes.

"You, how did you find out!"

Lin Du curled his lips.

"They reek of your unique stench; they can't hide it even if they want to!"

!!! Hong Jiu'er was about to explode.

Before coming here, Hong Jiu'er had already made her plans.

If Lin Du agreed to join the Peak of the Forbidden City, their previous grievances would be wiped clean.

If he refused, then she would make Lin Du disappear completely today!

To ensure nothing went wrong, everyone Hong Jiu'er brought were spatial-type players from affiliated guilds.

Who would have thought that even in this situation, they would still be discovered?

Hong Jiu'er subconsciously scanned the corner, happening to see the ugly expressions on the faces of those spatial-type players.

They failed! These people actually failed!

Hong Jiu'er forced herself to calm down, raised her head, and stared at the mocking face before her.

"For so many years, no one has ever dared to speak to me like this. You will definitely die!"

"You will die a very, very miserable death!!"

The voices of Lin Du and Hong Jiu'er attracted the attention of many players nearby, and several players in front of the Emperors Heart Sword display case also turned to look.

Facing Hong Jiu'er's threat, Lin Du laughed, his smile full of disdain.

"Noisy!" "Show them out!"

Whoosh— A storm rose from the flat ground!

As soon as Lin Du finished speaking, small storms emerged out of thin air beneath the feet of Hong Jiu'er and the few spatial-type players.

The small storms swept up their bodies, and amid the astonished gazes of the many players, they went "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" as they flew out the doors of the exhibition hall...

Bang— "Ah!" "Ahh!"

The small storms were one of the defensive formations that Du Qing had inscribed within the exhibition hall.

This formation had no ability to harm people; it was purely capable of "sending" people out and would not violate the game's rules.

...

The scene of Lin Du driving away Hong Jiu'er left the players in the exhibition hall dumbfounded.

After the players regained their senses, they huddled together and began to whisper.

"This Night Ember is truly bold. He even dares to offend a woman like Hong Jiu'er. Is he not afraid of death?"

"He must possess other incredible means to be so fearless!"

"Hong Jiu'er is so angry today, could it be that she was really slept with by Night Ember last night?"

"It must be!" "This brother is remarkable..."

In front of the Emperors Heart Sword display case. A look of surprise flashed through Ning Fengya's beautiful eyes.

Watching the clown's proud, upright, and composed posture, she subconsciously took a few extra looks.

This upright figure made Ning Fengya feel a sense of familiarity.

This was not the first time Ning Fengya had felt this way.

It's just that... the one whose build was similar to the clown's could definitely not possess the clown's confidence of having everything under control and his invisible, domineering aura.

These two people: one roams wantonly among the major factions. While the other can only wander between the kitchen and the bedroom, only knowing how to call out 'wife this, wife that'...

"It might just be a similar build; it is absolutely impossible for them to be the same person!" Ning Fengya shook her head, discarding the stray thoughts in her heart...

Not far from Ning Fengya, Zhao Yunsou had originally intended to wait until Lin Du had no way out before appearing to resolve the crisis.

Unexpectedly! He never expected! Lin Du had actually resolved the trouble himself.

Zhao Yunsou stood there in deep regret; if he had known, he would have stepped out earlier.

This excellent opportunity to do a favor had been wasted just like that...

Since the opportunity was missed, Zhao Yunsou shifted all his attention to the Emperors Heart Sword skill book in front of him.

"10,000 years!" "I bid 10,000 years of lifespan value, everyone give up! Don't make any futile struggles."

Zhao Yunsou was very imposing, taking the Emperors Heart Sword, which had a starting bid of 5,000 years of lifespan value, and raising it directly to 10,000 years of lifespan value in one go.

Shameless Cao Thief sighed from the side. "Sigh! I originally wanted to pick up a bargain, but it seems there's no chance at all now."

"There are too many people in the Three Kingdoms to support; I really can't afford such tossing and turning. I'm giving up, giving up."

Shameless Cao Thief gave up on the auction without even placing a single bid. Zhao Yunsou curled his lips triumphantly.

Ning Fengya didn't speak, silently changing the price on her placard to 12,000 years.

Seeing this, Zhao Yunsou sneered disdainfully. "Ning Fengya, only raising the price by 2,000 years of lifespan value? Don't tell me you didn't bring enough lifespan value?"

"I bid 15,000 years!" "If you didn't bring enough lifespan value, then give up early to avoid embarrassing yourself!"

In terms of martial strength, Zhao Yunsou was far from being Ning Fengya's opponent. But in terms of financial power, Zhao Yunsou could beat Ning Fengya hands down.

To avenge the humiliation he previously suffered from Ning Fengya, Zhao Yunsou displayed the meaning of "a villain gaining success" to the fullest.

A cold look gradually appeared between Ning Fengya's brows. She glared at Zhao Yunsou, then changed the price on her placard to 18,000 years.

Ning Fengya remained silent for a long time, and Zhao Yunsou became increasingly triumphant and arrogant.

"Ning Fengya, it doesn't matter if you don't have money. Kick that trash Lin Du to the curb, and this young master will gift this skill book to you. How about that?"

Boom— Ning Fengya still couldn't help but erupt. "Zhao Yunsou, you are courting death!"

Ning Fengya didn't make a move, but the aura she unleashed alone gave Zhao Yunsou a big fright. Zhao Yunsou stumbled, and actually ended up sitting on the ground on his butt.

"Hahahaha!" Many players nearby were observing the situation here, and seeing Zhao Yunsou scared onto the ground, a roar of laughter immediately erupted.

Zhao Yunsou felt he had lost face. Losing face in front of outsiders was one thing, but he had also lost face in front of Lin Du.

"Ning Fengya!!" Zhao Yunsou gritted his teeth and said: "I bid 20,000 years of lifespan value!"

Zhao Yunsou could only seek to regain face through the Emperors Heart Sword. As an ss-rank skill book, the true value of the Emperors Heart Sword was roughly around 20,000 years of lifespan value.

The moment Zhao Yunsou placed his bid, Ning Fengya didn't hesitate to immediately follow up. "25,000 years!"

Zhao Yunsou clenched his fists. "30,000 years!" "This young master bids 30,000 years of lifespan value!"

The price kept going higher, and Lin Du was rubbing his hands in excitement on the side. If a few more people like Zhao Yunsou came along, perhaps the 320,000 years of lifespan value owed to the Ning Family would be settled.

Lin Du wanted Zhao Yunsou to die, but he also wanted to scam him a few more times. If this Zhao Yunsou died, who knows when the next Zhao Yunsou would appear... His feelings were truly complicated!
