383: Personal attack?
The other women also looked at Su Chen with strange expressions.
Hanging thirty Colorful Stones at once was unprecedented in the past.
Jiang Nianxin also sighed helplessly; she naturally hoped to be at the top of the list, but she was well aware that Yue Ninger was indeed a cut above her.
Originally, no one would have hung stones for her, but now a mysterious person had appeared.
Jiang Nianxin was somewhat puzzled. The situation with the Yue Family was significant; was he not afraid at all?
Suddenly.
She felt a bit envious of Yue Ninger in her heart; to have someone help her during such a critical crisis—this kind of affection could truly be described as undying.
Clearly.
She simply assumed Su Chen was a suitor of Yue Ninger.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Su Chen to spend such a massive price for her.
With Su Chen stirring things up, many people felt rather unenthusiastic. Compared to Su Chen's thirty Colorful Stones, their own offerings felt like showing off one's sword in front of Guan Gong.
They couldn't bring themselves to bid anymore!
However, many people were secretly sizing up Su Chen, guessing what his true identity might be.
The Azure Heaven Realm was full of hidden talents. Even if the aura Su Chen displayed wasn't particularly strong, the ability to produce three billion Top-grade Immortal Crystals at once was enough to prove his extraordinary nature.
Therefore, no one had any malicious intentions toward Su Chen.
It was unlike the time in the Ten Thousand Star Realm, where if others knew you were filthy rich, they probably wouldn't have been able to resist robbing you.
Once associated with an Immortal Emperor powerhouse, the nature of things changed.
If someone had an Immortal Emperor powerhouse behind them, even if you robbed them, you would almost certainly be found afterward unless you had countermeasures at the same Immortal Emperor level.
If the other person had means left behind by an Immortal Emperor, going up to rob them was practically committing suicide.
The grand assembly ended quickly.
In the end, the total Immortal Crystals from Jiang Nianxin's hung stones reached one billion, which wasn't low, but compared to Yue Ninger's three billion, there was indeed a significant gap.
Under everyone's gaze, Su Chen left directly.
"Huh?"
"What does this mean? Is he not planning to chat with Yue Ninger?"
"Could it be that he hung the stones just for the sake of it, and actually had no intention of helping Yue Ninger resolve the Yue Family's predicament?"
"That shouldn't be the case. To be able to produce three billion Top-grade Immortal Crystals so decisively, his origins must be significant, at least starting at the Immortal Emperor level. If he were afraid, there would be no need to hang thirty Colorful Stones..."
"That makes sense."
Seeing Su Chen leave directly immediately caused many people to start whispering; they were also a bit confused by Su Chen's actions.
The most bewildered among them was Yue Ninger; she stared blankly at Su Chen's back, her face full of confusion.
She had assumed that after the event concluded, Su Chen would come to initiate a conversation with her, but she hadn't expected him to leave directly.
Why?
Soon, Su Chen's figure disappeared completely.
This sent Yue Ninger into a panic; she had thought she had met a savior who could rescue her Family, but reality seemed to have played a huge joke on her.
She felt her body go soft, as if she were unable to stand steadily.
It felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.
She had never seen Su Chen before; he must be someone from a reclusive faction with a significant background. As long as he was willing to help their Yue Family, they would have a chance to overcome this crisis.
But now, it was clear that the other party didn't seem willing.
Was the Yue Family really doomed to suffer this disaster?
On the other side.
After Su Chen left, he headed straight for the restaurant where he was staying.
Although Yue Ninger was quite good, and Su Chen was naturally interested in beautiful things, he had no emotional connection to her, and he wasn't lacking for beautiful companions by his side.
Therefore, he naturally had no interest in helping Yue Ninger.
Every woman who participated in the Hundred Birds Pavilion assembly could receive a huge share, meaning at least sixty percent of those three billion Top-grade Immortal Crystals would fall into her hands.
This could be considered a form of indirect help.
Su Chen shook his head and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to these things.
The Hundred Birds Pavilion was just a bit of fun for him.
If Su Chen were to take in every good-looking woman he encountered, that would be too casual.
Of course, he didn't mind, but such things depended on fate.
Behind Su Chen, Huang Ying looked at him with an expression of immense awe; the shock in her eyes had yet to settle.
Thirty Colorful Stones!
She had lived in this Azure Phoenix City her whole life, but she had never seen anyone hang so many Colorful Stones in one go.
This was simply too terrifying, right?
Huang Ying couldn't help but swallow hard; she hadn't expected that someone she had received casually could be so terrifying.
On the other side, Han Xi was indifferent.
It was merely three billion Top-grade Immortal Crystals; usually, when she was at Mount Wangyun, this amount of Immortal Crystals was basically like pocket money.
The three of them headed toward the restaurant just like that.
However, just as they arrived at the entrance and were preparing to enter, two figures suddenly blocked them.
"Huang Ying, you were really hard to find."
The two were the ones who had previously stopped Huang Ying and told her to repay the Immortal Crystals.
Hearing this familiar voice, Huang Ying couldn't help but change color. Normally, they shouldn't have come to find her until tomorrow.
After all, today was only the ninth day.
Huang Ying glanced at Su Chen and said with a very ugly expression, "Two sirs, I am willing to go with you, but these two are my guests; please do not make things difficult for them."
She naturally couldn't possibly have the 150,000 Top-grade Immortal Crystals right now.
Although Su Chen looked like he had a strong background, the Wang Family was not to be underestimated either. Although they had no Immortal Emperor level powerhouses, they had several Immortal Venerables.
Furthermore, the Old Ancestor of the Wang Family was an Immortal Venerable at Great Perfection, just one step away from becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
He hadn't left seclusion for a long time, and rumors outside were that he was in seclusion attempting a Breakthrough.
Huang Ying naturally did not want Su Chen to have bad blood with the Wang Family because of her.
Upon hearing this, Han Xi couldn't help but smile and shake her head. Huang Ying was not old, probably only a few hundred thousand years old, which made her no different from a child in front of her.
But in Huang Ying, she saw stubbornness and innocence.
This was relatively rare in the Immortal Realm and was the type of personality most prone to suffering losses.
The two from the Wang Family glanced at Su Chen, looked him up and down, and finally said extremely impatiently, "Get lost quickly; this has nothing to do with you."
Many things the Wang Family did weren't very clean, so the people under them were naturally like thugs, speaking with great arrogance.
Su Chen's eyes remained as usual, and he said calmly, "How many Immortal Crystals does Huang Ying owe you?"
Seeing that Su Chen still hadn't left, one of them said impatiently, "What's it to you? Want to be a hero? You should see if you even have the qualifications. Huang Ying owes 150,000 Top-grade Immortal Crystals; do you have them?"
As he spoke, he looked Su Chen over again, his face full of disdain and contempt.
Su Chen's brows furrowed immediately. In fact, he didn't like to kill at the drop of a hat, and he had intended to solve the problem with Immortal Crystals; 150,000 Top-grade Immortal Crystals were very little to him.
But these two started with personal attacks, which made him slightly displeased.
"Since you've said it like that... then I can't be bothered to waste words with you."
After Su Chen finished speaking, the two figures instantly exploded, turning into a mist of blood.
