“Ah~ My hand!”
Everyone noticed the little boy next to Feng Siyue. He had somehow taken out a golden pair of scissors and snipped the air, severing the finger of the person who had been pointing at them!
“Indeed, you adults are no match for a child. Even a child knows not to bully the weak!” Little Tangguo waved the scissors in his hand, mimicking the appearance of the ghosts in the Ghost Realm, and revealed a sinister smile: “No one can point at my sister and mother, or else their hand will be the consequence!”
Little Tangguo was in a foul mood. As soon as they left the Ghost Realm, so many people wanted to bully them, a widow and her children. Since that was the case, with so many people around, it was time to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys!
The crowd, for some reason, instinctively took a step back when they saw the golden scissors.
They suddenly remembered that the mother and her two children were adept at the Guidao Technique, and the Guidao Technique was known for being insidious and treacherous.
In the past, when the Guidao Secret Sect leader was still around, cultivators would avoid the Guidao people like the plague, not daring to provoke them.
Feng Wanqing looked at the finger that had fallen to the ground, still stained with blood, and her face instantly became dark and terrifying.
Xiao Chuhan angrily shouted at Feng Siyue, “You said before that the Guidao Secret Sect is not an evil sect and does not harm the innocent. Now, explain this!”
Feng Siyue pulled Little Mifan behind her and said leisurely, “Explain? What is there to explain? The Guidao Secret Technique does not distinguish between good and evil; it depends on whether the person using it is evil! She looked up at Xiao Chuhan, her eyes filled with murderous intent: “It was your student who had murderous intentions towards my daughter, so my son took out the scissors and cut off his finger. This is his retribution!”
Xiao Chuhan was furious: “You!!!”
“Well said, a technique does not distinguish between good and evil!”
At that moment, a young man in blue robes stepped forward. He had a handsome appearance, with deep and charming phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and a face as white as jade!
Holding a white folding fan, the man had a slight smile on his lips, exuding an air of youthful vigor and extraordinary bearing!
Feng Wanqing widened her eyes, then felt a surge of joy and walked towards the man.
“Young Lord Zewu, why didn’t you inform Wanqing when you came to Jiaoyang City? I would have prepared good wine and food to entertain you!”
Young Lord Zewu? Could it be Lan Zewu, the young lord of the Beiyue Empire, who suddenly rose to prominence five years ago?
Hearing this title, everyone was startled.
The Abyss Continent had only three major empires: the Tiandou Empire, the Shengyuan Empire, and the Beiyue Empire. All other smaller nations were vassals of these three major powers.
Although Jiaoyang City was at the intersection of the three empires, it was actually located in the Beiyuan Kingdom, which was a vassal state of the Beiyue Empire!
Lan Zewu, being the son of the Beiyue Emperor and titled as the Young Lord, meant that he was the next in line to be the Emperor!
Therefore, Xiao Chuhan had to bow in respect when he saw Lan Zewu!
Feng Siyue looked at Lan Zewu and sneered inwardly. No wonder Feng Wanqing had suddenly transformed from a pure and noble saintess into a veritable licking dog!
With Xiao Chuhan’s status not as high as Lan Zewu’s, Feng Wanqing, with her ambitious nature, naturally thought of climbing higher!
However, Lan Zewu did not pay attention to Feng Wanqing. Instead, he walked straight towards Feng Siyue and her two children.
“Miss, may I ask if you are the disciples of the Guidao Secret Sect?”
Before Feng Siyue could respond, Little Mifan immediately stepped forward, nodding obediently: “Yes, yes, Uncle, do you find my brother and me familiar?”
Lan Zewu was slightly taken aback and then carefully looked at the two children, wondering if he had seen them before.
Just as he was about to rack his brains to think about it, the little boy said, “Uncle, do you think we look like your long-lost son and daughter?”
“!!!”
Lan Zewu almost choked on his own saliva. What the hell? How could he possibly have two children this old?
Feng Siyue’s lips twitched, and her delicate face flushed red. She quickly grabbed Little Mifan and said awkwardly, “I’m sorry, my precious child is looking for their never-met father, and they might have mistaken you for him because you look handsome.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay, children say some nonsense things!” Lan Zewu opened his fan and fanned himself vigorously to hide his embarrassment.
Feng Wanqing, seeing this, clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her flesh without her realizing it.
Shameless bitch! Using such lowly tactics to seduce Lan Zewu!
Meanwhile, on the auction floor, Di Xuan Shang watched everything unfold.
His eyes were cold, as if a layer of frost had condensed around him, making his subordinates tremble with fear. However, they also sensed a hint of resentment from their master.
To the unknowing, it would seem as if their master had been cheated on!
“It’s too noisy, get them out of here!”
Di Xuan Shang said coldly and turned away from the window.
Ah?
The master had been staring at the veiled woman for so long, and now he actually wanted to get rid of her?
As subordinates, they couldn’t disobey their master’s orders, so they hurriedly went downstairs!
Meanwhile, Feng Siyue seemed to sense something and instinctively looked around. Not seeing any familiar faces, she couldn’t help but mock herself. Since leaving the Ghost Realm, had she become more suspicious?
“I am Lan Zewu from the Beiyue Empire. May I ask for your name, Miss? If you have time, I would like to discuss the Guidao Secret Sect with you!”
Lan Zewu was asking for Feng Siyue’s name, his voice gentle and without any airs of a young lord.
Feng Siyue couldn’t help but feel a sense of goodwill towards this man. She said, “My name is Han Yue, and I live at the Tianmen Sword Sect!”
She used an alias because it was not the time to reveal her true identity!
“Frost descends in early winter, crossing the late autumn; cold river moonlight reflects on a lonely boat! No wonder you are so proud and aloof!” Lan Zewu said with a smile.
“Ahem, don’t cause a scene at the auction house. Those who cause trouble will be killed without mercy. Please leave immediately!”
Di Xuan Shang’s subordinates said loudly, making a gesture to drive them away.
Feng Wanqing, seeing that the target of the expulsion was Feng Siyue, smiled coldly. She smiled slightly at the servant and said, “We are here to attend the auction. We have front-row invitations. Some people who don’t have invitations should leave quickly!”
In her opinion, Feng Siyue, being new here, absolutely could not have an invitation to the auction house, as all the invitations for this auction had been snapped up half a month ago.
Lan Zewu looked at Feng Siyue and offered a way out: “There is a teahouse ahead, how about…”
“We have an invitation. Is this it?”
