Chapter 148: Entering the Auction House
Jun Wu Xiao and Gu Zhou Jian arrived at the identity verification area. At this moment, the two of them stopped joking around and looked more serious.
The staff there, seeing the two young people entering, guessed they must be descendants of some great family. One of the staff members said:
"Please present your invitation letter."
"We don’t have one, but he’s a high-level cultivator. Just let him test his strength, and you’ll see." Gu Zhou Jian said.
Hearing that, the staff in the nearby area thought they had misheard. With such a youthful face, even if he had been cultivating since he was in his mother’s womb, he wouldn’t have reached the Bone Forging Realm.
It wasn’t their fault for their lack of judgment because, after all, cultivators in the Bone Forging Realm in this era were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, extremely scarce.
Many of them had never actually met a cultivator at that level before. Moreover, they’d always heard that high-level cultivators were usually old men or old women, not young people.
Tang Hao, on the other hand, was very perceptive. He could recognize Jun Wu Xiao as a high-level cultivator, although he couldn’t accurately guess his realm because it was beyond his imagination.
This was because he had the opportunity to interact with seven Bone Forging Realm cultivators, so he could see their demeanor, style, and aura, allowing him to make an educated guess.
Jun Wu Xiao placed his hand on the strength testing machine and pressed lightly, and the number immediately jumped to seven tons. The staff members were stunned, their eyes wide open. They began to consider the possibility that this old man might love to dress up to look younger.
The staff members immediately bowed their heads and said:
"We apologize for misjudging you, Senior. Please, come inside."
"You weren’t wrong. After all, I do look incredibly young and handsome." Jun Wu Xiao said.
His target for this statement wasn’t them but Gu Zhou Jian. It was a blatant act of showing off.
Of course, Gu Zhou Jian recognized his intention and snorted:
"As if I didn’t know you’re handsome. Stop showing off, it’s really annoying."
"Oh, come on, I was just joking. Can’t you just play along for a bit?" Jun Wu Xiao said.
Hearing this, she replied:
"Oh my god, from a young age until now, I’ve never seen anyone as handsome as you. That beauty of yours can topple nations, making everyone fall for you. Men and women, young and old, just seeing you makes them want to faint before your magnificence."
Jun Wu Xiao couldn’t bear it anymore and quickly covered her mouth with his hand, saying:
"Stop it, stop it. Your compliments are making me cringe."
Gu Zhou Jian brushed his hand away (obviously, this was because he didn’t use any strength, as she didn’t have the power to do so), and laughed:
"Hehe, do you want me to keep praising you? I can write an entire piece praising you from morning till night, loud enough for the whole world to hear. How about that, my great god?"
Imagining a scenario where he had to constantly listen to such compliments, his face turned dark. If his friends heard this, he would surely be teased for a long time. He said:
"Alright, alright. I beg you, please don’t do that."
"What if I still do? What will you do to me?" she continued.
Jun Wu Xiao’s smile gradually lost its warmth, and he said:
"Hehe, then I’ll make you regret it."
"Hmph, you won’t do that. If you do, big sister surely won’t spare you." Gu Zhou Jian snorted.
Jun Wu Xiao didn’t argue. If he really did something too outrageous, the first person who wouldn’t spare him would be Yue Guang. He said:
"Hey, it’s just a joke, can you not bring Yue Guang into this?"
"From what I see, you’re stronger than her, so why do you seem scared?" Gu Zhou Jian asked.
"Scared of her? Not exactly, but at the same level, she’s just as strong as me. That’s why fighting her one-on-one is so interesting." Jun Wu Xiao said.
"So what if one day I reach the same realm as her, and we both fight you at the same time?" Gu Zhou Jian asked.
Jun Wu Xiao saw no reason to lie and honestly admitted:
"Then I would definitely lose."
"Eh, aren’t you going to talk tough at all?" she asked.
"Other things might be different, but when it comes to fighting, I prefer to face reality. If I can’t win, I can’t win. But that doesn’t mean I won’t dare to fight. Even if it’s not just two people, but a hundred people in the same realm, I would still dare to fight." Jun Wu Xiao said.
He had no illusions about his own strength. Although he was currently the top cultivator among humans, he knew he was still far from his ultimate goal. Furthermore, with the recent emergence of enemies of extreme power, he was well aware of his own position.
However, one could say he was fearless, he wasn’t afraid of death. No matter how strong the enemy, he always faced them with the utmost calm. It wasn’t that he didn’t know how to run, retreating was also part of a strategy. Running to accumulate strength and then counterattacking was a viable tactic.
As the two of them walked and talked, they didn’t notice a middle-aged man with a very gloomy expression. It looked like he had just experienced something extremely unpleasant. He accidentally bumped into Gu Zhou Jian, causing her to almost fall, while he fell to the ground.
Jun Wu Xiao quickly caught her, but instead of thanking him, she glared at him and said:
"Don’t tell me you didn’t notice the man’s presence when he was about to bump into me. Why didn’t you stop him then?"
"You already know the reason, so why are you asking?" he replied.
The reason was obvious. Even if the man had bumped into her, he wouldn’t have been able to cause her any harm, so there was no need to be concerned. But she still said:
"Couldn’t you pretend to care a little? I’m so fragile and delicate, yet you didn’t step in to help me avoid being hit."
Jun Wu Xiao openly showed his disdain. Someone who dared to jump off a cliff without protective gear dared to say that she was fragile and delicate. It was utterly absurd. He said:
"You, fragile? The gun was shot at you and you didn’t even tremble a bit, yet you shamelessly call yourself fragile and delicate."
They didn’t really care much about this incident, but the middle-aged man did.
