Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Encounter Before the Auction

The atmosphere in the room became somewhat oppressive for a while.

Zhu Fei glanced at Ji Xuanyue’s expression, but for a moment he didn’t know how to start speaking, or rather, in this sort of situation, he simply didn’t know how to comfort Ji Xuanyue.

Eventually, it was Ji Xuanyue who broke the silence first, smiling at Zhu Fei and saying,

"Alright, most of what I told you earlier were things of the past. I haven’t thanked you yet for just now."

Zhu Fei was slightly startled, but he quickly realized Ji Xuanyue was probably referring to how he had stood up for her in front of Li Chengtian and the others.

He casually shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "It was nothing. Didn’t you help me before? This time, standing up for you was only natural."

"Oh, is that so?"

Ji Xuanyue’s beautiful eyes twinkled like the bright stars of a radiant night sky, gazing steadily and unblinkingly at Zhu Fei.

Zhu Fei felt somewhat baffled under her gaze and was just about to ask why when suddenly Ji Xuanyue giggled, then with a light flick of her jade finger, a storage ring suddenly landed in the palm of Zhu Fei’s hand.

"Hehe, Brother Zhu Fei, the items inside this ring are my reward to you. I’m going to recuperate and heal for now, remember to call me on the day of the auction, okay?"

With those words, Ji Xuanyue didn’t wait for Zhu Fei’s response. Her figure flashed, and she immediately disappeared from the room.

Watching Ji Xuanyue’s vanishing figure and holding the storage ring in his hand, a warm current unconsciously flowed through Zhu Fei’s heart.

He smiled and, without hesitation, his Divine Sense directly explored inside the storage ring.

However, he hadn’t expected to be slightly startled by what he saw.

Inside the storage ring, there were a staggering two million top-grade Spirit Stones.

Besides that, there were also three low-grade Spirit Veins placed within the ring.

Thinking back to the time he, Ji Xuanyue, and Mo You had explored that so-called Hollow Jade Mine together, Zhu Fei’s feelings towards Ji Xuanyue suddenly became somewhat complicated.

It took a short while before Zhu Fei managed to collect his emotions and walked out the door.

Having decided to participate in the Beihai Auction, his goals were certainly not limited solely to the Nine-colored Lotus.

Not to mention, the top-grade flying True Artifact he had heard about was also one of the targets he aimed to compete for.

Ji Xuanyue giving him so many Spirit Stones must also have guessed his intentions.

Regardless, he, Zhu Fei, acknowledged the favor Ji Xuanyue had shown him.

...

Three days later, Zhu Fei reappeared at the door to Ji Xuanyue’s room.

During these three days, aside from his daily cultivation, Zhu Fei visited various shops in Heavenly Star City.

After some effort, Zhu Fei managed to sell many Magickal Treasures and items that he didn’t need, obtaining nearly five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones. Combined with what Ji Xuanyue gave him and what he already possessed, he now had a total of three million top-grade Spirit Stones.

At that moment, before Zhu Fei could even knock, the door to Ji Xuanyue’s room was directly opened from the inside.

Ji Xuanyue was dressed in a goose-yellow dress, her jet-black hair, cascading like a waterfall, elegantly styled up high with a green jade hairpin inserted in the middle, giving her an ethereal and transcendent air.

At that moment, she looked toward Zhu Fei and said with a smile, "Is the auction starting today?"

Zhu Fei nodded and gave Ji Xuanyue a brief glance before suddenly asking, "Ji Xuanyue, are your injuries almost healed?"

Ji Xuanyue smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes, thanks to the Pill you gave me earlier, I must thank Brother Zhu Fei here."

Zhu Fei shook his head with a smile, "It’s nothing. If you don’t have anything else to do, shall we head over now?"

"Sure." Ji Xuanyue nodded, and then she and Zhu Fei left the inn and headed straight for the Beihai Auction’s venue.

Some time later, when Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue arrived at the Beihai Auction’s venue, they bumped right into Yu Lun and Li Chengtian.

Yu Lun didn’t really react and just gave Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue a meaningful look before heading into the venue.

He was well aware that here, he really couldn’t do anything to Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue, so he didn’t bother with idle talk.

However, Li Chengtian didn’t think the same way. Upon seeing Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue, a sinister smile immediately spread across his face.

He raised his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture at Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue, then transmitted his voice to Zhu Fei, "Boy, you just wait. After this auction is over, I will make sure you and that ’bitch’ suffer!"

Zhu Fei’s gaze turned cold, and he squinted at Li Chengtian, also transmitting his voice, "Just for what you just said, I will definitely not let you go, and even with Yu Lun that old fossil by your side, it won’t change the fact of your impending miserable death."

With that, Zhu Fei no longer paid attention to Li Chengtian and moved toward the auction hall with Ji Xuanyue.

"Damn it! How dare you talk to me like this. I swear, I’ll make you two beg for death, but you won’t be able to die!"

Watching the direction where Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue disappeared, Li Chengtian’s face twisted, his eyes filled with a vengeful and brutal intent.

"Ah? Mr. Li, what’s wrong? Did someone offend you?"

Just then, a robust, androgynous male voice suddenly rang out behind Li Chengtian.

Li Chengtian turned around to see two men dressed in fiery red attire, each with a long sword at their waist, approaching him.

"Oh, it’s Chi Yangzi and Elder Hong She from the Fire Cloud Sword Sect, what a coincidence."

Clearly, Li Chengtian wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about the Fire Cloud Sword Sect, responding only indifferently.

But Chi Yangzi and Elder Hong She didn’t see it that way. They exchanged glances and eventually, Elder Hong She said:

"Mr. Li, although our Fire Cloud Sword Sect is only a Sixth Grade Sect, if you need help in the future, we can still offer some assistance."

Hearing Elder Hong She’s words, Li Chengtian seemed to remember something, and quickly asked, "Speaking of which, I heard that the death of a few of your Sect’s disciples was related to someone named Zhu Fei, right?"

Li Chengtian’s words made Chi Yangzi and Elder Hong She’s faces change at the same time.

Chi Yangzi directly asked, "Mr. Li, are you implying...?"

Li Chengtian’s face suddenly showed a cold smile, and he nodded, "Yes, the one who just provoked me was that Zhu Fei!"
