Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building
Chapter 682: One Arrow Shatters Two People’s Hearts
The apricot grove is quiet under the waning moon, and the lights are out; the clock stops and the noise is silent, and my heart is fading.
In Yaoyu Pavilion, Wan Ning actually started bidding. She did it on her own initiative without any warning or consultation with anyone. Moreover, she raised the price directly from five million spiritual treasures to ten spiritual jades. She was the only person bidding on the third and fourth floors.
The old fortune teller's expression changed slightly, and Shen Yichen became even more confused.
"Wan Ning, what's the use of that thing?"
Shen Yichen thought Wan Ning knew!
"How would I know? My grandfather and I don't want to owe you a favor. I took this photo for you, and you have to pick herbs for my grandfather. And this is the exchange condition, you have to agree!"
Ji Xuanyan in black frowned slightly and glanced at the old fortune-teller, but the old fortune-teller did not react at all.
"Wan Ning, are you kidding? Why do I need that thing?"
"Brother Gua, listen, that thing is yours now, it's not my fault!"
In Yaoyu Pavilion, no one really raised the price, because that thing was the same as Shen Yichen. Although it might be promising in the future, it was really a waste now. Not to mention, from this point of view, this thing was destined to be with Shen Yichen!
The people at Yaoyu Auction House were just a little surprised, but not disappointed, because they really made a lot of money tonight.
What about Brother Ye? He was not disappointed, but rather a little excited and expectant. He also wanted to know what was inside. As for the money, he, like Shen Yichen, had no clear concept.
Shen Yichen wanted to argue again, but the last item was being auctioned in Yaoyu Pavilion. This time even Ji Xuanyan in black was moved, because the last item was actually the Ji family's Qiankun jade pendant!
Things in the world are truly marvelous. Murong Lunbo and Helian Xiaoyue originally agreed to exchange the Demon Emperor's sacred bones for the Qiankun Jade Pendant. Now the exchange has really taken place, but it is an exchange with people all over the world. The objects remain the same, but the hearts are different!
Helian Xiaoyue no longer needs the Qiankun Jade Pendant, and Murong Lunbo does not need the Demon Emperor's Sacred Bone either. But now, these two people simultaneously put the things in their hands into Jianying's chaos, perhaps just to stir up a thousand huge waves!
"Yaoyu Auction House, you have gone too far this time!"
Ji Xuanyan in black was not polite at all and interrupted the auction directly.
The starting price was one million spiritual treasures, and before anyone dared to bid, the sound of a piano began to play.
Even if Ji Xuanyan in black didn't say it, Ji Qingli would have said it. At this moment, he was looking at the Qiankun jade pendant on the auction table with an angry face.
Of course, there were many, many people in Yaoyu Pavilion who gloated over other people’s misfortune, and there were also people who wanted to compete with the Ji family!
There was a person crying in Yaoyu Pavilion, and that was Murong Ruoxi, because that was her engagement token.
Murong Ruoxi didn't know what her father meant by this. Did he break the contract? Was he desperate? Or was he forced to do it? One thing was certain, her engagement must have changed, and in the eyes of the heroes of the world, it was the Murong family who took the initiative to break the contract!
"Dad doesn't want me and Idiot to fall in love? Why? Why? Why... No, no, Dad must have been forced. He must have had his own reasons!"
The Painting Saint looked at Murong Ruoxi, who was sitting on the ground with tears in her eyes. He felt so distressed. She had gone through so much trouble to meet him, but the result was like this!
The Painting Saint knew Murong Ruoxi's thoughts. She really only wanted to meet him once, and she would be satisfied! But...
"Hey, little girl, I didn't like your father when he was young. He was too cruel and vicious. I didn't expect that after so many years, he hasn't changed at all and even treats his own daughter like this!"
"Master, my father loves me. I know he loves me, but why doesn't he accept the person I love?"
"Silly girl, there is one thing I have never told you. Murong Rongqing became the head of the family with the help of the Ji family!"
After the Painting Saint finished speaking, he didn't want to say anything else, because he felt in his heart that Murong Rongbo's purpose in doing this might not be simple. He definitely had the intention of revenge, but there might be other purposes as well!
Of course Shen Yichen was also depressed!
Isn't this action of Murong Yanbo announcing to the world that he and Murong Ruoxi have broken off their engagement? And it also trampled on their engagement!
Shen Yichen always thought that he was now a wanderer and was not worthy of Murong Ruoxi. However, when Shen Yichen learned that Youzhou had a new owner, he did not feel so much pressure about this relationship and even felt that it was God's will.
Now that their identities and circumstances are equal, can't he and Murong Ruoxi just become a pair of wild mandarin ducks in the martial arts world? There's nothing wrong with that!
Alas, Shen Yichen also shed tears. At this time, the Qiankun Jade Pendant was auctioned. Murong Rongbo seemed to convey a message to Shen Yichen alone, which was to let him stay away from Murong Ruoxi. Shen Yichen was not stupid, of course he understood it.
The Qiankun jade pendant on the auction table was like an arrow, piercing the hearts of both Shen Yichen and Murong Ruoxi at the same time. Although it was an invisible arrow, it was more powerful than the shocking Guixin Arrow not long ago, and it easily shattered the hearts of the two lovers!
Shen Yichen knows the sea of knowledge,
"Hey, Chichen, good things take time, don't lose heart!"
Sister Qing was also in pain. Shen Yichen and Murong Ruoxi's love was not blessed by their parents. What about her and Shen Yichen? I'm afraid even God wouldn't bless them!
Ji Xuanyan in black didn't pay attention to Shen Yichen. What made her angry now was that Yaoyu Auction House dared to auction the Ji family's treasure. After she said that, she left the private room.
Ji Qingli did not leave, because he had no connection with Yaoyu Auction House. All he could do was to bid for the Qiankun Jade Pendant. As for Yaoyu Auction House, it might be another goal of his conquest of the world, a very certain goal!
Shen Jinfei didn't know much, she didn't even know why Shen Yichen was suddenly so sad, but she just quietly did her job at the moment, helped Shen Yichen up and sat him down at the table, and at the same time quietly poked the old fortune teller to let him speak.
As a result, the fortune teller said:
"Boy, I agree to the exchange that Wan Ning discussed with you. If you help me get the Nine Revolutions Golden Soul Grass, I may be able to help you!"
Shen Jinfei was so angry that she glared at the old fortune teller fiercely!
"The bad woman is right, Brother Gua, you really don't deserve Murong Ruoxi's love. You're so depressed after encountering such a small setback. I look down on you!"
It was the first time that Wan Ning agreed with what Ji Xuanyan in black said.
Shen Yichen was not in a state of despair, he just felt as if he was being suffocated by an invisible force!
There was a lot of noise in Yaoyu Pavilion. People on the first and second floors were having heated discussions. Of course, they were all talking about the Qiankun Jade Pendant. No one mentioned Shen Yichen and Murong Ruoxi.
The third and fourth floors were isolated. When the sound of the piano rang out, the curtains fell. Of course, it was targeting Ji Xuanyan in black, but they were also afraid of other problems.
So Shen Yichen didn't have the chance to talk to Murong Ruoxi now. In fact, Shen Yichen hadn't thought about what to say, so how should he start? He was just feeling difficult, but Murong Ruoxi was in a dilemma at the moment, and must be more uncomfortable than him.
Shen Yichen wanted to comfort Murong Ruoxi, but how could he say it?
Let’s talk about Murong Lunbo. He was drinking tea and smiling, but that smile was very cold!
“Ji Qingyun, hehehe…hahahaha…how about it, are you satisfied with this move of mine?”
The sound of piano was melodious in Yaoyu Pavilion. The tenth auction item exceeded everyone's expectations and was something no one had expected. It was truly a stone that caused a thousand ripples!
Ji Xuanyan in black came back soon. Although her expression was solemn, she was not angry, which made the old fortune-teller very strange.
"This, this isn't your doing, is it?"
The old fortune teller had to suspect that Ji Xuanyan in black was pretending just now.
"Tsk, whatever you think!"
Ji Xuanyan in black was too lazy to pay attention to the old fortune-teller. Instead, she looked at Shen Yichen and whispered:
"Hey, this is a bit hard for my brother Chen. Brother Chen, don't be sad, this is an unprovoked disaster for you!"
Shen Yichen looked up at Ji Xuanyan in black and said coldly:
"Are you planning on hiding this from me?"
"How dare you look at Sister Yan with such eyes? Be careful or I will retaliate against you. Actually, there is nothing to hide. Someone in the Ji family is protecting Yaoyu Auction House, and he is a member of the Ji family's royal family. Sister Yan has no choice but to blame your father. Back then, the Ji family did not agree to use the Qiankun Jade Pendant as an engagement token, but your father insisted on doing so, which angered everyone. Now that the Qiankun Jade Pendant is returning to the Ji family in this way, perhaps this is the best way!"
Shen Yichen smiled coldly and shook his head!
"You're still lying to me at this time. If you don't agree in your heart, how can anyone persuade you? Not to mention using force to pressure you. You've seen my Qian Yuan Pei, and it's already activated. You want me to activate the Kun Yi Pei as well, right? I did what Ji Xuanfeng couldn't do. Are you curious?"
Ji Xuanyan in black's expression changed. This was the first time she had such a change: three parts surprise, three parts curiosity, three parts joy, and one part inexplicable!
"Oh, brother Chen, you have so many secrets, and you know how to hide them on purpose. That's good, very good. Sister Yan is very satisfied with your performance!"
Ji Xuanyan in black didn't care about Shen Yichen's anger at all. Instead, she sat down, poured a cup of tea for Shen Yichen, and took the initiative to bring it to Shen Yichen's mouth.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Shen Yichen was roaring.
"Drink this cup of tea first, and Sister Yan will tell you slowly!"
Ji Xuanyan in black had smiles in her eyes.
Shen Yichen drank it all in one gulp helplessly!
"Tell me, you better not lie to me!"
"Sister Yan is just a little curious about what the Ji family's Qiankun Jade Pendant looks like. Of course, everyone in the Ji family is very curious. You are the first person in the Ji family in thousands of years who can make the Qiankun Jade Pendant change. Aren't you curious yourself?"
"you you……"
Shen Yichen looked at those smiling eyes and was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
Ji Xuanyan in black ignored Shen Yichen and said to the fortune-teller:
"None of you three are allowed to tell anyone about what happened today. If the Ji family gets to know, Brother Chen will really die!"
