After the sword bone was taken away, the reborn elder sister went crazy killing

The disciple on duty was very considerate and prepared the compensation early in the morning.

"This is the spirit stone the academy gave to my junior sister as compensation."

Pei Zhiyi took the spirit stone, weighed it in his hand, and found it was indeed quite heavy.

"Thank you."

After taking the things, he left. Pei Zhiyi needed to rest for a few days before taking on any more tasks.

With this experience, I probably know what level of task I should take next time.

However, thinking of that mysterious man and that old monk, Pei Zhiyi felt he needed to be more careful. There were so many people stronger than him, so he needed to be more diligent in his cultivation. And the sword was a bit restrictive in a fight, so he could go to the auction house in the royal capital and see if he could find another good sword.

Thinking of this, Pei Zhiyi walked quickly towards the college gate.

Gu Xizhou had been waiting outside early. When he saw Pei Zhiyi coming out, his beautiful eyes lit up. He pulled his thick cloak closer and walked quickly towards Pei Zhiyi.

"benefactor."

Gu Xizhou looked a little worried and looked Pei Zhiyi up and down several times until he was sure that she was really not injured, and then he felt relieved.

"I learned from Jiang Wuyang that you took on a not-so-good mission. Fortunately, you returned safely."

Pei Zhiyi spread his hands and said, "It's not that difficult. It's not as difficult as I thought."

Gu Xizhou nodded slightly and stood silently beside Pei Zhiyi. "I have nothing to do today. Would you like to go to the auction and take a look?"

"Is there really an auction today?"

Pei Zhiyi originally wanted to go directly to the person in charge there to see if he could help her find a good sword, but she didn't expect that she felt sleepy and the pillow came with it.

Gu Xizhou hummed, silently moving closer to Pei Zhiyi. Seeing that she didn't object, his expression became even gentler. "The auction house in the royal capital usually holds a large auction in the next two days. Plus, I heard they found an incredible treasure, so it's bound to be very lively today."

"it is good."

This kind of auction usually requires a specific invitation. As Gu Xizhou is the imperial tutor of the royal capital, he will naturally have one. It will be much more convenient to follow him.

It turned out that saving him was the right decision.

At least it's much more convenient to do things in the royal capital.

The auction house in the royal capital is located in the center of the royal capital square, covering a very large area. The uniform golden building gives people the visual feeling of being a landowner that shines brighter and brighter.

When Pei Zhiyi arrived here, his eyes lit up a little more than usual, "Are these buildings really made of gold?"

I wanted to ask this before when I came to the capital to perform missions, but every time I left in a hurry after completing the mission, I never had the chance to come here and take a look.

"You could say that, but that's not entirely true." Gu Xizhou explained with a smile, "All of their buildings are made of top-grade golden spirit stones of excellent quality, and are reinforced with layers of formations. It can be said that they are not only magnificent, but also extremely defensive, second only to the defense of the formations in the royal city."

The defense is so strong... Pei Zhiyi suddenly had a bad idea, and he didn't know whether the indestructible attack power was stronger or his defense was stronger.

Pei Zhiyi's sword sensed his master's thoughts and moved a few times in response.

"Benefactor, let's go in."

"it is good."

Seeing Gu Xizhou coming, the reception manager came over immediately.

"The Imperial Master has arrived. Please come this way."

Gu Xizhou nodded slightly. In front of outsiders, his personality was as indifferent as ever. Apart from maintaining basic politeness, he could be said to be difficult to get along with in other aspects.

Pei Zhiyi followed Gu Xizhou inside. When she looked up, her eyes met the steward's. The steward smiled and continued to look straight ahead.

Pei Zhiyi curled his lips but said nothing.

The steward took the two of them to the third floor, which was the VIP seat. It was enough to show how much the people behind the auction house valued Gu Xizhou.

"I'll withdraw now. If you have anything else, just ring the bell and call me."

Gu Xizhou nodded and waved his hand.

In the end, only Gu Xizhou and Pei Zhiyi were left in the huge room.

"Do you know the owner of this auction house?"

"Not very familiar with him." Gu Xizhou added, "He has some connection with the eldest prince, so he is trying to please me."

Then this is understandable.

"The eldest prince?" Pei Zhiyi didn't have a strong memory for strangers, but he had a deep impression of the eldest prince. "Has the Human King not yet decided on an heir?"

"Several princes are still undergoing assessment."

This was a matter of state, but Gu Xizhou did not shy away from it in front of Pei Zhiyi.

"Then your eldest prince is not very good."

Pei Zhiyi didn’t know what was happening to the others, but if this eldest prince became the next human king, the situation of the human race would probably not be very good.

Bai Ze is blessed with the luck of the dragon and is closely related to the fortune of the royal family. Anyone who even he doesn't think highly of will basically be eliminated.

"Is it because of his performance last time?"

"Not entirely."

Bai Ze’s existence cannot be told to anyone. Pei Zhiyi doesn’t trust Gu Xizhou that much yet, so it’s naturally impossible for him to reveal this secret.

"Why do you ask? Could it be that you are very optimistic about this eldest prince?"

Gu Xizhou shook his head. "The Imperial Master is only loyal to the Human King and will not participate in political struggles. This is an iron rule."

"Then why do they all come to please you?"

Pei Zhiyi was just curious. He knew that it was useless to please Gu Xizhou, but he still tried to please him again and again. Isn't this equivalent to doing useless work?

Gu Xizhou tilted his head, looked at Pei Zhiyi's puzzled face, and smiled: "This is the complexity of human nature. The struggle for power must involve many things. They will not let go of any breakthrough."

"Alright, I'm really better off being with my sword. I just need to focus on my training."

Pei Zhiyi touched the natal sword in his arms. This guy is becoming more and more fond of acting like a spoiled child.

Gu Xizhou stared at the sword in Pei Zhiyi's arms, especially when he saw that the sword was actually rubbing against Pei Zhiyi, there was a hint of ambiguity in his deep pupils.

"The auction is about to begin. If you see anything you like, just buy it."

"What can a poor swordsman like me buy?" Pei Zhiyi touched the few things in his bag. He said he wanted to buy a new sword, but it was estimated that the remaining money would not even be enough.

In the end, she didn't think much about it. How could a poor person like her get the courage to buy things at the auction?

"Have you forgotten, benefactor?" Gu Xizhou handed his storage ring to Pei Zhiyi, "I have a lot of money, I can give it to you."

"If my benefactor likes something, just take a picture of it."

"Isn't this a bad idea?" Pei Zhiyi was actually very tempted, but he was reluctant to give, and he was soft-hearted when he received someone's help...

"Why do you worry so much, benefactor? You have saved my life many times. These are not worth a small amount of money."

Pei Zhiyi finally compromised helplessly: "I think what you said makes sense."
