I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Xie Xiyan sheathed his sword, calmed down, and looked remorseful.

"Master, I'm sorry, I was impulsive."

Although he had only just begun cultivating and was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, he was confident he could kill Xie Xu with a single blow, but...

Xie Xiyan observed his surroundings discreetly, knowing that the Nascent Soul stage cultivators lurking in the shadows wouldn't allow him to cause trouble.

"You have to assess the situation carefully. There's plenty of time to kill Xie Xu. You rebellious disciple, you're just reckless."

Although he can only communicate with his master through telepathy in the ring now, Xie Xiyan knows that his master is really angry.

"Master, if you're angry, just be angry. Don't shout so loudly, it's giving me a headache."

Xie Xiyan rubbed his head and muttered something.

Ling Xuzi choked: "You, you, you, you rebellious disciple, you do wrong and you still insist on doing it."

"What's wrong with what I did? I haven't even done it yet, Master. Even if you're an elder, you can't just label people like that, you know?"

Xie Xiyan spoke innocently, with an irritating look on his face, and then asked with concern, "By the way, Master, how are you feeling?"

Ling Xuzi was somewhat relieved that his rebellious disciple still cared about his health, and he was touched. Ling Xuzi softened his tone and said, "I don't even care about a mere forbidden spell. Your most important thing now is to take care of your own safety. This Lan City is not like..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Xiyan muttered under his breath, "If there's no problem, why did you sleep for three months? Master, you should really change your stubborn habit."

"What do you say?"

"I don't have a master," Xie Xiyan said with an awkward laugh.

"Hmph! You unfilial disciple! You talk back to your elders every day."

……

"Master? Master, are you still there? Master, I didn't mean it! Please let me explain!"

After calling out several times, Xie Xiyan discovered that his master had unilaterally cut off contact.

In the VIP room, Xie Xu made a few more sarcastic remarks, but when he found Xie Xiyan silent, he sneered inwardly, thinking that a coward is a coward, all he can do is draw his sword to scare people, how boring.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, the people around turned their attention to the auction stage.

At this moment, Hongxiao was ready to strike the hammer for the third time. One strike would decide the outcome, and with the final strike, the Xuanbing Flower would belong to Xie Xu of the Xie family.

Xie Xiyan clenched his fists secretly. Although his master said he was fine, forbidden spells are not so easy to break, especially since his master was a soul. He had already consumed too much energy for him in the ruins last time.

Even if Master can undo it himself, it will consume a lot of soul power. Master's soul is already thin, what if it dissipates if he is not careful?

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough spirit stones to compete with Xie Xu, but...

Thinking of this, he grinned, his eyes sharp. He couldn't touch him inside the auction house, but he could surely do it outside, right?

"Ten high-grade spirit stones."

Hearing the sound, Hongxiao, who was about to strike the hammer, froze, then smiled charmingly and looked in the direction from which the sound came. A maid was holding up the number fifteen card.

"Room number fifteen, ten high-grade spirit stones, any friends willing to bid higher?" After asking once, the gavel was struck.

"Ten high-grade spirit stones once! Ten high-grade spirit stones twice! Ten high-grade spirit stones three times! Sold! Congratulations to the friend in room number fifteen for winning the Mystic Ice Flower."

At this moment, the crowd below the stage erupted in uproar and began to discuss among themselves. How dare this person snatch the auction item from the eldest young master of the Xie family in public? Has he gone mad?

Everyone knows that the Xie family is one of the four great families of the Northern Spirit Continent. Now, the most talented third young lady of the Xie family has become a disciple of the peak master of the Xuanmiao Sect. With the Xuanmiao Sect backing the Xie family, this person is probably in grave danger.

Judging from the sound of the price increase, it must have been a young girl. It's a pity that she's so young and has already offended someone she shouldn't have.

The group, who were feeling regretful, instantly calmed down when they saw that number 15 was sitting in the VIP area upstairs.

They should just keep quiet.

Nonsense! Who sits in the VIP area? Those are the extremely wealthy and powerful. How could small fry like them compare?

The crowd pursed their lips and quietly watched the spectacle unfold. Some even took out snacks and ate them with relish, looking like they were on the front lines enjoying the show.

Xie Xiyan looked up at room number fifteen. Because of the special curtains separating the rooms, ordinary people could not see inside from the outside.

But he could. He closed his eyes, then opened them again, his obsidian-like eyes now gleaming with golden light.

His Aurora Eyes have now reached the third level, which is just enough to penetrate this privacy screen.

Xie Xiyan looked around for a while, but didn't use his Aurora Spirit Eye on the room. Instead, he glanced at the structure of the VIP area of ​​the Golden Radiance Auction House and secretly remembered which corridor Xie Xu would come out through after the auction.

"Kid, you're curious, why don't you take a look at what the girl inside looks like?"

"Is it a good habit to casually look at other people? What's the difference between that and peeping? I may be curious, but I don't have a penchant for spying on girls."

After saying that, Xie Xiyan felt a surge of disdain for his master, as if he already knew what was going on: "If I really saw it, wouldn't I be scolded to death by you, old man, plus ten or fifteen days of hellish training?"

"Haha! As expected of my good disciple, you have a good understanding."

Inside room number ten.

Xie Xu stared intently at room number fifteen through the curtains. Who dared to humiliate him in public? He wanted to see which bastard was it.

"Young master, we couldn't find out."

Xie Xu glared at the servant in front of him, but didn't lose his temper. It was expected that he hadn't found out, since the first rule of Jinhui Auction House was to protect the privacy of its guests.

"How many spirit stones did you bring today?"

"Reporting to Young Master, twenty thousand high-grade spirit stones."

"Alright, alright!" Xie Xu chuckled a few times.

He wanted to see just how rich that woman was, so he wouldn't have to come crying to him after he snatched the items she wanted from the auction.

but……

Xie Xu recalled that clear, cool voice from just now, and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips. If it were a beauty, it wouldn't be so bad...

Inside room number 15.

Yun Qingyi put the Xuanbing Flower that had been delivered into her bracelet, her eyes narrowed with delight.

Seeing her older sister happy, Yun Qingrou also squinted her eyes happily. So her older sister liked these cool and aloof flowers? She would go and get some for her older sister in the future.

The auction has now reached the third item. The second item was a fifth-grade Golden Core pill, but for Yun Qingyi and Yun Qingrou, who have no bottleneck in advancing to the Golden Core stage, this item was dispensable.

"Today's third item is a small flying boat. This flying boat can accommodate four people. Although it is relatively small, it only requires fifty low-grade spirit stones to activate, making it an absolute bargain! Alright, without further ado, one hundred mid-grade spirit stones, with a minimum increment of ten mid-grade spirit stones. Let the auction begin!"

As soon as Hongxiao finished speaking, people rushed to bid.

Yun Qingyi sat there listlessly. Fifty low-grade spirit stones? She remembered that when the four elders arrived, each of them had thrown several hundred high-grade spirit stones into the flying boat's groove. Compared to that, it was indeed quite a bargain.

But even though it was a good deal, she didn't lack spirit stones.

Soon, the flying boat was sold to room number fourteen next to her for fifteen high-grade spirit stones.

The fourth item was brought to the stage.

Hongxiao looked at the dark stones on the tray and, unusually, didn't say much before starting to bid.

"Everyone knows about this item. If you see one you're interested in, you can bid. The starting price is ten high-grade spirit stones, and the minimum increment is five high-grade spirit stones. Bidding begins!"

Yun Qingyi, who had been staring at the dark stone, finally perked up, her eyes sparkling.

"One hundred high-grade spiritual stones."

"What? Someone actually bid on this dark, unremarkable rock?"

"Could it be that number 15 has spirit stones to burn? He's being so generous."

"This stone has been sitting in the auction house for several years. It's a good thing that it's finally being sold, but they're really treating people like suckers! A broken stone with a starting bid of ten high-grade spirit stones."

The people in the audience whispered among themselves, discussing the matter amongst themselves.
