Socially awkward female cultivator survives in the cultivation world through online games

Chu Yunyi was led by Hua Qi to a spot not far from the entrance of the auction house.

Her gaze fell on the huge plaque that was shining brightly in the distance, and she felt that it was so magnificent and dazzling that she could hardly open her eyes.

At this moment, she was acutely aware that she was in a field that only the wealthy were supposed to be able to enter.

A steady stream of people poured into the auction house, their figures exuding an air of grandeur.

Some of them possessed unfathomable cultivation levels, exuding a powerful aura with every gesture.

Some possessed countless spirit stones, exuding an aura of overwhelming wealth.

In short, everyone who passed by Chu Yunyi seemed to be a big shot with a great reputation.

This caused the already timid Chu Yunyi to involuntarily grab Hua Qi's sleeve tightly, and even quietly move a few steps behind him, carefully following his footsteps as they slowly moved forward.

Although Chu Yunyi had put on a mask to cover her face, her deep-seated fear was still hard to hide.

After all, meeting so many important figures all at once was incredibly shocking and unfamiliar to her, who had always been poor.

So, she kept her head down the whole way, without saying a word, holding Hua Qi's hand tightly behind him, afraid that she might attract the attention of others if she was not careful.

As the two entered the auction house, Hua Qi calmly took out a plaque made of an unknown material from his pocket and handed it to the cultivator standing guard at the door.

The monk took the plaque, examined it carefully, and then nodded, signaling that he could pass.

And so, Hua Qi led Chu Yunyi into the mysterious auction house without incident.

However, she hadn't gone far after entering the door when a noisy commotion reached Chu Yunyi's ears.

Out of curiosity, she couldn't help but turn her head to look in the direction from which the sound came, only to find that a group of people had gathered at the doorway, seemingly arguing fiercely about something.

Hua Qi, who had been by her side, also stopped abruptly and stood with her to watch this rare and lively scene.

Hua Qi's actions surprised her slightly, as she had never seen him show such keen interest in exciting events before.

However, her surprise was short-lived. She quickly calmed down, hid behind Hua Qi, and peered around with great interest.

Fortunately, after cultivating immortality, her senses became extremely sharp. Even though she was far away, she could still hear and clearly understand what was happening on the other side.

One man was seen making sarcastic remarks to another man.

"Hmph, Lin Xiaodong, what right do you, a good-for-nothing like you, have to be here?"

Standing in front of the rather handsome man was a guy with an arrogant expression, whose words were extremely harsh and unpleasant.

However, when Chu Yunyi looked closely at the handsome man, she felt no ripples in her heart, only that he was simply good-looking.

It seems that the handsome man must be Lin Xiaodong.

Faced with the other party's provocation, Lin Xiaodong looked impatient, his brows furrowed, and he coldly replied,

"Qian Sheng, stop arguing with me. I have no time to waste my breath on you."

After saying that, he was about to turn sideways and walk past the person in front of him to continue forward.

"Move aside? Hmph, if you're so capable, show me your auction house invitation. If you do, I'll naturally make way for you. Otherwise, hehe, you won't be stepping into this auction house today!"

The guy called Qian Sheng, seeing that people were trying to get around him, directly blocked Lin Xiaodong's way again, holding his head high with an arrogant and domineering air, not taking Lin Xiaodong seriously at all.
