Transcending the Magic Era: The Supreme Female Archmage

Chu Qiuchi looked at his own words, which silenced everyone, and couldn't help but feel a little smug: This feeling of "being the only one sober while everyone else is drunk" and shipping couples up close is just too great.

"Ahem, are you back to your senses? It's almost time, let's go to the auction." Seeing that Puyang Minghui was about to speak, Chu Qiuchi quickly held up a finger, "It's something that can only be understood, not explained!"

Seeing this, Puyang Minghui muttered under his breath, "So mysterious."

……

The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce was bustling with activity, with a constant stream of people coming and going.

"Sis, there are so many people today, at least twice as many as when we came before."

"That's right. The auctions held by the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce are always the grandest, with the most precious and rarest items in Fran City, and of course, the most expensive." Puyang Minghui looked at Chu Yichen smugly, "Yichen, are you prepared to go bankrupt?"

Chu Yichen lightly tapped her head. "If I go bankrupt, I'll pawn you at the auction house. Aren't you priceless? It'll be perfect to send you to the museum to showcase your value."

"Chu Yichen, you bastard, you hit me on the head again!" Puyang Minghui was so angry that she raised her hand to hit him back, but Chu Yichen quickly ran away, and the two chased each other through the crowd.

"Chu Yichen, you stop right there! I swear I won't rest until I beat you up today!" Puyang Minghui had just finished her boastful words when her scream rang out the next second: "Ah!!!"

"Minghui!!"

She ran too fast and tripped on her skirt, quickly falling towards the ground. The others tried to help, but it was too late. Just as she was about to make contact with the ground, suddenly, a leg rose up from above and caught her safely.

Puyang Minghui hugged the leg, patting her chest with lingering fear, "Thank goodness, that was close! I was so scared! I almost landed face-first."

Taking a few deep breaths, Puyang Minghui looked up and said, "Thank you... for... saving me..." Her voice trailed off, her face flushing red, and she inwardly screamed like a groundhog: Ahhhhh, so cool! Ahhhhh, I was so embarrassed!

The man before me had sword-like eyebrows, clear and deep eyes that were also gentle, a high nose, slightly upturned corners of his mouth, and a handsome face with distinct features and smooth lines, making him look as gentle and refined as jade, with an extraordinary temperament, like a gentleman who stepped out of a painting.

He chuckled softly, his gentle gaze falling on her. "Yes, you're welcome! Now, can you let go of my leg?"

Puyang Minghui immediately let go, stammering, "N-no... I'm sorry, I didn't... notice."

"It's alright." The man smiled gently, his deep eyes looking directly at Puyang Minghui with a tender gaze that made her lower her head involuntarily, her cheeks flushing even more. The man's lips curled up slightly as he slowly reached out his hand. "Get up."

"Thank you!" Puyang Minghui slightly raised her eyes and glanced at him. In just one glance, she felt as if she were drowning in those deep eyes. Her heart raced, and she slowly placed her hand in his palm, feeling the warmth from his hand. Instantly, a surge of heat flowed through her body, and she felt as if she were on fire.

Seeing that Puyang Minghui was alright, Chu Qiuchi and the others calmly stood aside, leisurely eating melons.

"Xingyao, I think I see a little red apricot branch swaying on the wall," Chu Qiuchi teased mischievously.

Nalan Xingyao's lips curled up slightly. "Yes, I saw it too."

Chu Yichen stroked his chin, carefully examining the man. "He's not bad looking, but compared to me, he's still a little bit lacking."

Chu Qiuchi and Nalan Xingyao exchanged a speechless glance, then simultaneously looked away and rolled their eyes at him.

"Sis, are we just going to watch like this? Why don't we go over? Look at Minghui's lovesick expression, it's unbearable to look at!"

Chu Qiuchi glanced at him with a half-smile, and asked, enunciating each word clearly, "Fluttering with spring fever? Can't you bear to look?"

"Sister, sister, I was wrong, I was really wrong, so wrong!" Chu Yichen immediately raised his hand to admit defeat.

Seeing how obedient he was, Chu Qiuchi chuckled and clicked her tongue, saying, "You know what, you really have to admit, this guy looks like a top-notch warm-hearted man. Not bad, not bad, I like him."

The aura surrounding Ji Moyu instantly plummeted, his gaze as icy as he shot towards the man. The man seemed to sense this, slightly turning his head to look at him. Then, a clear look of surprise flashed in his eyes, followed by a gentle voice: "Ji Moyu?"

Chu Qiuchi, Chu Yichen, and Nalan Xingyao were immediately dumbfounded: Oh wow, this is actually an acquaintance?

Puyang Minghui asked curiously, "Do you know Brother Yu?"

The man nodded, a gentle smile returning to his face. "Yes, you're together?"

Puyang Minghui nodded slightly, biting her lip lightly, "Yes, together. So... shall we go together?"

"Alright, let's go." The man understood. Ji Moyu's group... wasn't that...?

The man walked up to Ji Moyu, stopped, and smiled slightly. "Ji Moyu, still the same cold and aloof person. Nothing has changed." Before Ji Moyu could speak, he turned to Chu Qiuchi, extended his hand, and said, "Six Six Great Fortune Team, Chu Qiuchi, right? My name is Song Yuze. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you." Chu Qiuchi raised her hand, and their fingertips touched lightly. Almost instantly, she felt Ji Moyu's icy gaze fixed on their clasped hands, and she couldn't help but wonder: What's wrong with this bastard now?

She looked down at their hands, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with them. Could it be... oh my god, was he jealous?

Chu Qiuchi carefully withdrew her hand, immediately feeling the coldness in Ji Moyu's eyes subside slightly. She became even more certain, while simultaneously being overwhelmed by this shocking revelation.

I was both shocked and a little emo, and scenes from the past involuntarily surfaced in my mind.

No wonder he was completely unmoved by her flirting and avoided her at all costs; it turns out he simply doesn't like girls. It seems the "Yu" I had my eye on is no longer my "fish." Why are all the outstanding men starting to "find their own partners"?

Chu Yichen looked at Chu Qiuchi and saw that she sometimes frowned, sometimes looked sad, sometimes looked regretful, and sometimes looked a little lewd. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Her expressions are really varied.

He tugged at Chu Qiuchi helplessly, "Sis, what are you thinking about? You're so engrossed in it, we should go in now."

"Huh? We're already inside? You've already greeted everyone?" Chu Qiuchi asked, coming back to his senses.

"Yes, we've already greeted him. He suggested we go in together and get to know each other. Sister, I never imagined that Song Yuze was actually General Song's son."

"General Song's son?" Chu Qiuchi thought to himself: So that's how they met. First come, first served. In the end, I was wrong about him!
