Eternal Sacred King

Now that everything was as such, Perfected Being Cang Lang naturally could not stay any longer. With a darkened expression, he turned to leave with his two disciples.

As Perfected Being Cang Lang left, the many surrounding cultivators began to disperse as well.

In a small alley, a coachman drove a horse carriage into the distance.

Outside the crowd, Ji Yaoxue and Bai Yuhan stood at the side, looking emotional after witnessing the entire auction.

Bai Yuhan said, “Did you see that? Mr. Mo played with Perfected Being Cang Lang in the palms of his hands without even making an appearance such that the latter could only leave in shame.”

Ji Yaoxue nodded as a look of appreciation flashed in her eyes. “Mr. Mo is indeed impressive. He expected all of Perfected Being Cang Lang’s reactions beforehand and dealt with it.”

Pausing for a moment, Ji Yaoxue smiled. “If father had not told me that he’s only a young man in his twenties, I would have thought that it was some scheming old man.”

“Fufu.”

“I did, but she hasn’t,” Bai Yuhan pointed at Ji Yaoxue who was beside her.

“Nopes still!”

Nian Qi still shook her head and closed the door.

“Right, she’s the third princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty! Hey…” Bai Yuhan hurriedly called out, not knowing if Nian Qi heard her.

Ji Yaoxue could not help but laugh. “Sister Bai, stop shouting. Don’t you find it embarrassing when they’re ignoring you? I do.”

Bai Yuhan pouted. “If he doesn’t want to meet us, so be it! What’s so great about him!”

After a while, the door opened once more and Nian Qi appeared in a flash, looking at Ji Yaoxue with a curious expression.

“Where’s the supreme-grade spirit weapon? We’ll leave after taking it.”

Bai Yuhan felt indignant after being rejected twice in a row by Nian Qi.

Nian Qi said, “The spirit weapon is with our young master.”

Frowning, Bai Yuhan asked, “Then what were you doing just now?”

Nian Qi bowed slightly and made an inviting gesture as she smiled gently. “Our young master invites you in.”

Both Ji Yaoxue and Bai Yuhan were stunned.

The two of them originally thought that they would never be able to meet Mr. Mo. But now, things had taken a sudden spin.

Mr. Mo’s thoughts were truly unfathomable.

Ji Yaoxue was rather calm and composed.

To her, it did not matter whether or not she met him.

However, Bai Yuhan smiled delightedly as she pulled Ji Yaoxue’s wrist while urging, “Let’s go! This is a rare opportunity!”

Under Nian Qi’s lead, the two of them entered the residence hailed as the most mysterious in the capital of Great Zhou.

The houses in the courtyard were neat and tidy and the courtyard itself was clean with the lawn neatly arranged. Not far away, there was a stone table and a couple of stone stools. Apart from those, there was nothing else.

On the shore beside Jishui River, a large black dog that was covered in scales sprawled down, seemingly resting with its eyes closed.

“Please have a seat.”

Nian Qi led the two of them to the stone table where there was already a pot of tea. It was emitting steam and a fragrant aroma.

Ji Yaoxue and Bai Yuhan sat down where they were served a cup of tea each by Nian Qi.

Bai Yuhan felt uneasy seeing Nian Qi like this.

While Nian Qi seemed like she was a maidservant on the surface, there were not many cultivators in the capital of Great Zhou that could have her pouring tea for them.

“Sister Yaoxue, it’s really you!”

Suddenly, an exclamation sounded nearby.

Ji Yaoxue turned around and saw Su Xiaoning sprinting towards her with a delighted expression.

“Xiaoning, why are you here…”

Ji Yaoxue was stunned.

Right then, another voice rang out, gentle as jade.

“Miss Ji, how have you been?”
