Chapter 160 - Seven Fiend Sects
Catharsis!
The disheveled old man’s first reaction was catharsis!
When he saw how Sima Zhi looked as though he had just been fed shit, the disheveled old man felt an indescribable joy and could not help but laugh along with the crowd.
With a darkened gaze, Sima Zhi glared at Room 1 with an icy stare. He grit his teeth in hatred and could only feel his cheeks burning from the surrounding laughter.
This act by the other party was no different from slapping him on the face!
“Fufu.”
A moment later, Sima Zhi suddenly laughed and asked with raised brow, “Fellow daoist, what sect are you from? I’m keen to befriend you. Could you be kind enough to show yourself?”
Even though Sima Zhi sounded polite, everyone could hear the resentment in his voice.
Under the lead of a maidservant, Su Zimo left through the back door of Room 1. Downstairs, he was arranged to a relatively quiet room for the time being.
“Yaoyan, no one knows what’s going on in that place exactly. Furthermore, I heard that fiend heirs of the six sects have brought people over. Are you sure you want to get involved in such a complicated situation?”
After Su Zimo left, Gu Xi looked at the girl in pink sternly and asked.
“Hehe.”
The girl in pink laughed. “Auntie Gu, don’t worry. I’ll definitely be fine. Furthermore, how can I miss such a grand gathering with fiend heirs of the six sects gathered.”
“You’re different from them.”
Gu Xi shook her head. “Of the seven fiend sects, only the Pure Maiden Sect has a singular heir. Furthermore, you don’t have a reliable helper. This trip is way too dangerous. Are you really counting on that Su Zimo?”
“It’s fine.”
The girl in pink waved it off. “Before this, I’ve already selected a couple of people carefully and they’re all stronger than Su Zimo. He’s just there to make up the numbers.”
“Besides, I’m the pure maiden of this generation’s fiend sects. If things go bad, I can stop in time and the fiend heirs of the other six sects won’t dare to lay a hand on me,” After pondering for a moment, the girl in pink added.
“Yes, that’s true as well,” Gu Xi nodded. She contemplated for a while. “But if that happens, the few people you take along with you might not survive.”
“If they die, so be it.”
The girl in pink scoffed coldly, “They are just hypocrites. Even though they seem righteous on the surface, their hearts are dirtier than anyone else.”
“Is Su Zimo like that too?” Gu Xi asked with a fake smile.
“Him?”
The girl in pink hesitated before shaking her head. “Indeed… he’s different from them. His gaze is clear and there’s no malice in the way he looks at me.”
The both of them continued chatting for a while and the auction ended.
There was a knock on the door outside. A maidservant pushed the door and entered. “Manager Zhou is here with Room 77’s Golden Core from Ethereal Peak. He wants to express his thanks personally.”
“Not meeting.”
Gu Xi waved it off.
This was a favor for Su Zimo so naturally, she would not meet the disheveled old man.
Gu Xi left with the girl in pink from the back.
The disheveled old man was even more surprised when he did not manage to meet anyone. He thought for a long time to no avail before finally leaving the Sky Treasure Auction House filled with doubts.
Instantly, he headed straight back to Ethereal Peak, intending to pass the ancient book to Su Zimo right away.
