"Oh, alright, since Brother Zai doesn't like Sister Qin, then I'll tell Sister Qin the truth!"
Murong Shan pouted as she spoke.
Hearing this, cold sweat instantly broke out on Murong Zai's forehead.
If these words were to reach Murong Qin and make her misunderstand that he had some kind of opinion about her, then he would be in deep trouble!
"So, Brother Zai means he likes Sister Qin?"
Murong Shan looked at him and asked.
"Not exactly!" Murong Zai was so anxious that he started sweating even more. "Anyway, I definitely don't have any objections to Senior Sister Murong Qin. The 'like' I'm talking about isn't the kind of like you're imagining. I have immense respect for Senior Sister Murong Qin, absolutely no improper thoughts, but I definitely don't have any complaints about her either!"
"Oh, okay, I understand what Brother Zai means!"
Murong Shan nodded as she spoke.
"Sister Shan, do you really understand what I mean?"
Murong Zai asked somewhat uneasily.
"Alright, since Brother Zai doesn't want to pursue Sister Qin, then I won't say anything to her. Is Brother Zai relieved now!"
Murong Shan said with a smile.
"That's for the best, that's for the best!"
Hearing this, Murong Zai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said repeatedly.
It was naturally the best thing if Murong Shan didn't mention him to Murong Qin.
Otherwise, no matter what this girl said on his behalf to Murong Qin, he probably wouldn't have a good outcome.
Seeing Murong Zai in this state, a sly look flashed in Murong Shan's beautiful eyes.
It wasn't that she didn't know Murong Zai's fear of Murong Qin. She was only doing this to prevent Murong Zai from always focusing his attention on that foxy woman, Tantai Jie.
What was so good about that foxy woman? It was just that she was a little prettier!
Moreover, that foxy woman didn't even like him. What was the point of him always pursuing her so desperately?
Every time she saw Murong Zai acting so subservient in front of Tantai Jie, she felt uncomfortable.
Today, seeing Murong Zai looking so dejected in front of Tantai Jie again, Murong Shan finally couldn't help but bring up Murong Qin to scare him.
Sure enough, with her scaring him like that, Murong Zai was almost scared out of his wits.
"Brother Zai, there seems to be something fun ahead. Let's go take a look!"
Murong Shan hooked her arm around Murong Zai's and pointed ahead as she spoke.
"Okay, okay!"
Murong Zai said quickly.
He didn't dare to offend this little girl in the slightest right now, lest she really run to Murong Qin and say a bunch of nonsense, then he would be in trouble.
...
"Husband, my relationship with Murong Zai is just that we know each other. There's nothing between us!"
Tantai Jie looked at the white-robed Chu Jianqiu and said.
She was afraid that Chu Jianqiu would misunderstand her relationship with Murong Zai after seeing the scene just now.
Therefore, after leaving, she quickly explained the matter to Chu Jianqiu.
"Jie'er, I didn't say there was anything between you and Murong Zai. Why are you so nervous?"
The white-robed Chu Jianqiu looked at her and said.
"I... I... I'm just afraid that Husband will misunderstand!"
Tantai Jie said somewhat慌乱ly.
"Jie'er, you don't have to be like this. I still believe you!"
Seeing her like this, Chu Jianqiu comforted her.
"Thank you, Husband!"
Hearing this, Tantai Jie looked at the white-robed Chu Jianqiu and said with immense gratitude.
The white-robed Chu Jianqiu smiled and didn't say much, continuing to stroll through the Xuanhuang Merchant Shop.
...
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.
The Xuanhuang Merchant Association's auction was finally officially starting.
On this day, the white-robed Chu Jianqiu and Tantai Jie arrived at the Xuanhuang Merchant Association.
At this time, there was a sea of people in front of the Xuanhuang Merchant Association's gate, and it was extremely lively.
Tantai Jie didn't squeeze through the extremely crowded front door, but instead, she and the white-robed Chu Jianqiu entered the Xuanhuang Merchant Association's VIP reception hall directly from the other side's VIP channel.
This VIP hall was extremely large and luxurious.
Each of the enormous hall pillars was made of incredibly precious ancient wood.
The hall floor was covered with an incredibly luxurious red carpet.
This red carpet was also made of extremely precious materials.
In the enormous hall, tables were scattered around in a staggered fashion.
These tables were filled with all kinds of delicacies.
Next to each table, there were also beautiful maids serving.
In the hall, there was also a high platform.
On the high platform, a group of beautiful women were currently dancing gracefully.
Next to them, there were also some musicians playing melodious tunes.
At this time, there were already many people in the hall waiting.
Just as the white-robed Chu Jianqiu and Tantai Jie were about to find a place to sit down in the hall, a voice rang out behind them.
"Fairy Tantai, long time no see!"
Hearing this voice, the white-robed Chu Jianqiu and Tantai Jie turned around to look, only to see that there were several martial artists standing behind them.
These martial artists had also just entered the hall from the VIP channel.
Upon seeing Tantai Jie, they walked over towards them.
Among these martial artists, the leader was a tall and slender youth with an extraordinary bearing.
This youth exuded a rather powerful aura. Judging from his cultivation aura, he was clearly an Immortal Realm seventh level expert.
However, the youth's face was pale, and his aura was somewhat紊乱, clearly indicating that he had suffered some serious injuries.
To the youth's left stood a fair-faced woman in a plain dress, while to the youth's right stood a youth with triangular eyes.
Both the plain-dressed woman and the triangular-eyed youth possessed an Immortal Realm sixth level cultivation.
Next to the plain-dressed woman stood an extremely beautiful green-clad girl.
Upon seeing this green-clad girl, the white-robed Chu Jianqiu's expression couldn't help but freeze.
Because this green-clad girl was not unfamiliar to him. It was none other than Shen Xihan, who had left the Tianwu Continent and gone to the Southern Heaven Continent.
Next to Shen Xihan was a rather handsome youth.
These martial artists were none other than the Changsheng Sword Sect disciples who had come to the Yuling Continent's Xuanhuang Merchant Association branch to participate in the auction.
"Young Master Mo Cheng!"
Tantai Jie cupped her hands and bowed to the tall and slender youth with an extraordinary bearing.
"Miss Tian, Young Master Yi Jiang, Young Master Yu Han!"
Then, she greeted the plain-dressed woman, the triangular-eyed youth, and the youth standing next to Shen Xihan one by one.
"This is..."
Finally, her gaze landed on Shen Xihan, and a look of inquiry appeared on her face.
She was not unfamiliar with Mo Cheng, Tian Jinfei, Yi Jiang, and Yu Han, because these were all well-known martial arts geniuses of the Changsheng Sword Sect.
