As if he noticed their bewilderment, Nie Yuan said once more, “Everyone, you might not know this, but the Sword Sect’s Ninth Peak’s Sword Son’s sword isn’t anyone else’s. It was the Sword Sect that handed it over to our Border Dragon City to be auctioned off.”
“Don’t tell me it was someone from the Sword Sect’s First Peak who gave it to you?” Fu Qiuchan’s eyes flickered endlessly, and she instantly guessed the truth behind it.
After all, the Sword Sect’s First Peak and the Ninth Peak had never gotten along. Now that Ye Wushuang had challenged Su Qilin, the two peaks were like enemies. Only the people from the First Peak would be able to auction someone else’s sword.
“Ms. Fu is indeed smart!”
Nie Yuan looked at her in admiration and called over many naive maids who were about 17 or 18 years old, “Everyone, if you have any requests, feel free to tell them.”
Apart from Fu Qiuchan and Fu Qingqing, Yue Kun and the rest could not take their eyes off these maidservants. They had satisfied expressions on their faces. Although there were female cultivators in the sect, they were either in seclusion or cultivating outside. How could they compare to this group of women in front of them?
With that, Nie Yuan left.
Fu Qiuchan looked deeply at his departing figure, and her eyes flickered endlessly. The Xiao clan had sided with the Sword Sect a long time ago, and now they dared to openly auction the sword of the Sword Sect’s Ninth Peak’s Sword Son. Obviously, the Xiao clan supported the Sword Sect’s First Peak, so they were not afraid of the Ninth Peak.
She did not notice the coldness in Ye Chen’s eyes that was getting more intense, ‘Sword Sect’s First Peak and Border Dragon City, how dare you auction Wushuang’s sword? You guys are courting death!’
Yue Kun instructed, “Everyone, take a rest. After that, let’s check out that auction!”
“That’s right. We can also take a look at that genius’ sword.” The rest nodded to themselves.
The maidservant Ye Chen was assigned to was called Qing’er.
Qing’er led Ye Chen into the room that she had arranged beforehand respectfully. She said while breathing softly, “Immortal Master, I’ll be your personal maid from now on. You can tell me if you need anything.”
She looked at Ye Chen expectantly after saying that.
How could Ye Chen not understand what she meant? He smiled lightly, “Alright, I understand. You can leave now!”
Qing’er was stunned at first. When she saw that Ye Chen’s expression seemed sincere, she left after closing the door in disappointment.
“Looks like I have to go to that so-called auction. These people don’t deserve Wushuang’s sword!”
Ye Chen said while sitting cross-legged. His gaze was as cold as a knife, “Almost all the supreme sects in the entire Kunlun Ruins are here for the Xiao clan’s birthday celebration. I wonder if I’ll see Luo Shuiyao and Tang Jianfeng!”
At that moment, there was a knock on the closed door. Immediately after, a woman entered. It was Fu Qiuchan.
Under Ye Chen’s confused gaze, Fu Qiuchan went straight to the point, “Ye Chen, who are you exactly?”
Her gaze was sharp, and her tone was unquestionable.
In the beginning, she thought that Ye Chen was a Rogue Cultivator. Even if he was at Origin Energy, he could not attract her attention. After all, she had the Star Sect behind her, which was enough for her to look down on any outsider.
However, on the way here, she realized that Ye Chen’s tone was neither servile nor overbearing. He did not seem to be intimidated by the disciples of the upper sects at all. Moreover, he seemed to be very concerned about the various sects in the Kunlun Ruins.
This made her suspect Ye Chen’s identity again. Ye Chen was acting as if he did not know anything about the Kunlun Ruins.
Ye Chen said with a spurious smile when he met her gaze, “Would you believe me if I said that I used to be the peerless Heavenly Emperor who single-handedly suppressed and ruled all worlds?”
After interacting with her for the past few days, he had a pretty good impression of Fu Qiuchan. Although she had the pride of the Star Sect, she was not as hostile to him as Yue Kun and the rest. She would patiently explain to Ye Chen if he had any doubts.
“Your words might be useful to coax Qingqing!”
Fu Qiuchan’s eyes turned slightly cold, “Grandpa said that you came from a supreme sect and wanted me to befriend you more, but I asked other senior brothers and junior brothers and found that Ye Chen isn’t among any of the supreme sects in Kunlun Ruins. Don’t tell me that you came from the most mysterious Purple Cap Mountain?”
“Ms. Fu, knowing my identity won’t do you any good!” Ye Chen gradually stopped smiling.
Countless members of the five ancient clans had died at his hands. It could be said that he was now a target that the five ancient clans must kill. If the people of the five ancient clans learned that Fu Qiuchan was close to him, even if she was from the Star Sect, she would still be affected.
“You think I really want to know your real identity?”
Fu Qiuchan sneered and said disdainfully, “Let me warn you, don’t have any ill intentions on Qingqing. She’s destined to enter my Star Sect.”
“I’m after your sister?” Ye Chen was stunned.
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking!”
Fu Qiuchan said with great certainty, “You must’ve deliberately approached Qingqing after knowing that I was about to become a true disciple of the Star Sect because you wanted my support!”
“Ms. Fu, aren’t you being too full of yourself?” Ye Chen was speechless. He did not even care about the Star Sect, so why would he curry favor with a future true disciple of the Star Sect?
“You know very well whether I am or not!”
Fu Qiuchan frowned slightly as if she remembered something and asked again, “Also, I realized that you paid attention to the Sword Sect along the way, especially that Ye Wushuang. Can you explain that to me?”
“The reason is that Ye Wushuang is my brother. As his big brother, it’s not wrong for me to be concerned about his safety, right?” Ye Chen smiled lightly.
“Hah…”
Fu Qiuchan scoffed and could not be bothered to continue asking. She left Ye Chen’s room after saying that.
“Remember, stay away from my sister!
“Also, this is Border Dragon City where all sects gather. I advise you to keep a low profile. If you provoke the disciples of those supreme sects, even I won’t be able to protect you!”
…
“Fu Qiuchan, oh, Fu Qiuchan, your horizons are ultimately limited to the Star Sect and only this tiny Kunlun Ruins!”
After watching her leave, Ye Chen shook his head lightly, “How would you know about the Kunlun Ruins? Even if Earth was placed in the thousands of worlds, it would only be a drop in the ocean. How would you know what I’m capable of?”
At that moment, Mengmeng, who was beside him, mumbled, “Daddy, that sister is so annoying. She even said that daddy is interested in her. Mommy is much prettier than her.”
Ye Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Daddy…”
The child’s face suddenly fell. She hugged his arm tightly and said tearfully, “When can we go look for mommy and the rest? Mengmeng misses mommy, grandpa and grandma.”
“Soon. When we find your Uncle Wushuang, I’ll bring you and him to look for mommy,” Ye Chen comforted her while smiling.
…
Xiao clan’s birthday celebration was set to be in the afternoon. In the next few hours, Fu Qiuchan and the other Star Sect disciples did not stay in the inn. Instead, they went to the auction.
However, before she left, Fu Qiuchan arranged for a maidservant to keep an eye on Ye Chen’s room secretly. Clearly, she was still wary of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen smiled lightly. After casting a spell to make the maidservant hallucinate, he laid a barrier in the room and left the inn quietly.
