Chapter 1667: Chapter 1667: It Really Is You!
The auction at Danxia Manor continued.
After the Gathering Yuan Pill and the Creation Pill were auctioned off, the Wood Elent Pill and the Fire Yuan Pill were also sold at high prices to two Thunder Tribulation experts.
Other experts who couldn’t purchase the Royal Grade Spirit Pill felt a tinge of regret.
However, Danxia Manor subsequently added many Superior King Grade Spirit Pills to the auction, igniting the enthusiasm of nurous Soul Severing experts on site.
Since the Creation Pill, the young Martial Artist in the second-floor VIP room remained silent and did not participate in any more bids.
Despite this, so ill-intentioned and scheming experts continued to keep an eye on that VIP room, lest the young Martial Artist leave quietly.
Two hours later, the auction ended, and two thousand experts on site rose to leave.
Huo Zhenying saw his disciple Shi Xiaolian staring blankly in the direction of the VIP room on the second floor and said, “Xiao Lian, don’t look anymore. That person has already left.”
VIP rooms have dedicated passageways for guests to leave first. Shi Xiaolian, in a trance, didn’t realize that person had left, while Huo Zhenying couldn’t sense that person’s presence.
“Left?”
Shi Xiaolian shivered, snapped back to reality, and asked Huo Zhenying, “Master, do you know where that person went? I’d like to see what he actually looks like.”
Huo Zhenying knew that once this disciple made up her mind, even he, as her master, couldn’t change it. Sighing softly, he said, “If that person were your friend, he should have revealed himself now. You won’t give up… I’ll take you to find him! While we’re at it, return the Royal Grade Spirit Pill he gave you!”
The two left the auction hall, joined by Jiang Liang, Yu Wei, and other Yunhai Sect disciples, and departed Danxia Manor. Outside Danxia Manor, they each mounted their Spiritual Artifacts and followed the aura of the young Martial Artist westward under Huo Zhenying’s lead.
“That young Martial Artist was too ostentatious at the auction and has beco a target for many experts seeking to capture and kill him. So experts are now following him, probably waiting for an opportunity to act. Let’s follow slowly too.”
After flying a distance, Huo Zhenying extended his Divine Sense, looked towards the western sky, and murmured.
Shi Xiaolian beca sowhat worried for the young Martial Artist and urged, “Master, let’s hurry and catch up! If that person isn’t really my friend, then we won’t interfere.”
Huo Zhenying nodded and accelerated forward. Soon, they saw several expert figures appear ahead; they were all Soul Severing experts who had shown their faces at the auction. Flying further, they discovered two Thunder Tribulation experts who had bid for Royal Grade Spirit Pills at the auction.
And, as Huo Zhenying had speculated, the closest to the young Martial Artist was Elder Han Dongweng and Yang Heng, the master and disciple from the Blue Sea Sect.
Previously at the auction, the young Martial Artist in the VIP room had mocked Han Dongweng, snatching a bottle of Royal Grade Gathering Yuan Pill from him and humiliating him greatly. Why would Han Dongweng let it go?
Therefore, as soon as the young Martial Artist left Danxia City, Han Dongweng and his disciple imdiately pursued him.
The young Martial Artist ahead, flying at ease on his Spiritual Artifact in the sky, seed unaware that people were eyeing him behind, wanting his life.
“Big brother…”
From a hundred feet away, Shi Xiaolian saw the familiar silhouette ahead and called out subconsciously, her eyes red with emotion.
The young Martial Artist flying ahead seed to hear her call, even at a distance, and turned his head to look back.
Shi Xiaolian vaguely saw the young Martial Artist’s face and was greatly disappointed, thinking that he was indeed, as the red-dressed girl at the auction had said, coarse-skinned and ugly, looking nothing like Fang Bai she rembered.
“It’s really not him!”
Shi Xiaolian was heartbroken, utterly despondent.
Huo Zhenying said, “Now have you given up? Let’s catch up to him, return that bottle of Royal Grade Gathering Yuan Pill, and then leave to continue our training.”
Shi Xiaolian, her heart in turmoil, murmured, “I’ll leave it to you, Master.”
Huo Zhenying sped up the chase, catching up to the young Martial Artist ahead of him in just a few breaths, flying alongside him.
Seeing this, Han Dongweng also caught up at full speed, chuckling, “Heh heh, Elder Han, it seems you’re interested in the cultivation resources on this little thief too… Alright, let’s see who can catch him first; whoever does, gets the resources on him!”
Huo Zhenying spat, “Bah! Bullying the weak is the disgusting deed only you, Han Dongweng, would do. Once I return his things, I’ll leave and not ddle in this!”
Han Dongweng sneered, “That little thief probably has quite a few Royal Grade Spirit Stones on him. I don’t believe you’re not tempted!”
Huo Zhenying snorted, ignored him, and gestured towards the young Martial Artist, telling Shi Xiaolian, “Return that bottle of Royal Grade Gathering Yuan Pill to him, and let’s go!”
Shi Xiaolian uttered an “Oh,” retrieved the bottle of Royal Grade Gathering Yuan Pill, and tossed it to the young Martial Artist, saying, “Here’s your thing back!”
The young Martial Artist, caught between two Thunder Tribulation experts, Han Dongweng and Huo Zhenying, with two more experts closing in behind, remained composed and unflustered.
“Alian, you’ve grown older, and your temper has grown with it! If you really don’t want the gift from big brother, then I’ll keep it!”
The young Martial Artist caught the Royal Grade Gathering Yuan Pill thrown by Shi Xiaolian, winked at her, and said with a grin.
The na “Alian” was Shi Xiaolian’s childhood na during her ti in the secular world; only Fang Bai and those secular friends and family called her that.
Hearing the young, ugly Martial Artist call her “Alian” and refer to himself as “big brother,” Shi Xiaolian froze.
“Big brother! Is it really you?”
Shi Xiaolian looked at the grinning and winking ugly young Martial Artist with suddenly bright and clear eyes, her mind buzzing, realizing sothing, and trembled as she spoke, “Big brother… you’ve changed your appearance, haven’t you? It’s really you, isn’t it? I’m not dreaming, am I?”
She asked repeatedly, hoping the ugly young Martial Artist in front of her wouldn’t shake his head and say “no.”
Han Dongweng and Huo Zhenying stared intently at Fang Bai’s ugly face, trying to spot any clues.
The ugly young Martial Artist laughed heartily, and his facial muscles, bones, and features began to change and shift rapidly. In just a few breaths, he transford back into the handso young figure with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, none other than Fang Bai.
“Big brother, it’s really you!”
Shi Xiaolian shouted excitedly, tears streaming down her face. Were she not mid-air, she would’ve run forward to throw herself into Fang Bai’s arms.
Huo Zhenying looked at Fang Bai and then at the tearfully excited Shi Xiaolian, feeling they didn’t seem like ordinary friends.
“Master, kill him!”
Yang Heng, seeing Shi Xiaolian’s infatuated look upon seeing Fang Bai while always ignoring him, felt jealous and angry.
