The enchanting figure of the head attendant, holding a small hammer, walked to the center of the display after greeting each guest on the second floor.
"Welcome, everyone," said the little girl, Zhu Yin, representing the Yue Auction. "I believe you are all familiar with the rules of the auction, so I won't elaborate further. Let's get straight to the point."
The Eastern Auction House had already begun, showcasing a series of precious items. However, Ying Wuyi's gaze was fixed not on the auctioned goods.
He had visited Sky's End Tower countless times, and this was the first time he encountered such a graceful and charming young lady. Sky's End Tower always made one feel as if they were at the ends of the earth, forgetting their true location. From common folk to celestial beings, everyone seemed to escape to that far-off place. What kind of surprises would this moon bring them?
Behind Sky's End Tower lay the Treasure Pavilion and Infinite Path. The reputation of the Ying Clan was indeed admirable; they had neither support from Daoist sects nor interference from rival factions. It was truly a blessing for common folk like him. His own cultivation was lacking, and he hoped to experience the vast territories of the Qin Empire.
Flattery existed everywhere, and Ying Wuyi had long grown accustomed to it. Yet, that disciple from Cheng Dao Sect who suddenly proposed sharing a table remained elusive in his intentions, leaving Ying Wuyi somewhat puzzled.
"Junior brother, while the Qin Empire is strong," Ying Wuyi remarked, "the Ying Clan seeks a place where one can belong. How can common folk survive without such a refuge? Heaven does not show mercy or compassion to all beings; yet as humans, we must learn to show compassion to ourselves. Can we really fight against heaven?"
"Fight against heaven?" Gu Ju raised his wine cup and offered it to Ying Wuyi. "Against heavenly beings?"
The two exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting a shared understanding as they lifted their cups together.
After sharing a toast, Ying Wuyi felt that the disciple Yuanji was not as simple as he appeared on the surface. His purpose for being there had already been guessed by Mistake. Such a disciple—ordinary as he might seem—how many would truly believe that? In any case, Ying Wuyi did not believe it.
After a while, if any good opportunities arise, if you do not mind, I can buy them for you as a gift to commemorate our meeting on this mountain. What do you think?
The young master is being polite. To be honest, I have another request during this trip. If the young master agrees, I will do my utmost to facilitate your purpose for coming here. What do you think?
If you are wondering what I might ask for, Ying Wuyi can easily guess, but not knowing your intentions leaves me somewhat uncertain about whether I should agree to Dong Lai.
Ying Wuyi took a sip and glanced at Gu, who was walking alongside the uninterested Ye You. With his level of cultivation in the Golden Period, he could easily discern that Gu was at the Peak Foundation Establishment stage. However, Gu had not made any bids despite the recently available miraculous pills for breaking through to the Golden Core stage, leaving Ying Wuyi unsure if it was due to lack of interest or inability to afford them.
Ye You seemed shrouded in a thick fog, making it hard for anyone to see through her completely. Even her companion, Second Uncle Ying Hong, could not gauge her true level. It was evident that she was a deeply concealed High Leg practitioner; such a combination suggested that she was not someone to be trifled with.
Moreover, Mistake had already guessed the purpose of Ying Wuyi's visit to Cheng Dao Sect. If he could agree to Dong Lai's request with just a word, it would be wise to accept it first. After all, no matter how unreasonable that person's request might be, it wouldn't surpass what he sought during this trip.
Thus, I shall raise a toast on behalf of my clan to honor you.
Ye You felt somewhat powerless at Gu's demeanor. For her, Tian Di Dong rarely encountered anyone she couldn't see through, yet Gu remained an enigma. From the moment she first saw him the next day, Ye You felt as if he wore a thick outer garment that concealed his true self.
It seemed that Gu was not merely wearing an outer layer; having saved her in Tiandong City felt like encountering someone who stirred her heart yet left her entrapped. When saving Tiandong City, he appeared cunning and calculating, evoking lingering fears. When luring out the Demonic Cultivator as bait, he maintained an air of mockery that left Zhang Hongyan—an experienced Transcendent Practitioner—blushing.
He spoke appropriately to whomever he met and displayed various facets of his character in different situations. If such a person could reveal himself so freely, it indicated that Gu's depth was far beyond what someone in their twenties should possess.
At this moment, as Ying Wuyi enjoyed drinks with him, Ye You found it increasingly difficult to read Gu Ben's demeanor. She was genuinely curious about what kind of person Gu truly was when all masks and burdens were stripped away; perhaps even Gu himself did not know the answer to that question.
In this journey, a task was handed to him by the Sect, and as he approached, Gu leaned slightly to the side and whispered, "Demonic Cultivator."
Ying Wuyi had just been about to exclaim in surprise when his Second Uncle, passing by, cast a silence spell on him, preventing any words from escaping his lips. After regaining his composure from the shock, he finally spoke in a low voice, "Is it true?"
