Lin Yun was also curious about what kind of female Elf would be singled out for auction.
If Lin Yun wanted to investigate, he could simply release his divine sense, but doing so would likely get him expelled from Hundred Fragrance House immediately.
As the time for one incense stick to burn neared its end, a large crowd of cultivators had gathered below the stage.
“Brother, look! It’s that Wu Jun!” Wu Yue pointed in a direction.
“It’s really him!” Wu Chengtian’s expression changed instantly.
Lin Yun followed Wu Yue’s gesture and also spotted Wu Jun’s figure.
Beside Wu Jun was another young man, chatting and laughing with him.
“What bad luck, running into him even here,” Wu Chengtian said, his face darkening.
As they looked at Wu Jun, he seemed to sense their gazes and suddenly turned to face the four of them.
When Wu Jun saw Lin Yun and the others, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
Wu Jun said something to the young man beside him, then walked toward them alone.
“Brother, Wu Jun is coming over,” Wu Yue and Wu Qing said, their faces uneasy.
“Private fighting is forbidden in Hundred Fragrance House. He wouldn’t dare attack me here. No need to worry. Straighten up your expressions, don’t let him look down on us,” Wu Chengtian said, standing tall.
Wu Yue and Wu Qing quickly nodded, adjusting their expressions.
In a moment, Wu Jun reached the four of them.
“Wu Chengtian, what a small world. I didn’t expect to run into you here. I had important matters during the day and didn’t have time to deal with you, but I’ll have plenty of time later,” Wu Jun said with a smug smile.
“Wu Jun, don’t push it too far,” Wu Chengtian warned coldly.
“Haha, I’m pushing it, so what? You’re nothing but an outcast expelled from the Wu clan. Do you think you’re still the same as before?” Wu Jun laughed loudly.
“You…” Wu Chengtian’s face grew even darker.
Faced with Wu Jun’s mockery, Wu Chengtian found himself unable to retort.
Wu Jun turned to Lin Yun, smiling, “Kid, you’re here too. Didn’t you try to stand up for Wu Chengtian earlier? Let me tell you, just for that, I’ll make sure you die miserably! I may not be able to kill Wu Chengtian, but I can certainly kill you!”
“Wu Jun, you dare!”
Hearing Wu Jun’s death threat, Wu Chengtian could no longer contain his anger. He rushed forward, grabbing Wu Jun.
This was, after all, a family matter, a private grudge of Wu Chengtian’s family. If Wu Jun wanted to kill Lin Yun over this, it was something Wu Chengtian absolutely couldn’t tolerate!
The commotion drew the attention of many nearby cultivators, who began to gather and watch.
“Isn’t that Young Master Wu Jun from the Wu clan of Kaiyang Domain? He’s actually in a conflict? Oh, it seems the one he’s clashing with is Wu Chengtian, who was expelled from the Wu clan!”
“Oh? The Wu clan of Kaiyang Domain? I’ve heard of them.”
…
Murmurs arose around them, with Wu Jun and Wu Chengtian recognized by some cultivators from Kaiyang Domain.
“Wu Chengtian, take your filthy hands off me!”
Wu Jun pushed Wu Chengtian’s hand away, saying, “Private fighting is forbidden here. If you want to fight me, Hundred Fragrance House has a dedicated arena for duels. We can go there later for a match! As I said, I’ll suppress my realm to your level. How about it?”
Just as Wu Jun finished speaking, the red-robed man on the stage began a countdown, signaling the auction was about to start.
“Wu Chengtian, I still have to accompany an important guest to watch this female Elf auction. I’ll come find you later. You have plenty of time to decide whether to accept my challenge. With so many people witnessing our conflict, if you don’t accept, you’ll lose all face!” Wu Jun said with a mocking smile.
With that, Wu Jun walked back to his friend.
After Wu Jun left:
“Brother, he has no intention of letting this go. He’s simply too much!” Wu Yue said angrily.
“He wants to come after me, I’m not afraid. At worst, I’ll lose face. But I’m worried he’ll target Brother Lin Yun,” Wu Chengtian said through gritted teeth.
Wu Chengtian hadn’t expected that just because Lin Yun spoke up for him during the day, advising Wu Jun to let things go, Wu Jun would want to kill Lin Yun.
Lin Yun patted Wu Chengtian’s shoulder, “When a problem comes, I’ll face it. I’m not a pushover. If he thinks he can treat me like one and wants to kill me, he’ll pay a price.”
