Chang Qi Qi stopped and laughed, “Since it’s just a maid, why don’t Master Zhang sell her to me. The price, it’s negotiable.”
Hearing this, Kong Xuan’s heart was anxious and he immediately knelt on the ground, pleading, “Master, please don’t sell Kong Xuan out, if he leaves master, Kong Xuan would rather die.”
“Haha! It was just a joke, why are you so nervous? So it seems that you and your master really do have an untold secret.” Chang Qi Qi said.
Kong Xuan’s cheeks blushed with shame, but she didn’t dare to retort because the other party was her master’s senior brother, while she was just a slave with a low status.
A slave who dared to talk back to and with the master’s senior brother would be treasonous.
Si Xingkong stared Avray towards Kong Xuan, his pupils revealing a strange lustre as he said, “Senior brother Chang, I advise you that it would be best not to offend her, her future achievements will definitely be above yours.”
“What? Her achievements will be higher than mine?”
Chang Qi Qi’s face was full of disbelief as he once again stared at Kong Xuan, no longer just going to observe Kong Xuan’s figure and beauty.
Chang Qi Qi was surprised to find that it was impossible to see through Kong Xuan’s true cultivation, and could only roughly deduce the level of Kong Xuan’s cultivation with the eye power he had accumulated over a long period of time.
Moreover, Chang Qi Qi was certain that Kong Xuan’s cultivation was definitely far inferior to his.
What did this mean?
“The gong method she cultivates is even more superior …… no, much more superior than the gong method I cultivate.” Chang Qi Qi said in a shocked voice.
Only when Kong Xuan cultivated a gong method that was even more superior than the one Chang Qi Qi cultivated was Chang Qi Qi unable to see through her cultivation.
Chang Qi Qi felt very miserable, he was at least a talented inner palace cadet, a second best genius, but his cultivation technique was even inferior to that of a servant girl.
Chang Qi Qi pounced over and grabbed Zhang Ruochen’s lapel, saying: ”Zhang Ruochen, don’t bring this to bully people, what I cultivate is also a Spirit level mid-grade gong method, could it be that you gave your maid to cultivate a Spirit level upper-grade gong method? Or even a ghost level technique?”
The Kong Xuan Sacred Canon that Kong Xuan cultivated was more than ghost level, it was a legendary king level technique.
If Zhang Ruochen said it, Chang Qi Qi would have to cry and faint.
Si Xingkong’s sternness was overpowering, and seeing Kong Xuan’s body emitting a faint holy power, his heart was slightly shocked as he said, “Senior Brother Zhang has really spared no effort in cultivating his maid, even the Semi-Sacred True Liquid has given her quite a lot of it, hasn’t he?”
“It’s true that I still can’t hide it from Eldest Senior Brother’s eyes.”
Zhang Ruochen laughed, “Kong Xuan’s natural talent is very good, so naturally, we need to cultivate her more, or else we’d be wasting her cultivation talent.”
Si Xingkong had already seen through Kong Xuan’s cultivation and said thoughtfully, “Her martial cultivation should be at the middle extreme level of the Xuanji Realm. However, I feel that her strength, which already exceeds many Xuan Extreme Realm Grand Circle martial artists, has a chance to enter the Xuan Ranking. If she were to break into the Nine Extremities Tower, she should be able to break through the fourth floor. Perhaps, I have underestimated her.”
“There’s no heavenly reason! A maid’s natural talent is so much more powerful than me, how else can I live?”
Chang Qi Qi pounced on her again, stretching out her hands to strangle Zhang Ruochen’s neck.
Zhang Ruochen hurriedly performed his stance and dodged far away, laughing, “Eldest Brother and Chang Qiqi, you guys came to my cultivation mansion, you wouldn’t just come to see a maid, right?”
Chang Qi Qi looked a little indignant and said, “Of course not.”
Si Xingkong said, “Tonight, the Heavenly Demon Martial City will be holding a grand auction, is Senior Brother Chang interested in going to see it together? It is said that legendary spatial treasures will appear at the auction, it is really something to look forward to.”
Zhang Ruochen’s heart stirred and he secretly said, “It seems that Pavilion Master Lei has really made a painstaking publicity effort in order to raise the value of those five remnant spatial treasures.
The five remnants should be able to fetch a considerable price.
Zhang Ruochen, Kong Xuan, Si Xingkong, and Chang Qiqi, the four of them travelled together to attend the auction, and had only just stepped out of the Cultivation Mansion when they saw a group of Inner Palace trainees walking head on.
Among that group of Inner Palace trainees, there were a few familiar faces, almost all of them were princes, grandchildren, and nobles, and the Inner Palace Academy could be said to be a faction of its own.
Even Chen Xi’er and Huang Yichen were among them.
However, the one walking at the very front was a handsome and dashing man in his twenties, looking like a man with clear eyebrows and a tall and handsome figure, with a faint aura of arrogance on his body.
Those other Inner Palace trainees were like stars surrounding the man in the centre, showering him with compliments.
“Duke Yan, worthy of being the top talent of the Yan Clan, he really does have an extraordinary instrument, a handsome divine abundance that we can only look up to.”
A rather pretty Inner Palace trainee looked at Yan Yunyue with adoring eyes, as if she were a nymphomaniac, almost on the verge of taking the initiative to throw her arms around him.
Right at this moment, someone saw Zhang Ruochen and the others who had just stepped out of the mansion and immediately called out, “Mr Yan, that one is County Lord Smoky Dust’s fiancé, our Heavenly Demon Ridge’s Heaven’s Pride, Zhang Ruochen.”
“What proud son of heaven, who dares to call themselves a proud son of heaven in front of Prince Yan?” Qiu Lin said coldly.
Qiu Lin was the second expert of the Inner Palace Academy, but at this moment, he was like a follower, walking behind that one Yan Gongzi.
Some of the other Inner Palace scholars followed along in agreement.
“Duke Yan, with his world-class cultivation, is the true pride of the heavens.”
“Although Zhang Ruochen and Eldest Senior Brother are very strong, there’s still a considerable gap between them and Sir Yan.”
……
Huang Yichen smiled coldly, in an unhappy mood.
Because, that one Yan Gongzi, Yan Yunyue, was a supreme expert that Chen Xi’er had specially invited to the Sky Demon Ridge, an existence that was quite at the top of the 《Earth Ranking》, moreover, he was also Chen Xi’er’s suitor.
Huang Yichen naturally understood Chen Xi’er’s purpose of inviting Yan Yunyi to Sky Demon Ridge. Wasn’t it because she wanted to use Yan Yunyi’s hand to suppress Zhang Ruochen. Thus proving that her vision was higher than her own.
Therefore, Huang Yichen’s heart was very worried, fearing that Zhang Ruochen would be bullied by Yan Yunyi because, with Zhang Ruochen’s current strength, it was definitely impossible for him to be Yan Yunyi’s opponent.
Chen Xi’er’s move was not just to humiliate her, but also Zhang Ruochen.
Huang Yichen already knew that Zhang Ruochen’s relationship with Chen Xi’er had broken down, and her mood had been happy, but now, she was worried. Chen Xi’er’s heart of revenge was very strong and would definitely not let Zhang Ruochen go.
When Chen Xi’er saw Zhang Ruochen, her starry eyes immediately revealed a bright light as she deliberately took two steps closer to Yan Yunyi and softly said, “What a coincidence, Zhang Ruochen, we were just about to go look for you to participate in tonight’s auction together.”
“Zhang Ruochen? He is the fiancé of County Lord Smoky Dust?”
Yan Yunyue glanced at Zhang Ruochen, revealing a few contemptuous glances as she said, “County Lord Smoky Dust, you’re the county lord of a superior county, how can you have such a low vision? What is a top genius of the Heavenly Demon Ridge? As long as you give your word, even if it’s the heir of a half-saint family, it’s still not just your pick?”
Although Yan Yunyue was pursuing Chen Xi’er, he was equally fond of Huang Yichen, the iceberg beauty. Chen Xi’er and Huang Yichen’s beauty was originally in between, and they were also cousins, so if they could take them down at the same time, wouldn’t it be a pleasurable thing in life?
Hearing Yan Yunyue’s words, Zhang Ruochen’s brows furrowed.
Standing next to him, Chang Qi Qi was even more furious, and if he hadn’t been pulled by Si Xingkong, he would have already begun to break out in curses.
Huang Yichen’s eyes narrowed rather coldly as he said, “Yan Yunyue, the fiancé chosen by this county princess does not need you to judge him.”
“Cousin, you shouldn’t be angry either, Lord Yan was just talking casually.”
Chen Xi’er immediately stepped out and pulled Huang Yunchen’s arm, stopping him from leaving.
If Huang Yichen were to leave, how could this play be sung today?
Yan Yunyue also showed a few moments of generosity, slightly arching his hand towards Zhang Ruochen, saying, ”Brother Zhang, just now, if Mister Yan’s words offended you, please include it and don’t take it to heart. No matter how you say it, you are after all the fiancé of County Lord Smoke Dust, naturally you are also a friend of Mister Yan, Mister Yan does not look down on a prince of a lower class county.”
Chang Qi Qi just couldn’t bear it and said in a sharp voice, “Eunuch prince? How come I’ve never heard of any castrated or uncastrated princes? Does our Heavenly Demon Ridge have such a person?”
“Frog in the bottom of the well.”
Yan Yunyue did not hear the sarcasm in Chang Qiqi’s words towards him, and said coldly, “The Heavenly Demon Ridge can only be considered a remote wilderness in the Eastern Domain. If our Yan Clan’s army crushes over, it would only take a month to make the so-called 36 counties go up in smoke, and from then on, it would be delineated into our Yan Clan’s territory.”
“So powerful, so powerful, scared me to death! The castrated male is so powerful, should he also go and overthrow Empress Chi Yao’s throne as well?” Chang Qi Qi said.
“You ……”
Yan Yunyue naturally heard it this time, and was instantly furious, exuding a domineering aura from his body.
A streak of golden light rushed out from a hundred thousand pores, forming a pillar of light more than ten feet tall. It was as if a blazing sun was hidden within his body, concealing an incomparably powerful force that was enough to destroy everything around him once it erupted.
Suffering from the impact of Yan Yunyun Fantasy’s power, Chang Qiqi’s face paled as a muffled sound escaped from his mouth and he retreated back and forth, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
It had to be said that Yan Yunyi was indeed very powerful, just the outward release of his power had shocked Chang Qi Qi through the air. His strength, at the very least, had reached the top one thousand of the Earth Ranking.
Zhang Ruochen and Si Xingkong almost simultaneously blocked in front of Chang Qi Qi’s body, and also each mobilised their true qi to block back the power emanating from Yan Yunyi.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were cold and sharp as he glanced towards Huang Yichen, revealing a chastising look?
If it was really just a madman who came looking for trouble, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t mind cleaning him up and giving him a painful lesson.
As if he had read Zhang Ruochen’s meaning, Huang Yichen said, ”This Yan Gongzi, from the third-rate clan, the Yan Clan, is an honoured guest invited by his cousin. Duke Yan is the second genius of the younger generation of the Yan Clan, ranked 375th on the Earth Ranking, and is quite powerful.”
Huang Yichen was not just introducing Yan Yunyue, she was also reminding Zhang Ruochen that Yan Yunyue was a super strong person, you are not a match for him right now, don’t mess with him, and bear with him if you can, lest you be humiliated by him. In her heart, she was still very worried.
