Chapter 54 - Avoid Danger
Chapter 54: Avoid Danger
There had been rumors that the Alchemy Emperor would also participate in this auction. However, the Alchemy Emperor’s identity was special. In addition, he had avoided the world for many years and had not appeared for a long time.
Therefore, whether the news was true or false, the others did not know. At this moment, Mei Qianmeng’s words made them believe without a doubt that the Alchemy Emperor had really appeared!
“Not only did a Flawless medicinal pill attract the Saintess of the Demon Region, Mei Qianmeng, but even a figure like Alchemy Emperor was interested.”
“Perhaps there are other important figures present as well, but they all concealed their auras and didn’t reveal themselves.”
“Whether it is the legendary medicinal pill or the presence of these important figures, this auction is a once-in-a-hundred years event. This trip is not in vain.”
Everyone present discussed animatedly, their fear of Mei Qianmeng lessening by a lot. After all, with the Alchemy Emperor overseeing the auction, no matter how unbridled Mei Qianmeng was, she did not dare to go too far.
Mei Qianmeng’s eyes darkened as her good deeds were ruined by Lu Haoxuan. She still was not willing to give up. After all, this medicinal pill was extremely useful to her.
“Young Master, you might as well consider it. Just now, you saw how powerful my bell is. Perhaps it’s more suitable for Young Master than that broken cauldron.”
Even Gu Xi was almost struck by the Dao just now. That scene caused one’s soul to tremble. It was as if it was about to melt into the blood moon. The threat it posed was no less than that of the cauldron.
However, Gu Xi was more interested in the cauldron. Perhaps it was because he had a preconceived idea, or perhaps it was because of the time-reversal. The man who appeared was tremendously powerful, and there was definitely some connection between the man and the cauldron. Perhaps it was the former owner of this cauldron.
What kind of person could make the Heavenly Dao so angry and that dark power that came from the void? All in all, Gu Xi was extremely curious.
“Thank you for your good intentions, Saintess. However, I’m afraid that we are not fated.”
Gu Xi did not want to offend this Saintess from the Demon Region, so he said it in an extremely tactful manner.
The smile on Mei Qianmeng’s face did not change. After taking a closer look, the smile did not reach her eyes. “If Young Master says this, I will be sad.”
Her voice was so charming that it penetrated into his bones. It made people want to worship her. Gu Xi had a slightly absent-minded look on his face. He actually had the impulse to go back on his words. However, in a moment, he suppressed it.
Mei Qianmeng’s methods were indeed unpredictable. If he was not careful, he would fall into her trap. It seemed that he had to be careful at all times.
In order to avoid any more trouble, Gu Xi decided to end the battle quickly. “Please give the pill to them, Manager Fan.”
Similarly, Lu Haoxuan was also a straightforward person. With a flash of light, Gu Xi could feel that the prohibitions were removed from the small cauldron in front of him. It had become an ownerless item.
Everyone was very envious. Mei Qianmeng was also eyeing it covetously. She could not snatch it openly. If it was someone else, it would have been fine. However, Lu Haoxuan was here.
Mei Qianmeng was obviously extremely unwilling. “Young Master is actually able to take out a Flawless medicinal pill. I think it shouldn’t be a problem for him to take out another one in the future.”
However, these words reminded them that since Gu Xi was able to take out a pill, it should not be too difficult for him to take out a second one.
Everyone’s attention once again fell on Gu Xi. He who was originally just enjoying the show had suddenly become a character in the show. Even though they were separated by the private room, Gu Xi could still feel the large, burning gazes of those people.
Mei Qianmeng was really vengeful for the smallest grievance. It was just that he did not agree to exchange with her, so she did this.
“I’ll have to ask my Master about this.”
However, Gu Xi was not worried at all. All of it was thrown onto that Master who did not exist.
When Lu Haoxuan heard this, he could not help but have a thought. He wanted to ask for advice, but this place was obviously not a good time to chat, not to mention that Mei Qianmeng was still beside him.
Even though Lu Haoxuan was not afraid of Mei Qianmeng, he had to be wary of the Demon Region behind her.
“The Demon Region is extremely hospitable to our guests. I wonder if we can invite Young Master and your master to come to the Demon Region for a chat.”
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously shivered. Even powerful people would have a hard time entering the Demon Region. If Gu Xi really agreed, he would not be able to return. If he did not shed a layer of skin, the people of the Demon Region would not be willing to let him leave.
However, Mei Qianmeng spoke as if that place was heaven.
“Thank you for your kind intentions, Saintess, but I still have to ask my Master’s opinion.”
Gu Xi could not directly refuse, lest Mei Qianmeng did something again. Anyway, everything could be pushed onto that Master who did not exist.
“That’s such a pity.”
Gu Xi’s repeated rejections did not appear to anger Mei Qianmeng. Her smile became even more beautiful, like a blooming poppy. Everyone knew that it was dangerous, but they could not help but want to approach her.
“My Master misses the Alchemy Emperor very much. If Alchemy Emperor can take this opportunity to develop the secret of the Flawless pill, he will definitely come to congratulate you.”
Lu Haoxuan’s voice was indifferent. “Then there’s no need.”
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone’s attention was attracted by Mei Qianmeng and Lu Haoxuan, Gu Xi sent a signal to the sect and prepared to escape. There was a secret passageway on the sixth level that allowed one to leave directly. This was a special right granted by the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce.
No wonder the sixth floor was special. It was enough to see how important it was. Otherwise, if one were to take the usual passageway, one would inevitably be targeted by those large factions.
As for what happened in the end in the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce, that was completely out of Gu Xi’s consideration. In any case, he could see that the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce was not an existence to be trifled with.
Right now, it was the start of the Dao Conference in the Capital. All the sects were gathered here. No matter how bold Mei Qianmeng was, she would not choose to make a move at this time.
Gu Xi’s guess was very accurate. Although Gu Xi and the sect members did not know how Fan Baohua and the others would resolve it in the end, people did not cause much trouble overall.
