Chapter 28: Young Man, You Are Doomed

"Okay then, in that case, junior sister, let's go buy a mansion." Said Luo Wusheng with a smile, his body already started to move.

Bai Xiaoyao's face turned blank for a moment, her eyes filled with confusion, nevertheless, she still chose to follow her Senior Brother without question.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoyao was pondering a very serious question.

What exactly is her Senior Brother's thought process made of? How did his abnormal brain successfully develop his spiritual awareness as a cultivator?

What kind of thinking allows him to smoothly transition from asking about her preferences of color to immediately suggesting they go buy a mansion?

Does your preferred mansion only come in black and white color styles?

However, she kept these thoughts to herself and maintained the coquettish smile of a succubus as she walked side by side with Luo Wusheng on the long street of the Royal City.

As two youths with exceptional looks, they naturally attracted the attention of many people on the street, many of whom recognized their identities.

In response to the respectful greetings of "Greetings, Lord Luo" from the crowds, Luo Wusheng nodded in acknowledgement, relishing in his newfound celebrity status.

In the past, Luo Wusheng had been in closed-door cultivation for many years, causing people to only know his name but not his appearance. When he first arrived in the Royal City, even the officers at his own sect's Demon Artifact Pavillion didn't recognize him.

But things are different now.

With the Five-Colored Tribulation Lightning that had shaken nearly the entire Royal City, although there were still many who didn't recognize him, at least there were only few people around the Demon Artifact Pavilion who didn't know who he was.

However, nodding too much was causing his neck to become stiff, but what can he do? This is the dilemma of being a celebrity.

"So why did Senior Brother suddenly think of buying a mansion?"

Bai Xiaoyao kicked a stone boredly and glanced at the indulgent and ecstatic Luo Wusheng, asking somewhat impatiently.

"Hmm? Of course, it's because you came, right?"

Luo Wusheng looked at his junior sister with a strange look. "Originally, it wouldn't have been urgent for just us men, but since you're a young girl, you can't just live together with me and the others in the Demon Artifact Pavilion, can you?"

His tone was matter-of-fact, as if it's obvious, but Bai Xiaoyao was taken aback upon hearing that.

'So it's because of this that he...'

Her footsteps unconsciously became much lighter.

"Hehe, is this mansion the gift that Senior Brother mentioned for Junior Sister?"

Bai Xiaoyao turned her head and looked at her Senior Brother with a playful smile that could even outshine the stars.

Unconsciously wanting to record this beautiful moment, but he has no phones nor camera, Luo Wusheng suddenly feels hatred toward this backwater world.

But he quickly adjusted his mindset.

"Of course not, after buying the mansion, I'll still give you something new and more interesting." He shook his head and laughed.

"Then Junior Sister will look forward to Senior Brother's gift even more~"

Bai Xiaoyao smiled even more happily.

'Hmm, I'm looking forward to my gift too.'

Luo Wusheng thought to himself, but he suddenly noticed a crowd gathering ahead.

With a thought, he dispersed a bit of his spiritual awareness.

In the midst of the crowd, several people dressed in white held up a scroll and displayed its contents to those around them.

"This— This is big news! In seven days, The Taoist Artifact Pavilion is actually going to sell those ordinary Artifacts with the [Sky Manifestation] mark !"

"That's the best Artifact under the level of Low-Grade Artifact! I can't believe the Taoist Artifact Pavilion is willing to sell them!"

"[Sky Manifestation] Marked Ordinary Artifacts— It's been many years since anyone outside the Taoist sect has possessed them. It's said that a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage who has such an Artifact would be invincible against someone at the same level as them…"

"But if they are going to sell it in seven days, doesn't that mean…"

The voices of the onlookers reached Luo Wusheng's ears, and he finally understood what was happening.

Bai Xiaoyao, who had just been smiling, now wore a serious expression.

Taoist Marks were a way to enhance the quality of ordinary Artifacts in the Taoist sect's Artifact refining techniques, and could add various types of beneficial effects to them.

And among them, the [Sky Manifestation] Taoist Mark was the best of the best, but due to its difficulty in being formed, the Taoist Artifact Pavilion usually didn't sell it to outsiders. Instead, they used it to arm their own Foundation Establishment stage disciples.

'So they want to have a competition with me...'

Luo Wusheng quickly realized the intentions of the Taoist Artifact Pavilion.

He had originally thought that the other party wouldn't be so anxious to clash against him, but he hadn't expected that the Pavilion Master Lin would be so impatient as to start his attack so soon.

"Senior Brother..."

Bai Xiaoyao looked at Luo Wusheng subconsciously, sounding worried.

"It's okay, it's all expected."

Luo Wusheng spoke lightly, "Don't worry about these things, let's go see the mansion."

Seeing that her Senior Brother was still so confident, Bai Xiaoyao also relaxed.

"Okay."

The little demoness was just a little curious about where her Senior Brother's confidence came from.

......

In the Taoist Artifact Pavilion in the Royal City.

"Head, as you instructed, we've spread the news about the sale of those ordinary Artifacts in seven days."

Sitting in the main seat, the Taoist Artifact Pavilion's Head Lin Qingfeng listened to the report from his subordinate and nodded.

"Very good, you may leave."

As the subordinate stepped back, another figure approached him.

The figure had white hair and beard, dressed in Taoist robes, and exuded an air of celestial elegance.

It was none other than Yang Zhen, the Chief Artifact Refiner of the Taoist Artifact Pavilion.

"You dare to challenge the Demon Artifact Pavilion?" Yang frowned as he looked at his own Pavillion Master.

"Do you expect me to sit back and watch as the Demon Artifact Pavilion steals the spotlight and surpasses us?" Lin Qingfeng snorted coldly.

"You really are an idiot!" Old Yang was disappointed with the response he received.

How could the head of the Taoist Artifact Pavilion be such an immature brat?

Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be a problem to challenge the Demon Artifact Pavilion and suppress them.

But now, who was the leader of the Demon Artifact Pavilion? The Holy Saint of the Demon Sect!

In terms of identity alone, it was not a wise choice to offend him.

Even if they could win temporarily, what about the future? Could the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect with such a promising future would not dare to crush him and ruin his future?

Disappointed with Lin Qingfeng, Yang Zhen did not speak any further and turned to leave.

As he watched Yang Zhen depart, leaving him alone in the hall, Lin Qingfeng's expression changed constantly.

He did not think he had done anything wrong.

'As long as I can surpass the Demon Artifact Pavilion this time, everyone will remember that the Taoist Artifact Pavilion is the number one Artifact Pavillion in the city!'

So what if the Demon Artifact Pavilion could now refine a few Demon Artifacts? Could they compare with the Taoist Artifacts of the Taoist Artifact Pavilion? No way!

If he could suppress the Demon Artifact Pavilion this time and make them realize the superiority of the Taoist Artifacts of the Taoist Artifact Pavilion, even the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect would not sit idly by and sit tight on a doomed industry.

At that time, he could express his goodwill and sincerely invite them to join the Taoist Artifact Pavilion.

Even if the Holy Saint did not come, it did not matter as long as Bai Xiaoyao came...

Thinking of the Holy Maiden, another figure appeared in Lin Qingfeng's mind.

That figure was as cold as the bright moon in the sky and as calm as still water in autumn.

"Heh, Ji Yanyao, since you rejected me, I'll let you know that without you, i, Lin Qingfeng can still find a better woman!"

Remembering the woman who had publicly rejected his advances and caused him to lose face in the sect, Lin Qingfeng gritted his teeth and his eyes flashed with an abnormal paranoia.

If Luo Wusheng were here right now and knew what this kid was thinking, he would surely sigh in disappointment.

Young man, you are doomed.

Ji Yanyao, the Chief Disciple of the Ancient Taoist sect, although this identity is indeed special by itself, as a reader who had read the story ahead, he knew that this girl has another special identity that separated her from the rest of the cultivators.

This girl is Little Yuli future harem member!

Does this kid not know that in this kind of world, the very first thing you need to stay away from is pretty girls! For they are very clearly a future Harem member of the Protagonist, and competing against them can only lead to death!
