When Bai Gongyu saw Xu Sheng come out, she quickly moved to his side, blinked her beautiful eyes with a face full of curiosity, and said, "How did it go? What did father and the other elders say?"
Xu Sheng's ink-colored eyes flashed with a hint of amusement as he spoke softly, "The head of the Bai Gong family said he wants to betroth you to me…"
Bai Gongyu, upon hearing these words, felt her cheeks grow sensibly warm with a few threads of redness as she shyly said, "What… What? How can father say such a thing!"
Although she had a good feeling for Xu Sheng, her father had outright spoken such words…
Didn't he consider her feelings at all?
Seeing Bai Gongyu's burning red cheeks, Xu Sheng said with surprise, "What? Do you really dislike me that much?"
Bai Gongyu quickly waved her hands with a hint of agitation, "No… not at all, how could I dislike you, but, what was your reply to my father?"
Her tone was filled with an intense desire to know...
If Xu Sheng had agreed, wouldn't she become his wife?
Xu Sheng smiled indifferently, "Feather Junior Sister, I was just joking with you, don't take it to heart."
In his heart, he secretly thought, "My true nature is still somewhat hard to change. After losing divinity, it's become harder to control."
Realizing it was just a joke, Bai Gongyu's beautiful eyes were filled with a trace of grievance...
She muttered quietly, "Xu Sheng, is that really fun for you?"
However, she also felt a bit relieved deep down. If Xu Sheng had agreed, that would have been fine, but if he had refused…
Then how should she face him…
Changing her tone, she said with eyes shining with spirit, "That's right, Xu Sheng, let's go for a walk inside Tianfeng City. You haven't been out since you came to the Bai Gong mansion, have you?"
Xu Sheng, a bit surprised, replied, "That sounds good!"
Even after the Bai Gong family had just been attacked by the Mo family, Bai Gongyu still had the mood to go for a stroll...
He didn't know whether to say she was very indifferent to the situation or if she was doing it on purpose…
...
When Xu Sheng and Bai Gongyu walked into Tianfeng City, their astounding appearance and temperament instantly attracted many gazes...
When they recognized the woman as Bai Gongyu, they exclaimed, "Look! Isn't that Bai Gongyu from the Bai Gong family? So beautiful!!"
"Really! I heard this morning that the Bai Gong family had suffered a heavy loss due to an attack by the Mo family, but it seems it was just a rumor!"
"I thought as much, the Bai Gong and Mo families are both among the top three clans in strength, not so easily defeated. If that were true, Bai Gongyu, the pearl of the Bai Gong family, wouldn't possibly be out like this…"
Xu Sheng looked curiously at Bai Gongyu beside him, "Is this your goal?"
He roughly understood her idea; she was using this very ordinary method to squash the rumors of the Bai Gong family being severely damaged…
Bai Gongyu smiled and said, "Hmm~ half and half. Xu Sheng, let's go to the auction house now, there should be quite a few things up for bidding, and maybe there'll be something you need!"
The most important thing was, this auction house had some serious backing, and even the three great families of Tianfeng City wouldn't dare provoke it lightly!
There once was a small clan that challenged this auction house and in one night, they were decimated, not a single survivor left.
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng patted his empty robes and said, "I am penniless though..."
An auction house?
It might be interesting...
But now, he didn't have the currency of the cultivation world on him...
Bai Gongyu laughed and covered her mouth, "I had guessed this would be an issue! If you really take a fancy to something, I can represent the Bai Gong family and bid for you!"
"Really? Then let's go!"
After the conversation, the two headed towards the auction house in Tianfeng City...
A few minutes later, a massive building appeared in front of them, covering an area of hundreds of thousands of square meters, surrounded by a swarm of people entering and exiting the auction house...
Besides that, at the top of this enormous auction venue, hung several big characters carved with dragons and phoenixes in flight...
Qingyang Auction House!
Xu Sheng sized it up and expressed his admiration, "Looks pretty good!"
Bai Gongyu playfully said, "Of course! This is the biggest auction house in Tianfeng City. The entrance is over there..."
She then pulled Xu Sheng by the palm and headed towards the entrance of the Qingyang Auction House...
At the entrance, several maids tasked with guarding were dressed in very revealing clothes, with only a thin layer of gauze covering their sensitive areas, their snow-white skin exposed without any hesitation, making it difficult for onlookers to shift their gaze...
However, the exquisite eye accessories on their cheeks concealed their faces...
One of the maids, upon recognizing Xu Sheng and Bai Gongyu, showed a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes...
Clearly attracted by the stunning looks and aura of the two...
Then, with a faint smile on her face, she whispered to Xu Sheng and Bai Gongyu, "The two of you, would you like to enter the Qingyang Auction House?"
Xu Sheng uttered a faint "Hmm!" in response...
The maid did not show any displeasure and out of thin air produced two exquisite eye accessories that gleamed with a silver light, handing them over...
Explaining, "These are eye accessories, after putting them on, you may enter the Qingyang Auction House. However, you both should know the rules here," Bai Gongyu didn't say much more, took them, and put them on her face...
Seeing this, Xu Sheng also quickly took and donned his...
Subsequently, the maid stepped aside gracefully, respectfully saying, "Dear guests, please..."
Xu Sheng and Bai Gongyu exchanged a glance, and then they stepped into the Qingyang Auction House...
...
Upon entering the interior of the Qingyang Auction House, the view suddenly opened up...
Xu Sheng's gaze involuntarily swept around, soon realizing the entire auction hall was lavishly decorated, almost every spot shimmering with blinding gold light...
It seemed as if it was done intentionally to showcase the Qingyang Auction House's strength...
Soon, his attention was drawn to three exclusive pathways ahead...
Seeing this, Bai Gongyu tugged at Xu Sheng's sleeve and whispered, "Xu Sheng, with our status, we can only proceed to the Primary Auction Pavilion, which is inside the black pathway..."
To access the intermediate or even the high-level auction pavilions, one needs at least to be at the Clan Leader Level...
The corners of Xu Sheng's mouth curled into a smile, "Let's go, we're heading to the high-level auction pavilion..."
Bai Gongyu was stunned, "Eh?? But... Xu Sheng, wait for me!"
Before she could finish, she saw Xu Sheng already striding towards the High-level Auction Pavilion...
With no other choice, she could only steel herself and follow...
As expected, upon entering the High-level Auction Pavilion, they were stopped by a man in charge of guarding...
The man, emotionless on his cheeks, said, "I'm sorry, but this area is only accessible to guests of Clan Leader Level..."
But upon closer feeling, one could realize that the man's cultivation level was at the Sixth Layer of the Scattered Immortal Realm!!
His strength was even subtly stronger than Bai Gong Li and Mo Buhui!
