Chapter 140 – The Auction

(Mustang: Hey guys, this is the Second Regular Chapter for this week.)

Once Bi Fan and others returned to their hotel, they found out that Luo Xiong and the others hadn’t returned yet; Luo Xiao Tian and Ling Xin Ya had gone off to meet some old friends.

Yan Yu Si said: “We should go to bed; it’s been a long day, and we’ll need to recharge our batteries for tomorrow.”

“Yes! Miss Yan Yu Si!”

Just as Jing Feng and the others were going off to take some rest, five more disciples returned.

Since everyone belonged to the same Sect, they naturally wanted to sit and chat for a while, and talk about their experiences, and encounters.

Many of the disciples were visiting the Jiu Yu City for the first time, and they were so excited that they even forgot that they were supposed to take some rest as well.

Later in the night, Jing Feng called everyone down to the hall again, since the inn’s management was serving tea. And they all continued to chat and laugh over tea.

“Oh, there you are, ah, we just heard some very surprising news outside, but we don’t know if it’s the truth or not.” Luo Sheng had been talking to Luo Xiang, but suddenly turned around to face Jing Feng.

Luo Sheng was quite unpopular within the Sect, and no one really cared about him, which is why everyone continued to concentrate on their tea.

“Jing Feng, I heard that you guys ran into some trouble, is that true?” Luo Sheng insisted on having his question answered.

Jing Feng replied: “I don’t know what kind of cynical rumors are spreading outside, Luo Sheng.”

“The word outside is that, Miss Yan Yu Si is bully, and she beat up some Wu Ji Sect disciples.” Luo Sheng said: “Jing Feng, were you there at the time?”

“What? Wu Ji Sect’s Nan Feng was insulting the Quinyang Sect, and Miss Yan Yu Si taught him a lesson. I don’t think she did anything wrong!… and well, now those guys are just distorting the facts.” Jing Feng replied in a cold voice.

Luo Xiong said: “I know that Miss Yan Yu Si wouldn’t act without reason. And I’m quite certain that Nan Feng from the Wu Ji Sect is just blaming her to occupy the righteous say, that’s very mean of him, ah…”

“Yes, I don’t know what I was thinking; Miss Yan Yu Si wouldn’t go around throwing her weight like that.” Luo Sheng agreed.

Since the topic was brought into light, everyone started gossiping and commenting.

Yan Yu Si was already frowning, almost as if she had something bothering her.

Luo Xiao Tian and Ling Xin Ya returned soon, and they weren’t looking very happy.

“Miss Yan Yu Si, are the rumors outside true?” Luo Xiao Tian asked with a cold look on his face.

“I don’t know what’s being spread outside, but the Wu Ji Sect disciples got a beating from me. They were insulting the Quinyang Sect, and I couldn’t stand it, which is why I taught them a lesson.” Yan Yu Si said lightly.

“Ah! These Wu Ji Sect people are so treacherous, they’ve even got the masses to blame us for that incident, and are trying to make the Quinyang Sect look bad in front of the city.” Ling Xin Ya said.

“Let’s not bother with them. Anyway, I was the one who attacked them, and I believe that even the Wu Ji Sect wouldn’t dare to cause me any trouble over such a trivial matter.” Yan Yu Si replied in an indifferent tone.

Luo Xiao Tian seemed rather angry: “I have repeatedly warned you, that if you go around stirring up trouble, then we will all eventually get into trouble here.”

If Yan Yu Si wasn’t the daughter of the Sect’s Master, then Luo Xiao Tian would have probably scolded her quite vigorously.

“We should all go and get some rest. Tomorrow, we must all attend the Heavenly Dragon Group’s auction.” Ling Xin Ya stated.

“Yes, let’s all take some rest.”

Soon, everyone scattered, and returned to their rooms.

As soon as Bi Fan stepped back into his room, he started practicing again.

Yan Yu Si had been involved in a brawl today, and Bi Fan had watched as she thrashed a group of Wu Ji Sect disciples, single-handedly.

Bi Fan could feel the gap between their strengths, and knew that it was very large one too, which is why he was even more motivated to practice now.

Now, Bi Fan’s focus of practice was primarily on the ‘Free’ Burst techniques, and the ‘Fire and Ice’ burst technique. He was finally able to practice the ‘Free’ burst technique, and was beginning to realize that the skill was very adaptable, and could be used with a wide range of skills.

The ‘Fire and Ice’ burst was a very sturdy skill as well, but was more suitable for the more strenuous and powerful attacks.

The ‘Free’ burst technique, on the other hand, was a firm and flexible technique, and had a wide range of benefits. (‘Free’ Burst technique is the one he learnt along with ‘the immortal finger’, and the ‘fire and ice’ burst was taught to him by Ling Xin Ya.)
