145 Chapter 145 (2/2)

Feng Nuana proclaimed while tightening her grip on Zhang Liu's arm. The young man went red in the face, while furiously denying this preposterous claim.

”W-who is shy? Who gets red in the face? Let me go this instant!”

He tried shaking her off but the more he moved the more he could see those peaks jiggle. He was still a young man and was quickly subdued by the cute girl's advances. While this was happening he heard a cackle from the side, turning his head he saw a smirking Huo Kong.

”Well, isn't the mighty Zhang Liu quite the ladies' man. Think you and my father would get along.”

Huo Kong laughed, his rival looked troubled which instantly made him feel refreshed.

”Just don't forget about the festival tomorrow you two love birds!”

Feng Nuana looked to be happy about being called that, Liu, on the other hand, was fuming from the side.

”Senior brother Huo, should you be saying such things, yourself?”

Huo Kong looked to the side while still smirking, only to catch Zhang Xue's face dangerously close to his when he turned. He instantly backed away while stuttering, the white-haired girl just covered her face with a sleeve and snickered.

”Oh my, the mighty senior is so bashful~”

Kong's face contorted while Liu laughed out from the side, soon everyone left towards the exit with all of their numbers assigned. Zhang Tai was the only one that quickly bolted into the distance, followed by some Feng sisters the girls were apparently still on him.

”Senior Brother Tai sure is popular...”

Liu said while rubbing his head, the shorty that was stuck to his arm was now getting pulled back by the old lady he met in that shop. He was finally free and could stretch out, his arm had quite the girl smell to it now. His sister moved over to him and inhaled, she then poked her own nose.

”Hm... cherries?”

Zhang Liu grimaced and backed off, his sister was looking at him funny and he knew that she wanted to tease him. The two and the rest of their clan members headed back to their hotel to rest. They had limited free time, they had to recover their used up spiritual energy and heal any injuries they had.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened, the elders escorted their juniors back to their quarters. The real festival would be starting soon and the possibility of getting attacked wasn't nill. There were also rumors about some people having their souls drained, there could be demonic cultivators in this city somewhere. So, they had to be more vigilant than ever.

At the headquarters of the Dark Palm outer sect building, an elder with a crooked nose was standing up straight. Opposite him there was a man with a gem in his forehead, it was glistering with an eery light that was giving the crooked nosed elder the creeps.

”Young lord Kai, the festival will be starting in two days, your disciple already had his number assigned and everything has been prepared for his arrival.”

This was the governor as well as the man in the highest position from this Dark Palm outer sect. He was still trying to make a good impression on the young lord, but the man that was standing a bit further back was even more important. Even though Yang Kai had a high position, he was still only a core formation cultivator. The man that was standing in the back was the actual VVIP, even though the man with the gem had a strong backing, the elder behind him was an actual Nascent Soul powerhouse.

”Elder Ming, the auction house is still gathering the items for auction, it will open up in three days...”

The man was worried as he couldn't hasten the auction. That establishment had a strong backing and took a neutral stance. Thanks to this the quality of the items that were put up for sale was quite high. Masers even at the nascent soul could procure worthwhile items for themselves, but this was quite rare.

Even though the Dark Palm sect had a zero-tolerance policy for letting others have heaven grade treasures, it had to allow some powers to sell them. This auction house was a large chain store and was owned by a rather strong clan with their own nascent soul monsters. Even the Dark Palm sect couldn't strongman them around. Still, the auction house was only interested in profit. They didn't care what happened to the item after they sold it. If the Dark Palm sect wanted to chase the buyer down afterward it was up to them. Thus it was rare for people without a backing to go for items of that quality. If you tried it, you'd find yourself on this sect's hit list rather quickly.

”Is that so...”

The man just nodded while leaving the area, the atmosphere got lighter when he left even the man with the gem gave out a sigh of relief.

'Elder Ming is always so calm on the outside... hope everything goes well at the auction'

Yang Kai looked at the elder member from his sect leaving, a glint in his eye.

'Well, if not... then I bet there will be an interesting spectacle to watch...'
