The women all looked at him expectantly, eager to know which style their master preferred.
They were currently studying novels that Fang Zhiwei had given them, which presented this as an excellent way to establish a close relationship with their master.
Of course, Ye Yun was unaware that his disciples had been "corrupted" by Fang Zhiwei. He simply felt a pang of nostalgia that his disciples seemed to be getting more playful.
He held his forehead and said helplessly,
"You girls can just pick whatever you like. I don't usually see these things."
Lin Xueyan immediately chimed in, "That's not necessarily true."
"..."
Ye Yun almost choked to death. Seeing that they genuinely wanted him to appraise the items, he quickly waved his hand and said,
"Alright, you pick what suits you."
Meanwhile, Fang Zhiwei, feeling both annoyed and somewhat happy, thought,
"It's so good... Master is so pure..."
Little did she know, the master she considered pure had already found their future mistress.
Ye Yun walked over to the counter and said to the suspiciously looking shop attendant,
"You, take them to pick. Buy whatever they want, I'll pay."
With that, he casually tossed out a top-grade Xuan Crystal, making the attendant's eyes gleam.
"Yes, yes! Thank you, Immortal Lord! Thank you, Immortal Lord!"
Using a top-grade Xuan Crystal to buy ordinary underwear was practically charity!
Afterward, Ye Yun sat down at the entrance of the hall, gazing wistfully at the bustling street outside.
For a brief moment, he had genuinely wanted to help them pick, but he was also afraid of being locked in the "little black room" again...
"Life, it's just like this..."
Inside the shop, the women were guessing what style their master would prefer.
Mature style? Cute style? Reserved style?
Outside, Ye Yun sat in a state of zen, quietly observing the crowds on the street.
At that moment, he seemed to understand the pain of those men in his previous life who accompanied their wives shopping, and not just one, but five...
"Alas, what a pity, if only Xingwu were here..."
Accompanying his disciples to shop in this kind of store was quite dull, but doing so with his wife would be a different story.
As for whether he liked a particular style, as Lin Xueyan and the others cared about, that was a joke. Children make choices; he wanted them all!
Wasn't it more enjoyable to have a different one each day?
While waiting wistfully, his gaze drifted into the distance, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"These fellows are really good at hiding, following for so long and still haven't made a move?"
Not far from the shop, in the area Ye Yun glanced at, stood several people in plain clothes, three men and one woman.
The three men were agitated, pacing back and forth.
"I told you that guy was a pervert. What kind of person takes their disciples to an underwear shop!"
"Exactly, exactly! Miss must have been deceived by that guy!"
One of them couldn't help but say to the gray-robed woman beside him,
"Vice Sect Master, aren't we going to make a move? I want to chop that guy up right now, or at least cripple him!"
They had watched Fang Zhiwei grow up.
Seeing her now, in an underwear shop with a man, filled them with rage.
The gray-robed woman, addressed as Vice Sect Master, remained relatively calm and said,
"Don't rush. Didn't you see that person sitting at the entrance? It means he hasn't gone inside. Perhaps Miss is trying to drag him in."
"How is that possible! Zhiwei is usually so reserved, how could she take a man to this kind of shop!"
"That's right! She must have been corrupted by her master, or her so-called senior sister!"
The group grew more indignant, but the gray-robed woman remained unfazed.
"In any case, let's observe further. I have a feeling he's not simple and might have already detected our tail."
Upon hearing this, the man beside her frowned.
"How is that possible? We are all True Immortal realm cultivators. How could he possibly detect us?"
"Who can say for sure? The Heavenly Domain is vast, and anything is possible."
The gray-robed woman had an open mind.
However, the people who came with her didn't think the same way.
"Hmph, even if he found us, so what? With just the few of us, taking him down would be a piece of cake!"
"Exactly! I say we should have charged forward long ago, taken that guy down, and brought Miss back quickly!"
"That's right, I really don't understand what you're hesitating about, Vice Sect Master."
This time, the Sect Master had spared no expense to bring their Miss back.
In their eyes, if the few of them attacked together, Ye Yun, even if he were a True Saint or even a True Immortal, would be utterly defeated!
The gray-robed woman glanced at them and said calmly,
"Why do you think the Sect Master also sent me here? It's to prevent you from being too impulsive and ruining the plan!"
With that, she overruled their objections and instructed,
"In short, until I give the order, none of you are allowed to act on your own. Otherwise, you will be dealt with according to sect rules. This is also the Sect Master's decree!"
As soon as she said this, everyone deflated.
They could only glare at Ye Yun, their teeth gnashing, wishing they could rush out right now.
...
Since the Dark Auction began after 8 PM, Ye Yun and his disciples treated the entire day as a vacation, being dragged by them to various shops.
Jewelry stores, snack shops, clothing stores, shoe stores, even bookstores...
The most frequently heard sentence was:
"Master, Master, this dress looks so good, do you like it..."
"Master, these white stockings look so good, do you like them..."
"Master, these shoes look so good, do you like them..."
If one didn't know, they'd think they were shopping for him.
As a result, many people along the way looked at him suspiciously, wondering if he was a pervert with peculiar tastes.
Ye Yun was almost in a state of being surrounded by his disciples throughout the day.
And this was without even calling Xiao Xue out, otherwise, there would have been no room for him to hold on.
"Alas, what a sin..."
Ye Yun looked at the disciples squeezed around him and couldn't help but think.
If Xingwu were here, what would the scene be like? Would they start fighting...
After a brief imagination, Ye Yun's head began to ache.
"I hope that day never comes. Such a tragic love triangle... it's too terrifying..."
Every time he thought of Xingwu's kind smile, he felt a chill down his spine. Indeed, he needed to improve his strength quickly, lest he be utterly defeated by her one day.
The day passed in a flash.
Ye Yun then led Lin Xueyan and the others directly to Moon Spirit Mountain outside the city.
He also had a vague sense that those people were still following them, but he didn't pay too much attention.
Instead, he looked helplessly at his disciples beside him, dressed in brand-new dresses, adorned like they were attending a ball, as beautiful as blooming flowers.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"In this situation, when we get to the auction, won't it turn into a case of 'femme fatale'..."
