"What's so interesting?"
Lin Xueyan looked at Ye Yun in confusion. Not only her, but Bai Xiaoxiao and the others also looked puzzled.
Here, they saw nothing related to an auction.
Just then, Ye Yun's lips curved slightly upward.
"Hold your positions steady, you few. We're going in!"
With that, he flicked his finger, and his flying sword descended, crashing rapidly towards the ground.
This scene terrified Lin Xueyan and the others. As they got closer and closer to the ground, they couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
"Master! Master, stop quickly! People are going to die!!!"
At this speed, crashing into the ground would at least leave them half-dead, even with their cultivation.
However, Ye Yun showed no intention of stopping, scaring Lin Xueyan and the others into closing their eyes.
The next moment, they made zero-distance contact with the ground at an incredibly terrifying speed.
Yet, the expected impact did not happen. Other than the sound of wind from the excessive speed, there was no other noise.
The women couldn't help but open their eyes and found themselves already inside some kind of underground castle.
"This... what's going on?"
Fang Zhiwei's small face was still a little pale, looking at the scene before her with disbelief.
Only then did Ye Yun chuckle lightly, "It's just a formation. Spatial arrays have been laid out on this ground."
"It's likely that if you pass through at sufficient speed, the teleportation effect will be activated, and you'll be sent to your destination."
Chen Lingyi's small mouth parted, and she exclaimed in awe, "It can even be like this..."
Then Ye Yun waved his hand and looked down.
"Alright, it seems this is the entrance to the auction."
Now, they were in a sealed, giant hall. There was only a passage on the ground, with the words "Auction Venue Entrance" hanging above it.
Besides them, quite a few people were gathered in this hall, seemingly having just arrived and planning to enter the venue.
Ye Yun noticed that most of the participants in this dark auction were Xuan Immortals, or even Earth Immortals. Heavenly Immortals were few and far between, and many of them had unpleasant expressions.
Looking at these people, then at the beautiful girls beside him, Ye Yun sighed.
"I hope no second-generation scions with impure intentions appear..."
After all, in some tropes, one like him, bringing a group of beauties, easily becomes the target of everyone's attention.
But before Ye Yun could lead them down, a smiling voice came from behind.
"This fellow cultivator, you truly have good fortune. All the girls by your side are so beautiful."
As soon as he heard this voice, Ye Yun's eyelids twitched. He wondered if it was a case of speaking of the devil.
When he turned his head, he saw a handsome young man in white, flanked by two female cultivators, being escorted by a team of Heavenly and Earth Immortal guards, flying directly towards him.
Noticing his gaze lingering on Lin Xueyan and the others, Ye Yun's voice immediately turned cold.
"Whether I have good fortune or not, it doesn't seem to concern you, does it?"
With that, he intended to lead Lin Xueyan and the others away, but the former was still not giving up.
"Fellow cultivator, please wait a moment. Why the hurry to leave?"
The young man in white smiled and flew over, making Ye Yun even more convinced that he was here to cause trouble. He immediately conjured the Fenglan Sword in his hand.
The main reason he didn't use the Shenyuan Sword was that he didn't want to expose the top-grade immortal artifact in front of everyone. It would inevitably cause trouble if knowledgeable powerhouses recognized it.
"Boy, if you're looking to pick on someone weak, you've come to the wrong person."
Ye Yun's voice was ice-cold, he had no doubt that if the other party overstepped any further, he would kill him with a single sword.
In fact, he did have the strength, even if the other party had guards, it would be useless.
Unexpectedly, the young man in white smiled and said quickly,
"My lord, please don't misunderstand. I merely encountered a fellow cultivator and wished to make your acquaintance."
"Hmm?"
This time, it was Ye Yun's turn to be stunned. Was this guy not here to cause trouble?
Then, he saw the young man step forward and bow, smiling and saying,
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Second Holy Son of Hongchen Mountain. I've been known for my handsome looks since childhood, so my surname is Gu, and my given name is Shuai!"
"Holy Son Gu Shuai of Hongchen Mountain?"
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow. He hadn't heard this name before, but the name Hongchen Mountain was familiar.
After all, a sect that assigned dual cultivation partners to its disciples was truly unforgettable...
Come to think of it, the merchant manager from before did mention that the Holy Son of Hongchen Mountain would also be attending this auction. It must be this guy...
Ye Yun sized him up and asked with a frown,
"You said just now that you wanted to get to know me. As a mere rogue cultivator from the countryside, what is there to know?"
Gu Shuai's answer was simple and direct. Looking at Ye Yun, he smiled,
"My lord, you are mistaken. I have always considered myself handsome, but I never expected to meet someone even more handsome than myself here."
Good heavens, Ye Yun didn't know whether to call him narcissistic or humble.
If you say he's humble, when has anyone openly declared themselves handsome and then said someone else is even more handsome? Although it was the truth...
Then, Ye Yun asked again, "What did you mean by 'fellow cultivator' just now?"
Gu Shuai let out a light laugh and said heartily,
"What else could it be? Naturally, it's about dual cultivation immortal partners."
Gu Shuai smiled and then introduced the two female cultivators beside him.
"Allow me to introduce my immortal partners, Chunhua and Qiuyue. They are sisters."
As he introduced them, the two women gracefully bowed to Ye Yun.
Then Gu Shuai continued with a smile, "Actually, there are also Xialan and Dongshan, but I didn't bring them with me."
Hearing him say this, Ye Yun didn't quite understand and asked with lingering doubt,
"So, what do we have in common?"
Behind him, several guards from Hongchen Mountain secretly sneered.
What do we have in common? Don't you know yourself?
Gu Shuai, however, still had a smile on his face as he looked at the women beside Ye Yun and said,
"I always thought my four immortal partners were enough."
"I never expected you to be the true senior, bringing along five immortal partners, all of them such stunning beauties."
"I am truly impressed and my heart is pounding!"
Seeing his excited expression, Ye Yun immediately understood what he meant.
Good heavens, so he mistook Lin Xueyan and the others for his own immortal partners!
Ye Yun had to explain, "I'm saying, you seem to have misunderstood. They are not my immortal partners, but my disciples."
"Uh... disciples?"
Gu Shuai was stunned. He looked at the women again, then a look of realization dawned on his face.
"Oh... senior has this kind of preference, calling it role-playing, right?"
After speaking, he raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"I understand, we all understand!"
"..."
Ye Yun's face darkened. He suppressed the urge to curse, understanding your great-grandfather!
