Si Nan shuddered when he heard Lou Mu Yan’s sinister tone.

“Haha… I’m just joking.” If he really asked this woman to call him ‘Elder Brother’, then he was afraid he’d lose a layer of skin.

Lou Mu Yan narrowed her eyes at him, then retracted her gaze.
Seeing that some people in the auction hall had followed suit and also started selling identity jade tablets, she didn’t say anything.

If she wanted to eat meat, then she should let others drink some soup at least, so as not to become the target of public criticism.

After a little, the auction of the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance officially began.

Because the auction was held in the competition space, so all the Sword Masters participating sat in the hall without discrimination and there weren’t any separate private rooms.

Lou Mu Yan was the holder of the Silver Token, so she was arranged by Manager Jiang to sit in the front three rows, and the Sword Masters from elite teams from Superpower kingdoms also sat in the front ten rows.

Ji Xuan and Yan Jun happened to be sitting behind her.
The two obviously knew each other and they chatted while sitting together.

Lou Mu Yan leaned back on the chair languidly, listening in to the conversation between the two from time to time and obtained some news from it.

For example, in today’s auction, although the major forces didn’t send people to participate, but there were many participating Sword Masters with Clan missions and the competition would be very fierce.

“Lou Mu Yan, you made a lot of money this time didn’t you?” Yan Jun’s amorous eyes were filled with a smile, and he reached out to pat her shoulder.

Lou Mu Yan turned her head, nodded, and said with a smile: “I indeed earned a lot, but no matter how much I earn, I’ll never forget the fifty thousand Spiritual Stones you owe me.”

“…” Yan Jun’s lips twitched.
This woman sure was obsessed with money.

“Yan Jun owes you fifty thousand Spiritual Stones?” Ji Xuan asked in surprise.

Lou Mu Yan glanced at him, “So what?”

“I’m just a little curious about how he ended up owing you fifty thousand Spiritual Stones.” Ji Xuan’s handsome face revealed a bit of playfulness, “Is it like the Second Prince?”

“You think that’s possible?” Yan Jun’s face darkened.
He wasn’t a waste like that Second Prince.

“Then why do you owe her Spiritual Stones?” Ji Xuan asked persistently.

“A tigress…”

“She cured my illness.” Lou Mu Yan was decisively interrupted by Yan Jun before she could continue speaking.

Lou Mu Yan chuckled softly, and she felt much better when she saw the ugly look on Yan Jun’s face.

“What tigress?” Ji Xuan could see at a glance that Yan Jun’s expression wasn’t good and there was something hidden behind what Lou Mu Yan said.

Lou Mu Yan looked askance at him, blinked, and said: “You want to know?”

“I want to know.” Ji Xuan nodded.

“The news fee is twenty thousand Spiritual Stones.” Lou Mu Yan looked as if she was like a little fox saying, ‘you got a bargain’.

“You really can only think about money.” Ji Xuan looked at her with amusement and didn’t ask any more questions.
It wasn’t worth twenty thousand Spiritual Stones to hear Yan Jun’s embarrassments.

Yan Jun glared at Lou Mu Yan, “You, woman, really became addicted to robbery didn’t you?”

She actually wanted to sell the most humiliating news in his life to Ji Xuan.
She’s truly abominable.
If Ji Xuan, this kid, knew that he was almost forced by a Demonic Beast, wouldn’t he laugh at him for the rest of his life.

“How did you know?” Lou Mu Yan blinked.

She just said that to Ji Xuan so that he would retreat.
She wouldn’t reveal what happened that day.
After all, it was a very disgraceful event for Yan Jun.

Yan Jun smiled helplessly.
He simply couldn’t match this woman’s glib tongue.

“By the way, you just said that she cured your illness.” Ji Xuan elbowed Yan Jun’s arm, raised an eyebrow and asked: “Is it possibly…?”

“Yes.” Yan Jun’s heart disease had been cured and there was no more fear that he must not speak of it.

Ji Xuan was slightly surprised.
It seemed that he still had underestimated Lou Mu Yan before.

Gu’qin: Very old seven-stringed instrument.
Can be translated to zither.

Suddenly, a melodious and brisk gu’qin sound came from ahead, and the auction hall, which was originally noisy, instantly became quiet.

After the sound of the gu’qin fell, a stunning young woman with a delicate and beautiful appearance and an exquisite figure stepped onto the front stage, causing the eyes of many men to follow her continuously.

“Beauty!” Si Nan looked at the stage with great interest, saying so, but his eyes were very clear.

Lou Mu Yan saw that the woman on stage was wearing a long rose-red dress, had an excellent figure1, and her appearance was comparable to that of Mu Ning, but she had a few more mature feminine charms.

“Not only is she a beauty, she’s also a stunner.” Lou Mu Yan’s eyes were filled with admiration.

She didn’t know why, but she didn’t feel disgusted by this woman, but instead, had a faint liking for her.

“…” The corners of the several people’s lips twitched when they heard her praise.

It was the first time they’ve heard a woman commenting another woman as a ‘stunner’.

He’lian Lie smiled with frivolity and asked: “Wou women also appreciate each other?”

“Why can’t we women appreciate each other? The woman on the stage is indeed very attractive.” Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him.

They didn’t deny her words.
The woman above was indeed a stunner, but they were more interested in Lou Mu Yan.

“Greetings everyone.
My name is Leng Yi and I’m the auctioneer of this Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance auction.” Leng Yi’s voice was tender and soft, but it didn’t make people feel pretentious.

“This woman’s voice is also quite nice.” He’lian Lie said with a smile.

Si Nan chuckled and asked: “Have you bones softened?”

He’lian Lie’s face darkened and he glanced at Lou Mu Yan in his peripheral vision.
Only after seeing that she didn’t have any reaction did he turn to glare at Si Nan, “Do you think I’m as lustful as you?”

“This Young Master likes beautiful women.
That’s nothing to be ashamed about.
How can you say it’s lust?” Si Nan shook his fan with a frivolous look.

Luo Li furrowed his brows and said: “Enough from you two perverts, the auction has started.”

The two of them turned their heads away and cursed inwardly ‘Luo Li is such a hypocrite’.

Lou Mu Yan knew that they were joking around and ignored it, turning her attention to the beauty on the stage.

“I believe everyone already knows the rules of the auction.
I won’t say much here.” Leng Yi snapped her fingers and a beautiful woman in yellow came up on stage, holding a tray.

“This is a Sword Skill of Earth Rank, acquired by a Sword Saint powerhouse in the Land of Inheritance.
It is suitable for ice attribute Sword Masters and there are ten sets of sword techniques.
Each set is very powerful, and there is also a set of a Nameless Sword Realm in this Sword Skill.
If one can comprehend it, then your future achievements will definitely be extraordinary.

“Tossing aside everything else, I believe everyone knows the value of Sword Skills from the Land of Inheritance.”

After introducing the Sword Skills, Leng Yi continued: “As the first auction item, our Chamber of Commerce will set its starting price at one Low Quality Spiritual Stone.
The auction begins now.”

Hearing Leng Yi’s words, most of the Sword Masters below were fiery with desire now.

“It’s actually from the Land of Inheritance.
That Senior Sword Saint sure is lucky.”

“Earth Rank Sword Skills are rare to begin with, and there are even fewer ones that contain Sword Realms.
Who would’ve expected that we’d meet one at this auction.”

“Things that come out of the Land of Inheritance are all good things.
Even if they’re a Mortal Rank2 Sword Skill.
Although the starting price of this Earth Rank Sword Skill is one Spiritual Stone, but it’s difficult to win without strong capital.”

“Aye! That’s true.
A copy of this kind of Sword Skill can fetch sky-high prices outside.
I wonder how much it’ll go for today.”

“…” The discussions below rose one after another, all revolving around the Land of Inheritance and the Sword Skill.

Lou Mu Yan was puzzled and looked at Si Nan beside her, asking: “What sort of place is the Land of Inheritance?”

Hearing her question, Si Nan and the others were completely speechless.
This woman was usually so shrewd and capable, but she actually didn’t even know about the Land of Inheritance.

Ji Xuan always thought that Lou Mu Yan’s origin might not be as simple as it seemed, but when he heard her question, he couldn’t help but hold his forehead.

He could now be sure that Lou Mu Yan, this cunning, sly woman, really came from a small Kingdom like that Yan’zhou, otherwise it was impossible for her to not even know the Land of Inheritance.

1don’t actually know how author described the woman because it was censored HAHA

2author actually used ‘Yellow Rank’ here, but she could have gotten confused since some other cultivation novels do use a similar but different ranking system.
Either way, I’ve corrected it to ‘Mortal Rank’ (what she mentioned in an earlier chapter somewhere) but I’ll see how many times the author uses ‘Yellow Rank’ and decide which to use eventually.
