Chapter 1205: A Trial Filled with Hardships
Situ Yi lamented with a sigh, “Little Junior Sister, do you still remember Qinghe Town?”
Qiao Mu nodded. Of course she remembered. After all, that was the place where she first encountered the seven celestial maidens of the Holy Water Sect.
When she thought about this, her gaze dimmed.
Mo Lian grasped her small hand to comfort her, looking up to ask Situ Yi, “That has something to do with this?”
“It does.” Situ Yi nodded. “That time, because of Junior Sister Liu’s willfulness, we lost Senior Brother Wang. After returning to the sect, all the senior and junior brothers couldn’t forgive her.”
“Therefore, Junior Sister Liu left the sect and went out for practical training on her own.” Situ Yi sighed once again. “Afterwards, we never saw her again. Yet this time…”
They actually saw her here? This truly was out of Situ Yi’s expectations.
As a witness, Qiao Mu also remembered Senior Brother Wang’s incident.
Senior Brother Wang promised her that he would stay at Qinghe Town by himself after they finished handling Qinghe Town’s matters.
After they left, Senior Brother Wang had probably chosen to commit suicide by himself.
It was no wonder why everyone in the Heavenly Dao Sect was unwilling to forgive Liu Yexin. They all resented her for causing Senior Brother Wang to get scratched by a zombie because of her willful mistake. In the end, he had no choice but to choose suicide.
How could they forgive her?
Upon mentioning Qinghe Town, Shang Kun also had a lingering fear.
They truly had sacrificed too many teammates during that time’s operation. Many were simply unable to return from Qinghe Town.
Although their final gains were substantial, every time he thought about the huge sacrifice made, his heart would feel uneasy.
“After that operation in Qinghe Town, Liu Yexin left the Heavenly Dao Sect and has been in practical training ever since?” Qiao Mu couldn’t help but be stunned.
She didn’t expect Liu Yexin, this delicate little girl, to truly have the courage to leave her sect with just a bundle on her back.
Going out for practical training as a minor level-two mystic cultivator without her sect’s protection at that time really was lacking.
Come to speak of it, she had more or less left Heavenly Dao Sect for seven to eight years already.
Just now, that auctioneer had said she was a level-four mystic cultivator now. It could be seen that her root constitution potential wasn’t all that great.
“No matter what, the suffering she has gone through these years are enough to compensate for the previous mistakes she made due to her willfulness.” Situ Yi stated lightly, “She is my Heavenly Dao Sect’s disciple, so I must rescue her.”
“Senior Brother Situ speaks the truth.” Liang Qingqing said with a nod, “These bunch of people actually dare to treat females as playthings, auctioning them off for their amusement! Simply incomprehensible!”
After Situ Yi announced a bid of ten thousand mystic currency, that pot-bellied landlord finally gave up.
The people below in the auction room looked at each other, seemingly not expecting this woman to get auctioned off for an astronomical price of ten thousand mystic currency.
It had to be known that in this auction, prices were all valuated with high-grade mystic currency. Ten thousand mystic currency was equivalent to ten high-grade magnetite.
Back then, that beautifying pill that Qiao Mu had tampered with had only been auctioned off for one hundred and three high-grade magnetite. As for this young girl slave, everyone just viewed it as a high price that a nouveau riche quoted because he refused to lose face.
Meanwhile, the auctioneer was very satisfied. When he thought of the commission about to enter his pockets, he couldn’t stop smiling. After striking his hammer three times, he proclaimed loudly, “Room Eight’s guest has obtained this first auction lot for ten thousand mystic currency! It will be delivered to the guest right away.”
