Chapter 61 Princess Kaguya
Ling Chen paid the full amount of 110,000 taels of gold for the auction at the backstage of Cuiyu Tower and left Cuiyu Tower. 110,000 taels of gold was undoubtedly a staggering amount of money for ordinary people, but for Ling Chen, who now had a net worth of millions, it was a drop in the bucket.
"Ling Chen, don't fall out with Junior Sister Xu over such a small matter. She might be acting irrationally because she's jealous."
Xiao Muyu caught up with Ling Chen and advised softly.
"Of course I won't fall out with her. As an ordinary disciple of Shenyi Sect, what qualifications do I have to fall out with the young master of Tianxu Palace?"
Ling Chen laughed at himself. He was more or less unhappy about what happened just now. If he was not as strong as Li Tai, he would probably be severely humiliated at the banquet.
"See, you said that, it means you care."
Xiao Muyu shook her head. She knew Ling Chen's personality and there was no point in saying more. Then her eyes fell on the exotic girl. The latter looked like a doll , with dull eyes, expressionless face, and did not speak. If she could not hear her breathing, Xiao Muyu would probably think that she was a doll.
"But until now, you haven't told me why you want to buy this girl."
Xiao Muyu still wanted to know why Ling Chen was so stubborn in wanting to buy this girl.
"There's really nothing to hide."
Ling Chen hesitated for only a moment before telling Xiao Muyu the reason and recounting everything he had seen in "Records of Another World".
This was not a big secret at all. Ling Chen was just trying his luck this time and did not expect to gain anything big.
It's just that there were so many people around just now that it was inconvenient for him to tell Xu Ruoyan the reason and the truth in front of everyone, so as not to arouse other people's covetousness. However, the latter's aggressive attitude really made him a little annoyed.
"So that's how it is."
Xiao Muyu then showed a look of realization. In fact, it was not surprising at all. If Ling Chen did not have any intention, he would definitely not take action.
"This little girl is so strange. Aren't children of this age supposed to be very active?"
Xiao Muyu looked at the expressionless girl in front of him and said in a strange way.
"Maybe he's suffered some kind of blow."
Ling Chen did not pay attention to the girl's expression at first, but after hearing what Xiao Muyu said, he also looked at the girl he bought at a high price. The latter was indeed very beautiful and very distinctive. If we only talk about beauty, her appearance is not much worse than Xu Ruoyan. She looks pitiful, which also made Ling Chen feel a little emotional. If he hadn't taken action, the other party would probably have become Ying Wuqing's plaything.
"After all, they were brought here from a faraway place. We don't know how much torture and destruction they suffered along the way."
Ling Chen stretched out his hand and stroked the girl's beautiful black and white hair. Then his voice became much softer, "But from now on, with me by your side, you will never have such miserable days again."
As if touched by Ling Chen's words, the girl's originally dull eyes suddenly moved.
"Hmm? There's a reaction."
Xiao Muyu's beautiful eyes lit up, and she quickly squatted down, looked at the girl in front of her with interest, and asked, "Little sister, what's your name?"
However, her words did not receive any response. The girl was still like a puppet.
"It seems that my efforts have been in vain."
Xiao Muyu spread his hands, looking somewhat helpless.
"My name is...Xiaoyin."
Just when Xiao Muyu was about to give up, the girl's mouth suddenly moved a few times and she actually started speaking.
Seeing that the girl finally spoke, Ling Chen and Xiao Muyu's eyes lit up.
It seems that this girl is not suffering from dementia or something like that. She must have suffered some kind of blow and become so dull.
"Xiaoyin, where are you from? What's the name of your family?"
Ling Chen was very interested in the girl's origins. According to the records in the book, if Xiaoyin was indeed a member of the bloodline family he had read about in the book, then perhaps his move this time would be an extremely correct investment.
However, in response to Ling Chen's question, Xiao Yin looked blank and did not answer.
"It seems that I can't ask any more questions for a while."
Ling Chen was also somewhat helpless. If he wanted to know more information, it would probably take some time.
But now that the other party has spoken, it will be easy. Sooner or later, he will get what he wants to know.
"Ling Chen, when do you plan to return to the sect?"
Without wasting time on this girl, Xiao Muyu turned to look at Ling Chen. The autumn hunt had ended for several days, and she planned to return to Shenyi Gate in the next few days.
"In two days."
Ling Chen thought about it and decided that it was about time to leave, but he still had some doubts in his heart.
Ling Chen still didn't know who was behind the three men in black that he met in the hunting ground. He was worried that he would be in danger once he left the royal capital.
But there was no point in looking back and forth, as he still had to return to Shenyi Gate eventually. The royal capital was not a suitable place for cultivation, and he was destined not to stay there for long.
…
At this time, Li Tai walked out of Cuiyu Tower, feeling a splitting pain in his internal organs and feeling extremely depressed.
From childhood to adulthood, he was a top talent, admired by countless people. But today, he was defeated by a young boy and lost face.
Moreover, the humiliation he suffered today was something he had never experienced in his entire life. From today onwards, how could he hold his head up high?
"Damn Ling Chen, I will not be a human being if I can't kill you!" Li Tai hated Ling Chen to the extreme and roared angrily .
"Li Tai, we are no match for Ling Chen. I think we should just let it go." Zhou Heng sighed and advised.
"Forget it? Impossible!"
Li Tai refused to listen to any advice. He only had one thought in mind, which was to kill Ling Chen to wash away the shame.
"You two have really brought shame to the Ten Great Men of the Capital."
At this moment, a cold female voice suddenly reached the ears of the two.
The voice seemed to carry a bone-chilling chill, causing the two to shiver.
It was as if something was brushing across their necks, bringing a hint of coolness.
A graceful figure shrouded in the night came in front of them.
"Meet Princess Kaguya."
Li Tai and Zhou Heng hurriedly bowed. The Princess Kaguya in front of them was the Emperor 's niece. More importantly, the latter's cultivation had reached the fourth level of martial artist, and she was one of the top three among the ten heroes of the royal capital. Her strength was far superior to the two of them.
If Princess Kaguya really had the intention to kill just now, the two of them would probably have been killed silently by now.
Zhou Heng's forehead was covered with sweat. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Princess Huiye, it's not that we two are incompetent, but that Ling Chen is too abnormal. Originally, we two would not have clashed with him, but he spoke arrogantly and didn't take us ten heroes seriously at all. That's why Li Tai had a fight with him."
"That's right, Ling Chen is too cunning, he hid himself too deeply, so we were deceived by his apparent strength from the beginning." Li Tai also said bitterly.
"Hearing what you said, I am somewhat interested in this Ling Chen."
The figure was very attractive, but the woman's face was not clearly visible. After a while, her voice sounded again, "You two, play your small role and find out where he lives. I will go to meet him tomorrow."
"Yes, we'll do it right away."
The two looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. With Princess Kaguya taking action, Ling Chen would definitely be in big trouble this time.
