Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1499: Chapter 1496 Entering the Field (First Update)

As the voice sounded, a young girl dressed in a gorgeous long dress, with cold, captivating looks, greeted them with a broad smile.

Seeing her, Zhuang Linyan also couldn’t help but smile.

"Jingyi, did you come early?"

"Yes! Father said this auction would be lively, with many high-ranking alchemists appearing who are usually unseen. I came early to see the spectacle! And this is...?"

In fact, Liu Jingyi had already noticed Xue An walking in front as soon as Zhuang Linyan and the others entered the venue.

It couldn’t be helped; Xue An’s white attire was too attention-grabbing.

Setting aside his appearance, Xue An’s tranquil and indifferent demeanor alone was enough to instantly transform Zhuang Linyan into a follower-like maid following behind him.

This aura naturally also easily charmed Liu Jingyi, so after a greeting, she watched Xue An with sparkling eyes full of curiosity.

Xue An, however, felt nothing about this, not even glancing at Liu Jingyi, as he walked straight into the auction hall.

Suddenly, an awkward atmosphere filled the venue.

There was even a hint of anger in Liu Jingyi’s eyes.

As the only daughter of the influential Liu Zhang in the Inner City, she had grown accustomed to a life of adoration from countless people since childhood.

Wherever she went, she was always the focal point of attention, the center of the audience’s gaze.

Especially as she grew up and revealed her astonishing beauty, she became the relentless pursuit of many noble family heirs.

This auction was no exception.

To these noble family heirs, they were merely here for some fun, even treating it as a social dance, a place for flaunting and competing.

And Xue An’s appearance provided Liu Jingyi with her first flutter of interest, prompting her to approach and engage in conversation.

It’s worth noting that her usual personality was extremely arrogant, and taking the initiative to talk to someone was a rare occurrence.

Who would have thought that this white-clothed youth would completely ignore her, treating her as if she were air, and leave directly?

This was the first time Liu Jingyi experienced such humiliation, naturally feeling full of resentment.

As Liu Jingyi’s friend, Zhuang Linyan naturally understood her personality. Seeing the situation, a chill ran through her heart, knowing things might not be good, she quickly spoke.

"Jingyi, this sir is a high-level rogue scholar, so he lacks knowledge of certain etiquettes. Please don’t mind!"

She had thought that mentioning the term "rogue scholar" would make Liu Jingyi back away.

After all, to a heiress from such a prominent family, associating with rogues wandering the wilderness was an impossible connection.

However, what Zhuang Linyan didn’t expect was that upon hearing ’rogue scholar,’ Liu Jingyi’s eyes gradually brightened, "Rogue scholar? Bounty Hunters?"

"Yes!"

Liu Jingyi broke into a smile, suddenly lowered her voice, and said, "Linyan, tell me honestly, did you specially request that invitation for him?"

Zhuang Linyan nodded, about to say something.

Liu Jingyi eagerly asked, "Then you... what’s your relationship with this guy? Lovers?"

Upon hearing ’lovers’, Zhuang Linyan understood what Liu Jingyi was thinking and couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

"What are you thinking, you little girl! How could I be lovers with this gentleman?"

As she said this, the scene of Xue An single-handedly wiping out all of the Outer City’s top figures flashed in Zhuang Linyan’s mind, causing her to involuntarily shiver.

Zhuang Linyan was a very practical person, naturally knowing that figures like Xue An are beyond her reach.

Despite being full of gratitude for Xue An’s assistance, Zhuang Linyan understood their relationship was purely transactional, so these thoughts never crossed her mind.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Zhuang Linyan’s reply, Liu Jingyi’s face broke into a joyous expression.

"That’s good, since he’s not your man, I won’t hold back!"

"Won’t hold back?" Zhuang Linyan was taken aback, then immediately understood the meaning and quickly said, "Jingyi, don’t cause trouble, this gentleman..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Liu Jingyi impatiently waved her hand, "Alright Linyan, I know my limits, but this guy dared to ignore my charm, I naturally have to let him know the prowess of a girl from Liu Family!"

These words left Zhuang Linyan speechless; she naturally understood Liu Jingyi’s temperament, knowing advice was futile.

Fortunately, this gentleman is here for the auction, and he should leave once it’s over!

By then, this little girl might not find him, and as time passes, her attention will naturally fade away.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Linyan helplessly sighed.

"Can’t do anything about you, let’s go, let’s also head inside!"

The auction hall was set up in an extremely spacious and luxurious hall.

In the center of the ring-shaped seats was a high platform, the place used for display.

However, because the auction hadn’t officially started yet, the platform was empty.

But at this moment, quite a few people had already arrived at the auction hall.

These people were dressed in varying styles, some dignified and obviously heirs from noble families, others had ordinary auras but with occasionally cold gleams in their eyes, wilderness hunters.

But the most eye-catching were those few sitting upfront, faces full of pride.

The average age of these people was quite advanced, some even had white beards.

Regardless of age, these individuals wore dark green long robes, with an embossed high tower design in the center. Slight movements caused shimmering light effects, making them appear quite extraordinary.

Having gained much insight over this period, Xue An naturally knew that the tower depicted on the robe was the emblem of the alchemists’ base and Holy Land, the Tower of Truth.

Seeing the three golden leaves surrounding the tower, one could tell these individuals were high-ranking alchemists.

Judging by the respectful attitude towards them from those around, it was evident that high-ranking alchemists were already the pinnacle of the hierarchy in Qingshi Cheng.

However, Xue An also noticed that at the end of these seats were private boxes hidden behind black curtains.

These boxes were specially prepared for prominent figures unwilling to show their faces.

At the moment, these boxes were all occupied, and from time to time, laughter and chatter could be heard from inside.

After surveying the area, Xue An directly chose a secluded corner to sit down.

Despite being dressed in white with nothing peculiar about his appearance,

his distinct aura made the ordinary people sitting nearby somewhat tense.

Of course, being able to enter this auction hall meant these ordinary people were already elites of Qingshi Cheng.

For example, upon seeing Xue An’s arrival, a beautiful woman sitting not far away immediately sat up straight, showcasing her stunning figure, and occasionally teased her hair, deliberately displaying the few secret silver rings on her hands to Xue An.

Unfortunately, her flirtations were ultimately in vain.
