Chapter 1223 The Final Plate

Chu Tianyao was taken by Yan Xueying to a room.

It looks like a warehouse, with hills of documents piled up on the desktop, and the table that was not big was filled with debris. It was also full of debris around it, making it difficult to find a place to settle down.

There is no air conditioner in the room, only an old electric fan, which is temporarily discontinued in winter. A fan heater is parked in the corner of the wall, and the narrow air outlets blow out thin warmth. But compared to the warmth and comfortableness of the VIP room, it is completely incomparable.

Perhaps, this is indeed a temporary office built from a warehouse. Such an environment is not as luxurious as the Tianxiao Pavilion and Jiuyou Palace, but even worse than the rooms he had in the Xuantian Sect!

"Are you working here?" Chu Tianyao looked around. The more he saw everything in the room, the more unbelievable it became.

Even I have to stand up for her. I am also a lady from Tianxiao Pavilion. Look at what life Yan Xuemeng lives and what life she lives?

"I'm relying on my own hands to earn money now, and I don't think there is anything wrong with it." Yan Xueying sorted out the documents on her own and responded lightly.

After many days of separation, she now no longer has the indifference of the "ice beauty" she used to be, but her attitude towards herself is to be polite and alienated.

Chu Tianyao became even more angry when he heard this: "What is your identity? How can you do such a low job?"

He pulled her arm up again without saying a word, "Follow me, I have enough voice even on the entire spiritual continent! As long as I say one thing... I can build your own sect for you, let you be the leader of a sect, and you can enjoy the spiritual stone offerings below and concentrate on practicing-"

He originally wanted to say that as long as he said, he could find a good position for her in Jiuyou Palace. It just so happened that the positions of the Seven Venerables and Eight Venerables had been vacant for a long time. If the Lord of the Palace agreed and asked her to take his position directly, he could be promoted naturally.

However, after thinking about it, she was born in Tianxiao Pavilion after all, and Jiuyou Palace and Tianxiao Pavilion are a thousand-year-old feud. Even if they have been excluded, she probably wouldn't be willing to join the enemy's forces. If she insisted on forcing her, it would be bad for both of them, so she changed her words and said that she would build a sect for her.

Anyway, if she can become the leader of the sect and continue to grow the sect's power, she can become her own vassal. Compared with other venerables, she will not be alone.

"You'll go with me now!" He was so excited that he thought, and he pulled her hard again.

Yan Xueying shook him away with expressionless face, and a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes: "Nine Venerables, you are still like this. You don't know what I really want, and you have never asked me. You are always self-righteous and only arrange my life based on your preferences?"

"When an elder of a sect is worshipped by a high-ranking person and is not as good as the world's fireworks, do you think this is happiness?"

Chu Tianyao blurted out: "Isn't it?"

Yan Xueying smiled coldly: "Then I would like to ask you, you are now the Nine Venerables, and you are more than ten thousand people. On the surface, it seems that you are truly happy for even one day?"

Just as Chu Tianyao was about to speak, Yan Xueying quickly interrupted him: "Don't lie to me. Don't you often wake up in your dreams, lonely and scared, but you are suffering from the fact that no one can talk to you, and you can only survive the long night alone?"

"You are afraid because everything you have now is obtained by selling your conscience; you are lonely because you betray your relatives and you have no close friend around you."

"I have heard of your fatigue in the jade slip... During the day, you can be domineering and let me do this and that. But at night, you can only pray to your chess piece for some comfort... Do you know, when I think of you, I really feel sorry for you."

She said, I don’t hate you, I just pity you.

The contempt and pity intertwined in her eyes deeply hurt Chu Tianyao's remaining self-esteem.

Her words did hit her weaknesses, those he never dared to face or admit...

"The height is so cold. The highest position is really not that easy to sit, and not everyone likes to sit." Yan Xueying pulled the corners of her mouth sarcastically, and her eyes looked straight into his heart, "Even if you are so obsessed with power, you are like this, let alone others?"

"So, please stop arbitrarily arrange my life. The two of us have already returned to the bridge and road, and there is no relationship anymore."

Chu Tianyao felt heartbroken and anxious. He couldn't hold back in a hurry and grabbed her shoulders with both hands.

"Xueying... It doesn't matter if you don't accept my help. I just want you... okay if you come back?"

"Yes, I admit that after you left, I couldn't sleep well every night. No one could say the pain in my heart... You cut off all my contact information and didn't even give me a chance to make up for it. This would be too cruel to me..."

Yan Xueying's smile is cold, like the frost flowers blooming in winter, beautiful but ruthless.

"Is that right? But after leaving you, I don't know how good I slept every day. It seems that this is indeed a correct decision."

Chu Tianyao tried his best to suppress the pain. He thought that if he became the Nine Venerables, he would no longer bow to the world. But now, facing a little woman exiled by Tianxiao Pavilion, he could only bear the pain and bow down to her, just to make himself feel comforted when he was lonely and desperate.

"I'll ask you... I'll give me another chance? Even if I was obsessed with it at the beginning, from now on, I will never force you to do things you don't like. As long as I need it, I can contact you..."

"No need." Yan Xueying interrupted him, as if she had lost patience with the conversation.

"The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. I know you very well, and you can't change it."

"In your heart, interests and feelings, you will always put interests first! Only when you get benefits will you turn back and pursue your missing feelings. But feelings are not that cheap, they will not stay where they are, waiting for you to pick them up."

Perhaps, this is his weakness.

He values ​​interests, but he can't give up his feelings. He cannot be a completely ruthless and heartless person. Therefore, after betraying others, he cannot enjoy the fruits with peace of mind.

He is not a good person, but he is not an absolute bad person. He is always in the cracks, washed away by the torrents of good and evil, interests and morality. Therefore, he lives in such a painful life.

"Xueying, it is unfair to me that you say this..." Chu Tianyao speeded up his speech as if to escape the entangled shadows, and couldn't wait, "Give me a chance, let's have a good talk and let me prove that I'm not..."

Yan Xueying raised her eyelashes lightly and suddenly replied with an irresponsible question, "The auction is over, and the phoenix tears have already belonged."

"The next item is the fragment of Fangtian Baoding that you came specifically for it."

Chu Tianyao was stunned. At this time, the sound of being enlarged by the microphone in the store was indeed heard in his ear.

“…three times, the deal!”

"Of course you have to rush back to bid for the auction." Yan Xueying continued for him, "So, even if you know that if you walk out of this door today, I will disappear in your life again! But you will still walk out, right?"

Speaking of this, she actually smiled with satisfaction, as if she was happy to appreciate Chu Tianyao's embarrassment.

"If you want to talk about it, let's talk about it here now. You can only choose one of the two of me and the fragments of Fang Tian Baoding."

Chu Tianyao was very anxious. Unexpectedly, in this short moment, he was thrown into the crack again. On one side was the palace master's order, on the other side was the woman he cared about... He was really in a dilemma!

"Xueying, can you wait for me?" He could only try to ask her, "After I bid, I will come back soon..."

"Impossible!" Yan Xueying interrupted without mercy and glanced at him with a strong arrogance, "I will never wait for you. After this moment, you will never want to talk to me again. In the future, we will be completely strangers!"

"Why did you insist on forcing me?" Chu Tianyao grabbed his hair irritably. He was not going to leave for a moment, nor was he stayed.

He hates being threatened... He has always hated it!

At this time, the next item's report had already sounded, and time really didn't wait for anyone.

After struggling all kinds of things, Chu Tianyao still made the final decision.

"Xueying, wait for me...you must wait for me! I will come back to find you immediately after bidding!"

After leaving these few words behind in a hurry, he didn't even care about looking at her for a long time, so he turned around and rushed out of the room.

Looking at his back that was no longer nostalgic, Yan Xueying couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Still left... Sure enough, this person will never change.

If it were him... the figure of the young man Ling Tianshuang appeared in Yan Xueying's mind again. Since she parted, that figure would always flash in front of her eyes from time to time, and it would always arouse her sweet heartbeat.

If it were him, he would be happy to save those souls struggling in the darkness. However, he is not such a saint, nor such leisure.

So, those who will pull themselves into the abyss... Just stay away from it completely...

...

Chu Tianyao hurried back to the VIP room, but his heart was still as messy as hell.

"Nine Venerables, you are finally back!" Mu Hansha immediately came up anxiously when he saw him.

Then, he briefly introduced the situation of the previous auction.

"Phoenix Tears, I've been photographed by the Flame Ghost Emperor just now."

"The fragments of Fang Tian Baoding have started shooting now. The starting price is only 10 million spirit stones, but not many people have yet to compete."

"The auctioneer did not explain its value. He just said, 'This is a piece of fragment of unknown origin. As for what functions it has, you still need to discover them yourself.' I think this has greatly discouraged the guests' interest."

Now the guests in the venue are roughly divided into two groups, one of which is a real big shot. They know that they are the fragments of Fang Tian Baoding that have been causing a lot of controversy in the underground market recently, and they also know that they are what Jiuyou Palace wants. Now that the Nine Venerables are here, why should they cause trouble?

The other group is ordinary people. They don’t know the Fang Tian Baoding and cannot recognize this fragment. They will not bid for an ordinary fragment, and they even have to wonder why this kind of thing can be taken to the auction hall.

It is precisely the coexistence of these two layers that lead to the fragments of Fang Tian Baoding, which were originally the finale, and there are few bidders.

Chu Tianyao nodded silently. If this is the case, it would be the best.

"Nine Venerables... are you okay?" Mu Hansha saw that he looked unhappy and tentatively cared about it, "What do you say about the vicious competition for Phoenix Tears in the auction hall?"

When Chu Tianyao left just now, he just said that he was going to the auction house to argue. Maybe Mu Hansha thought that his current loss of composure was also caused by the unpleasant talks with the auction house.

Chu Tianyao finally came to his senses, but did not answer directly. He waved his hand and sat down on the sofa, checking the price on the screen.

"It's okay. Get ready to bid."

End the auction as soon as possible, and go back to Xueying to explain clearly... This time, he didn't want her to wait too long.

The starting price of 10 million yuan is only a few collectors who don’t know the basics, and they tried to add millions, so the price of fragments is still around 15 million.

After waiting for a while, the price stopped rising, and Chu Tianyao pressed 20 million on the screen.

"Five thousand spirit stones!"

Unexpectedly, after the auctioneer reported that the VIP guest bid 20 million yuan, a very disharmonious voice suddenly sounded in the venue.

Chu Tianyao frowned suddenly, who was causing trouble for himself!

——The person in the hall is Li Binghe from the Qingxin Martial Arts Hall.

This year, everything was not going well. First, his father was forcibly stuffed into a mortal martial arts hall. He finally met a beautiful little girl here. He was about to soak her for a few days, but she was taken away by her old rival Ye Shuo. Now, Yang Qingxin has no one else in her mouth, and she is talking about her "Brother Ye" all day long, with her face full of sweetness and shyness as a girl in her first love.

Next, I joined in the fun and followed him to participate in the Tiangong Gate assessment, but unexpectedly failed the exam.

He knew what he was about. It was no big deal to fail the exam. The key was that Ye Shuo, who stole his girl, not only passed the assessment smoothly, but also won the top ten, and was in great honor!

Li Binghe is so angry! Anyone is good, why is it that boy?

In order to be angry, he didn't want to go back to the martial arts hall for the time being. He temporarily lived in Tiansheng Kingdom, brushing the magic crystal card given by his father every day, spending money like flowing water to relieve his depression.

Finally, the pain in his heart was healed a lot by money. Ye Shuo seemed to be against him, and then he participated in the ancient battlefield trial of the live broadcast of the world, making a big splash again...

I was so angry, I almost smashed the jade slip when I saw that annoying face appeared.

This time, ordinary consumption could no longer eliminate his resentment, so Li Binghe, who was angry, came up with a new idea.
