Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 1223
Chu Tianyao was led by Yan Xueying to a room.

This place looks like a warehouse, with a mountain of documents piled up on the desk, taking up the small desk even more.The surrounding area is also full of debris, and it is difficult to find even a place to stay.

There is no air conditioner in the room, only an old electric fan, which is temporarily disabled in winter.A fan heater was parked in the corner, and the narrow air outlet blew out patches of thin warmth.But compared to the warmth and comfort of a VIP room, it is completely incomparable.

Perhaps, this is indeed a temporary office converted from a warehouse.This kind of environment, not to mention the extreme luxury of Tianxiao Pavilion and Jiuyou Palace, is even worse than my room in Xuantian Sect back then!
"You work here?" Chu Tianyao looked around.The more clearly you can see everything in the room, the more unbelievable it is.

Even I have to fight for her.It is also the young lady of Tianxiao Pavilion, let's see what kind of life Yan Xuemeng is living, and what kind of life is she living?
"I'm earning food with my own hands now, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it." Yan Xueying replied lightly while sorting out the documents by herself.

After a few days, the current she no longer had the indifference of the "ice beauty" she used to have, but her attitude towards herself was far away from others, polite and alienated.

Chu Tianyao was even angrier when he heard the words: "What is your status, how can you do such a low job?"

He couldn't help but take her arm again, "Follow me, I now have enough right to speak even in the entire spirit world continent! As long as I say a word... I can definitely build a sect of my own for you , let you be the master of a sect, you don’t have to do anything every day, you can enjoy the spiritual stone offerings below, and concentrate on cultivation—”

He originally wanted to say that as long as he said a word, he could find a good position for her in Jiuyou Palace.It just so happens that the seats of the Seventh and Eighth Venerables have been vacant for a long time. If the Hall Master agrees to let her take his place, then he can be promoted logically.

However, after thinking about it, she was born in Tianxiao Pavilion after all, and Jiuyou Palace and Tianxiao Pavilion are a thousand-year feud. Even if she has been excluded, she must not be willing to join the enemy's forces.If you have to force it, it will be bad for both of them, so I changed my mind and said to build a sect for her.

Anyway, if she can become the suzerain and continue to expand the power of the sect, she can just become her vassal.Compared with other venerables, he will not be alone.

"You come with me now!" After thinking about it for a while, he pulled her hard again.

Yan Xueying threw him away expressionlessly, 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 will never ask me. Are you self-righteous and only arrange my life according to your preferences?"

"Being an elder of the sect, being enshrined by a high-ranking person, and not eating the fireworks of the world, do you think this is happiness?"

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

Yan Xueying sneered coldly: "Then let me ask you, you are now one of the Nine Venerables, with one person under ten thousand and one person above ten thousand. On the surface, it seems that the scenery is boundless, but have you really been 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, scared, but suffering from no one to talk to, and can only endure the long night alone?"

"You are afraid because you have sold your conscience in exchange for everything you have now; you are lonely because you have betrayed all your relatives and no longer have a close friend around you."

"I've heard about your exhaustion in the jade slip... During the day, you can boss me around and ask me to do this or that. But at night, you can only pray for a little comfort from your chess pieces... Do you know, think of The way you look, I really pity you."

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

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

Her words indeed hit his own weaknesses, those he never dared to face or admit...

"It's very cold at the top, the highest seat is really not that easy to sit, and not everyone likes to sit." Yan Xueying twitched the corners of her mouth mockingly, and looked straight into his heart, "Even so obsessed You, the Nine Masters of Power and Desire, are like this, let alone others?"

"So, please stop arbitrarily arranging my life. The two of us have already returned to the bridge, and we have nothing to do with each other anymore."

Chu Tianyao was heartbroken and anxious for a while, but couldn't bear it in a hurry, and grabbed her shoulders tightly with both hands.

"Xueying...it doesn't matter even if you don't accept my help, I just beg you...will you come back?"

"Yes, I admit that after you left, I couldn't sleep well every night. No one can tell me the pain in my heart... You cut off all my contact methods and didn't even give me a chance to make up. This is too cruel to me It's..."

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

"Really? But after leaving you, I don't know how well I sleep every day. It seems that this is indeed a correct decision. "

Chu Tianyao tried his best to suppress the pain. He thought that after becoming the Nine Venerables, he would no longer bow his head to the world.But now, facing a little girl exiled by Tianxiao Pavilion, he can only reluctantly submit to her, just to give him some comfort when he is lonely and desperate.

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

"It's not necessary." Yan Xueying interrupted him, as if she had lost patience with this conversation.

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

"In your heart, interests and feelings, you will always put interests first! Only after you get benefits, you will go back and look for the feelings you lack. But feelings are not such cheap things, It’s not going to stay in place, waiting for you to pick it up whenever you want.”

Perhaps, this is his weakness.

He valued interests, but he couldn't let go of his feelings. He couldn't be a completely heartless person.So after betraying others, he can't enjoy the results with peace of mind.

He's not a good guy, but he's not an absolute bad guy either.He is always in the cracks, washed by the torrent of good and evil, interests and morality.Therefore, he lived in such pain.

"Xueying, it's not fair for you to say that..." Chu Tianyao speeded up his speech as if trying to escape those entangled shadows, he couldn't wait, "Give me a chance, let's have a good talk, let I certify that I am not..."

Yan Xueying slightly raised her eyelashes, and suddenly answered the question in a soft voice: "The auction is over, and Phoenix Tears has already belonged."

"The next item to be auctioned is the Fragment of Fang Tian Baoding that you came all the way for."

Chu Tianyao was taken aback for a moment, and at this moment, the voice amplified by the microphone in the store sounded right next to his ear.

"...Three times, deal!"

"Of course you have to rush back to bid." Yan Xueying continued for him, "So, even if you know that if you walk out of this door today, I will disappear from your life again! But you will still go out, is not it?"

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

"If you want to talk, talk here now. You can only choose one of Fang Tian Baoding fragments and me."

Chu Tianyao was very anxious.Unexpectedly, in this short moment, he was thrown into the crack again.On one side is the order of the palace master, and on the other side is the woman he cares about... He is really caught in a dilemma!
"Xueying, can you wait for me?" He could only try to beg her, "I will be back right after I bid..."

"Impossible!" Yan Xueying interrupted mercilessly, squinting at him with a strong arrogance, "I will never wait for you. After this moment, you will never have a word with me again. From now on, we will be completely strangers!"

"Why do you insist on forcing me!" Chu Tianyao scratched his hair irritably, he really didn't want to leave or stay for a while.

He hates being threatened... always!
At this time, the announcement of the next lot has already sounded, and time really waits for no one.

After struggling in every possible way, Chu Tianyao still made a 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 in a hurry, he turned around and rushed out of the room without even caring to look at her more.

Seeing his back with no more attachment, Yan Xueying couldn't help but smile bitterly.

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

If it was him... the figure of that young Ling Tianshuang once again appeared in Yan Xueying's mind.Since the separation, that figure always flashed before her eyes from time to time, and it always aroused her sweet heartbeat.

If it was him, he should be happy to save those souls struggling in the darkness.However, I am not that kind of saint, nor do I have that kind of leisure.

Therefore, people who will pull themselves into the abyss...just stay away completely...

……

Chu Tianyao hurried back to the VIP room, his heart was still in a mess.

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

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

"Phoenix Tears, just now was photographed by the Flame Ghost Emperor."

"The auction of Fangtian Baoding's fragments has already started, and the starting price is only 1000 million spirit stones. However, there are not many people competing to bid."

"The auctioneer didn't clarify its value. He just said, 'This is a piece of unknown origin. As for what functions it has, you need to discover it yourself.' I think this greatly discouraged the guests Interested."

The guests in the venue are roughly divided into two groups. One group is the real big shots. They know that it is the fragment of Fang Tian Baoding that has been making a lot of noise in the underground market recently, and they also know that it is what Jiuyou Palace wants.Now that the Nine Venerables are here, why should they ask for trouble?

The other group were ordinary people who didn't know Fang Tian Baoding, nor could they recognize the fragment.They would not even bid for an ordinary fragment, and even wondered why this kind of thing could be put on the auction floor.

It is the combination of these two factors that led to the rare bidders for the Fragment of the Fangtian Baoding, which was supposed to be the finale of the auction.

Chu Tianyao nodded silently, if this is the case, that would be the best.

"Nine Venerables... are you alright?" Seeing his unhappy expression, Mu Hansha asked tentatively, "What do you say about the vicious competition of Phoenix Tears at the auction house?"

When Chu Tianyao left just now, he only said that he was looking for an auction house theory.Perhaps Mu Hansha thought that his current gaffe was also caused by his unhappy conversation with the auction house.

Chu Tianyao finally came back to his senses, but he didn't answer directly. He waved his hands and sat by the sofa, checking the price on the screen.

"It's all right. Get ready to bid."

End this auction as soon as possible, and go back to Xue Ying to explain clearly... This time, he doesn't want to keep her waiting for too long.

For the starting price of 1000 million, there were only a few unknown collectors who tried to add a few million. Therefore, the price of the fragments has remained at around 500 million so far.

After waiting for a while, the price stopped rising, so Chu Tianyao pressed 2000 million on the screen.

"5000 spirit stones!"

Unexpectedly, after the auctioneer announced that the guests in the VIP room had bid 2000 million, an extremely discordant voice suddenly sounded in the venue.

Chu Tianyao frowned suddenly, who is asking for trouble for himself!

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

This year, it can be said that everything went wrong for him.First, he was forced by his father to a mortal martial arts gym, where he finally met a good-looking little girl, and was about to pick her up for a few days, but in the end, she was picked up by his old rival Ye Shuo first.It's good now, Yang Qingxin doesn't talk about anyone else, she just talks about her "Brother Ye" all day long, her face is full of the sweetness and shyness of a girl in first love.

Next, he joined in the fun and went to participate in the Tiangongmen assessment, but as expected, he failed.

He knew what he was supposed to be. Failure in itself was not a big deal. The key was that Ye Shuo, who stole his sister, not only successfully passed the examination, but also got into the top ten. It was a great success!

Li Binghe is so angry!Anyone is fine, why is it that kid!

Out of anger, he didn't want to go back to the martial arts gym for the time being.He temporarily stayed in the Heavenly Holy Kingdom, swiping the magic crystal card given by his father every day, spending money like running water, to relieve the depression in his heart.

Finally, the suffering in his heart was healed by money a lot, and Ye Shuo seemed to be against him, and went to participate in the ancient battlefield trial broadcast live in the world, and once again made a big splash...

Angry, angry, when Li Binghe saw that annoying face appearing, he was so angry that he almost smashed the jade slip.

This time, ordinary consumption could no longer dispel his resentment, so Li Binghe, who was resentful in every possible way, came up with a new trick.
