Chu Tianyao was led by Yan Xueying and came to a room.

It looks like a warehouse, with a mountain of papers piled up on the table, and the small table is even more full. There are also piles of debris all around, and it is difficult to find a place to stay.

There was no air conditioning in the room, only an old electric fan, which was also out of use because it was winter. There is a heater parked in the corner of the wall, and the narrow air outlet blows out patches of thin warmth. But compared to the warmth and comfort of the VIP room, it is completely different.

Perhaps, this is indeed a temporary office space converted from a warehouse. Such an environment, not to mention that it is not as luxurious as the Tianxiao Pavilion and the Nine Shades Palace, and even worse than the room in the Xuantian Sect at the beginning!

"You're working here?" Chu Tianyao looked around. The more you see everything in the room, the more incredible it becomes.

Even I have to fight for her. is also the young lady of Tianxiao Pavilion, look at what kind of day Yan Xue dreamed of, and what kind of day did she live?

"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 long time, now she does not have the indifference of the "ice beauty" she once had, but her attitude towards herself is rejective, polite and alienated.

Chu Tianyao was even more angry when he heard this: "What is your identity, how can you do such a lowly job?"

He couldn't help but say, and pulled her arm again, "You come with me, I now have enough right to speak even in the entire Spirit Continent......! It is completely possible to build a sect of your own for you, so that you can be the master of a sect, and you don't have to do anything every day, you can enjoy the following spirit stone offerings and concentrate on cultivation——"

He originally wanted to say that as long as he said a word, he could also find a good position for her in the Nine Shadows Palace. It just so happens that the positions of the Seventh Venerable and the Eighth Venerable have been vacant for a long time, and if the hall master agrees to directly let her take her position, then she can be promoted logically.

However, after thinking about it, she was born in Tianxiao Pavilion after all, and the Nine Shadows Hall and Tianxiao Pavilion were a thousand-year-old feud, even if she had been excluded, presumably she would not be willing to join the enemy's forces. If you have to be reluctant, it will not be good for both of you, so she changed her mouth and said that she would build a sect for her.

Anyway, if she can become the sect master and continue to grow the power of the sect, she can just become her vassal. Compared to other Venerables, he will not be alone.

"You come with me now!" he thought for a while, and he pulled her harder.

Yan Xueying shook him off expressionlessly, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes: "Nine Venerables, you are still like this." You don't even know what I really want, and you never ask me. You're always self-righteous, arranging my life only to your liking?"

"When an elder of a sect is enshrined on a high level and does not eat the fireworks of the world, do you think this is happiness?"

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

Yan Xueying smiled coldly: "Then let me ask you, you are now a Nine Venerable, one person is above ten thousand people, on the surface, it seems that the scenery is indeed infinite, but are you really happy even for a day?"

Chu Tianyao was just about to speak, but Yan Xueying quickly interrupted him: "Don't lie to me. Don't you often wake up in your dreams, lonely, scared, but suffering from having no one to talk to, and having to spend the long night alone?"

"You are afraid because everything you have now is what you have in exchange for selling your conscience, and you are lonely because you have betrayed your relatives and have no close friends around you. ”

"I've heard of your exhaustion in the jade slip...... During the day, you can dictate to me to do this and that. But at night, you can only pray to your pawns for a little comfort...... You know, I really pity you when I think of the way you look. ”

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

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

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

"It's cold at the top, and it's really not that easy to sit in, and not everyone likes to sit. Yan Xueying pulled the corners of her mouth mockingly, and her eyes looked straight into his heart, "Even if you are so obsessed with power, you are still like this, let alone others?"

"So, please stop arranging my life arbitrarily. The two of us have returned to the bridge and the road to the road, and there is no longer any relationship. ”

Chu Tianyao felt a heartache and anxiety, and in a hurry, he couldn't bear it, and grabbed her shoulders tightly with both hands.

"Snow Shadow...... It doesn't matter if you don't accept my help, I just beg you...... Will you be back?"

"Yes, I admit it, after you left, I couldn't sleep well every night, and no one can say anything about the bitterness in my heart...... It's cruel to me that you cut off all communication with me and don't even give me a chance to make amends......"

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

"But after I left you, I didn't know how well I slept every day. It seems that this is indeed the right decision. ”

Chu Tianyao tried his best to suppress the pain, he originally thought that as the Nine Venerables, he could no longer bow to the world. But now, in the face of a little woman who was banished by Tianxiao Pavilion, he could only endure the pain and bow down to her, just so that he could have a comfort when he was lonely and desperate.

"I ask you...... Even if I was obsessed with it, from now on, I will never force you to do things you don't like to do, as long as I can reach you when I need ......."

"There's no need anymore. 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 go back and pursue the feelings you are missing. But feelings are not such a cheap thing, it doesn't stay where you want to stay there all the time, waiting to pick it up if you want to. ”

Perhaps, this is his weakness.

He values interests, but he can't give up his feelings, he can't be a ruthless and heartless person through and through. 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 middle of a crack, washed by the torrent of good and evil, profit and morality. That's why he lived so painfully.

"Snow Shadow, it's unfair to me if you say that......" Chu Tianyao seemed to be trying to escape those entangled shadows, he quickened his speech, and couldn't wait, "You give me a chance, let's have a good talk, let me prove that I am not ......"

Yan Xueying's eyelashes lifted slightly, and she suddenly answered the question softly: "The auction is over, and the Phoenix Tears already have a home." ”

"The next lot is the fragment of Fang Tianbaoding that you came for it. ”

Chu Tianyao was stunned, and at this time, in his ears, the sound of being amplified by the microphone in the store sounded.

“…… Three times, deal!"

"Of course you have to rush back to the auction. Yan Xueying said for him, "So, even if you know that if you walk out of this door today, I will disappear from your life again!

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

"If you want to talk about it, talk about it right now. Fang Tianbaoding fragment and me, you can only choose one of the two. ”

Chu Tianyao was anxious. Unexpectedly, in this short moment, he was thrown into the gap again. On the one hand, it is the order of the hall master, and on the other hand, it is the woman he cares about...... He was really in a dilemma!

"Snow Shadow, can you wait for me?" he could only try to ask her, "I'll be back as soon as I bid......"

"Impossible!" Yan Xueying interrupted mercilessly, squinting at him with a strong arrogance, "I will definitely not wait for you." After this moment, you don't want to talk to me again. From now on, we will be completely strangers!"

"Why do you have to force me!" Chu Tianyao grabbed his hair irritably, he really didn't leave for a while, and he couldn't stay.

He hates to be threatened...... It's always annoying!

At this time, the curtain of the next lot has sounded, and time is really waiting for no one.

After struggling in every way, Chu Tianyao still made the final decision.

"Snow Shadow, you're waiting for me...... You must wait for me! I'll come back to you as soon as I bid!"

Hurriedly left these few words, he didn't even bother to look at her more, so he turned around and rushed out of the room.

Looking at his nostalgic back, Yan Xueying couldn't help but smile bitterly.

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

If it's him...... In Yan Xueying's mind, the figure of the young man Ling Tianshuang appeared again. Since the separation, that figure has always flashed in front of her eyes from time to time, and it can always stir up a sweet heartbeat in her.

If it were him, he would have been happy to save the souls who were struggling in the dark. However, he is not such a saint, nor is he so leisurely.

So, the one who will pull himself into the abyss...... Just stay away completely......

……

Chu Tianyao hurried back to the VIP room, his heart was still chaotic.

"Nine Venerables, you're finally back!" As soon as Mu Hansha saw him, he immediately greeted him anxiously.

He then gave a brief overview of the previous bidding.

"Phoenix Tears, it has been photographed by the Flame Ghost Emperor just now. ”

"The fragment of Fang Tianbaoding has also started to be auctioned now, and the starting price is only 10 million spirit stones, but there are not many people bidding to compete yet. ”

"The auctioneer didn't say exactly what it was worth. He just said, 'This is a fragment of unknown origin, and as for what it does, you need to discover it yourself.' I guess that discouraged the guests a lot. ”

Now the guests in the venue are roughly divided into two groups, one group is the real big man, knowing that it is the fragment of Fang Tianbaoding that has been in a lot of noise in the underground market recently, and he also knows that it is what the Nine Shadows Hall wants. Now that the Nine Venerables are here, why should they bother themselves?

The other group was ordinary people, who didn't know Fang Tianbaoding, and they couldn't recognize this fragment. They would not even bid on an ordinary fragment, and even wonder why such a thing could be put up for auction.

It is the juxtaposition of these two layers of reasons that has led to the scarcity of bidders for the fragment of Fang Tianbaoding, which was originally the finale lot.

Chu Tianyao nodded silently, if this is the case, then it is also the best.

"Nine Venerables...... Are you okay?" Mu Hansha saw that he looked unhappy, and then tentatively cared, "What do you say about the vicious competition of Phoenix Tears over there in the auction hall?"

When Chu Tianyao left just now, he only said that he was going to find an auction house theory. Maybe Mu Hansha thought that his current gaffe was also caused by an unpleasant conversation with the auction house.

Chu Tianyao finally came back to his senses, but he didn't answer positively, waved his hand and sat on the edge of the sofa, checking the price on the screen.

"It's fine. Get ready to bid. ”

End this auction as soon as possible, and go back to Snow Shadow to make it clear...... This time, he didn't want to keep her waiting too long.

The starting price of 10 million yuan, only a few collectors who don't know the roots, tentatively added a few million, so the price of the fragment is still stuck at about 15 million.

After waiting for a while, the price no longer rose, and Chu Tianyao pressed 20 million on the screen.

"Fifty million spirit stones!"

Unexpectedly, after the auctioneer quoted that the VIP room guests bid 20 million, a very discordant voice suddenly sounded in the venue.

Chu Tianyao frowned, who is making trouble for himself!

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

This year, he can be said to have had everything wrong. was first forcibly stuffed by her father into a mortal martial arts hall, and finally met a good-looking little girl here, and was about to soak her to play for a few days, but she was taken away by her old rival Ye Shuo. It's good now, Yang Qingxin has no one else in her mouth, she is talking about her "Brother Ye" all day long, and her face is full of the sweetness and shyness of her first love girl.

Next, I joined in the fun and followed to participate in the Tiangongmen assessment, but the result was unexpectedly off the list.

What is his material, he is also clear, it is not a big deal to fall off the list, the key is to rob his sister-in-law Ye Shuo, not only successfully passed the assessment, but also fished in the top ten, and the scenery is prosperous!

Li Binghe is angry! It's good to be anyone, why is it that kid!

For the sake of anger, he didn't want to go back to the martial arts hall for the time being. I temporarily lived in the Heavenly Saint Kingdom, swiping the magic crystal card given by my father every day, spending money like running water, in order to relieve the depression in my heart.

Finally, the bitterness in his heart was cured a lot by money, and Ye Shuo seemed to be against him, and went to participate in the ancient battlefield trial of the world's live broadcast, and once again made a big show......

Angry, angry, when he saw that nasty face appear, Li Binghe was so angry that he almost didn't smash Yu Jian.

This time, ordinary consumption could no longer eliminate his resentment, so Li Binghe, who was indignant in every way, came up with a new ghost idea.
