Chapter 177: Growing Closer

The next day, the sun was rising, and Wu Xiulin had already come to Jiang Feng's house.

"Brother Jiang, are you awake? Wu came to invite Brother Jiang to go to yesterday's appointment!"

When the door opened, Jiang Feng was already familiar with the tidying up, and appeared in Jin Feng's red clothes, looking even more chic and handsome in the warm sunshine, even Wu Xiulin was slightly inferior.

"Brother Lao Wu, let's go!"

The two exchanged a salute and left side by side.

Jiang Feng's room was adjacent to Dugu Shengyi, which was convenient for him to take care of Dugu Shengyi, who was sleeping at this time, while the room of Summer Night and Ghost Dream was opposite them, separated by a wide open space. At this time, Xia Ye Di and Youmeng opened the door and saw the backs of Jiang Feng and Wu Xiulin leaving the Wuhou Mansion.

Yesterday, Wu Xiulin proposed that there was an auction held in Wuhou County today, and he wanted to invite Jiang Feng and the three of them to have a look, so that they could take a tour around Wuhou County to browse the beautiful scenery and customs of Wuhou County.

It's a pity that Youmeng bluntly said that he was not interested, and Jiang Feng and Xia Yeyan had to leave one person to take care of Dugu Shengyi, and in desperation, coupled with the unwillingness to live up to Wu Xiulin's kindness, in the end, Jiang Feng could only go to the auction alone with him.

Youmeng walked to Xia Ye's side with his arms around his arms, looked at the back of Wu Xiulin, who was gradually moving away from Jiang Feng, and fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yu?"

Seeing her frowning eyebrows, Summer Night couldn't help but wonder.

"Oh! nothing...... What do you think...... Do people like Wu Xiulin's father and son really exist?"

Xia Ye was stunned when he heard this, blinked his bright eyes, looked at the dream with a little puzzlement, and wondered: "Is this a philosophical question? Do you want to discuss with me the practical and abstract meaning of the so-called 'existence'?"

"Oh, no! I didn't mean that!"

Youmeng waved her hand again and again, but she didn't expect Xia Yeyan to misunderstand, and just as she was about to explain, the latter had gently hugged her shoulders and said softly: "Although I don't know what you think, Wu Xiulin's father and son are indeed real in front of us." ”

"Maybe I'm overthinking it!"

Youmeng whispered, Xia Yeyan smiled slightly, turned around and went to Dugu Shengyi's room to check his current situation, leaving Youmeng alone and still pondering.

"Maybe it's really because I'm too careful, or maybe it's because the world we live in has been different from the beginning, the experiences are different, and the feelings are naturally different...... In any case, you have treated me with sincerity and given me what I have not had in more than ten years of life, and I will not put you in danger!"

Yu Meng looked at the back of Xia Ye's departure, his heart echoed, and finally turned around and left the room, wandering around the Wuhou Mansion. She was born and raised in the Demon Sect since she was a child, and in that environment, all her knowledge and education made it difficult for her to believe that there were people like Wu Zhenfang's father and son in the world.

Everything they showed was sincere, so sincere that it made the dream feel unreal, and she didn't know if it was her own delusion or worry, or the sequelae of years of life in the sect.

However, you, what makes Youmeng's heart restless is that she intuitively feels a trace of disgust for Wu Xiulin, there is no reason, there is no basis to argue, but this feeling is always difficult to eradicate.

......

"Brother Jiang, although the auction of this Juxian Pavilion is not as grand as that of Juxian Tower, there are also many rare treasures, you don't need to be polite if you fancy anything, just auction it directly, and I will give you a meeting gift!"

There is no branch building of Juxian Lou in Wuhou County, Juxian Pavilion, which is already the largest property under the command of Juxian Lou in this county, and this auction is held here.

Wuhou Mansion was one of the VIPs invited by Juxian Pavilion, and Jiang Feng and Wu Xiulin naturally had someone to wait for them, sitting in the VIP room and waiting for the grand event to officially begin.

"Brother Wu's kindness, Jiang Feng's heart has it, it's just that I have already caused a lot of trouble to my martial predecessors and you by living in the Wuhou Mansion, so how can I bother Brother Wu to break my wealth for me now?"

Wu Xiulin was kind, Jiang Feng finally refused, even if Wu Xiulin persuaded him many times after that, Jiang Feng still insisted on not allowing it, Wu Xiulin was bold and generous, but he couldn't help but be reserved, let alone pull this cheek.

"New and old friends, the old man Wuhou County Juxian Pavilion Master, today is hereby presiding over the auction event, thank you for the distinguished guests who deigned to come to participate, the rules must have been well known to everyone, gossip Mo Yan, let's start the auction of the first item!"

The lights in the field went out suddenly, and only a pillar of light gathered on the pavilion master of Juxian Pavilion, and the old pavilion master briefly described the opening remarks, and finally officially began to preside over the auction event in anticipation.

When I was young, the gong sounded, and three beautiful women stepped into the eyes of everyone side by side, they looked only twenty years old, graceful figures, dressed brightly, but always lowered their eyebrows, and a trace of sadness and sadness flashed on their faces from time to time.

"The first thing in the auction is these three female slaves, and the three of them all retain their virgin bodies, and they all have the cultivation of the early stage of the underworld, and the seller has carefully adjusted, whether it is as a double cultivation furnace or a love slave plaything, it is not a good choice, the seller asks for 5,000 karma yuan beads, and each increase shall not be less than 100 karma yuan beads. Fellow Daoists, please!"

After the pavilion master finished speaking, the sadness on the faces of the three women became even stronger, and many children of the family in the field saw the rise and began to compete for quotations. In the eyes of those who bid, these three women were not treated as human beings at all, they were just commodities, just playthings.

In the VIP room, Jiang Feng suddenly saw this scene, but his eyes were round, Huo Ran stood up in his chair, and looked at the auction below in disbelief, his eyes gradually angered.

"Alas......" Wu Xiulin sighed when he saw him like this, and asked, "Brother Jiang, you seem to be surprised?

Jiang Feng shook his head slowly, his emotions fluctuated violently, and he replied: "I know that some auction houses will auction this kind of love slave female cultivator, but I never expected that the property under the command of Juxian Lou would also be auctioned at such a grand event?"

"Then Wu would like to ask Brother Jiang, what kind of illusion will make you think that Juxian Lou will not do this kind of business?"

Jiang Feng suddenly turned his head and looked at Wu Xiulin with some surprise, wanting to say something, but in the end he could only sigh.

"The more glamorous the place, the more it is a place to hide dirt and dirt! Juxianlou has too many industries under its name, and the fields involved are too wide, even if they open their doors to do the leather and meat business, I will not be an exception. Besides, the sale of love slave female cultivators in the cultivation realm has long been commonplace, you have never seen it before, but from today onwards, you will see more and more similar phenomena!"

"You're right, I'm ...... Can't stop it!"

Jiang Feng sat back in the chair dejectedly, Wu Xiulin was silent for a few breaths, now the price in the field has reached eight thousand karmic yuan beads, three love slaves, even if there is a netherworld realm cultivation, it is not worth the higher price.

"Ten thousand karma yuan beads!"

Suddenly, Wu Xiulin made a bid, and the atmosphere in the arena was quiet for a moment, and almost all the monks looked sideways, even Jiang Feng looked at him in disbelief.

The VIP area is generally where the big forces in Wuhou County are located, women, love slaves, how many they want, they don't look down on this kind of goods on the stage at all, but Wu Xiulin's sudden bid greatly surprised everyone.

"The cultivation realm has never been an immortal realm outside the world, and there has never been a shortage of cruelty, indifference, deceit, and killing...... And these good-looking low-level female cultivators can be said to be the most pitiful, they have a beautiful dream to step into the world of what they think is a beautiful 'immortal', thinking of immortality, wanting to be a human being, but there is no big background, no big cultivation, no great creation, the final fate is already doomed, so, this is the end!"

"Brother Martial ......"

"Eleven thousand karmic yuan beads!"

Just as Wu Xiulin finished speaking, Jiang Feng was just about to ask a question, the sound of a price increase came from another VIP room again, which made the cultivators present in an uproar, very puzzled, and even many people had begun to re-examine the three female slaves to determine if they had missed something crucial.

"Suwang Valley, I knew they would definitely get in the way!"

Wu Xiulin smiled and mocked, turned to look at Jiang Feng and said: "I remember that my grandfather once taught me when he was alive, he said that the cultivation realm is a melting pot of desires, and a monk wandering in such a world is actually tantamount to indulging his own desires, but only by sticking to his heart can he see his true self." So, we can't stop this, but we can still do what we can, even if it's just a gesture!"

"Thirteen thousand karmic yuan beads! If Suwang Gu is really interested, Wu Xiulin will give it up!"

Wu Xiulin didn't want to be entangled with Suwanggu anymore, so he quickly cut through the mess, sure enough, in the VIP room where Suwanggu was located, Elder Bi Cong was also among them, and he gritted his teeth and hated at this time, and the elder who led the charge did not continue to increase the price in the end, they just wanted to raise the bar and tease Wu Xiulin, but if it was really a mistake in the end, he spent more than 10,000 yuan beads to buy back the three female slaves, and the sect would definitely be held responsible.

"Only by sticking to one's heart can we see the true self!" Jiang Feng looked at Wu Xiulin, who stood up again, savored his words, and felt that he had benefited a lot, "Brother Wu, I have been taught!"

"Thirteen thousand karmic beads, the first time! Thirteen thousand karmic beads, the second time! Thirteen thousand karmic beads, the third time! Deal! These three female slaves belong to martial arts friends!"

The master of the Juxian Pavilion was settled, and the three female slaves were immediately escorted to the VIP room where Wu Xiulin was. The first auction set off a small turmoil, and the old pavilion owner struck while the iron was hot, and then began the auction of the second treasure.

Somewhere in the auction hall, the trafficker who sold the three female slaves was not happy at this time because of the unexpected high price, and even felt a trace of fear in his heart for no reason, he didn't know if he had made some unconsciously fatal mistake, and he had no intention of staying, he hurriedly settled the profits and immediately left Juxian Pavilion.

"Slave and maid meet their master!"

The three female slaves greeted Wu Xiulin in unison, respectfully and obediently. Jiang Feng and Wu Xiulin glanced back at them, and when they saw a hint of joy in their expressions, they knew what they were thinking.

Although the three of them didn't understand why Wu Xiulin bought them at a high price, they also knew themselves, at least they knew that the reason was not because Wu Xiulin coveted their appearance. It is rumored that the little marquis of Wuhou Mansion has a very good character, and he doesn't have to worry about his life as his slave.

"You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank this Jiang Gongzi beside me, if he hadn't moved his compassion, I might not care about you!"

When the third daughter heard this, she turned to Jiang Feng, who was handsome in red on the side, and immediately bowed to him and thanked him for a long time. Jiang Feng looked at Wu Xiulin and shook his head with a smile, but didn't say anything.

Wu Xiulin was telling the truth, he and Jiang Feng had different experiences, this kind of thing had long been commonplace, if Jiang Feng was not present today, if it wasn't for Jiang Feng's face, he might not really care about the life and death of the three female slaves.

Helping is benevolence and righteousness, and not helping is duty!

But in Jiang Feng's opinion, Wu Xiulin can truthfully say his original intentions, without the slightest intention of self-promotion, which shows that his heart is upright, and with his personality, Jiang Feng can't help but get a little closer to him.

"Okay!" Wu Xiulin's indifferent voice came again, "I bought you and saved you from the sea of suffering, because I wanted you to live as a person, not to grovel and be a slave." I will give you two choices, first, I will pass on your cultivation method and train you to be used by the Hou Mansion, with your age and qualifications, it is enough to use, and after that, I will stay in the Wuhou Mansion to serve;

Choosing first, the three girls looked at each other, thinking and hesitating, Wu Xiulin saw this and said: "Don't rush to give me a reply, go back to Wuhou Mansion later and think about it, and give me an answer in the evening!"

"Thank you, Lord...... No, thank you little marquis, thank you Jiang Gongzi!"

Wu Xiulin waved his hand, the three girls stepped aside, Jiang Feng nodded to Wu Xiulin with admiration, and exclaimed: "Brother Wu is really benevolent!"

Wu Xiulin smiled and shook his head silently, he didn't say anything, the auction was in full swing, Wu Xiulin showed his sophistication and intelligence different from his age, and designed and bid for what he needed many times, so that Suwanggu, who wanted to make things difficult from it, returned several times in vain.

Finally, when the auction was halfway through, a treasure finally appeared that made Jiang Feng's heart move!
