Chapter 21: This Young Lady Has No Interest in Knowing You

Xia Qingxue's appearance is on par with Xiao Ruoyu's; her face is exquisite and breathtakingly beautiful, her temperament is fresh and refined, her figure is slender, her skin is fair, and her waist is so slim it could be encircled by one's hands.

Dressed in a white gown, Xia Qingxue looks just like a fairy who has descended into the mortal world.

The young man sighs in admiration in his heart, "What a top-tier beauty."

After he secretly activates his Double Pupil Eye and discovers that Xia Qingxue possesses the legendary Yin Body—specifically the Kui Water Body—he cannot help but feel a surge of joy.

If he can obtain Xia Qingxue and engage in Dual Cultivation with her, he will surely be able to rapidly improve his cultivation in a short period of time.

He sighs inwardly, thinking that the Heavenly Dao still favors him; he has only been away from his sect for a few days, and he has already encountered two great beauties with top-tier constitutions.

If he could possess these two peerless beauties as his Dao companions at the same time, just thinking about it makes him excited.

Xia Qingxue notices the young man's sweeping gaze and feels a wave of disgust, but she does not immediately lash out, as this is, after all, Xiao Ruoyu's courtyard.

The young man walks over and says politely, "Young lady, I am a disciple of the Immortal Sword Sect, Ye Fan. I wonder if we might get to know each other?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingxue's delicate brows furrow slightly, and she frowns with a hint of annoyance.

She dislikes such hypocritical pseudo-gentlemen; he is clearly a lecher who loves beauty, yet he insists on acting so gentlemanly, which is truly disgusting.

She frowns immediately and says coldly, "Sorry, this young lady has no interest in knowing you."

A disciple from a small sect like the Immortal Sword Sect is not worthy of the attention of the eldest daughter of the Xia Family.

"Uh."

The smile on Ye Fan's face stiffens, and a flash of anger crosses his eyes; he did not expect this ignorant woman before him to actually dare to reject him.

He is a Son of Luck, and from birth until now, he has always been pursued and fawned over by others; he has never suffered such humiliation.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene is somewhat awkward, Xiao Ruoyu hurriedly steps in to smooth things over.

"Young Master Ye, Qingxue has always had this temperament. I hope you won't take offense at her blunt words."

Hearing this, Ye Fan's expression finally recovers, and he forces a smile, "Since Miss Xiao has said so, then I shall not hold it against Miss Xia."

He still has to give Xiao Ruoyu some face.

"Young Master Ye is truly broad-minded and possesses an extraordinary demeanor!"

Seeing this, Xia Qingxue cannot help but mock him, her tone filled with sarcasm.

She is not a fool and naturally understands the implication in Xiao Ruoyu's words, but she is not angry at Xiao Ruoyu.

Instead, Ye Fan's hypocritical face makes her want to vomit.

Compared to Ye Fan, Su Chen is a thousand times better; although he also likes beautiful women, he is direct and overbearing when he tells you he likes you, so Ye Fan and Su Chen are completely incomparable.

"You..."

Hearing this, anger churns in Ye Fan's heart, yet he has nowhere to vent it.

He had intended to properly display his gentlemanly demeanor, but who would have thought that Xia Qingxue would not only refuse to give him face but would instead mock him.

He also has no idea how he offended this eldest daughter.

"You what, you!"

Xia Qingxue puts her hands on her hips, glares at Ye Fan indignantly, and adopts an overbearing posture, "You just like Sister Ruoyu, don't you? You want to pursue her."

As she speaks, she hugs Xiao Ruoyu's arm, "However, my Sister Ruoyu is the daughter of a prominent family; she is not someone a wild boy like you, who popped up from who knows where, can lay a finger on."

"This young lady warns you: stop having crooked ideas about her in the future, otherwise, don't blame this young lady for being impolite!"

Her tone is firm and her expression cold and arrogant, as if a queen has possessed her, and her whole body radiates a strong sense of majesty.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's face turns as pale as paper, and his whole body shivers as if he has fallen into an ice cellar.

Throughout his life, he has hated nothing more than others mentioning his humble background; he has suffered no shortage of exclusion from his fellow disciples in the Immortal Sword Sect.

Just a few days ago, he was also mocked and humiliated by the Young Master of the Su Family, Su Chen.

Now, he is being mocked for his lowly background by a beauty he doesn't even know.

How could he possibly endure this!

"Creak~ creak~"

He clenches his fists tightly, his veins bulging, and a fierce, venomous gaze shoots from his eyes; he wishes he could immediately pounce on Xia Qingxue and tear her foul mouth to shreds.

"What, you still want to hit someone?"

Seeing this, Xia Qingxue's willow brows arch, and she glares at Ye Fan aggressively, "Having a lowly background is not your fault, but a toad lusting after swan meat—that is where you are wrong."

"You..."

Ye Fan grinds his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, his entire body radiating a chilling murderous intent.

"Young Master Ye, please don't take offense. Sister Qingxue has always had this personality; please don't take it to heart."

Seeing that the situation is about to spiral out of control, Xiao Ruoyu steps forward, coughs lightly, and says to Ye Fan with a smile, while simultaneously patting Xia Qingxue's arm, "Qingxue, don't be naughty anymore."

Xia Qingxue pulls back her hand and snorts coldly.

A hypocrite like this is not worth her wasting her breath on.

Her goal is to expose Ye Fan's hypocritical face and dispel any favorable impression Xiao Ruoyu might have of him.

After all, she had promised Su Chen that she would help him pursue Xiao Ruoyu.

Therefore, Xiao Ruoyu can only be Su Chen's woman; any other man who attempts to get close to Xiao Ruoyu is an enemy of hers, Xia Qingxue.

Looking at her unyielding and rebellious attitude, Ye Fan secretly swears in his heart that once he becomes powerful, he will definitely make Xia Qingxue kneel beneath him and serve him every night, making her pay a painful price for today's events.

"Sister Ruoyu, it's getting late. Let's go to the Heavenly Dome Auction."

Xia Qingxue takes Xiao Ruoyu's arm and walks toward the door, glaring coldly at Ye Fan as she passes him.

Seeing Xiao Ruoyu walk away, Ye Fan hurriedly turns to follow.

He is also very interested in the Heavenly Dome Auction; he currently has one million Superior Spirit Stones given to him by Xiao Tiancheng, which is just enough to go to the auction and see if there is anything he needs.

————————

Tianqiong Auction House.

A giant tower, towering into the clouds, stands at the peak of the mountain, surrounded by swirling mist like a fairyland, making one look upon it with awe.

The auction was held on a high platform, with countless scions of noble families and heaven-gifted geniuses gathered all around, and even some great experts of the cultivation world were in attendance.

At this moment, inside the office of the person in charge of Tianqiong Auction House.

"Young Master Su, I wonder what business brings you to see this old man today?"

The president of the auction house was an old man with white hair, dressed in white as snow, possessing the refined air of an immortal, clearly no ordinary person at a glance.

"Uncle Chen, this junior has a small matter today that requires your help."

Su Chen sat in a chair, crossing his legs, looking rather roguish.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng looked at him with a meaningful gaze, "Please, Young Master Su, enlighten me."

The Su Family was the number one noble family on the Donghua Continent, and as the person in charge of the Donghua Continent branch of Tianqiong Auction House, he naturally had to give the Su Family some face, so his tone was quite respectful.

Su Chen sipped his tea while slowly speaking, "The matter is like this..."
