C118 Goodbye to Wen Ya

Not letting Tang Tiebing follow him, Qin Shaojie proceeded to Lingyun City. It had already been close to a year since he had last appeared there.

It was fortunate that other than the sound of the voices becoming louder, there were no other changes to the Lingyun City.

Here, it was still an extraordinary auction, and the items being traded were even more bizarre, it was a pity that the current Qin Shaojie was not too interested in these. However, when he once again appeared in Lingyun City, Qin Shaojie could still hear some news about him. It seemed that back then, when the auction had erupted, the news of him getting into a bad relationship with the crown prince was still widely spread.

Narrowing his eyes, Qin Shaojie followed his memories and entered a courtyard in the northeast corner of the Lingyun City. Very few people knew that Wen Ya had bought this courtyard from an exceptional auctioneer, and other than herself, very few people would appear in this courtyard.

Back then, before he had escaped the Lingyun City, Wen Ya had told him before that if he were to return to the Lingyun City again, he would directly enter the courtyard if there was anything he could help with.

Originally, he didn't want to bother Wen Ya at this time. After all, if the thing from back then were to fall, it would be a fatal blow to both Wen Ya and the Exquisite Auction House. However, the situation now was such that he had no choice but to find Wen Ya.

Walking to the gate outside the courtyard, Qin Shaojie rang the doorbell. It was a hunchbacked old man, his eyes were muddled, and there was not a hint of emotion in them. He staggered forward, as if every step he took exhausted all of his energy. Only her sparse, neat, and white hair gave people a good impression of her.

Looking at the old man's body, Qin Shaojie's heart sank. This old man looked too ordinary, perhaps others would just treat him as a gatekeeping old man, but with Qin Shaojie's sharp eyes, it was as though he was one with space. It looked like he was walking on the ground, but in reality, his feet were not touching the ground at all, because he did not feel any dust or dirt.

This was an expert, and an expert with extraordinary strength at that. It was probably another Earth Origin Stage.

Thinking to this point, Qin Shaojie also sucked in a deep breath. He had long heard that Lingyun City was one of the few first-rate cities within the Great Yan Dynasty, and it was simply unjustifiable for one to not have Earth Origin Stage. But what surprised Qin Shaojie was that this elder was actually willing to stay and watch the door.

However, Qin Shaojie was also an intelligent person, if the other party thought that he was only treating him as an ordinary old man, then why did he need to be exposed? He took out the pendant that Wen Ya had given him. The exquisite pendant was not big, but the center of the round pendant had a word.

This was a personal item to Wen Ya. Back then, even she most likely did not understand why so many keepsakes were given to Qin Shaojie.

Come in!

Seeing the item that Qin Shaojie took out, the old man's cloudy eyes revealed signs of life, he then turned and allowed Qin Shaojie to enter.

The courtyard was not large, but the arrangement was rather exquisite. In the middle was a small garden, and there were a few houses scattered around it. It was clear that this place was not suitable for a large gathering. After all, there was a distance of some distance between this place and the center of Lingyun City City, so it could be considered to be rather quiet.

After Qin Shaojie made a pot of tea, the elder did not appear again and allowed Qin Shaojie to sit inside.

But Qin Shaojie was not in a rush, he leisurely drank his tea, as for the old man's temper, he did not care. If he had a Earthly Yuan Stage expert accompany him here and chat, it would be a bit unreasonable.

Furthermore, Qin Shaojie did not specially want to notify Wen Ya of her appearance. After all, if he did not guess wrongly, that old man must have some special method to notify Wen Ya of visitors.

"I thought we didn't have the chance to see each other since we parted last time, I didn't expect a little brat like you to come again."

As the night fell, a somewhat enchanting familiar voice came from behind Qin Shaojie. Hearing that, Qin Shaojie also put down the teacup in his hand, and turned to look at the Liangliang guy, a smile plastered across his face.

It had to be said that a year had passed, and time had not left the slightest of scars on Wen Ya's face. That breathtaking scene was something that even Qin Shaojie himself was unable to wipe away with his heart.

This woman was one of the top beauties in both his past and present lives.

However, there was a trace of weariness that flashed in the depths of his eyes. It was obvious that Wen Ya must be very busy during this period. However, they had long since heard that the Exquisite Auction House was basically handing some matters over to Wen Ya to settle, so naturally, there were a lot of things that entangled one's body. Her messy hair fluttered in the wind, it was obvious that Wen Ya had rushed over after hearing that he was waiting for him.

At the very least, the edges of his five senses were much more distinct than before, and had grown a lot taller than before. The most important thing was that when he was near Wen Ya, his breathing carried a trace of an extremely strong sense of male hormone.

This guy seemed to have grown up.

"If you have nothing to say, don't come to the Three Treasures Palace. Say it, what is it?"

As if he had noticed his messy hair, Wen Ya's face reddened, and she gently brushed her hair with her fingers, slowly sitting in front of Qin Shaojie, looking like a strong lady again.

Seeing that, Qin Shaojie also laughed.

"Passing by here, I came to visit Sister Wen Ya."

Looking at the lady in front of him, Qin Shaojie was moved. Initially, he really did not know who gave her the courage to help him escape. If not for Wen Ya herself, it would be difficult for him to escape from the Exquisite Auction House. Even if she could walk out, he would have to pay a huge price.

With a wave of his hand, an extremely exquisite bracelet appeared in front of Wen Ya. This bracelet was completely emerald green in color, and even in the middle of the night, it still flickered with light.

Qin Shaojie had obtained the jade bracelet from Zhou Tian's hands back then, although it was not a special treasure, the jade bracelet had the effect of calming one's mind, wearing it for a long period of time could even rejuvenate the blood circulation, and activate the skin, it was still considered extremely good for women.

Although Qin Shaojie would naturally not be interested in this item in the past, he could only make do with the current situation. After all, giving something else to Wen Ya wasn't really appropriate.

He lightly pulled on Wen Ya's finger and felt the warmth coming from the tip of her finger. That kind of gentleness and smoothness, made Qin Shaojie's heartbeat involuntarily accelerate. This woman was really hard to suppress.

Forcefully suppressing the undulation in his heart, Qin Shaojie gave Wen Ya the bracelet to wear.

Then, he lowered his head again, although he did not realise it himself, this action that seemed to suppress the waves in his heart looked very much like the actions of a boy at his age in Wen Ya's eyes.

The moment Qin Shaojie lowered his head, he also didn't realize that the shock in his eyes had gradually turned into a crimson red face in the beginning. However, when he saw Qin Shaojie's appearance, his eyes seemed to be suffused with water as a intoxicating smile blossomed on his face.

After so many years, even she had not expected that the first time someone of the beast race came into contact with her, he was actually a fourteen-year-old child. She didn't think that she would have any resistance to this child. She even felt a sense of happiness that she had never felt before.

"Thank you for your jade bracelet. It's very beautiful."

He slowly retracted his hand and looked at the jade bracelet in a daze, then spoke out. As the person in charge of the Exquisite Auction, he had seen countless amounts of jewelry, and there were also countless noble young masters who had spent so much money just to get a glimpse of him. If this jade bead was converted in the market price, it wouldn't exceed a hundred thousand gold coins. Most of the time, it would stay at around sixty to seventy thousand gold coins.

If it was anyone else, Wen Ya would not even spare a glance for such a gift.

But the moment Qin Shaojie brought it on for her, she discovered that he seemed to like this jade bracelet a lot.

When he raised his head again, Qin Shaojie had also returned to his previous appearance. Both of his eyes were clear, without a single hint of emotion, but only he knew that the sudden heartbeat seemed to carry a different kind of emotion. Ye Zichen smiled helplessly. This body is only 14 years old. It seems like it has matured a bit too early.

"Since when have you become so shy? Tell me, why are you looking for me?" For the sake of this jade bracelet, I won't charge you money. "

He covered his mouth as he smiled, as if to cover up the waves in his heart. She naturally believed that this jade bracelet was something that Qin Shaojie truly wanted to gift to her, but she did not believe that Qin Shaojie had specially come here to give her this jade bracelet.

Although they hadn't met in this year, Wen Ya had still heard quite a few things about Qin Shaojie in the Holy Flame Academy.

Even though he was certain that Qin Shaojie was not an ordinary person, the things that happened in the Holy Flame Academy still shocked Wen Ya.

"I really did have some matters to attend to this time. On one hand, it's related to the opening of the hundred slots in the ancient ruins of Holy Flame Academy."

After he finished speaking, Qin Shaojie's expression became serious.

If it was in the past, he would not care who the hundred spots were, but now it was different. He had promised Zhou Tian that he would do everything he could to protect the Sunburn Tree and keep the secret of the profound veins, if he had to focus on the spots.

"What else?"
