At this moment, in the pavilion elder's room of the Clear Pavilion Pavilion, Elder Jiang was already waiting for Hua Ruyi.

"You're back?" Elder Jiang had a benevolent expression as he looked at Hua Ruyi who had walked in, before smiling as he asked.

"Yes, grandpa is back." Hua Ruyi nodded her head, a trace of struggle surging in her heart.

She was an orphan and had been abandoned since birth. If it wasn't for Elder Jiang taking her in, she would have frozen to death or starved to death by now.

Therefore, to her, Elder Jiang was her greatest benefactor. In Hua Ruyi's heart, she treated Elder Jiang as her own grandfather.

However, Elder Jiang treated her very well. He treated her as his own granddaughter, nurturing her, teaching her how to act, and even made her head a part of the Azure Province's Qingxuan Pavilion. It could be said that the reason why Hua Ruyi could have such a day was all because of him.

If not for that incident, Hua Ruyi also felt that Elder Jiang truly treated her well.

However, it was precisely that matter, the matter that Hua Ruyi still did not understand. What kind of price did that person pay that caused Elder Jiang's heart to palpitate? He agreed to sell Hua Ruyi to him.

This diluted Hua Ruoyi's original gratitude towards Elder Jiang by quite a bit. That was because such a thing made her feel that Elder Jiang was not truly treating her sincerely, but was instead treating her as a commodity. The reason why Elder Jiang took care of her so well was because he wanted her to sell her for a good price.

Thus, this time, Hua Ruyi wanted to get to the bottom of this matter. She wanted to get to the bottom of this. She wanted to know what Elder Jiang was thinking.

"Grandfather, this time you're in such a hurry to have me back. Was it because of that agreement?" Hua Ruyi bitterly smiled and asked.

"Hmm?" He gently put down the teacup in his hand and said: "Little Flower, you must be very unhappy with me in your heart. Grandfather must have raised you to such a big extent because you think that your grandfather has another purpose in bringing you up. Moreover, you think that your grandfather has something bad in mind, right?"

"I, I don't think so." Hua Ruyi sighed. Although she denied it on the surface, her tone still explained everything.

"Grandpa knows that even if you didn't say it. Grandpa is already old, but grandpa isn't muddled …" Elder Jiang spoke as if he was sighing, and then he said: "It's just that grandfather also has his own difficulties."

"Also, think about it, when grandfather first took you in and held you, you were only in your infancy. At that time, how could grandfather see that you have such a bewitching body? When you're older, grandfather will discover your difference." Elder Jiang explained, "So you're saying that your grandfather had only supported you for nothing before, and thus decided that you had a seductive body, which was why he raised you?"

"Hmm?" When Hua Ruyi heard the sudden increase in Elder Jiang's voice, she looked at him in astonishment. She didn't expect him to have such a huge reaction.

"Grandfather, that's not what I meant." Hua Ruyi was about to explain.

Elder Jiang interrupted him. "I know what you mean. You don't understand why grandfather wants to sell you to that person, do you?"

Hua Ruyi nodded, this was indeed a question that she could not answer no matter how much she thought about it.

"Alright, today, grandpa will tell you why grandpa wants to sell you to that person." Elder Jiang seemed to know what Hua Ruyi was thinking, as he spoke directly.

"Hmm?" Hua Ruyi was increasingly surprised. She originally thought that Elder Jiang would do his best to conceal this matter, but now, unexpectedly, he wanted to tell her directly.

"I'm sure you don't know this person's identity. But let me tell you, this person is a human with the bloodline of a greater demon." Elder Jiang directly stated the identity of the person who wanted to buy Hua Ruyi.

"What? It's actually a human with the lineage of a Diremonster?" After finding out who that person was, Hua Ruyi was also slightly shocked.

Originally she thought that the person who bought her was a human, but now it seemed that Lin Tian's guess was correct. This person's identity was definitely not that simple.

"That person had an old relationship with the Pavilion Master." Elder Jiang once again said in an earth-shattering manner.

Hua Ruyi was even more surprised. She never thought that her matter would have something to do with the legendary Pavilion Master in the Clear Pavilion.

The pavilion master of the Clear Pavilion was definitely a legendary figure. The Clear Pavilion was located in the Tian Luo Country, and even though it was a private company, their history wasn't too related.

At least, he was still far from the official Tian Luo Merchant Union.

However, even so, under the leadership of the Pavilion Master, the Clear Xuan Pavilion had quickly risen in power. Moreover, they had grown at a rapid pace, becoming a top-notch merchant guild that could rival the Tian Luo Merchant Union.

Strangely enough, no one had ever seen the legendary Pavilion Master before, not even members of any of the major powers.

Other than the Pavilion Elder, who had a position of more than ten thousand under one person in the Clear Pavilion, and Elder Jiang who had seen the Pavilion Master before, no one else had seen this person before.

Hua Ruoyi had previously heard that when she was young, the Pavilion Master had hugged her. However, at that time, Hua Ruyi was still too young, so she naturally couldn't remember the Pavilion Master's appearance.

But now, when Elder Jiang suddenly mentioned that person was actually having an old relationship with the Pavilion Master, Hua Ruoyi was truly shocked.

"Back then, I did not dare to believe it either. However, this is the truth. Lord Pavilion Master, there is indeed an old relationship between you and that person." Elder Jiang explained: "You should have known before that I didn't want to sell you. Even if that person offered me conditions that I couldn't reject, even if I was tempted, I would have rejected them …"

Speaking to this, Hua Ruyi nodded her head. This Elder Jiang was not lying. Moreover, she had heard of these things before. In the beginning, Elder Jiang had indeed rejected that person.

But then, for some reason, Elder Jiang suddenly agreed.

"Could it be … could it be that the pavilion master has made his move?" Hua Ruyi could not help but ask.

"That's right. In the end, I don't know what price this person paid, or what kind of deal he reached with the Pavilion Master. He actually managed to persuade the Pavilion Master to personally step out and speak to me about this …" Elder Jiang's face held a hint of reminiscence, "Little Flower, you should know that the reason why we were able to have this day was all because of the Pavilion Master. The Pavilion Master allowed me to have this day, and I allowed you to have today …"

"Therefore, I can reject treasures and treasures. However, I can't not listen to Pavilion Master's words …" Elder Jiang's face showed some excitement. "At the beginning, I also struggled and struggled, but in the end, I still made up my mind. I'll just consider it as me agreeing to a marriage. So, I agreed."

"However, in the end, I made a condition." Elder Jiang continued, "That is, if you have yet to reach adulthood, he will not be able to take you away. I will wait until you reach adulthood, old enough, before I allow him to take you away."

"So that's how it is." At this point, Hua Rui immediately understood. No wonder Elder Jiang agreed to that person's request. Moreover, he hadn't taken her away for so many years. So it was because of Elder Jiang's request.

"However, now that you have grown up day by day, I have no other choice. Now that someone has brought an item over, I naturally can't refuse it. That's why I asked you to come back." Elder Jiang once again said, "But even so, I was still wasting time with him, so the letter I sent you didn't force you to come back within a day. I just didn't expect that you would come back tonight …"

Hua Ruyi nodded. Elder Jiang did not force her to return, he only said that he would hurry back as soon as possible after settling the matter at hand.

"So, Xiaohua, grandpa can't bear to part with you. Granddad knows why that person wants to buy you, but, grandpa has no other choice but to make you suffer. Granddad has no use for grandpa, grandpa has no way to protect your safety …" At this point, Elder Jiang couldn't help but feel moved and his eyes reddened.

Hua Ruyi's heart ached. Just as she was about to speak, a stream of spiritual will stealthily entered her sea of consciousness.

"Don't believe him, this old fellow is not as simple as you think he is. Remember, you have to ask more about the situation of the person who bought you …" This was Lin Tian's divine sense.

It turned out that just now, after Hua Ruyi had entered the Clear Pavilion, Lin Tian had also quietly used the darkness of the night to sneak into the Clear Pavilion.

Lin Tian was currently a spirit runemaster and his control over Spiritual Force had already reached a level of perfection.

As a result, he had not been discovered while he was moving stealthily.

But on the road, Lin Tian was secretly rejoicing. He could feel that there were countless experts hidden within the Clear Pavilion's headquarters. If he had wanted to force his way in earlier, he was afraid that he would die here today.

At this moment, he was relying on his vast psychic power to conceal his own aura and didn't alert those experts.

Outside, Lin Tian also clearly heard the conversation between Elder Jiang and Hua Ruyi.

This Elder Jiang's words were thirty percent true and seventy percent false, but his sense of propriety was very good. It sounded like it was true.

However, these words were completely unworthy of consideration. Elder Jiang's thoughts were quite deep, and he had put all the blame on that ethereal pavilion master.

Moreover, when Elder Jiang was speaking just now, he had been playing the emotional card game. To Hua Ruyi, this trick was naturally the most effective.

Thus, Hua Ruyi felt that whatever Elder Jiang said was all true.

As a fan of the scene, the spectator could clearly see. Since Lin Tian saw the scene in front of his eyes, he naturally had to remind Hua Ruyi.

Hua Ruyi was slightly startled, but her expression didn't change too much. In her heart, she absolutely believed in Lin Tian. Moreover, Lin Tian's original plan had allowed her to ask a bit more about that person.

Thinking of this, Hua Rui immediately restrained her emotions. She considered the words in her heart, wanting to ask everything about that person.
