The daily life of a genius who enjoys gossip and cultivates immortality

Chapter 174 Auction 6

"Has he never suspected you all these years?" Gong Cheng asked curiously after hearing Song Yuan's words. It's impossible for someone to go so many years without leaving any trace.

Upon hearing this, Song Yuan smiled charmingly, looking at the other person as if they were an ignorant child: "That guy is quite arrogant. He never doubts the women around him, especially those he's slept with. In his eyes, it's normal for any woman to be with him, except..."

Wen Sishu knew perfectly well that Miss Xiao, judging from Song Yuan's appearance, must have become an indelible scar in Long Tian's heart.

"Besides?" Gong Yu tilted his head; he truly didn't understand the mindset of someone like Long Tian.

"That noble young lady from the City Lord's Mansion, Miss Xiao." Song Yuan spoke of her with great composure.

“You don’t seem to hate her at all!” Wen Sishu said with surprise.

After all, the daughter of the high and mighty Mahayana Immortal Lord and Song Yuan are sisters, yet they have such drastically different fates. It would be hard for someone with a narrow mind not to feel resentment at such a comparison.

Song Yuan looked at Wen Sishu with disdain: "Don't think of everyone as so despicable. Why would I hate her?"

"My mother wasn't killed by her, and I used her to get rid of my father too. My current predicament is all because of my greed, and has nothing to do with her!"

Listening to her words, the group felt that she was a person with a very good spirit, but unfortunately, she was unlucky.

Song Yuan skipped over this topic and continued to talk about her experiences after leaving the secret realm.

After leaving the secret realm, in order not to arouse Long Tian's suspicion, she reluctantly submitted to him. As a Gu person, the Gu she cultivated were quite useful. Within a few months, she became Long Tian's confidante and his right-hand woman.

When Song Yuan and her mother were on the run, they read a few storybooks and thought the other party was a lucky and favored son of heaven.

Anyway, Long Tian is the kind of person who is always generous to the women who follow him. Although she can't leave him for the time being, Song Yuan thought she might as well just go with the flow and take advantage of a few opportunities by his side.

The opportunities of being chosen by fate are rare and hard to come by. She wanted to improve her strength in preparation for an escape, so she went into hiding.

As it can be said, Long Tian indeed had many good fortunes in the days that followed, just as the protagonists in those novels had described. He never entered a secret realm empty-handed, and even with constant setbacks, he still managed to obtain the greatest opportunities within the secret realm. Even when his life was hanging by a thread, he was still able to escape from a desperate situation.

Several times Song Yuan tried to take action against him, but she managed to avoid it by chance. Fortunately, Song Yuan was also good at disguising herself, so Long Tian never suspected her and only thought that Song Yuan was concerned about him.

As the days went by, Song Yuan was almost in despair about avenging herself and wanted to give up, but during her trials, she finally discovered a trick.

"What's going on?" The group seemed to have heard the key point, their voices urgent and excited.

“Chang Xinqing!” Song Yuan’s tone was firm.

"Chang Xinqing?" The crowd asked, puzzled.

"I'm sure you've all heard of her in the city. She's the only daughter of the city lord and currently Long Tian's most favored concubine," Song Yuan introduced.

They had indeed heard of her; she was the only daughter of the city lord of the great city, whom Liu Di had mentioned. She was willing to be a concubine of someone from a small family, sharing a man with a group of women. They wondered what she was thinking.

"Is there something wrong with her?" the group asked curiously.

“The problem is huge!” Song Yuan said, enunciating each word with sarcasm. “That woman is no ordinary person. Only a fool like Long Tian would think she’s a pampered rabbit.”

According to Song Yuan, when he followed Long Tian on his training journey, every time they arrived at a new place, Long Tian would seduce some women for various reasons and bring them into his harem. After this happened many times, it was not surprising at all.

But it was Chang Xinqing who made Song Yuan realize something was wrong. Their meeting was quite cliché: Chang Xinqing, this innocent and naive woman, was cornered in an alley by a few thugs at the Golden Core stage. Long Tian happened to run into her and rescued her. She took a liking to him at first sight and wanted to be with him, even causing a rift with her family.

After much trouble, Long Tian finally accepted this woman who was devoted to him.

It seems like nothing's wrong at all; it's just a classic story of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress. But that's precisely the biggest problem.

First of all, how could Chang Xinqing, the daughter of the city lord of a major city, not have guards around her, especially given that her strength is quite average? Even if she said she wanted to wander around alone and deliberately got rid of the guards, she would still have one or two secret guards with her to protect her. Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for Long Tian to take action, but he didn't.

Moreover, as the city lord of a major city under the Cloud Soaring Sect, a powerful cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage, he must have a very tight control over the city. Furthermore, the other party is the city lord's only daughter. How could the people in the city know nothing about her? Even if, as she said, she grew up in the inner courtyard and never saw outsiders, that would not make sense. Didn't the city lord notice that his daughter was being bullied?

Finally, the biggest problem is that the city lord definitely wouldn't want his only daughter to become someone else's concubine, given that Chang Xinqing and Long Tian are together.

It turned out that this was just a quarrel between the father and daughter, and the city lord never bothered Long Tian, ​​the culprit who abducted his daughter. Later, when the two eloped, the city lord did not chase after them, and he did not appear at the concubine-taking ceremony.

Is this reasonable? It's quite bizarre, isn't it? At the level of Dao Integration and Tribulation Transcending, or even just breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm, offspring are extremely rare. This Tribulation Transcending Venerable must be doting on his only daughter.

The two had even heard in that city about the Transcending Tribulation Venerable's doting affection for his only daughter, yet in the end, she still became someone else's concubine in such a momentous event. This Venerable hadn't even shown his face in such a crucial matter. It was utterly bizarre.

Not only did she find it bizarre, but Nan Xingze and the others also felt that this was an only child! It was quite unreasonable.

Why would Song Yuan know so much about him? Of course, it's because she entered Long Tian's harem with a rather assertive attitude, even the attitude of an empress. Song Yuan, Long Tian's first woman, was also quite favored and trusted by him, so she naturally became a thorn in his side.

He repeatedly set traps for her. Well, Song Yuan was no pushover either, and Long Tian was a rather feudal man, or as Song Yuan put it, quite outrageous.

He built a harem because of his power and charm, and in his mind, the women in the harem were divided into different ranks, comparable to the harems of the mortal world.

Don't you even think about whether you deserve it?

In his eyes, Song Yuan, who had been with him the longest and was his empress, was his queen. As for his concubines, whether they were women of noble status like Chang Xinqing or maids he picked up on the street, they were just playthings in another sense and were not worth his attention at all.

Therefore, when conflicts arise between the two, especially when Song Yuan is with you, he will always defend Song Yuan and reprimand Chang Xinqing. In his eyes, a concubine like Chang Xinqing deserves only favor, and only Song Yuan can manage the harem and his own property like him.

Of course, Miss Xiao's influence was also a factor. Song Yuan was very clear-headed, especially since Miss Xiao had gone to the Qiongyun Dynasty, and he couldn't go to the mortal realm. So Song Yuan became his substitute in the cultivation world.

It's hard to say what kind of complicated feelings he has for Miss Xiao. Of course, these kinds of mobilizations are not recommended, as long as she can use them.

It was precisely because Long Tian paid no attention to his harem and even enjoyed the women around him fighting over him that Song Yuan, who had already sensed something was amiss during their repeated struggles, finally discovered something fishy.

That is, apart from her, the women in the harem, who seemed to be fighting over each other, were actually quite familiar with everyone in the harem.

Isn't that strange? That's really strange!

Following this line of thought, Song Yuan discovered that every opportunity Long Tian encountered was connected, and it could even be said that it was a gift from heaven. Perhaps it was due to his luck, but these opportunities could no longer be entirely attributed to luck.

Song Yuan discovered that another force had intervened. She didn't recognize it, but it was extremely dangerous. The harem and opportunities that Long Tian encountered along the way were all given by this force. They seemed to want to make Long Tian a god! A child of destiny!

Chang Xinqing is the person in charge of this force monitoring Long Tian on the Xuan Tian Continent.

That's why she was able to quickly rise to second place in Long Tian's harem. If it weren't for her blocking the way, she would probably be the undisputed leader in Long Tian's harem.

After that, Song Yuan dared not investigate any further. She was certain that if she continued investigating and was discovered, even with Long Tian around, her life would be in danger in no time.

However, Song Yuan felt that this was enough, since it was beyond her reach to investigate further.

Having uncovered so much, Song Yuan was naturally very wary of Chang Xinqing. After all, the other woman truly had the ability to take her life, but dared not reveal it for fear of arousing her suspicion.

Over the years, all they could do was scheme and fight to a standstill, neither losing ground nor letting the other gain the upper hand.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Song Yuan with admiration. This woman was truly ruthless. She knew so much and was caught in the middle, yet she was still alive and kicking.

Upon hearing the other party's description, Nan Xingze fell into deep thought, as did everyone present, who all felt a strong sense of familiarity, as if they had heard it before.

Finally, Cheng Jiu remembered something that happened a long, long time ago. The Chosen One—that sounded familiar. Wasn't the opposite the Chosen Woman? Or perhaps the Woman of Destiny? She remembered her master mentioning a new term back then: the Upper Realm!

The method used to find a woman with artificial destiny is quite familiar. It could even be said to be exactly the same, except that this one is even more extravagant than that of the disciple from the Cloud Soaring Sect.

Not only did she remember participating in that sect competition, but everyone who had heard Qingxu Immortal Lord talk about it also remembered.

Especially since Nan Xingze was the successor to the sect leader, he knew even more, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, how did things become even more complicated!

Seeing the knowing looks on their faces, Song Yuan blinked, not expecting that they knew about the forces behind the scenes, which made them even more confident in the cooperation between the two sides.

Then her tone became even more sincere, as if she wanted to be absolutely certain, without a single mistake. Knowing the power behind them, she believed that Guiyuan Sect would definitely send Long Tian and that force to hell.

Those born into the world of cultivation never doubt the strength of the five major sects.

Later, they returned to Qingli City. Because Miss Xiao broke off the engagement, Long Tian lost face in Qingli City. Therefore, he harbored extreme resentment towards the Mahayana Immortal Lord who supported Miss Xiao. Moreover, this Mahayana Immortal Lord was backed by the Guiyuan Sect.

He also developed a deep hatred for the Guiyuan Sect, and he wanted to destroy it at all times. Without the Guiyuan Sect and without the Mahayana Immortal Lord, what would Miss Xiao have to rely on? He wished he could bring her down to the dust, and then she would definitely laugh at him.

Even with his current strength, the behemoth that is Guiyuan Sect is nothing compared to it.

At this time, a mysterious person approached him, and the two hit it off immediately, creating Green Fragrance and Qingyun Auction House.

Speaking of this mysterious person, Song Yuan's lips curled into a sneer.

"That guy's personality is exactly like Long Tian's; he looks down on women." At this point, Song Yuan poured himself a pot of tea and gulped it down, his tone tinged with schadenfreude. "At first, it seemed like he had his eye on me, but then Chang Xinqing came in. That woman was probably worried about Long Tian's contact with other forces and wanted to investigate."

The mysterious person who contacted Long Tian actually asked him if he could have Chang Xinqing as a concubine. Long Tian didn't react much, though, you wouldn't believe it. Chang Xinqing's face immediately darkened.

The others nodded in agreement, realizing that Song Yuan's relationship with Chang Xinqing was quite bad.

"I overheard their conversation. That mysterious man seemed to want to take Long Tian under his wing, and his tone was incredibly arrogant. However, he was very generous in giving people and things. As for Long Tian, ​​he just wanted to use the other party to bring down the Guiyuan Sect and make these two families..." At this point, Song Yuan realized something and swallowed the rest of his sentence.

"Anyway, in Long Tian's eyes, the two of them are either using each other or cooperating. I think if they really achieve their goals one day, I wonder who will betray whom first." Song Yuan said this with a rather sarcastic tone.

The group understood; their relationship was merely superficial, a temporary reconciliation and cooperation based solely on the presence of the Guiyuan Sect, which attracted all their hatred.

But in reality, the relationship wasn't close, but it didn't matter, since they were the ones who attracted all the hatred.

However, if one day we can capture Long Tian and use that as a breakthrough, we can also extract more information about this mysterious person from him.

Nan Xingze sighed deeply. There were even more forces involved, which made things even more troublesome.

"Later, Long Tian wanted to use my Gu worm abilities to infiltrate the family forces in the city, and I took this opportunity to be promoted to management, in charge of Green Fragrance," Song Yuan concluded. "Do you have any other questions? Go ahead and ask."

“This time we’re not only here to investigate Green Fragrance’s business practices, but also to conduct a covert auction. Do you know anything about it?” Nan Xingze asked.

"The items that were the highlight of this secret auction were all obtained by that mysterious person. He said that as long as these items were auctioned off, the conflict between the demon race and the Guiyuan Sect would become irreconcilable."

They also mentioned the demon princes who came to the Mahayana ceremony; it seems they are still staying in Qingli City and haven't returned to the demon realm.

Nan Xingze was wondering how the other party had informed the demon race that a noblewoman of the demon race had been forcibly abducted by humans, because once the matter was discovered, it would definitely be suppressed and dealt with by the Guiyuan Sect immediately.

I didn't expect that I wouldn't even need to be informed; I could find out on the spot.

Those who witnessed the demon prince's personality knew how difficult he was to deal with. If he were to witness the auction of the demon clan's most precious and beautiful daughters, he would undoubtedly see it as a provocation against the demon clan. Given the demon clan's volatile temper, they would certainly not let the matter rest, especially since the Guiyuan Sect was not a place of propriety.

Just thinking about Nan Xingze gave everyone a headache. In an instant, everyone's faces turned serious. This plan was truly vicious!
