**Chapter: Auction House – Miss’s Thoughts (Part 1)**

The Temple Alliance, Holy City, Grand Auction House.

A girl of exquisite beauty sat quietly in the backyard of the Holy Alliance Grand Auction House. A white dress perfectly showcased her enchanting figure. Her eyebrows were like painted strokes, radiating gentleness, and an indescribable purity. Sitting there silently, she resembled an elf, as if all the beautiful scenery in the surrounding courtyard existed because of her.

A girl in a red dress quietly walked behind her and suddenly shouted, “What are you thinking about, Little White Flower?”

“Ah!” The girl in the white dress was startled, abruptly sitting upright. Turning her head and seeing the red-dressed girl, she immediately scolded, “Sister Weiyang, you’re always scaring people! I told you not to call me Little White Flower! That annoying guy, hmph.”

This girl was none other than Feng Ling’er, the young mistress of the Holy Alliance Grand Auction House. The one who had startled her was naturally the chief auctioneer of the Holy Alliance Grand Auction House, the alluring Ye Weiyang.

Ye Weiyang chuckled, “Yes, I shouldn’t call you Little White Flower. I should call you Little Pepper! You’re always so fierce to him. You’re not happy until you’ve scolded him away. Only that fool would come running every day. But, you’re satisfied now, aren’t you? He’s gone and won’t bother you anymore.”

Since Lin Xin introduced Sima Xian to Feng Ling’er, Sima Xian fully displayed the dedication of someone smitten at first sight. Every day, without affecting his cultivation, he would report to the Holy Alliance Grand Auction House. Ye Weiyang helped a lot, at least ensuring he could see Feng Ling’er each time. Then, as Ye Weiyang just said, he would be scolded away.

As for the “Little White Flower” nickname, of course, it was Lin Xin, that mischievous friend, who betrayed the bald-headed priest. It also became Ye Weiyang’s joke for teasing Feng Ling’er.

Of course, Lin Xin secretly helped Sima Xian a lot. At least, the idea that Sima Xian should bring some tasty treats for Feng Ling’er each time he came was his suggestion. This preference was naturally secretly told to them by Ye Weiyang.

On the night before he left, Sima Xian brought a pile of treats, big and small, for Feng Ling’er. Even now, Feng Ling’er still remembered the scene at that time.

That guy was really strong. He must have carried at least a hundred pounds of food, his whole body weighed down. When she scolded him, he would just smile foolishly, never arguing back. Then he would just stand there and let her scold him, until she was tired of scolding, and then he would leave.

…”Take a breather, have some water, it’s easy for your throat to hurt when you talk so loudly all the time.”

“Starting tomorrow, I won’t be able to come see you. I don’t know how long I’ll be gone this time. Take care of yourself. I know it’s unlikely that you’ll fall in love with me, but it’s okay. At least you let me experience the taste of love. You can think of me as having a crush or unrequited love, but at least you can’t stop me from liking you in my heart.”

“Thank you so much, I’ve had a lot of fun during this time. It turns out that looking forward to seeing someone every day can be so joyful. I’m satisfied just being able to hear your voice every day.”

“Actually, you’re right. I’m not worthy of you, and I’m also a Demon Hunter. Every time I carry out a mission, I face a life-threatening situation. How can a man like me bring you a sense of security? I understand all this, but I just can’t help liking you in my heart.”

“Don’t push me, let me finish speaking and I’ll leave. Perhaps, this farewell will be forever. I don’t know if I’ll be able to come back alive. My only wish is to say everything in my heart, leave without regret, and kill the enemy without distraction, okay?”

“Don’t throw away these snacks, okay? At least don’t waste them. Actually, Lin Xin told me that you like to eat snacks. Am I very stupid? Look, I’m sweating from telling you all this. I think I’ve said more today than I have in the past combined.”

“You, just treat me as a passerby in your life, forget me when I’m gone. I hope my entanglement during this time hasn’t caused you any trouble. I just hope you’re doing well.”

“Thank you for letting me say so much, I’m leaving. Although you’re very fierce to me, I know it’s all because of my shortcomings. In my heart, you’ll always be a pure and flawless Little White Flower.”

“Goodbye.”

“I… I love you…”

…Even though so many days had passed, Feng Ling’er could clearly remember the scene at that time. Sima Xian walked out of the courtyard gate, suddenly peeked his head back, shouted those three words, then turned and ran. That fleeing, but filled with a strong sense of satisfaction, was the first time Feng Ling’er felt a sense of palpitation in her heart.

“Hey, what are you thinking about? You’re spacing out. You wouldn’t really have fallen in love with that bald-headed priest, would you?” Ye Weiyang teased.

“Who likes him?” Feng Ling’er said irritably.

Ye Weiyang smiled playfully and said, “That’s right, he’s not worthy of our little princess! The people pursuing you could almost line up all the way from here to the city gate. He’s not gentle at all, and he doesn’t know how to please people. He just brings some treats every day, and it was still my idea. By the way, where are the dried fish that he sent before he left? If you don’t eat them, don’t waste them. Give them all to me, like before, hehe, it’s so good that I eat them for you.”

Feng Ling’er rolled her eyes at her, “Sister Weiyang, you’re too bad. You clearly want to eat all those things yourself, but you’re blaming it on me. Surely if you wanted to eat them, someone would buy them for you?”

Ye Weiyang suddenly sighed softly and said, “Are you very strange as to why I would help that bald-headed priest get close to you? But previously I helped you drive away those crazy bees and butterflies?”

Feng Ling’er nodded subconsciously.

Ye Weiyang said: “Because I am very interested in their leader, I would like to see him again, and have some exchanges with him. So, I tried to contact the people around him to understand him. He inherited his great-grandfather’s divine sword, and I would like to know what kind of person he is.”

“But whether it was Lin Xin or that bald priest, neither was willing to say more. They only said that their leader has always been in seclusion. I have not been successful. Ling’er, I have used you, do you blame me? However, Lin Xin and that Sima Xian are not bad people. It is also good to be ordinary friends.”

Feng Ling’er said: “If he is in seclusion, then can’t you go directly to him? Why did you have to drag me into this?” Her words implicitly carried a hint of anger, and a bit of embarrassment.

Ye Weiyang smiled bitterly: “Because my confidence has disappeared. I still clearly remember the scene that day, a man’s eyes could be so clear.”

“You wouldn’t have been moved by him, would you?” Feng Ling’er exclaimed.

Ye Weiyang nodded without concealment, “Yes, I was moved, but I am afraid that I don’t even have a single chance. Lin Xin told me that he already has a confidante, who is their vice-captain.”

Feng Ling’er said: “So what, they are not married yet. With my sister Weiyang’s thirty-six methods, wouldn’t he be easily won over?”

Ye Weiyang shook her head and said: “It’s impossible. I have a very strong feeling that this man will never be someone who can be manipulated by me. Moreover, my feelings for him are not fondness, what I said that I was moved is more of curiosity. Moreover, through this period of time in contact, you should also feel, whether it is Lin Xin or Sima Xian, they are extremely excellent existences. They are top elites among the younger generation of the Alliance. I don’t know Sima Xian very well, but I have known Lin Xin for a long time. His grandfather is the vice-principal of the Mage Temple, and he is the most outstanding young alchemist. He is now also a Demon Hunter. I secretly investigated his cultivation, and he has actually reached the sixth order.”

“But even so, I don’t know if you have noticed, every time I mentioned their leader Long Haochen in front of them, their expressions would immediately change, respect, yes, it’s respect. It hasn’t been long since they became Demon Hunters, that is to say, Long Haochen’s age should be about the same as theirs. But such a young man can actually make the two elite figures of the younger generation of the Alliance produce a sense of respect, it is conceivable how excellent Long Haochen himself is. Therefore, my curiosity about him is also getting stronger and stronger. To be honest, whenever I recall the look in his eyes when he raised the Divine Sword, I feel a sense of inferiority in my heart, as if I am not worthy of him at all.”

After saying so much in one breath, Feng Ling’er, as the listener, was already stunned. She knew best how arrogant Ye Weiyang was in her bones, but Ye Weiyang, who was so arrogant, would actually have a sense of inferiority to a man, how incredible is this!

“Sister Weiyang, do you think, will they be able to come back alive?” Feng Ling’er asked in a low voice.

Ye Weiyang shook her head gently, “I don’t know either.”

Feng Ling’er frowned slightly, “Didn’t you say they were very powerful? And that mysterious leader. That person does look a bit out of the ordinary.”

Ye Weiyang said: “Strong personal strength is a double-edged sword. It is because of their strength that the tasks they choose to take on are certainly not ordinary. Lin Xin is only in his early twenties. If the others are about the same age as him, then their entire team should not be even twenty-five years old, but I heard Lin Xin say that they are already a Commander-grade Demon Hunter group. This means that their overall strength is above the sixth order, and the tasks they are going to take on are also commander-grade.”

For some reason, after hearing Ye Weiyang’s words, Feng Ling’er suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and blurted out: “Sister Weiyang, don’t eat the things that guy gave me anymore. I’ll keep them for myself.”

“Ah?” Ye Weiyang looked at her with a strange look in her eyes.

Feng Ling’er pretended not to see, “I hope they can all come back alive.”

……The battlefield has already been cleaned up. After a short rest, both Demon Hunter groups have recovered some strength, especially the King-level Demon Hunter group, they really looked a bit embarrassed.

“Hello, I am the leader of the King-level Seventeenth Demon Hunter group, the Guardian Knight Tianqing, thank you for your help.” The Mithril Foundation Knight has already taken off his helmet, revealing a slightly vicissitude but very resolute face. He looks about thirty-five or six years old, with broad and powerful hands.
