My Senior Brother Turned Black After I Died. Chapter 37
byChapter 37 Chapter 37 It’s over, there’s a pervert!
The sound was not loud, but it was like a thunderous explosion. It instantly plunged the entire auction house into deathly silence, and you could hear a needle drop.
The curtain of room Tianzi No. 4 was opened directly, and the person sitting inside was Shen Xuzhi.
He stood up at some point, leaning on his seat, playing with a jade ring in one hand, and casually holding the number plate in the other hand. He wore his signature smile that seemed gentle but was actually full of fun and provocation, and cast his eyes in the direction of Shen Lanchuan’s elegant room on the third floor with interest.
*
Fifteen million!
Directly jump from 12 million to 15 million!Increase the price by three million!
This is no longer a simple bidding, this is clearly a naked provocation and arrogance.
The whole place was in an uproar.All eyes instantly focused on Shen Xuzhi, full of shock.
Someone recognized his identity, but they were even more puzzled.Although Zichen Valley is rich, fifteen million high-grade spiritual stones are by no means a small amount. How can Shen Xuzhi, a bastard who is not the heir to the valley owner, have such great authority and financial resources?What on earth does he want to do?
*
Shen Xuzhi didn’t care how much money he would spend. Anyway, the final money would come from Zichen Valley. Even if he spent all Zichen Valley’s money, Shen Fu wouldn’t say a word.
But does Shen Lanchuan dare to compete with him?After all, the current leader of Taixuan Dao Sect is Xin Xuezhen, not Shen Lanchuan.Does he dare to bet the entire Taixuan Dao Sect on himself?
*
Ji Hantong panicked. He grabbed Shen Lanchuan’s arm tightly and said angrily, “Brother, who is that person? Did he do it on purpose?!”
“He is my nominal concubine.” Shen Lanchuan finally slowly put down the tea cup in his hand.
He raised his eyes and his eyes fell precisely on Shen Xuzhi’s smiling face.
Shen Lanchuan did not increase the price immediately, but looked at Shen Xuzhi quietly.
The atmosphere in the entire auction house became extremely depressed and tense because of Shen Lanchuan’s moment of silence.Everyone held their breath, waiting for Immortal Mingshu’s response.
Unexpectedly, an auction that was originally just a competition for wealth suddenly turned into a confrontation between two major forces, not to mention the natural identity gap between Shen Lanchuan and Shen Xuzhi.
Shen Lanchuan’s eyes were accurately fixed on Shen Xuzhi’s face across a long distance from the noisy crowd.
The smile on Shen Xuzhi’s face remained the same, even brighter, as if he was enjoying the feeling of being noticed by the whole audience, especially being “taken seriously” by Shen Lanchuan.He even tilted his head slightly and made a “please” gesture with a relaxed posture, as if silently urging Shen Lanchuan to continue to increase the price.
However, Shen Lanchuan did not immediately report a higher number as everyone expected.He stood up slowly and opened the curtain in the elegant room halfway, revealing only his own figure.
The light outside the window fell on Shen Lanchuan’s dark robe, outlining his tall and stern silhouette.
He spoke calmly, and his voice clearly sounded in everyone’s ears through spiritual power:
“Sixteen million.”
Shen Lanchuan increased the price, but only by one million, which was far less arrogant than Shen Xuzhi’s before.
But no one dared to underestimate this number, and no one dared to ignore his next words.
Just when the corners of Shen Xuzhi’s mouth deepened and his fingers moved slightly, as if he was preparing to raise the sign again to push the bidding to a higher climax——
Shen Lanchuan’s voice sounded again. This time, it was no longer just a quotation, but a vast abyss of spiritual pressure, like an invisible mountain, accurately pressing on the Tianzi No. 4 elegant room.
“Shen Xuzhi,” Shen Lanchuan’s tone was so calm that it was almost cold.
“You can keep bidding.”
He tilted his head slightly, his gaze seemed to penetrate the wall and look directly into Shen Xuzhi’s eyes.
“But you have to think clearly.”
“In Liuyun City, Duobao Pavilion protects you by its rules. I can’t touch you.”
“But once you leave Liuyun City and step out of the gate of Duobao Pavilion——”
Shen Lanchuan paused, every word was like an ice pick digging into people’s hearts.
“Guess, do I have the ability to make you disappear completely together with everything you photographed?”
“If I kill you, Yuxinlan will still be mine.”
“Zi Chen Gu can also come to me to ask for an explanation. I will not refuse anyone who comes.”
He spoke the last four words very slowly and clearly. It was obvious that Shen Lanchuan’s voice was so magnetic and pleasant, but these words made people’s hair stand on end.
This is a naked threat, a threat from Mingshu Immortal Lord Shen Lanchuan!
No one doubted his words.With Shen Lanchuan’s cultivation, status, and his reputation of being decisive and decisive in killing, if he really wanted to kill Shen Xuzhi, there would probably be few people in the world of cultivation who could stop him, and no force would be willing to form a deadly feud with the God of Death for Shen Xuzhi.
Zichen Valley may be furious, but behind Shen Lanchuan stands the Taixuan Dao Sect, and he himself is one of the top combat powers in the world of cultivation. Even if they are really angry, what can they do to Shen Lanchuan?
The smile on Shen Xuzhi’s face finally froze completely.
On the auction stage, the beautiful auctioneer had already turned pale with fright, her pretty face was pale, and her hand holding the auction hammer was shaking violently.
She has been in the industry for many years, but has she ever seen such a battle?This is not an auction, it is clearly a life and death duel.The auctioneer looked towards the dark place where the senior officials of Duobao Pavilion were for help, but only received a silent signal – wait and see what happens, don’t interfere.
There was still silence in the venue, except for the sounds of heavy and uneven breathing.Everyone was shocked by this sudden violent crushing bidding method.
Shen Lanchuan withdrew his gaze, and the terrifying aura around him receded like a tide, returning to his usual calm and restrained tone.As if he had just done an insignificant thing, he sat back in the chair and even had the leisure to pick up the slightly cold tea and take a sip.
Then, he raised his eyes and looked at the auctioneer who was still standing blankly. His voice returned to its previous calmness:
“Sixteen million times, you can continue.”
The auctioneer seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and he forced himself to calm down, but his voice still had an obvious tremor: “One to sixteen million once, the distinguished guests of Tianzi No. 3 elegant room bid sixteen million, is there anything higher?”
Her gaze swept across the entire place, especially in the direction of the elegant room at Tianzi No. 4.There was dead silence, the curtains were lowered, and there was no sound.
She waited for a moment to confirm that no one dared to answer, then she took a deep breath, used all her strength, and raised the auction hammer high:
“Sixteen million times!”
“Sixteen million times twice!”
The hammer echoed in the silence.
“Sixteen million…three times!”
“Deal!!!”
The auction hammer fell heavily, making a dull but loud sound that resounded throughout the entire venue.
“Congratulations to the guests of Tianzi No. 3 Elegant Room for successfully bidding on the Millennium Jade Heart Orchid!” The auctioneer’s voice sounded as if he was recovering from a disaster.
*
The dust has settled.
No one in the audience dared to make a loud noise, only the low and muffled buzz of discussion.Countless complicated eyes were cast on the elegant room on the third floor.
Shen Lanchuan’s expression was calm, as if the threat just now was just casual chat.He took Ji Hantong’s hand and stood up to complete the final handover procedures.
At this moment, a middle-aged monk who looked like a senior manager of Duobao Pavilion and two calm guards quickly walked up to Shen Lanchuan and saluted respectfully: “Mingshu Immortal, congratulations on the jade heart orchid. This thing is priceless, please press meAccording to Duobao Pavilion’s rules, the buyer must personally accompany the handover process of the highest-level treasures to the inner warehouse, check the items, complete the final handover, and impose a seal that is unique to you.This is to ensure that the treasures are safe, and I hope the Immortal Lord will understand.”
His tone was respectful and his words were thoughtful, but his meaning was very clear – Jade Heart Orchid was too precious and could not be sent directly to the private room or the front desk like ordinary auction items. Shen Lanchuan needed to personally visit their treasure house.
Shen Lanchuan frowned.He is not worried about Duobao Pavilion playing tricks on the handover. With Duobao Pavilion’s reputation and fear of his identity, the possibility is extremely low.But he was worried about leaving Ji Hantong here alone, even for a moment.
Although the auction is over, there is a mixed crowd in the venue. He has just formed a relationship with Shen Xuzhi. There is no guarantee that no one will take advantage of his departure to harm Hantong.
“Ask him to come with me.” Shen Lanchuan said calmly, taking Ji Hantong with him.
The steward looked troubled and bowed again: “Immortal Lord, forgive me. The inner treasury is an important place and there are many restrictions on formations. According to the rules, we can only take you there alone. This is for the safety of the treasure house. Please be accommodating to the Immortal Lord. The handover process will be very quick and will never take more than one stick of incense. During this period, the young master can stay in the private room to rest. Our pavilion will send the most capable guards to guard it to ensure that nothing goes wrong.”
What he said was reasonable and reasonable. The rules of Duobao Pavilion have always been like this. Especially when it comes to treating the grand finale treasures photographed by distinguished guests, the process is strict to the point of being harsh. This is also one of the guarantees of its credibility.
Although Ji Hantong didn’t quite understand the rules, he could feel his senior brother’s hesitation and the other party’s persistence.Although he was a little afraid of being alone, he didn’t want to delay his senior brother from getting the jade heart orchid that he had finally photographed.He tugged on Shen Lanchuan’s sleeve and whispered, “Senior brother, go ahead. I’ll wait for you here. I won’t run around.”
Shen Lanchuan was still a little worried.
At this delicate moment of stalemate, a clear voice came from the side:
“Mingshu Immortal Lord.”
Shen Lanchuan turned around and saw everyone from Qingyun Mountain, headed by Lou Yu, walking over at some point and stopping a few steps away.Lou Yuxing’s face has returned to calmness, but there is still a hint of sadness in his eyes that he failed to win Yu Xinlan, but his respectful expression remains the same.All the disciples behind him also saluted.
Lou Yuxing took a step forward, glanced at the troubled-looking steward of Duobao Pavilion, and then looked at Shen Lanchuan and Ji Hantong who were clinging tightly to him, seeming to understand the situation in front of him.He pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: “If the Immortal Lord can trust this junior, I and my junior brothers and sisters can accompany this young master here while you go to the inner treasury, and never leave even half a step to ensure his safety.”
Junior Sister B behind him also nodded quickly and said warmly: “Yes, Mingshu Immortal Lord, just go and go. We will definitely take good care of him.” The other disciples of Qingyun Mountain also expressed their opinions.
Ji Hantong also said quickly: “Senior brother, didn’t you say that Song Mianbai is a pure and good person? That disciple who wants to be taught by a good person is also a good person like him, so don’t worry.”
Shen Lanchuan’s eyes stayed on Lou Yuxing and others for a moment.Qingyun Mountain has a clean and upright family tradition, so Song Mianbai’s disciple should have no problem with his character.The most important thing is that compared to being looked after by the ignorant guards of Duobao Pavilion, the disciples of Qingyun Mountain obviously make him feel more at ease.
He pondered for a moment, looked at Ji Hantong, and said warmly: “Just wait here with them for a while, senior brother, and come back as soon as he leaves, okay?”
Ji Hantong nodded obediently: “Yes, I will listen to my senior brother.”
Shen Lanchuan gave Ji Hantong a few more careful instructions and arranged many protective magical weapons for him before leaving with the steward of Duobao Pavilion.His figure disappeared in the special passage leading to the inner treasury, and only Ji Hantong and the Qingyun Mountain disciples were left in the elegant room.
Lou Yuxing motioned to his junior brothers and sisters to spread out a little, forming a loose protective circle. He himself stood not far in front of Ji Hantong, maintaining an appropriate distance and making it easier to take care of them.
Ji Hantong stood there and looked at the direction Shen Lanchuan was leaving until the back was completely invisible, then he closed the door and looked back with some disappointment.He turned around and faced a group of unfamiliar Qingyun Mountain disciples. He was still a little cautious, and his fingers were unconsciously picking at the corners of his clothes.
Lou Yuxing tried his best to sound gentle and harmless, trying to ease his nervousness: “Little friend, don’t be restrained, we will wait here for the return of Immortal Mingshu.”
“Well, wait until senior brother comes back.”
“Little friend,” Lou Yuxing asked casually, “I just heard you call Immortal Mingshu directly as ‘Senior Brother’, which is quite close. However, as far as I know, Master Daoxuan seems to have only accepted Immortal Mingshu and Immortal Yuheng as two direct disciples. Even the current Sect Leader Xin also addresses Immortal Mingshu as ‘Senior Brother Mingshu’.”
Ji Hantong was stunned by his question.How does he know how many brothers the original owner has?After he woke up, the only person he relied on closely was Shen Lanchuan. Shen Lanchuan asked him to call him senior brother, so he did.Although he had heard Xin Xuezhen call him Senior Brother Shen Lanchuan Mingshu, he never expected this.
The little guy blinked his big eyes, with a confused look on his face, and said hesitantly: “I…I don’t know, senior brother is senior brother.” He answered vaguely, because he really didn’t know how to explain it.
Lou Yuxing looked at his confused and confused look, and then thought of the extraordinary care Mingshu gave to his son, and the Jade Heart Orchid he wanted to take away with such drastic means… A terrifying and clear suspicion suddenly came to his mind, making his whole body freeze instantly.
Jade Heart Orchid…restores the origin, nourishes the soul, and has miraculous effects on the damage to the origin.
Immortal Lord Mingshu was so eager and did not hesitate to pay the price, and the child called him senior brother.
That can only mean one thing – the child in front of him who looks to be only four or five years old is the famous and stunningly talented Yuheng Immortal Lord Ji Hantong himself.
It was because of some reason that his origin was injured and his body degenerated, turning him into the child he is now.
That’s why Mingshu Xianzun was so frantically looking for Yu Xinlan, that’s why he regarded this child as his life, and that’s why he desperately threatened Shen Xuzhi…
This conjecture was like a stormy sea that instantly broke all Lou Yuxing’s composure.His face suddenly turned as pale as a sheet of paper, bloodless, and his body swayed, only to be stabilized by the support of a junior brother behind him.
Lou Yuxing stared at Ji Hantong’s childish and confused face, his eyes full of defeat.
“What’s wrong with you?” Ji Hantong was a little confused. He didn’t know why his words had such a big impact on Lou Yuxing.
“Hahaha…” Lou Yuxing laughed maniacally, “You are Yuheng Immortal… Hahahaha…”
The voice was shrill, and every word was filled with tears.
Ji Hantong retreated, wondering why he suddenly started going crazy.Not to mention him, even the other disciples of Qingyun Mountain don’t understand.
Junior Sister B stepped forward and patted Lou Yuxing on the shoulder. Lou Yuxing pushed her away and sat against the wall dejectedly.
No one knew the pain in his heart.The junior brothers and sisters all thought that the senior brother’s injury was just a little serious, but only Lou Yuxing knew that Song Mianbai was at the end of his life, and his injury could only be cured by the heaven-level spirit-recovering pill. However, only Ji Hantong, the immortal master of Yuheng, had the strength to refine the heaven-level spirit-reviving pill.
Originally, even if he didn’t get Yu Xin Lan, Yu Xing still held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that he would use other heavenly materials and earthly treasures to hang up his master’s life, so that one day he could find Yu Xin Lan again.
This was one of the reasons why he shamelessly approached me just now, thinking that by trying to win Immortal Mingshu’s favor, he would be more likely to succeed when he asked Immortal Yuheng to do something.
But now reality has clearly slapped Lou Yuxing in the face. Yuheng Xianzun himself is in jail, so what if Yu Xinlan is found?He could no longer refine the heaven-level spirit-restoring elixir, and Song Mianbai was still in a dead end.
Ji Hantong was so frightened by Lou Yuxing’s sudden maniacal laughter and stern words that his face turned pale and he backed away repeatedly.Until his back pressed against the closed carved wooden door of the elegant room, the cold touch made him shiver, and a strong uneasiness surged in his heart.
This man is so scary. He doesn’t want to stay here anymore. He wants to find his senior brother!
Almost out of instinct, Ji Hantong turned around suddenly and used all his strength to pull the heavy door –
“Squeak——”
The door opened unexpectedly smoothly.
However, the scene outside the door made Ji Hantong freeze on the spot for an instant, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to Tianling Gai.
There is no familiar corridor of Duobao Pavilion with gorgeous carpets, no waiters coming and going and monks who have not yet dispersed, and there is no passage where the senior brother left.
Outside the door was a huge, dark and empty space that was completely unfamiliar to him.
This is not Duobao Pavilion at all, and it doesn’t even look like any building in Liuyun City!
Ji Hantong froze at the door, his little body trembling slightly with fear.The people in Qingyun Mountain behind him also noticed something was wrong. Lou Yuxing woke up from his depression in an instant, stood up suddenly and rushed to the door with a sprint, protecting Ji Hantong behind him, and glanced sharply at the door.
“This…where is this?!” Junior Sister B exclaimed, her voice causing a faint echo in the empty space.Other Qingyun Mountain disciples also quickly gathered around, all with solemn expressions, pressing their hands on the hilts of their swords, entering the highest alert state.
They had obviously been staying in the elegant room No. 3 of Tianzi in Duobao Pavilion, with the doors and windows closed, and they had not left even an inch. Why did the whole world change when they opened the door?
Lou Yuxing suppressed the turmoil in his heart and quickly scanned his surroundings.Soon, he discovered an even more shocking fact – the entire elegant room where everyone was sitting had been silently cut out from the interior of Duobao Pavilion at some point, and the entire room was moved to this strange place.
What an incredible method is this?Being able to accomplish this kind of thing in Duobao Pavilion, which is heavily guarded and full of formations, without monks like them being aware of it, even the top powerhouses who are proficient in space formations will never be able to do this without being aware of the ghosts.
Unless…the other party has already laid out a plan, and the area where this elegant room is located has already been manipulated!
Cold sweat instantly soaked Lou Yuxing’s back, and a worst guess came to mind.
“Be careful!” Lou Yuxing shouted sharply, his voice a bit sharp in the empty space.
He pulled Ji Hantong closer behind him, his spiritual energy rising all over his body, and he was ready for a fight to the death.Other Qingyun Mountain disciples also displayed their magic weapons and formed a simple defensive formation to protect Ji Hantong at the center.
Ji Hantong clutched Lou Yuxing’s clothes tightly, his face was pale and his big eyes were full of fear, but he bit his lower lip and did not dare to cry.He knew it was useless to be afraid now. His senior brother was not here, and he had to try not to hold him back.
At this extremely tense moment, a sound of brisk and even joyful footsteps came from the shadows ahead.
Da, da, da…
The footsteps were neither fast nor slow, and were particularly clear in the quiet and empty space. Each step seemed to step on the apex of one’s heart.
The cold green light swayed, and a slender figure slowly walked out of the darkness.
The visitor was wearing a luxurious purple brocade robe, with a familiar seemingly gentle and harmless smile on his face. He was still playing with the jade ring in his hand, and his posture was as leisurely as if he was just walking in his own back garden.
It was Shen Xuzhi.
He walked to a place about a few steps away from the door of the elegant room and stopped. His eyes swept over the people in Qingyun Mountain with great interest, and finally fell on Ji Hantong, who was protected in the middle and his face was pale.
“Oh, it seems that I have scared my little guest.” Shen Xuzhi’s smile did not change, and he even winked at Ji Hantong, his tone was brisk as if he was saying hello, “Don’t be afraid, I just asked you to talk somewhere else. There are so many people in Duobao Pavilion, and there is a clingy big brother, it’s really inconvenient.”
Shen Xuzhi’s nonchalant and even joking look made Ji Hantong feel a chill spreading from the depths of his heart that was even worse than before, spreading throughout his limbs and bones in an instant.
This man… was clearly smiling, but his eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake, which made him instinctively feel extremely dangerous and disgusted.
Lou Yuxing completely blocked Ji Hantong behind him, staring at Shen Xuzhi with a cold voice: “Shen Xuzhi, what do you want to do! Where is this place? What do you want to do by bringing us here? Do you know the consequences of attacking someone who is valued by the Qingyun Mountain disciples and Mingshu Immortal Lord!”
“Consequences?” Shen Xuzhi laughed softly as if he heard some funny joke, rubbing the jade ring with his fingers, “Why is Xiaoyou Lou so nervous?”
His eyes glanced at Ji Hantong again, and his smile deepened, “I just want to have a few words with this little friend alone. As for everyone in Qingyun Mountain, if you leave now, I can pretend that nothing happened.”
