The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1266 Are you sure you brought enough money this time?
When Yunran was wandering around Yuehua City, she saw those people treating this sword like a priceless treasure.

At that time, she felt a pang of regret. A perfectly good sword with a spirit, though it had become a symbol of power, had no place to be used.

"Are you interested in this sword?"

Seeing Yun Ran's expression, Chi Yao knew what she was thinking and finally couldn't help but speak up.

Yun Ran leaned back lazily in her chair and glanced at Chi Yao. It was awful to feel like she could be seen through so easily!
"I think that sometimes turning a blind eye is a virtue. What do you think?"

Chi Yao: ...

Forget it, I'd better not say anything. The more I say, the more mistakes I'll make.

Yunran was indeed interested in that sword, but that interest wasn't enough for her to withstand the pressure and change what had already happened.

Downstairs, there were clearly many knowledgeable people who were bidding fiercely.

"Fifty thousand taels!"

"Sixty thousand taels!"

"One hundred thousand taels!"

……

Finally, the sword was snatched away by a man wearing a cap; no one knew what the man looked like or who he was.

However, this did not include Yun Ran. She knew that the person was definitely related to the first city lord of Yuehua City.

With the auction already more than halfway through, there was still no movement from the small building where Yunran was.

Many people downstairs didn't pay much attention at first, after all, while the treasures at the beginning were very valuable, they weren't rare.

It's quite normal that the important person in the small building was dissatisfied.

But the things that were photographed later were all of the highest quality, especially many of them that possessed spiritual power, the kind of treasures that are becoming increasingly rare.

Now, with the auction almost over, Xiaolou remains completely silent.

"What do you think that important person is thinking? None of these things are worthy of her attention?"

"If I knew what the important person was thinking, would I be sitting here like you?"

"Are you all stupid? If there really wasn't anything that important person wanted here, why would she come here? She's not just bored."

……

As if to confirm these people's words, when the new treasure was brought up, the lanterns under the eaves of the small building, which had been silent all along, suddenly lit up.

Silence, a deathly silence. The entire auction seemed to have been paused as the lantern lit up.

The lantern's light wasn't dazzling, but it still drew the attention of many people.

Originally, only a few people were quietly discussing the situation at Xiaolou's place, but now, most people's attention has shifted to Xiaolou's side.

After the silence, there is the noise of a drop of water falling into a pot of oil.

"Lighting a sky lantern! The person upstairs has lit a sky lantern!!!"

"Lighting sky lanterns here, the financial resources involved must be terrifying!"

"Isn't that obvious? That's someone who can receive an invitation from a supreme being. They can't be just an ordinary person."

……

Anyone who can appear here is someone with a simple background.

For them, lighting sky lanterns at auctions is nothing special.

But lighting a sky lantern at the Divine Sword Manor auction is completely different. That guy upstairs really doesn't hold back until he makes a move, and when he does, it's a big one.

What intrigued them even more was what was being served, as the cloth covering it hadn't been lifted yet.

Before anyone could react, the sky lantern was lit. It seems this thing must be a treasure.

The person responsible for striking the hammer didn't look much different on the surface, but the joy in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Even though it's rare to meet someone with such an invitation, he was fortunate enough to witness this esteemed person lighting the sky lantern. This is something he can talk about with his descendants in the future.

"Hurry up, let's see what this new treasure is!"

"Yes, yes."

Chi Yao, upstairs, looked at the even more chaotic noise downstairs and said leisurely, "Are you sure you brought enough money this time?"

Yunran: ...

She's starting to wonder if Chi Yao and she are incompatible according to their birth charts. Otherwise, why does this guy always say things that are so irritating?

Yun Ran immediately retorted irritably, "You don't actually think I'd dare to light a sky lantern while being penniless, do you? I can't afford to lose face like that!"

"That's good. I just wanted to let you know in advance so I wouldn't get tricked by you again."

The implication behind Chi Yao's words was clearly that he had been tricked by Yun Ran before; otherwise, he wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

When people questioned whether she was a fraud, Yunran immediately refused to accept it.

Although she does often trick others, it's mostly in informal settings.

In formal settings, Yun Ran is very concerned about her reputation. How could the young master of Qingfeng Temple be so shameless!
But words are powerless. Yunran immediately reached into her bag and took out some things that were extremely valuable for this period of time.

Chi Yao looked at the box placed in front of him, and Yun Ran, without any suspense, directly lifted the lid.

It was filled with deep-sea pearls the size of longan fruits; these were the 'protection fees' that Long Ling had paid her back then.

A box full of pearls, the number of which is impossible to count.

In the absence of artificial pearl cultivation, these perfectly crafted deep-sea pearls can only be described as priceless treasures.

Chi Yao hadn't even had time to marvel at the immense value of the box full of pearls.

Yunran took out another box, inside which were a pair of flawless, uniquely shaped glass cups.

This isn't one of those cheap, mass-produced glass cups that cost two yuan each; it was taken from Xie Xuzhi's warehouse.

I heard it's specially made and quite valuable.

Yunran originally thought the cup was pretty, and since she has a penchant for collecting different cups, she just grabbed it without thinking.

Now it's come in very handy; this glass is worth quite a bit of money right now.

Chi Yao watched Yun Ran keep taking things out, and a resentful glint appeared in his eyes.

"I never imagined you had so many good things hidden away. How could you have the nerve to exploit me back then?"

Yunran felt it was utterly unreasonable to recount the sins of the 'her' past to a version of herself that she had absolutely no memory of.

He immediately stopped taking things out and stared intently at Chi Yao.

"No matter what the 'me' you remember is like, what you are facing now is a 'me' who has no past memories."

No matter what you say, I will absolutely not admit to these fabricated charges.

Unless you can tell me everything that happened in the past, you should give up on reminiscing about the past!
