After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 36 Mo Yu is Delicate
Seeing that everyone's attention was still on the rabbit, the male cultivator deliberately spilled some of the hot tea onto his hands. "Ouch~" he exclaimed, sounding quite delicate.

Only then did she shift her gaze from the rabbit to the male cultivator, her eyes filled with scrutiny and examination.

Upon seeing this, the male cultivator instantly looked pitiful and hurriedly said, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, it was my fault for disturbing our distinguished guest."

His open shirt hung freely, its waves rising and falling with his voice, revealing large swathes of skin without any cover. His muscular abs were faintly visible as the thin shirt rippled, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally stirring the hearts of those around him.

He was a male cultivator, yet he possessed an indescribable allure.

Lin Yan was focused solely on becoming stronger, oblivious to the other person's flirtatious advances. Her voice remained icy: "It's alright, I don't need anyone to serve me here. You can leave."

The male cultivator looked constipated, gave an awkward reply, and got up to leave with small, hurried steps.

"and many more."

Upon hearing this, he turned around with delight and asked softly, "Is there anything else you need, esteemed guest?"

"Could you ask me when my spirit stones will be ready?"

"..." The male cultivator's lips trembled, he hesitated, his emotions complex. Finally, he nodded and left.

Not long after, the male cultivator entered with the manager of the chamber of commerce, standing aside looking like he had been bullied.

The steward, with a respectful demeanor, placed the storage bag on the table with both hands. "I'm truly sorry, we've been busy with matters concerning Lishan lately, and many staff members have been pulled away. We're short-handed in counting the spirit stones, and we've kept you waiting, Fairy."

"It's alright." Lin Yan picked up the storage bag, poured herself a cup of tea, and slowly drank it.

The steward quickly said, "In that case, I won't disturb you any longer, Fairy. By the way, if you wish to purchase magic treasures, talismans, or pills, you can have Yue Nu guide you. He is also a pitiful man, and if you are happy, it would be a blessing for him to be rewarded with a few low-grade spirit stones."

After speaking, the steward withdrew, walking as if he were on a whirlwind.

Lin Yan turned her gaze to the male cultivator. He was tall and slender, but appeared thin. His work robe from the Chamber of Commerce looked loose on him, with the collar slightly open, revealing a hint of cleavage with every movement.

His eyebrows were slender and slightly raised, and his eyes were shimmering with tenderness, looking at everyone with gentle affection, yet revealing a timid demeanor. This contrast gave him an indescribable charm.

His nose was high and straight, his lips thin, rosy and moist, as if waiting to be kissed. With such good looks, no matter where he was, people couldn't help but take a second look.

"What's your name?" Her tone was devoid of any warmth.

“Immortal, my name is A-Yu.”

"Oh," she replied casually, as if it were just a polite inquiry, not caring which character the other person used for "yu." "I just need to buy some robes and talismans. Can you lead the way?"

Mo Yu lowered his head and bowed slightly, saying softly, "Yes, Immortal, please follow me."

She picked up the rabbit and followed him into the Chamber of Commerce's Treasure Pavilion.

This is a very grand and magnificent building, with gold patterns inlaid on the vermilion gate, making it look exceptionally grand and noble.

The hall is decorated with jade artifacts, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and the floor is paved with jade. The first floor is where religious items are sold; various religious artifacts can be seen upon entering.

Lin Yan glanced around and was drawn to a sword. The blade gleamed with a cold light, sending chills down one's spine at its mere sight. Since leaving the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, she had found it inconvenient to use her spirit sword, so buying a suitable one for temporary use was a good idea. "Has the immortal taken a fancy to this sword?" Mo Yu asked at the opportune moment. His tone was cautious, revealing a humble and submissive air.

"It's barely usable," she said casually. Having gotten used to a Heaven-grade spirit sword, using any other sword would be a struggle.

She glanced at the label next to the sword: Fifth-grade magic weapon, Frostwind Sword, forged from forging stone, cold stone, spirit stone, and the spikes from the back of a saber-toothed tiger beast. It has a five-year free repair period and is priced at 6,600 high-grade spirit stones.

A fifth-tier saber-toothed tiger has six sharp spikes on its back, each of which could be forged into a sword. Yet, the total price of a fifth-tier saber-toothed tiger's corpse is less than ten thousand high-grade spirit stones!

No wonder the Chamber of Commerce is so wealthy; that's how they get rich.

She picked up the sword and swung it lightly, immediately feeling the chilling wind it sent through her. It was passable, but the accompanying scabbard was far too flashy.

She decided to choose this one; once she was outside, she would simply remove all the gems from the scabbard.

"Immortal, let me hold this for you first."

Upon hearing this, she sheathed her sword and placed it in his hand.

Lin Yan then went to the area selling robes, boots, and veils to choose from. Mo Yu quickly followed and introduced, "Your immortal aura is outstanding, and the blue robe matches you perfectly. Why don't you choose this light blue dress?"

She glanced at it; the dress was indeed beautiful, but not very suitable for combat. She could wear something less attractive, something that would allow for easier movement.

"Senior brother, you said you'd buy me a new dress."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Yan glanced over and saw Tao Zhizhi walking in with Gu Zhu's arm around her. She immediately felt annoyed and wanted to go upstairs.

Before she could even make a move, the person had already darted over, pointing to the light blue dress and saying, "Third Senior Brother, this dress is so beautiful, I'll choose this one!"

Gu Zhu, feeling both helpless and indulgent, said before even getting close, "Alright, then pick out a dress and obediently follow your senior brother back to the flying boat."

The two of them should not have disembarked today after returning to the airship yesterday, but should have stayed on the ship to wait for the docking time to end. However, Tao Zhizhi said she forgot to buy her ceremonial robes, so she begged Gu Zhu to come down with her.

Gu Zhu immediately boasted that he would pay for the dress his junior sister had her eye on.

So the two of them went to the merchant guild closest to the airship's docking point to buy things, which happened to be the same merchant guild where Lin Yan worked.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a little tense, Mo Yu carefully interrupted, "This fairy, the dress was chosen by this immortal first."

Tao Zhizhi smiled innocently and brightly, saying, "But she didn't say she would buy it. This dress looks best on petite fairies. I don't think it's suitable for this lady."

Tao Zhizhi knew, of course, that the other person had chosen the dress first, but this person had made her lose face in front of everyone yesterday, and since she had run into him, she naturally wanted to regain her dignity. Besides, this person was only wearing a first-grade magic robe, a grayish-green color, and the material looked cheap; how could he possibly have spirit stones to buy this dress?

Lin Yan glanced at her sideways and said coldly, "Fellow Daoist, watch your words. I don't have a younger sister, so don't try to claim any connection." After saying that, she went upstairs to look at the spiritual plants.

Tao Zhizhi pouted, but quickly adjusted her expression and smiled at her third senior brother. After buying the dress, on the way back to the flying boat, she said as if she had just remembered, "Oh dear, that lady holding the rabbit was so fierce. But she looks so familiar, I feel like I've seen her somewhere before."
