Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 272: Hun Ruoruo doesn’t lie?
The next day, as the morning light gradually enveloped the entire imperial capital, the Miter Auction House, located in the most prosperous area of ​​the imperial capital, welcomed the troops from several major powers one after another.

The rows of medals of power caused many people who came nearby to feel terrified, as if they had a sense of déjà vu.

How did the relationship between the royal family, the Alchemist Guild, and the Yunlan Sect become so good?

The Mittel family was on extremely tight security today, even some of the auctions that had never been interrupted in the past had been suspended. Anyone who tried to spy under the guise of an auction would be instantly captured by the law enforcement team and taken in for questioning.

However, what no one had expected was that the atmosphere within the family was not solemn at all. Instead, hearty laughter could be heard from time to time, causing the guards outside the house to cast curious glances inside from time to time.

If outsiders were to see the current state of some of the empire's top figures, they would probably be shocked.

Several old guys were sitting in a circle at this moment, without any of their previous airs. The old man Jia from the royal family had a rosy complexion, and even the wrinkles on his face seemed to have been reduced a lot.

They chatted for a while until the familiar figure in a black dress appeared at the door of the hall. They immediately stopped making noise and chose to stand up to greet her. Their attitudes seemed to indicate that they were following her lead.

Glancing at a few complacent old men, Hun Ruoruo exchanged glances with the calmest Hai Bodong, then smiled faintly and said:
"I didn't expect that Elder Jia and President Fa Ma would be able to clean up the Yunlan Sect so quickly. Their methods are truly extraordinary."

Hearing this, Jia Xingtian chuckled and said, "For something as important as this, we naturally need to put aside everything we're doing to deal with it. Right now, the Yunlan Sect has completely become a force within the empire and can no longer cause any trouble."

As he spoke, Jia Xingtian looked at the other person's expression without leaving any trace. He always felt that this little girl who had always been weird and mysterious seemed to have finally taken on a bit of the youthful temperament that her peers should have.

"Oh?"

Hun Ruoruo cast an interested look. "Yun Yun has been out for so long, she should be back by now. With her in charge, how did Jia Lao convince the other party so easily?"

"Haha, Miss Ruoruo, you don't know that although Yun Yun is very stubborn, her disciple is very clear about the situation. Not only is he not opposed to completely merging into the empire, but he is quite eager. After a few exchanges, they easily reached an agreement without any bloodshed."

Jia Xingtian picked up a small corner of his beard and said in amazement, "This kind of character is different from the impression I have of the old man Nalan's unruly granddaughter."

After hearing the other party's story, Hun Ruoruo didn't show any surprise on her face, but just commented lightly:
"The Yunlan Sect's main gate has been destroyed. Even if Yun Yun sold all her wealth, it would be difficult to maintain the sect's long-term expenses. Wanting to be independent is pure wishful thinking. Young Sect Master Nalan's actions may seem servile, but they are clearly the best option."

"Indeed, although the Yunlan Sect has been severely damaged, its strength lies in its remaining strengths, and its disciples are all loyal to Yun Yun and the others. This makes it much easier for my royal family to deal with them."

Jia Xingtian smiled, then his eyes narrowed slightly as he whispered, "The most important thing is that those disciples knew nothing about the black shadow. They still have faith in their hearts, so there's no need to commit more murders."

When mentioning the 'black shadow', everyone, including Hai Bodong, looked solemn, with a hint of lingering fear in their expressions.

The Gama Empire has been infiltrated by evil figures at the Dou Zong level. It can be said that it is an absolute nightmare for everyone in the empire.

"Well, regarding the matter of the black shadow, please do not spread the news to anyone."

Hun Ruoruo spoke softly, but she inadvertently revealed a hint of warning, which made Fa Ma's heart tremble. He hurriedly said:

"Don't worry, Miss Ruoruo. We are well aware of this. Not only will the information about the black shadow be classified as top secret, but we have also issued a gag order regarding the battle with the Yunlan Sect. There will be no further disclosure."

As if feeling somewhat unconvincing, Fa Ma added, "The oath is useless. We have already pledged our lives and property as collateral. If we break this oath, even if any of the royal family, the Miter family, or our Alchemist Guild leaks the secret, we will be attacked by everyone!"

Although the girl in front of them looked weak, everyone knew in their hearts that her petite body contained terrifying power that was enough to kill the ghost of a Dou Zong, and they would never dare to overstep their bounds.

Fa Ma's words were quite smooth. He did not describe the horrifying record of Hun Ruoruo extracting Yunshan's soul. He simply stated the fact that the information was closed, as if he never remembered the specific events that happened.

This act of pretending to be ignorant while knowing the truth obviously satisfied Hun Ruoruo, and the previous vague aura also subsided.

"President Fa Mammoth is thoughtful."

Hun Ruoruo nodded slightly and responded with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Fa Ma and the other man looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, as if a huge rock had fallen to the ground, and they instantly felt a lot more at ease.

With the other party's words, the status of the three major forces will definitely skyrocket to an unprecedented level, and it is a foregone conclusion that it will even radiate to other surrounding countries.

Cultivation is always the only criterion for determining status.

Unlike Jia Xingtian and the other two who were feeling awkward, Hai Bodong obviously had no such concerns at all. The Mitel family didn't even need to spend any manpower or material resources, and they had already gained the greatest benefit without having to spend any extra effort at all.

"Miss Ruoruo, have you been taking care of Xiao Yan's injuries during this period?"

Seeing that the negotiations were almost over, Hai Bodong took a sip of tea and said with a casual smile:
"Yesterday I wanted to visit you, but it seems I was turned away."

"This"

Upon hearing this, Hun Ruoruo's pretty face froze, and she actually looked a little embarrassed, which was rare. She had never expected that the other party would ask a question at this time.

What should she do? Can she say that she fell asleep at Xiao Yan's place?

What a joke.
Although the treatment for her injuries at the time did make her mentally exhausted and sleepy, she would never let her guard down like this around others.

Not to mention falling asleep on the bed, there wouldn't even be the slightest bit of slackness. This should be something that is simply impossible.

After all, in her mind, except when she was with her mother, any slackness or relaxation would lead to the most deadly attack. Over time, her spirit had been stretched to the extreme.

If I really admit it, doesn't that mean I can really feel at ease around that guy?

"No, no."

For the first time ever, Hun Ruoruo lied.
