"I'm not weird! I mean no harm, I just want to chat with you."

Qin Yangjun coughed twice to ease the awkwardness and then changed the subject.

So he put down the painting he was holding and then asked:

"So, why did you get into a conflict with the Qiu family?"

The masked girl made no attempt to hide anything and extended her hand; the clay figurine she had been holding earlier was now in his grasp.

Qin Yangjun observed it carefully and then revealed a look of sudden realization.

"So that's how it is. A puppet at the Nascent Soul stage. These patterns are probably from ancient times."

The masked girl nodded gently, then responded quietly.

"I saw it first, then she saw it and tried to snatch it."

Qin Yangjun had noticed this when he was watching the battle earlier.

The person in front of me didn't want to make a move at all; it was the Qiu family who were constantly pressuring me.

Therefore, Qin Yangjun guessed that the woman in the red dress was talking nonsense about going back to get spirit stones.

If the Di and Qiu families are in such a state, then the Geng family is probably in a similar situation.

They'll definitely steal this time, so...

Qin Yangjun was pondering what to do after the auction ended.

The masked girl in front of him suddenly spoke, interrupting his thoughts.

What do you think of this painting?

The girl produced another painting from somewhere.

Qin Yangjun was unsure of the intention, but after careful observation, he shared his thoughts.

Then a few more paintings were brought out.

Qin Yangjun offered his opinions one by one.

The girl's heart grew increasingly excited.

After all these years, she has finally met someone who understands her!

The Thirty-Third Saintess Doesn't Understand Love

Because the girl in front of him was wearing a mask, the only thing that could be seen was her pair of cold, clear eyes.

Therefore, Qin Yangjun had no idea what the person in front of him was feeling when recommending the painting to him.

However, during this time, the immortal power within her body dissipated and filled the entire room.

During this period, the Golden Crow Banner has been reacting, but that's all it has been doing.

Qin Yangjun knew that the amount of immortal power that had dissipated was not enough to awaken the Golden Crow Banner.

So he still had to go to the auction to get that Heavenly Spirit Stone.

Not long after, Qin Yangjun glanced at the sky.

It was already dusk.

The auction was about to begin, and Qin Yangjun knew he didn't have time to "exchange art" with the person in front of him anymore.

So he said goodbye to the girl.

The masked girl didn't stop him; she simply nodded.

After Qin Yangjun left.

A hint of melancholy flickered in the masked girl's eyes.

Then she seemed to remember something.

He suddenly raised his head.

Oh right, I still don't know his name!

The masked girl was just about to turn around and chase after Qin Yangjun.

A burst of golden light erupted.

A woman wearing a long gold dress and a veil appeared in front of her.

Behind her were four people dressed similarly, who stood aside after they appeared.

As soon as she appeared, the woman eagerly stepped forward and asked:

"Holy Maiden! What exactly happened? Why are you wanted?!"

The masked girl remained silent for a moment.

What happened was then explained in a brief statement.

After hearing what had happened, the woman frowned slightly.

"I never expected something like this to happen. How exactly does the Yuqian Sect manage its subordinate cities..."

What about your business?

Hearing the masked girl's words, the woman sighed.

"We didn't see Lin Yuzhou. According to the servants in the city lord's mansion, their city lord went on a long trip a few months ago. After returning, he locked himself in a secret room and hasn't come out since."

"He must have run into some trouble. We were hoping he could help us with the introductions, but it seems that's not going to work now. He still owes us a favor."

"profound"

The masked girl responded calmly, her tone revealing no hint of joy or sorrow, and then silently began tidying up her paintings.

A hint of helplessness appeared in the woman's eyes as she looked at the girl.

Everyone said this saintess was difficult to get along with, but now she understands.

Completely unable to see through the thoughts of the person in front of you.

But this was her mission after all, and she couldn't afford to slack off.

After thinking for a while, she said:

"Without Lin Yuzhou's introduction, I probably won't be able to meet Qin Yangjun if I just visit like this. Holy Maiden, please stay in this room for the time being and don't come out no matter what happens. I'll figure out the rest."

"Is it really necessary to go to so much trouble just to see Lord Qin Yang?"

Upon hearing this, the woman paused for a moment.

"Didn't the elder explain this clearly to you when he asked you to come here?"

"My master only told me to come and find Qin Yangjun; he said he would tell me the rest."

Upon hearing this, the woman was stunned for a long time, then sadly rubbed her forehead.

"Elder Situ really knows how to cause me trouble..."

She muttered something under her breath, then spoke:

"Holy Maiden...do you have someone you like?"

"like?"

The masked girl tilted her head, her cool eyes filled with confusion.

"Well...sigh...how am I supposed to explain this to you?"

The woman looked at the naive young girl in front of her with a headache.

"It's the kind of person... who makes you happy when you see him, and then... who misses him when you don't see him..."

Upon hearing the words of the person in front of her, the masked girl recalled the person wearing the straw hat from earlier.

The person whose name she didn't know, yet whose state of mind she could sense from the painting.

Thinking of this, the masked girl nodded.

"Have"

"have?!"

A look of shock flashed in the woman's eyes.

Based on the information she had, her saintess had absolutely no social circle.

Relationships with the opposite sex take place either in the ring or on the battlefield.

Now she's telling me she likes someone else?!

"You actually have someone you like? Who is it? Is it the second prince of the Divine Radiance Flame Kingdom? Or Li Mohai from Holy Spirit Mountain? Or someone from our Heavenly Blue Holy Land..."

At this moment, the girl shook her head.

"No...it was that person from just now."

"..."

The woman remained silent for a long time.

She naturally didn't think that her holy maiden had fallen for that unknown stranger.

Liking something isn't so cheap.

Moreover, this saintess's situation is more special than that of ordinary people.

"Holy Maiden, you may not have fully understood what I'm saying. Well then, I won't explain it to you anymore. Let's get down to business. Elder Situ asked you to come here this time mainly to get on good terms with Qin Yangjun before the major powers in the Eastern Continent."

"If possible, make him fall in love with you. That way, we can use Qin Yangjun as a springboard to get in touch with the Yuqian Sect and gain an advantage when the ancient ruins open."

"Oh...you mean I should seduce him?"

If one's words are not startling, one will not rest until death.

The masked girl's emotionless words nearly made the woman choke on her own saliva.
