The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Passerby: "What do you mean by 'you're not a 'connected' person anymore'?"

Chi Miao: "The serfs have been liberated and are now singing songs of triumph; I just accidentally became a domineering female CEO."

Passerby: "Huh?"

What is this thing?

They recognized each word the person was saying, but why did they sound so unfamiliar when they were put together?

Chi Miao smiled and shook her head, saying, "Just guess all you want~"

She uttered those words lightly and then left, leaving behind only the lingering scent of her pretentious swagger.

By the time everyone realized what had happened, the person had already left, leaving them guessing and guessing until they were scratching their heads but still couldn't figure it out.

"wrong!"

Who does that?! Making people guess what you're saying?

What were you doing in there?!

Please finish this act of being pretentious!

……

Of course, Chi Miao wouldn't finish showing off.

Jin Shengfei asked curiously, "Why?"

Chi Miao smiled and said, "If we say it now, it will only shock them for a moment, but it won't be something they'll remember for the rest of their lives."

"We must make them curious, so curious that they dream about it and their minds are constantly filled with questions about my identity."

"Then... at the moment when their expectations reach their peak, let them know, let them remember it for the rest of their lives."

"Just like if Empress Chun Yuan hadn't died at her best moment, Big Fat Orange would definitely have let down the living Empress Chun Yuan."

"For people, what they can't have is always more desirable."

Chi Miao stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of superiority.

Everyone: "..."

Although I couldn't understand it, it sounded very impressive.

Jingming asked curiously, "When do you plan to let them know about this?"

Chi Miao said, "Tonight."

……

Nighttime, Wan Jin Auction House.

Because the Heavenly Sword Sect concealed the news, tonight's auction was not particularly grand, but even so, the venue was still packed with people.

Moreover... there are definitely quite a few hidden millionaires.

Those few who received the news were all there for the same thing—the dragon-patterned jade.

There are private rooms on all four sides, and in the middle there is a huge private room that occupies the best view of Wan Jin Auction House.

Only gold members of Wan Jin Auction House are allowed to enter that private room.

At that moment, a flying sword appeared.

Several young cultivators dressed in Taoist robes flew out.

The flying sword swept across, filling the sky with spiritual energy. It was beautiful and eye-catching, and its entrance was extremely arrogant!

Everyone recognized them at a glance: "They're from the Heavenly Sword Sect! We didn't expect the Heavenly Sword Sect to be at the Wan Jin Auction House tonight. The one in the middle looks like Wenren Xiao, the current sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

"My God, is this what an immortal is like? Even their entrance is so extraordinary! Are those glittering things spiritual energy? Amazing!"

"Nonsense! That's the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, one of the Ten Great Sects! The most prestigious figure in Miaohua Continent. We can only look up to him. He's truly amazing..."

Everyone was envious; Wenren Xiao had successfully achieved the effect he wanted.

He sneered at the door of the private room: "Just a bunch of ignorant mortals who've never seen the world. A few simple spells are enough to make them believe. What kind of trouble can these uncultured commoners cause?"

An elder from the Heavenly Sword Sect standing nearby flattered, "Sect Master is wise!"

Another elder asked curiously, "But what is that golden thing that fell from the sky?"

Wenren Xiao was taken aback: "Something golden? What's something golden?"

As he spoke, he saw that it was starting to "rain" around him.

A golden "rain".

He reached out his hand, and the golden "rain" landed on it. It didn't disappear, and he looked closely—

"Golden flair?"

Luxury gold is a very expensive and special metal.

It is as light as snow, and its gold has a shimmering quality that can create a certain degree of illusion.

Even a palm-sized piece of flashy gold can fetch an astronomical price.

Look up...

The entire auction house erupted in excitement.

"Holy crap?! This is 'Luxury Gold'! They're just sprinkling it out like rain! This is pure, unadulterated money-throwing!"

"What's so great about throwing money around? This is far better than throwing money around! This is the ultimate act of throwing money around! A massive act of throwing money around!"

"Aaaaaah! Mine! All this glittering gold is mine! I never expected the Heavenly Sword Sect's appearance would be accompanied by a shower of glittering gold from the sky... This is practically a bodhisattva descending to earth!"

Wenren Xiaodu was stunned.

He looked at the elder beside him in astonishment and shouted angrily, "When did you make this decision? How come I didn't know?!"

This is extravagant gold, priceless!

With so much flashy gold being thrown out, his heart would almost stop!

The elders all shook their heads: "I don't know!!"

"Maybe...maybe it was done by those powerful families in Heavenly Sword City that we're protecting, to give us face?"

Wenren Xiao said, "That makes sense."

Since that's the case, then he won't hold back.

At this moment, Wenren Xiao spread his arms wide, appearing as if he were bestowing great blessings upon all living beings:

"Please, everyone, don't be so polite! This lavish gold is a gift from my Heavenly Sword Sect to you all!"

Everyone expressed their gratitude.

Just as he was about to speak.

The sound of a guqin playing could still be heard...

The sound of the guqin was exceptionally beautiful, making one feel as if they were in a fairyland. For a moment, auspicious clouds appeared amidst the golden rain of splendor.

As auspicious clouds appeared, a girl dressed in red, with her eyes closed and barefoot, stepped onto the clouds and walked step by step to the crowd.

She had a lotus flower mark on her forehead, her long hair was tied up high and bound only by a red rope, her skin was as white as snow, her eyes held a hint of wild laughter, her lips were slightly upturned, and her red dress fluttered, appearing and disappearing among the auspicious clouds.

Her eyes were golden, as if light was hidden within them.

Behind her stood a large group of people.

Each one was exceptionally beautiful, proud, and noble.

They stood up straight, like celestial beings descending to earth. After changing into the expensive clothes provided by the Jin family, they truly looked like they had stepped out of a painting.

Everyone was so amazed by the beauty of the scene that they gasped in astonishment.

"Oh my god...who...who are they! I have to draw them! This scene is absolutely beautiful!"

"This is amazing! These are truly divine beings! A group of proud and extraordinary young immortals!!"

"However... among these dozens of people, the ones standing at the very front look vaguely familiar..."

The girl in red at the head of the group looked at Wenren Xiao, her lips twitching slightly: "Uncle Wenren, why is it your Heavenly Sword Sect that gets the credit for the lavish gold that our group of prodigies gave us?"

"This is an event organized by Jin Shengfei, the eldest son of the Jin family, to thank our loyal customers. Even if it weren't for the Jin family's name, it would still be the turn of my Nine Swords Mountain."

"Even this credit has to be stolen? What... is your Heavenly Sword Sect that poor?"
