Chapter 3493: Act Dumb

happened before. 。"Not only this informant, but many others I sent to investigate the whereabouts of the high-ranking officials from both alliances who went to that mysterious place have all died, wit...But perversely, the Head Steward had not told him the true identities of these cultivators before him!

The lord of the year did not hesitate, immediately knelt down to pay his respects.

After all, even the head steward of the Ling Auction House needed to show such great respect, so as the head of an average-rank family in Wu Prefecture, he naturally had to bow his head.

This is the law of survival in the Wilderness.

In the face of absolute power and background, dignity is utterly meaningless.

"Alright, since you don't even know who I am, there's no need for all that formality. Little Black... if you have something to ask, just spit it out! Once we're done, we're heading straight to that dreadful Bi family." The little carp sat on the sofa behind him, legs crossed, looking effortlessly relaxed.

The year ring still knelt on the ground, not daring to lift his head.

When the little fish said "detestable Bijiang," his heart grew even more fearful.

In Wuzhou, who dares to evaluate the Bi Family, one of the four major forces, in such a manner!

If this were to reach Bi Jia's ears, it would be a death penalty for the nine clans!

This young girl, who is dressed in fiery red and doesn't look very old, dares to say such things out loud.

With the utmost respect to the previous Grand Master, and the unusually strict security forces outside the auction house today...

Could it be that these people before us are the reason for Ling's Auction House being on high alert today

The guards outside must be from the Bi Family. Why does that girl seem so dissatisfied with the Bi Family

At this moment, Yuan Jing's mind raced, churning with countless thoughts.

"You should know Xu Feng, right"

Just then, Fang Yu had walked up to him and asked.

Nianjing looked at Fang Yu in surprise.

In his eyes, this male cultivator before him had dark skin and a faint aura. He didn't look like a powerful cultivator at all, nor did he possess the noble air of someone from a large faction, unlike that girl and the cultivator with white eyebrows...

But, this male cultivator looked ordinary, he was also someone you couldn't afford to offend!

"Xu Feng, the head of Xuan Shan Sect and the leader of the Hundred Sects Alliance, do you know him" Fang Yu asked again when he saw Nian Jing Lun remained silent.

"Understood, I understand." The year ring replied.

"I've recently been looking for a monk, wearing a golden kasaya and very handsome," Fang Yu said. "Xu Feng told me he met this monk at one of your banquets."

"Monk..."

The year-ring scowled, as if recalling something.

"This monk is rather peculiar in many ways, and since he's here at your banquet, he must have been invited by you. Don't tell me... you don't recognize him." Fang Yu said calmly.

"I, I don't actually remember that. You, you let me think about it again..." Nian Jinglun replied a little nervously.

Fang Yu nodded and stopped talking.

With a furrowed brow, Nianjing Lun fell back into deep thought.

His expression caused Fang Yu's brow to furrow slightly.

Could it be that this fellow truly doesn't know this monk

"Tell me first, were the guests at your banquet personally invited by you" Fang Yu asked.

"Yes, but...who the guests bring is beyond my control. I have no recollection of this monk you speak of, nor did I invite him...Perhaps one of the guests brought him along." Year-Wheel replied.

"Are you absolutely sure you don't remember anything" Fang Yu asked again.

"Really! If I had a recollection, I would certainly say it. How dare I deceive…" Nianjing Lun replied.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

In this case, the man in the world doesn't know who he is or why he's looking for the monk. It's impossible that he would conceal this without reason.

In particular, since the Year Ring had performed a bow of worship, it showed that it knew the background of the small carp was extremely profound and absolutely could not be offended.

Therefore, the senior monk very likely... really didn't know of that monk's existence.

This means the trail has run cold.

How this monk ended up at the wedding feast of Nianjing Lun and how he connected with Xu Feng... perhaps only Xu Feng knows.

However, Xu Feng is dead.

Fan Yu frowned.

The year-journeyer was anxious, and asked, “I beg you... What did Xu Feng or that monk do I have nothing to do with them! Please, Honorable One, see clearly...”

"It's alright, isn't it I heard Xu Feng and you are very close." Fang Yu smiled faintly.

"No, no, no…… Xu Feng and I aren't on the same level. But he's very good at flattering me, always sending me a lot of gifts. When I receive his gifts, of course, I have to put on a show. But he and I have never been true friends, please believe me!" Nian Jinglun was so frightened that his voice trembled.

Now, he could almost be certain that Xu Feng had offended the few people in front of him with terrifying backgrounds!

Therefore, we must sever ties no matter what!

Fang Yu, seeing the year-round performance of this celestial wheel, knew it must not be lying.

"Alright, you can go now." Fang Yu thought for a moment, then said.

The Year Realm Wheel was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed repeatedly before quickly leaving the secret room.

“Little Black, you didn't ask anything at all, did you” the little fish frowned and said.

"He really didn't know anything." Fang Yu said.

"What kind of monk are you looking for I can ask my people to help you look." The little carp said.

Fang Yu was just waiting for this sentence!

When he turned around, just about to speak, he saw the little fish with her arms crossed and a mischievous smile on her face.

"I won't help you for now. Let's talk about this after we get to Bi Jia." said the little fish.

Fang Yu wasn't in a hurry either, and nodded: "Okay."

"Alright, then let's go." The little fish stood up and said.

"Aren't you curious why I sought out this monk" Fang Yu asked.

"I'm not curious." The little fish walked up to Fang Yu with her hands behind her back and said, "Compared to this, I'm more curious why you are so black, Little Black."

"It was dried from when I used to grow vegetables before," Fang Yu replied.

"...Haha!" The little fish couldn't help laughing and walked out of the room.

Bai Mei narrowed her eyes, glanced at Fang Yu and Han Miao Yi behind him, then followed Xiao Liyu out.

"Feather Brother, what is the identity of this little carp" Han Miaoyi looked at Fang Yu and asked through divine sense transmission.

"It's hard to say, but the background must be very powerful. Maybe it's one of the four major forces in Wu State, or maybe... from a higher level." Fang Yu replied.

"But she doesn't look very old, and her personality seems quite innocent..." Han Miao Yi said.

"Indeed naive, but also pretending to be silly, so we should just play along," Fang Yu said. "She doesn't want to expose it, so let's just keep acting."

"Anyway, fundamentally speaking, there is no conflict between us and her. In fact, her presence could possibly help us understand the situation within this Southern Wasteland more quickly."

"Mmm," Han Miao replied.

In conversation, they left the venue with the little goldfish.

But instead of leaving from the original entrance, they came to an exit on the other side of the venue.

After entering, you need to walk through a passage of medium size, all the way to the north side of the auction hall.
