This auction was the one most highly anticipated by the Azure Water School students. The three Channel Opening Pills were not going to be sold to outsiders, all of them would be auctioned off to the students within the school.
Just because of this, the students felt more favorable towards Baili Hongzhuang.
If it were someone else, they would likely only go after more benefits for themselves, not leaving the Channel Opening Pill for their classmates at all.
Baili Hongzhuang woke up early. Soon after she would have to begin the auction. The students coming would not be a few. She also had to make preparations.
At the same time Baili Hongzhuang opened her door, Dibei Chen’s door also opened.
Thus, just as Baili Hongzhuang opened the door, she saw Dibei Chen’s smiling face, as bright as the shining sun.
“Wifey, did you dream about me yesterday?” Dibei Chen’s charming eyes blinked, an intimate smile on his face.
Baili Hongzhuang cast a sidelong glance at Dibei Chen, lips curved into an enchantingly wicked smile.
“I dreamed about a bear yesterday. I wonder if that was you?”
“Pfft.”
Xia Zhiqing had just entered the special enrollment student dormitory when she heard Baili Hongzhuang and Dibei Chen’s conversation and couldn’t help but cough out a laugh.
The sudden laughter caused both Baili Hongzhuang and Dibei Chen to turn their heads towards the source, seeing Xia Zhiqing slowly making her way over, clad in a purple colored light muslin dress.
“Hongzhuang, the two of you, husband and wife, are really interesting.” The laughter lingered on Xia Zhiqing’s face. “I wasn’t intentionally eavesdropping on your conversation.”
Baili Hongzhuang gave a sort of helpless look towards Xia Zhiqing and also gave a fierce glare at Dibei Chen.
Dibei Chen shrugged, looking innocent and pure. He also didn’t know that Xia Zhiqing would appear at this time.
“Zhiqing, why did you come over so early?”
Baili Hongzhaung’s light ethereally beautiful voice was full of joy, lips curved into a smile as splendid as a cherry blossom.
Xia Zhiqing shook her head, a slightly exaggerated expression on her face. “I haven’t come early at all. There are already many students waiting outside of your dormitory.”
“Today, I originally planned to come a bit later. However, my roommate woke up really early and even the classmates next door had already left.”
I also got up. Just now, I had to force my way through the crowd just to get here to your special enrollment student dormitory.
Xia Zhiqing’s voice was full helplessness. This scene was really way beyond her expectations.
She almost can imagine that today’s auction will definitely be unusually explosive.
“Have many people already gathered outside now?” Baili Hongzhuang arched her eyebrow.
Xia Zhiqing continuously nodded. “It isn’t just many people. It’s more like a sea of people!”
Baili Hongzhuang was slightly startled. It was still a ways from the time of the auction and the reason she woke up early was to have time to prepare.
She never would have thought that the students would come even earlier than she did. This showed how highly attractive the Channel Opening Pill was to them.
“Kacha”
The sound of a door opening was heard. Hearing Xia Zhiqing’s voice, the seriously injured Bai Junyu also came out.
“Zhiqing, you came”, Bai Junyu said smiling.
Xia Zhiqing looked at Bai Junyu’s improved but still pale face, smilingly saying, “You’re recovering quite well!”
“Hehe, it’s all due to Hongzhuang. Otherwise, I afraid that I would have already lost my life.”
Bai Junyu looked towards Baili Hongzhuang, gratefulness in his eyes.
From the moment he was bitten by that demonic beast, he had already fallen into despair, afraid that he would be able to keep his right hand and never being able to become an outstanding cultivator in the future.
He didn’t think that Baili Hongzhuang would turn out to be a famous doctor, not only helping him recover quickly, but also leaving no future impairments on his right hand.
Big favors of kindness didn’t need to be thanked. He deeply stored this grace in his heart.
His life was saved by Baili Hongzhuang!
Baili Hongzhuang smiled lightly, “It’s your own fortune to recover so quickly. In a few days, it should be completely healed.”
These days, Bai Junyu had been feeling rather bored staying in his room. Since everybody else had came out, he wanted to come out to have some fun as well.
Bai Junyu nodded with a smile on his face, “I’m looking forward to recovering from this injury soon, it’s really been pretty boring lately.”
Xia Zhiqing shot Bai Junyu a glance as he spoke in that kind of manner. It was definitely boring, not speaking to anybody for the whole day.
While people were conversing with one another, Dongfang Yu, Gong Shaoqing, and Liu Qinyue came down from the upstairs.
“Good morning, everybody!” Liu Qingyue greeted with a bright and beautiful smile, “We wanted to come out earlier, but we didn’t expect you all to have already come here.”
Baili Hongzhuang smiled indifferently as she nodded, “It wasn’t just us either, the students from the auction also came rather early.”
“Oh?” Liu Qingyue raised her eyebrows, surprised, “Has the auction not started yet?”
“The Channel Opening Pill is too enticing of an item for us cultivators.” Bai Junyu laughed, “These days, I’ve heard that the students are looking everywhere in search of treasures, all for the auction today.”
Xia Zhiman inspected Liu Qinyue. She hadn’t thought Liu Qinyue would always be so cheerful.
She wasn’t very fond of Liu Qinyue. She was never interested in those kinds of weak, delicate mannered women.
Plus, whenever she saw Liu Qinyue and Hongzhaung together, her heart always had a bad feeling and wariness towards Liu Qinyue.
But today, it seemed to have somewhat dissipated.
Why was that…?
Xia Zhiman frowned as she thought about why she was always wary towards Liu Qinyue.
Dongfang Yu watched Baili Hongzhaung and Dibei Chen stood together, his eyes darkening again.
But his eyes soon restored their usual bright and gentle gaze, “Since we’re all ready, it’s better to go have a look now.”
“That’d be good” Baili Hongzhuang smiled, dimples appearing on her face as she spoke, “Shall we go?”
Dibei Chen seemed relaxed as he followed behind Baili Hongzhuang out the dorm room, his eyes occasionally landing on Dongfang Yu’s body.
Dongfang Yu’s quick change of expressions didn’t escape his eye.
Such a face wasn’t just sadness or loneliness.
As a man, he was clear about the meaning behind such an expression.
It seems……. Dongfang Yu’s feelings were deeper than he had thought.
Luckily Dongfang Yu wasn’t as blunt about his own feelings as he was and that his wife was very dense when it comes to emotions.
Dibei Chen felt a tiny bit glad. Sometimes it seems that her slowness wasn’t always a bad thing.
Hei Mu was very distressed. Before, he had always been the young master’s hidden guard.
After the young master left, he had been put in charge of Miss Baili’s safety.
Now that the young master returned, he natrually should’ve been his personal hidden guard. But yesterday, the young master told him that he should stay hidden as a guard and not always follow at his side.
Hei Mu’s mind was filled with thoughts. What did he do wrong?
Could it be that his young master still didn’t forgive his mistake of failing to protect Miss Baili?
