"If your brother does not know you are for sale, then who is that young man? He continues to harbor intentions of killing me." Xuan Ji felt uncomfortable being stared at by the youth.
Nan Chi turned her gaze to where Xuan Ji was pointing. Her eyes widened instantly, tears began to flow down her cheeks. However, she quickly wiped them away and pretended not to see the young man.
"Hmm?" Xuan Ji sensed that they knew each other, and upon closer inspection, they did share a slight resemblance.
"Ancestor Mu Ji, we should move to another room. It seems these guests will cause a commotion, and the security will soon deal with them," said the red-haired courtesan.
Xuan Ji took a sip of the thousand flowers wine and grinned widely. "It's fine! I enjoy watching the conflicts between the Warriors. I'm curious whether the Night Blossom brothel dares to expel those spoiled young masters."
One of the Warriors from the Heavenly Emperor Realm claimed to be from the Lu Clan. From Mr. Wang's information, the Lu Clan was one of the prominent clans in the city of Huayang. Typically, brothels or gambling houses treated large clans softly, unless they had much stronger supporters.
"Doesn't Ancestor Mu Ji fear they will turn against you once they find out Miss Nan Chi has been given to you?" retorted the courtesan.
"What’s there to fear from those rascal boys?" Xuan Ji replied, casting a contemptuous look at the young master of the Lu Clan.
The courtesans immediately frowned, not expecting to encounter such an arrogant ancestor. Most of the prominent clans' elders were generally from the Realm of Immortality, and some even had ancestors hundreds of years old.
No one in the Lu Clan knew the number of Warriors from the Realm of Immortality they possessed. Two of their ancestors became Elders of the Kunlun Sect, while the Clan Leader of the Lu Clan was the strongest Spear Warrior in the city of Huayang. The only worthy opponent was the Leader of the Zhao Clan.
However, no matter how strong those Clan Leaders were, they were still weaker than the ancestors residing in the Kunlun Sect.
"Miss Qing Yi, quickly call the manager of this brothel. We want to demand that Nan Chi be auctioned off immediately!" shouted a stout young man, one of the young masters of the Zhao Clan. Even though he did not possess a Yang body, he participated in this auction to prevent those with Yang bodies from obtaining Nan Chi's Yin body.
The Zhao Clan aimed to prevent other clans from possessing the youngest Warrior in the Realm of Immortality. The Zhao Clan had to become the most powerful clan in the city of Huayang, eliminating even the slightest disturbance as swiftly as possible.
"Young Master Tian, I told you before. Miss Nan Chi has already been given to an ancestor; he is the esteemed guest of the Night Blossom brothel," responded Qing Yi.
"What does that ancestor want with Nan Chi? Does he intend to take her as his disciple?" Zhao Tian was curious.
If that were true, it wouldn't really be a problem for the Zhao Clan. However, it was somewhat disappointing for him because he had failed to taste the delicacy of the blossoming young girl.
As a clan that upheld values of justice, opportunities like this came only once in a lifetime. If not for fighting against those with Yang bodies, he and his brothers were forbidden from stepping foot in the brothel or disturbing the girls outside.
Qing Yi did not immediately respond to Zhao Tian's question; she was listening to someone's explanation through telepathy.
After several deep breaths, she answered Zhao Tian's question, "I don't know why the matron handed Miss Nan Chi to him. If you are curious, you can ask him directly. He is in this room with us now."
Everyone turned to where Qing Yi pointed.
"How did I not realize that Miss Nan Chi was actually beside us?"
"Yes, but who is that old rascal? How dare he embrace Miss Nan Chi!"
"Hey, are you tired of living? The one you insult is an ancestor!"
"Why should I be afraid of that unknown ancestor? In my clan, we have many Elders of the Immortal Realm and an ancestor who is an Elder in the Kunlun Sect!"
The visitors on the third floor of the brothel sneered at Xuan Ji. They were not afraid of her, as most of them came from large clans and were pupils of the Kunlun Sect.
“Hey, where are you going, Lu Ming?” Zhao Tian blocked Lu Ming, who had just taken a few steps towards Xuan Ji.
“Zhao Tian, don’t bother me. Mind your own business; I’ll go wherever I want!” Lu Ming retorted with a scornful look at the chubby youth his age.
Zhao Tian grinned widely and responded. “Are you going to provoke that ancestor? Are you tired of living?” he mocked.
Lu Ming snorted coldly and shoved Zhao Tian aside. He then walked towards Xuan Ji, who was still seated, being massaged by Nan Chi and other courtesans.
“How many millions of gold coins do you want?” Lu Ming stated bluntly. “Or I can trade you for an Ancient Artifact or a high-grade spiritual weapon. Just say what you want!”
Zhao Tian and the other martial artists were taken aback by Lu Ming's offer at such a high price, leaving no room for them to make a higher bid. Even in Zhao Tian’s dimensional ring, there were only 500,000 gold coins available.
Xuan Ji did not respond to Lu Ming’s offer; instead, she enjoyed a roasted deer thigh while glancing at Nan Chi, who had her head lowered.
Boooommmm!
A young man, about 28 years old, suddenly slammed the table, shattering it into pieces.
“I can’t take your nonsense anymore!” the young man shouted. “My sister is not a courtesan or an auction item!”
Lu Ming, Zhao Tian, and the other martial artists turned to look at the young man.
“Who is he?”
“He seems to be wearing a Kunlun Sect emblem, but he looks unfamiliar. Could he just be an outer courtyard disciple?”
“Oh, I remember him. He is Nan Ge, Nan Chi’s brother. They were both picked up from the streets by the madam who owns this brothel and then placed into the Huayang Sect,” replied one martial artist who recognized the young man’s identity.
“If you’re unhappy with your sister's fate, seek revenge against the madam. Don’t make things worse here!” Lu Ming sneered, increasingly annoyed. Why were there so many disruptions in his pursuit of that Yin body? Wasn’t she destined to be the youngest Immortal Realm martial artist of all time?
“Ah, so you are the brother of Miss Nan Chi,” Zhao Tian said with a broad smile. “I can help your sister, but the condition is that I will become your brother-in-law. How about that? This is a great offer; you’ll gain protection from the Zhao Clan and access to abundant resources. Your sister will also be happy and become the mistress of the Zhao family.”
