"Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao…"
A bitter taste filled Li Feiyan's mouth, and she forced a smile onto her delicate, jade-like face.
She had previously felt that Jun Xiaoyao was too overbearing.
But now, thinking that his sister had been kidnapped and auctioned off...
Li Feiyan even felt that Jun Xiaoyao not directly going on a killing spree was already a sign of his good temper.
Otherwise, she might have been gone!
That Servant left with his head bowed.
In Li Feiyan's heart, she was seething with hatred for the Red Dust Mercenary Group.
On the main seat, Jun Xiaoyao's expression was calm.
But the more tranquil he appeared, the more uneasy Li Feiyan felt deep down.
"Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao, this is what happened."
Li Feiyan hurriedly explained the specific situation to Jun Xiaoyao.
She just wanted to distance herself, to show that this matter had nothing to do with her.
It wasn't her who wanted to capture Yunxi; it was her subordinates who were too foolish.
"Don't say anything else. Just wipe out that group of mercenaries, no problem?" Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Of course." Li Feiyan nodded.
Li Feiyan's identity held no sway before Jun Xiaoyao.
Unless...
The one behind the Red Dust Merchant Guild, perhaps, could have some effect.
However, that individual was not currently in the Dark Star Sea.
But one of his followers would be arriving.
This was also why Li Feiyan was here.
If that individual's follower stepped forward, perhaps there would still be some room for a turnaround.
And now, she naturally had to fulfill Jun Xiaoyao's wishes.
The Red Dust Mercenary Group was essentially a dog kept by the Hongchen Auction House.
It helped the Hongchen Auction House scour everywhere for various rare items.
And now, this dog had provoked an unprovokable existence, so it naturally had to die first.
Not long after, Li Feiyan received news and smiled faintly at Jun Xiaoyao.
"Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao, everyone from the Red Dust Mercenary Group has perished."
However, Jun Xiaoyao remained expressionless.
"What about you?"
Jun Xiaoyao spoke.
"Me?"
Li Feiyan's heart skipped a beat.
"I just helped your younger brother Li Wushuang remove his petrified body, and now you're auctioning my sister."
"Although it wasn't your fault, you are, after all, the principal of the Hongchen Auction House." Jun Xiaoyao said slowly.
"What? Wushuang's petrified body has been removed?" Li Feiyan was surprised.
As the principal of the Hongchen Auction House, she rarely returned to the Li Clan Emperor Clan.
And it hadn't been long since Li Wushuang's petrified body was resolved, so Li Feiyan naturally didn't know yet.
However, the more she thought about it, the more her heart sank.
This meant that she actually owed Jun Xiaoyao a favor.
After all, she valued her younger brother Li Wushuang very much.
But the Hongchen Auction House had, instead, kidnapped his sister for auction.
No matter what, Li Feiyan was in the wrong.
"Then, Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao's intention is…"
Li Feiyan took a deep breath, her graceful curves rising and falling.
If it meant paying a certain price to compensate, she was willing.
She also didn't want to make an enemy of someone like Jun Xiaoyao.
"Open your Sea of Consciousness and let me plant a mark."
Jun Xiaoyao lightly tapped the armrest with his finger, as if discussing a trivial matter.
"What, Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao, this…"
Li Feiyan was stunned.
Although her status couldn't compare to Jun Xiaoyao's.
She was still a Prodigy of an Emperor Clan, after all.
To be marked would mean losing her dignity as a person.
Her life and death would be at Jun Xiaoyao's whim.
"Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao, I admit, this matter was indeed a mistake made by my Hongchen Auction House."
"I also promise that I will accompany Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao to the Yan Clan Ancient Family afterward to bring the Young Lord's sister back."
"However, isn't the Young Lord's request a bit excessive?"
It must be said that as the principal managing the Hongchen Auction House, Li Feiyan possessed Heart-Nature.
Even at this moment, her mind remained steady.
Jun Xiaoyao, however, smiled.
"Yan Clan Ancient Family? A clan destined for destruction, do you think it needs you?"
"Choose to be marked, or… perish!"
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes were as indifferent as frost.
Li Feiyan was also a widely renowned beauty, but in his eyes, she was like a mere skeleton adorned with powder.
The reason he wanted to mark Li Feiyan was naturally not because he had any particular interest in her.
Rather, he felt that by controlling her as a chess piece, she might play some role in dealing with Li Wushuang in the future.
That was all.
Moreover, this time, Li Feiyan was in the wrong.
Jun Xiaoyao greatly enjoyed the act of being unforgiving when in the right.
Li Feiyan bit her lip.
Previously, although she had not personally met Jun Xiaoyao.
She had heard of Jun Xiaoyao's personality, which was said to be quite domineering.
Now it seemed, the rumors were indeed true.
But…
Aside from her Li Clan Emperor Clan background, she actually had another card to play.
Just as Li Feiyan was about to say something.
Suddenly, a faint voice came from outside the Hongchen Auction House.
"Miss Li, what's going on? Has someone come to cause trouble at the Hongchen Auction House?"
As the words fell, a man strolled in with his hands clasped behind his back.
He also appeared young, with the bearing of a Dragon and a tiger, and his eyes were as imposing as a golden lamp.
Although his Qi was concealed, Jun Xiaoyao still detected it.
He was also a Creation God Venerable.
However, he was incomparable to Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao's age, at most, was only in his twenties.
While this man was at least over a thousand years old.
Among Cultivators, a thousand years was still considered young.
And to have cultivated to Creation God Venerable at a thousand years old, this person could be considered a top Prodigy.
Seeing the man arrive, Li Feiyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed there would be a glimmer of hope, and she wouldn't have to be marked by Jun Xiaoyao.
The man immediately noticed Jun Xiaoyao.
Li Feiyan then said, "This is Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao of the Yun Clan Emperor Clan."
"Oh, you are Jun Xiaoyao of the Yun Clan Emperor Clan?"
The man's eyes showed a strange light.
Unlike others who reacted with awe upon hearing Jun Xiaoyao's name.
This man's expression, while showing surprise and curiosity, lacked that sense of reverence.
Jun Xiaoyao merely glanced at the man, then calmly withdrew his gaze.
He didn't care who this man was, or which force he belonged to, nor was he interested in knowing.
He continued to look at Li Feiyan.
"What is your decision? To choose to be marked by me, or… death?"
Li Feiyan's face turned pale.
The man, seeing Jun Xiaoyao ignore him, couldn't help but slightly frown.
And upon hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, a hint of coldness flashed in the man's expression.
"Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao, you've recently gained quite a reputation in the Boundary Sea, but to enslave Miss Li is perhaps a bit too domineering."
"And you know, Miss Li is my lord's…"
Boom!
Just as the man's words were unfinished.
Jun Xiaoyao casually slapped out a palm!
Like a palm from a Heavenly God!
Pfft!
The man was directly sent flying, like a cannonball, blasted ten thousand feet out of the Hongchen Auction House, shattering numerous stars beyond the heavens.
"What kind of insignificant creature, so noisy…"
