Chapter 660 Jiao’er’s Thoughts

Yun Lintian laughed slightly upon hearing Yu Jiao'er's exclamation. However, he refused to explain anything related to the origin of the Profound Stones.

Before he left the Black Jade Island, he had exchanged the best grade Profound Stones for the high-grade ones for a case like this. After all, the best grade one was extremely rare. It would be too eye-catching if he took it out blindly.

Yu Rongxi saw that Yun Lintian didn't say anything, she naturally understood this. She reprimanded her beloved disciple. "Jiao'er, why are you so rude?"

Yu Jiao'er stuck her tongue out and quickly put the ring back on the table. "I'm sorry, Brother Huoyun."

"It's okay." Yun Lintian smiled faintly, appearing he didn't mind about it.

Yu Rongxi looked at Yun Lintian and said sincerely. "I thank Young Master Huoyun on behalf of my clan."

"It's too serious, Senior Yu. Every here is a friend. There's no need for these gratitude words." Yun Lintian responded.

Yu Rongxi nodded and took the ring away.

Yun Lintian changed the topic. "Now, I wonder what kind of item they are going to put on auction."

As he spoke this, Yun Lintian suddenly thought of the Mystic Pavilion. Since he came here, he didn't seem to hear anything about it. Perhaps the Mystic Pavilion could not establish here due to the racial problem.

"Usually, there would be some high-grade artifacts, precious herbs, and human slaves. I don't think there will be any different this time." Jin Yang said. He had participated in the auction event often in the past. The contents were pretty much the same in those years. He believed it would be the same tomorrow.

"Human slaves?" A cold glint flashed through Yun Lintian's eyes for a second when he heard this.

Huoyun Yurou and Huoyun Zhu quickly looked at him, telling him to calm down.

However, the earlier change in Yun Lintian's eyes did not escape Yu Jiao'er, who had been staring at his face all this time. She was puzzled in her heart of why Yun Lintian suddenly turned cold. However, she was clever enough to not ask it out.

Jin Yang thought that Yun Lintian hadn't come out to experience the outside world much. He slowly explained. "Countless humans were crossing the Endless Sea to this continent throughout the years. They were either escaped criminals or treasure hunters. Anyway, whatever they were, once they got captured, they would have two fates waiting for them. Either get sold as a slave or become food."

Yu Rongxi added. "So, selling human slaves here is common. You will get used to it later."

Jin Yang nodded and said further. "Although we despise humans a lot, we would rather kill them instead of enslaving them."

Yun Lintian was uncomfortable to hear this, but he thought it was fair. After all, humans had also killed profound beasts, taking their bodies as treasures and food.

"Let's stop here for today. We will discuss it again after tomorrow's auction." Huoyun Yurou was afraid that Yun Lintian would reveal a flaw further.

"That's fine, Senior. My father should arrive here tomorrow." Jin Yang nodded in agreement. He stood up and said. "Then I'll take my leave first."

Meanwhile, Yu Rongxi felt something strange, but she couldn't pinpoint out. She simply bid farewell and left with her disciples.

Shortly after Jin Yang and Yu Rongxi's group left, Huoyun Yurou sighed softly and said to Yun Lintian. "You can help your fellow humans as much as you want. We support you."

"That's right. You don't need to worry about them." Huoyun Zhu added.

Yun Lintian was moved. In any case, Huoyun Yurou and Huoyun Zhu were profound beasts, and humans were their enemies. He didn't expect them to support him like this.

"Thank you, Seniors." Yun Lintian sincerely bowed his head.

Huoyun Yurou smiled and said softly. "Let's take a rest first."

"Alright." Yun Lintian nodded and walked to his bedroom with Linlin.

"Master… I feel that Brother Huoyun is different." After returning to their rooms, Yu Jiao'er couldn't help saying this.

"Oh? What's the difference?" Yu Rongxi sat down on a comfortable chair and looked at her disciple with curiosity.

Yu Jiao'er frowned slightly and shook her head. "I don't know. He seems… to care a lot about humans when Master and Uncle Jin mentioned it."

Yu Rongxi's brows raised in surprise. She recalled Yun Lintian's reaction earlier and discovered it was indeed strange. "Maybe this is his first time hearing this. As you know, he's likely to stay in the Fire Cloud Ancestral Land for all his life."

Yu Jiao'er tilted her head, appearing she was still doubting. In the next moment, she nodded her head and said. "Well, that's true."

Yu Rongxi smiled faintly and changed the topic. "How do you feel about him?"

Faint blushes appeared on Yu Jiao'er's cheeks as she replied. "I-I… I think he's good."

Hearing this, the smile on Yu Rongxi's face grew more assertive. "You're eighteen now. It's time for you to find a man. In terms of talent, he's not bad, and his appearance is superb. Master supports you."

Yu Jiao'er's face turned even redder. "W-what are you saying, Master? I didn't even know him for more than an hour. H-how could I find him as a partner?"

"Oh, our Little Jiao'er is shy." Yu Rongxi teased.

Yu Jiao'er pouted. "Don't tease me, Master! I'm ignoring you now. Hmph!"

Yu Rongxi shook her head with a smile and said nothing more.

"Oh, right. Master. Brother Huoyun is very powerful. I can feel it. But he is also a bit strange," Yu Jiao'er abruptly said.

"Why is that?" Yu Rongxi was interested. Her disciple had a unique perception, and her past judgment had always been correct so far.

Yu Jiao'er's brows creased together. She was trying to find the right words to describe him. A moment later, she said. "Let me describe him this way. He is not necessarily losing you, Master. And I even feel he's far stronger than that."

A hint of surprise flashed across Yu Rongxi's beautiful emerald eyes. "Are you sure?" She asked with a serious expression.

Yu Jiao'er nodded her head gently. "I'm sure about it."

"Is that so?… Interesting… No wonder Senior Huoyun has kept him in secret for all these years." Yu Rongxi said with an interesting smile.
