Xuan Su's Favor

"There's an Auction at the Ten Thousand Gold Merchant Association today. I was just thinking of going to have a look!"

Ziyue went with them to the Ten Thousand Gold Merchant Association.

On the way, when they spoke of Wu Yun becoming an Offering Elder of the Ten Thousand Gold Merchant Association, Ziyue became unhappy and immediately invited him to join the City Lord's Mansion. He could become a Guest Elder there and receive the same benefits; the two positions did not conflict.

Having already agreed to become an Offering Elder of the Ten Thousand Gold Merchant Association, Wu Yun could not bring himself to refuse his senior sister. He agreed to accompany her to the City Lord's Mansion afterward and apply for the position of Guest Elder.

Only then did Ziyue brighten up. She teased Wu Yun, "Junior Brother, I'm good friends with Xia Zhilan, the eldest daughter of the Ten Thousand Gold Merchant Association. Zhilan is a delicate, breathtaking beauty. Once we get there, I'll introduce you two. If you manage to win over the eldest daughter, the Ten Thousand Gold Merchant Association will value you far more than some Offering Elder."

"What are you talking about, Senior Sister? How could I, Wu Yun, be the sort of man who lives off women?"

Wu Yun first refused with a solemn expression, then returned to his usual roguish manner and looked at Ziyue. "Besides, if I were going to do that, why would I look far away when someone close at hand is better? Isn't Senior Sister the better choice? And I don't believe there is a more beautiful woman than you in all of Flame City!"

"Oh my, you brat, you even dare tease your senior sister." Ziyue happily punched Wu Yun's arm with her little fist.

Yet rather than being the slightest bit angry, she even seemed secretly pleased.

Yan Xuan, who was in the carriage with them, could no longer keep a straight face. He turned his head away, deciding that what the eye did not see would not trouble the heart.

Ziyue had always been aloof, yet now she was joking around with this junior brother. Wu Yun really knew how to charm women.

Still, Master Yan envied Wu Yun. If he had possessed Wu Yun's thick skin back then, he would not have remained single to this day.

Ten Thousand Gold Merchant Association!

It was especially bustling today.

Many wealthy merchants and distinguished guests had gathered, while several attendants at the entrance ushered them into the Auction House.

A carriage came to a stop, and Wu Yun's group of three stepped out.

When an Auction House attendant spotted Master Yan's carriage, he hurriedly ran toward the two women at the entrance. "Steward Su, Master Yan has arrived."

The two women were exceptionally eye-catching. One wore a red gown. Her skin was as fair as snow, and a poised, graceful smile rested upon her peach-blossom face, making her extraordinarily captivating. She appeared no different from a young woman in the prime of youth, but her full curves and elegant bearing lent her a mature charm that was utterly enchanting.

At her side stood a tall woman in green. She too was stunningly beautiful, though her lovely face, somewhat similar to the first woman's, held a trace of cool indifference. Compared to the former, she was a little more youthful and unripe, yet she possessed a distinctive allure of her own.

The moment Wu Yun stepped down from the carriage, he noticed the two women amid the crowd.

Both women were peerless beauties. Standing together like a pair of sisters, it was impossible for them not to draw attention. Moreover, judging from the mingled passion and reverence in the gazes around them, their identities appeared far from ordinary.

The two women could rival Ziyue, whether in temperament or appearance.

As expected of Flame City, the quality of the girls here was on a whole other level... Wu Yun silently compared them in his heart. These sisterly beauties were far lovelier than the sisters of the Xie Family in Qingyang Town. Even Lin Xia, with her nice legs, fell noticeably short in terms of temperament.

In Qingyang Town, perhaps only little Qing Tan could steadily surpass them.

The two women walked over, casting Wu Yun a surprised glance. They did not recognize this young man who was riding in Master Yan's carriage in Flame City.

"Master Yan!"

"Ziyue!"

Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan greeted them warmly, and Xia Zhilan directly hooked her arm through Ziyue's.

"Steward Su, Miss Xia!"

"And this is?" Xuan Su looked curiously at Wu Yun.

"He's my junior brother, my teacher's newly accepted disciple. Sister Su, Zhilan, don't underestimate my junior brother. Though he's still so young, he's already a Two-Seal Symbol Master!" Ziyue introduced him before anyone else could, as though she were showing off a prized treasure.

Wu Yun smiled awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

Yan Xuan interrupted the excited Ziyue. "Ziyue, let's go inside before we talk. There are too many people here."

A Two-Seal Symbol Master, and so young.

Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan were both startled. The former was considering how to recruit such a talented young man, while the latter was simply curious that his strength was actually greater than hers.

They entered the Auction House. The Auction had yet to begin, so the four of them went to a private room.

Yan Xuan immediately explained how Wu Yun had slain the Chief and Deputy Sect Leaders of the Blood Garment Sect.

This left Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan as stunned as they had been earlier.

"Little Brother Wu Yun, I can tell you're someone destined to accomplish great things. A man like you is exactly the sort this sister admires most."

Xuan Su swayed gracefully over to Wu Yun's side. Passing close beside him, she placed her delicate fingers directly on his shoulder.

She's so seductive that ordinary men wouldn't be able to handle it... Wu Yun secretly held his breath. A faint fragrance clung to Xuan Su, stirring restless impulses in anyone who caught its scent.

Among all the women Wu Yun had met, Xuan Su was the most feminine one in his eyes, without question.

"Steward Su, you flatter me. If people do not offend me, I do not offend them. Killing was merely a last resort!" Wu Yun quickly shifted aside.

It was not that he did not want to be close to a beauty, but Xuan Su was simply too alluring.

That would be awkward.

Xia Zhilan, meanwhile, cautiously studied Wu Yun in secret. Gu Ying and Wei Tong were both notorious ruthless figures in Flame City, men who lived by the blade and killed without blinking.

Yet those two vicious men had actually been killed by this harmless-looking young man before her.

It was truly hard to believe!

But Master Yan and Ziyue would not lie! That proved this young man was far from as simple as he appeared.

Most importantly, he was about the same age as her, yet his strength was already so formidable.

Xia Zhilan was at the late Heavenly Origin Stage, and among Flame City's younger generation, her strength was enough to rank in the top three.

But compared to Wu Yun, the difference was like heaven and earth.

Wu Yun's record was too terrifying. He could even kill experts at the Perfect Yuan Dan Stage. One step further, and he would be on the same level as her father.

Xuan Su said, "The president is not here, but I can make the decision. From today onward, Little Brother Wu Yun will be an Offering Elder of my Ten Thousand Gold Merchant Association. This is your Enshrined Elder Token!"

As a woman, Xuan Su was extremely decisive. She made the decision at once and handed Wu Yun the Offering Elder's Identity Token.

Not only that, she then took out a Cosmic Bag.

"There are one hundred thousand Yang Yuan Stones inside. Consider it your first payment for eliminating the Blood Garment Sect and becoming an Offering Elder."

Yan Xuan and Ziyue were both stunned. They had not expected Xuan Su to be willing to spend such a vast sum.

Xia Zhilan also looked at Xuan Su in surprise. One hundred thousand Yang Yuan Stones was no small amount.

But when she considered Wu Yun's achievements, she understood. Still, she admired Xuan Su... This is Sister Xuan Su's boldness. No wonder Father had overruled all objections to make her steward.

By doing so, she would surely earn Wu Yun's goodwill, making it much easier to recruit him.

Xuan Su was truly so generous. As expected of someone broad-minded.

Wu Yun looked at the Cosmic Bag and sighed inwardly, but he hurriedly refused. "Steward Su, I can't accept this. It's too much!"

After all, he had come to seek the Ten Thousand Gold Merchant Association's help. As for the Blood Garment Sect's territory, they could not swallow it all anyway, so he had merely done them a favor along the way.

"Rest assured, Little Brother Wu Yun. This is what you deserve. This sister believes you're worth the price!"

Xuan Su stepped directly toward him, grasped Wu Yun's hand with both of her fair, delicate jade hands, and placed the Cosmic Bag in his palm.

This made Ziyue, standing nearby, frown deeply.

Wu Yun also inadvertently brushed against Xuan Su's soft hand, and inwardly he cried out,

This Cosmic Bag feels amazing! Brothers, if you like it, please show your support! Whether it's a like, a comment, a vote, or a small tip, it's all love!!!

I love you all, mwah mwah!!!
