She Long arrived at the burning village and saw raging fire burning continuously, with extremely thick black smoke rising into the sky.
Looking at the ever-burning fire, She Long frowned slightly. The temperature of this fire was extremely high. It was not an ordinary fire at all, but a fire-attribute fire released by his Martial Soul.
"What kind of grudge could lead someone to set fire to an ordinary person's village?" She Long muttered to himself, then released his Mental Power to scan the village.
After scanning the village three times and confirming that there were no living people in it, She Long turned and left, taking the children who had run back with him, heading towards the direction of Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue.
Sitting by the stream, Ye Tong slowly reeled in his fishing rod. He glanced at the few fish he had caught and asked softly, "Xue'er, do you want some fish soup? If you do, we'll keep two. If not, I'll release them."
Qian Renxue looked at the fish, gently shook her head, and said, "I won't drink it. But since you're going to release it, why bother fishing?"
Jun Xuehan released the fish she had caught back into the stream in front of her, smiled nonchalantly, and said, "I caught them to make fish soup for you, but you don't want to drink it, which means you don't need it. Since you don't need it, what's wrong with releasing it?"
Qian Renxue her eyes at him and didn't say anything. Instead, she quietly watched the babbling brook in front of her.
Just then, She Long returned with several children and said, "Young Master, Young Master, their village has been burned down by a raging fire. There are no survivors in the village, only these children who were playing by the river."
"Moreover, the flames that burned the village were not ordinary flames, but flames released by Soul Master with a fire-attribute Martial Soul."
Jun Xuehan slowly raised her head, looked at She Long, and frowned slightly. She said, "That Soul Master, would he be so heartless as to burn someone down for no reason? In an ordinary village, unless..."
Jun Xuehan didn't finish her sentence. Instead, she and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance, their eyes showing understanding.
She Long seemed to have thought of something, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. He then asked, "Young Master, what should we do with these children?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Xuehan slowly stood up and said, "Send them to the Wind Snow Pavilion and Wind Snow Pavilion. We don't need these few mouths to feed. After they Awakening Martial Soul, those who can become Soul Master can stay in the Wind and Wind Snow Pavilion."
"Those who cannot become Soul Master, let them choose for themselves after they are able to support themselves. Those who want to stay can stay in the Wind Snow Pavilion's businesses as staff. Those who do not want to stay will be given some Gold Soul Coin so that they can support themselves."
After saying this, Jun Xuehan glanced at the children and then walked towards Heaven Dou City with Qian Renxue.
After agreeing, She Long waved and led the children toward the direction of the Wind Snow Pavilion.
After glancing at the children, Qian Renxue simply smiled indifferently. Wind Snow Pavilion was now a large and powerful organization, and it didn't really need a few more mouths to feed. Especially after annexing all the Affiliated Sects of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it was no weaker than any other sect in terms of power or foundation.
"Xuehan, there's an auction at the Heaven Dou Auction House. Shall we go take a look? Maybe we'll find something interesting," Qian Renxue asked softly.
"If you'd like to see the auction, we can go take a look," Jun Xuehan said with a nonchalant smile.
Back in Heaven Dou City, walking along the bustling streets, Qian Renxue paused as she passed Shrek Academy, her gaze drifting towards the Shrek Academy.
"What's wrong, Xue'er?" Jun Xuehan asked, looking at Qian Renxue's expression.
"I feel an uncomfortable atmosphere in this academy. The last time I felt this way was in Fengning Village," Qian Renxue said softly, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Fengning Village, Evil Soul Masters?" Jun Xuehan glanced in the direction of the Shrek Academy, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"Xue'er, don't worry about this. I'll go inside and investigate." Jun Xuehan put his arm around Qian Renxue's shoulder and walked towards the Heaven Dou Auction House.
I've been a bit busy lately and almost forgot about the Shrek Academy. Regardless of whether there are any Evil Soul Masters there, it's time to deal with Yu Xiaogang's matter.
Back in Spirit City, if Bibi Dong hadn't held him back, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't be alive today. Thinking this, Jun Xuehan glanced towards the Shrek Academy, a fleeting killing intent flashing in her eyes.
Upon arriving at the Heaven Dou Auction House, the staff standing at the Auction House gave each guest a mask.
This is to protect the privacy and safety of guests once they enter the Auction House. Of course, if one is wealthy enough not to be robbed after leaving the Auction House, they can choose not to wear it.
After Qian Renxue accepted the mask from the staff, she put it on her face, while Jun Xuehan did not accept the mask offered by the staff.
Currently, in the entire Heaven Dou City, the only one who can rival Jun Xuehan is that old dragon from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Moreover, due to his Martial Soul, Jun Xuehan would find it much easier to defeat that old dragon than Sword Dao Chen Xin.
It's already a blessing that he doesn't steal from others. If someone tries to take something from him, isn't that like an old man eating poison and courting death?
Upon entering the Auction House, Jun Xuehan noticed that the Auction House was arranged in a radial, circular pattern, with rows of seats surrounding a central circular altar.
Furthermore, the seating area is divided into five sections, each distinguished by five different colors: red, black, purple, yellow, and white.
Only those with a million Gold Soul Coin and a certain status and position can sit in the red zone.
The black area is the regular VIP Area; anyone with one million Gold Soul Coin can take a seat.
The purple area requires 500,000 Gold Soul Coin to sit down. The yellow area requires 100,000 Gold Soul Coin. The white area, the outermost and largest area, is where ordinary guests are seated.
Jun Xuehan, as the newly appointed sect leader of the Upper Three Sects, led Qian Renxue to sit down in the red area of Auction House.
The two had barely sat down when a pretty, stylishly dressed staff member approached them with a professional smile. In her hands was an exquisitely designed tray with a pot of tea and several teacups on it.
