"What's wrong?"
Noticing the change in Xiao Yan's expression, Jin Yao frowned slightly, slowly loosened her grip on Xiao Yan's arm, and looked at him with a hint of confusion on Xiao Yan pretty face.
She could clearly sense that a surge of anger was rapidly rising within Xiao Yan, causing his aura to fluctuate. It seemed that something had happened to anger him.
For Xiao Yan, who is usually calm and composed, to show such an expression, the matter must be significant.
Jin Yao eyes darted around, and in the blink of an eye, she thought of Murong Qianqian.
After they went up to the second floor, Murong Qianqian went elsewhere on her own and did not follow them. It is very likely that Xiao Yan's sudden anger is related to her.
"That girl's in trouble again."
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint in them, and with a swift movement, he was about to dash towards Murong Qianqian's current location.
"Wait, I'll go too. There are quite a few people in Yan City who will recognize you. If you just rush over there rashly, it probably won't be a good thing."
Just as Xiao Yan was about to set off, Jin Yao spoke up in a solemn tone.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan paused, pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily and clasped his hands in thanks to Jin Yao:
"Thank you!"
"Hehe, Xiao Yan, you don't need to be so polite. Sharing your brother's burdens is simply an older sister's duty, hehehehe..."
Upon hearing Jin Yao's words, Xiao Yan's angry face instantly turned somewhat embarrassed. He inwardly grimaced, then set off with Jin Yao, quickly heading towards where Murong Qianqian was.
"Hmph, I took a liking to this bracelet first, what right do you have to take it!"
"Tch, why should I? Because my price is higher than yours!"
But I bought this first!
"In front of me, there's no such thing as first come, first served. The highest bidder wins. If you've got the guts, then bring out more Spirit Coin!"
"You..."
"Since you don't have the money to buy it, then get out of the Thousand Medicine Pavilion right now! This isn't a place for a brat like you! You're just getting in my way!"
Inside a separate hall filled with all sorts of jewelry, a group of people were gathered in a circle, their eyes fixed on the two girls in the room. At the same time, whispers were quietly spreading among them.
"Who says I can't afford it? It's just that my money has always been kept by my subordinates!"
Murong Qianqian eyes widened, her beautiful gaze fixed on the girl in front of her, a similarly beautiful girl of the same age, with a deep anger emanating from them.
Originally, she had her eye on a bracelet first and was about to buy it with Spirit Coin when, unexpectedly, the girl in front of her overtook her, snatched it from her hand, and casually paid the price. The most crucial point was that the girl's offer was so high that even all of Murong Qianqian's current wealth could not match it. This made her feel both resentful and somewhat angry.
What Murong Qianqian found even more intolerable was that after snatching the items, the girl arrogantly insulted her. This was something Murong Qianqian Murong Qianqian, who never respected anyone, could not tolerate, and she immediately started arguing with the girl.
Thinking of this, Murong Qianqian complained even more about Xiao Yan. If Xiao Yan hadn't been away, with his financial resources, acquiring the bracelet would have been no problem at all.
In her anger, the girl immediately referred to Xiao Yan as her servant. The fierce look on her face made the petite young woman in front of her take two steps back.
"Hmph! You brat, you say your money is in your servant's hands, so where is he?"
Taking two steps back, the girl's pretty face showed a hint of unwillingness. Her sharp and domineering eyes swept over everyone present, and anyone who met her gaze couldn't help but look away.
Although the girl in front of them wasn't particularly strong, her identity was enough to make most people present wary.
After glancing around, the girl saw that no one stood up for Murong Qianqian, and a smug sneer immediately appeared on her pretty face. Then she looked at Murong Qianqian again and said coldly:
"You brat, you don't even have the money to buy this bracelet, yet you tried to make excuses. Now that I've seen through you, you still have the nerve to stand here! Get out of here!"
The girl strode up to Murong Qianqian, hurled a string of cold insults at her, and then retreated. At the same time, she proudly waved the bracelet she was wearing on her wrist at Murong Qianqian, a provocative smirk playing on her red lips. Then, she turned to leave.
"Hateful!"
Seeing the girl's appearance, Murong Qianqian was immediately filled with anger. She twisted her body and rushed towards the girl, trying to snatch the bracelet back.
"Hmph, where did this little brat come from? Does she have absolutely no manners? She tries to steal what she can't have! She's truly uneducated and undisciplined. Today, I, as her elder, will teach her a lesson!"
However, just as Murong Qianqian's delicate body twisted forward, a hoarse voice containing terrifying pressure suddenly came from inside the next room.
At the same time, an invisible, terrifying soul pressure swiftly swept in, carrying an immense and boundless powerful aura, overwhelming Murong Qianqian in the arena.
Sensing the terrifying soul pressure emanating from her, Murong Qianqian's pretty face quickly turned pale. Just from this soul pressure alone, one could tell that the strength of this newcomer was extraordinary.
" Xiao Yan..."
As the soul pressure descended, Murong Qianqian couldn't help but close her eyes. A look of fear appeared on her slightly pale face. At this moment, the first person she thought of was not her family, but the black-robed man who she usually disliked but also had complicated feelings about.
Ultimately, Murong Qianqian was just a girl. Despite possessing the cultivation of Half-Emperor, one shouldn't forget that in the Western Region, where hidden talents abound, even Half-Emperor are just commonplace. Under the pressure of this soul force, Murong Qianqian would inevitably reveal the girlish emotions deep within her heart.
A terrifying pressure of the soul swept over everyone present like a horse's hoof, and then descended upon Murong Qianqian's head. The terrifying aura caused the void to tremble. Then, with a vast momentum, it pressed down hard on Murong Qianqian's head!
However, just when everyone thought that the terrifying soul pressure was about to fall on the charming Murong Qianqian, an extremely domineering aura suddenly came from outside the hall, and in an instant, it forcefully dispersed the soul pressure with overwhelming force.
The next moment, as everyone came to their senses, a domineering voice filled with anger resounded from outside the next room.
"You old codger, you think you can teach her a lesson? You think you're worthy?!"
