Yafu naturally understood that Ye Ningshuang was mocking her, but she didn't feel embarrassed. She still smiled and said, "I was indeed rude just now. Please forgive me, Miss Ye. After all, this is the first time I've seen such a handsome man as you."
Ye Ningshuang raised an eyebrow, her expression surprised.
It must be said that Yafu truly lives up to her status as the young lady of the Jiade Auction. She can remain calm and composed in the face of any situation, providing explanations with composure. This clearly demonstrates her extensive experience in dealing with many people.
Since Yafu had already given her explanation, Ye Ningshuang couldn't say anything more. At the same time, she expressed her understanding of Yafu, because she had been the same way when she first met Su Chen. As for why she had just made sarcastic remarks to Yafu, it was probably because she was jealous.
You can't blame her for being petty. Put yourself in her shoes: if a man keeps staring at his fiancée, which fiancé wouldn't be jealous and angry?
Su Chen then asked, " Miss Yafu, could you please tell me the origin of this animal hide?"
Yafu looked at Su Chen and smiled, "Of course."
Su Chen said, "Please sit down."
Yafu didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly, then said, "This animal hide is a map of the Forbidden Land of Death."
" Forbidden Land of Death "?
Upon hearing this, Ye Ningshuang's pupils suddenly contracted. Judging from her expression, she seemed to know this place.
Su Chen glanced at Ye Ningshuang, then looked back at Yafu, "Could you tell me about this place?"
Yafu was taken aback. "Young Master doesn't know?"
Su Chen shook his head and said, "I was only focused on cultivation before, so I didn't know about these things."
[Do you even believe what you're saying? I've never seen you practice any cultivation techniques.]
The system suddenly said, its tone utterly speechless.
Su Chen remained calm and composed, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"I see."
Yafu suddenly understood, and then explained, " The Forbidden Land of Death is called the Forbidden Land of Death because anyone who enters will only meet one fate: death. Even Immortal Emperor would face the same fate. That's why it's called the Forbidden Land of Death."
Ye Ningshuang frowned and said coldly, " Miss Yafu, since you know the dangers of the Forbidden Land of Death, why are you still auctioning off this animal hide? Are you trying to send us to our deaths?"
Yafu replied, " Miss Ye may not know, but someone recently escaped safely from the Forbidden Land of Death."
Ye Ningshuang decisively shook her head in denial, "Impossible! That's Forbidden Land of Death. Even Immortal Emperor can't come out safely once they go in. How could anyone possibly walk out of it safely?"
Yafu smiled and said, "That's indeed the case. I have no reason to lie to Miss Ye."
Ye Ningshuang frowned, still not quite believing it.
Yafu continued, "Actually, it's normal for Miss Ye not to believe it. If our people hadn't also come out safely, I wouldn't believe it either."
Ye Ningshuang asked with a puzzled expression, "What do you mean?"
Yafu said, "The person who came out of the Forbidden Land of Death personally led our people from the Jiade Auction into the Forbidden Land of Death. Under his guidance, our people actually did not encounter any danger inside."
Ye Ningshuang fell into deep thought.
Yafu continued, "That person led our people to a treasure left behind by a Immortal Emperor from tens of millions of years ago. The Immortal Emperor left a message saying that if he did not come out, these treasures would belong to a destined person, and among them was his inheritance."
Ye Ningshuang asked in confusion, "If that's the case, why doesn't your Jiade Auction keep these treasures and heirlooms for your own use, but instead puts them up for auction?"
Yafu calmly replied, "Because that senior set up an array and restrictions, we can't open it."
Ye Ningshuang frowned and said, "Even the people at Jiade Auction can't open it, how can you expect us to be able to?"
Yafu said calmly, "What we're auctioning is the treasure's location and safe route. Whether you can break through the formations and restrictions to obtain the treasure is none of our business."
Ye Ningshuang said in a deep voice, "You're ripping us off."
Yafu smiled and said, "How can you say I'm cheating people? During the auction, I never said I was guaranteed to get those treasures."
Anger flashed in Ye Ningshuang's eyes, but she remained silent.
At this moment, Su Chen suddenly said, "Alright, if there's nothing else, Miss Yafu, you may leave."
Yafu looked at Su Chen, her eyes slightly surprised. She noticed that Su Chen was very calm and didn't seem to care about what she had just said.
This is strange. Logically speaking, spending ten million top-grade immortal crystals to buy a useless treasure map should make him very angry, but Su Chen is so calm.
There are two reasons: either Su Chen is confident that he can open the restriction and formation, or Su Chen is too rich and doesn't care about 10 million top-grade immortal crystals.
Even if you're incredibly wealthy, spending ten million top-grade immortal crystals at once would still sting, especially since it's just for a useless animal hide map.
Yafu frowned, lost in thought.
Could it be that he has a way to break the restrictions and formations?
Impossible, right?
My father consulted the most skilled array master; how could he possibly break this?
Yafu's eyes gleamed, as if she were struggling with a decision.
What she didn't know was that Su Chen truly didn't care about ten million top-grade immortal crystals.
Su Chen said, " Miss Yafu, aren't you leaving yet? Oh, is it because I haven't paid yet?"
After saying that, he took out a spatial ring from his System Space. "There are ten million top-grade immortal crystals in here. Keep them safe."
Yafu accepted the spatial ring and fell silent.
She wanted to take a gamble.
Su Chen calmly asked, "Is there anything else, Miss Yafu?"
Yafu looked up at Su Chen, took a deep breath, and then asked, "Does Young Master know a way to break the restrictions and formations?"
Ye Ningshuang was taken aback.
Su Chen said calmly, "So what if I know? So what if I don't? This has nothing to do with Miss Yafu, does it?"
Yafu said earnestly, "If you have a way to break the restrictions and formations, I will return these ten million top-grade immortal crystals to you, but on the condition that you take me with you."
Su Chen was about to refuse.
Ye Ningshuang suddenly took the spatial ring from Yafu's hand.
Su Chen and Yafu were both taken aback.
Ye Ningshuang said, "I agreed on his behalf, but if he ultimately fails to break the restrictions and formations, you can't blame us."
Yafu frowned, remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded, saying, "Okay."
She decided to take a gamble!
Even if Su Chen fails to break the formation and restrictions in the end, it's nothing; he'll only lose ten million top-grade immortal crystals.
But if Su Chen can crack it, then she'll have made a huge profit!
After all, the treasures and legacy left behind by a Immortal Emperor are far more valuable than ten million top-grade Celestial Crystals.
Yafu asked, "When are you planning to leave?"
Ye Ningshuang blinked and looked at Su Chen.
Su Chen said calmly, "Let's do it first thing tomorrow morning."
Yafu nodded and said, "Alright, let's meet outside the city first thing tomorrow morning. I have some things to take care of, so I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."
She looked at Xiaoman, who was standing to the side in a daze, and said, "Let's go."
Xiaoman snapped out of her daze, nodded, and followed Yafu out of the private room, her eyes still filled with reluctance towards Su Chen. She had been staring at Su Chen the whole time, and hadn't heard a word of what the three of them were talking about.
