Chapitre 61: The Ruins (6)
"I'm sorry for bumping into you" In her depressed state, Xue Lian didn't register what they said and only followed what was ingrained (aka drilled) into her mind since young and apologize then got back up and started to leave shakily.
Xue Lian usually wouldn't be so depressed but she had stayed in Mauve Merchant City whenever she wasn't at home so she was used to eating desserts but there wasn't much confectionery in Emerald Eucommia City due to it being a city that relied on the embroidery industry.
"Peasant! Come back here!" The people from Sophist Sage Sect didn't take the exquisite clothing that she wore into consideration since beautiful clothing was plenty in this city that was full of talented tailors.
Although it was prettier than the ones that they were used to seeing around here.
Seeing that the girl wasn't replying, they resorted to force but when the disciples attacked her, they missed.
Xue Lian had sensed the danger and avoided it but had almost fallen over.
Zi Hua knew why Xue Lian was so depressed so she went across the city to get some confectioneries since the girl was only in such a state because she had come here for her sake, oblivious to the situation her friend was in.
"I apologize since it was my fault for bumping into you however, what I did was no where near the extent which I have to kneel down on all fours to apologize!" Despite her carefree attitude, as the next clan head, she had her pride, she wouldn't let others trample all over her.
"How dare you!" Currently, everyone here was from some sect due to the ruins so they just turned a blind eye to the ruckus, if they got involved they would definitely get berated by their elders.
But before anything else could take place, a feminine figure stood in front of Xue Lian, blocking the unreasonable people.
"Since when did Sophist Sage Sect become so daring, brave enough to bully my people right in front of me" A languid voice rebuked them.
Sophist Sage Sect's people toned down upon seeing the emblem on his waist, fearing that they would offend the man further.
The emblem symbolized the owner of Rarity Dew Auction House, so they knew his identity immediately.
Those that were brought here weren't some mediocre disciples, they all had a rather high position in the sect so they knew that even the previous 3 now 2 first rate powers wouldn't dare offend Rarity Dew Auction House despite it being just a commerce chain reliant organisation, at least on the surface.
"Sir, seeing that she is from Rarity Dew Auction House we will not press on that matter, however she could've hurt Senior Meng" Although they had said that they wouldn't press the matter for the sake of Rarity Dew Auction House but they were clearly doing so, were they trying to slap their own face or Rarity Dew Auction House's, haiz, some people ah.
They turned around to leave with a harrumph.
"Did I say that you could leave after causing trouble for my people!" The man coldly said.
He had never been lenient on his own people not to mention some strangers who had hurt her!
Plus her father was scary, he always had that dominating killing intent far surpassing anyone else he has met, although it was only obvious considering that he was clan head, if he found out that she had suffered even the tiniest grievances he would be in a lot of trouble but even without that fact, he would still unconditionally protect her.
He had been so surprised when her father actually suggested such an agreement.
But then again, their clan was in decline and needed to expand their branches even if it meant breeding with humans, that would be better than having their clan cut off, but they could not integrate into human society without his help.
In return, they would owe him a favor and would wholeheartedly complete it as long it was in their means.
A favor from the mighty Ice Forest Qilin clan was priceless.
