Chapter 84

At this moment, Su Xishuang also looked at Chu Yan with tension. She naturally understood why Chu Yan was so persistent, so she looked at him with a hint of pleading and shook her head.

Chu Yan saw this, but he was not moved and continued to bid.

"Kid, are you deliberately opposing me? This sword is only worth fifty second-grade spirit stones. If you give up the bidding, I'll have someone forge a mystic weapon for you for free, how about that?" Wu Meng stared at Chu Yan and said.

"No need!" Chu Yan shook his head. Mystic weapon? He, Chu Yan, never lacked them.

"Are you sure you want to end up in a lose-lose situation with me? Is it worth it?"

"This sword, my sister likes. No matter how many spirit stones, it's worth it!" Chu Yan said, word by word. Wu Meng felt a chill in his heart. He finally sighed and put down the bidding paddle, no longer competing with Chu Yan.

At this moment, Su Xishuang was moved. She naturally knew who Chu Yan's sister was. That one sentence, "it's worth it," was more touching than any sweet words.

"Is there anyone else who wants to bid?" Shao Tong looked at Chu Yan helplessly.

"Who would bid? Eighty second-grade spirit stones, with good luck, you could buy two such swords. I'll go check out other exhibits." Everyone left wisely, and then Shao Tong took down the Mystic Ice Sword and presented it to Chu Yan in front of everyone.

Seeing this, many people were envious, but more were curious about whether Chu Yan actually had those eighty second-grade spirit stones. Chu Yan's next words made everyone sweat.

"I don't have the spirit stones, can I owe them?"

Everyone's eyes widened. Owe them? Owe the Heaven's Wrath? Was he crazy? Wu Meng even laughed evilly: "Heh, kid, you're really asking for it, daring to mess around in Heaven's Wrath?"

Heaven's Wrath, this massive auction organization, spread across many places in the Inner Circle. The reason it could stand firm was simple: behind Heaven's Wrath was a powerful force. Only a few people knew what that force was, but one thing everyone knew was that anyone who dared to provoke Heaven's Wrath would face catastrophic consequences.

This was why the war between the four gangs in Tongtian City didn't dare to spread to Heaven's Wrath. Everyone was very wary of this place.

So Wu Meng was already overjoyed, looking at Chu Yan as if he were a dead man. Daring to be a deadbeat in Heaven's Wrath? No one had ever survived.

Unfortunately, Shao Tong did not get angry. Instead, he smiled politely at Chu Yan, took out eighty second-grade spirit stones, and said with a smile: "No need. I'll cover these eighty spirit stones for you. How about you treat me to a drink another day?"

"Sure, bring Qiu Yu along too." Chu Yan smiled calmly. Everyone's eyes widened. What was going on?

Shao Tong covered eighty second-grade spirit stones for Chu Yan? Just for a drink? And Chu Yan even called Qiu Yu "that kid"?

The legendary young man of Heaven's Wrath, who came to Tongtian City ten years ago, dominated the city, suppressing the four gangs and founding Heaven's Wrath. For ten years, the four gangs fought continuously, but no one dared to touch Heaven's Wrath. The reason was simple: the young man named Qiu Yu. But now, the mysterious figure, who was rarely seen, was casually mentioned by Chu Yan?

Everyone was stunned, guessing Chu Yan's identity. Wu Meng felt a burning sensation on his face, as if he had been slapped hard, and took a step forward.

"Step back!" Shao Tong said calmly, but with a hint of authority: "If you take another step, the Xuanwu Gang won't exist in Tongtian City tomorrow."

Wu Meng's body stiffened, but he didn't dare to take another step. The wrath of Heaven's Wrath... was something his Xuanwu Gang couldn't bear.

Shao Baiyu also looked at Chu Yan strangely and laughed meaningfully. He only knew that Chu Yan was backed by the Wilderness, but he didn't expect that he had such a deep connection with Heaven's Wrath?

Ye Xun also looked at Chu Yan curiously: "You've been hiding a lot. When we talked about Heaven's Wrath before, you always avoided the topic. Now it makes sense, you knew all along?"

"Feeling pretty cool now, huh?"

"How do you know each other?" Ye Xun rolled his eyes at Chu Yan.

"The force behind Heaven's Wrath is the Eastern Alliance." Chu Yan had nothing to hide from Ye Xun, so he directly revealed the reason.

"That makes sense." Ye Xun was enlightened. Everything made sense now. The Empress of the Eastern Alliance was a monstrous existence, and Chu Yan was Qin Zixuan's brother. Saying that Heaven's Wrath belonged to Chu Yan wasn't an exaggeration.

The auction of the Mystic Ice Sword ended, and everyone sighed. Everything that just happened was too shocking, but they were here for the auction. Although they didn't get the Mystic Ice Sword, there were other items, and they didn't want to miss out, so they dispersed.

Wu Meng glared at Chu Yan and left with the Xuanwu Gang, feeling humiliated but not really losing anything, just losing face.

Looking at Wu Meng, Shao Baiyu grinned: "Wu Meng was really mad at you today."

Chu Yan smiled and then looked at Shao Tong: "Arrange a drink for everyone tonight. I have something to do."

"Sure, see you tonight."

Next, Chu Yan went to the Ice River Sect. As he approached, several elders of the Ice River Sect immediately stepped forward to block him, but Yun Long immediately said: "Let him come over."

The elders of the Ice River Sect stepped back, and Chu Yan walked directly to Yun Long and Su Xishuang. He didn't even look at Yun Long and handed the Mystic Ice Sword to Su Xishuang: "Sis, it's for you."

Su Xishuang was moved but gave Chu Yan a slightly helpless look: "You little rascal, this Mystic Ice Sword isn't worth eighty second-grade spirit stones."

"If you like it, it's worth it." Those words again, Su Xishuang's heart trembled slightly, and she finally put the Mystic Ice Sword away, unable to let it go.

"Master Chu, I've heard a lot about you. I didn't expect to meet you today." Yun Long gently hugged Su Xishuang and said to Chu Yan with a smile.

"Take your dirty hands off her." Chu Yan's eyes turned cold, and his tone became unfriendly. Yun Long was taken aback but calmly let go of Su Xishuang and smiled: "Master Chu, is there some misunderstanding between us? Xishuang will be my wife eventually."

"Before you marry, you're nothing." Chu Yan said, then looked at Su Xishuang: "Sis, come out. I need to talk to you alone."

"I..." Su Xishuang looked at Yun Long, who nodded with a smile. He had been gentlemanly the whole time, but his smile disappeared as Chu Yan left.

"Prince, this Chu Yan seems younger than we thought." An old man beside Yun Long said calmly.

Yun Long didn't speak, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes: "After the Wilderness? Hah, do you really think you're invincible? Have you heard from Chiyue Gongzi?"

"Yes, there will definitely be a big move within a year." The old man continued.

"Good! Also, arrange our wedding. I want to marry her as soon as possible. The secrets of Changlong must be mine." Yun Long said no more.

On the other side, Su Xishuang followed Chu Yan to a deserted place. Chu Yan then said sternly: "Why did you lie to me?"

Su Xishuang looked at Chu Yan with委屈 (grievance). She naturally knew that the lie Chu Yan referred to was about the incident in Tianyong City: "Hey, I'm still your sister. Do you have to be so harsh on me?"

"Do you even remember that you're my sister?" Chu Yan glared at Su Xishuang, then sighed, his gaze softening. He cupped Su Xishuang's face and said softly: "Such an important matter, why didn't you tell me? What's really going on? Did Su Hao really use you as a sacrifice to protect Changlong?"

"Chu Yan, listen to me. This isn't Father's fault. I made the decision myself. Actually, Yun Long is a good person and treats me well. I could join the Ice River Sect this time thanks to him. My status in the Ice River Sect is quite high now. Don't worry."

"Really?" Chu Yan looked at Su Xishuang suspiciously.

"Of course, do you think I'm stupid? With a brother from the Wilderness, who would dare to force me? If I didn't agree, I would just ask for your help. Would you ignore me?"

Chu Yan was silent. Indeed, he couldn't understand why Su Xishuang didn't ask him for help with such a big matter. If she had, he would have definitely helped. But if Yun Long really treated her well, his attitude just now was a bit too harsh.

But Chu Yan didn't say more. If Yun Long really loved Su Xishuang, he wouldn't be angry. If he didn't love her, he wouldn't have agreed to the marriage. In any case, he would see.

"Is your wedding date set?"

"Not yet, but it should be soon."

"If I hadn't come to Tongtian City by chance, were you planning not to invite me to your wedding?" Chu Yan said unhappily.

Su Xishuang's expression darkened, but she quickly shook her head and rubbed Chu Yan's head: "Of course not. For my wedding, my brother must come and be by my side."

"Sis, when the wedding date is set, tell me. Your wedding must be grand. If Yun Long dares to mistreat you or be unfaithful, I'll make him pay with his life." Chu Yan said seriously. Su Xishuang, you must be happy for the rest of your life.

"Got it, silly boy." Su Xishuang's eyes were full of tenderness as she rubbed Chu Yan's head. They then returned to Heaven's Wrath.

But looking at Chu Yan's back, Su Xishuang's heart ached. She thought to herself: "Chu Yan, I'm sorry! Don't blame me for lying. I can't harm you! For you, for Muyan, I can give up everything. As long as you two are safe, I can do anything. I was too naive before, thinking that with you, Changlong could be protected, but it's not true! I hope... you won't get involved in this mess!"

"And! You must work hard to become stronger and grow up quickly! I'm always waiting for the day you shine in the world."
