1118 Children of Destiny
Tian Xiaogui, on the other hand, chuckled foolishly when he saw Feng Wenshan’s red face.
Lu Zijia: “…” Why did she feel that Tian Xiaogui’s smile was so vulgar?
“Haha, it’s good to be young!” Zuo Wei laughed heartily.
After Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan gave their names briefly, they didn’t say anything else.
And Zuo Wei had no intention of asking further. He exchanged a few polite words with the two of them before chatting with Tian Hongcheng again.
When the two of them talked about what they saw and heard, or when something happened recently, Lu Zijia gradually became interested.
And when Zuo Wei said something about the five largest sects, she couldn’t help feeling energized.
“I went back to the sect a few days ago and learned a piece of news. The five major sects discovered a ruin almost at the same time. That ruin seems to be related to level ten experts. So, the higher-ups of the five major sects discussed together and decided that the ninth-level experts of the five major sects would explore the ruins.”
Tian Hongcheng looked shocked. “They’ve already taken action?”
“Yeah.”
Zuo Wei nodded. “But when they came back, the level-nine experts of the five largest sects were all injured. It’s said that they need at least four to five years to come out of seclusion. Our Octagon Sect doesn’t have as many experts as the other four sects to begin with. Ten years ago, we even lost three level-eight experts. Now that our sect’s ancestor is in seclusion to recuperate, our Octagon Sect is probably in even more danger.”
Tian Hongcheng said with worry in his eyes, “How’s my brother now?”
Zuo Wei shook his head. “Your brother is now one of the level-eight experts of the Octagon Sect. It’s naturally very stressful for him to resist the wild wolves outside. However, you don’t have to worry too much. As long as the other four major sects don’t join forces, the Octagon Sect won’t fall easily. Besides, your brother is so smart. He definitely won’t let the other four sects join forces.”
Hearing that, Tian Hongcheng was a bit relieved.
Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan, who were listening to their conversation, looked at each other tacitly.
The level-nine experts of the five largest sects were all injured and were cultivating in seclusion. That meant that the level-nine expert of the Dual Polarity Sect would also be cultivating in seclusion.
Both she and Ah Yan could challenge someone above their level, so they weren’t afraid of level eight Ancient Martial Artists, but they were a bit afraid of level nine experts.
Now that the level-nine expert of the Dual Polarity Sect was cultivating in seclusion, she had nothing to fear.
She didn’t believe that the level-nine expert of the Dual Polarity Sect would personally leave the sect to deal with the two of them without caring about his injuries for a sect disciple.
This way, they didn’t have to worry that Cao Fei’er would know that they were in the Upper Martial Arts Realm.
At this moment, Lu Zijia suddenly felt that even God was helping them.
Sigh, could they be the Children of Destiny?
When the two of them were almost done chatting, Lu Zijia asked Zuo Wei politely, “Senior Zuo, may I ask, why are there no pills for sale at your auction house?”
Speaking of pills, Zuo Wei seemed a bit angry. Of course, this anger wasn’t towards Lu Zijia.
“With a large-scale auction house like ours, there should naturally be pills for sale. However, the alchemists of our auction house were poached by the Yu family’s auction house half a month ago. Without alchemists, there will naturally be no pills for sale.”
In fact, if this happened a few years ago, Zuo Wei could simply ask for an alchemist from the Octagon Sect to help.
However, ever since the Octagon Sect showed signs of decline, many alchemists had been poached by other sects one after another. Now, there weren’t many alchemists left in the Octagon Sect, so it was impossible for them to request for the alchemists’ help.
