Chapter 1218: Chapter 1216: The Mysterious Bracelet! Recoil!

Ren Feifan glanced at his watch. There was still plenty of time left to save Ye Qingcheng, so there was no rush. Consequently, he and Du Jiang found a place to sit down, ready to wait for the middle-aged man to come out.

The middle-aged man, afraid that the two would suddenly leave, had two rather impressive looking attendants take special care of Ren Feifan and Du Jiang, before hurrying inside.

...

At this moment, in a garden of the Flame Auction House, a woman dressed in a green gown was playing the guzheng.

Her black hair flowed in the breeze, her slender phoenix-like eyebrows complemented a pair of calm lake-like eyes; her delicate nose, slightly flushed cheeks, and cherry-red lips begged for pity. Her perfectly-shaped face with a slightly lifted chin carried a hint of proud snow-capped mountains, while her smooth, fair skin was evocative. She had a good figure, indeed a beauty.

Her jade hands gently plucked at the strings of the guzheng, playing a song sweetly winding. The surrounding air swirled with the melody, as the music flowed like a gentle stream, as if laced with sung verses, enchanting and melodious. The garden’s flowers bloomed competitively, as if a breeze was churning the clouds, and waves were crashing upon the shore...

Just then, the middle-aged man hurried in. His eyes lifted slightly, seeing that the young lady was focused on her music. He did not wish to disturb her, but fearing that he kept the distinguished Array Master waiting too long, he clenched his teeth, stepped forward, and called out loudly, "Miss, I have urgent matters to report!"

The guzheng playing woman frowned at the noise, and her delicate hands stopped, clearly displeased.

"Do you know what happens when you interrupt my practice? If you don’t give me a very good reason, you won’t have a job at the auction house anymore."

The woman’s voice was pleasant to hear but carried a chilly undertone.

The middle-aged man was startled and even knelt on the ground, trembling as he said, "Miss, I really had no choice. Outside... there is someone here to auction an item!"

The mention of an auction made the woman’s expression worsen, and she snorted coldly, standing up.

She was well-proportioned, with a slender overall figure and attractive curves.

"You’re regressing with age. What does the auction have to do with me? Now get out!"

The middle-aged man knew the young lady was angry. A helpless look crossed his face, but knowing this was his last chance, he quickly said, "Please hear me out, Miss. The person outside has brought a bracelet for auction that can withstand the strongest strike of a master below the Wanxiang Realm! From what I understand, this person might be an Array Master not inferior to Master Yi!"

The displeasure on the woman’s face vanished, replaced by a look of suspicion as she slowly approached the middle-aged man, "Are you sure about this bracelet? Why haven’t I heard of it during my time with the Outer Hidden Sect? And where is this Array Master now?"

The middle-aged man sighed in relief as he saw the lady’s expression soften, and hurriedly replied, "My abilities are limited, so I cannot confirm its authenticity. That’s why I risked coming to you..."

The woman casually picked up a ceramic watering can and started watering some flowers before speaking indifferently, "We’ll know if it’s a horse or a mule when we take it out for a stroll. Bring him in."

"Yes!"

...

About ten minutes later, the middle-aged man hurried out again. Sweat was visible on his face. Upon seeing that Ren Feifan and Du Jiang were still there, he gently wiped the sweat from his brow, then bowed to Ren Feifan, "Honorable sirs, my mistress invites you to visit the garden..."

Ren Feifan nodded, stood up, and walked in with Du Jiang.

In his heart, he felt a twinge of suspicion, for he had heard the middle-aged man call the person "Miss." Could it be that a woman was in charge of the Flame Auction House?

Dealing with a woman might be troublesome.

They passed through a winding path in the grove before arriving at a fragrant garden.

He quickly saw a figure in green with her back turned, her face hidden from Ren Feifan.

Suddenly, the woman in green seemed to hear them and slowly turned around. When she saw Ren Feifan’s youthful appearance, she was slightly taken aback.

She had assumed that the Array Master would be an old man like Master Yi and had never expected him to be so young.

Was he really reliable?

Could it be that he deliberately boasted just to meet with her?

It was indeed a possibility, after all, although mastery of formations related to innate talent had been in question, she had never seen such a young Array Master before, so she maintained a skeptical attitude toward Ren Feifan’s identity.

Looking down on Ren Feifan from above, she asked, "Are you the Array Master who wants to auction off the Protective Bracelet?"

Ren Feifan raised an eyebrow and nodded.

"Hand over your bracelet for me to see," the woman in green ordered arrogantly.

Ren Feifan’s eyes started to turn cold, what kind of attitude was this woman showing?

He pulled out a chair and sat down, leisurely saying, "Since you want to see my bracelet, can’t you come over and take it yourself? Don’t have hands?"

"You!"

The woman in green’s complexion turned a shade of blue, utterly astonished by the young man’s temper.

She snorted coldly, turned her back, and waved her sleeve, "Fu, show the guest out!"

She couldn’t care less about some damn bracelet and certainly did not believe that such a young person could be an Array Master!

Absurd! It was simply a waste of time.

The middle-aged man had anticipated the situation would develop like this, as he had earlier noticed Ren Feifan’s stubborn streak, but the more stubborn the person, the more capable they often proved to be.

Therefore, he hurried in front of Ren Feifan, half-kneeling down, and said to Ren Feifan, "Sir, there must be some misunderstanding between you and our Miss. Please, let me take a look at the bracelet. The Miss’s cultivation is much higher than mine, and she has received some teaching from Master Yi. She will definitely be able to ascertain the uniqueness of this bracelet..."

Ren Feifan hesitated for a few seconds, then eventually handed over the Protective Bracelet to the middle-aged man.

The woman in green saw this from the corner of her eye, and her eyes grew colder. She didn’t expect her own subordinate to go against her wishes. It seemed his time in his position was up, and it was a good opportunity to infuse some new blood into the auction house!

The middle-aged man carefully presented the unassuming bracelet to the woman in green, quickly kneeling down and lifting his arms, saying, "Miss, this is the bracelet I mentioned. Please, take a look!"

"Hmph!"

The woman in green raised a cold eyebrow and cast a sideway glance at the bracelet. As she looked at its outward appearance, her disdain became even more pronounced.

This thing, a Protective Bracelet? Did she look like a fool to the Shao Family?

"I find this broken bracelet irritating. Might as well destroy it!"

The next second, she amassed a stream of True Qi in her palm and shot it directly toward the bracelet, seemingly a counterattack for Ren Feifan’s earlier disrespect.

The middle-aged man’s face turned pale as he watched the True Qi enter the bracelet and instinctively closed his eyes.

But just as the True Qi was about to touch the bracelet, an intense glow radiated out, and a red barrier suddenly formed!

The True Qi, as if it had encountered something horrifying, was instantly repelled and shot straight back toward the woman in green!

The woman in green was of high cultivation and sensed the danger. She tried to dodge, but it was too late. The True Qi entered into her body instantly!

"Pff!"

A gush of fresh blood spurted out, her complexion turning even paler!
