Chapter 778 - 778: Wordless Scroll
Hei Yue lifted a paw and pointed towards the back left.
Li Qianfan, Liu Ruyan, and Jiang WanYun all looked in the direction Hei Yue was pointing.
They saw a woman in a white dress sitting near a corner.
The woman seemed to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with a very fair and smooth complexion, and her expression was one of pride.
But that was not the main point—the main point was her outfit!
Her hairstyle was that of an ancient bun, exuding a classical beauty, and the long white dress she wore was not in a modern style, resembling traditional Han clothing!
However, the shoes on her feet were white high heels, and Li Qianfan even noticed she had white stockings wrapped around her legs.
This fusion of modern and ancient, although unorthodox, possessed a heart-stopping beauty!
“Is it her?” Li Qianfan whispered.
“Yes, it’s her,” Hei Yue nodded.
Then Hei Yue said, “When the first auction item was presented on stage, a faint wave of True Qi emanated from this woman.”
“How come we didn’t notice it?” Li Qianfan said.
Liu Ruyan softly spoke, “Spiritual Beasts are more sensitive to True Qi and nature’s spiritual energy fluctuations than we cultivators of the Human Race, so it’s not strange that Hei Yue noticed but we did not.”
“Oh, I see,” Li Qianfan said.
Jiang WanYun frowned and said, “I have never seen this female cultivator before, she definitely has no connection with the Cultivator Administration Bureau… Hei Yue, can you tell what her cultivation realm is?”
“I cannot tell,” Hei Yue shook its head.
Jiang WanYun took another glance at the woman in white, but to her surprise, the woman turned her head and looked over in their direction.
So Jiang WanYun quickly turned away, no longer staring at her.
It was at this moment that Li Qianfan suddenly remembered something—the Green Wolf Gang’s second-in-command, Ma Zi, was injured by a woman in white at the antique market!
Ma Zi was a cultivator, and the woman in white was able to injure him, moreover, she defeated him in just a few exchanges, which was enough to indicate that the woman in white who injured Ma Zi was very strong, probably in the late stage of the Qi Cultivation Realm or even at the peak!
Could it be that this female cultivator dressed in white Han clothing and wearing high heels and white silk is the same woman who injured Ma Zi at the antique market?
Li Qianfan thought of this and took out his phone to call Ma Zi.
But unexpectedly, just as the call connected, a series of moaning and groaning from a woman came through the phone.
“Brother Ma, be gentle… I… I’m going to die… Ah ah… Slower… Don’t be so rough…”
Liu Ruyan and Jiang WanYun both cast dissatisfied glances at Li Qianfan, and Hei Yue muttered softly, “Pervert.”
“I’m not watching anything inappropriate, I’m making a call,” Li Qianfan said with an innocent face.
At that moment, the breathless voice of Ma Zi finally came through the phone, “Who is it? It’s late at night, can’t you let me be?”
“It’s me, Li Qianfan,” Li Qianfan said irritably.
In a luxurious hotel room, Ma Zi, who was energetically engaged atop a woman, suddenly turned pale.
He hurriedly covered the woman’s mouth to stop her sounds, then chuckled awkwardly, “It’s Mr. Li, I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention just now…”
Li Qianfan was not in the mood for small talk with Ma Zi, and asked directly, “Ma Zi, the woman who injured you at the antique market, do you remember what she looked like?”
“It’s been so many days, I’ve forgotten, I can’t remember clearly,” Ma Zi said.
“What was she wearing at the time? You must remember that,” Li Qianfan said again.
“I only remember she was wearing a white dress…”
“Was it Hanfu? Like the kind you often see in period TV dramas?”
Upon Li Qianfan’s words, Ma Zi let out a long ‘oh’, and quickly said: “Yes, yes, exactly that kind of clothing, Mr. Li, how did you know?”
“Alright, that’s all from you.”
Li Qianfan hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
In the hotel suite, Ma Zi looked at his phone, his face full of confusion.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter.
The important business comes first.
So, Ma Zi put down the phone and once again commenced his vigorous pursuit over this woman’s body, eliciting continuous delicate cries from her.
Although Ma Zi’s assets were incomparable to Li Qianfan’s, he was still a Martial Artist, naturally valiant in an extraordinary way, and this woman was no match for him, quickly passing between life and death under his onslaught.
Meanwhile, at the auction, a sly smile already played on Li Qianfan’s lips.
“I didn’t expect to encounter her here,” Li Qianfan said.
“Qianfan, do you know her?” Liu Ruyan asked curiously.
Li Qianfan shook his head and then explained: “The Green Wolf Gang’s second in command, Ma Zi, is also a cultivator, but his strength is quite poor, merely the second level of the Qi Refining Realm. He had a dispute with a woman in white over a Jade Fragment at the antique market some time ago, and within a few exchanges, he was severely injured by the woman.”
“Had I not stepped in to heal him, Ma Zi would have become crippled if not dead, bound to the bed for life.”
“I was quite interested in that woman in white at the time, wanting to find her. However, Ma Zi couldn’t provide any clues, so I had no way to locate her. But now, I’m certain that the woman wearing Hanfu along with high heels and white stockings is the mysterious female cultivator who injured Ma Zi!”
Hearing Li Qianfan’s words, Jiang WanYun and Liu Ruyan suddenly understood.
But then Liu Ruyan said with a meaningful tone: “You’ve observed quite minutely, had you not mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed her wearing high heels and stockings.”
“The details are spot on,” Jiang WanYun also said.
Li Qianfan’s expression immediately became quite embarrassed.
Fortunately, Liu Ruyan and Jiang WanYun did not pursue the matter further, and he finally dodged a bullet.
Hei Yue asked, “Are you planning to investigate that woman?”
“Yes, after the auction ends, I’ll follow her; I might be able to investigate her identity,” Li Qianfan nodded and said.
“I can help you,” Hei Yue said excitedly.
“You’re so kind-hearted?” Li Qianfan asked.
“How could I miss such an interesting and exciting matter?” Hei Yue said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Liu Ruyan cautioned: “Hei Yue, you should take it easy. Although you are a Spiritual Beast, your strength at most equals that of an early-stage Qi Refining Realm cultivator; any cultivator could easily defeat you.”
“I’m just helping to track, I won’t get involved in fighting,” Hei Yue said.
Unbeknownst to them, more than an hour passed, and the eleventh auction item was presented on stage.
Li Qianfan was still whispering with Liu Ruyan, Jiang WanYun, and Hei Yue, but suddenly he sensed something, and abruptly lifted his gaze towards the item on the auction stage.
