Feng Yuqin was still pondering over Mo Xuanye's words and the matter that the after - effect of that secret technique might turn one into a vampire.
Suddenly hearing Mo Xuanye's words, she immediately asked, "What's the matter?"
"The demons may be trying to annex the Phoenix Clan," Mo Xuanye said, his tone becoming extremely solemn.
Feng Yuqin was even more puzzled. "Why? If the demons want to invade, isn't it better for them to target the realms? Why come to the mainland?"
She remembered that when she first arrived at Manduo Valley, she learned from Chu You and the others that the demons looked down on the mainland because the spiritual energy here was too scarce.
So shouldn't the demons go to the realms instead?
"Maybe there are other factors," Mo Xuanye said. "Qin'er, don't provoke Mu Weizhu for now."
"Are you worried that the demon beside her will harm me?" Feng Yuqin immediately understood and asked.
"The fact that this demon appears here means there must be more than just him," Mo Xuanye said uneasily. "Qin'er, I know your memory tells you that you're from the Phoenix Clan, but you're also the master of the Desolate City now."
Feng Yuqin knew that Mo Xuanye was worried that she might act impulsively to learn about the Phoenix Clan because of her identity and thus provoke the demons.
Previously, she had heard from Mo Xuanye that many demons were not very powerful in terms of strength but were good at using devious means.
This was also the reason why many people were reluctant to accept demons. In everyone's eyes, demons preferred devious ways rather than the right path, and the things they did were quite cruel.
The demon here was very likely to be such a person. Mo Xuanye didn't want Qin'er to face such a demon now.
"Don't be so nervous. I don't plan to look for her for the time being," Feng Yuqin said. After learning that there was a demon beside Mu Weizhu and that her resurrection was related to the demons, she became even more cautious.
"Okay. First, check if there are black lines on the back of her neck," Mo Xuanye said. "She's only been resurrected for a few years. The black lines must have already formed. It's just a matter of how dark they are."
Feng Yuqin said, "I'll try."
The demon had detected Xiaoying's spiritual sense. She didn't know if her own spiritual sense would be detected.
After Mo Xuanye ended the call with Feng Yuqin, Feng Yi said beside him, "My lord, are the demons really coming to the mainland?"
"Not the same group that came after me," Mo Xuanye said. "But go and check if there are any other demons in other forces besides the one from the Phoenix Clan."
Mo Xuanye was perceptive. He felt that besides this demon, there might be others in other places. However, it was difficult for ordinary people to tell.
For example, if it weren't for Xiaoying's powerful spiritual sense, which could only be blocked by a demon's action, Xiaoying wouldn't have discovered this demon.
Of course, this was for ordinary people. Mo Xuanye himself was a demon. He naturally had a way to tell if someone was a demon.
After receiving the order, Feng Yi immediately went to check for demons on the Desolate Dragon Continent.
After Feng Yuqin ended the call with Mo Xuanye, she focused her attention on the auction.
Nong He Kui returned, followed by Xie Chen.
Xie Chen was holding a large tray with all kinds of fruits, pastries, and a set of tea on it.
"Mrs. Mo, I've arranged all these for you. If you need anything, just let me know," Nong He Kui said with a smile.
Hearing this, Feng Yuqin was not polite and said, "I'd like to know about the major forces that have come today. I wonder if you could arrange someone to tell me about them?"
"Of course," Nong He Kui said. Immediately, Xie Chen beside him volunteered, "Uncle Long, Mrs. Mo, do you think I'm suitable?"
Feng Yuqin's gaze fell on Nong He Kui.
Nong He Kui immediately said to Feng Yuqin, "Mrs. Mo, Xie Chen has grown up in the Western Region since he was a child. He's quite familiar with the forces there. If you don't mind, let him explain these forces to you, okay?"
"I don't mind," Feng Yuqin said. She knew that Nong He Kui wanted to be on good terms with her, so he wouldn't introduce an unreliable person to her.
"Thank you, Mrs. Mo. Thank you, Uncle Nong," Xie Chen grinned like a fool.
At this moment, Feng Yuqin had an inexplicable premonition that something was not right.
It had to be said that Feng Yuqin's premonition was quite accurate.
After that, Xie Chen just kept talking non - stop like a running tap.
Feng Yuqin felt as if there was a mosquito buzzing in her ear.
What shocked her most was that Xie Chen really had a lot to say. For one of her questions, he could go on and on and on.
Xiaoying and Xiaojin in the space couldn't help but praise, "He's really talkative."
However, there was also an advantage. Xie Chen had a large vocabulary, and Feng Yuqin learned a lot about the layout of the Western Region.
So, it was not until the auction officially started that Xie Chen stopped talking.
"Welcome everyone to our auction today," the host said, grinning from ear to ear at the packed crowd.
"The first item is a weapon, a crescent - moon knife," the host said. "The starting price is ten thousand spirit stones."
As soon as the host finished speaking, someone bid, "Twenty thousand."
"Thirty thousand," someone immediately followed.
Feng Yuqin watched the bidders outside quietly, looking uninterested.
Xie Chen was good at reading people's expressions. Seeing that Feng Yuqin was not interested in these items, he started to introduce the people who came to the auction to her.
He would carefully introduce which forces the bidders belonged to, their status in the family, and their strength.
Just when Feng Yuqin was listening intently, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Seeing Feng Yuqin raise her eyebrows, Xie Chen immediately said, "Mrs. Mo, this is Mu Weizhu, the young mistress of the Phoenix Clan."
Then, Feng Yuqin heard Xie Chen introduce Mu Weizhu's information.
It was said that Mu Weizhu had disappeared before, and no one knew why she came back later.
After she came back, everyone thought she was a weakling. The Phoenix Clan had given up on her, but then there was a big reversal.
In just over two years, Mu Weizhu's promotion speed made the people of the Phoenix Clan look at her with new eyes.
So, three months ago, she was elected as the young mistress of the Phoenix Clan.
The election in the Phoenix Clan was different from that in many other families. In some families, even after a young mistress was elected, there would still be competition. If someone else won the competition, the young mistress would have to give up her position.
However, Mu Weizhu was the only one who met the qualifications in the Phoenix Clan. There was no one else to compete with her for the position of young mistress, so her status in the Western Region was very high.
Many young masters from noble families wanted to be on good terms with Mu Weizhu. After all, she had a high status and was beautiful, which was what many young masters from noble families pursued.
"Master, I didn't expect Mu Weizhu to be doing so well," Xiaoying gritted her teeth in the space.
"That's because I haven't shown up," Feng Yuqin replied. "Once I do, let's see if she can still do well."
Xiaoying immediately became interested. "Master, what do you plan to do?"
