Chapter 58: Junior Sister, Your Teacher is Really Good to You
"Sister, why are you dressed like this when entering the city?" At the entrance of Jia Ma Capital City, Xiao Yi Xian looked at Nalan Yanran, who was wearing a white cloak, with a puzzled expression.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran showed a touch of helplessness on her pretty face. "Isn't it to avoid being recognized by acquaintances and then reported to my father?"
Speaking of this, a resentful look appeared on Nalan Yanran's face. "Since I went to the Xiao family to break off the engagement without the family's consent, my father and grandfather have been furious. They've sent people to Yunlan Sect several times, asking me to return."
"I won't go back! If I go back, they will definitely scold me again."
After hearing Nalan Yanran's explanation, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly understood, "I see."
Regarding the matter of Nalan Yanran canceling her engagement, during their time together, Xiao Yi Xian had learned some details from Nalan Yanran.
Although she felt that Senior Sister Nalan's abrupt cancellation of the engagement was a bit improper, Nalan Yanran had explained that she had never met her fiancé since childhood, didn't like him, and he was also a waste unable to cultivate.
Thinking about Senior Sister Nalan's future happiness, as a good sister, Xiao Yi Xian naturally supported her decision.
"I really can't understand why my father and grandfather insist on marrying me to that Xiao Yan. Because of this, I dare not even go home now." Nalan Yanran's face showed a frustrated expression.
Seeing Nalan Yanran in a bad mood, Xiao Yi Xian quickly comforted her, "Senior, maybe they are just angry for a moment. After some time, when they cool down, they will naturally forgive you."
Nalan Yanran sighed, "I hope so."
"Let's go; it's our turn."
The two were queuing at the city gate to enter the city. When it was Nalan Yanran's turn, she grabbed Xiao Yi Xian and headed towards the Jia Ma Capital City.
...
"Sister, where are we going now?"
On the street, Xiao Yi Xian followed behind Nalan Yanran, somewhat puzzled.
Nalan Yanran replied, "Miteer Auction House. That's where the things I want to buy are."
"Oh!"
Xiao Yi Xian responded playfully and followed closely behind. It was her first time entering the Jia Ma Capital City, and she seemed a bit nervous, fearing she might get lost and not find her way.
After a while, the two arrived in front of a majestic building with the inscription "Miteer Auction House."
"Sister, let's go in."
Then, Nalan Yanran led Xiao Yi Xian directly into the Miteer family's premises.
"Hello, may I help you?"
After Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian entered the hall, a delicate-looking maid immediately approached them and asked.
Nalan Yanran calmly said, "I need to purchase some things."
"Please follow me, guests." The maid's attitude was respectful.
The two followed the maid to a front desk.
Seated at the front desk was a middle-aged man. After the maid explained the purpose of their visit, the middle-aged man warmly approached Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian, smiling, "What do you need to purchase?"
Nalan Yanran, with her cloak on, spoke with a cold tone, "I want to buy ten bottles of Jade Skin Elixir."
"Jade Skin Elixir, alright." The middle-aged man nodded and then looked at Xiao Yi Xian with a questioning gaze.
Before Xiao Yi Xian could respond, Nalan Yanran leaned over and whispered to her, "Junior Sister, do you want to buy some Jade Skin Elixir too? It's a second-grade elixir. After cultivation, bathing with it can not only moisturize your skin but also slightly enhance your cultivation speed."
"Jade Skin Elixir?"
Xiao Yi Xian blinked her eyes, then shook her head, "Senior Sister, I don't need it."
Nalan Yanran was momentarily surprised, then thought of something and whispered, "Don't worry, Junior Sister, I'll treat you."
She assumed that Xiao Yi Xian declined because of financial constraints, unable to afford the Jade Skin Elixir.
However, after saying these words, Nalan Yanran also felt a bit distressed.
Her current situation was different from before. She couldn't just ask her family for money. Since the divorce with Xiao Yan, she had been reluctant to go home, and her card balance was only two hundred thousand gold coins.
Jade Skin Elixir cost ten thousand gold coins per bottle. If she invited Xiao Yi Xian, she would become a pauper too.
However, after hearing Nalan Yanran's words, Xiao Yi Xian just shook her head and said, "Senior Sister, thank you for your kindness, but I really don't need it."
She then took out several bottles of Jade Bone Pill from her ring and continued, "Teacher gave me plenty of Jade Bone Pills. I use it for bathing regularly."
"Jade Bone Pills!"
Seeing the small bottles that Xiao Yi Xian took out, Nalan Yanran was momentarily stunned, then her mouth twitched slightly.
As one of the three major families in the imperial capital, the Nalan family naturally knew about Jade Bone Pills.
Jade Bone Pills were listed as a fourth-grade pill, not only moisturizing the skin, beautifying, and preserving youth but also tempering the body's strength.
Moreover, just one bottle of Jade Bone Pills cost nearly a hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!
In terms of effects and price, Jade Bone Pills surpassed Jade Skin Elixir by far.
Most importantly, the Jade Bone Pills in Xiao Yi Xian's hands were personally refined by the Alchemy King Gu He.
"Junior Sister, your teacher is really good to you."
Nalan Yanran's tone suddenly became a bit sour.
Xiao Yi Xian, upon hearing this, didn't think too much and nodded in agreement, "Teacher is the best person to me in this world."
The steward on the side, upon hearing their conversation and seeing the small bottles in Xiao Yi Xian's hands, was extremely shocked.
Bathing with Jade Bone Pills—this person had an extraordinary background!
However, he tactfully did not inquire further from Xiao Yi Xian and instead turned his gaze to Nalan Yanran, saying, "Miss, please wait a moment. I'll go get the Jade Skin Elixir for you."
After speaking, the steward was about to turn and leave.
"May I ask if you have gold attribute magic cores here?" Xiao Yi Xian suddenly spoke up, remembering something.
Upon hearing this, the steward stopped in his tracks, wearing a smile on his face. "Gold attribute magic cores, of course, we have them. I wonder what grade of gold attribute magic cores you need?"
A strange thought crossed the steward's mind. Has gold attribute magic cores become so popular recently? He still remembered the scene a week ago when a customer swept all the fourth-grade magic cores from the auction house.
He also heard that not only in their M
iteer Auction House but also in other small and large shops, the fourth-grade and higher gold attribute magic cores were similarly cleaned out.
That customer must be really wealthy! The steward couldn't help but marvel.
"Are gold attribute magic cores expensive?" Xiao Yi Xian hesitated and asked.
With two hundred and twenty thousand gold coins in her teacher's card, Xiao Yi Xian didn't know what grade of gold attribute magic cores she could afford.
Upon hearing this, the steward was slightly surprised.
It seems this customer isn't as wealthy as the one last time.
Afterward, the steward began to explain the prices of gold attribute magic cores to Xiao Yi Xian.
