185 Caught? (1/2)
With the abrupt end of the auction, those in the audience were supposed to go and pay for the items they purchased while a representative themselves would go to those in the rooms and make it easier for the most honoured guests to pay.
And surprisingly enough, the one who came to Bai Long's room was the same woman who had dragged Jin Ying away.
”Bai Long, was it? For someone who pulled of such a trick, you sure are enjoying yourself.”
”Huh?”
”There was only one small fault in your plan. You forgot to get rid off the remnant of Crystal Yin on your body and that storage ring.”
Turning tense from realizing what the woman was talking about, Bai Long truly didn't know what do do next.
He was confident in clashing with a Sage Realm Cultivator and retreating safely, but against this woman who treated Jin Ying like an ant, Bai Long wasn't even interested in fighting against her.
”Don't look so tense. You actually made it easy for me to get rid of that slut, so I'm not going to care about how you cheated the Pheonix Pavilion.”
”Still, the next time you plan on using such tricks make sure to do it properly and not leave any traces which will lead the other back to you.”
Saying so, the woman threw the storage ring in her hand towards Bai Long who caught it and threw a ring back to her.
Nodding their heads in acknowledgement, the woman turned around to leave while saying, ”As promised beforehand, you can take those women away.”
Looking towards the woman who was no longer in his line of sight, Bai Long whose back was covered in cold swear actually had a very interesting smile on his face.
Since when had this woman been monitoring what was happening inside this branch of Phoenix Pavillion?
If he wasn't wrong she must've seen everything since the first time he entered these walls and sold the Crystal Yin to Jin Ying.
The only thing he couldn't figure out, however, was how did the woman find out that something had been done with the Crystal Yin?
The technique he used was supposed to be something which had been lost with time, and even if someone knew about it, it wasn't easy to find out whether or not the technique was actually used.
Looking towards the triplets who were unable to understand what had just happened, Bai Long asked, ”Who is she?”
”That was Lady Hu Lifen. One of the hundred Elders who are responsible for managing the business of the Pheonix Pavilion across the Mainland. Their position is only next to that of the one who established the Pheonix Pavilion.”
Nodding his head, Bai Long understood that the woman's identity wasn't as simple as someone who managed a region of the Mainland but even higher.
Sighing at how he managed to escape a possible life and death trouble Bai Long made sure to remember that he should be even more careful in the future when he tried such things.
