Although Cui Haimei, the exclusive auctioneer for the Cui family, had auctioned countless treasures, an item like a high-grade spiritual artifact was truly a first for her.

Before this, high-grade artifacts had been the pinnacle of her auctions.

High-grade spiritual artifacts?

In her three hundred years of life, she had never even seen one.

In Cui Haimei’s impression, spiritual artifacts were supposed to be in the hands of cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing stage or above.

How could they be auctioned off like this?

And to top it off, someone had specifically requested a special auction spot for it!

Behind the stage, Cui Mingzhe, the young master of the Cui family, suddenly stood up.

He quickly asked, “What’s going on?”

As the person responsible for this auction, Cui Mingzhe had no idea that a high-grade spiritual artifact would be up for bid today.

If he had known, at the very least, it would have been promoted for decades beforehand.

Only then could it attract those high-level cultivators to compete.

But now, the auction of a high-grade spiritual artifact was being handled so haphazardly.

It seemed like such a waste!

Soon, a Cui family guard approached.

Kneeling on one knee, he reported, “Young Master, according to the rules, the next auction item was supposed to be a pill.”

“But a distinguished guest in the private room insisted on auctioning a high-grade spiritual artifact immediately. Otherwise, they would not sell it.”

“So, Miss Cui took the initiative to start the auction!”

Upon hearing this, Cui Mingzhe stomped his foot angrily.

Have people’s tempers become so volatile these days?

A high-grade spiritual artifact—at the very least, it should have been the main attraction.

It could have brought a lot of prestige to the Dragon Slaying Bay.

Whatever.

One who possesses a high-grade spiritual artifact must have a mindset beyond their imagination.

Cui Mingzhe waved his hand slightly, indicating for the guard to leave.

He then made a silent decision in his mind.

Regardless of how many spirit stones this high-grade spiritual artifact would cost, the Cui family must acquire it.

With some maneuvering, they could definitely make a lot more spirit stones!

On the other side, Ye Yu and Liang Yu were also very curious.

A high-grade spiritual artifact was definitely worth seeing.

So Ye Yu pulled Liang Yu back to their seats.

“It’s not like we’re in a hurry. Let’s see what this spiritual artifact is all about!”

Liang Yu pondered for a moment and did not stop him.

A high-grade spiritual artifact’s benefits to cultivators were immense.

If it were a defensive spiritual artifact, Liang Yu would definitely suggest that Ye Yu buy it.

After all, only when he is safe would she truly feel at ease.

But Liang Yu could never have imagined, how soon she would come to deeply regret this decision!

On the stage, Cui Haimei spoke softly, “Fellow Daoists, due to the special nature of this auction item, the owner of this high-grade spiritual artifact intends to personally conduct the auction.”

“Please give her a warm welcome!”

The next moment, Ruan Lianyue’s figure descended from above, gently landing on the stage.

Her appearance caused an uproar among everyone present.

They couldn’t help but marvel at her beauty.

“Never thought there would be such an exquisite fairy in the world.”

“Indeed, and she possesses a high-grade spiritual artifact. It’s truly enviable.”

“I wonder if this fairy has someone she loves. If not, I might give it a try.”

“Shut up. With your toad-like appearance, you still dream of eating swan meat? Go dream on!”

…

The discussions below were endless.

Ye Yu was completely oblivious to them.

Looking at that familiar figure, a flood of memories surged into his mind.

In the dream realm, from childhood, the first time he saw Ruan Lianyue, the first time he tasted a spiritual fruit, the first person he admired during his youth.

To be honest, the early part of that dream was indeed a beautiful memory.

Meanwhile, Liang Yu was deeply shocked by Ruan Lianyue’s appearance.

She immediately grasped Ye Yu’s hand tightly, feeling a sense of fear. Afraid that Ye Yu might be taken away again by this woman, Ruan Lianyue.

On the stage.

Originally a beauty herself, Cui Haimei had been reduced to a supporting role upon Ruan Lianyue’s arrival.

Ruan Lianyue offered no unnecessary words.

She casually took out the high-grade spiritual artifact, Forget Sorrow.

The short sword floated in mid-air, and a dense sword aura swept across the entire venue in an instant.

Under Ruan Lianyue’s infusion of spiritual energy, some lower-level cultivators couldn’t even look directly at this sword.

Behind the stage, Cui Mingzhe’s breathing grew rapid.

A spiritual artifact, it really is a high-grade spiritual artifact!

No matter how many spirit stones, it must be bought.

So Cui Mingzhe immediately sent a mental message to Cui Haimei: “Quickly ask her how many spirit stones!”

Cui Haimei blinked and took a step forward, “May I ask this fairy, how many spirit stones do you intend to start the bidding at for this sword?”

“I don’t plan to trade this sword for spirit stones. Instead, I want everyone to help me find someone.”

“Whoever can help me locate the person in this painting, this sword will be given for free!”

Ruan Lianyue unfurled the scroll she was holding tightly.

The person depicted was undoubtedly Ye Yu!

Offering a high-grade spiritual artifact as a reward to get many cultivators to help her find someone, this was a method Ruan Lianyue had just thought of.

And this was the most valuable spiritual artifact she possessed at the moment.

Ruan Lianyue believed that as long as she could find Ye Yu, any cost would be worth it.

Moreover, even if she found Ye Yu, would she really give the Forget Sorrow sword to that person?

The answer was no.

Because this top-grade short sword was a betrothal gift given to her by Ye Yu and held great significance.

How could Ruan Lianyue just hand it over?

Of course, if someone could help her find Ye Yu, she would offer other generous rewards.

But it would never be Forget Sorrow.

If someone was ungrateful, Ruan Lianyue wouldn’t mind killing a few people!

After all, when she woke up, she had already prepared herself to become the wife of a demon lord.

Reputation meant nothing to Ruan Lianyue, finding Ye Yu was the most important thing!

In the private room, seeing Ruan Lianyue take out the Forget Sorrow, Ye Yu was not surprised.

He had suspected that Forget Sorrow was certainly manifested by the system and ended up with Ruan Lianyue.

But he hadn’t expected that she would be willing to use this high-grade spiritual artifact as a stake to find him.

Could it be that this woman’s murderous intent was so strong?

Having killed once in the dream, and still unsatisfied, preparing to do it again?

Thinking about this, Ye Yu furrowed his brow slightly.

He began to consider whether he should find an opportunity to reveal the truth to Ruan Lianyue.

But, would she believe him if he told her the truth?

At this moment, Liang Yu was the one who was most flustered.

In the dream, after Ye Yu’s death, she had revealed all the truth to Ruan Lianyue.

The latter then awakened, realizing that everything had been Ye Yu’s silent sacrifice.

It was said that she later even died for Ye Yu.

At that time, Liang Yu knew that Ruan Lianyue had also fallen in love with him.

After waking from the dream, Liang Yu had tried to find out about Ye Yu’s whereabouts from Ruan Lianyue.

Then she discovered that this woman was also searching for Ye Yu, wanting to make up for the regrets of the dream.

Thus, Liang Yu considered Ruan Lianyue her top enemy.

She had intended to keep Ye Yu from meeting her as much as possible.

But now, Ruan Lianyue had taken the initiative to come forward.

What should she do?

Liang Yu felt an overwhelming sense of panic.

Her palms began to sweat.
