Behind her, Ji Xiuran stepped out of the banquet hall, holding a long rectangular box in the bony hands by his side.
“Xiao Feng.”
Upon hearing someone calling her, Ye Wanzan subconsciously halted her steps and turned around. “Emperor Ji…”
Emperor Ji glanced at the bony figure beside him and nodded. He then presented the long box in front of Ye Wanzan.
“What is this?” Ye Wanzan was puzzled.
“This Tang sword is for you,” Ji Xiuran spoke.
“Huh…? For me?” Ye Wanzan was taken aback.
“Yes, I see that you like it,” Ji Xiuran casually replied, as if it were a matter of course.
Beidou and Qixing exchanged a glance, both wearing surprised expressions.
What’s going on with Emperor Ji?
Why does it feel like his attitude is off?
And this isn’t the first time they’ve felt this way…
Originally, the Fearless Alliance and Emperor Ji were supposed to be in opposition, but ever since Miss Maple returned, the two sides not only didn’t intensify their conflicts but also grew closer.
However, no matter how much Qixing thought about it, he couldn’t understand why Ji Xiuran had any reason to associate with the notorious Fearless Alliance…
Ye Wanzan wiped her sweat upon hearing that. “No, no, this is too valuable!”
As one of the highlight auction items tonight, this sword had been sold for over a billion yuan.
Beidou was directly stunned. “Oh my God! Isn’t this the Tang sword previously used by the former president of the Martial Arts League? It’s a collectible that all independent state warriors dream of having!
Maple, what’s going on? At a time like this, shouldn’t you shamelessly accept it? Why do you suddenly become so upright and righteous in front of Emperor Ji?”
Upright and righteous my ass!
“Shut up,” Ye Wanzan kicked out, then turned to Ji Xiuran and said, “Ahem, thank you, but this sword is indeed too valuable. I can’t accept it.”
Okay, she also felt that every time she was in front of Ji Xiuran, she inexplicably became very “upright and righteous.”
Ji Xiuran didn’t mind and lightly laughed, “Then take it and play with it for a few days. Return it to me afterward.”
“Oh, I see…” Ye Wanzan gazed at the sword, feeling a little tempted.
Since she first saw this sword in the banquet hall, she had been restless, and now she could borrow it for research.
Meanwhile, the bony figure had already taken a step forward and directly handed the box to Ye Wanzan.
Ye Wanzan carefully accepted it and said, “Ahem, thank you. I will surely take good care of it.”
“You’re welcome,” Ji Xiuran smiled and then, as if reminded of something, his smile faded slightly. “Sorry, I can’t bid on my own donated item, the ring…”
Upon hearing this, a small flame of anger ignited in Ye Wanzan’s heart, but she suppressed it and gritted her teeth, “It’s alright, I have my ways.”
Before Ye Wanzan could finish, Ji Xiuran’s calm gaze with a hint of meaning fell upon the girl’s face. “No other intentions?”
Caught in Ji Xiuran’s gaze, Ye Wanzan felt a bit awkward. As Bai Feng, she and Ji Xiuran had a somewhat ambiguous relationship. In Ji Xiuran’s eyes, he probably wouldn’t believe that she was purely doing it for honor.
Before Ye Wanzan could think of a response, Beidou,
who was nearby, immediately interjected, “No other intentions? Maple, are you kidding?!”
Veins bulged on Ye Wanzan’s forehead. “Beidou, it seems like you’ve been feeling a little itchy lately?”
Beidou quickly retreated a few steps. “No, no! Maple, you have no other intentions at all. You’re doing it for love and justice!”
Ye Wanzan: “…”
