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 clas.h.i.+ng 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 s.l.u.t, 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 ident.i.ty 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.
After all, if it wasn"t someone like Hu Lifen that found our about this and instead someone else, it might be possible that he would"ve been dead right now.
Forgetting to get rid of the traces of Crystal Yin on him, such a rookie mistake.
Shaking his head and berating himself at how he forgot such a basic thing, Bai Long looked through the spatial ring he obtained to see if everything was there.
Inside the ring, other than all the items he made the successful final bid for, there were two additional things.
An oval-shaped silver plate, and a folded piece of paper.
Taking the paper out first, Bai Long read it completely and at the end of it took out the oval plate with an excited look on his face.
"A flying treasure as a thank you gift? What a weird woman."
Unable to understand what the woman was even thinking, Bai Long cross-checked all the arrays on the plate and only after he made sure that none of them were used for surveillance or spying did he decide to use it and not make a similar flying treasure on his own by using the Ring of Darkness.
"Get dressed, we"re leaving."
"As you wish owner."
Once the Wei triplets finished dressing themselves, Bai Long let them out of the Pheonix Pavilion before starting to use the silver plate.
Controlling the array on it which would allow him to make it grow bigger or smaller in size, Bai Long made it grow big enough to allow the four of them to easily fit on it.
"What are you waiting for? Hop on."
Climbing into the oval disk which was floating at one foot above the ground, the three women had just managed to stabilize their footing when Bai Long jumped up on it and then started using it to fly away.
Using his Qi faster than when he was using it to fly, most likely because he was using the treasure to sustain the weight of four individuals alongside him, Bai Long found that he would have no trouble using this treasure for a long time.
After all, his speed of recovering spent Qi while moving was just enough to keep up with what he was using.
Either way, he only needed to spend more Qi if he wanted to make the flying disc travel at a faster speed. And the max speed of the flying treasure was almost three times of what Bai Long could achieve when flying on his own without using any outside help.
Making a quick decision, Bai Long who had already travelled on this path decided to pour all of his Qi into the flying disc and made it fly at the highest speed possible during the mornings, and spent the nights resting while having s.e.x with the triplets and recovering his Qi to continue their travel in the morning.
This way, Bai Long"s journey back to the flying ice mountain took a lot less time than he spent in flying to the city from it.
