  After leaving the Divine Workshop, Li Hui's mood was greatly improved. Apart from the 2% fee deducted by the Divine Workshop and the cost of the Ice Silkworm Snow Coat, he still had over 2,000 mid-grade spirit stones left in his storage bag.

  After the auction is over, the monks who participated in the auction will hand over the number plate in their hands to the Divine Workshop for settlement. After settling the accounts, they can return from the entrance and exit after returning the cloak to the Divine Workshop.

  Out of the divine workshop, everyone went their separate ways, and no one knew who had actually bought or bid on anything at the auction.

  When handing over the Ling Stone, the Divine Workshop clearly showed its intention to win him over, hoping that Li Hui would cooperate with the Divine Workshop again if he had anything good in the future. To this, Li Hui naturally responded vaguely and then left.

  Li Hui walked straight towards the inn where Han Xue was staying.

  Just as he was about to leave the Divine Workshop, several foundation-building monks were wandering outside, seemingly waiting for someone. As Li Hui walked by, he suddenly felt a stir in his heart and found that one of the monks had a somewhat familiar face. He turned back to take another look, but couldn't quite recall where he had seen him before.

  "There were only a few people who knew me well to begin with, and it's even less likely in this Imperial City." Li Hui shook his head somewhat self-mockingly, and didn't dwell on the matter anymore, striding away.

  Just as Li Hui left, the Jiedan cultivator who was glanced at by Li Hui also showed a few points of confusion on his face, feeling that the black-clothed cultivator seemed to have been seen somewhere before, but couldn't think of where.

  Just then, the people that these several Jijin monks were waiting for came out of the alley, and they hurried to welcome them. Afterwards, they went in another direction together with those people.

  If Li Hui were still here, he would definitely be shocked, because those few people who built the foundation, turned out to be the master of Bi Xiang Men, Han Shi Dao Ren!

  ……

  On the long street, a young man in black clothes and a woman in white clothes as snow, stunning beauty walked side by side. The two had a lot to say and laugh along the way, occasionally entering some shops on the street, but obviously just strolling around - it was Li Hui and Han Xue.

  After returning to the inn, Li Hui gave the ice silkworm snow clothes to Han Xue. Han Xue immediately went to the inner room to change into it, and then the two of them walked out of the inn together, strolling around in this Ziwei City.

  Two people wandered aimlessly on the long street, occasionally exchanging tender glances, and in their eyes, the whole world seemed to have disappeared, leaving only each other.

  At the other end of the long street, an old man with a ruddy complexion and a long beard walked on the long street, followed by four young monks. The monks who passed by them intentionally avoided him and took a detour after noticing the strong aura emanating from the old man's body. This long-bearded old man was actually a Golden Elixir cultivator.

  Li Hui and Han Xue continued to chat and laugh as they walked along the other side of the long street, which was quite wide, spanning over ten zhang, passing by a group of five people in the opposite direction.

  In that row of people, behind the old man with a long beard, a young monk occasionally glanced at the street and suddenly stopped, his face showing an incredulous expression, muttering to himself: "It can't be her!"

  "Liu Shixiong, what's wrong?" someone beside him asked.

  "I just saw a woman who looked like... Han Xue!" said Liu Shixiong somewhat uncertainly.

  "Xue? You said you saw 'Snow Fairy' Xue? Where?" The monk also asked with a hint of astonishment.

  "Ah, right there, just walked by!" Liu Shixiong pointed with his hand at Li Hui and Han Xue.

  That monk followed Liu Shixiong's pointing and looked over, starting to be somewhat puzzled, then his eyes lit up: "No mistake, it must be Han Xue!"

  "What's all the commotion about?" A stern voice came, and it was that white-bearded old man who stopped in his tracks, furrowed his brow, and turned to look at these noisy disciples.

  These five people are Han Shi Dao Ren, the leader of Bi Xiang Men, and four disciples under Bi Xiang Men.

  "Reporting back to Master Shibo, I just saw a woman who seems to be our sect's disciple Han Xue!" replied Liu Shixiong with a bow.

  "Master Shibo, that woman is Han Xue, there's no mistake!" The disciple who was standing beside Liu Shixiong shouted affirmatively.

  "Oh?" Han Shi's expression changed slightly, the Bi Xiang Gate had encountered a great disaster, and eight or nine out of ten disciples under the gate did not escape. Only they, a few Golden Elixir cultivators, brought some elite disciples to escape, but many were lost along the way. Later, under the leadership of Huayang Old Ancestor, they came to this Xia Zhou Purple Wei City to establish themselves. If they could meet their fellow sect members, they would naturally summon them back to strengthen the sect's power.

  "You four go and take a look first, if it's really one of our sect's disciples, bring her back. I'll wait for you here, if there's any trouble, I'll rush over immediately." Han Shi Dao Ren ordered after a moment of contemplation.

  After all, it's still unclear whether the woman is a disciple of this sect or not. If I, as a Golden Elixir cultivator, rashly step forward and it turns out to be a misunderstanding, wouldn't that be laughable?

  "We obey the order of our master!" The four replied in unison.

  "Three junior brothers, let's hurry over!" Liu's face showed a few points of joy, and he led the three people to rush towards the direction where Li Hui and Han Xue had gone.

  Li Hui and Han Xue strolled along the main street, stopping occasionally, not having walked too far. The two of them sometimes turned around in some alleys, and sometimes frolicked on the main street, just like ordinary young lovers.

  Bixiao Gate's four people, led by Liu Shixiong, had arrived ahead of the two after a detour. The four turned around and observed Li Hui and Han Xue.

  "That's right, absolutely no mistake, that's Han Xue!" The disciple beside Liu Shixiong exclaimed excitedly, "Liu Shixiong..."

  He turned around, only to find that Liu Shixiong was stunned on the spot, his face darkening, his eyes blazing with hatred as he stared forward.

  Following Liu Shixiong's line of sight, Han Xue was walking shoulder to shoulder with the black-clothed cultivator beside her, and the two of them would occasionally make some intimate gestures. What kind of relationship they had was naturally obvious at a glance.

  The "Snow Fairy" who usually appears icy and detached in the Bi Xiao Gate, not giving those around her a second glance, now fluttered about like a tame bird in front of the black-robed monk.

  At that moment, the monk who was with Liu Shixiong suddenly understood a little. This Liu Shixiong was also one of Han Xue's admirers, and he had been pursuing her persistently but never got a smile in return. Seeing Han Xue being so intimate with someone else at this time, how could he not be angry?

  "Brother Liu, Brother Liu! Let's go!" The monk called out twice before finally snapping Brother Liu out of his daze.

  "Go!" Master Liu glanced at the few disciples beside him, squeezing out a word from between his teeth. The four of them stepped forward together, blocking Li Hui and Han Xue.

  "Miss Han is so elegant and refined. Our school has encountered misfortune, and we have fled to this place. Miss Han does not share the worries of our school, but instead indulges in romantic pleasures here!"

  Li Hui and Han Xue were walking forward when a voice full of sarcasm came, looking ahead, four monks in brown robes blocked the way, the first person looked at them with a rather malicious gaze, and the previous words were also said by this person.

  "Liu Shidi...... Wang Shidi! You... how did you end up here?"

  Li Hui naturally sensed that these few people were foundation-building cultivators, but he didn't put it in his heart. Just as he was about to make a move, he heard Han Xue call out somewhat excitedly. His heart stirred, and he stopped speaking, but instead stood still, calmly looking at the four people in front of him.

  "It's rare for Master Han to still remember us, we've been here for a long time. I think Master Han has probably forgotten that she is still a member of the Bi Xiang Men!" That was what Liu Shixiong said with a belly full of anger and sarcasm.

  Li Hui's expression changed, and from Han Xue calling out their names, he guessed that these people must be from the Bi Xiao Gate. However, at this moment, hearing this person speak with such discourteous words, he also felt a few parts of anger in his heart. His face changed, and he coldly looked at this Liu Shixiong.

  Liu Shixiong suddenly felt a chill run down his body, turned his head to look, and saw that the black-robed monk beside Han Xue was staring at him. Their eyes met, and he instantly felt like a sharp sword had been transmitted from the gaze, piercing straight into his soul. Unconsciously, he froze for a moment before shifting his gaze away.

  "Yao Shidi, what are you talking about? After I escaped, I also went to the agreed place to look for news of our sect, but after searching for two days without finding anything, I coincidentally arrived in this Ziwei City. Today, I happened to meet you and a few fellow disciples. How can you say that I forgot about our sect?" Han Xue's heart was also slightly displeased, her face turned cold as ice, and she said calmly.

  That Master Liu originally avoided Li Hui's gaze and felt embarrassed, thinking of finding a chance to regain his dignity. Upon hearing Han Xue speak, he turned his attention back to her and saw the cold expression on her face, contrasting with her demeanor in front of the black-robed cultivator earlier. He couldn't help but feel even more jealous and became somewhat enraged.

  "Since Master Huan hasn't forgotten about the sect, why not search for it in this Ziwei City? Our sect has been here for some time now. I think Master Huan must have found a new lover, that little white-faced boy by her side, and completely put the sect out of her mind!"

  "What if I forgot?" Li Hui suddenly took a step forward, his aura surging up as he blocked Liu Shixiong's path. His eyes were like ancient glaciers, cold and unfeeling, looking at Liu Shixiong as if he were a dead object.
