Perfect Double Agent

However, what left the disciples of the Heaven-Mending Sect speechless was that they had stood tall and proud in the snow for a long time, braving the cold wind, only to find that the other party had only brought a half-grown child. This made them feel as frustrated as if they had punched a cotton ball, unable to exert their strength.
Because of his special status, Bai Ye has a secluded courtyard, and even two disciples of the Butian Sect who are specifically responsible for guarding it.
One of them, with his nostrils pointing to the sky, was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy holding a sword. His dissatisfaction and hostility were completely undisguised in his eyes.
The other was a beautiful girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, with bright eyes and a graceful figure. She was wearing a blue dress and stood tall and elegant in the courtyard. She answered every question without any restraint and her words were full of smiles.
"Have there been many powerful forces arriving recently?" Bai Ye asked after being led to the courtyard.
“The Taiyin Clan from Qizhou arrived yesterday, along with the Bailu Academy,” the girl said.
"White Deer Academy?" Bai Ye was surprised. In this Upper Realm, there are many academies, such as Celestial Immortal Academy, Yin Yang Academy, and Divine Cliff Academy. At first, he also had the idea of joining an academy, since it would be more free, but later he was brought into the Intercepting Heaven Sect.
"Not only that, the Tianyun Academy from Tianyun Prefecture should also be coming."
"Little brother, it seems that not many people from the Jietian Sect have come this time. Didn't your sect's Holy Maiden come?" the girl asked casually.
"Senior Sister has recently made some progress and is currently in seclusion to cultivate. I've heard that your Holy Maiden seems to be going to participate in this secret realm," Bai Ye said with a smile.
The girl seemed quite interested in him, and just as she was about to speak, the boy at the door snorted coldly, "What's the point of talking to people from this demonic sect? They might be dead inside tomorrow!"
Bai Ye frowned at the sword-wielding youth's cold words, but then relaxed. He pointed to the room and said in a low voice, "Actually, my senior sister is currently studying a supreme scripture, so she can't come. If you're interested, we can go inside and chat."
"Really?" The girl's eyes lit up, and she nodded quietly, pursing her lips, her eyes never ceasing to search.
"Of course, we can explore together while feeling the bones, such as the ethics of Yin and Yang, the secrets of the Holy Maiden over the years, the dark history of the first senior brother..." Bai Ye said a lot in one breath, leaving the beautiful girl speechless and stunned.
"He clearly has ill intentions, don't fall for his tricks!" The young man's expression grew even colder as he transmitted his voice.
"How could such a young child have so many bad intentions? Don't you find it strange that such a large sect like the Jietian Sect would only send one person, even knowing that the Holy Maiden Junior Sister would be involved? Is it confidence or just perfunctory?"
The girl even thought that the other party was very likely one of the top contenders in the Jietian Sect.
A person's temperament cannot be concealed. This young boy was too calm, so calm that even she, who was about to enter the Inscription Realm, felt oppressed. He was definitely not simple.
"It seems that my sister doesn't like staying indoors. Why don't we go for a stroll in the city? I've heard that the Thousand-Year Ice and Snow Brew in Water Mirror City is unparalleled in the world. I'd like to try it."
"Kid, don't go too far! Do you really think this is your Jie Tian Sect?" The arrogant youth's gaze sharpened, causing the snowflakes around him to pause abruptly.
"Feng Yu!" The girl stepped in front of Bai Ye. "Don't forget our duty."
"No, I think your senior brother is jealous. His arrogant look and murderous eyes make him look like a ferocious beast trying to show off his masculinity in front of a female." Bai Ye poked his head out from behind the girl and spoke casually.
"Male...?" Feng Yu exploded instantly, craning his neck and glaring, "Junior sister, get out of the way! Today I'm going to chop this rude and arrogant brat down, so he'll know what it means to be outmatched!"
"Are you really jealous?" the girl suddenly asked curiously.
However, just a simple sentence made Feng Yu freeze in place. But the next moment, he stammered. Facing the girl's lively and strange gaze, he didn't say a word and turned to run away.
"In the end, they were still too young..." Bai Ye murmured.
"You talk like you know everything, you little devil." The girl smiled and led Bai Ye outside.
"Although this place is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Butian Sect, it is actually my Xue family's city. If you like to drink iced snow wine, I can provide as much as you want. Also, my sister's name is Xue Rou, remember that." Xue Rou said.
"So Sister Xue Rou is quite wealthy! My apologies!" Bai Ye cupped his hands, looking old-fashioned, which made Xue Rou cover her mouth and laugh.
"Since that's the case, why don't you stay here permanently? I'll take care of you."
"No, I'm small but have a big appetite, I'm afraid I'll eat you out of house and home." Bai Ye waved his hand. Among the women in a great sect, how many are simple? Moreover, this is a woman specially arranged to be by his side. She can lie without batting an eye.
This made him realize that his senior sister was still the best. Although she was also a wicked maggot, at least she was beautiful, had a sweet voice, a flat chest, a delicate body, and small, light hands.
It's easy to use, isn't it?
Xue Rou was very familiar with everything in the city. She led him through a maze of gardens and parks, heading towards a hazy celestial palace in the east of the city.
"There you'll find the finest wines and delicacies in the city, as well as auctions of ancient scriptures and sacred medicines. And let me tell you a secret, there are even many family heiresses and noble ladies who frequent that place."
"Are there any as big as me?" Bai Ye asked.
"Yes, but I'm afraid you don't have the guts!"
"Really? Could it be your sect's saintess?" Bai Ye scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly. "So you've already made all the arrangements, sister. How could I possibly accept this..."
Xue Rou turned around and glared at him. "You little brat, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you. I want to live a few more years and marry a good husband."
"Junior sister is here too! Are you here for the auction as well?" Just as the two were chatting, several well-dressed men and women suddenly appeared not far away. They were led by a female disciple of the Butian Sect and seemed to be there for the so-called auction house as well.
The auction begins in Chapter 21.
This is a group of extremely powerful teenagers, all around twelve or thirteen years old. Each of them is outstanding and has an extraordinary temperament, clearly a dragon among men.
In fact, most of them were at the mid-to-late stage of the Spirit Transformation realm, which was much higher than Bai Ye's.
"This is a student from Tianyun Academy, and they will soon be your rivals," Xue Rou transmitted her voice.
Bai Ye nodded to himself, his gaze sweeping over the group without paying them any attention, and instead headed towards the Heavenly Palace.
As for the opponent Xue Rou mentioned, that was just her opinion. Perhaps the disciples would be happy to see anyone who could cause trouble for the Jie Tian Sect.
Of course, if it were a disciple of the Jietian Sect, they would do the same, and perhaps even more ruthlessly, directly hitting the victim with a sack of potatoes.
The two religions have long been at odds and cannot tolerate each other. The higher-ups do not restrain the friction between the lower-ups, but instead turn a blind eye to it, regarding it as a test between young people.
Snow Moon Auction House is the only auction house in Water Mirror City, located in the center of the Heavenly Palace Complex, and is owned by the Snow family.
Perhaps because many powerful figures have recently come to visit, the auction house is well-prepared, with an auction every day. But for some reason, there are an unusually large number of people today.
As soon as he entered, no fewer than a dozen gazes fell upon Bai Ye. Each gaze was powerful, like those of prehistoric gods, some filled with interest and others with curiosity.
There was even a familiar gaze, which meant that the Grand Elder was also here.
The auction house was enormous, engraved with spatial array patterns, and its end was difficult to see at a glance. On its black sky, starlight twinkled, and a snow-white crescent moon floated, sprinkling crystal moonlight and illuminating the area below in a hazy glow.
"The important person I taught is inside the moon..." Xue Rou whispered, and took the initiative to lead him into a private starlight.
This place resembles a private room and is also engraved with array patterns, which can prevent peeping, but it cannot stop a sect leader.
"Perhaps the saintess of your religion is there too."
Xue Rou seemed surprised to see so many important figures. She rolled her eyes at him, not daring to speak, like a docile little quail.
She even felt that a terrifying gaze was still staring at her, making her tremble from the depths of her soul.
Everyone says that the elders of the Jietian Sect are very protective of their own, and now she truly understands that.
"So cowardly even on your own turf." Bai Ye smiled and tapped the table. "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and serve the wine and food. Only when you're full and have enough to drink will you have the strength to compete with others."
"You're so carefree!" Xue Rou said, both amused and exasperated, before turning and fleeing as if she were running away.
But two more people had silently entered the private room.
"The sect has no shortage of female cultivators, and there are also Heavenly Foxes," the old woman said, her voice hoarse, like the whisper of a vengeful ghost.
"Homegrown flowers are never as fragrant as wild flowers. What you can't have is always the best. Take that Holy Maiden of the Heaven-Mending Sect, for example. If one day we suppress her and bring her back to the Heaven-Intercepting Sect, we'll not only get her, but also the Heaven-Mending Technique. It's killing two birds with one stone. If the sect leader finds out, he might even say I did a great job."
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a cough sounded from the moon in the center of the auction hall, and at the same time, a faint gaze swept over.
"We don't know what the leader said, but you will definitely be hunted down to death by the Patching Heaven Sect."
white night:"……"
However, the auction house is now attracting more and more people, and people occasionally enter the starlight in the sky, gradually making the dim auction house more dazzling.
"Today's auction involves a sacred herb, so there are many people here." Xue Rou arrived, personally carrying wine, dishes, and spiritual fruits, and was not surprised at all by the two extra people.
"A holy medicine?"
"It is called Snow Soul Lotus. It can purify soul power and enhance the primordial spirit. Many important figures like to eat one before going into seclusion."
"It's definitely a good product, let's buy it!" Bai Ye nodded, genuinely tempted.
"In addition, there is a manuscript that is suspected to be related to a supreme being."
"This represents an opportunity! A supreme treasure, something that no amount of crystals could buy! Buy it!"
Suddenly, the private room fell silent. Bai Ye looked up and met Xue Rou's depressed eyes. She asked in confusion, "Sister, don't stop!"
"Go ahead and drink yours!" Xue Rou rolled her eyes and walked straight out. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, the little guy would say something else.
But I must say, this ice and snow brew is really good. It looks clear and bright, with tiny ice flowers and cold mist floating on the surface.
After drinking it, a faint Daoist aura bloomed within his body like ice flowers, causing his entire body to tremble violently, as if he had been purified. His whole mind and body shuddered, and then he became clear and ethereal.
This wine is truly extraordinary. It's sweet and refreshing, without any spiciness or intoxication. The taste is so unforgettable that it leaves a lasting impression.
It must be said that Xue Rou was very generous in this regard, without the petty attitude of a disciple of a great family. Even her adversaries received the best treatment from her.
"This wine should not be served more than three times," the old woman reminded her, raising her eyelids.
"Elder Eagle, go find Miss Xue Rou and ask her to send over more. I really like this wine." Bai Ye placed the wine glass on the table, his eyes clear and showing no signs of drunkenness.
But he knew that this wine wasn't intoxicating; it just didn't work initially. After three cups, he might just pass out.
"What? You want me to send more? Does that brat think I'm a sucker?!" In another heavenly palace, Xue Rou's voice rose eight octaves after hearing the maid's report.
She originally wanted to get some information, which is why she volunteered, but who knew that little brat would be so persistent.
"Tell him that I'm not serving you anymore," Xue Rou said, but seeing that the maid hadn't left, her face immediately fell. "Does he have any other requests?"
"Miss, Her Highness the Holy Maiden is hosting a banquet for all the heroes at the Third Heavenly Palace, and it is suspected that the First Generation is also there. The clan elders hope that you will go and meet them."
"The First Generation?" Xue Rou exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be Li Yuncong from Tianyun Prefecture?!"
……
……
At this moment, in the Heavenly Palace where Bai Ye was, the long-awaited auction finally began, and the first item caused the scene to boil, pushing the atmosphere of the auction to an unprecedented high.
It was a magnificent peacock over two meters tall, its entire body seemingly cast from ice crystals, each feather a vibrant ice blue. Standing on the auction platform in the center of the venue, it radiated a luminous glow, resembling a perfect work of art.
"Ice Peacock chicks, unique spirit beasts from the depths of the ice plains, are an extremely rare ancient species. They are born with the great supernatural power of freezing thousands of miles. After reaching adulthood, their strength can easily reach the peak of the Venerable realm. Whether for guarding the house or pulling a carriage, they are an excellent choice. Starting bid: 200,000 crystal coins."
As soon as the host finished speaking, the applause and cheers from the audience couldn't stop.
An ice peacock is not particularly rare, but what is truly rare is the talisman bone of the fledgling bird that is beginning to develop supernatural powers. This is the most precious thing. If one can learn from it, the beneficiary will not be just one person. This is an irresistible temptation for small families or small forces.
Chapter 22 is heartbreaking.
A spirit beast was auctioned off for an astronomical price that left Bai Ye speechless, and he didn't know who ultimately won it.
Compared to the frozen landscape, he was more concerned about the Snow Soul Lotus, as that sacred medicine would be of great use to him at this stage.
