They embraced each other tightly for a long time. Ye Chenxi lifted her head, her face slightly flushed. It was the first time she had ever experienced such a deep sense of security from a man. Overwhelmed by this sensation, Ye Chenxi couldn’t resist snuggling deeper into Chu Qing’s arms.

“How did you end up meeting those two?”

“I… left home and wanted to go out for a walk alone. I wanted to go to your school, but not long after I walked out, a van stopped in front of me.”

“Then, you know what happened after that. The two of them knocked me unconscious and tossed me into the van. If not for you, I might have already…”

“What are you talking about?”

Chu Qing knocked her head and she pouted aggrievedly.

“Do you know who they are? Why did they suddenly attack you?”

“I have a feeling they are sent by the Li family.”

“The Li family again?”

Chu Qing rubbed his forehead. The Li family had been causing lots of trouble recently. They seemed to be everywhere.

At this moment, Chu Qing suddenly remembered that the Li family and the Ye family were at war. Why did they send two powerful men to capture Ye Chenxi?

“Our family fell out with the Li family recently. We’re at war, but every time there’s a battle, some powerful people will appear in the Li family, forcing us to give up on those advantages and retreat…”

Powerful people?

Chu Qing thought. He roughly understood the situation.

No wonder the Li family had been so arrogant recently. They had been causing trouble everywhere and constantly provoking some ancient martial families. It turned out that their strength had suddenly increased greatly.

This improvement wasn’t due to any internal factors within their family but rather the influence of those mysterious Taoists!

For some reason, the Li family suddenly had a connection with those Taoists who cultivated in the depths of the mountains. This allowed their family’s strength to increase greatly. This was also the reason why the Ye family was constantly at a disadvantage despite facing the same foe for many years.

“Yes, they’re powerful people, just like the two who captured me earlier. They’re definitely not from ancient martial arts families. When they attacked me, they didn’t even reveal any aura fluctuations.”

Ye Chenxi nodded confidently as martial artists would sense each other’s abilities. For instance, Chu Qing could also sense some cultivators who cultivated spiritual energy. It was the same principle.

However, it was challenging for ancient martial artists to perceive immortal cultivators due to the stark contrast in their energies. Ancient martial arts families harnessed a relatively milder vital energy or internal energy generated through extensive physical training and cultivation techniques. On the other hand, spiritual energy directly absorbed the essence of the world, fortifying the body. There was simply no comparison between the two.

“I think 1 understand now. In other words, the Ye family is in a tough spot now.”

“It’s not just that… Apart from the Li family, some smaller families that are usually hidden have begun to show up and keep causing trouble for us.”

Ye Chenxi waved her fists fiercely. However, in Chu Qing’s eyes, she appeared a little cute.

“Could it be related to the World Treasures auction in two days?”

Chu Qing inquired, suspecting that the recent surge in activity among the ancient martial arts families might be linked to the upcoming auction in the world of ancient martial arts.

It was even likely that some rare spiritual treasures would appear.

Such occurrences were not uncommon in the realm of the fantasy continent. During his cultivation journey, Chu Qing had frequently taken part in notable auctions. It was typical for violent conflicts to erupt when remarkable items surfaced, and there were often simmering tensions leading up to the auctions.

“The World Treasures auction?”

Ye Chenxi was taken aback. Upon reflection, Chu Qing’s words made sense. It was highly probable that certain treasures had emerged, and the Li family had gotten wind of the news beforehand. Consequently, they had relentlessly targeted these ancient martial arts families, obstructing them from receiving the information and making necessary preparations to handle the situation.

“Chu Qing, you’re really my lucky star!”

After figuring everything out, Ye Chenxi suddenly hugged Chu Qing’s face and kissed him.

“This is your reward!”

Chu Qing suddenly regretted telling her so much. He had told her so much just to get a kiss as a reward?

“Um, do you want to go home with me? I have to go back quickly and tell my family the news. It’s very likely that the Li family is really preparing for the auction.”

“Also, there have been many experts in the Li family recently. We have to tell them about this soon. We have to shrink our forces against the Li family and prepare for the auction!”

Looking at Ye Chenxi’s elated expression, Chu Qing did not discourage her. Instead, he rubbed his head.

“What’s the hurry? Let’s go together..”
