Chapter 351 Reuniting
"To think you would buy something like that from the auction. Isn't that a waste of money?" In the middle of the bustling city, two young men walked around the streets, looking at the stalls on both sides of the road for something of value.
As they moved through the confusing streets, the aroma of exotic spices and sizzling street food filled the air, ignoring the chatter of merchants and the clatter of horse-drawn carriages. Tian Heng looked at the woman walking on the streets with a sly glint in his eyes.
But soon he realized that most of them were married or too old for him and changed the target for his sight.
Hearing the words of his white-haired friend, Yuan Ming stopped looking around with caution and sharp eyes, turned back to look at him with an embarrassed expression. "That stone slab looked really mysterious, so I bought it. I will look at it in my free time, maybe it will help me in my cultivation."
Seeing him scratching his head in embarrassment, Tian Heng narrowed his eyes before shrugging it off. He knew that everyone had their own secrets to keep.
So instead of looming over the topic, he looked around the area with a playful glint in his eyes.
Yuan Ming sighed in relief seeing the guy dropping the topic. It was not that he did not trust; the thing he bought was related to one of his secrets.
'I hope this stone is just as miraculous as the one I got from that domain.'
"Why are we still here? We have already cleared the mission master gave us." Tian Heng suddenly asked with a bored look on his face. At first, he thought that he would find something of worth in the auction, but reality struck him hard.
Even though his family was rich, he was not and the things in this Empire were worth way more than something he could afford.
"I have a feeling that we should be here," Yuan Ming replied with a serious look on his face.
"You and your intuition," Tian Heng groaned in annoyance hearing his friend's words. "Sigh~ What can we possibly find— "
"What happened?" Yuan Ming could not help but notice his chatty friend suddenly going silent. He turned around to see his face looking in one direction. And sure enough, he saw something that was responsible for shutting him up.
It was none other than their junior sister walking across the street a little far away from them along with another woman wearing a beautiful dress and a veil on her face. He himself was a little awestruck by their beautiful appearance.
"It's junior sister, we should meet up with her and take her along with us back to the sect," Yuan Ming rolled his eyes hearing Tian Heng's enthusiastic words but still he nodded in agreement.
But before they could make their way towards the, they stopped again seeing someone stopping the two women in their path. Noticing that it was a man who was stopping their way without any good intentions who was hindering their path, the two of them decided to rush over.

"Young Miss, May I have the honor of knowing your name?"
Song Liu looked confused seeing someone suddenly coming up to her and blocking her way.
It was a frail-looking middle-aged man with a pointed goatee and mustache that he was caressing from time to time as he spoke those words.
The most noticeable thing about him were the robes he was wearing. They were white robes with a golden border line and a huge emblem of a cauldron on his back and a small one on his front.
"Isn't that Master Liang Wei!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Poor girls, he has been using his Tier 4 alchemist authority to force many girls into doing whatever he wants."
"No, he just targets women who are not from Waterfall City and do not have any noticeable background."
"He is also the vice head of the alchemist branch in this place."
People on the street around the two women could not help but look at them and when they saw the man stopping them, they all started talking among themselves in whispers.
The veiled woman by Song Liu's side narrowed her eyes hearing the words of the people around them despite the distance between them.
She looked around the area and saw some of the hidden guards standing there looking at them while blending into the crowd.
"Let's go," she said looking at the man coldly, giving him a warning to leave them alone.
Seeing the cold look, a shiver passed through Liang Wei's body before a grin appeared on his face.
As the two women were about to pass by him, he extended his arm stopping them in their tracks.
"It's impolite to not answer a question like that, young miss," he spoke again with a sly smile on his face while signaling the people in the crowd secretly.
"And it's impolite to stop someone when they want to leave." Just as his men were about to make their move, someone spoke up, stopping him in the middle.
He turned around and saw two young men walking their way through the crowd. One of them was looking at him coldly while the other was looking at the girls he was trying to stop.
They were none other than Yuan Ming and Tian Heng.
"Junior Sister, Are you alright? Why are you alone here? Didn't you leave with the new Elder?" Tian Heng hurriedly approached Song Liu while keeping his eye on the veiled beauty beside her, who was looking at him sharply for some reason.
"Is there a problem, gentlemen?" Liang Wei tried to look calm seeing the appearance of two young men. He could sense that their cultivation was in the foundation stage unlike the two girls who seemed weak.
'They should be from some sect, since they are addressing each other like that.
Even though there are only a few sect disciples who cannot be tempted by my identity.
Colliding with them in the daylight is not a good solution; he also said there was an elder with them.
All the elders from every sect in this empire are at least in the core formation realm which is the same as me..'
With a sly smile on his face, the man praised himself for being smart after coming up with a plan to deal with this situation.
