The Ancient Rare Phoenix: Colourful Flames - Chapter 15
Hou looked at the auctioned items on the table. He carefully inspected each one by turning up and down, then rotating for few minutes like an expert but clearing faking it. He approvingly nodded at
the fatty who quickly left without looking back.
Hou picked the ancient twin dragon head cauldron and placed it in front of miss Nina. He slyly looked at her and winked.
Miss Nina delicately picked it up before putting it back then she appeared in front of Hou while alluringly smiling. She picked him and lower her head at his level before smooching on both cheeks who was resisting.
When grandpa Zong and Jia Kong saw them, they decided to pretend like they didnt see anything. Inwardly both were happily shouting.
Hou finally escaped and took a long breath. He glanced at the Blue Icy Volcanic Fruit. When he tried to pick it to eat, suddenly a strong hand quickly snatched it before him. He saw the fruit at grandpa Zong’s hand. He was puzzled by this reaction. He dubiously asked.
” Grandpa Zong, didn’t you buy that fruit for me? Why are you not letting me eat? ”
Grandpa Zong looked at him and honestly said.
” You cannot eat this fruit because you don’t have any cultivation to handle its terrifying Qi unless you want to die. Also i did not buy it for you but for your mother. ”
Hou shuddered when he heard that he would’ve died if he had eaten that fruit before it was snatched. He felt conned when he heard it was not for him but after he knew it was for his mother, he started not think about it.
After that he picked the old tattered beast skinned scroll and showed it to his grandpa. However he wasn’t really interested at all even though he said it was Fire Attribute skill at Low Heaven Mortal Grade. He quickly shot a glare at Jia Kong and miss Nina, saw them looking splendidly at his hand but did not see any greed on their eyes. He thought about that damn big sis Sissy then slyly smile without a smile.
Afterwards Hou and grandpa Zong parted with Jia Kong and miss Nina. But before leaving, Jia Zong pulled Hou at the corner and threateningly said.
” Little brat, if I hear any weird rumor about you, then you can forget meeting with Nina ever again. ”
Hou just rolled his eyes and watched their figures disappearing slowly. Finally Hou and grandpa Zong leisurely walked back to Clan.

At the VIP room no.1
Miss Lily and miss Rose were sitting together while the bald old-man stood just behind them silently.
Miss Lily was counting her gains from today while miss Rose sipped her tea.
Finally Miss Lily finished counting then looked at her sister. She gently asked.
” Rose, so when are you returning back to Rain Forest Academy? ”
Miss Rose nonchalantly replied.
” Sister Lily, Can you not ask me that? you know I just want to stay here with us, there aren’t any close people to me in the academy and those old geezers just keeps pestering me to cultivate all the time. Sometimes I don’t even get time to play at all. I really thought I wouldn’t be able to play anymore but when I heard you were here so I came accompanying Elder Yu who coincidentally was coming here. Elder Yu is here to meet the alchemist genius from Jia Clan so it’ll take few days before we could return back to the academy. Anyway let’s us go outside to play. I don’t wanna miss any moment. ”
Miss Lily helplessly followed after her sister.

Outside the auction house
Elder Mo, Elder Mu and discipline watched Hou leaving with grandpa Zong since they didn’t dare to come in contact without a plan. So they just waited for Grand Elder Chen.
After few hours, Grand Elder Chen pulled his mount, Two Headed-eagle Peak Earth Origin Realm to descended down from the sky. He floated just above the land before sprinting in front of them.
He quickly asked them to explain everything in the detail. After know that, he frowned but decided to go to visit Liu Clan.
He jumped back on his mount and motion rest to hop on while flying toward Liu Clan.

At the Liu Clan
After returning at his courtyard, Hou went back to sleep. While grandpa Zong and Mother Bing were seated next to each other. In front of mother Bing was the Blue Icy Volcanic Fruit.
Grandpa silently looked at mother Bing and finally spoke.
” I’ve no idea for why you need some many fire attribute resources but I’ll still try to get them as much as I can for you. I just hope when you are ready, you’ll let me know everything. ”
After he finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Mother Bing silently looked at her father leaving while softly sighing.
Suddenly someone appeared behind her with completely wearing green-cloth cloak. She kneeled and bowed at mother Bing then passing the sealed letter. Mother Bing slightly nodded before looking back at the sealed letter. While the person behind her had already vanished.
When she opened and read the letter, she went into daze and tears started pour down her eyes but she had a dazzling smile on her face.
On the letter it was only written:
“Xiu has passed the trial and you can come back anytime. ”
