The news of the massacre of the Brothel House has been spread far and wide that it eventually leads to the owner of the Wooden House. The slywoman upon hearing the news became desperate and eager to leave the Wooden house. She heard the news of Mochou being eradicated, because of this she became more panicked that she decided to run far away from there.
She hastily packs up her belongings and valuable items to leave the place at that instant. But fate has another story written for her, before she could even escape from there, Xulan and Yutao have already reached the place. They barged in the wooden house. The slywoman upon seeing them was left horrified that she immediately drop all the stuff on the ground and instantly kneeled on the floor begging for her life, "Please! Please! Spare me! Spare my life!"
Xulan pointed his blood stain sword on the sly woman's neck and spoke up fiercely, "If you wish to live, better speak up. Where is the woman?! Where did you sell her?!"
The woman bows down her head and answered shakily, "Yes...yes..I'll tell you..! She is taken to the Auction house .....to be auctioned as a bride slave!"
Upon hearing her words, Xulan couldn't bear his anger anymore. He became even more furious that he scowls at the woman in frenzied, "Huh...! You lowly woman! How dare you to touch my little sister?!"
Acting upon his anger, Xulan immediately takes out his sword ready to slashes the slywoman. Yutao upon seeing his wild behaviour immediately stopped him, "Xulan! Don't! We need her alive to get intel on The Eagle bandit!"
Upon hearing his words the sly woman instantly bites her tongue and committed suicide. The sly woman instantly falls on the ground and stayed lifeless.
Yutao hurriedly rushed to check the woman's pulse and exclaimed bizzarely, "Huh?! She committed suicide just like that! Seems like we underestimate the Eagle bandit!"
Xulan glared at the woman and scoffed, "Tch...! Must be the Eagle bandit threatening all his subordinates to not utter a word"
He then moved out of the house in haste. He quickly untied his horse ready to leave the place anytime soon.
Seeing Xulan's hot-blooded behaviour, Yutao stopped him and asked him concerned, "Where are you heading?!"
Xulan replied with a solemn look on his face, "To the Auction House!"
Amused by it, Yutao spoke up teasingly, "Eh...?! The scaredy-cat Xulan is now willing to go to the Auction house without reinforcement?!!"
Xulan replied back unbothered, "I can't rest assure without seeing my little sister's face!"
Yutao hearing his words tried to make him take a second thought about it, "Xulan, Listen. The Auction House lies in the cave. The entrance of it is a narrow rocky path and besides that, the Eagle Bandit has a high influence over there. There must be a number of Eagle bandits guarding the place. We need to be careful. We can't just go there recklessly!"
Xulan glares at Yutao and spoke up in annoyance, "Then?! What am I suppose to do?! Stay here and do nothing while my sister's life is in danger?!"
Acknowledging that his friend Xulan is acting up in recklessness, Yutao tried his best to make him cool, "Let's wait for the reinforcement. It's the Auction House anyway, I'm assuming your sister must be put in treasure room for auction. They won't do anything to her and it will give time for us"
Xulan shake off his words and responded in stubbornness, "I can't wait. My sister life is at risk! You wait here for reinforcement!"
Xulan then settles down on his horse and drove off the place.
Yutao couldn't believe his eyes that he exclaimed in awe, "Tsk! This man acting recklessly always! I have to follow him!"
Yutao quickly took off from the spot and rode his horse at the fastest speed to catch up with Xulan.
Xulan upon seeing Yutao right behind him smirked and questioned in amusement, "Why are you here?!"
Yutao carefreely replied to it, "Oh! Someone wants to become a hero and I am assisting him"

On the other side of the story...
Xialin regains her consciousness. She slowly opens up her eyes and to her surprised found herself being tied down to an unknown place. She struggled hard to take off the red ribbon. Even though she struggles as much as she could, she was unable to take off the red ribbon.
Xialin became bewildered by it, 'Oh God! I am being kidnapped?!! What will they do to me?! Where is this place?! Is this the Auction house?! There are so many treasures! What happened to Bingbing and Lihua?! Are they also kidnapped and held to a different room?!'
So many questions were lurking around Xialin's mind, unable to find the answer she finally decided, "Whatever! I need to get out from here!"
Determined to escape from there she turned to look around the area in search for a sharp object like a silverware, tool or a sword. Finally, she found the one she's looking for, the divine sword of the late SwordMaster was laying on the wall. Xialin grinned to herself upon seeing it, "Found ya!"
She struggled to crawl over the sword. As she starts moving she heard the sound of someone approaching the room. Xialin quickly laid down her head on the wall and pretends to be unconscious. The men came inside the room bringing a big cauldron. They safely keep the cauldron on the table.
While keeping it, one of the men spoke up tiredly, "Who will buy this big cauldron?"
The other men replied seriously, "Don't underestimate it. It is not a simple cauldron. I heard it is for refining elixirs"
One of the men reacted to it, "Woah.... then this will be one with a number of bidders!"
As they continue talking the men turn around and caught their eyes on Xialin laying unconscious on the wall. One of the men came closer with his lustful eyes preying on her and clamoured in thrilled, "Wow, she is a beauty! I want to have a taste of her!"
The other men reacted in passion, "Not bad! Look at her skin so white and soft! She looks tasty! You can go ahead but be quick!"
Xialin overhearing their words clenched her fists trying hard to not expose herself. She was sweating over her whole body as she pretends to be unconscious.
Just as the men try to come closer to her, the guard came in and spoke up fiercely, "Hey! You there! What are you doing?! She is to be auction as a bride slave! Can you afford the price?!"
Upon learning it, the men murmured amongst themselves, "Tch..! What a waste! She is the bride slave to be auction today! We might be at loss! Quick let's get out from here!"
The men hurriedly left the place.
