“Interesting… Zi Jinghu is known for spoiling his son. Who would have thought he actually sold his son in public like this?” Yu Rongxi curled her lips, watching the scene with great interest.
“If I have such a stupid son, I would slap his face even.” Jin Yang shook his head and glanced at Jin Mingzhe.
“Why are you looking at me, dad?” Black lines appeared on Jin Mingzhe’s forehead. He felt offended by that look of his old man.
“Finally.” At this moment, Huoyun Yurou said. Everyone turned to look at her in puzzlement before hearing a loud voice coming from the entrance.
“Not bad! It’s quite lively here.” A middle-aged man walked into the hall and nodded his head with satisfaction. As he appeared, the loud voice in the hall automatically died down and was replaced by a solemn atmosphere.
The newcomer was no other than Tianqi Junlai, the man with the highest status in the Nine Profound City.
Behind Tianqi Junlai were two old men clad in plain white robes. However, everyone knew that these two people possessed an unparalleled strength, that even the usually arrogant Zi Jinghu had to bow his head in front of them. They were Tianqi Yi and Tianqi Er, the two most powerful servants of the Sky Qilin Clan. 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘦𝑡
Seeing they were ordinary on the outside, in fact, they were already at the seventh level of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm. With them around him, Tianqi Junlai’s safety could be guaranteed.
The expressions of Jin Yang and Yu Rongxi changed drastically. Although they had anticipated this before coming here, they didn’t expect these two people to appear in an open manner like this. Evidently, the Sky Qilin Clan had no intention of playing at all.
Tianqi Junlai was accustomed to this kind of scene. He didn’t take it to heart and walked straight to the second floor.
While he walked past Yun Lintian’s room, he glanced at it briefly and said. “Congratulations on your breakthrough.”
Huoyun Yurou replied calmly. “How’s your father? Is he busy planting garlic like usual?”
Tianqi Junlai laughed slightly. “Father has long ignored worldly affairs. He is spending his time well. You don’t have to worry about him.”
“It seems you don’t know anything. Well, it’s understandable since your father and son didn’t get along well. Don’t you know that he sent his servant, Qi, to check on me not long ago?” Huoyun Yurou said.
Tianqi Junlai’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down. “Look at how ignorant I am. Thank you for informing me of this… Hope you have a pleasant time here. I’ll take my leave first.” Afterward, he walked away without looking back.
“I really hate him.” Yu Rongxi snorted in dissatisfaction.
“Without his father, he’s nothing.” Jin Yang shook his head slightly. He looked at Huoyun Yurou and asked. “By the way, Senior. Is it true?”
Huoyun Yurou responded with a hum. “When I stepped out of the Ancestral Land, I clearly perceived Qi’s aura. However, he had no other intentions aside from observing. Hence, I didn’t plan to do anything to him.”
Jin Yan touched his chin and said. “Tianqi Zongwei is a meticulous man. Since he sent his subordinate out like this, maybe we have to reconsider our plan again.”
“It’s unnecessary.” Huoyun Yurou said immediately. “He won’t come out until we show all of our cards. Before that time, all of you should run as far as possible. Bring your clansmen and leave this continent and go to the Northern Continent. There’s not much discrimination over there. Besides, I have a good friend there. She would be happy to help us.”
Jin Yan and Yu Rongxi fell into silence. Before coming here, they had prepared an escape route for their clansmen. However, they hadn’t yet chosen the destination. After all, going to the Central Continent was no different from committing suicide. Now, Huoyun Yurou said this, and they immediately came to a decision.
Buzz—
At this moment, the light in the hall suddenly dimmed, leaving the lamps around the platform. Everyone stopped talking and looked over, waiting for the auction to begin.
In the next moment, a charming woman in revealing clothes walked onto the platform in small steps. Her movement was gentle and elegant, immediately attracting everyone’s attention. Especially men.
As she stood on the platform, she swept her gaze on the crowd shortly and revealed a charming smile. “Hello, everyone. I’m Xiao Yue, the auctioneer for today.”
The crowd applauded loudly. From the looks of them, this Xiao Yue seemed to be a renowned figure in the Nine Profound City.
“She’s still working here?” Yu Rongxi was slightly surprised as she looked at Xiao Yue.
“You know her, Master?” Yu Jiao’er asked curiously.
“Mhm. She can be considered my apprentice.” Yu Rongxi nodded gently. “Don’t look at her charming appearance. In fact, she is the most venomous woman that I have ever gotten to know.”
“Her bloodline…” Yu Jiao’er frowned slightly.
“Bloody-Eyes Snake.” Yu Rongxi said.
“It turns out to be Bloody-Eyes Snake! No wonder her charm is so exaggerated.” Yu Jiao’er was surprised.
The Bloody-Eyes Snake was known for its hypnotizing technique. It was said they had a habit of seducing men and eating them alive.
Yun Lintian happened to know about this as well. It was no wonder he felt a strange mental power emitting from her.
“First of all, I would like to thank everyone on Young Master Pei’s behalf for attaching an overwhelming attention to this event.” Xiao Yue spoke. Her voice was extremely pleasant to hear. She looked at the crowd and said further. “I also have good news to inform everyone. Young Master Pei has decided to invite everyone to eat and drink for free the entire week to celebrate his incoming joyous event. Please give our Young Master Pei some applauses.”
The atmosphere was livened up instantly. The crowd excitingly applauded and looked toward Pei Xiewen’s room, expressing their gratitude toward him.
After a while, Xiao Yue raised her hand, and the crowd immediately quieted down. She spoke. “In order to not waste everyone’s time, I will now introduce the first item today.”
