With the final buyer of the stage four longsword confirmed, the entire auction finally came to an end.
Xiao Zhan, Xiao Bieli, and Xun Er were just about to return to the Xiao Clan when a receptionist suddenly came to inform them that the auction house manager, Rajore, had invited Xiao Bieli to the back hall for a chat.
Immediately, the three of them followed the attendant to the back hall.
Rajore sat on the right side of the seat of honor, while the seductive Chief Auctioneer Ya Fei sat on the left.
Seeing the arrival of Xiao Bieli and the other two, Rajore and Ya Fei hurriedly stood up to welcome them. However, Ya Fei's gaze towards Xiao Bieli was filled with splendor, causing Xun Er to be on guard.
He invited the three of them to sit down.
Rajore looked at Xiao Zhan and asked,""Patriarch Xiao, the divine weapon that was auctioned just now was put up by Young Master Li. Why are you also participating in the auction?”
"I didn't know about this beforehand, so please don't blame me."”
"That's right. I didn't tell Big Brother about this. Could it be that your auction house has a rule that the auctioneer or someone related to the auctioneer cannot participate in the auction?”
"No, I'm just curious." Rajore said.”
After a pause, Rajore continued,""Actually, I specially invited Young Master Li over because I have some matters regarding the auction to discuss with you.”
"Please speak."
"The final price of this divine weapon is one million gold coins. After deducting the 5% commission, our auction house should pay you 950,000 gold coins. Due to the large amount of money, the procedures are a little cumbersome. After the procedures are completed, I can directly withdraw the money for you.”
"Yes! The commission you charge is fair.”Xiao Bieli said," However, Big Brother and I still have some small matters to settle back at the clan. I'm afraid we can't wait that long. After you've settled the procedures, send someone to send it to the Xiao Clan.”
"Yes, that works too!" Rajore nodded. However, I still have something to discuss with Young Master Li. We intend to send the other six swords that you have hung here to the headquarters of the Jia Ma Empire for auction. After all, the rarer an item is, the more valuable it is. In a small place like Wu Tan City, if several similar divine weapons appear consecutively, it is likely that the price will drop. On the contrary, if these divine weapons were to be hung in the headquarters of the Imperial Capital, the price might be much higher with the demand of the huge market in the Imperial Capital. I wonder what Young Master Li thinks?”
Xiao Bieli said,"Do as you see fit!" Since I've hung these swords in your Primer Auction House, this is my trust in you. How you deal with them is up to you.”
"In that case, thank you, Young Master Li.”
After returning to the Xiao Family, Xiao Zhan immediately called for a meeting.
That Misty Cloud Sect's Yun Qing had come with ill intentions. Although there was a great expert like Xiao Bieli keeping watch, the necessary preparations still needed to be done.
Taking advantage of this moment, Xiao Bieli took out the Froststeel Star Pattern Gloves and handed them to Xiao Zhan. Once he put on the gloves, Xiao Zhan's five star Da Dou Shi cultivation was immediately raised to a one star Dou Ling. Although Xiao Zhan was mentally prepared, he was still shocked once again.
Instantly raising the strength of a five-star Dou Wang and those below it. What kind of concept was this? This was a height that many people could not reach even if they spent their entire lives.
More importantly, after wearing this pair of boxing gloves, Xiao Zhan directly crossed a large level and touched the threshold of the Dou Ling. Although he was not a true Dou Ling yet, this would be of great benefit to him when he attempted to break through to the Dou Ling class in the future.
However, Xiao Bieli didn't immediately give the two swords to Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning. This was because Xiao Bieli had his own considerations. On the one hand, he wanted to test the two of them. On the other hand, he did not want to give the two of them such divine weapons too early, lest it would encourage their arrogance and affect their strength.
Not long after, there was a loud explosion, and the Xiao family's door collapsed. A figure flew into the meeting hall like a kite with a broken string. This figure was the Xiao family's guard.
Xiao Bieli's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. His figure flashed and he instantly caught that guard. Next, he spat out a stream of Darknorth sword qi, and in the span of two breaths, the guard's injuries were mostly healed.
"Thank you, Young Master Li, for saving my life!" The guard said gratefully.
"You can leave now. Go to the accounts room and withdraw ten gold coins to nurse your injuries.”
"Yes, sir!" This guard looked at Xiao Bieli with reverence before retreating to the side.
Xiao Bieli's gaze was firmly locked onto the white-robed old man who was slowly walking over. This old man was none other than the Misty Cloud Sect's third Elder, Yun Qing.
"Xiao Zhan, come out and die!" Yun Qing had broken in the moment he arrived and injured a disciple of the Xiao clan. His expression was extremely arrogant and his words were extremely arrogant.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan's face was filled with anger. Just as he was about to step forward, Xiao Bieli blocked his path."Big brother, this old fellow has already advanced to the Dou Wang class after obtaining that long sword. You are not his match.”
"Yes!" Xiao Zhan pondered for a moment and then took two steps back.
"Xiao Zhan, quickly come out and accept your death. Otherwise, within three breaths, your Xiao family will be wiped out.”Yun Qing once again shouted. The pressure of a Dou Wang was also released. Instantly, everyone from the Xiao family trembled under this enormous pressure. The younger generation with slightly weaker cultivation even frothed at the mouth and fainted on the ground.
"Presumptuous! I'm afraid you're not qualified to ask my Xiao clan leader to come out and accept his death!”Right at this moment, Xiao Bieli shouted out. This shout contained a vast and supreme Darknorth sword qi, instantly breaking Yun Qing's pressure.
"I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be another clown from the Misty Cloud Sect. I did not even have the time to go to the Misty Cloud Sect to seek advice when you delivered yourself to my door. This saved me quite a bit of effort.”In order to prevent Yun Qing from killing him, Xiao Bieli took two steps forward and blocked the Xiao Family's path, leaving behind only his back view.
"Eh? Ge Ye that old brat was not lying. This Xiao Family indeed hid crouching tigers and hidden dragons.”Yun Qing could not help but be shocked for a moment when the pressure was broken. He even turned a deaf ear to the scolding of being a clown.
He sized up Xiao Bieli from head to toe. However, he could not believe that this seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth in front of him was actually able to break through his Dou Wang pressure so easily.
"Young man, who are you?"
Xiao Bieli said in a clear voice," This young master never changes his name. I am your grandfather, Xiao Bieli."”
Yun Qing's hair and beard were all white, and he had lived for more than a hundred years. Xiao Bieli was only eighteen years old, yet he actually called himself grandfather in front of Yun Qing. When the people of the Xiao Clan heard this, they found it funny and felt relieved.
Yun Qing's lips twitched as he suppressed his anger.""You are Xiao Bieli?"
"Old man, could it be that your eyes are blurry and your hearing has deteriorated? I clearly spoke so loudly just now, but you didn't hear me?”Xiao Bieli teased.
"You're courting death!" Yun Qing could no longer endure being humiliated by Xiao Bieli. With a wave of his sleeve, a majestic Dou Qi shot out and attacked Xiao Bieli. This Dou Qi was green-purple in color and its momentum was extremely ferocious. It was the Misty Cloud Sect's High Xuan Class Qi Method, the Green Illusion Sword Qi.
