Situ Changfeng heaved a sigh of relief after obtaining Ye Qiuâs agreement.
It was too scary. If he didnât set the starting price well, who knew if he would slap him? That was a slap from a Paragon. If it landed on his body, feces would splash out.
Damn it, this business was terrifying. Iâve never done anything so exciting in my life. Iâm all wet from sweating.
âAlright! Perfected One, if thereâs nothing else, Iâll go down and make the arrangements. The auction will begin soon.â
Ye Qiu waved his hand and sat back in his chair, indicating for him to leave.
Lin Qingzhu and Zhao Wanâer sat obediently beside him. After Situ Changfeng left, they were also filled with anticipation. They wondered what kind of high price those treasures could fetch.
During the long wait, more and more people entered the auction house.
At this moment, Ye Qiu heard a commotion outside the door.
âPrince Gong, there are already honored guests in the Heaven-class private room. You canât go in.â
âHonored guest? Hmph, who is more qualified to sit inside than me, the Prince of Liyang?â
A disdainful voice sounded. The door to the private room opened and a rich old man in luxurious clothes walked in.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhao Wanâer frowned when she saw this person enter.
Lin Qingzhu sensed her heresy and asked softly, âJunior Sister, whatâs wrong? Do you know this person?â
Zhao Wanâer hesitated for a moment and said, âYes, I know him. This person is the Prince of Liyang. His surname is Zhao and his name is Fu. In terms of seniority, I have to call him uncle.â
Lin Qingzhu suddenly understood. So that was the case.
It was normal for Zhao Fu not to recognize Zhao Wanâer since they were wearing masks.
âThen why didnât you go up and acknowledge him?â
Lin Qingzhu said innocently. Zhao Wanâer rolled her eyes at her and said with a smile, âSenior Sister, although we are related by blood, there is no kinship in the royal family. Besides, Iâm a girl. Iâm not liked or familiar with anyone. Thereâs nothing to recognize.â
Lin Qingzhu nodded. She understood this a little and felt indignant for Zhao Wanâer.
âWho is this esteemed guest that dares to snatch my private room?â Zhao Fu walked in arrogantly and looked around. He automatically ignored Lin Qingzhu and Zhao Wanâer, thinking that they were just ordinary maidservants. He directly locked his gaze on Ye Qiuâs back.
âHmm?â At first glance, Zhao Fu frowned and muttered, âWhy is it a young man? Could he be a disciple of some big clan?â Thinking of this, he was instantly delighted. If he was the disciple of an ordinary big clan, this matter would be easy to deal with.
Ye Qiu slowly turned around and looked at him with a faint smile. He didnât say anything.
A steward beside him hurriedly came up to explain, âIâm sorry, I didnât stop him and let him break in.â
The steward was extremely afraid. Just now, when Situ Changfeng left, he had repeatedly instructed him to treat Ye Qiu well, that he had to treat him like his own father. If he got angry, the entire Treasure Pavilion would be finished.
Who would have thought that no matter how he tried to persuade Zhao Fu, he would insist on barging in? They could not stop him even if they died.
The steward felt bitter.?If you want to die, donât drag me down with you. Iâm still young.
Ye Qiu waved his hand and didnât say anything. He gestured for him to step aside and looked at Zhao Fu, wanting to see what he wanted to do.
Zhao Fu seriously sized up Ye Qiu and more or less determined his identity.?He must be a young master from a certain family. He didnât have much ability, but he liked to show off and pretend to be impressive. He wanted to use the best in everything. He must have spent a lot of money to buy this private room, right?
After thinking about it, Zhao Fu pretended to be friendly and said with a smile, âLittle brother, which family are you from?â
âI am the Prince of Liyang, Zhao Fu. I took a fancy to this private room first. Can you give me some face and let me use this room?â
It had always been the royal familyâs way to be polite before resorting to force.
Ye Qiu was stunned when he heard that the other party was the Prince of Liyang. He looked at Zhao Wanâer.
Zhao Wanâer nodded and admitted his identity.
If it were anyone else, they would probably be scared to death. However, it was not very useful to him.
Ye Qiu said indifferently, âPrince of Liyang? Hmm⦠get lostâ¦â
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Fuâs face darkened.
Ye Qiu didnât give him any face after hearing his background. In this situation, either he had a powerful background or he was a young master who had just left home and had never been beaten up by society.
Zhao Fu calmed down and said gloomily, âMay I ask where you are from and what your name is? How dare you look down on my Liyang Dynasty?â
Ye Qiu was getting impatient. He slowly stood up from his seat.
At this moment, Situ Changfeng hurriedly ran in. When he saw Ye Qiu stand up, Situ Changfeng broke out in cold sweat.
Oh my godâ¦
Are you trying to scare me to death? I just left and youâre already here. Donât you know that Iâm very fragile inside? I canât stand this kind of stimulation. Fortunately, I came in time! If I was a step late, this Prince Gong would probably die here today.
âPerfected One, Iâm sorry. I made inappropriate arrangements and allowed someone to spoil your mood. Perfected One, please calm down. Iâll settle it, Iâll settle itâ¦â
Situ Changfeng hurriedly walked up to apologize and gave an attitude of resolving everything. At this moment, he was already drenched in cold sweat. He almost died before he could catch his breath.
One had to know that any rumors he heard about Ye Qiu were all rumors of him beating up other big shots. He had even destroyed the Immortal Mountainâs Holy Land just like that. If he angered him, he would also destroy the Xunyang Pavilion.
At the thought of this, Situ Changfeng wished he could kill Zhao Fu.?Why did you have to find this great god?
âShopkeeper Situ, what do you mean?â Zhao Fu was very unhappy when he saw Situ Changfeng fawning over and apologizing repeatedly to Ye Qiu as soon as he entered and putting him aside. He was a prince. Could he be worse than a brat? Did this Situ Changfeng become stupid from doing business? Instead of curry favor with him, a prince, he wanted to curry favor with a brat?
Situ Changfeng was very unhappy when he heard him speak first. He originally wanted to comfort Ye Qiu and explain to him. Now that he had taken the initiative to jump out, he could only deal with him first.
Situ Changfengâs expression changed. He turned his head to look at Zhao Fu and said, âPrince Gong, Iâm really sorry. There are already distinguished guests from Xunyang Pavilion sitting in this Heaven-class private room. Please move to another private room.â
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Fuâs face darkened. He did not expect Situ Changfeng to not give him any face. He was also curious. What kind of background did Ye Qiu have to make Situ Changfeng curry favor with him?
He was a little cautious. He knew Situ Changfeng quite well. He was the manager of the Xunyang Pavilion in Guangling City and the Treasure Pavilion for many years. He had seen all kinds of people, but he had never seen him treat someone humbly before.
Zhao Fu looked deeply at Ye Qiu and didnât say anything. He turned around and left the private room. As soon as he walked out of the private room, he instructed his follower, âGo and investigate. Find out where this kid came from. I want to see whatâs so special about this guy that even Situ Changfeng would lower his voice.â
At this moment, in the Heaven-class private room.
Ye Qiu watched as Situ Changfeng finished dealing with this matter and smiled. âWanâer, are all the princes of Liyang like this?â
Zhao Wanâer curled her lips and said, âI donât know. I donât understand these unclesâ characters. However, Master, if you want to deal with him, you donât have to worry about my feelings. Other than my brother, Iâm not familiar with the so-called royal familyâ¦â At this point, her gaze became playful. âItâs good to beat him up. Itâs best to beat him up into a pigâs head so that he wonât be arrogant every day.â
Ye Qiu was instantly amused.?This wretched girl. He was your biological uncle. How could you sell him just like that?
Ye Qiu smiled faintly. He didnât take the farce just now to heart. What so-called prince? To him, he was just a small fry who could be destroyed with a flick of his finger. He was not worth his attention. Just now, he did not make a move because he was worried about Zhao Wanâer.
Ye Qiu said to Situ Changfeng, âShopkeeper Situ, I donât want this to happen again. Do you⦠understand?â
Situ Changfeng broke out in a cold sweat when he heard Ye Qiuâs calm tone. These seemingly casual words gave him immense pressure.
Experts at their level were temperamental. One could not figure out their thoughts at all. Perhap he would be given a slap because of something he did not do well.
âUnderstood, understood. Perfected One, donât worry. I promise that such a thing will never happen againâ¦â Situ Changfeng said with lingering fear.
Ye Qiu nodded and let him get busy. He didnât make things difficult for him. After all, he still had to rely on him for the rest of the business.
At this moment, in the Earth-class private room, Prince Gong, Zhao Fuâs face was gloomy after he sat down. The more he thought about what had just happened, the angrier he became.
âDamn it! Which familyâs kid is it that doesnât even give me face?â He angrily pounded the chair. At this moment, a servant hurried in.
He said with a troubled expression, âYour Highness, we went to investigate just now and didnât find any useful information. I wonder where this guy came from. He doesnât look like a descendant of an aristocratic family.â
âWhat?â Zhao Fu frowned when he heard this.
âImpossible. Situ Changfeng was so polite to him just now. His background must be extraordinary. Continue investigating. Investigate thoroughly. If you canât, donât come back in the future.â Zhao Fu said ruthlessly. The attendant was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. He hurriedly left the private room and continued to investigate Ye Qiu.
However, how could he have known that Ye Qiu wasnât from the secular world to begin with? He was the peak master of the Heaven Mending Sect. If he was a little bolder and investigated in this direction, he might be able to find some clues.
Unfortunately, he firmly believed that Ye Qiu was a descendant of an aristocratic family and had to find a young master who was recently active in Guangling City to take the blame.
