Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents

Chapter 620: Chapter 170: This Is the Jianghu, the Auction Begins (Part 2)

Anyone who Xie Fenghao is enthusiastically engaging with today is definitely no simple character.

Surely, in this world, those who like to make enemies everywhere are ultimately in the minority.

Ye Liuyun sat down on his side.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xie Fenghao left, as he still needed to welcome others.

Ye Liuyun didn’t think much of it.

However, he noticed that Xie Ling’Er on the other side seemed somewhat off, shifting in her seat, somewhat restless.

"What’s wrong, are you that excited?"

Observing Xie Ling’Er’s little movements, Ye Liuyun joked with a smile.

It was obvious he understood.

The reason behind Xie Ling’Er’s movements.

"Is it that obvious?"

In front of Ye Liuyun, Xie Ling’Er didn’t try to hide anything, she smiled awkwardly.

She leaned closer to Ye Liuyun’s side before speaking softly.

"Though I’ve thought before, that someday I would sit so close to the front, when that day truly arrives, it still feels a bit unreal!"

The seating arrangement in such auctions is quite particular.

The higher one’s status and the stronger one’s power, the closer to the front they sit!

Back when she first attended such auctions.

Xie Ling’Er was seated at the very back, in a position least valued by the family, standing as if a mere pawn.

Back then, Xie Ling’Er was determined that someday she would sit in the front, yet didn’t expect today she truly would be seated at the front.

Wondering about something.

Xie Ling’Er suddenly turned her gaze to the backmost seats, where a few of her acquaintances she met during family occasions were seated.

Some of them were looking at Xie Ling’Er with incredulous eyes, as if they couldn’t imagine how someone who once wasn’t valued like them could suddenly be sitting at the front.

"If you feel nostalgic, you can go over there and sit!"

Noticing Xie Ling’Er’s gaze.

Ye Liuyun said casually.

"No way!"

Upon hearing this.

Xie Ling’Er rejected without even thinking.

Joking aside, after managing to sit at such a position, why would she go back? That’s simply impossible.

Nostalgia is one thing, but actually going back is quite another.

"You’re bad!"

Knowing Ye Liuyun was just teasing her, Xie Ling’Er said indignantly.

Then she leaned closer to Ye Liuyun’s side, firmly believing that her original choice was the correct one.

,,,

Right during this banter.

The auction soon began, and of course, it wouldn’t be hosted by Xie Fenghao, the Xie family’s Patriarch, otherwise it would be too demeaning.

There were people within the Xie family specifically assigned to host such auctions.

Ye Liuyun was already tired of the opening remarks, completely unmoved, simply ordering someone to bring over a good pot of tea.

Others around were similarly indifferent.

Most of them were visibly impatient, wishing they could fast forward straight to the auction phase, but considering this was the Xie family’s groundwork, giving them some face, no one caused trouble.

"Next, is the first auction item!"

Finally, after a lengthy opening, they began the main event.

Originally unconcerned folks now became much more serious.

The first items auctioned would undoubtedly be rather ordinary, relatively simple ones.

However.

Looking at the exquisite Qinggong manual on stage, Ye Liuyun raised his eyebrows slightly.

It’s just remarkable that in the Xie family’s auction, such a precious cultivation technique could be the first one in line, implying that all items auctioned afterward must be better than this exquisite technique?

"One hundred thousand taels!"

"One hundred ten thousand!"

"I bid one hundred twenty thousand!"

,,,

The price quickly broke one hundred thousand.

And many continued bidding.

Understandably, rare cultivation techniques are hard to come by, especially Qinggong ones.

For many martial artists wandering the martial world, Qinggong techniques are valued far above those meant for aggressiveness.

After all, no one can guarantee eternal invincibility, they will inevitably encounter foes they can’t beat, and such moments, survival depends on Qinggong.

A great Qinggong manual is tantamount to an extra life.

It’s no wonder so many are vying for it.

"Master isn’t interested in this technique?"

Despite the ongoing bids, Ye Liuyun was quietly sipping tea, seeming uninterested in the exquisite Qinggong.

Xie Ling’Er curiously asked.

"Just an exquisite technique, it doesn’t concern me!"

Indeed, he was getting complacent.

If it were initially, Ye Liuyun would be concerned.

But now, the situation was starkly different.

Ye Liuyun currently lacks for nothing in techniques, besides, reaching the realm of Grandmaster, cultivating more techniques merely embellishes.

Unless it’s acquiring a cultivation like the Starfall Immortal Scripture, otherwise there isn’t much significance.

"I see!"

Xie Ling’Er’s cultivation hadn’t reached this realm yet, thus she wasn’t well-informed.

She simply nodded.

Anyway, in Xie Ling’Er’s eyes, if Ye Liuyun acts this way, he certainly has his reasons, so she refrained from asking further.
