Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents

Chapter 623: Chapter 171: Truly a Newborn Calf Fears No Tiger _2

But right now.

Upon learning that the ones who had tested Ye Liuyun not long ago were two elders of the family.

Xie Ling’Er realized that all of this was orchestrated by Patriarch Xie Fenghao, and bringing Ye Liuyun to the Xie family’s treasure vault would likely make Xie Fenghao not slightly enraged, but immensely pleased.

After all.

In this way, it could be considered establishing a relationship with Ye Liuyun.

"Smart!"

Seeing Xie Ling’Er like this, Ye Liuyun chuckled lightly.

It’s better to be smart; Ye Liuyun doesn’t like fools. Of course, the main point is that Ye Liuyun is confident that with his prowess, no matter how intelligent a woman is, he can manage her.

...

"Hasn’t the auction begun yet?"

Backstage of the auction.

Although Xie Fenghao had appeared initially, he hadn’t shown himself since.

In fact, Xie Fenghao had been standing backstage, observing the happenings of the auction.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun hadn’t bid on any item, Xie Fenghao couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

He had previously said that if Ye Liuyun fancied anything at the auction, he would pay for it, partly as an apology and partly to establish social exchange.

But Ye Liuyun hadn’t bid on anything, which was somewhat problematic.

"Perhaps he didn’t think anything was worth it!"

Xie Fenghao mulled over this silently.

He recollected the information he had gathered.

Ye Liuyun is not some impoverished knight with nothing to his name, relying on robbing to survive.

Backed by the Great Qian Dynasty, he holds a significant position, and whatever he desires is but a word away, lacking nothing. It is normal for him to not fancy the items at the auction.

"Looks like he needs to pick from the treasure vault!"

However, Xie Fenghao was not disappointed.

Even if these items aren’t of interest, it’s not like the Xie family has only this much to offer. The vault contains accumulations of the Xie family over centuries, there’s bound to be something that catches Ye Liuyun’s eye.

As long as Ye Liuyun picks something, the social exchange will be deemed successful.

Things afterward should become simpler.

With this in mind, the gloom on Xie Fenghao’s face dissipated substantially.

But at this moment.

"Patriarch!"

This was when a Xie family member nearby suddenly called out softly to Xie Fenghao.

"Hmm?"

While fantasizing about the possibility of the Xie family advancing further in the future.

His thoughts were abruptly interrupted, and when he came back to reality, his expression showed evident displeasure.

"What is it?"

Noticing Xie Fenghao’s somewhat off mood.

The Xie family member hesitated not a bit and quickly pointed to a direction, cautiously speaking to Xie Fenghao.

"Pa... Patriarch! Look over there, should we intervene?"

Originally he just had something of a temper.

But when following the pointed direction and taking a look, Xie Fenghao’s face immediately darkened.

"That useless thing!"

...

Just moments ago.

At the forefront was the son of the Sword Demon Celestial Frenzy. Seeing the long spear and cultivation technique on the auction stage.

He finally couldn’t resist and was about to raise his hand.

However, at the moment he lifted his hand, he was suddenly stopped by a nearby attendant.

Being the Grandmaster’s son, attending the Xie family’s auction naturally meant he wasn’t coming alone; he was accompanied by an attendant, whose cultivation had reached the late-stage Innate realm.

"Young Master, though these items are decent, Master mentioned focusing solely on saber skills. Cultivating too many things can lead to being scattered and unrefined!"

Being referred to as the Sword Demon.

Indicates exceptional skill in saber techniques, yet his son has little talent in swordsmanship.

Not to mention being Innate; he isn’t even a Postnatal Martial Artist.

However.

Sword Demon Celestial Frenzy is stubborn. If his son doesn’t inherit his sword skills, what’s the use?

No matter how little talent, he must practice the sword, practice it to death.

"If you don’t tell my father, how will he know!"

Tian Zheng’s face showed discontent.

This attendant was his father’s subordinate, not loyal to him.

"My talent isn’t in swordsmanship. Once I obtain this spear technique and weapon, I can already break through Postnatal, even reach Innate. My father will surely value me again!"

Tian Zheng was getting anxious.

It’s inevitable; his mother passed away early. Initially, his father valued him, personally guiding him in swordsmanship.

But in recent years, seeing Tian Zheng has no talent for swordsmanship, despite still forcing him to practice, there’s a hint of wanting to abandon Tian Zheng.

Furthermore.

His father recently married a concubine and had another son.

This made Tian Zheng even more anxious.

Being newly born, once he grows and shows swordsmanship talent, his father might truly abandon Tian Zheng.

Thinking of this.

Tian Zheng was becoming impatient.

His ability to attend this Xie family auction was a hard-won opportunity, after begging his father for a long time.

Besides wanting to demonstrate himself to his father, he also hoped to see if there was anything suitable for him at the auction.

Right now, Tian Zheng felt this long spear was perfect for him.
