Chapter 1540: Chapter 1540: Coming Up with a Plan
A voice resounded from Wei Feng’s private box, leaving everyone speechless. They knew that the Wei Family’s bid this time was to save face.
"Haha, well, the young master of the Wei Family is indeed a man of his word. When he says he’ll bid more, he does it, earning respect from everyone. Moreover, buying a Spirit Communication Jade Talisman worth fifteen hundred True Qi Pills for fifty thousand and one hundred True Qi Pills, that’s even more admirable. Well, the item is yours."
Xiao Yang laughed heartily in the box, indicating he would no longer bid. Hearing this, both Wei Feng and Wei Xuan shook with anger, nearly spitting blood!
After a long while, Wei Feng finally suppressed his rage, but still cursed coldly, "A pauper is just a pauper! All he can do is shout!"
"Hehe, whether I’m a pauper, everyone here knows. And whether you’re fools, everyone here knows even better."
Xiao Yang smiled again, "Spending fifty thousand True Qi Pills to buy a fifteen hundred Jade Talisman just to preserve some dignity, tsk tsk, only a genius could come up with such a plan."
Bang!
Just as Xiao Yang finished speaking, an explosion echoed from the Wei Family’s box, causing the audience’s faces to change. They saw the Wei Family’s box blow open, revealing two young men in purple robes standing angrily, staring at Xiao Yang’s box.
"Wei First Young Master! Wei Second Young Master! This is Baoying Pavilion, not your Wei Family mansion! You’ve now disrupted our auction house’s order. Please leave!"
At this moment, a shout resounded, coming from Chief Zheng Yuan of Baoying Pavilion. He then appeared before the two Wei Family young masters.
"Haha, getting desperate? If you can’t afford to lose, don’t try to compete with others. Your actions have truly disgraced the Wei Family."
Xiao Yang mocked once again, causing Wei Feng to spat out blood, and angrily shouted with bloodshot eyes, "Kid, you’re seeking death!"
"Wei Feng, what are you trying to do!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuan immediately shouted, and released the Fifth Level of True Power within him. Simultaneously, the sound of breaking air echoed as twenty True Qi experts flew out from within Baoying Pavilion, each at the Fifth Realm, looking at Wei Feng with indifferent eyes.
"Brother, stop!"
Seeing this, Wei Xuan shouted lowly, holding Wei Feng back, and addressed Zheng Yuan, "Chief Zheng, don’t misunderstand. My brother just lost his temper for the moment. He absolutely doesn’t mean to oppose Baoying Pavilion."
"Hmph, Second Young Master of Wei is sensible. If that’s the case, then please take the First Young Master and leave!"
Zheng Yuan snorted coldly, making Wei Xuan nod as he forcibly dragged Wei Feng away with his entourage, leaving in defeat.
As they left, the audience couldn’t help but look in shock at Xiao Yang’s box.
All alone, yet making the First and Second Young Masters of the Wei Family suffer so greatly, not only losing a significant fortune but also losing face!
No need to look further, just Xiao Yang’s actions showed them that the Zhengyang Sect has produced an exceptional genius.
"Hehe."
Xiao Yang secretly chuckled, knowing that the Wei Family now hated him to the core, and surely would plan to ambush him next.
Which was exactly what he wanted!
"Spirit Communication Jade Talisman, I’m going to get it no matter what. This thing helps me too much. If they ambush me, I’ll just steal it. In the end, they’ll not only lose face and wealth, but also be unable to keep a fifteen hundred Spirit Communication Jade Talisman. I want to see how the Wei Family remains dominant in Feng City after this."
As this thought passed through Xiao Yang’s mind, he fell silent.
"Sorry for disturbing our esteemed guests. Let’s continue the auction."
At this point, standing in the shattered box, Zheng Yuan announced, and the guests in the hall nodded, resuming the auction.
Chief Zheng Yuan then entered Xiao Yang’s box, earnestly looking at Xiao Yang, "Mr. Xiao, you’ve played a big trick on the two young masters of the Wei Family this time."
"Haha, they were the ones who provoked me first."
Xiao Yang replied with a smile.
"Indeed, they did provoke Mr. Xiao first. But Mr. Xiao teased them so harshly, it’s unlikely they’ll let it go easily." Zheng Yuan’s eyes flickered, "Is Mr. Xiao not afraid of them causing trouble?"
"If I were afraid, I wouldn’t act this way."
Xiao Yang’s smile widened, "Chief Zheng, since you know much about me, you should know what kind of person I am. Have you ever seen me fail to resolve any situation?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuan’s body trembled, and he nodded, "I understand. Still the same words, no matter what, Baoying Pavilion is always friends with Mr. Xiao."
"That’s natural."
Xiao Yang nodded with a smile, and Zheng Yuan exited directly.
The auction continued afterward, soon bringing Spirit Stones forward. Xiao Yang overwhelmed all others with wealth, purchasing a piece of Spirit Stone for thirty thousand True Qi Pills. His Gathering Essence Technique then fetched a high price of ten thousand pills, meaning Xiao Yang spent a total of only twenty thousand True Qi Pills.
When settling the account, Xiao Yang directly used Jubao Tower’s token for payment, ultimately keeping intact his twenty-nine thousand True Qi Pills, while effortlessly acquiring a Spirit Stone.
"Haha, Mr. Xiao, I’m truly impressed. Of the guests at Baoying Pavilion, nine out of ten come to spend. Yet Mr. Xiao came here without spending a single pill and got a Spirit Stone—this is a first."
In his box, Zheng Yuan laughed, expressing how immensely relieved he felt for befriending Xiao Yang. Whether it was Xiao Yang’s actions or methods, they all proved his brilliance, and Xiao Yang was still so young. Imagine what he could achieve in a few years?
"Haha, Chief Zheng exaggerates. How can this be called earning something from nothing? Your division of Jubao Tower in Fiery Sun City belongs to you guys; I spent thirty thousand True Qi Pills from Jubao Tower. Aren’t you still the ones profiting?"
Xiao Yang laughed heartily, "Merchants pursue profit as their duty. But pursuing profit doesn’t mean greed. Chief Zheng sold a Spirit Stone for thirty thousand True Qi Pills, already gaining a lot."
"Haha, Mr. Xiao’s not only skilled but also right in every word. I can only express admiration."
Zheng Yuan chuckled, "Anyway, it’s not worth discussing. Actually, the more outstanding Mr. Xiao is, the happier I am, as this means befriending Mr. Xiao was an incredibly right decision. You’re about to leave, right?"
"Indeed, it’s time to go. I’ve obtained what I wanted and still have lots to do at Zhengyang Sect."
Xiao Yang nodded with a smile, then stood up, offering a gesture of respect.
"Regardless, thank you, Chief Zheng, for your care."
"Haha, Mr. Xiao is always welcome to visit."
Zheng Yuan also returned the gesture with a smile, "Of course, before you leave, I still want to ask whether Mr. Xiao needs an escort? Regarding the Wei Family..."
"No need."
Without waiting for Zheng Yuan to finish, Xiao Yang replied with a smile, "I have my own ways to deal with it, so Chief Zheng needn’t worry."
"Very well, I’ll personally escort Mr. Xiao."
Zheng Yuan nodded, then made a gesture of invitation, descending the stairs. Xiao Yang followed him out.
The two proceeded onward swiftly, reaching the entrance of Baoying Pavilion, where after exchanging polite words, Xiao Yang turned and left directly.
Watching Xiao Yang leave, Zheng Yuan’s gaze shifted, then he commanded, "Convey my orders: have Baoying Pavilion’s members at Lianyun Mountain escalate their efforts to track Xiao Yang’s information. From now on, Xiao Yang is a key observation target for Baoying Pavilion. I want to know everything about him."
"Understood."
A voice immediately answered from behind Zheng Yuan, before a young figure flickered and vanished.
Simultaneously, Xiao Yang was proceeding, reaching a secluded alley near Feng City’s gate.
The alley was very quiet, hardly seeing a few pedestrians in half an hour. But as Xiao Yang arrived, thirty-some men wearing cloaks of various colors, yet exuding chilling auras, followed along.
