Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

Although he understood Cai'er's feelings and knew that the blunt iron ring was the most important thing to her, it didn't stop him from giving her another gift.

Just like what happened today, Cai'er intended to come along, but she made that choice, so he can't let Cai'er feel disappointed.

Lin Xin understood Long Haoyu's thoughts. Seeing that Long Haoyu had put the jade hairpin into his ring, he didn't say anything, but just craned his neck towards the open door of the private room, hoping for a better future.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Not long after, Ye Weiyang, who had been on the auction stage, appeared at the door of the private room. He didn't come in directly, but just stood there in front of the door.

Looking at Long Haoyu and Lin Xin inside the private room, she said with a slight smile, "Little brother Lin Xin, may I come in?"

Seeing this, Lin Xin quickly got up and went to the door to greet her: "Sister Weiyang, you're too kind of me to say that, please come in!"

While speaking enthusiastically, he led Ye Weiyang into the private room: "Boss, this is Sister Weiyang. I have already told Sister Weiyang about the visit you wanted to make."

Seeing that Lin Xin had arranged things to this extent, Long Haoyu got up and walked towards Ye Weiyang: "Hello, my name is Long Haoyu."

Ye Weiyang smiled gently, extended her delicate hand towards Long Haoyu, and shook hands firmly with him: "Hello, my name is Ye Weiyang."

With a smile playing on her lips, Ye Weiyang spoke, then looked at Long Haoyu, especially noticing Wufeng on Long Haoyu's back, her smile becoming even more charming and alluring.

Long Haoyu was slightly surprised as he looked at Ye Weiyang's smiling face and compared it to the personality he knew of Ye Weiyang.

Suddenly, I felt a little unsure.

PS: To avoid any misunderstanding, I'd like to add that at this point in the original novel, Ye Weiyang and Han Yu weren't yet in a relationship. I remember in Chapter 364: The VIP Auction (Part 1), Han Yu even encouraged Sima Xian to pursue Ye Weiyang.

Chapter 187. Talking about Ye Weiyang, Ye Weiyang's conditions.

"Sister Weiyang, what are you looking at?"

Long Haoyu noticed that Ye Weiyang's gaze was strange at this moment, and Lin Xin, who was right next to Ye Weiyang, also noticed something was wrong.

Looking at Ye Weiyang's behavior with great suspicion, he couldn't help but ask.

Ye Weiyang smiled and withdrew her gaze from Long Haoyu, saying with a chuckle, "Lin Xin, didn't you say that Haoyu is one of the few people in the world more handsome than you?"

"As you know, your sister is still single. It's not a problem for me to take a second look at someone more handsome, is it?"

A seductive voice echoed in the private room as Ye Weiyang spoke, his expression subtly changing, making it seem quite convincing.

Lin Xin's expression stiffened, and the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably: "Sister Weiyang, that's not very interesting! Boss is indeed more handsome than me, but I'm not bad either!"

"In this world, only the eldest brother... well, and the eldest brother's twin brother are more handsome than me. I can take on ten of the others, okay!"

Lin Xin responded defiantly, but the more he spoke, the more his confidence waned, and he himself began to doubt it.

Ye Weiyang giggled and looked at Long Haoyu again: "Little Haoyu, do you think what your sister said is right or wrong?"

Her stunningly beautiful eyes stared intently at Long Haoyu, the ripples in them so obvious that even a single glance possessed an eerie quality that could steal one's soul.

Long Haoyu quietly observed Ye Weiyang's current state, feigning ignorance as he replied, "Sister Weiyang, you're right. In my world, only strength matters; strength is the foundation of everything!"

"As for appearance... I rarely care about that. If Lin Xin wants to be number one, I'm happy to give him the first place!"

???

You can have it to me, no problem?

Boss, are you even speaking human language?

Lin Xin was even more hurt, having been teased by Ye Weiyang on purpose, and now he's been hurt by Long Haoyu.

Lin Xin stood in the private room, feeling utterly hopeless. He suddenly felt like he was completely superfluous. Today was definitely not a good day!

"Really? Haoyu, you're so considerate! If I say you're right, then you're right? You're really making my heart flutter." Ye Weiyang continued to tease.

It was still that incredibly alluring voice, a voice that constantly tantalized Long Haoyu's senses.

However, faced with Ye Weiyang's unchanged attitude, Long Haoyu gave a new answer: "Sister Weiyang, the auction is over now. I think you don't need to use your highly persuasive emotional appeal anymore!"

"I have trained my willpower, and I am very confident in myself in this regard. I will not easily waver in my beliefs, nor will I easily become engrossed in things other than improving my strength!"

Long Haoyu was well aware that Ye Weiyang was someone he could get to know well, but the Ye Weiyang he was seeing now was quite different from the Ye Weiyang he knew.

With a cautious mindset, he was very composed now, after all, the current Ye Weiyang gave him a completely different feeling from Li Xin back then.

If Ye Weiyang were similar to Li Xin, he could let go of all his caution at this time and have a truly pleasant conversation.

Ye Weiyang chuckled lightly, completely unconcerned by Long Haoyu's unromantic words: "It seems that Brother Haoyu is indeed as rumored. Seeing is believing, which is quite a surprise!"

As she spoke these words softly, Ye Weiyang took her seat in the private room. She then looked at Long Haoyu and Lin Xin, who were sitting opposite her.

Her vibrant red outfit perfectly accentuated Ye Weiyang's curvaceous figure. Even just sitting there, she exuded a mature and alluring charm that was captivating.

Ye Weiyang stopped trying to manipulate her emotions and her tone became much more normal: "Brother Haoyu, I heard from Lin Xin that you came to visit me because of some things concerning my grandfather, Ye Wushang?"

"Indeed, the Sword God of Light was the strongest human two hundred years ago, and his swordsmanship should be at the pinnacle of human skill at present."

Long Haoyu replied in a deep voice, "Although I am a punitive knight of the Knight Temple, the greatsword we punitive knights use is also one of countless sword weapons, so I want to try to learn some of the sword skills of the senior Sword God of Light."

Ye Weiyang listened to Long Haoyu's words with a smile on her face, but did not immediately express her opinion after Long Haoyu finished speaking.

The entire private room suddenly became extremely quiet, so quiet that the sounds of staff cleaning up in the auction hall below could be heard.

“Brother Haoyu, my grandfather was the Temple Master of the Warrior Temple back then. Although he sacrificed himself on the battlefield of the Demon Clan, he did leave behind some sword-wielding skills.”

“Although our six temples are originally one, Brother Haoyu, you are, after all, from the Knight Temple. If I were to directly give you the legacy left by my grandfather, I’m afraid the higher-ups of our Warrior Temple would not agree.”

"I wonder, young brother Haoyu, what conditions do you intend to offer in exchange for these inheritances?"

After a long silence, Ye Weiyang began to speak seriously.

Long Haoyu and Lin Xin fell silent instantly, both understanding the meaning behind Ye Weiyang's words.

Long Haoyu has a deep understanding of this kind of thing. For example, Cai'er's great-grandfather always talked about having him join the Assassin's Temple.

The six great temples were originally one entity, but they also had their own interests, and it would certainly not be acceptable to easily give up those interests.

"Sister Weiyang, what do you want me to offer in exchange?" Long Haoyu passed the buck back to Ye Weiyang. He didn't want to fall into a trap easily and let Ye Weiyang take the initiative.

Ye Weiyang pondered for a moment and said, "How about you, Haoyu, offer yourself to my sister? That way you'll be my grandfather's grandson-in-law, and it will be a natural thing to take over the inheritance left by my grandfather."

Long Haoyu shook his head: "Sister Weiyang, if that's the condition, I'm afraid I can't comply. Besides, Sister Weiyang, you've been using your spiritual influence again, which isn't how we should talk business."

Seeing that her little trick had been seen through, Ye Weiyang covered her mouth and smiled slightly: "Little brother Haoyu is indeed so perceptive. Then I, your older sister, will be more serious."

"If you want the legacy left by my grandfather, I can give it to you directly. I can have it delivered to your residence tomorrow, Brother Haoyu, without asking for any reward or any action from you."

"However, under these circumstances, I don't know if you, Brother Haoyu, are willing to accept the goodwill I'm showing you."

Ye Weiyang spoke these words softly, and then stared at Long Haoyu with her beautiful eyes.

A faint smile remained on her face.

Chapter 188 Cooperation, A High-Stakes Gamble

The private room fell silent once again.

Ye Weiyang's breathing was slow and even.

Even with such a smooth sound, it still drowned out the breathing of Long Haoyu and Lin Xin.

Long Haoyu and Lin Xin remained silent, as if they had stopped breathing, pondering the words Ye Weiyang had suddenly uttered.

Long Haoyu was surprised by Ye Weiyang's sudden statement; the unexpected kindness did not make him lower all his guard.

"Sister Weiyang, you just said that I don't need to do anything now. Does that mean I'll need to do something in the future?"

Long Haoyu grasped the key point in Ye Weiyang's words and asked in return, "Does this mean that in Sister Weiyang's current eyes, I am not yet able to offer a corresponding equivalent exchange, and I, in the future, need to do it?"

Ye Weiyang nodded slightly, not at all surprised that Long Haoyu had discovered these key points in her words. If Long Haoyu hadn't noticed them, she would have been extremely disappointed.

"You could say that. After all, I'm a VIP auctioneer at the Holy Alliance Auction House now, and my life is pretty comfortable. I don't need anything right now."

"If you, Haoyu, refuse to repay me by offering yourself to me, then I'll have to find another way. When you are capable enough in the future, I will come back to ask for the reward for giving away my grandfather's inheritance."

“I think you can understand this, Haoyu. The principle of equivalent exchange is what auctioneers like me value most. Giving it away directly is definitely not an option.”

"Even if I agree, the higher-ups of our Warrior's Temple will not agree!"

Long Haoyu nodded. Ye Weiyang's words were indeed correct. The direct beneficiaries of what the Light Sword God Ye Wushang left behind would definitely be the Warrior Temple.

For example, even if the condition that only assassins can use Cai'er's Reincarnation Sword and Reincarnation Furnace are removed, the Assassin's Temple may not necessarily give up the Reincarnation Sword and Reincarnation Furnace.

At least, it shouldn't be brought up before a life-or-death crisis for humanity, but when that crisis arrives, it certainly will.

For example, if he were to give up some of what he currently possesses, the higher-ups of the Knights' Temple would certainly not be willing.

"Sister Weiyang's lack of conditions is harder to resist than her having conditions. No one can predict the future. If you, Sister Weiyang, propose conditions that put me in a very difficult position or violate my principles in the future..."

"When the time comes, Sister Weiyang, do you think I should keep my promise or break it?"

Long Haoyu answered calmly, while simultaneously tightening his clothes, revealing the emblem of the Knights' Temple.

As a member of the Knights' Temple, breaking a promise is unacceptable; it goes against the principles of being a qualified knight.

However, he was also unwilling to agree to things that he mentioned that might violate his principles without fully understanding them.

Ye Weiyang smiled and said, "Brother Haoyu is really cautious. My idea is simple: I just want you to take care of me when the time comes."

"As for the future conditions I mentioned, although I haven't thought about them yet, they certainly won't violate your principles or make things difficult for you in the future."

"If this makes things difficult for you or violates your principles, then this deal is off. In the end, it will be considered a unilateral breach of contract on my side, and it has nothing to do with you, Haoyu!"

Lin Xin was a little confused.

Things shouldn't have turned out this way, as he had anticipated.

However, he really couldn't quite understand the current trajectory of development.

In the depths of his being, he always felt that Ye Weiyang was playing a game of chess, and a very large one at that.

In this game, Ye Weiyang has risked everything, and he also wants to invite Long Haoyu to join the game.

"can!"

Long Haoyu replied, "Since Sister Weiyang has put it this way, I can understand that you want to gamble on the future."

"In that case, I can accept your condition, Sister Weiyang!"
