Peerless Tang Sect: Snow Empress Adopts and Intercepts Jiang Nannan

Chapter 74 We can't afford to offend Ye Xuanxin!

"It looks a bit like the aura of the Snow Empress, when there is no snow during the Great Cold."

"If you're interested, you can buy it; it'll probably be a great help to your soul tool making."

Hyotei's voice reached my ears.

Ye Xuanxin nodded.

He was indeed very interested.

A ranking engraving knife is of great help to a Soul Master.

Moreover, most of the soul power circuits he possesses that can be used to create soul tools are ice-attribute.

And this carving knife happens to be of the ice attribute, which suggests that it could provide him with considerable convenience.

"How is it? Is little brother Xuanxin interested?"

Ju Zi, observing the expression, asked with a smile.

"Um."

Ye Xuanxin pressed the buttons next to the table and chairs that were used for bidding a few times.

Auctioneer Xue Xiaoxiang on the auction stage suddenly stiffened.

He immediately flashed a big, bright smile.

"The VIP in VIP room number one has bid 2.5 million gold soul coins!"

"Are there any other VIPs making bids? Any higher bids?"

Upon hearing this, countless eyes in the auction hall turned to the No. 1 VIP room where Ye Xuanxin and the others were located.

Unfortunately, they couldn't see anything.

This private room is completely enclosed.

"Wow! Who's so rich?"

"A mid-ranking engraving knife would cost at most 1.7 to 1.8 million, so this is a 40-50% markup?"

"Isn't this a terrible misfortune?"

"Are there many very strong Soul Masters in the Douling Empire?"

"Never mind, I was actually thinking of getting one for my son!"

"Hey, I remember this VIP room number one is mostly reserved for royalty. Which member of the royal family is in there today?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard anything about it."

After a brief uproar, naturally no one was willing to make an offer.

Xue Xiaoxiang was not annoyed and maintained a big smile.

This was already a huge profit!

It's not one of those carving knives that sells for tens of millions, and given that the Soul Guidance atmosphere in the Douling Empire isn't very strong to begin with, the appraiser at the auction estimated that this carving knife would be lucky to sell for 1.5 million.

"Two and a half million is a first!"

"Two and a half million, for the second time!"

"Two and a half million for the third time!"

"Congratulations to the VIP in VIP room number one for successfully bidding on this carving knife!"

"Distinguished guests, this auction has now come to an end."

"The winner of the bid, please come backstage to collect your item."

"You're welcome in the future too."

"."

Ye Xuanxin turned off the soul guidance screen in the private room.

"Tsk! That's incredibly extravagant!"

"However, the soul guidance atmosphere in this Douling Empire is really too bad."

"If this carving knife were in the Sun Moon Empire, it would probably fetch a high price of three million at auction."

"Ju Zi sighed."

"That's called a lack of ambition."

"But it doesn't matter. Soul tools will definitely be the future trend of the entire Douluo Continent. All those who can't keep up with the times will be left behind."

"In the end, they will all be swept into the dustbin of history."

"Especially a weak country like the Douling Empire, its gates will inevitably be blasted open by the soul-guided cannons."

Ye Xuanxin commented.

"You're being too blunt."

"I've heard that Sister Nan Nan is from the Dou Ling Empire. She must be feeling uncomfortable, right?"

Orange wrapped her arms around Jiang Nannan's delicate arm.

Jiang Nannan is a quiet person and is not used to Ju Zi's enthusiastic behavior.

"I'm fine."

"The Douling Empire is just one of my birthplaces."

Jiang Nannan shook her head.

"Doesn't your country have the concept of patriotism?"

Orange was taken aback.

Is this girl really that kind of person?

"There is a saying about patriotism."

"It's just that the Douling Empire is not my country."

"It is the emperor's country, the country of nobles and aristocrats, but not my country."

"So I don't need to love it."

Jiang Nannan said in a calm tone.

She and her family have never benefited from this so-called country in the slightest.

Only the upper-class aristocracy relentlessly oppressed and tormented them.

If Ye Xuanxin hadn't saved her and her mother, she probably would have been violated by that young master of the Xuanming Sect long ago.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Ye Xuanxin, a flicker of emotion crossing her eyes.

The orange opened its mouth.

He wanted to say something, but then immediately fell silent.

Compared to the Douling Empire, the Sun Moon Empire has a relatively better life for ordinary people due to the development of soul tools.

But essentially there is no difference.

Ye Xuanxin couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene.

In a fantasy world where talent can be inherited through bloodline, the law of the jungle prevails, and ordinary people have no way out.

In other words, Douluo Continent is a fantasy sewer, which is why it has a feudal imperial system, which is a relatively civilized system with a slightly more palatable approach to corruption.

Just as the people in the private room were each lost in their own thoughts.

Suddenly, a knocking sound rang out.

"Young Master Ye, you have several other distinguished guests. I am Xue Lingyu."

"Please come in."

Xue Lingyu pushed open the door and entered.

He held a tray in his hands, with a respectful smile.

"Gentlemen, these are the auction items you won."

She handed the tray to Ye Xuanxin.

Ye Xuanxin's eyes sharpened.

He reached out and took the carving knife.

A chill ran up my arm.

It's not piercingly cold; on the contrary, it clears the mind and eliminates distracting thoughts.

That's quite remarkable.

A satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"Okay, I'll give you the money."

"No! No need!"

"You're a VIP! This transaction will be on our behalf at the auction!"

"You don't need to pay!"

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

"Haha. Consider this a good connection we've made. I hope you won't hold a grudge about what happened in the Douling Empire these past few days."

Xue Lingyu certainly knows how to handle people.

They previously only said there would be no handling fees, but now they're offering a completely free transaction, which is a pleasant surprise.

Although 2.5 million gold soul coins were nothing to Ye Xuanxin.

But isn't it foolish not to take advantage of a good deal?

His smile brightened.

"Of course, of course, then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

"Haha, you deserve it."

"Oh, by the way, did you find any of the soul bones I showed you earlier that you liked?"

"If it exceeds the agreed-upon three pieces, I can sell it to you at market price, what do you think?"

"No need."

"I chose three soul bones."

"A 43,000-year-old Phantom Rabbit left arm bone, a 39,000-year-old Spirit Gathering Vine right arm bone, and a 5,000-year-old Fire Element right arm bone."

A hint of surprise flashed in Xue Lingyu's eyes.

She hadn't expected Ye Xuanxin to choose that five-thousand-year-old soul bone. She had only wanted to make up the numbers, since, as far as she knew, this person probably wouldn't need a fire-attribute soul bone.

Of course, since they made the choice, she wouldn't raise any objections.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll have someone bring it to you right away."

"Oh, and one more."

"This is for you!"

As she spoke, she handed over another purple-gold card.

"This is?"

Ye Xuanxin reached out and took the card. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, clearly made of an extraordinary material.

"This is the highest-level Purple Gold VIP card of our Douling Auction House."

"Our auction house has branches in major cities of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms and Mingdu of the Sun Moon Empire. With this card, you can enjoy the privilege of purchasing items at market price without auction at these branches, and you also have a credit limit of 20 million gold soul coins."

"We hope you will visit our auction house more often."

"No problem, no problem."

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer. There's a hotel upstairs, and you can check in for free with this card."

After speaking, Xue Lingyu bowed.

He turned and went out.

Only then could I breathe a sigh of relief.

Turning around, I encountered a middle-aged man with a fair complexion and no beard.

"Father-in-law."

"How's it going?"

"Everything was done as His Majesty commanded, with utmost respect and without the slightest impoliteness."

"But Father-in-law, I don't quite understand. Although this person performs exceptionally well on the field and is a great genius, he is, after all, a member of the Sun Moon Empire. What value does he have for us? Why should we want him?"

"Don't ask any more questions; it won't do you any good."

Xue Lingyu immediately shut up.

Although her surname is Xue, her bloodline is too far removed from that of the emperor.

The middle-aged man nodded.

He turned and left.

Sometimes, it's not necessarily the ability to win someone over that makes them valuable.

Having sufficient destructive power is also a kind of value.

He saw it with his own eyes.

The Grand Princess's death, forced to the point of suicide by her own husband, was incredibly tragic.

How the emperor could throw tantrums in the palace, yet dared not speak out against it.

Ye Xuanxin has a super Douluo backing her up, besides the Sun Moon Empire.

The reason they are so respectful is simply because they cannot afford to offend the Douling Empire.
