Reincarnated as a demon from Douluo Continent, guarding peace in the human world.

Chapter 31 Temptation of Wealth and Beauty? Not Caring

Xiao led a large group of people to the grand auction house.

The people followed behind, full of enthusiasm.

Previously, the nobles were aloof and ignored the common people, but now Xiao is going to lead them to judge the nobles. This contrasting and novel situation is too exciting.

Qian Renxue followed behind Xiao, her face expressionless.

They were secretly overjoyed. Xiao was now at odds with the Heaven Dou Empire, and once the relationship broke down, the Spirit Hall could take advantage of the situation to recruit him.

Behind them, two figures followed closely.

Tang Xiao looked at Tang Yuehua, who was veiled beside him, and said helplessly, "Sister, why did you have to come? I can manage on my own, but that kid..."

Tang Yuehua looked at Tang Xiao with a quiet gaze and said:

"Brother, you still dare to say you were sent to protect Xiao? What did you do? You left without even understanding the facts. Now Xiao is going against the Heavenly Fighting Nobles for the sake of these people. Are you a coward who only cares about his own life?"

Tang Xiao was even more embarrassed. He had indeed acted improperly and had misunderstood Xiao.

Now, seeing what Xiao did, I'm even more amazed by his courage.

At least if it were Tang Xiao himself, even if he and Tang Hao had punished evil back then, he would never have gone to this extent.

He looked at the front of the crowd, but unfortunately, because Xiao was shorter than the average person, he couldn't see Xiao's head.

"I'm going to take this kid under my wing. When he's seriously injured by the Heavenly Dou Army, I'll step in and take him away," Tang Xiao promised, his word as good as gold.

Tang Yuehua nodded slightly. She still wanted to see it with her own eyes, otherwise she was afraid that Tang Xiao would cause some trouble again.

As the two were talking, the group had already arrived in front of the grand auction hall.

It seemed the auction house already knew Xiao was coming to cause trouble, as a man in splendid clothes, accompanied by a squad of guards, was waiting at the entrance.

They looked at Qian Renxue, and among the crowd, the court soul masters led by Qian Renxue were the most conspicuous.

"Your Highness, what brings you here? Is there anything we can help you with?" the richly dressed man asked in surprise.

Qian Renxue shook her head slightly and explained:

"Our peerless strategist is coming to investigate. You must cooperate with his investigation. Someone reported that Viscount Jack kidnapped young girls, all of whom were obtained from the Grand Auction House."

The man in the fine clothes paled, shaking his head repeatedly, saying, "No, how could that be? We strictly abide by the laws of the Heavenly Dou Empire! We would never do such a thing!"

"My esteemed sage, please do not listen to slanderous words!"

The man in fine clothes looked at Xiao and bowed slightly to him as a sign of respect, but not with excessive reverence.

Xiao calmly looked at the man in fine clothes, and from the other man's attitude, he could sense a sense of confidence and fearlessness.

It seems that the Grand Auction House has a powerful background. Even though Qian Renxue and others tipped them off and knew that they would come to cause trouble, they were not afraid at all.

This situation pleased Xiao even more; since the other party didn't think much of him, they wouldn't hide themselves too thoroughly.

Xiao said calmly, "I'm going to search the Grand Auction House."

"This..." The man in fine clothes looked at Qian Renxue with difficulty.

Qian Renxue smiled and said, "I've already said it, you must cooperate with Xiao Guoshi's investigation. As long as your Grand Auction House hasn't done those things, you have nothing to be ashamed of and are not afraid of his investigation."

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, the man in fine clothes changed his expression slightly, sighed, and suddenly looked at the common people who had followed him.

At this moment, the smile disappeared from his face, replaced by an unusually cold expression.

"Since Xiao Guoshi has come for you, and it was you who falsely accused our Grand Auction House... then if we find out who made the false accusation, we won't be so lenient!"

"But if you can acknowledge your mistakes and correct them, we can pretend this never happened!"

"You should know that our grand auction house is backed by the joint guarantees of over thirty nobles of earl rank or higher!"

The man in the fine clothes tilted his head back, looking extremely smug.

Similar to the Fighting Arena's business model, the Grand Auction House's owner is backed by many nobles.

With such a powerful background, it's not something just anyone can easily take advantage of!

As for a peerless national hero like Xiao, who was given a special miscellaneous official position by Emperor Xueye, they would not have allowed Xiao to enter the gate if Qian Renxue had not sent someone to remind him!

Now, threatening civilians is naturally even easier for them.

The common people all showed fear. They wouldn't fight against the officials, and they dared not really challenge the grand auction house.

Previously, since it didn't concern them, they could just watch the show.

But now that the grand auction house is clearly going to deal with them, they dare not follow Xiao around to watch the show anymore.

"It wasn't me! I didn't say that!"

"I never said that. The owner of the grand auction house is a great philanthropist who donates money to us! How could he possibly have anything to do with Viscount Jack!"

"That means I've never done anything like that!"

"..."

Everyone tried to distance themselves from the situation, fearing they would be implicated.

The man in fine clothes revealed a smug look on his face. Just as expected, they were nothing but a disorganized bunch.

What can an unparalleled national hero accomplish?

It was only to give His Highness the Crown Prince face; otherwise, a few people could have easily dismissed him!

"Xiao Guoshi, now you can leave, right? You have no reason to come and investigate anymore," the richly dressed man said with a forced smile.

He shrugged, as if taunting Xiao.

Weren't you just acting all high and mighty, saying you were going to investigate them?

What now?

You have no one left to support you!

Xiao glanced at him calmly, then turned back to look at the civilians whose faces showed fear.

"You don't need to be afraid, this matter will not involve you."

Turning back, Xiao's gaze returned to the face of the man in fine clothes.

"I came to the Grand Auction House to investigate not because of anyone's support, but because I wanted to do it. If you insist on finding a reason, then it's the He Pu Yuan in my possession..."

A flash of green light appeared, and He Puyuan appeared in Xiao's hand.

The moment the intense sharpness appeared, the man in fine clothes was so startled that he retreated several meters, a look of astonishment on his face.

From that chilling sharpness, he could sense that Xiao hadn't told a single lie.

If they resist, Xiao Zhen will probably poke a few holes in him!

"I...I..."

The richly dressed man retreated step by step, no longer daring to look Xiao in the eye.

Xiao then took several steps forward, pressing his opponent.

Finally, they all followed them to the door.

The man in fine clothes leaned against the door, his mind finally clearing. He had been forced to retreat here, and his face turned pale.

Xiao put too much pressure on him!

This is not a boy with a youthful face at all.

He is not a madman who can drive people to their deaths!

The man in the fine clothes gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "If you want to investigate, then come with me! I'll take you to see our boss first!"
