Peerless Tang Sect: God Emperor Haotian

Chapter 80 Auction Invitation, An Unexpected Encounter with Zhang Lexuan (Please Subscribe)

Three days later, Ye Sen suddenly received an invitation. The invitation was exquisitely crafted, with a dazzling pagoda-shaped logo on the cover. Above the logo, several powerful characters stood out prominently.

Jiubao Chamber of Commerce!

These four words caused a hint of doubt to flash in Ye Sen's eyes.

His contact with the other party was limited to the previous transaction of thousand-refined red copper, and there was no other connection. Why would they send him an invitation out of the blue?

Ye Sen opened the invitation and checked its contents before realizing that it was actually an invitation to an auction.

Moreover, this is not an ordinary auction, but the highest-level Red-tier auction of the Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce, held only once every three years. The items up for auction are all rare and precious treasures.

Normally, red-level auctions are held at the headquarters of the Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce, which is also the Nine Treasures City where the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School is located.

This time, due to some special reasons, it was changed to be held at the Nine Treasures Merchant Guild branch in Shrek City.

"What does it mean that the Jiubao Chamber of Commerce sent me an invitation?" Ye Sen stared at the invitation with a puzzled look on his face.

He has no background, no money, and no special relationship with the Jiubao Chamber of Commerce. Why would he send himself an invitation?

"Could it be that the Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce has learned about my heroic deeds and outstanding performance, and they want to win me over, so they sent me this invitation?" Ye Sen wondered to himself.

If he really wanted to analyze the intentions behind the Jiubao Chamber of Commerce's move, this was the only possibility he could think of.

If there's anything about him that would make a behemoth like the Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce take notice, it could only be his talent.

"To go or not to go?"

Ye Sen looked at the invitation in his hand, lost in thought.

If he went, he used all of the 100,000 gold soul coins Chen Zifeng gave him for tuition to buy rare metals.

The only valuable things he has right now are those finished rare metals, which should be worth about 600,000 to 700,000 gold soul coins.

The problem is, without intending to reveal his Thousand Forging Technique, he can't very well sell this thing. Otherwise, wouldn't it be blatantly telling others that he has mastered a special forging method?

"Fine, let's go take a look. Even if we don't buy anything, we can still broaden our horizons."

After careful consideration, Ye Sen quickly made a decision.

The following evening, after having dinner with Jiang Nannan, Ye Sen left the academy alone and headed to Shrek City.

It wasn't that he didn't want to bring Jiang Nannan along, but Qing Shu had made it clear that each ticket to the Red-level auction only allowed one person to enter the auction venue and companions were not permitted. Qing Shu only had one ticket, so he had to go alone.

Upon arriving in Shrek City, with the bustling commercial street where the Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce was located just ahead, Ye Sen unexpectedly encountered a familiar face.

"Sister Lexuan?"

Ye Sen looked at the other person in surprise.

The newcomer was tall and slender, with cascading black hair, snow-white skin, and a delicate, captivating beauty. Her eyes were bright and lively, like the moon and stars; it was Zhang Lexuan.

What are you doing here?

Zhang Lexuan looked at Ye Sen with some surprise.

Ye Sen replied, "I was invited to attend an auction hosted by the Jiubao Chamber of Commerce. I don't know what they were up to, they suddenly sent me an invitation. I figured I had nothing else to do, so I came to take a look and broaden my horizons."

"And you?"

Zhang Lexuan replied, "I'm here to attend the auction just like you."

"The Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce usually only sends invitations to the inner courtyard for this kind of auction. I didn't expect you to receive one in the outer courtyard. It seems they must have heard a lot about your glorious deeds, which is why they made an exception."

"There are no glorious deeds involved."

Ye Sen shook his head helplessly, then suggested, "Shall we go together?"

Zhang Lexuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and replied, "Okay."

So the two of them walked together toward Jiubao Commercial Street.

"Sister Lexuan, how is your injury healing?" Ye Sen asked, glancing at Zhang Lexuan as they walked.

Zhang Lexuan gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and smiled, "It's nothing, I've already recovered. Elder Zhuang is the most powerful healing-type Soul Master on the continent; this kind of injury is nothing to him."

Ye Sen nodded, and then told her about how he skipped directly to the sixth grade.

Zhang Lexuan was clearly unaware of this, and upon hearing it, she looked surprised, then asked in confusion, "Why do you do this? You're only eleven years old, still very young, isn't it unnecessary to rush things like this?"

Ye Sen explained with a smile, "I'm already a four-ring Soul Master, and I don't want to waste time in my first year. There are too many courses in the first year, and it's already affecting the cultivation plan I've set for myself."

After a long silence, Zhang Lexuan said, "Your decision makes sense. Given your talent, the outer academy is indeed not suitable for you. Skipping directly to the sixth grade is a good option. That way, you can graduate from the outer academy at the end of this semester and then apply for the inner academy entrance exam."

"Inner Courtyard..."

"6

Ye Sen repeated.

Zhang Lexuan said, "You should know what the Inner Courtyard is, right? With your talent, the Inner Courtyard is the most suitable place for you."

Ye Sen let out a long sigh and said with a smile, "We'll see. There are still more than half a year left before the end of the semester, so there's plenty of time."

"Um.

""

Ye Sen's lack of an immediate and clear answer surprised Zhang Lexuan, but judging from her reaction, she obviously didn't think much of it.

This is normal, though; historically, no one would refuse to enter the inner courtyard.

Not to mention the Douluo Three Kingdoms, even the genius soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire yearn for the Inner Academy. In Zhang Lexuan's opinion, as long as Ye Sen is given some time to think, he will definitely make the right choice.

After passing through a bustling commercial street, the two finally arrived at the location of the Nine Treasures Merchant Guild's branch in Shrek City.

This is an exceptionally magnificent pagoda-like building, covering several thousand square meters and divided into nine stories, each over six meters high. In the entire Shrek City, it can be considered an extremely grand and ornate structure.

As a top-tier auction held only once every three years, the Nine Treasures Trading Company's preparations were extremely elaborate. Not only did they suspend all operations at this branch today to fully prepare for the auction, but the maids responsible for reception were also neatly lined up at the entrance. Each one was a beautiful and charming young woman.

The exquisite silver gown was clearly the work of a master, appearing extremely dignified and solemn at first glance. However, upon closer inspection, the fair skin subtly revealed beneath the perfectly placed openwork patterns was simply breathtaking, captivating the eye.

At this moment, even Ye Sen couldn't help but take a few more glances.

At that moment, Zhang Lexuan's voice, which sounded like a half-smile, came from the side: "Is it pretty?"

"Forehead!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Sen couldn't help but cough lightly, revealing a hint of embarrassment.

"The desire for beauty is universal!"

Ye Sen explained it this way.

Zhang Lexuan shook her head slightly and said helplessly, "These chambers of commerce are just so boring. If you're going to hold an auction, just hold your auction properly. Why do you have to do these irrelevant things? It's utterly boring."

Ye Sen chuckled and immediately changed the subject, saying, "It's getting late, let's go inside."

"it is good."

Zhang Lexuan nodded.

Then, amidst the cheers of many beautiful maids, the two entered the pagoda-like building before them.

A magnificent decoration comes into view.

Upon seeing the two enter, a man who appeared to be in charge immediately came to greet them.

After reviewing their invitations, the man wore a friendly smile and said, "Both of you are distinguished guests from Shrek Academy, and are among our most valued customers. If you encounter any funding issues during the auction, our company offers loan services with installment payments at very low interest rates."

"If you two are considering joining our Chamber of Commerce after graduating from Shrek Academy, we can waive a portion of your loans. The exact amount waived will depend on your cultivation level and talent. If your talent is sufficient, waiving the entire amount is possible."

"understood."

Zhang Lexuan nodded calmly.

Ye Sen's reaction was equally indifferent.

He has his own plans for his future development, and naturally he would not join any sect and work for them just for a little something.

Being an ox or a horse is enough for one lifetime.

In this life, he wants to do whatever he wants and be himself!
