45 -45: Meeting Li Lu Again
“Misunderstanding?” Huang Xiaolong sneered, “Are you sure now that the Cultivation Technique lost at your auction is not the Black Moon Technique?” In fact, Huang Xiaolong knew that the so-called misrecollection and the supposed loss of the auction’s Cultivation Technique were mere fabrications by the other party.
There was no such incident!
Lin Yuan forced a smile, uglier than crying, “Sure, sure, it was my mistake!”
Just then, suddenly, a shout came from outside, “Who has the audacity, the lionhearted courage, to cause trouble at my Dufeng Auction?” Following that, a series of footsteps, the sound indicating that many were approaching.
Lin Yuan’s face lit up with joy.
Next, a middle-aged man with a full beard and extremely thick eyebrows, leading dozens of people, burst into the inner hall.
The inner hall was spacious enough that it did not seem crowded even with dozens of people surging in.
Upon entering, the middle-aged man saw several guards lying on the ground moaning and his expression darkened.
“Chairman!” Lin Yuan saw the middle-aged man enter and scurried in front of him, “Chairman, save me!”
This middle-aged man was indeed Du Baize, the Chairman of Dufeng Auction.
“What happened?” Du Baize asked, his eyes turning cold.
Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, pointed at Huang Xiaolong and his companions, and said, “Chairman, while you were away some days ago, our auction lost an Advanced Mystic Grade Cultivation Technique, and it was these people who stole it!”
Advanced Mystic Grade Cultivation Technique?
Upon hearing this, Du Baize suddenly turned around and, with a slap, sent Elder Lin Yuan flying.
Lin Yuan screamed as he crashed into a corner of the inner hall.
The room fell silent, and Huang Xiaolong, Fei Hou, and the others were all taken aback.
Lin Yuan trembled as he climbed up from the floor, his mouth bloody, covering his left face, he looked at the Chairman in disbelief, “Chair, Chairman.”
“You mean to say, they stole our Cultivation Technique and then brought it to our auction to sell?” Du Baize asked coldly as he looked at Lin Yuan getting up.
Only a fool would believe such a glaringly flawed lie from Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan’s face turned redder, “Chairman, I, I…”
“Do you think I don’t know about the few incidents of forceful bullying and buying that you’ve been hiding from me recently?” Du Baize’s eyes were frosty, Lin Yuan heard this, his body trembled, his face turning pale, “Chairman, this is, is…”
“Enough, don’t say anything more, if it weren’t for your sister’s sake, I would have crippled you long ago.
Later, I’ll deal with you!
Get out!” Du Baize gestured with his hand, ordering someone to take Lin Yuan away.
Then, Du Baize turned to Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou, “I am Du Baize.
I apologize for not managing my subordinates properly, causing such an incident.
My apologies to everyone!”
“No problem.” Huang Xiaolong said, “Since things have been clarified, that’s fine.”
“May I know what Cultivation Technique the young brother wants to auction?” Du Baize asked, waving his hand to have all the guards who had rushed in leave.
Now that all misunderstandings had been cleared, Huang Xiaolong, no longer proud, sat back down and took out the Black Moon Technique.
“Advanced Mystic Grade Cultivation Technique, the Black Moon Technique.” Du Baize, looking at the Black Moon Technique that Huang Xiaolong took out, was surprised, just like Lin Yuan before.
“Correct.” Huang Xiaolong spoke, “I need money now, so I won’t auction it.
I would like to sell it directly.
May I know how much Chairman Du can offer?”
After a moment’s contemplation, Du Baize said, “Three hundred and fifty thousand.
I wonder what the young brother thinks of this price?”
350,000!
Huang Xiaolong was somewhat surprised.
If it were auctioned, this Black Moon Technique might fetch a high price of 350,000, but now he was selling it directly, and Du Baize actually offered such a high price!
However, in an instant, Huang Xiaolong understood Du Baize’s intention.
Could it be that the other party was offering such a high price as a way to forge a good relationship with him?
Right then, without hesitation, Huang Xiaolong sold the Black Moon Technique to the other party for 350,000.
A moment later, Du Baize personally escorted Huang Xiaolong and his three companions out of the auction house.
“Chairman, even though the Black Moon Technique is a high-level Mystic Grade Cultivation Technique, isn’t 350,000 a bit too much?” one of the elders cautiously spoke up from behind Du Baize.
“Moreover, they seriously injured our guards.”
Du Baize, watching the backs of Huang Xiaolong and his friends, had a profound look in his eyes and shook his head.
“You don’t understand.” He could naturally tell that Huang Xiaolong and his group were no ordinary figures.
If he could form a good relationship with Huang Xiaolong this time, he had a premonition that their auction house would reap greater rewards in the future.
After leaving the auction house, Huang Xiaolong and his group went directly to the real estate market.
After much deliberation, Huang Xiaolong eventually purchased a mansion called Heavenly Mystical Mansion for 250,000 Gold Coins.
This Heavenly Mystical Mansion was not far from the Marshal Mansion, just three streets away.
It took only half an hour to walk from the Marshal Mansion to the Heavenly Mystical Mansion.
The Heavenly Mystical Mansion was large, spanning nearly a thousand square meters.
This was also a major reason why Huang Xiaolong decided to buy this mansion because he planned to start cultivating and training his own forces from now on, and only a sufficiently large mansion would suffice.
Although he was now the Asura Sect Master, the Asura Sect was not a force he had established himself.
After purchasing the Heavenly Mystical Mansion, Huang Xiaolong, accompanied by Fei Hou and three others, went to the slave market.
Now that he owned his own mansion, he naturally needed to buy some servants to manage it.
A while later, when Huang Xiaolong and his group left the slave market, they had purchased sixteen servants.
Among these sixteen individuals, there were four Beastmen, two from the Elf Clan, and two Mountain Dwarves, while the remaining eight were from the Human Clan.
Seeing that Huang Xiaolong had actually purchased two dwarves, Fei Hou was somewhat puzzled, as it was uncommon for people to buy dwarves as servants, but since Huang Xiaolong was the Sect Leader, Fei Hou did not ask.
After exiting the slave market with the sixteen servants, Huang Xiaolong’s group did not return to the Marshal Mansion but went straight to the Heavenly Mystical Mansion.
Upon arriving at the Heavenly Mystical Mansion, Huang Xiaolong took a tour around.
The mansion had over a dozen large rooms and several courtyards, and at the back, there was a large square.
Overall, he was quite satisfied, but the mansion had been unoccupied for some time, so many corners and courtyards were overgrown with grass.
From among the sixteen servants, Huang Xiaolong selected a Beastman named Bo Li to be in charge of organizing everyone to clean and tidy up the Heavenly Mystical Mansion.
After completing all these tasks, Huang Xiaolong then led Fei Hou and the three back to the Marshal Mansion.
However, just as Huang Xiaolong was halfway back, he suddenly heard a familiar voice of surprise from behind, “Xiao Long!”
Huang Xiaolong was taken aback, turned his head, and saw a beautiful figure rushing toward him—it was actually Li Lu! freewebnσvel.cøm
Wasn’t Li Lu in Canglan County?
How had she come to the Royal City?
“Xiao Long, it really is you!” Li Lu rushed over, her face beaming with joy, then she hugged Huang Xiaolong.
A fragrant scent wafted into the air.
Huang Xiaolong gave a wry smile, never expecting to encounter Li Lu in the Royal City.
“Xiao Long, what brought you to the Royal City?” Before Huang Xiaolong could utter a word, Li Lu excitedly asked.
What brought me to the Royal City?
Huang Xiaolong was at a loss for words.
“Could it be that you’re here to enroll into Star Sky Academy?” Just as Huang Xiaolong was unsure how to reply, Li Lu asked.
