Of course, it wasn’t hard to understand that the five-elements pharmacy didn’t try their best this time, but all the wealthy families and big merchants like the all-access banquet had tried their best to squeeze the Hong Chamber of Commerce out this time. This time, they had definitely made full preparations in advance.
However, even if all of them were added together, the number of Supreme-grade medicinal pills was only a fraction of the Hong Chamber of Commerce ‘s. This really made people speechless.
“Shopkeeper Hong, it seems that this time, not only will the Hong Chamber of Commerce not fail miserably, but it will also shine brilliantly. After making such a great contribution, I think your position in the Hong Chamber of Commerce will move up a bit. It’s really worthy of congratulations.” Steward song congratulated manager Hong in front of everyone.
“No, no, the auction hasn’t started yet. Butler song’s words are too flattering.” Hong Zhong said with a humble smile.
Although that was the case, any normal person would know that Supreme-grade medicinal pills were strategic materials that would never be left unsold. Even if the auction had not started yet, just the fact that more than 100 Supreme-grade medicinal pills had already been displayed was already enough to determine that the Hong Chamber of Commerce would definitely be at the top and become the biggest winner of this four-Island Auction fair. There was no chance of an accident.
In comparison, the other big Chambers of Commerce such as the all-powerful club and the all-access meeting were not worth watching at all. Even the five-elements pharmacy, which ranked first, could only stand aside this time. It was on a completely different level from the Hong Chamber of Commerce.
“It’s not a bad thing to be humble, but being too humble will make you look like a pretentious prick. Fine, I’ll hold a banquet for you after we’re done. Let’s catch up.” Steward song laughed and walked up to the stage. He would be the host of the four-Island Auction fair this time.
“This Butler song is really realistic.” Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile-the Butler wasn’t this friendly when he first saw hongzhong.
“This isn’t strange at all. It’s human nature. Lin shaoxia, you don’t know that this guy even made a deal with Wang Tong and the others to deal with our Hong Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Although he already knows that we took out 100 Supreme-grade pills, this method is too much! It’s just that, in comparison, he has a better relationship with our Hong Chamber of Commerce. It’s understandable for businessmen to pursue profits!” Hong Zhong had been used to this. He had been to the northernmost Island dozens of times, so it was normal for him to bribe some spies. The actions of the northern Battlefront Wei yesterday could not escape his eyes.
“Then he’s really a weirdo.” Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh.
Just as the two of them were talking, there was another commotion in the venue. The source of the commotion this time was the group of people from Nakajima who had entered.
Tian Huan! Lin Yi’s eyes focused on the yellow figure. It was the same as yesterday, still wearing yellow clothes. If the sky was dark yesterday, there was a slight possibility that he was mistaken, but this time, Lin Yi was 100% sure that this woman was Tian Ji!
As for Lin Yi’s gaze, tianshuo didn’t react at all, just like last night. It could be attributed to the fact that there were too many people around, but Lin Yi believed that she must’ve seen him already. She just ignored him on purpose for some reason.
At this moment, Lin Yi’s eyebrows twitched. He saw a red-haired man standing out from the Nakajima group. His expression was frivolous, and he was about to reach for Tian Ji’s waist!
Lin Yi couldn’t hold back his anger anymore. He could already guess that this person was the reason why Tian Gang didn’t want to acknowledge him!
It’d been half a year since he’d come to Sky Class Island-it wasn’t a long time, but it wasn’t a short time either. In this completely foreign and cruel world of cultivation, anything was possible.
It was understandable for women from the secular world to get together with other men in order to find a backer. If Murong Zhen, a woman from a heaven class island village, was like this, what more people from the secular world? It wasn’t hard to understand why Kang Zhaoming was sucking up to him!
It was just that, while others could do it, for Tiangang … As far as Lin Yi was concerned, it was impossible! The relationship between the two of them was built on the line between life and death, so it shouldn’t change so easily.
However, even the usually calm Lin Yi couldn’t hold back the anger that burst out from the bottom of his heart.
“Young hero Lin, don’t be impatient!” Hong Zhong, who was beside Lin Yi, instantly sensed Lin Yi’s movement and quickly held him down with one hand. He didn’t know why Lin Yi was so agitated, but he knew that if Lin Yi lost control on the spot, even he wouldn’t be able to save Lin Yi.
With Hong Zhong’s strength, it was more than enough to suppress Lin Yi. With Lin Yi’s restraint, no one else noticed anything.
“I’m fine. ” In an instant, Lin Yi had regained his composure. He saw that Tian Gang had avoided the red-haired man. This meant that Tian Gang didn’t want to be with the red-haired man!
As long as tianshuo didn’t do it willingly, then everything else was just floating clouds in Lin Yi’s eyes. It couldn’t disturb his state of mind at all.
“It’s good that you’re fine. Lin shaoxia, no matter what you want to do, this old man will help you. But you have to be aware of the situation, act according to your ability, and wait for the opportunity to act. ” Hong Zhong consoled.
Lin Yi’s heart warmed at the words. He and Hong Zhong were originally just business partners, but now they’ve become good friends. For a businessman like Hong Zhong to say something like this, it meant that he didn’t help him for nothing.
“Do you know who that red-haired man is, manager Hong?” Lin Yi asked.
Hong Zhong took a closer look and replied,””I’ve seen that man a few times in the Nakajima headquarters. His name is Zheng Tianjie, and he’s from the hall of alchemy. His grandfather seems to be the Deputy Hall Master of the hall of alchemy. His qualifications and connections are extremely deep, and his status in the hall of alchemy is extremely high.”
“Zheng Tianjie? In that case, he’s also a proper third generation cultivator. ” Lin Yi nodded, deep in thought.
With the arrival of the Nakajima people, all the forces had arrived. Under the loud introduction of steward song, the rare four-Island Auction fair finally opened its final curtain.
Generally speaking, at the beginning of any auction, the items put up for auction were only the appetizer, but all the good things were always left for the finale.
However, the four-Island Auction fair this time was far superior to the previous north-island auctions in terms of scale. Even if it was only the first auction item to be brought out, it was no small matter.
“Sea demon youngling. The starting price is three thousand spiritual jades.” After steward song said this, the whole place fell silent. Everyone stared at the tiny and thin figure in the cage.
