Nangong Yurou’s hands held tight to Ye Mo’s arm, as she angrily walked to the entrance and said, “You damn old man. You wanted to stop Ye Mo from entering the Treasure Trade Gathering?”
“Young…young lady.” When the treasure appraiser saw Nangong Yurou holding Ye Mo’s arm, his eyes almost popped out. “Young lady, what are you doing here?”
“Why can’t I be here? Tell me, why did you block Ye Mo from entering the Treasure Trade Gathering?” Nangong Yurou said angrily as her two cheeks bulged.
“Young lady, he didn’t let us examine his treasure,” the treasure appraiser said. “We couldn’t be certain whether it was real or not, so we didn’t let him enter.”
“What did you say? You dare say Ye Mo’s treasure is fake?” Nangong Yurou said.
“What? Ye Mo? The same Ye Mo who defeated the genius Wu Xin in one move?” That story had spread around the Castellan Estate. It seemed they had heard about it too.
“Humph!”
Nangong Yurou didn’t bother with the treasure appraiser anymore. She dragged Ye Mo inside and up to the second floor. This time Zhao Xin did not follow them. He wanted to rely on himself and get back his dignity on his own.
“Brother Ye Mo, thank you. Next time we meet, I think I will surprise you,” Zhao Xin said, as he turned and left the Divine Treasure Guild Pavilion.
The second floor wasn’t the crowded marketplace Ye Mo had imagined it to be. It was actually very elegant. In the middle of the hall were numerous tables. At every table sat strong powerhouses. Ye Mo and Nangong Yurou randomly chose a table and sat down. When they sat, a maid came and poured them a drink, smiling flirtatiously at Ye Mo.
“Weren’t you supposed to rest at home? What are you doing out?” Ye Mo said with a reproachful tone as soon as they sat down.
“I’m about to die of boredom staying at the house,” Nangong Yurou said. “Today’s the Treasure Trade Gathering, a rare grand event. I participate in it every year.”
“What’s the general rule for this Treasure Trade Gathering?” Ye Mo asked curiously.
“There are no rules here at the Treasure Trade Gathering,” Nangong Yurou said carefully. “To put it bluntly, it’s a place for the big clans to get allies. Even though there are hundreds of powerful people sitting here, I’m afraid more than half of them are people from the First Heaven Society.”
“Is the First Heaven Society that influential?” Ye Mo asked with surprise.
“The strength of today’s First Heaven Society is very clear,” Nangong Yurou said.
“Even the Door of Desolation can’t do anything about them. But unlike the Door of Desolation, the First Heaven Society works in the shadows. I don’t know who the trade head of this year’s Treasure Trade Gathering will be.”
“Trade head?” Ye Mo asked confused.
“It’s the person at this year’s Treasure Trade Gathering that will take out the largest number of treasures to auction,” Nangong Yurou explained. “But we can’t use bills to auction. To them, bills are just a number. We have to use a treasure of equal value to auction.”
“So that’s how it works.” Ye Mo nodded. Ye Mo secretly wondered whether or not his drawing could be sold for a good fortune. After all, no one would believe that this drawing was a picture of the shape of the Blood Devil Saber.
A mid-aged man walked towards the table and said loudly, “Haha! This time my Qianfang Clan has a good chance to become this year’s trade head. The treasures I brought will astound everyone.”
“Qianfang Clan? Isn’t that the big clan close to the Luosha Kingdom? This year they managed to take the title of trade head. It seems they have brought a large number of treasures.”
“The Qianfang Clan is a clan that refines weapons. They’re very talented. They don’t just refine weapons, but also armors.”
The mid-aged man walked to the table in the middle of the hall and sat on the trade head chair.
“Ahah! Today our Qianfang Clan brought five high-grade spirit weapons of defense treasures, five high-grade Spirit Weapons of body treasures, and a few mysterious treasures.” Looking at the astounded eyes staring at him, the mid-aged man from Qianfang Clan clapped his hands. Ten others from his clan brought the ten high-grade Spirit Weapons onto the trade head table.
With the appearance of these ten high-grade Spirit Weapons, many big clans looked surprised, even some of the disciples from the Door of Desolation. If these were just high-grade Spirit Weapons, it may not have caused a lot of attention. But they were defense treasures and body treasures. With one of them on your body, it could mean the difference between life and death at a critical moment.
When the Qianfang Clan’s clan leader scanned across the hall with his eyes, he saw people staring at him intensely. He gave a satisfied smile. Becoming a trade head meant he had the right to auction. Naturally, he would have the most benefit as well, even though he had to pay handling fees to the Divine Treasure Guild Pavilion.
“Everyone here, if you’re interested in any of these ten high-grade Spirit Weapons, then please name your offer.”
Ye Mo’s eyes stared at those high-grade Spirit Weapons. With his eyes, he could tell that these Spirit Weapons weren’t normal, but for him, they weren’t enough to attract his attention. His Caged Dragon Armor was the strongest armor, and his Caged Dragon Wings were the fastest.
Seeing Ye Mo staring at the Spirit Weapons, Nangong Yurou shuffled closer to Ye Mo and asked, “Ye Mo, what do you want? I’ll buy it for you.”
“If I want something, I can buy it myself. Besides, I’m not interested in these Spirit Weapons, though they aren’t bad.” Ye Mo patted Nangong Yurou’s head as he smiled. If this continued, he would be petty.
“Ye Mo, I just wanted to treat you better. You’re my savior. I still don’t know how to repay you.” Nangong Yurou pursed her mouth.
“You’re already pledged to marry me. How else do you want to repay me?” Ye Mo smiled before staring at the table again.
As expected, there were fierce competitions for the ten Spirit Weapons. Different clans, even the disciples from the Door of Desolation, all brought out their treasure to contend. The scene was very intense. The waves of people pushed the atmosphere to the max. The competition was more intense than any of the auctions Ye Mo had seen. Rank four pills, rank four seals, and even rare treasures and materials were brought out. It was definitely an eye-opener.
After half an hour, the ten high-grade Spirit Weapons were all auctioned off.
“Haha! Thank you everyone for showing kindness to the Qianfang Clan. These ten high-grade Spirit Weapons have successfully changed masters. Our next auction is not a treasure or a pill, but a person.” Qianfang Clan’s clan leader was very vague and everyone became doubtful. There was nothing rare about auctioning a person, at some auction places people would grab a few peerless beauties from rare races to auction. But at the Treasure Trade Gathering, the Qianfang Clan’s clan leader wanted to auction a person. Would this person be someone peculiar?
“Haha! Everyone must be wondering what kind of person would allow me to use her as an auction item at this Treasure Trade Gathering,” Qianfang Clan’s clan leader said as he clapped his hands. Two others from his clan slowly forced a slender woman onto the table.
The woman was beautiful, and she had a great figure but was not alluring.
“This woman here is a Luosha Maiden from the Luosha Clan of the Luosha Kingdom. Inside of her flows the purest Luosha Blood,” Qianfang Clan’s clan leader said loudly.
After he spoke, Ye Mo lifted his head. His pupils shrunk. In that instant, the woman also saw Ye Mo.
“Young master, save me!” The woman screamed.
