Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Bao Zuoliang begged several times and prepared tens of millions of spiritual jades as a betrothal gift to marry Wang Xinyan, but he was rejected by the Divine Nun of the East Sea on the spot. This old woman was as stubborn as the Deaf Nanny.
Facing the Divine Nun of the East Sea, Bao Zuoliang couldn't do anything even if he brought out his father Bao Farah. Even though he was the city lord of the same rank as Ling Yuanqing in name, he couldn't control the Divine Nun of the East Sea. At most, he could restrain the deputy city lord. The Divine Nun of the East Sea, who was the deputy dean of the academy, didn't need to pay attention to him.
If that was all, Bao Zuoliang had plenty of time to slowly grind. As the saying goes, dripping water can wear away a stone. As long as Wang Xinyan was in the Morning Star Academy, she would never be able to escape from his hands.
But now it was different. Suddenly, there was a shocking Lin Yi. Seeing how intimate this guy was with Wang Xinyan, Bao Zuoliang was furious. In his eyes, Wang Xinyan was already his woman. How could he let an outsider touch her?
Fortunately, his follower Su Kesheng was beside him, and he tried his best to calm him down. Otherwise, Bao Zuoliang would really attack Lin Yi in a rage. The consequences would be unimaginable.
"Master Bao, please don't be impulsive. As long as this Lin guy leaves, Wang Xinyan will still be in your hands. Don't get yourself into trouble." Su Kesheng used all his strength to pull Bao Zuoliang to an empty corner and whispered, "This Lin guy is a disciple of the North Island, and he doesn't look like he'll join our academy. He won't stay here for long. Master Bao, please bear with him for a while."
"Hmph! You know nothing! Wang Xinyan has always had this brat in her heart. That's why she wouldn't agree to me before. No matter what, I have to get rid of this brat. Otherwise, I'll never get Wang Xinyan in this life! "Bao Zuoliang said angrily.
"Ah? So that's how it is. Then how do we get rid of him? Even Qing Danzi is his disciple. If we aren't careful, we'll end up inviting disaster upon ourselves. When that time comes, even City Lord Bao might not be able to resolve it. "Su Kesheng frowned.
"I'll have to ask you this question. You're my most trusted advisor. You have to help me think of a way to get the best of both worlds. Not only will it be able to deal with this Lin, but it won't cause any repercussions." Bao Zuoliang looked at him and said. In the past, this kind of sinister matter was always handed over to Su Kesheng to handle, and every time it was done properly, so Bao Zuoliang trusted him even more.
"This … I'll have to think about it …" Su Kesheng rolled his eyes as he muttered, "The main thing is that this Lin guy's status is a little high. It's difficult to use the methods we used to deal with the other academy disciples on him. This guy is not only Qing Danzi's master, but also the honorary vice president of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. His relationship with the outside world is very solid …"
"Yes." Bao Zuoliang was also a little apprehensive about this. He was not a brainless fool, but he knew how to weigh the strength of the enemy and himself. If he could bully them, he would bully them to death. If they were too strong, he could only retreat. And Lin Yi obviously belonged to the latter.
"But then again, although this Lin guy has a very powerful background and is also a rare super alchemist, his strength is really not that great. He's just a Nascent Soul late stage. If you can fight him fair and square, you can kill him in one move, Young Master Bao. Tsk tsk." Su Kesheng analyzed.
"Yes, this is the only thing we can use, but I can't just go and challenge him like this, can I? A dignified Nascent Soul peak expert like me challenging a Nascent Soul late stage Nascent Soul late stage. Wouldn't that be a joke? I might even be looked down by Wang Xinyan! "Bao Zuoliang frowned.
"A direct challenge definitely won't work. Let's not talk about whether this Lin guy dares to agree. Even if he dares, the academy's higher-ups will probably come out to stop it. We definitely won't be able to take advantage of it." Su Kesheng shook his head.
"Then hurry up and think of some other way." Bao Zuoliang urged.
Su Kesheng pondered for a long while before clapping his hands. "I've got it. If we can't deal with this Lin guy ourselves, then we'll have to find a way to kill him with a borrowed knife. It's the auction right now, so let's see if we can do it through the auction. We need to think of a way to make him offend someone powerful!"
"Yes, that makes sense. Hurry up and plan, the next auction is almost here." Bao Zuoliang nodded.
"Master Bao, how do we plan this? We'll have to act according to the situation at the auction!" Su Kesheng shook his head with a bitter smile and scratched his head. "But we can do some preparatory work first. Maybe it'll come in handy."
"Alright, we'll do as you say." Bao Zuoliang nodded.
Lin Yi and the two girls didn't know that someone had their eyes on them. The only thing they did for the past few days was play around. It was worth mentioning that Lin Yi remembered Jiang Hehai's request and asked Wang Xinyan to help him ask about the female practitioner called Qin Yue. However, the reply he got was that she was in seclusion, so he put it aside for now. It wouldn't be too late to hand the Golden Soul Gathering Pill to her when he came out.
The auction was like a storm, and it became the topic of conversation for everyone in the city. As for Lin Yi, who was the main character, he became the hottest topic in Morningstar City. After three days, the main event of the Morningstar Auction was finally here. The individual auction that everyone had been waiting for had officially begun.
Lin Yi brought Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao to the first floor of Morningstar City. As one of the three heavyweights of the academy, the Divine Nun of the Eastern Sea didn't need any qualifications or spots to participate in this auction. However, she had no intention of coming.
In fact, it wasn't just her. Almost all the higher-ups of the academy, including Ling Yuanqing, Wei Hebei, Qing Danzi, and the others, didn't show up. This was an unspoken rule.
After all, no one was a match for them in terms of financial resources. If they participated, the individual auction would be reduced to a battle limited to the VIP boxes, just like the Chamber of Commerce's auction. Then, the auction would be a complete failure.
"I'm sorry, Young Hero Lin. The three of you still owe an entry spot." The staff suddenly blocked the path of Lin Yi and the others, attracting a large crowd to watch. After all, whether it was Lin Yi, Wang Xinyan, or Huang Xiaotao, they were all the focus of attention. Especially Lin Yi, who had been in the limelight three days ago. Now, everyone in Morningstar City knew about him.
"Is that so?" Lin Yi and the others looked at each other.
