Ling Xiao laughed heartily in high spirits. He waved his hand and said, "You bunch of brats, don't scare my son's wife. When your son marries a wife, you can go and make a fuss. Now, I order the army to move out!"
Amidst the roars of laughter, Ling Xiao took the lead and rode out of the drill ground. Behind him, flags fluttered in the wind, and golden drums sounded. Rows of soldiers in bright armor followed behind him in an orderly manner. Their aura was heavy, and a faint killing intent shot up to the heavens!
Ling Tian raised his arms and shouted, "Victory and victory!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers raised their weapons at the same time and shouted, "Victory and victory!" Their voices were like thunder, rushing into the blue sky and causing landslides and tsunamis!
No one noticed that at this moment, Ling Tian's finger moved slightly, and a small ball of paper fell into the arms of a young soldier behind Ling Xiao. That young bodyguard nodded his head without batting an eyelid and followed the army.
Back at the Ling House, Ling Chen abandoned Ling Tian and hid in the small courtyard by herself to be shy. Ling Tian laughed heartily.
Old Lady Ling also shook her head and smiled helplessly, "Tian 'er, your actions today have greatly exceeded Grandma's expectations. But it's also in line with your daring personality. Sure enough … "
Ling Tian laughed and said, "Chen 'er has been with me for many years. Who can replace her?! I should have given her a status long ago. I feel that it's a bit late to do so now. "
Old Lady Ling smiled bitterly, "The Emperor has just bestowed the marriage, and you've already decided on Ling Chen's position in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and civil and military officials. It doesn't seem very good, does it? Even if you're not afraid of the Emperor's opinion, there's still your aunt and Jiaoyue. How are you going to explain this? Aren't you afraid that Jiaoyue will be jealous? "
Ling Tian's eyes flashed coldly, "How the imperial family chooses is their business. The matter of my aunt being poisoned is not over yet! The fact that I haven't settled the score with them is already magnanimous enough. As for Cousin Jiaoyue, whatever she thought was her business. If she wanted to be a woman of the Ling family, then she had to follow the rules of the Ling family! Even if the daughter of the Jade Emperor married into the Ling family, she would only be the daughter-in-law of the Ling family, not the princess of the Celestial Emperor! As for being jealous, hehe. "Ling Tian laughed." You will slowly get used to it. "
"Tian 'er, I feel that your way of thinking is not quite right." At the side, Chu Ting' er furrowed her brow. "As a man, if you can't even pacify your own woman, how can you call yourself a man?"
Ling Tian smiled bitterly. "Mother, cousin is not my woman yet, at least not now, isn't she? Right now, everything is still uncertain. It's too early to say these things. "
"Is it still uncertain?" Chu Ting 'er pondered over Ling Tian's words and couldn't help but be shocked. "The Emperor has already bestowed the marriage, how can it still be uncertain? Could it be that you …? " As she spoke till here, Chu Ting 'er was shocked by the words she was about to say!
Ling Tian chuckled and turned around. "These are also uncertain."
"Mother …" Chu Ting 'er was tongue-tied as she looked at Old Lady Ling. Old Lady Ling smiled helplessly. "Ting 'er, you really don't understand your own son. To think that I thought you were smart." After saying this, Old Lady Ling returned to her room, leaving Chu Ting 'er alone. She stood there in a daze, her expression alternating between joy and worry.
Just as Ling Tian had expected, the Xiao family's auction was also held at the Smoky Thea Tower. Gu XiYan had connected twelve buildings together. This kind of location was too suitable for such a large scale event!
However, there was an exception. Gu XiYan fully cooperated with the scholarly meeting and didn't charge a single silver. However, for the Xiao family's auction, Gu XiYan ruthlessly ripped them off. In just one day of the auction, she actually charged the Xiao family fifty thousand taels of silver! This price made everyone who knew about it drop their jaws in shock!
This made the Xiao family feel both puzzled and aggrieved. Why was it that other people didn't have to spend a single silver, but they were the ones who demanded an exorbitant price? However, since they had already decided on this location, the Xiao family couldn't afford to lose face if they were to choose another location. If others were to say that the number one conglomerate in the world, the Xiao family, couldn't hold the auction at the Smoky Thea Tower because they didn't have enough silver, they would become the laughingstock of the world. Thus, even though Xiao FengYang was infuriated, he could only swallow his anger. However, he still handed over the fifty thousand taels of silver. In his anger, he became more generous and directly rewarded the entire Smoky Thea Tower with ten thousand taels of silver. Didn't you want money? This daddy is rich! I can even smash you to death! Yes, that was what Second Master Xiao meant.
However, he didn't expect that Gu XiYan's expression didn't change at all. She accepted the money with a smile and thanked him profusely. However, she secretly said, "This mommy is a brothel owner. If I don't want money, what else can I want? If I don't take advantage of the Xiao family's longevity, wouldn't this mommy become a wooden club? Who would have thought that this Second Master Xiao wasn't an ordinary second generation? He actually rewarded them with ten thousand taels of silver. If he was thirty years younger, this mommy would really want to marry him into the family. Sigh, why did he reward them with ten thousand taels of silver? Why didn't he reward them with ten thousand taels of gold? Could it be that he really likes this mommy? Yes, that must be the case. This mommy definitely can't give this old fellow any face. If it's ten thousand taels of gold, there's still room for discussion.
In the end, Gu XiYan's words somehow reached Xiao FengYang's ears and caused him to almost vomit blood in anger! He almost lost his mind and went to reason with that woman. This daddy has worked so hard to conquer the world and in your eyes, I'm actually a second generation second generation? You want this daddy to marry into the family and you want me to be thirty years younger? This daddy is only forty-five years old this year and is in the prime of my life! Pei! Even if you were twenty years younger, you still wouldn't have the qualifications to be my concubine. Do you think I would like you? Unless my head was kicked by a donkey!
Of course, with Second Master Xiao's upbringing, it was impossible for him to say these words out loud. However, he kept them in his heart and almost fell sick from holding them in!
Ling Tian knew of Gu XiYan's actions and couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh. What kind of woman is she? She really won't let her enemies off at any time. Furthermore, she would use all kinds of methods to get her revenge.
How could Ling Tian not know of the hatred between Gu XiYan and the Xiao family? He knew that Gu XiYan would definitely use this opportunity to make things difficult for the Xiao family. However, he didn't expect that Gu XiYan would use such a vulgar method. However, such a vulgar method that reeked of money was what really made the Xiao family depressed! Everyone knew that the Xiao family was the wealthiest in the world and the thing they didn't lack the most was money. However, Gu XiYan just had to ruthlessly slap the Xiao family's face in terms of money!
It was really too high. Gao Lao Zhuang's high! Ling Tian couldn't help but gasp in admiration. This Gu XiYan was truly a genius when it came to dealing with people.
The Xiao family's auction this time was extremely secretive. They had advertised beforehand that there were only seven items to be auctioned this time. However, any one of the seven items could be considered a rare treasure. It was just that they didn't specify which seven treasures they were. However, everyone couldn't help but wonder what kind of rare items could be considered a rare treasure by the number one financial magnate in the world.
On the day of the auction, the atmosphere was unusually lively. All sorts of nobles, aristocratic families, royal families, and even some extremely wealthy merchants had arrived. The scene was even grander than the scholarly meeting! The Smoky Thea Tower had no choice but to purchase a few hundred wooden armchairs and place them inside. Of course, the cost of purchasing the armchairs was also included in the Xiao family's tab, and it was multiplied several times over. In Gu XiYan's words, the Xiao family was rich and definitely wouldn't care about a few tens of thousands of taels!
Under everyone's gazes, the Xiao family's auction officially began.
In the main hall of the Smoky Thea Tower, a small wooden stage was set up. A table was placed on top of it, and on top of the table was a simple hammer. However, the hammer was different from the rest. It was completely golden and shone brightly. It was actually made of gold! It was extremely wealthy. Just this hammer alone was already extremely valuable.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the little princess of the Xiao Clan, Xiao YanXue, stepped onto the wooden stage in a light yellow dress. She was really swaying gracefully, graceful like jade, graceful like a piece of jade, graceful and elegant, natural and unrestrained. Her peerless appearance and elegant temperament caused everyone's eyes to light up. When they saw Xiao YanXue, many of them felt that this trip wasn't in vain.
Even some of the wealthy merchants who had suffered greatly at Xiao YanXue's hands in the past couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the face of the world's youngest goddess of wealth. They had actually lost to such a young lady in the past?
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xiao YanXue didn't say anything else and directly started the auction.
Such a simple and direct way of doing things made Ling Tian admire her. Xiao YanXue's sweet voice rang out. "There are a total of seven treasures in this auction. As for which seven, everyone will know in a moment. Right now, this little girl can only guarantee one thing. That is, it will definitely not disappoint everyone. Each treasure is better than the previous one. Seniors, Brother Nian, please take a look. "
Everyone smiled. Xiao YanXue continued, "Three years ago, four pharmacists from my Xiao family were ordered to go to the Northern Snow Mountain to collect medicinal herbs. When they reached the peak of the mountain, there was a sudden avalanche and the entire mountain broke apart. The four of them narrowly escaped death and managed to keep their lives. However, after the avalanche, when they were climbing the newly broken cliff, they unexpectedly found three treasures." Xiao YanXue paused and looked at the crowd.
Immediately, someone couldn't hold back and asked, "What treasures? Which three treasures? "
Ling Tian chuckled. The person who spoke was so coincidental and asked the question that everyone was most interested in. Could it be that the Xiao family had arranged this beforehand? The people this auction was targeted at were all wealthy and respectable people. Who would be so impatient? However, if everyone was like Ling Tian and didn't say anything, then Xiao YanXue's auction would be a little awkward. That was why Ling Tian suspected that this person was arranged beforehand.
