Yu Chen Hai laughed heartily, and his expression was sincere. It was as if he had already known what had happened earlier like the back of his hand, and he knew that his people were in the wrong.
However, Su Ming did not think so. No matter how strict a family's rules were, there would definitely be members of the same bloodline who would protect them. If he did not ask about the situation, he would not understand the situation. His expression had been dark just now, and he looked as if he was about to attack to test Su Ming's strength, but because of Su Ming's divine ability, his attitude had completely changed.
If something goes wrong, something bad will happen.
"Guest?" Su Ming asked flatly.
"The Yu Family is one of the many families in Black Ink Planet. We have our own auction hall, and we are ranked in the top three among middle-sized auction halls. Fellow Daoist Su, if you are willing to become a guest, you will be given thirty thousand crystals as an offering every month. You will also have a white jade plate, and you will be able to enjoy discounts and honorable treatment in our family's auction hall.
Also, we will provide you with an immortal's cave within our territory. The immortal's cave is filled with spiritual energy, and as long as you don't go overboard, we will agree.
Furthermore, my Yu Family will not hold Fellow Daoist Su back in any way. Fellow Daoist can leave at any time, and there is nothing for Fellow Daoist Su to do. As long as you can lend a hand at a critical moment, it will be enough. Furthermore, every time you lend a hand, there will be a reward.
What do you think? " Yu Chen Hai said with a smile. In his eyes, there was only Su Ming, and he did not look at the old man from his family who was sealed by the side. In fact, to Yu Chen Hai, Su Ming, who had the seal that could seal those in the middle stage of World Plane Realm, was far more important than a lot of people. He might not have the right to invite others to become guests, and the requirements for becoming guests were incredibly strict in all families. Not only did they need to go through a thorough investigation, they also needed to be at the level of a Sect Elder in the family to have the right to invite them.
However, when he thought of Su Ming's Sealing Art, Yu Chen Hai's heart burned with passion. As long as Su Ming agreed to it, he could investigate it after the matter was over and use his own resources to help him gain the right to become a temporary guest.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, aren't you afraid that I am someone with ulterior motives? Isn't it a little too childish to invite me in such a hurry?" Su Ming's expression remained as calm as ever, and he smiled faintly at Yu Chen Hai.
A glint appeared in Yu Chen Hai's eyes, but the laughter on his face grew stronger. As he shook his head, he wrapped his fist in his palm towards Su Ming.
"Brother Su, you have doubts in your heart. I have indeed been rash in this matter …" When he said these words, Yu Chen Hai hesitated for a moment. Once he looked at Su Ming again, he spoke resolutely.
"I won't hide it from you, Brother Su. I don't have the qualifications to invite you to be a guest elder, but I can invite you to be a temporary guest elder.
"Brother Su, even if you truly have ulterior motives, I will still take a gamble and bet that I will trust you." Yu Chen Hai's expression was incredibly sincere as he bowed deeply towards Su Ming.
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details, "Su Ming said flatly.
"Although I am a direct descendant of the family, my position is not high. I am indebted to the kindness of my elders, who finally granted me the right to host this auction. However, there are very few people who can help me, and I am even lacking an expert in sealing.
"That is why when I saw your Sealing Art, I wanted to recruit you. I hope that you can forgive me for the things I said just now," Yu Chen Hai said sincerely. He was certain that Su Ming was not intentionally trying to get close to him, because Yu Chen Hai had also just learned that he would be hosting an auction. It was impossible for his competitors in his family to arrange for a stranger with extraordinary power to get close to him in such a short amount of time.
More importantly, it was an accident that he had been able to relocate to this place and meet Su Ming. The one who should have been here should not have been him, but his father. However, he had come in Su Ming's place, and as a Sect Elder, his father would naturally not harm his son.
Besides, based on some clues, Yu Chen Hai could tell that Su Ming did not seem to know just how important Sealing Arts were in Black Ink Planet, but there were still some hints about this. After all, he had chosen to seal right from the start.
"You need someone who is skilled in sealing?" Su Ming looked towards Yu Chen Hai.
"Brother Su, this must be the first time you've come to Black Ink Planet, right? There are plenty of people who know Sealing Arts in Black Ink Planet, but there aren't many who can seal cultivators in the middle stage of World Plane Realm.
"With your Sealing Art, you will be valued highly by all the auction halls. In fact, if there's someone who can recommend you, you can even go to the three large auction halls.
"Forget the fact that my family members can't invite a powerful warrior like you, even in the Yu Family, there are only three people who can do what you did.
"If that's the case, then what do I have to worry about? I hope that you can help me, brother Su. I will definitely thank you greatly." Yu Chen Hai looked at Su Ming sincerely and waited for his answer.
Su Ming fell into a moment of pensive silence before he asked slowly, "You still haven't told me how to use the Sealing Art you need."
"Sealing the treasures that will be auctioned off. This time, I won't be able to invite the three guests who are skilled in sealing in the auction I'm hosting. There are only a few guests under the command of the elders in my family, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult for them to satisfy me.
"This time, I'll be auctioning off a large number of treasures from the alien races, and I'll need a powerful warrior who is skilled in sealing to seal them so that they won't go through any sort of mutation," Yu Chen Hai quickly said. In truth, he had only said half of what he wanted to say. Naturally, he would not tell Su Ming everything. This time, the Yu Family's auction would be the first official competition of their generation.
There would be six auctions in total, and each of them would be hosted by six people. None of the elders in the family would provide too much help. How much they could do would depend on their own abilities.
This matter would also affect the status of the six of them in the family in the future. The open and hidden struggles had already begun a long time ago.
In fact, the items that would be auctioned off would also be determined by their strength. For example, if they recruited a cultivator who could seal those in the initial stage of World Plane Realm, then they could apply to auction off some treasures that required someone to seal by their side.
If they recruited a cultivator who could seal those in the middle stage of World Plane Realm, then they could apply to auction off treasures of even higher quality. Besides, Yu Chen Hai was certain that if he could auction off a treasure of this level, then his chances of standing out among the six people would be incredibly high.
"As long as you agree to it, then I am willing to give you five million crystals as an early thank you. Once the auction is successful, I will give you another ten million crystals to thank you, brother Su.
"Brother Su, don't worry. The first rule of the Yu Family is that we will definitely keep our promises!" Yu Chen Hai wrapped his fist in his palm once again.
Right when Yu Chen Hai said those words, the unconscious bald crane beside Su Ming opened its eyes swiftly, and a brilliant light that looked like crystals shone in them. It was so excited that its body started trembling once again. It wanted so badly to immediately agree to this.
However, just as it was about to open its mouth and agree on Su Ming's behalf, it saw Su Ming glaring at it. It immediately swallowed its words, but its heart was aching so much that it felt as if it was bleeding.
"Crystals … My crystals …" The bald crane lowered its head dejectedly, looking as if it had been wronged. A focused glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He did not expect that the family in Black Ink Planet would possess such wealth. Ten million crystals seemed to be a small sum, and the difference between this and the situation in the other planets in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence was too great.
With his experience, he could tell that Yu Chen Hai's words were not complete, but most of them should not be false. At that moment, he opened his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
"As long as a member of the Yu Family asks for something, we must definitely fulfill it?"
"That's right. This is the rule of the Yu Family. Brother Su, you don't have to worry," Yu Chen Hai said with a smile.
"Everyone is like this?" Su Ming looked towards Yu Chen Hai.
"Everyone is like this." Yu Chen Hai hesitated for a moment. He could not quite understand the meaning behind Su Ming's words.
Su Ming let out a fake cough and lifted his right hand to point at the sealed old man beside him.
"This person promised to give me one billion crystals as an apology just now. Brother Yu, since you're here and you heard his promise with your own ears, you want to be my witness."
When Yu Chen Hai was momentarily stunned, the eyes of the sealed old man who still had his hearing went wide and he started struggling violently. Anger appeared in his eyes, and it seemed as if it could burn the entire area. It was as if if he could break free, he would use all his strength to roar in anger.
In fact, there was also despair and grievance in that anger. It was a despair that came from the soul, and it came from the depths of his heart, causing him to feel as if he was about to go mad.
The bald crane's eyes went wide, and its breathing quickened. As its body trembled in agitation, it looked at Su Ming again, and suddenly, its heart was filled with admiration. It felt that Su Ming's image had instantly become incomparably great.
'Darn it all, I thought that I was a scoundrel, but I didn't expect … I didn't expect that this Su Ming, who usually doesn't show himself, would actually be so cunning. It was clearly just ten million crystals, but he said it was … one billion!
That middle-aged man named Yu wants to recruit Su Ming, so he will definitely be a witness. This … is too much of a scoundrel!
Scoundrel Su, he's even more scoundrel than I am … Looks like I'll have to learn from him. Yup, I'll definitely learn the essence of it and surpass my master! '
"One … one billion?" Yu Chen Hai was momentarily stunned before he instinctively asked. The two people following behind him also widened their eyes, and a strange look appeared on their faces. They had naturally seen through the clues as well. To them, such a brazen extortion was something they had never seen before in their lives.
"Hmm? "Brother Yu, didn't you hear it with your own ears just now? This person promised to give me one billion crystals. Could it be that he lied to me?" Su Ming frowned and let out a cold harrumph.
"I intend to become a guest elder of the Yu Family. If this person is blatantly lying to me, I will have to reconsider this matter."
Yu Chen Hai smiled wryly. With a sympathetic gaze, he cast a glance at the old man, who was about to descend into madness but could not speak and could only struggle. He immediately nodded towards Su Ming.
"That's right. I … heard it with my own ears. But this person should not have so many crystals. Brother Su, don't worry, all his savings will belong to you. If it's not enough, then use your life to pay for it!" When he said this, determination and a hint of ruthlessness appeared in Yu Chen Hai's eyes.
"He's just someone who was forcefully raised to the middle stage of the Realm of Planes by a unique treasure. He won't be able to advance any further in his life, and he's just a member of a branch bloodline. Even though he's father's subordinate … it's fine to sacrifice him." Yu Chen Hai made his decision in his heart. When he looked at Su Ming again, the image of the person before him in his eyes had changed too much.
"Thank you for upholding justice, brother Yu. Then, when are we going to Black Ink Planet?" Su Ming smiled faintly.
"Starting Point's annual meeting. We will leave today and return on the second. Four days.
During these four days, we can only watch one chapter every day. Once we come back, we will make up for it. I hope that everyone will forgive me … Lower my head, wrap my fist in my palm, and bow three times … Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me … "If you like this work, please come to qidian.com and vote for me.
