Xianyang City, Hidden Art Loft.
Better to bully a white-bearded old man than a poor young man. There will be a day when the dragon will wear the phoenix.
Sister Qiao's face gradually turned serious as she muttered the warning that Yu Haoran had left behind.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
The young man who had just made the deal was perfect in terms of temperament, demeanor, and way of doing things.
Usually, Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion would receive customers with unlimited potential as VIPs. She couldn't understand why her grandfather, who had always been known for his sharp eyes, would look down on the young man.
She stomped her foot and turned to enter the room through a secret door to question her grandfather.
…!
"Young Master, you don't need to be angry. Elder Feng has a bad temper. Not to mention you, even if it was the Vice Pavilion Master, he wouldn't give face to anyone."
Seeing that Yu Haoran's mood wasn't as warm as before, Wu Yuan guessed that he must have been angered by the appraiser just now.
Therefore, he tried to persuade him carefully.
"I'm fine!" Yu Haoran shook his head and said.
Actually, he had his own reasons for asking for a discounted card.
Firstly, he had made a large deal this time. If he could get a discounted token, even if it was the lowest grade card, he could get at least a million more Spiritual Stones, which would help him in the upcoming auction.
Secondly, as Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion's influence grew in the future, a token that symbolized identity and status could sometimes play an unexpected role.
Thirdly, he wanted to use the transaction just now to calculate how much he would have to pay to get the highest grade token in Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
The highest grade token in Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion would have certain privileges and could even use Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion's intelligence department.
This was what Yu Haoran wanted and the main reason why he was willing to trade so many treasures.
However, Old Man Feng's reply not only disappointed Yu Haoran greatly, but also deeply wounded his self-esteem.
Cultivation!
He wasn't even 18 years old, but his cultivation and physical body had both reached the Martial Master Tenth Completion Realm. Yu Haoran believed that his performance wouldn't lose to the most outstanding geniuses of the seven top sects.
Identity!
Yu Haoran was the Vice Chief of the second-rate Hundred Chi Gate. His master, Feng Qingyun, was a Martial Saint expert who had comprehended a special power of law. He believed that his status was not inferior to that of the core and legacy disciples of the top sects.
Status!
Yu Haoran believed that with his secret method of transforming into a strange beast, his strength was at the peak of the ninth grade of the Martial Emperor Realm, and his staff technique, which was close to the power of the Martial Saint Realm, he would definitely be able to stir up the situation in the Emperor Qin Kingdom. He would definitely be able to obtain the attention of the Martial Saint Realm experts.
With his cultivation, identity, and status, he was fully qualified to be an honored guest of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
But what about the attitude of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion?
Yu Haoran swore with a sneer in his heart as he raised his head to look at the crowded auction.
"Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, today you've ignored me. Tomorrow, I'll make sure you're out of reach!"
Under Wu Yuan's lead, Yu Haoran quickly arrived in front of private room number 71.
Although private room number 71 was located in a remote area, it was quiet and did not attract the attention of others. Yu Haoran nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, you may leave!" Yu Haoran instructed Wu Yuan as he used the pink token in his hand to open the door to private room number 71.
"I'll be in charge of maintaining order in the auction hall. If Young Master has any instructions, you can ask any of the staff here. They'll inform me immediately," Wu Yuan reminded him, unwilling to let go of such a forthright Yu Haoran.
"Alright, I got it!"
Yu Haoran nodded and stepped into the private room.
Although the private room's layout was very simple, with only one table and four chairs, it gave off a very comfortable and relaxing feeling.
Moreover, in the direction of the auction stage, there was a piece of glass made of celestial crystals, which allowed him to clearly see the auction items on the stage in the middle of the hall.
Leaning back in his chair, Yu Haoran closed his eyes and quietly waited for the auction to begin.
Half an hour later, the old man who had helped him appraise the items slowly appeared on the stage in the center of the hall, indicating that the grand auction had officially begun.
"Ahem!"
Looking at the guests below the stage who were chatting with each other, the old man coughed lightly with the power of his Spirit.
When all the guests' attention was focused on the old man, his wrinkled face squeezed out a happy smile.
"Everyone present is an honored guest of my Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. Some of you know this old man, but there are also guests from other places who don't know this old man.
"Next, in order to better help everyone bid for the items you like, this old man will introduce himself."
"This old man's surname is Feng, and my given name is Yun. I'm currently a guest of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. My main job is to appraise and collect rare treasures for the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion."
After a simple introduction, Feng Yun began to explain the rules of the auction in detail.
In his previous life, he had participated in the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion's auctions more than once, so he was very familiar with the rules and procedures of the auction.
Thus, Yu Haoran couldn't be bothered to listen to Feng Yun's nonsense. Using the transparent window in front of him, he began to observe the guests in the hall.
After careful observation, Yu Haoran really did discover a few familiar faces.
For example, Gao Luanping, who had been driven away by his anger, Meng Yun, who had received him, and Xia Yufeng, who had been forced to close his shop.
Acquaintances aside, Yu Haoran had no intention of greeting them.
But when his gaze landed on a woman in a black dress and a black cloak in the southern corner of the hall, he was so shocked that he stood up. Then, agitated, he planned to leave the private room and greet the woman in black.
But at this moment, Feng Yun, who had finished explaining the rules and procedures of the auction, didn't waste any time and directly started the auction. He had no choice but to give up on the idea of greeting the woman.
"Yu Haoran, what's the matter with you?"
Thaling, who was using the Earth Spirit Flower to recover his soul, hadn't paid any attention to Yu Haoran ever since he had successfully escaped the surveillance of the experts from the Ministry of Rites.
Even though he had been greatly angered by Feng Yun's words, Thaling hadn't been alarmed, who was making the best use of his time to recover his soul.
But when Yu Haoran saw the woman in black, his emotions had fluctuated so violently that it had completely alarmed Thaling. He had hurriedly stopped the recovery process and asked in concern.
