"Eh …"
Ling Yun felt a chill down his spine as goosebumps rose all over his body. He didn't hold back as an invisible force penetrated his body.
"Aiya!"
Ye Tianshui, who was hugging Ling Yun, felt a strong force on every part of his body that came into contact with Ling Yun. His body was bounced a meter away before he could stabilize himself.
Ye Tianshui immediately shot a resentful look at Ling Yun. It's only been a month since we last met, and you're already so distant?
"You can say whatever you want, but what are you doing hugging each other in public? You're the head of the Ye Family after all. Don't you know how to be mindful of your status? "
Ling Yun raised his hands and adjusted his suit. He frowned and said, "My suit has been squashed by you!"
Ling Yun had reverted to his urban attire and changed into a black suit. Coupled with his slender and perfect figure, there was only one word to describe him — handsome!
Ye Tianshui felt even more wronged after hearing Ling Yun's reason. I'm the head of the Ye Family, and I've been busy with your auction for a few days now. Why do I have to be mindful of my status as a PI?
"It's just a suit. I can compensate you with dozens of suits. Tell me first, have I lost weight?"
Ling Yun rubbed his forehead. "Yes, yes, I've lost a few kilograms. Are you satisfied now?"
"Haha, that's good."
Ye Tianshui laughed out loud. He was completely shameless. Then, his eyes lit up.
Ling Xiu got out of the car.
"Damn fatty, the auction is about to start. Why aren't you staying inside? What are you doing out here?"
Ling Yun looked on coldly from the sidelines.
He noticed that Ling Xiu's attitude towards Ye Tianshui was obviously different from a month ago, even though she was still impatient.
In the past, she wouldn't even bother with him. Talking to him was akin to losing money.
A good girl is afraid of being pestered?
No, from Ling Yun's point of view, it should be Ye Tianshui's change in figure that played a significant role.
Now that he had mastered Uneasy Will, Ye Tianshui's realm had firmly stabilized at the peak of Qi Refinement Stage 6. He no longer needed to rely on his fat body to conceal the omnipresent Sword Qi. He was tall and slender, without any excess fat. Dressed in a crisp navy blue suit, he looked like a handsome man.
Looks! Looks are justice!
"Ahem, I'm here to welcome you. Tonight's auction hasn't started yet. I'll go in right away."
When Ye Tianshui saw Ling Xiu, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He immediately changed his expression and bowed with a smile.
As they spoke, Ye Xingchen also got out of the car and stood beside Ling Yun. He nodded slightly at Ye Tianshui as a form of greeting.
Ye Tianshui was obviously stunned.
Because tonight, Ye Xingchen had also changed into an extremely rare set of clothes.
Her signature black muslin dress was gone. She was wearing a red floor-length dress and a pair of eye-catching red high heels. Her exquisite figure was so dazzling that no one dared to stare at her!
Coupled with her languid and nonchalant gaze, anyone who saw her would be stunned.
"Cough cough!"
Ling Xiu was furious when she saw Ye Tianshui's expression. "What are you looking at? This is my sister-in-law!"
"Huh? Eh? Eh? When did I ever do that? I didn't! Please don't misunderstand! "
Ye Tianshui was so shocked that his entire body trembled. He immediately regained his composure and explained hurriedly, "You don't know, but I haven't seen her for a long time since the Devil Subduing Conference. I didn't expect her to suddenly appear here, so …"
Ye Tianshui hurriedly explained as he gave Ling Yun a pleading look.
Ling Yun laughed and immediately changed the topic. He asked casually, "Ye Tianshui, you're the new head of a family. Why aren't you busy with your family's auction? Why are you here at the Ling Family's auction?"
He was asking a question that he already knew the answer to.
Ling Yun had been home for a day. He had already grasped most of the family's affairs and the important situation in Beijing.
The Cao Family was fine. Everyone in the family was cultivating with all their might.
The Li Family was still the same as before. It was just that Li Junhua was more attentive to the Ling Family's matters. He had already become Ling Yue's subordinate and listened to everything.
As such, the relationship between the two families became even closer. Naturally, the Ling Family was the leader, and the Li Family was the support.
In the Ye Family, Ye Qingfeng completely retreated behind the scenes and handed over all the family's affairs to Ye Tianshui. It was obvious that he wouldn't interfere and let him do whatever he wanted.
Ye Tiandu followed Ye Qingxin to Shushan. It was said that he was only one step away from entering the late stages of Qi Cultivation. His trip to Shushan was probably to break through.
Ever since the Long Family had suffered a huge loss at Ling Xiao's birthday banquet, they had become incomparably low-key. Long Haoran had handed over the family's affairs to Long Tianxing to manage, and he himself had disappeared without a trace.
The most important event in Beijing was the opening of the Ling Family's Ancient Martial Arts Auction.
The Ling Family had always claimed that it was an Ancient Martial Arts Auction. However, anyone with a bit of status knew that the Ling Family's auction was actually a Cultivation Auction!
Ling Yun had a very high-profile appearance at his father's birthday banquet a month ago. After a month of preparation, with the deliberate guidance of the Ling Family and the encouragement of the Cao, Qin, and Li Families, the entire Ling Yun Hotel was already packed to the brim with people on the opening day of the Ling Family's auction yesterday!
From the looks of it, those people weren't here to bid for the item, but to "rob" it!
Originally, Ling Yue had planned to let Ling Yun personally host the opening of the Ling Family's auction after he brought his mother home. However, he saw the scene.
Good heavens.
There was no need at all!
Three days before the opening of the Ling Family's Ancient Martial Arts Auction, the Ling Yun Hotel was already packed with people. By yesterday, even the hotels near the Ling Yun Hotel, as well as the major hotels in Beijing, were filled with people from the cultivation world.
With so many people looking forward to the opening of the Ling Family's Ancient Martial Arts Auction, it could easily cause a negative impact if it didn't open on time.
Therefore, Ling Yue waved his hand and directly opened the auction without waiting for Ling Yun's return!
Anyway, the Ling Family had enough manpower and strong horses. They didn't need Ling Yun to appear to be able to completely control the situation.
That was indeed the case. Although the entire auction last night was packed to the brim with people from all walks of life, all of them behaved themselves, and not a single person dared to cause trouble.
The auction scene could only be described as fiery. In just one night, the earnings from the auction exceeded the total earnings of the Ye Family, the Long Family, and the Heavenly Team for the past year!
They had earned a fortune!
There was simply too many treasures in the Ling Family's auction. Weapons, elixirs, talismans … Most of them weren't available in the other three auctions.
This was the only one of its kind, there was no other!
The format of the auction wasn't important at all. The essence of the auction was nothing more than one word.
The highest bidder would win.
The reason why an auction could be held was because of the scarcity of the auction items. It would be best if they were unique treasures that everyone urgently needed.
Healing Talismans that could heal any external injuries. Do you want them?
Youth-Retaining Pills and Youth-Beautifying Pills that could restore one's youth. Do you want them?
Also, the legendary spatial ring. Do you want them?
Do you want them from other auctions? Sorry, there weren't any other places other than the Ling Family's auction!
That was enough.
To be honest, Ling Yun had left enough items before he went to the main altar of the Devil Sect in order to build up the reputation of the Ling Family's auction. However, no one expected so many people to come!
Be it the opening prize, be it the final treasure, no matter what it was, everyone was bidding like crazy!
There were too many monks and not enough gruel.
Ling Yun had already told Ling Yue that even though they had a lot of treasures, they had to control the number of items they put up for auction.
Otherwise, they would be out of their minds. It would be equivalent to lowering the price for themselves and losing the purpose of the auction.
The Ling Family wasn't in a hurry.
Therefore, after last night's auction, the bidders who had come from afar were anxious and strongly requested to continue today's auction after failing to "snatch" anything.
Therefore, the opening of the Ling Family's auction yesterday became an appetizer. Today was the second round!
This was unprecedented.
"In order to satisfy the customers who came from afar and not let them return empty-handed, the Ling Family decided to hold the second auction immediately after much consideration."
"However, the Ling Family's strength is limited. Even if they go all out, the items they prepared will only be enough for this auction. We might have to wait for a long time for the next auction …"
So on and so forth …
So tonight, the scene was even more lively than last night. Many people had a premonition that they did not bring enough money and could not compete with others, so they decided to become scalpers themselves and sold their auction tickets. In the end, they were sold at sky-high prices!
These people made a huge fortune, but they didn't know that they would soon regret it. That was because Ling Yun appeared tonight!
"Closed."
Hearing Ling Yun's question, Ye Tianshui replied casually as if nothing had happened.
"Closed? What do you mean closed? "
Ling Yun was surprised.
"F * ck, you're asking the obvious, right? What else could it be? Our Ye Family's auction house is closed! Permanently closed, never to be opened again! "
Ye Tianshui rolled his eyes angrily. What kind of person was this? Wasn't this rubbing salt into someone's wound?
Ling Yun: "…"
Our Ling Family's auction house had just opened, and your Ye Family's is closing?
How boring was that?
There wasn't any sense of accomplishment at all.
Just as Ling Yun was laughing in his heart, he heard Ye Tianshui say, "It's not just our Ye Family. The Long Family's auction house has also announced its closure."
"Now, only the Heavenly Group hasn't announced it. However, according to the information I received, Great Elder Zhou has already begun discussing this matter with the other elders. I think they're just short of announcing it to the public …"
Ling Yun: "…"
"Why is it closed?" Ling Yun asked with a 'regretful' expression.
"Why do you think it is? What else can it be? "
Ye Tianshui pouted his lips toward the hotel. "Our Ye Family's customers and the Long Family's customers, regardless of their status, are all sitting in your auction house right now!
"Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"So-so. It's … passable! "
Ling Yun felt his entire body relax. With a face full of smiles, he patted Ye Tianshui's shoulder lightly. "Thank you for your hard work!"
"Ling Yun."
Ye Tianshui's expression suddenly turned serious.
"What's wrong?"
"If I can beat you, believe it or not …" Ye Tianshui gritted his teeth and wanted to spit out some harsh words.
Ye Xingchen gave him a sidelong glance. "You can try?"
"Hey! Sister-in-law, don't mess around. What's the relationship between me and Ling Yun? It was purely a joke, a joke! "
Ye Tianshui broke out in a cold sweat as he smiled awkwardly.
