As a powerhouse, his dignity could not be violated. At the same time, face was even more important. Now that he had been stopped by a mere gatekeeper of Myriad Treasure Pavilion and even spoken to in such a manner, just where was he supposed to put his face?
For a time, killing intent surged into his heart and his killing intent soared to the heavens. He casually slapped out at the gatekeeper who spoke.
Powerful spiritual energy condensed into a palm that instantly appeared in front of the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper wanted to dodge, but this palm came too suddenly and his cultivation was too low. In the face of such a powerful move, he simply couldn't avoid it.
"Am I going to die?"
Looking at the huge palm filled with death energy that was about to drown him, the gatekeeper closed his eyes and relaxed his body, waiting for death to come.
He knew that if a miracle didn't occur, he would undoubtedly die. But, he didn't expect a miracle at all.
Time slowly passed. The gatekeeper closed his eyes and waited for death to arrive. But after waiting for a long time, he still didn't feel the slightest bit of pain. He couldn't help but open his eyes.
"Pavilion … Pavilion Master?"
As he opened his eyes, an incomparably tall figure fell into his eyes. He was very familiar with this figure. Besides his own Pavilion Master, who else could it be?
Myriad Treasure Pavilion Master, Lu Guiyun. His cultivation was at the peak of the late Divine Lord realm.
"There's nothing for you to do here. Go and treat your wounds!" A voice sounded out. The gatekeeper's body fiercely trembled. He said, "Yes, this subordinate obeys."
As he spoke, the people around him hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up, allowing him to walk through the door.
As this scene fell into Hong Yu's eyes, the flames of anger in his heart instantly ignited. He never thought that Lu Guiyun wouldn't give him any face, all for the sake of a gatekeeper. Moreover, this gatekeeper had spoken rudely to him.
Looking at Lu Guiyun, Hong Yu coldly said, "Surname Lu, you want to start a fight with me over a subordinate?"
As this scene fell into Lin Ray's eyes, the interest of watching a good play surged in his heart. He pulled the two women to the side and quietly watched.
"Hoh, Pavilion Master Hong, it's not that I don't want to give you face, but to kill someone in front of my Myriad Treasure Pavilion, and to kill one of my people, how can you say that?
"Moreover, there are so many forces here today. Aren't you slapping my face?"
Speaking up to this point, Lu Guiyun sneered inwardly, "Damn it, when I go back I must teach that boy a lesson, today he helped me vent my anger."
However, although he was happy and satisfied, he also had more worries, especially about Hong Yu's matter.
If he didn't handle it well, it was very likely that both sides would suffer losses, and this was a scene he didn't want to see.
Because he knew that once the two clans had a disagreement, it would be the best opportunity for the other forces in the Death City. They might even take over the two clans without hesitation.
"House Master, why don't we put this matter on hold for now? After all, we're here to participate in the auction and Fellow Daoist Lin is still waiting for us."
Just when the situation had become extremely rigid, Xiao Nie, who was behind Hong Yu, hurriedly reminded him.
"Hmm?"
Hong Yu was surprised by Xiao Nie's words, then he turned to look at Lin Ray and nodded, "You're right, today I'm mainly here to accompany Fellow Daoist Lin."
Then he looked up at Lu Guiyun, "Let's put this matter on hold for now, but don't think it's over."
"Uh …" Hearing Hong Yu's words, Lu Guiyun was surprised. As an old rival, he knew Hong Yu very well.
Normally, he would not let go of a small matter, but now he chose to let go of such a face-slapping matter.
However, he didn't have time to think too much, after all, the other party had already said so. Lu Guiyun smiled and cupped his hands, "In that case, please, the auction is about to begin."
"Hmph!"
He didn't even look at Lu Guiyun, his eyes fell on Lin Ray and the other two, and his tone became much gentler as he said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, let's go."
"Okay!"
Lin Ray felt a little regretful about this ending, but when he thought about the auction, his regret disappeared without a trace.
Dian Dian came to Hong Yu's side with his wife, then they slowly walked into the auction hall.
However, Lu Guiyun, who was standing at the door, was confused as he watched Hong Yu and the others leave.
"Old Chen, go and find out who the young man and the two women beside Hong Yu are."
"Uh … Pavilion Master, there's no need to investigate!"
"Hmm?" What …? Looking at Old Chen, Lu Guiyun was puzzled.
"He … The young man beside Hong Yu is the one who destroyed the Dragon Tiger Sect yesterday, but I didn't expect that he would become a guest of honor in Hong Lou."
"Now that I think about it, the person that Hong Yu personally welcomed yesterday should be this person."
"What, it's him …?"
Hearing this, Lu Guiyun was shocked, and his heart was in turmoil.
"However, the disciple that you told to go and treat his injuries stopped that young man. It is precisely because of that that the matter with Hong Yu occurred." As he spoke, the person called old Chen sighed and did not say anything else.
"This …"
At this moment, Lu Guiyun's face was getting uglier and uglier. He didn't expect things to turn out like this, and he didn't expect Hong Yu to go to such lengths for that young man.
Thinking of this, Lu Guichen couldn't help but hate the disciple who had been guarding the door. Now, because of a disciple, he had offended a master and Hong Lou. As a businessman, this was undoubtedly a loss.
"I don't want to see that disciple again. You guys can see for yourselves!" Helpless, what else could they do?
Lu Guiyun said to Old Chen behind him, then turned and stepped into the auction hall.
The auction hall was divided into three floors, the first floor was the hall, the second floor was the private rooms, and also the VIP rooms. Of course, the second floor was where the rogue cultivators stayed.
However, the third floor was also where the young masters and sects of Death City and the surrounding cities stayed.
Of course, those who could stay on the third floor had at least two or three God Emperors in their families, otherwise, let alone entering, they would be obliterated before they could even set foot on the stairs.
At this moment, Hong Yu wasn't unhappy because of the previous incident, perhaps because Lin Ray was by his side.
Everyone came to the third floor under Hong Yu's lead, opened the invitation, looked at the room numbers, and found the corresponding room.
With a "kuang dang", the door closed and everyone came to the room and sat down one by one.
"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of rich people, just the decoration of a room is so luxurious," Looking at the decoration of the room, Lin Ray couldn't help but praise.
Lin Ray wasn't bragging, but the carpet that Lin Ray and the others were stepping on at this moment! This was the skin of a nine-tailed fox, and regardless of the price, although the nine-tailed fox wasn't a top-level Monster Beast, it could be said to be the most difficult to find in its clan.
"Uh, yes … yes, after all, they are rich, even our Hong Lou can't compare," Looking at Lin Ray, Hong Yu smiled awkwardly.
"Pavilion Master Hong is too modest." Looking at Hong Yu, Lin Ray smiled and said, "Your Hong Lou has so many God Emperor level beast skins hanging on the first floor. Although the fur of this nine-tailed fox is precious, your fur is even more expensive."
"Uh … is, is that so?"
Looking at the mysterious smile on Lin Ray's face, Hong Yu couldn't see through him and didn't know what to say, so in the end, he chose to remain silent.
* Dong dong *
Just when the atmosphere was extremely awkward, someone knocked on the door. Looking at the door, Hong Yu swore that no matter who it was at the door, he would be very grateful.
"Pavilion Master Hong, Fellow Daoist Lin, this one is Lu Guiyun, sorry to disturb you."
"Lu … Lu Guiyun?" Hearing this familiar voice, Hong Yu was taken aback and revealed an awkward expression. At the same time, he made the promise he had secretly muttered in his heart before.
Turning his head to look at Lin Ray, he knew that Lu Guichen had come here now either to laugh at him or to look for Lin Ray.
In this regard, Hong Yu was more inclined to the latter choice because Lin Ray's prestige was there for all to see.
"Let him in!" Understanding Hong Yu's meaning, Lin Ray nodded and agreed.
"Good."
Turning his head, he looked at the door, "Come in!"
With a creak, the door opened and Lu Guiyun's figure appeared in front of Lin Ray and the others.
At the same time, seeing that everyone in the room was staring at him, Lu Guiyun smiled awkwardly and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I am really sorry. I just asked about what happened and it was really their fault. They have already been punished, I hope you will be magnanimous and not take it to heart."
"Uh …"
Seeing Lu Guiyun's actions, everyone was stunned, especially Hong Yu. He had never seen Lu Guiyun act like this before.
"It's fine." Seeing Lu Guiyun like this, Lin Ray waved his hand indifferently and said, "You don't have to take it to heart."
"Yes." Looking at Lu Guiyun, Hong Yu's heart was bursting with joy. "Fellow Daoist Lu, may I know why you have come here?"
"Humph." Lu Guiyun really didn't want to say anything to Hong Yu, but thinking of the impact he had on Lin Ray before, he smiled and said to Hong Yu, "It's, it's nothing. The auction is about to begin, so I came here to give you a booklet of the auction items. See what you like and prepare in advance."
With that, a booklet as thick as a brick appeared in Lu Guiyun's hand. Then, with a surge of his cultivation, a burst of spiritual qi rushed out and dragged the booklet in front of Lin Ray.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, this is your first time here. If you see anything you like, feel free to bid for it. I, Lu Guiyun, will treat it as a gift for our first meeting."
"Lu Guiyun, you …" Looking at Lu Guiyun, Hong Yu gnashed his teeth. Although these words didn't mean much, in Hong Yu's ears, it was an obvious provocation.
However, Lin Ray didn't care about this. After all, his status couldn't be bought by a small auction item.
"Thank you." He nodded to Lu Guiyun and then ignored him. Instead, he handed the booklet to the two women.
"Take a look and see if there is anything you like. If there is, bid for it."
"Okay, we know!"
The two women were very talented when it came to buying things. They picked up the booklet and looked at it. As for Lin Ray, they seemed to have forgotten about him.
Looking at the two women's excited faces, Lin Ray smiled and no longer said anything. He closed his eyes and waited for the auction to begin.
Lin Ray closed his eyes, so Lu Guiyun didn't say anything. His purpose of coming here had been achieved, so he didn't stay. He cupped his hands to Lin Ray and then left.
The room quieted down. Except for the sound of the two women turning the pages, there was no other sound.
In the system, in the space where the Little Dragon was, Lin Ray stood in front of the Little Dragon and looked at him quietly. His expression was no longer as cold as before. Instead, there was a touch of gentleness.
Opening his eyes and looking at Lin Ray, the Little Dragon was surprised and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"There will be an auction in a while. I heard that there are some rare things. I thought that there might be something you need, so I came to tell you. If there really is something in a while, let me know and I'll buy it."
"Oh?" Hearing this, the Little Dragon was surprised. Then, he nodded and said, "Okay, I know. Isn't it just an auction?"
While speaking, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes. Although he could hide it from others, in front of Lin Ray, that kind of emotion couldn't be hidden.
In this regard, Lin Ray didn't say anything. Lin Ray had already seen through Little Dragon's stubbornness.
"Watch out for yourself." He reminded again, then left the system in a flash and returned to his original body.
Below, on the first floor of the auction, more and more people were gathering. Time passed little by little and four hours had passed. At this moment, the doors of the auction were closed.
At this moment, the atmosphere was extremely dry. Looking at the crowd below, Lin Ray knitted his brows.
"Everyone, the auction is about to begin. Please be quiet for a while, okay …"
At this moment, just as the crowd was making a racket, a beautiful and pleasant voice sounded in the entire auction hall.
All of a sudden, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Knock knock.
A series of footsteps sounded. Everyone's eyes fell on the auction stage. Everyone wanted to see who the speaker was. Of course, the most important thing was her face.
Even Lin Ray couldn't help but look up. As the saying goes, a fair and graceful woman is a gentleman's dream. This was the nature of men.
"Hmph!"
At the side, seeing her husband's shining eyes, her heart ached. She snorted coldly and turned her head away.
"Uh …"
Feeling his wife's strange behavior, Lin Ray smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that her voice is a little special. Also, it's not as good as our Ying and Bing's voices."
Then, he looked at Hong Yu and said, "Isn't that right, Tower Master Hong?"
Hong Yu was speechless.
Hong Yu was speechless at Lin Ray's behavior, but he smiled and nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, Fellow Daoist Lin is right."
"Mm, watch!"
Seeing Hong Yu's reaction, Lin Ray nodded in satisfaction. Then, he turned to Ying and Bing and smiled cheekily, completely losing his previous cold arrogance.
