~7 min read 1,351 words

Seeing Zhu'er get angry, Xiaoqi didn't dare to say anything more.

After all, Zhu'er was her direct superior and had always had a bad temper.

If she were to speak again, she really dared to make a move.

Helplessly, she bit the bullet and walked out of the room, coming before Luo Tian and the others.

"Guest, I'm sorry..." Xiaoqi's voice was trembling, seemingly afraid that Luo Tian would get angry.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Are you not letting us in?" Luo Tian asked in surprise.

Xiaoqi shook her head hurriedly and said, "No! It's just that the independent rooms of the auction house have all been reserved... so, I can only wrong you by staying in the lobby, is that okay?"

Luo Tian smiled immediately and said, "I thought it was something else; it's the same everywhere, take me there!"

"Thank you for your understanding, Young Master!" Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and led Luo Tian and the others to a corner of the auction hall.

"Three guests, I've wronged you; if you have any matters, just order me!" Xiaoqi said in a soft voice.

"Hmm, okay." Luo Tian nodded.

Xiaoqi took a deep breath and retreated cautiously, but her heart was anxious.

"This Young Master's financial resources are so abundant! He should be able to bid for something, right? If he can spend one million low-grade spirit stones, I can get a commission of one thousand low-grade spirit stones! By then, my mother's medicine money for half a year will be settled!" She muttered to herself in her heart.

And at the same time, inside the Heaven No. 1 room.

"Young Master Li, what is the matter that you had to call all of us brothers over?" A young man dressed in purple asked.

"Yeah, Brother Li, I just woke up and was called here by you! It's just an auction; is it necessary?" Another slightly chubby young man said with dissatisfaction.

In the main seat, that eldest young master of the Li family revealed a mysterious smile and said, "Everyone, I invited you all here to introduce you to a peerless genius!"

"Peerless genius? Who have you befriended again?" That purple-clothed young man asked earlier.

"Don't let it be some inexplicable character again; Li Yifan, you have to know what our status is; not everyone is qualified for us to know!" Another white-clothed young man said with dissatisfaction.

The eldest young master of the Li family, Li Yifan, smiled immediately and said, "Everyone, rest assured! The person I am introducing to you today is absolutely a top-tier genius in this world!"

"Top-tier in the world? Isn't that going too far?" The white-clothed young man frowned and asked.

Li Yifan shook his head and said, "Not only is it not going too far, but I even feel that this is underestimating him!"

"Oh? Who is it? Let's hear it!" At this, everyone became curious.

Li Yifan smiled and said, "This big brother comes from the Southern Region; he is thirty-five years old this year, but he already has the cultivation of the first stage of the Nirvana Realm!"

As soon as this was said, everyone stood up in shock.

"What did you say? Thirty-five years old, Nirvana Realm cultivation? Are you kidding me?"

"Is this kind of cultivation speed even human?"

"This talent is probably chasing after that Lord Huangfu from the Southern Region, right?"

Everyone said one after another.

Seeing everyone's astonished appearance, Li Yifan became proud immediately and said, "Everyone, don't be in a hurry! I haven't finished yet!"

"Oh? Could it be that there's more?" Everyone became curious immediately.

Li Yifan nodded and said, "That's right! This person not only has terrifying cultivation speed, but his talent is even more terrifying! He once tested the Hidden Dragon Stele and is a Dragon Qi-level genius!"

"Dragon Qi-level genius? Are you kidding me?"

"My father told me about this Hidden Dragon Stele! In my family's ancestry, there was once an ancestor who was recognized by the Hidden Dragon Stele as a Dragon Qi-level genius! After that ancestor's cultivation reached completion, he was one of the top ten powerhouses in Cloud City!"

"Hehe, at least your family has had a Dragon Qi-level genius! In my family, not a single one has appeared in all these years!"

"I haven't even seen one! Li Yifan, you brat are really decent; you are willing to introduce such a big shot to us brothers; you are too decent!"

"Yeah, yeah! Brother Li, this time, we must get to know this Lord well! After his cultivation reaches completion in the future, we can also borrow some of his light!"

"Brother Li, where is this big shot?"

Everyone looked at Li Yifan excitedly.

The latter smiled slightly and said, "Brother Xu, please come out!"

As soon as the words were out, a person walked out slowly from the inner room of the private box.

Whoosh!

Everyone, seeing the person who came, all stood up and looked at him respectfully.

The person who came, seeing everyone, nodded slightly and said, "I am Xu Yangyu from the Southern Region, greetings."

Hearing him speak, everyone bowed and saluted.

"Lord Xu, you are too polite!"

"Lord Xu, how can we let you greet us? It is we who should pay respects to you!"

A group of people began to fawn over Xu Yangyu.

But the latter waved his hand and said, "Everyone doesn't need to be like this; I am friends with Brother Li Yifan, and you are his friends, so we are friends too; just call me Brother Xu."

Seeing him so approachable, everyone felt happy again.

"Brother Xu, are you here in Cloud City to participate in the Heavenly Dragon Assembly?" The purple-clothed young man asked cautiously.

Xu Yangyu nodded slightly and said, "That's right, my sect is also very interested in the rewards of this Heavenly Dragon Assembly, so they specially selected three divine beasts to come and participate, and I just came along! It just so happens that I heard there is an auction here, so I came to join in the fun."

The slightly chubby young man stood up and said, "Brother Xu, this auction, no matter what you take a fancy to, just say it! I, surnamed Wang, will definitely bid for it for you!"

The purple-clothed young man frowned immediately and said, "Fatty Wang, do I need you? This matter of paying for Brother Xu, I, Lin, am duty-bound!"

"Hehe, you two don't fight with me! This time, it must be me!" The white-clothed young man also scrambled to compete.

Several people were almost arguing in order to fawn over Xu Yangyu.

Xu Yangyu enjoyed this feeling of being pursued by everyone and was all smiles immediately.

But suddenly, he glanced outward and happened to see a familiar figure in the corner of the lobby, and then his body stiffened immediately.

"What? How is it him?" Xu Yangyu said in shock.

"Huh? Brother Xu, what's wrong?" Li Yifan was the most sensitive and instantly sensed Xu Yangyu's abnormality.

The latter swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Nothing, I saw an old acquaintance."

"Old acquaintance? Then do you want to invite him up?" Li Yifan inquired.

Xu Yangyu gritted his teeth and said, "No need! I have some grievances with this person!"

"Grievances? Daring to have grievances with Brother Xu? What kind of person? Let me go and teach him a lesson!"

"Yeah, Brother Xu! My Lin family has quite a few connections in Cloud City; do you need me to deal with him for you?"

Several people said, scrambling to be the first.

Xu Yangyu, seeing this, was so scared that his face turned white and he hurriedly said, "No! Don't!"

He knew how terrifying Luo Tian was.

If this bunch of greenhorns really provoked Luo Tian, wouldn't that be a disaster?

"Huh?"

Everyone, seeing this, was stunned.

"Brother Xu, could it be that this person... has a terrifying background?" Li Yifan asked.

Xu Yangyu was stunned immediately; he only then realized he had lost his composure. ===== CHAPTER 750 =====
