Chapter 88

Both are good girls!

Halfway through the meal, seeing Li Yao put down his chopsticks, Li Yang said:

"Xiao Yao, you know that the Yang family is also preparing to hold an auction, right?"

"And they're holding it right next door to our auction."

"Oh?"

Li Yao raised his eyebrows; he really didn't know about this.

Speaking of business, Guo Ning put down her chopsticks.

Developing the Silver Wolf Guild had always been her job. Even with the cooperation with the Shang family, Li's father didn't worry too much, focusing his mind on clearing dungeons.

"Your dad didn't get to the point."

"The Yang family announced on the Star Network that their auction items are undecided, but for every item in our Silver Wolf auction, they will put up a better one."

Hearing this,

Shang Shang Yana and Qin Qin Yue opened their mouths at the same time, unable to believe their ears.

Qin Qin Yue: "Are they serious?"

Shang Shang Yana: "Does the Yang family not know that the items sold at the auction are all obtained by Li Yao?"

They both knew how precious those things were.

Taking out any one of them was enough to make any young professional fight tooth and nail.

Although the Yang family was the person in charge of the Star Network in Sangyu City and had a lot of equipment and props, in terms of 'quality,' they definitely couldn't compare to the things Li Yao brought out!

Even Shang Shang Zijin, when she heard Li Yao tell her to choose one, was so excited she couldn't sleep all night.

Trying to suppress the Silver Wolf Guild in this way, one could only say the Yang family was overthinking it.

Looking at the expressions of the two girls, Guo Ning knew what they were thinking, but there was still a trace of worry on her face.

"We all know that the things Xiao Yao brings out are very powerful."

"But the people on the Star Network don't believe us!"

"The Silver Wolf Guild has too little foundation after all. Even if we put the items up, with the Yang family fanning the flames, they will only think we are engaging in false advertising."

Li Yao, who hadn't spoken, asked:

"Aren't we cooperating with the Shang family? If they don't believe us, do they not believe the Shang family either?"

"It's not like that, Li Yao." Shang Shang Yana looked at Li Yao apologetically and explained:

"For this auction, our Shang family isn't actually participating openly."

"If there were any shadow of the Shang family in the auction, these precious equipment and props would naturally be considered as things brought out by the Shang family."

"In that case, it wouldn't help the Silver Wolf Guild build a reputation at all."

"So the Shang family is only responsible for connecting relationships and inviting top-tier families; everything else is handled by the Qin family and the Silver Wolf Guild."

"I see."

Li Yao nodded.

From this point of view, the Shang family was truly sincere in helping the Silver Wolf Guild.

Li Yao chuckled and said casually: "Having top-tier families participate is enough. Next time they know about the Silver Wolf Guild, they will naturally come. This time, it's just earning a little less money."

The things he truly needed could only be brought out by top-tier families.

Only those pieces of equipment for money needed ordinary people to participate in the purchase.

"I think so too," Shang Shang Yana nodded gently.

"Mm-hmm! I think so too!" Qin Qin Yue hadn't been able to get a word in and was looking for a sense of presence.

"That's true, but..."

Guo Ning had a troubled look; these young people didn't care about money at all.

Top-tier equipment and props, only traded, not sold.

Guo Ning agreed with this point.

But the bronze and silver equipment produced by small monsters were the more popular choices for ordinary professionals.

If there were no ordinary professionals participating in the auction, and only top-tier families, these things wouldn't sell at all.

Once the Martial Exam is over, these pieces of equipment will drop in price by at least thirty percent.

It's all money!

Guo Ning thought with heartache.

Just then,

the gate of the Li family villa was suddenly knocked.

Several people looked at the monitor at the same time.

Except for Li Yao, the others were shocked.

In this world, there was actually such a beautiful girl?

If Shang Shang Yana and Qin Qin Yue were the beauty of youth,

then this girl appearing on the monitor was the model of a lady from a great family.

Her attire was luxurious, and every move revealed the aura of someone in a high position.

Her face was unadorned, yet she was breathtakingly beautiful.

"I know her, I'll go open it."

Li Yao got up, walked out of the room, and came to the courtyard.

Hadn't he refused clearly enough last time? Why was this woman still coming to his door?

He pushed open the gate.

Kujo Mise stood in front, and beside her was a man of similar age.

Behind her stood dozens of black-clad professionals respectfully.

Looking at their attire, they should be the ninja class unique to the Sakura Country.

Before Li Yao could speak, Kujo Mise stepped forward.

"Li Yao, don't be in such a hurry to refuse me. I've come with sincerity this time."

"I won't agree to anything."

Li Yao didn't want to waste time and decisively refused.

Betraying the Dragon Kingdom and becoming their guard—no matter which one it was, he couldn't agree.

Kujo Mise's expression was natural; she didn't say much.

Instead, the man beside her said sternly: "Show some respect! Miss Mise inviting you is looking up to you; don't be ungrateful!"

"As expected of someone who acts as a dog, just opening your mouth is nauseating."

Kujo Mise said there were three Summoners above A-rank in the Dragon Kingdom; this person was likely one of them.

Appearing beside Kujo Mise at this time, he had clearly betrayed the Dragon Kingdom and become a Sakura dog.

"You!" Meng Haomiao was furious and was about to speak,

but Kujo Mise swept a cold glance, and he stayed in place honestly, not daring to speak.

Still a loyal dog.

Kujo Mise walked up to Li Yao and handed a skill book to him.

"Li Yao, look at it before you refuse."

Looking at the other party's confident appearance, Li Yao was also a bit curious and looked at the skill book.

It was actually SS-rank?

He had cleared so many Purgatory dungeons, and the SS-rank skills he had gotten could be counted on one hand.

No wonder she was so confident.

"Originally, I intended to prepare an SSS-rank skill book as a gift for you, Li Yao, but this summon has the bloodline of a legendary creature, so I thought you would be more satisfied."

Kujo Mise introduced it to Li Yao with some pride.

This skill book, even for the Kujo family, was obtained at a great cost.

She believed Li Yao wouldn't refuse.
