Chapter 6

That "um" left Li Ruoling stunned, a touch of bitterness in her heart.

In this life, why has he lost interest in me?

How could this be? Could someone be interfering?

For a moment, Li Ruoling thought of another woman.

She gritted her teeth; it must be her, the one trying to tear her and Xu Chen apart. Damn woman.

PS: Begging for flowers and evaluation tickets. Used to it, won't get many; 200 flowers plus one extra chapter, 50 evaluations plus one extra chapter, no cap!

When they exited the auction house, Luo Yi, the master of the Qianling Auction House, waited on the path all family heads must take.

Before everyone's eyes, Luo Yi held a precious box and personally handed it to Xu Chen.

"Young Master Xu, these are the Pills the Saintess bid for you. Payment has been made; it's a fifty percent discount. Please accept them."

Luo Yi said cheerfully.

People from the various families of Qingyang City gasped on the spot; Luo Yi actually met Xu Chen personally to deliver Pills.

What a tremendous honor; if this got out, the Xu Family could brag about it for a year.

After all, the greatest power in Qingyang City is the Qianling Auction House; all other families can only look up to it.

Moreover, it is rumored that the Qianling Auction House has the backing of people from Jixia Academy, making it incredibly powerful.

Damn!

Seeing this scene, Xu Chen felt troubled; this really made him look like the protagonist.

Damn it, every time an unexpected event occurs, he worries the plot will reset; he's panicking.

Regarding this box right now, he didn't know if he could accept it, but he guessed he probably could.

After all, if Li Ruoling ruined the plot, it was fine; logically, if he accepted it, it should be fine too.

Besides, he is a villain; villains get the upper hand.

Therefore, Xu Chen took the box and said, "Trouble you, Master Luo."

Luo Yi smiled, "No trouble at all; it's a small matter."

Li Ruoling nodded and transmitted a voice to Luo Yi: "Well done."

Luo Yi was overjoyed; the Saintess was satisfied; that was great.

After Xu Chen took the box, he found the System gave no warning.

He breathed a sigh of relief; that was acceptable.

Luo Yi continued, "Henceforth, if the Xu Family comes to auction items, when payment is made, a fifty percent discount applies.

If people from the Xu Family wish to sell items, the deposit collected can also be discounted by fifty percent.

Everyone at the auction house, listen to me: whoever dares to charge even one more cent, get out of the Qianling Auction House immediately."

Luo Yi's voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

Hearing this, the many people from the Qingyang City families twitched at the corners of their mouths.

In the entire Qingyang City, only the Xu Family gets this discount; this is way too generous.

They, these families, truly felt envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Li Ruoling looked at Luo Yi again with approval, as if saying, "Good, very sensible."

Luo Yi was inwardly overjoyed; if the Saintess was happy, his benefits wouldn't be few in the future either.

Xu Chen: "..."

He remembered that in his past life, this discount belonged to the Ye Family.

It had absolutely nothing to do with his Xu Family.

But now he had stolen the discount meant for Ye Xuan.

Whoa, will something bad happen?

However, after a long while, the System still made no sound.

Xu Chen felt both joy and worry; this really made his heart race in fear.

Showing off is certainly satisfying, but this plot jumping around...

He took a deep breath and thanked Luo Yi, "Thank you, Master Luo."

Luo Yi smiled, "Welcome to the auction house often, Young Master Xu. There are many fine treasures recently; some I could even give to you for free."

Xu Chen's eye twitched; give it to your sister!

Some items belong to the protagonist, Ye Xuan.

If he actively snatched them, who knows if something bad would happen.

Therefore, Xu Chen coughed and said, "Thank you, Master Luo, but I dislike taking advantage of cheap deals; let's forget it."

The many families around twitched at the corners of their mouths, with a vague impulse to surround and beat Xu Chen to death.

So good at pretending; then don't eat soft rice; if you have the guts, keep the Spirit-Returning Pill the Saintess gave you.

Luo Yi inwardly flipped Xu Chen off, but on his face he still smiled, "High moral character and integrity; I, Luo, admire it."

Li Ruoling chuckled lightly, "Enough; whatever Xu Chen likes, I am here."

Luo Yi nodded, "The Saintess is right."

Ye Xuan watched, burning with rage.

Damn couple; what kind of things are they?

Wait until I become powerful in the future; I will definitely teach you a harsh lesson.

He was about to leave when the Master inside his ring said, "Do not act impulsively; you must still befriend the Saintess."

Ye Xuan took a deep breath; indeed, he had his Master's help, but no resources.

But Li Ruoling could easily possess various resources that could help him advance quickly; he needed to make contact.

If he gave up just because he was angry, that would be too stupid.

Therefore, Ye Xuan asked his master, "Master, is it okay to reveal that I refined this Pill?"

The old man inside said, "No problem. As long as it can help you, then speak."

Hearing this, Ye Xuan smiled again.

He was only sixteen years old yet could refine a Third-grade Pill; he could be called a genius.

For such a genius, could Li Ruoling not be tempted?

Therefore, full of confidence, he stepped forward on the spot and said, "Saintess."

Li Ruoling was about to leave with Xu Chen when she heard this voice and instantly knew who it was.

A trace of disgust flashed in her eyes as she looked coldly at Ye Xuan and said, "Do you have something to say?"

Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "I am Ye Xuan of the Ye Family. The Human Spirit Pill you bid on today was actually refined by me."

Once these words were spoken, many people from the great families present were stunned on the spot.

Ye Xuan was actually the one who refined this Human Spirit Pill.

My heavens, this is too powerful.

Could it be that Ye Xuan is a rare alchemy genius in the world?

Xu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly; he remembered this matter was originally supposed to be exposed only upon reaching Jixia Academy.

Or rather, others helped expose it, not Ye Xuan speaking it himself, and in the end, Ye Xuan was taken as a disciple by an Elder of the Xuegong.

Today, Ye Xuan actually spoke it out voluntarily?

What exactly does this Ye Xuan want to do?
