Qiangu Dongfeng was naturally ecstatic to hear this, and he immediately traveled to Heaven Dou City with Gu Yuena.
On top of that, there was a selfish element involved in his eagerness to nurture Gu Yuena despite the high costs. Among the four current spirit envoys of the Spirit PaG.o.da, the second youngest one was Qiangu Zhangting, who was his grandson. He was 31 years of age and a t.i.tled Douluo, and it could be said that he was the most exceptional talent to have emerged from the Qiangu Family for a long time. He was also being groomed by Qiangu Dongfeng as his eventual successor.
Many years had pa.s.sed since the Qiangu Family's first rose to prominence, and during this time, the family had completely monopolized the Spirit PaG.o.da, and the so-called election system was just there for show to create an illusion of fairness.
Qiangu Zhangting was Qiangu Dongfeng's eldest grandson, and he was truly outstanding, displaying exceptional apt.i.tude from a very young age.
Back when he was 28 years old, he progressed to the t.i.tled Douluo stage and was instantly promoted to become one of the four Spirit PaG.o.da spirit envoys. During these past three years, Qiangu Zhangting had been focusing wholeheartedly on his cultivation and was yet to marry.
However, it was love at first sight for him the first time he had met Gu Yuena, who had been 18 at the time.
Qiangu Dongfeng was naturally eager to play the match-maker, but Leng Yaozhu turned him down, citing Gu Yuena's young age as an issue.
Now that Gu Yuena had been promoted to become a spirit envoy, she stood at the pinnacle of the younger generation regardless of whether it came to status, ability, apt.i.tude, or looks, and in Qiangu Dongfeng's eyes, she was the ideal bride for his grandson!
Qiangu Zhanting had only recently come out of seclusion, and during the past three years, he had progressed to rank 94 in soul power.
He was only one step away from becoming a Hyper Douluo, and he also had the unreserved support of the Spirit PaG.o.da behind him. He was currently pursuing Gu Yuena with all his might, hoping to secure her hand in marriage, and Qiangu Dongfeng was certainly more than willing to give him a hand.
Hence, he came to the auction house with Gu Yuena and was determined to purchase the Ice G.o.d's Heart for her at all costs. If Gu Yuena could also reach the t.i.tled Douluo level in the near future, then she and his grandson would be a match made in heaven, and they would also be the pillars that supported the entire Spirit PaG.o.da in the future.
Whenever Qiangu Dongfeng thought of his grand scheme, he was struck by an indescribable sense of excitement. At his level of power, wealth was no longer important; his only objective was to attain more influence and widespread jurisdictive power. What he wanted to see the most was for the younger generation to be able to continue to take the Qiangu Family to greater heights.
”6,800,000,000 going once! 6,800,000,000 going twice!” The auctioneer was practically yelling at the top of his lungs at this point.
The auction for this Ice G.o.d's Heart wasn't progressing as well as he would've hoped. The instruction from his higher-ups was to try and sell it for 10,000,000,000 federal credits, but who would've thought that the auction-goers would display so little interest in the item?
”7,000,000,000.” Right at this moment, another bid was made, and the auctioneer felt as if he had been saved.
Qiangu Dongfeng lifted his number one paddle and gave the auctioneer a nod.
The entire auction house fell completely silent.
All of the auction-goers were wearing masks, but it was quite clear to everyone just how important someone had to be to have secured the number one paddle.
”7,000,000,000 going once.” The auctioneer commenced his countdown again while vehemently selling the allure of the Ice G.o.d's Heart, but no one took the bait.
”Ahem.” Qiangu Dongfeng suddenly cleared his throat at this moment, and it was only a quiet noise as far as everyone else was concerned, but it sounded like a deafening thunderclap in the ears of the auctioneer.
He felt as if his blood were churning in his veins, and he was naturally quite stunned by this. As the main auctioneer of the Heaven Dou City Auction House, he was also a powerful Soul Master in his own right, but he felt as if his soul had almost been scattered by that gentle clear of the throat.
”7,000,000,000 going twice.”
”7,000,000,000 going thrice.”
”Slam!”
He brought down his hammer to seal the deal.
