Chapter 52: Who Killed Who?
After Xiao Chen put everything into the Universe Ring, he tightened the black cloak that he was wearing and left the booth. He ignored the two Tang Clan disciples that were following him and headed to the back door of Linlang Pavilion.
One of the two people following him said, “Go and report to the Second Young Master, I will keep following him first.”
“Alright, you follow him first. Be careful not to lose him. Or else, when the Second Young Master blames someone, both you and I will be in trouble.”
Tang Feng was anxiously waiting in his booth for news from his subordinates. This Inferior Grade Spirit Stone was something that his father had instructed him to obtain at all cost.
At this moment, his plans were disrupted by someone else. If he did not accomplish his mission and returned empty handed, he would not be able to avoid punishment.
“Bang!”
The door to the booth was opened. Tang Feng saw that it was one of his escorts. He felt joyful and quickly said, “Is there any news yet? Who is this brazen person who dares to s.n.a.t.c.h away the things that I fancy?”
The escort had run all the way there, and was currently panting. He wanted to say something but could not do so.
Tang Feng scolded him, “You trash, quickly say what you have to say. If that person gets away, consider your wretched life forfeit.”
The escort panicked and said while gasping for breath, “Reporting... to Second... Young Master, the person was hidden in a big black cloak, and we were not able to see his appearance.”
“However, his cultivation was only in the Medial Grade Martial Disciple realm. Tang San is currently following him, he will not lose him.”
Just a Medial Grade Martial Disciple... Tang Feng’s eyes gleamed, “Did you see the auctioneer deliver the three items to his booth?”
“Yes, I saw him.”
“Good!” Tang Feng smiled coldly, “Just an insignificant Medial Grade Martial Disciple. To think that you actually dared to disrupt my plans twice. I want to see what remarkable abilities you have.”
“All four of you, go take care of this. Just a Medial Grade Martial Disciple... Don’t tell me you can’t handle this. I will go back first and report this situation to my father.”
“Second Young Master, rest a.s.sured. Not to mention a Medial Grade Martial Disciple, even a Superior Grade Martial Disciple would not be able to escape from us,” the Martial Master escort said to Tang Feng.
At this moment, in the backyard of Linlang Pavilion, Nangong Yan had arranged for people to tidy up the collapsed secret room. He was hoping that he would be able to recover some medicinal pills that were not damaged. After all, those were the result of ten years of effort. If it was gone just like that, it would cause his heart to ache.
Right at this moment, the steward of Linlang Pavilion auction came over. There was an extremely unsightly expression on his face as he stood behind Nangong Yan. He wanted to say something but he did not know how to phrase it.
When Nangong Yan saw the situation, he frowned and said unhappily, “Old Li, just speak your mind.”
When Old Li heard it, sweat continued to pour out of his forehead as he said carefully, “Pavilion Master, the matter that you entrusted to us has been dealt with already. That alchemist already bid on three items.”
When Nangong Yan heard this, he smiled, “I thought it was something bad. There is no need to be so anxious about such a small matter! Right, which were the items he bid on?”
When Old Li saw that the Pavilion Master’s mood did not seem bad, he relaxed slightly and said, “Rainbow Flame Python inner core, an Inferior Grade Spirit Stone, and a piece of Superior Grade Frost Iron.”
Nangong Yan laughed out loud, “His eyes are quite good. These are pretty good items. Even in Luojie Prefecture, these are still regarded as treasures.”
Old Li hesitated for a long time before finally making a decision. He slowly said, “However, the bids that he called out were quite high.”
Nangong Yan said somewhat unhappily, ”Why? Worried that I would not be able to afford it? That you would not be able to account to your superiors for this? What was the bid he called.”
“10 million… gold taels.”
“10 million…” Nangong Yan echoed halfway before his complexion changed, “How much did you say again? Repeat it to me.”
“Three items, the bid for each item was 10 million gold taels. That is a total of 30 million gold taels.” Old Li had already expected that the situation would not be good, but he still said it.”
“f.u.c.k your grandmother!” When Nangong Yan heard that, he forgot about his status and scolded a vulgarity. The escorts around him and Old Li were all startled.
With regards to Nangong Yan’s ident.i.ty, even if others were not aware of it, it was impossible that the people around him did not recognize him. He was the blood brother of the current Nangong Clan Head, Nangong Lie. He was also the Chief Imperial Alchemist of the Great Qin Nation.
He was someone who even the emperor had to fawn on. Nangong Yan’s anger was very clear, given that he forgot about his status and used a vulgarity.
This caused them to feel terrified. If Nangong Yan really wanted to blame someone, they might not be able to keep their heads.
Old Li knelt on the ground terrified, “Pavilion Master, should we send someone to capture him? He should not have gone far yet.”
When Nangong Yan heard this, he felt very angered. Even he was not his opponent. If these people went, they would not be able to return alive. He scolded them, “How reckless! Did I say that I want to pursue this matter?”
Old Li did not know what he said wrong, “Pavilion Master, weren’t you very angry earlier? Could it be that you are intending to let him off?”
Nangong Yan recovered his calm... The emotional strength of a Rank 7 alchemist was not that weak after all. He said indifferently, “You don’t have to bother about this matter. Remember to never cause trouble for that person.”
