Chapter 288 - Not So Friendly (1/2)

Qin Nan’s expression remained calm despite facing the two great authorities.

His courage alone was impressive enough in the eyes of Jianghuang and the Six-Eared Divine Being.

“Impressive, able to find a Sacred Weapon fragment and the Divine Swordmaster’s record of his Sword Art among the pile. I’m afraid your eye technique has even outmatched the appraisers of our Trading Alliance.” The Six-Eared Divine Being said.

“Hmm, young lad Qin Nan, possessing such an incredible eye technique at such a young age. Impressive.”

Jianghuang wore a smile on his face, as his gaze toward Qin Nan was filled with a hint of admiration.

An ordinary person would not have the guts to challenge an overwhelming presence like the Trading Alliance. This alone was worthy of his admiration.

The Maple Prince’s face turned exceedingly pale.

Now that the two great authorities were here, and not only had Qin Nan managed to pick a fragment of a Sacred Weapon, he had also discovered a fragment of the Divine Swordmaster’s record of his Sword Art. He had no doubt lost the bet, and even if he planned to cheat, Peng Yu and Master Mu no longer could manipulate the outcome.

If he were to lose the bet, he would need to pay ten thousand Arcane Realm Stones!

Ten thousand Arcane Realm Stones was a huge fortune. Even with his identity as the Prince of the Maple Kingdom, he could not afford it.

The Six-Eared Divine Being’s tone changed as he said, “Qin Nan, since you possess three black lines and have some conflict with the Saintess, if you were to call off the bet and hand over this Sacred Weapon fragment and Divine Swordmaster’s record of his Sword Art, I’ll erase the three black lines on you—sound good?”

Although it sounded like a suggestion, the tone of the Six-Eared Divine Being made it feel like Qin Nan had no choice but to obey it.

The eyes of Peng Yu, Master Mu, and the Maple Prince glistened after hearing the words, as they wore a slight hint of joy on their faces.

It appears that the Six-Eared Divine Being is on our side, thus we won’t have to worry about being punished.

Both Sima Kong and Qin Nan were utterly furious.

As expected of the Trading Alliance, nobody could ever match their shamelessness.

Both the fragment of the Sacred Weapon and the Divine Swordmaster’s record could be sold at a shocking price.

And now this Six-Eared Divine Being plans to claim their possessions by offering to erase Qin Nan’s three black lines?

Before Qin Nan and Sima Kong could go enraged, Jianghuang who was floating in mid-air slightly frowned and said, “Six-Eared Divine Being, isn’t that unacceptable? These two items here are extremely valuable. Erasing the three black lines alone could not match their value. Besides, they are still so young.”

The eyes of the Six-Eared Divine Being flickered.

When he heard the spoken words by Peng Yu regarding the incident, he had no doubt chosen to side with his Saintess.

Therefore, according to his original plan, he would blackmail Qin Nan using the erasure of the three black lines as his offer to gain possession of the Sacred Weapon fragment and the Divine Swordmaster’s record, which would then be presented as the finale items in the upcoming Ancient Dragon Auction. After the Ancient Dragon Auction took place, he would then mark Qin Nan with three black lines once again.

However, with Jianghuang interfering, the situation was trickier than he had thought.

After all, Jianghuang was the City Lord of Jianghuang City. Apart from his half-Martial Highness cultivation, the rank of his Martial Spirit was also stronger than his own too. Not to mention that Jianghuang had people from the two Sacred Areas supporting him. Therefore, even the Trading Alliance could not easily offend him.

“Jianghuang, you are right. If that’s the case, I’ll help Qin Nan erase the three black lines and I’ll be the middle-person in charge of resolving the conflict between Qin Nan and the Saintess, how does that sound? I’m sure you are aware of the consequences for offending our Saintess and the Trading Alliance at the same time!” The Six-Eared Divine Being spoke slowly after a brief hesitation.

No matter what happened today, I must claim possessions of these two pieces of treasures.

As for resolving his conflict with the Saintess?

Erasing the three black lines?

After getting his hands on the treasures, he would immediately disregard his promise!

Jianghuang frowned his eyebrows. He was aware of the conspiracy the Six-Eared Divine Being was planning, but he had not expected him to be this shameless; his act was no different than a robbery.

Before Jianghuang could speak, Qin Nan suddenly burst out laughing, “HAHAHA, How nice of the Trading Alliance, the Saintess, and the Six-Eared Divine Being!”

His words caused the crowd to focus their attention onto his figure.

They could only see Qin Nan’s face turning cold as he spoke, “In order to acquire my belongings, your Saintess has marked me with three black lines, and even abuses her power to bring me trouble! And now you of the Trading Alliance plan to rob my treasures too. Do you guys really think I’m one to be bullied easily?
