Chapter 102 - Envoys of the Azure Kingdom (1/2)

The day of the Auction, the Xiang Kingdom was more packed than yesterday. To accommodate everyone, they are only allowed to send two people in each party. Even then, the Auction house was full to the brim. The owner and host of the auction was in tears. They have never seen their Auction House this full. They were commissioned 5% for every item that will be sold. Normally it was 10%, they gave a discount since the Emperor was the one who recommended this Auction House to the Blue Rose Sect. They were also much willing to give a discount because of the commotion it will bring, their auction house would get popular from now on. They might be able to have future transactions with the Blue Rose Sect, if they can give a satisfactory service.

Yi Ling, Minzhe and Xiang He was on the third floor of the auction private box. Yi Ling left Linyu and Haoran to watch over the sect. He was getting more reliable on baby sitting. Haoran on the other hand was more stern on disciplining the disciples. So they were balance in a way for the sect to grow.

Yi Ling also plans to recruit more Elders in the future, so that Linyu will have more people to help the sect and also to be able to bring him along with her. For this, She really need to get going. After this auction, she was ready to set out. It would help if Minzhe will stay as well, but the kid declined. He will never let her go away from his eyes again. After the incident where Yi Ling confronted King Jin, It almost gave him a heart attack. He couldn't let that situation happen again. If he has to kidnapped his own mother, he would do so.

At the moment, they were all observing the commotion down below. Everyone was trying find places to sit or to stand. A servant from the auction house entered their room and reported.

"Everyone is accounted for Sect Master and Your Majesty. We are ready to start the auction." He bowed. The Emperor had ordered Elder Zhen before, to tell the Auction House that the Sect Master should be addressed first. His Master Yi had a higher status that him.

Yi Ling nodded to Xiang He.

"En, you may start." Xiang He commanded the servant.

"Yes, your majesty." The servant bowed again and left.

"I see some Emergent Stages down below, Master." Minzhe informed them. His powers was higher than anybody, so he could easily point this out. To avoid revealing his mother's gender, He addressed her as Master instead of Mother.

Yi Ling's brows furrowed. "Which ones?" She asked.

"The ones at the front, Blue and Green Robes." Minzhe rubbed his nose. They are from the high-ranked kingdoms. It seems like news have reached there as well.

Xiang He was listening to their conversation and looked at the people at the front too. He had the same conclusions with Elder Minzhe.

"Hmm.. Do you know them?" Yi Ling asked Minzhe. Minzhe had been told her before that he was roaming around Huaxia for 200 years. Visiting Kingdoms after Kingdoms, to find the Sapphire Jade Ring.

"Yes, they are from Azure Kingdom. The color of their robes matches."
