Chapter 27 A Promise (1/2)
Mo Xie is currently thinking of a way to console Shang Ting, but after a while, he immediately gave up the thought as he spoke.
”Hmm, how should I say this...”
Shang Ting hearing his word looked at him and asked: ”What do you mean?”
”Well, the way she acted... That Wang Yaling is clearly being used as a means, if you look at it this way, she would crawl to whoever has a power, can you even see her reaction?”
Mo Xie spoke as he looked at Wang Yalin from the 2nd floor, Shang Ting followed his vision and asked.
”What do you mean?”
”Hahaha, would you even blush if your father is marrying you to someone that you haven't even seen before?” Mo Xie explained as he laughed.
Shang Ting opened her eyes widely as she felt enlightened, her mouth is in a shape of an 'o' and replied: ”Then... What is she doing?”
”Basically, these people are called 'Power Diggers', they are those ones that will immediately dive in an opportunity to have power or have ties with someone that has one.”
Mo Xie looked at Shang Ting and continued: ”Can you see it? Do you think that I am someone easily pleased?”
Shang Ting opened her eyes widely again in understanding, she then blushes as she looked at the ground; 'Does that mean... I... I'm...'
”Well, you are certainly not someone like that, you met me when I was at my weakest, and I currently am, you even fought your father to fight for the promise you had given me, that is something I'm really grateful and pleased for.” Mo Xie explained like he already understood what Shang Ting is thinking.
Shang Ting became flustered as she looked at the ground, her face turned red as she punched Mo Xie on the shoulder.
”Hahaha, well, let's just see how the event unfolds.”
”Un.”

...
Hearing Wang Juxie's proposal, a lot of people felt shocked, everyone started to make a plan of their own, how could they beat such a big deal!
Ye Xuefeng glanced at his daughter, Qingchen but after a while, he shook his head and made another bid: ”Ye Family, Bids 1,000 gold taels, and the esteemed guest can pick two items from the Ye Family's treasury!”
Ma Dong felt shocked, only the people from the direct line of the Ye Family can choose a treasure from their Treasury, even then, they will need to at least accomplish something noteworthy before they can get a single treasure out, this proposal is definitely a huge deal!
Ma Dong looked at the 3rd floor for any reaction.
Mo Xie sighed, does he need to be looked at whenever there is a bid? treasury? What kind of item will even attract him in a low place like this?
”Continue, please do me the favor of selecting the five best offers and I will decide by then.” Mo Xie's voice echoed through the whole venue, everyone felt excited.
But some has a question, where is the senior from before? this struck a lot of the great clans and the City lord's faction.
Ma Dong nodded as he looked at the crowd: ”Everyone, you heard the esteemed guest!”
”Shen Clan! ....”
”Jiang Clan! ...”
Everyone started to bid again, one after another.
Meanwhile, on the 3rd floor, Shang Ting was shocked as she looked at Mo Xie: ”Hey! Why didn't you accept the Ye Family's offer?”
Mo Xie looked at Shang Ting as she replied: ”You don't want me to pick the Wang Clan's offer that much?”
Shang Ting blushes a bit but rebuked: ”The Ye Clan's the most influential family within the whole of Gangting City! Their Family had a history of 10,000 years! their treasury is sure to have a lot of great things! You will definitely find something worthy there!”
Mo Xie was shocked, this is a first for Shang Ting to actually rebuked him, he couldn't help but chuckle and replied: ”Then, I will just take an item or two after this then.”
”That... What will you give them in exchange?!” Shang Ting asked in bewilderment.
”A promise.” Mo Xie spoke so little, but within his eyes, Shang Ting can see a clear confidence.
She became speechless and could only sigh in the end, but just then, another bidder shouted.
”Alchemy Association! 1,000 Gold Taels! and I'm promising that 60% of the total profit from the pills will be given to the esteemed guest for 2 years, also, we will promise, so long as we can, we will concoct a pill for him if it is within our capabilities, we will also not steal the formula!”
Hearing this, a smile formed in Mo Xie's face: ”I pick the Alchemy Association's offer, but I will only take 35% of the total profit!” The one that placed the bid was none other than Mu Ye.
