There was one more item that was brought out after this mysterious seed that Lin Fan wasn’t interested in, but clearly everyone else was based on the number of bids that was made on it.
It almost even felt like this was the climax of the auction to Lin Fan.
But if that was the case, what about the egg that he had been shown at the Mercenary Guild?
Why hadn’t it been auctioned yet?
The stranger thing was that other than the first item, the people on the second floor hadn’t made a single bid for another item.
If they weren’t going to bid on any items, what did they come here for?
But all of these questions were quickly answered after this item was sold.
That was because when the next item was brought out, it was clear that this item was on a completely different scale compared to the items that had been sold before. This was an item that only true cultivators would need, it wasn’t something that normal people could afford.
It was a Foundation Breakthrough Pill.
This was a pill that would help a cultivator with their breakthrough to the Foundation Realm, increasing their chance of success. This was something that anyone that wanted to follow the path of cultivation needed.
Something like this was normally only found in sects since they were the one that hoarded pills like these, but now there was one being auctioned off by the One Martial Chamber of Commerce. Not to mention that it was clearly only the first item that was being sold in this new set of items.
However, it was clear that these items weren’t directed at the people on the first floor, but rather the people on the second floor.
After all, the currency that was being used with these items was spirit stones and not gold coins.
Spirit stones were the currency of cultivators, they were not things that mortals could get easily.
The conversion rate for these spirit stones were ten thousand gold coins to one, but even then, it was very unlikely to get spirit stones for that kind of price.
But for Lin Fan, it made one thing clear.
He understood why those people had chosen to leave and it was because of this reason that he also chose to leave at this point.
The girls were confused why they were leaving early, but Lin Fan just replied, “There’ll be trouble if we stay any longer.”
The girls were still confused when they heard this, but they trusted Lin Fan, so they all headed out of the auction hall with Lin Fan.
As they were leaving, Lin Fan cautiously looked around to see if anyone was following them.
This was the main reason why he was leaving early.
In this kind of barbaric world, there were many people that liked to take the things that they wanted with violence. That was why the One Martial Chamber of Commerce had set up an area to exchange for items that were successfully won that could be used during the auction. It was to allow people to leave whenever they wanted.
At the end of the auction, there would certainly be people who would have other ideas about the people who won items. So before they could act, it was better to leave early.
Lin Fan didn’t have that many important items in the first place, so it was unlikely that he would be attacked, but he still wanted to be sure.
So leaving while those people with other intentions were focused on the people who won the big items was the best idea.
Lin Fan quickly paid for the items that he won and just as quickly threw them all into the Pet Storage Space.
Without waiting for anything, he headed back to the inn with the girls.
Only when he was safely in his room did he finally relax.
…
Back at the auction, in young master Ye’s VIP room.
There was someone that suddenly knocked on the door and the servant went to see who it was.
After a minute, the servant came back with an envelope in his hand that he handed to young master Ye.
Young master Ye took it and after reading it over, he slightly knitted his brows before asking, “Are you certain that the information on this is true?”
The servant gave a firm nod before saying, “I had them double check this before getting back to me. There is no mistake that the information is 100% true.”
Young master Ye knitted his brows even deeper when he heard this as he started tapping the armrest of his chair out of habit. After a period of deep thought, he said, “Move the death squad, I want to make sure that nothing will go wrong.”
The servant couldn’t help revealing a surprised look when he heard this.
The death squad was one of the squad of warriors that had been trained by the Ye Family, but they weren’t just any squad. This was a squad that was considered the elites of the Ye Family that had thousands of spirit stones invested in them.
Just losing a single one of the death squad would be a serious loss for the Ye Family, so deploying them here was a bit…
Still, seeing the serious look on young master Ye’s face, the servant couldn’t say anything. He just gave a bow before going off to pass down young master Ye’s orders.
At the same time though, there was someone else that came into the room with another envelope.
The servant was in no mood for this, but after seeing what was written on the envelope and hearing what the messenger said, he still decided to give the envelope to young master Ye.
Young master Ye looked at the tag on the envelope and revealed an interested look before taking the envelope.
After opening it, he held the photo that was inside the envelope in front of his face as he asked, “Did he already leave?”
The servant gave a nod before asking, “Young master, did you want us to send someone to follow him? I’ll get on that right now if you want someone to follow him.”
Young master Ye waved his hand and said, “There’s no need for that. We’ll meet again if we’re fated to meet…” Then after a pause, he said, “But I feel like we’re fated to meet again.”
The servant couldn’t help looking at young master Ye with a strange look when he heard this.
He had never seen the young master being interested in anyone like this, but now…
It was almost as if…
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he immediately shook his head to throw out that thought since even he thought that it was blasphemy.
But then he heard something that completely shocked him.
“He’s quite handsome, isn’t he?”
The servant immediately froze in place when he heard this.
He wanted to turn back to look at young master Ye with a look of shock, but at the same time, he didn’t dare turn back…After all, if young master Ye were to see him doing this, he could imagine what his fate would be…
But this was the young master Ye that had never approached any women before, the one that kept all women at an arm’s length…He was the cold and aloof young master that countless women dreamed of.
But could the reason that he didn’t approach any woman be…
Could it be that the young master…liked…
No, he couldn’t keep thinking like this!
The servant once again shook his head and threw out all these thoughts.
He was nothing more than a lowly servant of the Ye Family, this was not something that he was qualified to think about.
The master had already said that the young master would decide who he would love, so this was not something that a servant like him needed to meddle in.
The servant lowered his head and ran off to do his own thing.
As for young master Ye, he was left sitting there, looking at Lin Fan’s picture with a smile on his face.
…
[Ye Qing Huan has been intrigued by you. Affection has increased by 10.]
The moment that Lin Fan saw this notification, he couldn’t help being shocked by it.
Ye Qing Huan…
Who was this?
But the surname of this person was Ye, so could it be that it was related to Ye Tian Xie? The young master from the Ye Family? The one that was connected to the Heavenly Demon Sect?
But why would this person be intrigued by him?
After all, he didn’t have anything to do with the Ye Family and he had never met Ye Tian Xie before.
While they were at the same auction, they had been separated by an entire floor. Even when Ye Tian Xie headed to the second floor, he shouldn’t have seen Lin Fan in his private booth…
There was no connection between the two of them and yet there was this sudden notification.
But after being unable to come up with a single clue, Lin Fan decided to give up on thinking about this.
It was unlikely that he would ever meet this person, so he would just treat it as a chance encounter. After all, it wasn’t like he was going to seek out every person that had affection for him.
If they were fated to meet, they would meet.
So after that thought, Lin Fan focused on his own matters.
