"Such a bad temper!"
Almost catching up with Shi Sheng now.
Weren’t they having a nice conversation? Why suddenly get angry? Si Nan was a bit puzzled. Could it be that being old made them sensitive and unable to hear talk about going to a brothel?
Forget it.
If he doesn’t want to go, then don’t go! Although, because of Ye Liuyun, Si Nan wasn’t worried that the other party would really try to kill him.
But there’s no need to foolishly provoke others.
After clicking his tongue twice, he stood firmly again, though his gaze couldn’t help but wander towards the old man.
,,,
"There really are talented people around you, Sir!"
Inside the room.
Ye Liuyun was still seated, but Xie Ling’Er had already naturally leaned closer.
Clearly, Xie Ling’Er had heard the commotion outside, and couldn’t help but tease with a smile.
Though it was somewhat playful,
it couldn’t be denied that Si Nan indeed had great instincts and acted with incredible efficiency.
The old man was just someone from the Xie Clan’s Merchant Association, a guard assigned to Xie Ling’Er, not really a close confidant, going through the motions was fine usually.
"What’s your purpose?"
Ye Liuyun had no intention of idle chatting with Xie Ling’Er, and spoke directly.
Following suit, he looked at Xie Ling’Er beside him.
Though the beauty was enticing, Ye Liuyun wasn’t someone who thought with his lower half. Besides, everyone around Ye Liuyun was exceedingly beautiful, so he was immune to it by now.
"Sir, do you remember the internal auction of the Xie Clan’s Merchant Association I mentioned before?"
Xie Ling’Er was quite perceptive.
Seeing that Ye Liuyun didn’t want to waste words, she directly stated her purpose.
"The auction?"
Ye Liuyun, of course, remembered.
Xie Ling’Er had said that aside from the regular auctions held monthly at the populous buildings in each region,
the Xie Clan’s Merchant Association also had special internal auctions.
However, only members of the Xie family or those who were on good terms with them could attend these auctions; outsiders weren’t qualified.
Similarly,
because it was an internal auction, the items auctioned wouldn’t be comparable to those in regular auctions.
"Isn’t there still some time left?"
Ye Liuyun remembered that according to Xie Ling’Er, such auctions might happen only once or twice a year.
By his calculations, it should still be several months away.
Hearing Ye Liuyun’s curiosity,
Xie Ling’Er explained with a cheerful smile.
"I heard that the Patriarch somehow acquired a rather impressive treasure, so they decided to hold the auction earlier. That’s why I came to find you, Sir!"
An impressive treasure?
This made Ye Liuyun raise his brow slightly.
He recalled silently wishing before that he wanted to acquire a fine Spiritual Artifact.
Could it be a case of wish fulfillment? Delivering the treasure to him in a ’reasonable’ manner?
However,
this was mere speculation. The true situation would only be clear upon seeing it himself.
"When, exactly?"
Having made up his mind, Ye Liuyun asked directly.
Upon hearing this, Xie Ling’Er’s face lit up with joy, and she quickly replied.
"We’ll depart in three days!"
Since Ye Liuyun had said this, it was clear he agreed.
If she could bring a young Grandmaster like Ye Liuyun back to the main family, surely her standing there would rise significantly. By then, who would dare look down on her?
Three days, huh?
Ye Liuyun wasn’t bothered by Xie Ling’Er’s emotional change, instead, he lowered his head to think.
Fu Zhengqing’s plan was for the Heaven-Sacrificing Ceremony in a month.
If he went to the auction and returned, it wouldn’t even take a month. Perfect, and if he got a fine Spiritual Artifact, it might have unexpected effects when the time came to act.
"Good!"
With that thought, Ye Liuyun nodded.
Receiving Ye Liuyun’s definite answer, the smile on Xie Ling’Er’s face became even brighter.
"If there’s anything you fancy at that time, Sir, feel free to tell me. Being a member of the Xie family, I should have some sway with ordinary trinkets!"
Xie Ling’Er didn’t overpromise.
Ordinary things were indeed fine, but if it were something precious, that would be different. She wasn’t yet incorporated into the main family lineage; she was considered an auxiliary branch.
"No need!"
With a wave of his hand,
Ye Liuyun smiled indifferently.
"The things I want will ultimately end up in my hands!"
Ye Liuyun didn’t need anyone’s help, he wasn’t interested in trinkets, and as for truly precious items, he would acquire them himself.
"Worthy of being you, Sir!"
Seeing Ye Liuyun like this,
Xie Ling’Er seemed to be even more enamored, and moved her body closer to Ye Liuyun’s side.
The enchanting fragrance naturally surrounded Ye Liuyun.
"Since everything’s been discussed, aren’t you going back?"
Looking at Xie Ling’Er, Ye Liuyun asked with a curious smile.
"Would you be willing to let me leave just like that, Sir?"
Xie Ling’Er didn’t mind, instead looking at Ye Liuyun with affection in her eyes.
