Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2728: Chapter 2628: Nian Family Auction House

Wyatt Barnes walked behind the crowd with his hands behind his back, his face calm, devoid of joy or sorrow.

Even when those two Rohe Immortals sent by the Nian family’s auction house appeared in front of him, ready to strike, his expression remained unchanged, calm as still waters.

The reason he could remain so composed was not because he was confident in handling the Rohe Immortals, but because he knew the Rohe Immortals from the Flowing Time Inn would not stand by and do nothing.

Before he killed that young man, Wyatt Barnes already knew:

As long as the Rohe Immortal from the Flowing Time Inn following the crowd didn’t stop him from killing that young man, there was no way he could succeed.

And if the other party did not intervene, it meant they tacitly allowed him to kill that young man.

In such a situation, he naturally did not worry about the consequences of killing that young man.

And indeed, things turned out as he expected:

When those two Rohe Immortals from the Nian family’s auction house appeared before him, ready to act against him, the two Rohe Immortals from the Flowing Time Inn also appeared in front of him, but it was to protect him rather than deal with him.

"The fact that these two Rohe Immortals from the Nian family’s auction house retreated in the face of difficulties... It seems the two Rohe Immortals from the Flowing Time Inn must have mentioned the ’Fourth Prince’ at that critical moment."

Wyatt Barnes could easily guess this.

Five days prior, the manager of the Flowing Time Inn had witnessed the ’confrontation’ between him and the Fourth Prince of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Imperial Family. During that confrontation, his strong presence had made the Fourth Prince wary, not daring to provoke him lightly.

And the fact that the Fourth Prince dared not provoke him highlighted his extraordinary nature.

As long as the two Rohe Immortals from the Flowing Time Inn revealed this to the two Rohe Immortals from the Nian family’s auction house, unless their brains were kicked by a donkey, they certainly would not dare to act against him.

Not when someone the Fourth Prince of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation didn’t dare to touch...

What courage would just two Rohe Immortals from the Nian family have to act?

Along the way, Wyatt Barnes could feel the apprehension the guests from the Flowing Time Inn had toward him.

He could understand this.

After all, he had just killed someone who was staying at the Flowing Time Inn without facing any punishment from them, and even more, the people from the inn had covered for him.

"We have arrived!"

About a quarter of an hour later, the voice of the Rohe Immortal from the Nian family’s auction house leading the way came, causing Wyatt Barnes and the others to halt their steps and look forward.

Ahead, a vast and splendid building appeared before Wyatt Barnes and the others. At a glance, every detail of the building was meticulously crafted and exquisitely carved, captivating the eyes.

"Is this the Nian family’s auction house? It’s quite grand."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

"However... this doesn’t seem to be the main entrance?"

At the same time, Wyatt Barnes noticed that no one else was visible at the entrance of this Nian family’s auction house, and the door seemed somewhat out of place with the grandeur of the building, more like a side door or back door.

"Please, come in."

After the two Rohe Immortals sent by the Nian family’s auction house entered, several attendants from the auction house came out to welcome Wyatt Barnes and the others inside.

They were each provided with a private booth.

The Nian family’s auction house had three floors of booths in total, and Wyatt Barnes and the others were led to a booth on the second floor. Whether by coincidence or intention, Wyatt Barnes entered a booth named ’Earth Number One’.

It was also the best-located booth in the center of the second floor.

The window of the booth faced directly toward the auction stage.

"This Nian family’s auction house is indeed quite large... It’s bigger than any auction house I’ve ever visited."

Sitting by the window of the booth, Wyatt Barnes looked at the auction stage and the rows of seats in the grand hall, inwardly sighing.

In front of Wyatt Barnes, there was an intricately carved wooden table with tea utensils on it.

At present, a lovely-looking maid was pouring tea for him...

"How should I address you, Young Master?"

As she poured the tea, the maid gave Wyatt Barnes a sweet smile.

"My surname is ’Wyatt’."

Wyatt took the tea the maid had poured for him, sipped it, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Good tea!"

As he sipped the tea, Wyatt could distinctly feel a gentle force from the tea flowing through his ninety-nine Heavenly Veins.

Though it did not enhance his cultivation, it gave him a remarkably comfortable feeling.

He felt a warm sensation all over his body.

"Young Master Wyatt, this is the tea developed by our family’s Third Elder in his youth, called ’Warm Spring Tea’... Although it is not a celestial tea that can enhance cultivation, it gives the drinker a feeling of spring warmth and a sensation of spring water flowing directly through the Heavenly Veins."

The maid explained.

"Warm Spring Tea? That’s a nice name, like the tea itself."

Wyatt Barnes nodded in approval.

Following this, Wyatt Barnes chatted casually with the maid for a while, and learned about the three tiers of private rooms in the Nian Family Auction House, namely the ’Heavenly Character Room’, ’Earthly Character Room’, and ’Human Character Room’.

Among them, the Heavenly Character Room is only open to the Imperial Family members of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation.

Of course, if people from other Upper Immortal Kingdoms’ Imperial Families come, they too will be arranged into the Heavenly Character Room.

Thus, the Heavenly Character Room is essentially reserved for the Imperial Family.

"The number one Earthly Character Room is the best room available for anyone other than those from the Imperial Family of Upper Immortal Kingdoms... Even if an emperor from a Medium Immortal Kingdom arrives at this Nian Family Auction House, at most they can only be arranged into this number one Earthly Character Room."

"I never expected... The Nian Family Auction House would actually arrange me into this number one Earthly Character Room."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

Now, he can be one hundred percent certain:

The manager of the Nian Family Auction House definitely knows he is unafraid of the Fourth Prince, otherwise, they wouldn’t have arranged for him to enter this number one Earthly Character Room.

"If the manager of the Nian Family Auction House knew I had no substantial background... I’m afraid he’d be furious and would immediately kick me out of this number one Earthly Character Room!"

Wyatt Barnes secretly thought sarcastically.

He didn’t expect that merely putting on a show in front of the Fourth Prince of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation would bring him such great convenience.

Yet, currently, he’s also enjoying this convenience in tranquility.

After all, to a certain extent, not only was it a performance, but it was also an adventure.

Before long, the auction began.

On the auction stage, a host appeared, a noble and luxurious, extremely voluptuous beauty. As soon as she spoke, her voice was not only pleasant but also filled with allure.

As the beauty spoke, various auction items were brought onto the stage and auctioned off.

An hour passed, and Wyatt Barnes did not bid.

Because, up until now, he hadn’t seen anything he wanted.

Wyatt Barnes continued to drink tea.

And the maid beside him kept pouring tea for him continuously.

...

Within the Nian Family Auction House, the Heavenly Character Room is exclusively for the Imperial Family members of Upper Immortal Kingdoms.

Of course, if important figures from forces stronger than Upper Immortal Kingdoms arrive, they will surely be invited into the Heavenly Character Room, though, up to now, such an occurrence has yet to happen at the Nian Family Auction House.

Because no important figures of that level have ever come to the Nian Family Auction House.

Inside the number one Heavenly Character Room, it is splendid and magnificent, whether in decor or layout, it far surpasses the number one Earthly Character Room where Wyatt Barnes resides.

Now, sitting at the jade table in the Heavenly Character Room, is a handsome young man.

This handsome young man is wearing a white robe edged with gold, his face fair with a hint of rosy glow, seemingly breakable at a touch, even women would envy it.

However, his eyebrows exude a masculine charm, which, combined with the rosy fair skin, creates a contradictory combination, adding a few touches of allure to his entire persona.

The two maidens standing before the jade table sometimes sneak glances at this handsome young man, and each time they do, their cheeks inevitably show hints of shy blush.

"Your Highness the Thirteenth Prince... This minor auction doesn’t really have anything worthwhile, would you rather wait for the major auction?"

The manager of the Nian Family Auction House, an elderly man beyond seventy, with a humble smile on his face, spoke to the handsome young man.

"I came this time just to join some excitement, not intending to bid for anything."

Upon hearing the words from the manager of Nian Family Auction House, the handsome young man responded indifferently and did not look at the manager at any point.

It’s noteworthy that the manager of Nian Family Auction House is a ’Mystic Realm Love Rowan Upper Immortal’, vastly different from the four ’Yellow Realm Love Rowan Upper Immortals’ who escorted Wyatt Barnes and others to the Nian Family Auction House before.

Yet the handsome young man seemed to completely ignore him with his words.

Instead of being displeased, he felt it was only right.

"But..."

Just as the manager of Nian Family Auction House was about to say something further, the middle-aged man standing behind the handsome young man, who was resting with closed eyes earlier, suddenly opened his eyes.

His gaze, as sharp as electricity, fell upon the manager of Nian Family Auction House.

"Your Highness the Thirteenth Prince, should you need anything, just have the maid inform me."

Being stared at by the middle-aged man behind the handsome young man, the manager of Nian Family Auction House felt chills down his spine, and after a shiver ran through his body, he excused himself hurriedly.

If his caution toward the handsome young man was due to his ’status’, then his caution toward the middle-aged man was due to the ’power’.

"Unbelievable... The person beside the Thirteenth Prince is actually a ’Heavenly Realm Love Rowan Upper Immortal’! That gaze, I’ve only felt it from the Elder Ancestor before..."

After leaving the number one Heavenly Character Room, the manager of Nian Family Auction House broke out in a cold sweat.
