On Black Corner Region's side.
Xiao Yu and Xue Ni called Zi Yan and headed towards the destination of opening the store. Just like they usually did when dealing with Xiao Cheng, they packed up the pastries first and opened the store for business.
It's just that at this time, Zi Yan seemed to be a little angry about getting out of bed, and couldn't help but yawned and muttered.
"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, I want to eat pastries, pastries... order"
Seeing this, Xiao Yu sighed helplessly and thought to himself.
"Is this girl really just a foodie?"
However, she still brought some pastries to Zi Yan for her to eat. Of course, they didn't give her such a big plate.
At this time, Sun Ming didn't know why he came here so early. He seemed to be here to see Xiao Cheng.
"Sister Xiao Yu, is that Shop Owner Xiao here?"
Seeing this guy acting so coquettishly, she said doubtfully.
"Do you have anything to do with the store manager?"
"Something happened"
"Is it important?"
she continued to ask.
Sun Ming thought for a while and it seemed that it might not be important, then he said.
"It should be quite important"
"I'm sorry, the store manager is not here, and I can't help you."
Xiao Yu said with helpless hands, obviously he himself couldn't help Sun Ming.
"By the way, what do you want the store manager to do for you?"
Seeing Xiao Yu asking about business, Sun Ming scratched his head in embarrassment and said.
"I suddenly want to become a disciple of Shop Owner Xiao and let him teach me more advanced Dou Technique"
Xiao Yu was speechless, Xue Ni also shook his head and said.
"You should give up on this idea. The store manager never accepts apprentices. Even if he does accept apprentices, they are still apprentices learning how to make pastries. Don't even think about anything else."
Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Sun Ming's face, but it quickly disappeared. He said with firm eyes.
"It doesn't matter. I believe my sincerity will impress Shop Owner Xiao. I will never give up."
Seeing how stubborn the child was, the two looked at each other and saw something in each other's eyes.
Isn't this child a fool?
But since Sun Ming is so determined to go to Shang Gang, they can't persuade them, so they can only sigh secretly and go to work.
Sun Ming turned around and left.
At this time, Che Cheng, who was cleaning on the side, had a flash of light in his eyes, but it passed away briefly. Then he glanced at Sun Ming vaguely, and then continued to sweep the floor.
In Black Seal City, today is the day when the auction is about to begin. Yuan Yi and Mu Jie are discussing some issues about the auction in their hall study.
"Has everything for the auction been arranged?"
"Master, everything has been arranged. Shop Owner Xiao's pastries will be auctioned as the finale of this auction."
After hearing Mu Jie's words, Yuan Yi smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, now basically everyone who can come is here. Some of the major forces must also know that Shop Owner Xiao will have some cooperation with us, so Shop Owner Xiao's new pastry can be revealed a little to whet their appetite."
Mu Jie said hesitantly after hearing this.
"Would this divert their attention from the auction to Shop Owner Xiao pastries, so they can investigate it?"
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if we investigate. Now we Eight Sects Gate are the leaders. If they want to get this new pastry, they must abide by the rules here."
As he spoke, a confident smile appeared on his lips, obviously he was extremely confident about this auction.
Mu Jie nodded, and then talked about other trivial matters with him.
Seeing that there was no problem with the auction, he waved away Mu Jie, but he fell into thinking.
His fingers tapped on the table, as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment, he seemed to have made a decision, clasped his palms together and murmured.
"That's it"
At this time, in a certain house in Black Seal City.
Fan Lao of the Blood Sect was chatting with his son who had just returned from Ruyi.
"You mean Shop Owner Xiao isn't going out anymore?"
"Yeah, but I wasn't idle either. I bought some other pastries."
Fan Ling said rather helplessly.
"It's okay, by the way, the auction is about to start. I guess Eight Sects Gate must have some cooperation with Shop Owner Xiao. This auction is definitely not just like the previous ones, just some natural treasures, top-notch Dou Technique and so on."
After hearing his father's words, Fan Ling said hesitantly.
"Father, are you saying that pastries made by Shop Owner Xiao may appear at this auction?"
"Not necessarily, this is just my guess."
He looked at Fan Ling, shook his head and said with a smile.
"We won't know what happened until the auction starts."
He said with a sigh.
Fan Ling nodded, seemingly thoughtfully, and did not continue to ask any more questions.
And in the main hall of the Black Emperor Sect on the other side.
Mo Tianxing, who was sitting at the head of the Black Emperor Sect hall, was chatting with Qi Shan about this Black Seal City Auction incident.
"There probably won't be anything we need in this auction, but we can't be careless. There might be an accident. You can just take care of it by yourself."
Mo Tianxing said slightly casually, obviously he didn't take this auction seriously at first, but it's not a loss if he can take pictures of useful things.
After hearing the sect leader's words, Qi Shan responded respectfully.
"Yes, Sect Master, I know how to do it."
At this time, Mo Tianxing suddenly asked about Che Cheng.
"By the way, is there any information from Che Cheng?"
Qi Shan said quickly.
"There is information coming through, it's like this..."
He succinctly stated what Che Cheng wanted to express in his letter.
After a while, Mo Tianxing closed his eyes and thought, then opened his eyes after a while and said.
"Shop Owner Xiao actually has a relationship with the Jia Nan Academy, which I didn't expect. Moreover, the relationship between Rakshasa Gate and Shop Owner Xiao is actually good. It seems that we need to cooperate with Su Mei of Rakshasa Gate."
After hearing the clan's words, Qi Shan hesitated for a while before speaking.
"We Black Emperor Sect are a super first-class force. Black Corner Region can be considered one of the overlords here. Rakshasa Gate is only a first-class force. Why not just..."
He made a gesture of wiping his neck, obviously wanting to kill Rakshasa Gate, but was stopped by Mo Tianxing.
I saw him shaking his head and saying.
"It is easy to destroy a force, but this is not the main purpose. The main purpose is that Shop Owner Xiao's store is opened in Rakshasa City, and the current Rakshasa Gate is not the previous Rakshasa Gate. I sent people to find out that their current strength has at least more than doubled."
"What! The whole thing has more than doubled."
He couldn't believe what the sect leader said, but the serious look on his face couldn't be faked, so he had no choice but to believe it.
"So now we can win over Rakshasa Gate, and it is best to make him our affiliated sect. In this way, Black Emperor Sect can not only expand his power, but also gather a wave of powerful combat power, and also have a good relationship with Shop Owner Xiao. Why not kill three birds with one stone?"
He fell into thinking, and after a moment, nodded.
"Sect Master, what you said makes sense, let's do what you say."
Mo Tianxing waved his hands.
"Now is not the time. You should go to the auction first."
Qi Shan nodded and retreated, while Mo Tianxing himself sat there and meditated, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, Xiao Cheng was still busy making drinks in the kitchen, but he was not in the mood to care about other things. If he knew that the sect leaders of those forces were so eager to make plans, he would probably be quite speechless.
