Tiandou Auction House

At this, Xue Qinghe merely nodded lightly and asked no further questions.

Although Ye Xi had not specified who she had in mind, Xue Qinghe could guess that the candidate she meant was the Defense Clan, who specialized in construction.

"Since it's decided, let's head back."

"There are still some procedures to go through before this place can be allocated to you."

After reaching out to pat Ye Xi on the shoulder, Xue Qinghe headed back the way they had come.

"Mm, let's go back."

After agreeing, Ye Xi followed Xue Qinghe's steps.

As they walked back, Xue Qinghe seemed to recall something and turned his gaze toward Ye Xi.

"Xiao Xi, Tiandou Auction House is holding an auction tomorrow. Are you interested in taking a look?"

Xue Qinghe asked as they walked.

"An auction?"

"Then let's go take a look. There hasn't been much to do lately anyway."

After thinking for a moment, Ye Xi agreed directly.

"Then I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning."

Xue Qinghe looked at Ye Xi, a faint smile appearing in his eyes.

Before long, the two arrived in front of Ye Xi's mansion, where Xue Qinghe stopped.

"You two go on inside."

"I can return to the palace by myself."

After speaking, Xue Qinghe waved to Ye Xi and headed toward the Tiandou Imperial Palace.

Watching Xue Qinghe leave, Ye Xi pushed open the gates and led Ling Yuan straight into the mansion.

"Second Young Lady."

"Ling Yuan Elder, you're back."

Seeing the two return, Tian Yao immediately walked toward them.

"Mm, everything has more or less been taken care of."

"Sister Tian Yao, Tiandou Auction House is holding an auction tomorrow. Would you like to come with us?"

Ye Xi sat down in the mansion, her Sapphire Blue eyes looking at Tian Yao as she awaited her answer.

"Tiandou Auction House?"

"Second Young Lady, I'm not very interested in auction houses, but I'm very interested in the Tiandou Great Soul Arena."

"If we have time, let's go take a look at the Great Soul Arena."

Tian Yao looked expectantly at Ye Xi.

"Sure. The Tiandou Great Soul Arena is a good place. Participating in Soul Fighting matches from time to time can also help accumulate Combat Experience."

Ye Xi agreed without much thought.

"Mm, that's what I think too."

"There's no harm in gaining some Combat Experience."

A smile appeared on Tian Yao's delicate face, and she looked quite happy.

"Then go back and rest for now."

"After we attend the auction at Tiandou Auction House tomorrow, we'll go take a look at the Great Soul Arena."

Ye Xi rose from her seat, stretched her waist, and walked toward her room.

After answering in agreement, Tian Yao and Ling Yuan also returned to their own rooms.

Elsewhere.

The Nine Heart Begonia Family.

In an antique room, Ye Qingxue, the family head, silently flipped through the information in her hands.

"Is this all the information you managed to uncover?"

Ye Qingxue placed the information in her hand on the table and looked at the several disciples before her.

"Family Head, this is all the information we were able to gather."

One disciple stepped forward and answered respectfully.

"Mm. Have everyone gathering information return. There's no need to continue investigating."

Ye Qingxue lightly waved her hand, signaling for the disciples before her to withdraw.

"Yes, Family Head."

After acknowledging the order, the disciples silently withdrew.

Once all the disciples had left, Ye Qingxue clasped her hands together, deep contemplation appearing in her eyes.

Based on the information they had gathered alone, Ye Qingxue could see tremendous potential in Ye Xi. Someone like her was worth befriending for the Nine Heart Begonia Family from every perspective.

"Ling Ling, perhaps you were right this time."

"That little girl Ye Xi is indeed a very good choice, but before making a choice, we need to see what Ye Xi thinks."

"It seems we need to find a suitable opportunity to make contact with that little girl, Ye Xi."

Ye Qingxue murmured to herself, though a gentle look appeared on her fair face.

Ye Qingxue rose to her feet and walked to the window, quietly gazing in the direction of Ye Xi's Mansion.

"Little girl, I hope you won't disappoint me when the time comes."

Ye Qingxue's voice was very gentle, yet thoughts continued to churn within her calm eyes.

The next day, early morning.

As soon as Ye Xi stepped out of her room, she saw Xue Qinghe sitting not far away, leisurely drinking fruit juice.

"When did you get here?"

Ye Xi could not help but look slightly surprised as she watched Xue Qinghe ahead of her.

"I've been here for a while. You were sleeping so soundly that I didn't have Ling Yuan wake you."

"Come have some breakfast. I didn't know what you liked, so I just bought a little of everything."

"After we eat, we'll head to the Tiandou Auction House."

Xue Qinghe set down his fruit juice and pointed toward the breakfast spread across the table.

"Alright."

After agreeing, Ye Xi sat down at the table and began eating the breakfast before her.

Before long, after finishing breakfast, Ye Xi, Xue Qinghe, and Ling Yuan headed for the Tiandou Auction House.

Since Tian Yao had no interest in the Tiandou Auction House, she remained at the Mansion to cultivate.

When the group arrived at the entrance of the Tiandou Auction House, they saw the staff standing at the door handing out masks to every guest entering the venue.

This was done to protect the guests' privacy and safety after they entered the auction house.

Of course, anyone confident enough not to fear being robbed after leaving the auction house could choose not to wear one.

Xue Qinghe took two masks from the staff member, putting one on himself and handing the other to Ye Xi.

As for Ling Yuan, she had no need for one at all.

After all, no one had ever dared to rob a Titled Douluo.

Upon entering the auction house, Ye Xi found that it was laid out in a radial ring formation. Rows upon rows of seats surrounded the venue, while a circular platform stood at its center.

Moreover, the seats were divided into five sections, distinguished by five different colors: red, black, purple, yellow, and white.

The red section required at least one million Gold Soul Coins, as well as a certain level of status and standing, to be seated there.

The black section was the ordinary VIP area. Anyone with one million Gold Soul Coins could sit there.

The purple section required five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.

The yellow section required one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.

The white section was the outermost and largest area, where ordinary guests sat.

Using his status as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe brought Ye Xi and Ling Yuan to seats in the auction house's red section.

The three had only just taken their seats when a pretty staff member in revealing attire approached with a professional smile. In her hands was an exquisitely designed tray carrying a pot of tea and several teacups.
