Heaven Dou Auction House

Besides being useful for saving his life, this technique of Li Yuan's was also highly suited for gathering intelligence.

No matter how imaginative someone might be, they would never guess that the ants crawling on the ground and the birds perched in the trees were all Li Yuan's clones.

They might be wary of strangers, but they would overlook these inconspicuous little animals.

That gave Li Yuan an opening.

He was certain that after being beaten up by him, Luon En would not let the matter rest. He would definitely come looking for trouble again.

But it did not matter. From now on, every move Luon En made would be within his sight. Li Yuan could make the necessary arrangements in advance, set traps, or avoid him beforehand.

In short, Luon En would be unable to pose any threat to Li Yuan.

"Li Xiaoyao, you were too impulsive just now. Luon En is a noble. You beat him up, so I'm afraid you'll get yourself into trouble."

At the same time, Tang Weiwei, who had been standing there in a daze, finally came back to her senses. She looked at Li Yuan with concern, clearly worried that Luon En would retaliate against him.

However, Li Yuan looked utterly unconcerned. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. Nothing will happen. This is Heaven Dou City. No matter how bold Luon En is, he won't dare act recklessly here."

Li Yuan naturally understood what nobles were like. Although he had never dealt with the nobles of Douluo Continent before, he could roughly imagine them by looking at how the Celestial Dragons behaved in the world of One Piece.

Every last one of them was the type to hold grudges over the slightest slight. After being beaten by him, they would never swallow their anger. Even if they did not dare act recklessly within Heaven Dou City, once he left the city, Luon En would definitely send Spirit Masters from the Luon Family to ambush him along the way.

Of course, Li Yuan had made his own preparations as well. He was confident that the Luon Family would not be able to settle the score with him. If it came down to it, he could simply change his face and stop using the identity of Li Xiaoyao.

Heh, the Luon Family is looking for trouble with Li Xiaoyao. What does that have to do with me, Li Yuan?

With that confidence, Li Yuan was not worried in the slightest. Thus, he appeared completely relaxed in front of Tang Weiwei.

Tang Weiwei, on the other hand, became anxious and started worrying about Li Yuan.

Having lived in Heaven Dou City, Tang Weiwei naturally understood the nature of Heaven Dou Empire's nobles. Seeing Li Yuan's indifferent attitude, she assumed that he did not understand how unscrupulous those nobles could be, so she earnestly began explaining it all to him.

Afterward, she urged Li Yuan to join Spirit Hall.

Tang Weiwei was simply acting out of kindness. In her view, since Li Yuan had offended a noble of the Heaven Dou Empire, the best option was to join a powerful faction and gain its protection.

Spirit Hall and the Upper Three Sects were both good choices.

Tang Weiwei did not know much about the Upper Three Sects, but she was familiar with Spirit Hall. Moreover, Li Yuan's talent was fairly good. If he were willing to join, there would most likely be no problem.

The issue was that Li Yuan could not accept Tang Weiwei's kindness. He had too many secrets, and joining Spirit Hall would bring him more harm than benefit.

As for retaliation from that little brat Luon En, Li Yuan was not particularly worried. He could receive warning in advance.

In the end, Li Yuan politely declined Tang Weiwei's invitation. After exchanging a few pleasantries with her, he left Spirit Hall alone.

An hour later, Li Yuan appeared outside the renowned Heaven Dou Auction House in Heaven Dou City, having changed his appearance. He wore black robes patterned with red clouds and a mask over his face.

Since he intended to sell things, the Heaven Dou Auction House was undoubtedly the best choice. In particular, Li Yuan planned to sell a spirit bone in his possession. Only the Heaven Dou Auction House could fetch a suitable price for such an item.

To be safe, Li Yuan had completely changed his appearance. He wore the red-cloud robes of the Akatsuki Organization and a mask over his face.

Beneath the mask was Li Xiaoyao's face. That way, even if something unexpected happened and someone saw his face, it would not cause any major trouble.

"May I ask whether you need any assistance, sir?" Several young women serving as greeters for the auction house had clearly noticed Li Yuan. When he approached, one of them, a girl in a cheongsam, stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"Of course. I want to sell some items. If possible, have the manager speak with me." Naturally, Li Yuan was not using his own voice at the moment. Instead, he used a childish voice, somewhat similar to how he had sounded as a child.

Upon hearing that bizarre voice, the smiling girl's face twitched involuntarily. She nearly failed to maintain her sweet smile.

Fortunately, as a greeter at the auction house, she had received special training. Unless she truly could not endure it, she would not lose her composure so easily. Thus, she quickly recovered and said to Li Yuan with a smile, "I see. Then please come in with me, sir."

"However, there are a few matters I need to inform you of in advance. If you wish to sell items, they must first be appraised by an appraiser from our Heaven Dou Auction House. Only items valued at over one thousand Gold Soul Coins qualify for auction. If the auction succeeds, the auction house will take ten percent of the final price as a handling fee. Do you have any objections?"

"No problem. Lead the way!" Li Yuan's childish voice rang out again.

A ten-percent handling fee was, honestly, not a small amount. But in order to turn his goods into cash as quickly as possible, Li Yuan had no other choice but to grit his teeth and accept it.

After giving it some thought, Li Yuan decided to sell only the more valuable items in his possession that were not easy to dispose of. As for the other local specialties, he would keep them for now and find another opportunity to sell them later.

Otherwise, the handling fees alone would make Li Yuan feel as though he had suffered a massive loss.

"Very well, sir. Please come in with me." The greeter tried hard to maintain her smile, but every time she heard Li Yuan's childish voice, she could not help feeling a sense of dissonance, making her smile look slightly stiff.

Fortunately, Li Yuan had not come to look at beautiful women. He was only twelve years old, after all—a child over three meters tall and weighing more than four hundred kilograms.

Following the greeter, Li Yuan soon arrived at a room beside the main hall, marked with a sign that read "Appraisal."

Inside, eight appraisers were busily assessing the value of various items.

"Sir, this is the ordinary item appraisal room. Anything you wish to auction can be appraised here," the greeter said to Li Yuan with a smile.
