The auction begins
"Big brother, fourth brother!" Xiao Yan called out happily.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Yu hurriedly went to greet her, the three brothers hugged each other, and then looked at Nalan Yanran.
Looking at the gazes of Xiao Ding and Xiao Yu, Nalan Yanran felt a little embarrassed, after all, there was no prior relationship between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan.
However, since Nalan Yanran is now meeting Xiao Ding and Xiao Yu as Xiao Yan's fiancée, she feels a little embarrassed.
However, Xiao Ding Xiao Ding and Xiao Yu Xiao Yu n't care about any of that. They each called out, "Sister-in-law!" and "Third sister-in-law!"
Nalan Yanran blushed slightly and agreed. After they met, they sat down in the hall.
Xiao Ding looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Your presence here this time is perfect for helping Fourth Brother. He's planning to lead the elders of the Underworld to annihilate Magic Flame Valley!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan asked with some confusion, "What kind of force is this Magic Flame Valley? Does it have a grudge against our Underworld?"
Xiao Ding said, "The Magic Flame Valley is an old power in the Black Corner Region. Recently, the Magic Flame Valley has been opposing our Underworld, and Jia Nan Academy has also been attacked by the Magic Flame Valley!"
Hearing Xiao Ding's words, Xiao Yan said, "Should we contact Jia Nan Academy this time? I think Great Elder Su Qian would also be willing to lend a hand!"
"I have already sent the letter, and I'm sure Great Elder Su Qian will send someone over soon!" At this moment, Xiao Yu, Hu Jia, and Wu Hao came down the stairs.
Xiao Yan looked at the three of them and said, "Why are you all here too?"
Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Yan and said, "We are now also Inner Academy elders, so of course we have to ensure the safety of the Inner Academy students. If we hadn't met Xiao Yu this time, who knows how many of us students would have fallen victim to the Magic Flame Valley!"
Xiao Yu's tone was filled with resentment; she wished she could destroy Magic Flame Valley immediately!
Xiao Yu chuckled, "Don't rush. The most important thing right now is the Black Emperor Sect's auction. I refined some Sixth Grade Pills this time, and Ya Fei said there are some good items at the auction. We can't let others have them!"
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "I also have some pills left over. Tomorrow is the start of the auction, right?"
Xiao Yu nodded slightly, and then Xiao Ding led Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran to rest.
This auction was jointly organized by the Mittel Family and the Black Emperor Sect. Although the Mittel contributed, they only accounted for a small portion of the proceeds; the Black Emperor Sect took the lion's share.
The next day.
Xiao Yu, Xiao Yi Xian, Ya Fei, Xiao Yan, and Nalan Yanran headed towards the Black Emperor Sect's auction venue.
This auction was held in the auction square in the city center because it was the grandest auction in the Black Corner Region in a hundred years, with far-reaching influence that extended throughout the entire Black Corner Region.
Leaders and elders from nearly a hundred factions, large and small, flocked into the Black Emperor City.
Many leaders of various forces emerged from the Black Emperor Pavilion. Xiao Yu's Underworld and the Mittel Family could have entered the Black Emperor Pavilion as well, but Xiao Ding felt it was unnecessary to rest under the surveillance of the Black Emperor Sect, so he stayed at this inn instead.
When Xiao Yu and his group arrived at the auction plaza, they still felt they had underestimated the allure of this auction for the powerful figures of the Black Corner Region.
The dense crowd kept moving about, making Xiao Yu and his companions' scalps tingle. Fortunately, members of the Mittel Family came to pick them up.
Following a special passage, Xiao Yu and his companions arrived directly at the plaza. Soon, a pretty but unusually sexy maid walked over.
"Distinguished guests, do you have VIP seating tokens?" the maid asked sweetly.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan both glanced at the maid, their expressions slightly strange. At that moment, several snorts came from behind, and Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan immediately trembled, quickly handing over a jade token.
Xiao Yu looked at Ya Fei and said, "Is this maid's attire also something your Mittel Family did?"
Ya Fei glared at Xiao Yu and said, "It was done by the Black Emperor Sect. The Mittel Family would never do such a thing!"
Xiao Yu chuckled dryly and agreed, "That's true, the Black Emperor Sect only knows some superficial things."
Seeing Xiao Yu's expression, Xiao Yi Xian chuckled and said, "If Cai Lin or Yun Yun saw this, they'd definitely give you a piece of their mind!"
Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "I'm not afraid of them at all!"
They chatted and laughed as they followed the maid toward the VIP seats.
Soon, they were seated in a small room in the VIP section, a place that was isolated from outside noise but offered a very wide view.
After sitting down, Xiao Yu looked around at the other VIP seats.
Xiao Yan, who was standing to the side, suddenly let out a soft exclamation and asked, "Are those people from Magic Flame Valley?"
Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Yu and his companions looked over and saw several figures sitting in the VIP section. Among them were two people, one with fiery red hair and the other whose entire body was covered by a black robe, making it impossible to discern their identities.
Ya Fei nodded slightly and said, "That's right, the one with fiery red hair is one of the elders of Magic Flame Valley, named Fang Yan. As for the man in black robes, I don't know his identity."
Xiao Yu chuckled, "Since you know they're from Magic Flame Valley, keep an eye out for them. I'm going to go against them!"
Fang Yan was sitting in the front, seemed to sense something and looked back, exchanging glances with Xiao Yu and the others.
He then whispered to the black-robed man beside him, "Those people seem a bit strange. They're all from the Underworld, and one of them is from the Mittel Family. Because of you, my Magic Flame Valley, and Jia Nan Academy, the Underworld has a grudge against us. You'll have to take responsibility!"
A murky, unpleasant voice suddenly came from beneath the black robe. "Don't worry, with the Dean of the Jia Nan Academy absent, Jia Nan Academy's strength won't be too great. As for the Underworld and the Mittel Family, my Soul Hall doesn't even consider them a threat. With the Elder taking action this time, you can rest assured!"
Xiao Yu probably hadn't expected that this man in black robes was actually from the Soul Hall.
Soon, a bell rang out across the square. After the bell rang, layers of golden light enveloped the entire square, a protective measure to prevent others from causing trouble.
As the light circle spread upwards from the ground, a metallic scraping sound came from the disc in the center of the square, and a staircase leading deep into the ground appeared before everyone's eyes.
Soon, a smiling old man in a golden robe slowly walked out. In an instant, a powerful aura erupted, drawing everyone's attention.
Looking at the old man in the golden robe, Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Tsk tsk, I still can't stand him. My Ya Fei is much prettier. But, I don't like you promoting items in front of so many people. From now on, you can have someone else as the auctioneer at Mittel!"
Hearing Xiao Yu's rather domineering tone, Ya Fei felt a sweet warmth in her heart, and then chuckled, "Don't worry, we're already training auctioneers. I won't be attending any auctions anymore!"
