Chapter 29: Auction House - Battle Through the Heavens: The Flame Emperor Is My Grandson

Auction House

"Alright. I'll represent the Xiao Household at this large-scale auction hosted by the Mittel Family."

After reading the invitation Xiao Dongcheng had handed him, along with the list of auction items included within, Xiao Lin's eyes flashed with a sharp gleam.

This treatment of receiving both an invitation and an attached list of auction items was something the Xiao Household had not been qualified to enjoy before.

This was undoubtedly one of the benefits Xiao Lin had brought to the Xiao Household after becoming a Battle King.

In the past, whenever the Mittel Family held a large auction, the Xiao Household could only spend money on tickets at the last minute to enter.

And they could only remain in the auction hall.

But this time, the invitation the Mittel Family had sent to the Xiao Household even came with a VIP card!

A better reading experience every day, absolutely fantastic

In other words, when Xiao Lin brought members of the Xiao Household to the auction, they would have a private box belonging exclusively to the Xiao Household. This way, they would no longer have to squeeze into the auction hall with everyone else like before.

Compared to before Xiao Lin had broken through to Battle King, this treatment was like heaven and earth!

Especially the ability to view the auction item list in advance. It provided the Xiao Household with tremendous convenience.

Xiao Lin had merely glanced through the list just now, yet he had already discovered quite a few things that interested him.

This was also the main reason he was willing to represent the Xiao Household at this large auction hosted by the Mittel Family.

The number of factions in the entire Gama Empire that could receive treatment like the Xiao Household's was likely countable on one hand.

At most, only the Gama Imperial Family, the Misty Cloud Sect, the Nalan Household, and the Mu Household possessed such qualifications.

As for the other factions without even a Battle King, their treatment was probably the same as the Xiao Household's in the past.

They had to rely entirely on themselves. Before the auction began, they did not even know what would be auctioned and could only gamble!

In comparison, being able to learn the auction item list in advance was undoubtedly far more comfortable.

After all, that way, if you had your eye on something, you could prepare enough funds beforehand.

For instance, Xiao Lin had already decided to buy quite a few items from the list for this large auction held by the Mittel Family.

Not for himself, but to lay the foundation for his son, Xiao Zhan.

In addition, some of the items would be useful to other members of the Xiao Household as well.

As for something Xiao Lin himself was interested in, there really was one such item.

"Good. Since you're willing to go, Xiao Lin, just buy whatever catches your eye when the time comes. You may choose how to allocate the resources possessed by our Xiao Household!"

After Xiao Lin agreed to attend the large auction hosted by the Mittel Family, Xiao Dongcheng, as clan head, immediately waved his hand and delegated the authority.

In other words, whatever Xiao Lin wanted to buy, he did not need the approval of anyone else in the household. He could decide for himself.

It could be said that although Xiao Lin was not yet the Xiao Household's clan head, if he wished, his authority could even surpass Xiao Dongcheng's!

After all, the Xiao Household's current status in the Gama Empire had all come about because Xiao Lin had become a Battle King.

Therefore, no one in the Xiao Household would be foolish enough to stand out and oppose his decisions.

"Then thank you, Clan Head."

As Xiao Lin's words fell, the matter was settled.

Three days later, the large auction hosted by the Mittel Family began.

On that day, countless factions from every side poured into the imperial capital of the Gama Empire.

Some of these factions were rulers of other cities, while others were sect masters and elders from minor sects. Even some mercenaries had arrived in the Gama Empire's imperial capital.

But without exception, those qualified to enter the large auction held by the Mittel Family were either led by elders from their households or possessed at least the cultivation of a Great Dou Master themselves.

Furthermore, while Xiao Lin led several Xiao Household members toward the Mittel Auction House, he even spotted several independent cultivators with Battle King cultivation!

It was clear that factions from all sides were highly anticipating this large auction hosted by the Mittel Family!

Xiao Lin had not brought many people with him, only four members of the household.

Aside from one elder from the older generation, the remaining three were all from the younger generation.

If nothing unexpected happened, Xiao Lin's generation would likely have to rely on these three to uphold it.

In the future, once Xiao Lin became clan head, there was a high chance that the three of them would become elders.

All three currently possessed Intermediate Great Dou Master cultivation.

If they worked hard in the future, it was not impossible for them to become Battle Spirits.

"Young Clan Head, there are so many people in the imperial capital today!"

At this moment, one of the household members could not help exclaiming.

"Xiao Ze, compose yourself. You're embarrassing us!"

Seeing his cousin acting as though he had never seen the world, another Xiao Household member could not help covering his forehead.

"You're criticizing Xiao Ze, but aren't you the same, Xiao Zhen?"

The third household member spoke up as well.

"Enough. Xiao Ze, Xiao Zhen, Xiao Yi—we're about to reach the Mittel Family's auction house. Your behavior right now will only bring shame upon the household!"

As an elder of the Xiao Household, his words carried considerable authority.

As the Xiao Household elder's words fell, the three of them promptly closed their mouths and said nothing further.

Xiao Lin, meanwhile, showed no reaction from beginning to end.

With his current status, there was no need for him to react.

Although he was of the same generation as Xiao Ze, Xiao Zhen, and Xiao Yi, there was still a difference in status between them.

It was no exaggeration to say that because of Xiao Lin's existence, he had directly suppressed all members of his generation until they could barely breathe.

Thus, his position as young clan head had never faced the slightest challenge!

After all, when the difference between people was small, others might become jealous and harbor their own thoughts.

But when that gap became too vast to bridge, all they could do was look up in awe.

That was precisely Xiao Lin's status among the Xiao Household's younger generation.

Before long, the group arrived at the entrance to the Mittel Auction House.

Naturally, the Xiao Household group's arrival drew the attention of quite a few people nearby.

After all, the Xiao Household was now one of the imperial capital's rising powers. Whenever someone from the household went out, they would always attract looks of envy or jealousy.

Not to mention that Xiao Lin, the man who had brought the Xiao Household to its current heights, had appeared in person!

However, Xiao Lin remained calm and composed under those gazes, without revealing the slightest emotion.

Unlike Xiao Lin's calmness, the other four members of the Xiao Household, including the elder, all appeared somewhat restrained.

This was evident from their tense expressions.

"Relax a little. It's not like we're heading to a battlefield."

Seeing the way the four household members were acting, Xiao Lin felt rather speechless.

So he could only remind them quietly.

After hearing Xiao Lin's words, the other four household members relaxed somewhat, though their nerves remained a little tense.

Xiao Lin could only shake his head helplessly at that.

It was probably their first time, so Xiao Lin could not really say much.

Before long, Xiao Lin arrived at the reception area outside the Mittel Auction House and handed over his invitation.

The receptionist arranged by the Mittel Family had actually noticed Xiao Lin's group long ago.

Now that Xiao Lin had presented the VIP invitation sent out by their family, the receptionist naturally wore a deeply respectful expression.

"Honored guests of the Xiao Household, please follow me. Our Mittel Family has prepared a VIP box for you."
