I Gave You Face, and You Refused It, Huh?

Despite Ding Yishan's blatant threat, Lu Qing'an remained unmoved. "Go ahead and threaten me," he thought, "You'd better be bold and fight me. See if I can handle you then."

He never intended to cause trouble; he simply saw what he wanted—gifts he could bring back for his children's friends—and wanted to get them all.

This last treasure was neither a gift he had his eye on that he could give away, nor was it a treasure of great significance to the continent.

This treasure seems to have some use for his later exploration of the Fallen God Sea and search for the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone vein.

The host described the treasure as emitting a faint light when it gets close to the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone. He had just seen it demonstrated, and the brightness of the treasure's light varied slightly depending on the number of Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone nearby. It's hard to say whether the treasure would emit a strong light when it was a certain distance away from the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mine.

This made it easier for him to find the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone vein in the vast Fallen God Sea.

Compared to whether or not he had offended a native of the Seven Heavens Continent at the Peak Sovereign Realm, he felt that acquiring this treasure was more important.

As soon as Lu Qing'an finished speaking, the entire auction hall fell into dead silence once again.

Many people present once again turned their attention to Lu Qing'an, their eyes filled with extremely complex emotions as they looked at Lu Qing'an.

Many people didn't feel much emotion; they were just numb. They realized that the auction had turned into a private banquet for Lu Qing'an, with all the auction items seemingly being gifts from the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce to Lu Qing'an!

Lu Qing'an didn't even let the last item go.

Just who is this person?!

When the host saw that Lu Qing'an wanted to buy this item again, he personally delivered it to Lu Qing'an.

Please keep this safe.

This was the first time in his life he had presided over an auction that ended so quickly!

I've learned a lot.

Lu Qing'an smiled and nodded, took the treasure, casually put it into his storage treasure, stood up, and prepared to leave.

He carefully calculated that after taking this item, he had only taken fifty items from the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce in total. He would go directly to Qian Jiahe later and have Qian Jiahe show him around the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce's treasure trove.

Let's see if we can find anything nice to take back as gifts!

"Stop!" Just as Lu Qing'an stood up, a deep voice echoed in the vast auction hall.

Everyone in the room turned their attention to Ding Yishan, whose expression was constantly shifting between anger and uncertainty.

Ding Yishan gritted his teeth, his chest heaving slightly, clearly on the verge of exploding in rage.

Lu Qing'an remained calm as he looked at Ding Yishan, and casually asked, "Is there something you need?"

Ding Yishan was unsure of Lu Qing'an's identity. Reason told him that it was best not to provoke this guy, but he had made so many preparations for the last treasure, and now he had not only returned empty-handed, but had also been so severely humiliated. If he didn't do something, he might even develop a mental demon in the future!

"My name is Ding Yishan, one of the top experts on the Heavenly Fall Continent, and I'm sworn brothers with Xu Heng, the head of the Xu Household family! Even the Heavenly Dao of this continent has a very good relationship with me! Sell me that last item, and I'll give you double the starting bid! What do you say?"

After listening to Ding Yishan's self-introduction, Lu Qing'an's expression clearly changed, and he showed a slight surprise.

Ding Yishan had been watching Lu Qing'an's facial expressions closely, not wanting to miss any subtle changes. Now that he had revealed his name and background, Lu Qing'an was clearly surprised, and a thought struck him.

This guy doesn't seem to be anything special!

There's hope!!

Lu Qing'an's surprise wasn't about Ding Yishan's powerful background or identity, but rather that Ding Yishan was actually the Peak Sovereign Realm behind the Xu Household!

What a coincidence!

That's true. The Heavenly Fall Continent isn't very large to begin with, and there are only a handful of people at the Peak Sovereign Realm, so the probability of encountering one is quite high.

That's when things get interesting.

Because of his ex-wife, he didn't want to get too involved in the Xu Household's affairs, but that didn't mean he let the Xu Household go. Especially after searching Xu Yi's memories and experiencing Xu Yi's attempt to take his child away, he felt that the Xu Household really didn't need to exist anymore.

The man in front of him, Ding Yishan, is the Xu Household's backer. If this guy really wants to do something to him, he won't be polite.

"I don't think so." Faced with Ding Yishan's question, Lu Qing'an smiled calmly and replied.

Seeing the atmosphere instantly turn sour, and Lu Qing'an showing no respect for Ding Yishan, the group started gossiping.

The recent prominence of the Xu Household in the Heavenly Fall Continent is evident to all. The Heavenly Dao of the Continent even went directly to the Xu Household Xu Household express its support. They could hardly guess what kind of foundation Xu Heng, the head of the Xu Household family, possessed.

Ding Yishan, who currently enjoys an excellent relationship with the Xu Household, has encountered this situation here. Could this be considered a clash between powerful adversaries?

Will they start fighting again later?

It'll be quite a show if they start fighting!

A group of people seemed to be enjoying the drama immensely.

If Xu Xuanyu and Xiao Qingyi were here, they would have already found an open space to sit down and eat melon seeds.

Ding Yishan had initially thought that Lu Qing'an was somewhat wary of his background, but now, seeing Lu Qing'an's playful expression and unrestrained reply, his anger intensified.

Damn it!

I'm giving you face, but you don't want it?!

"Fellow Daoist Ding, please do not cause trouble in our Chamber of Commerce!" Just as the atmosphere between the two sides was getting tense, the host quickly stood up.

To the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce association, what was Ding Yishan?

A direct threat is the right thing to do!

Compared to Ding Yishan, Lu Qing'an was clearly the more distinguished guest of their Qian Household Chamber of Commerce!

Ding Yishan looked at the host, who Early Sovereign Realm, and frowned.

It seems the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce values this guy even more!

Since businessmen are profit-driven, it seems this guy is really rich!

Damn it!

"Hmph!" Ding Yishan snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, and left the auction house.

However, don't think that's the end of it!

You can't cause trouble at the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce, right?

That's fine outside!!

The host breathed a sigh of relief after Ding Yishan left and smiled at Lu Qing'an, "Is there anything else you need?"

Lu Qing'an said calmly, "It's nothing, you go ahead and do your work, I'll go find your president."

Having said that, he strolled away leisurely to look for Qian Jiahe.

Before long, he found Qian Jiahe in the president's residence. Qian Jiahe seemed to have just finished his business. Upon seeing Lu Qing'an, he quickly put away the communication device and approached with a smile.

How did you fare at the auction?

Lu Qing'an said, "We've collected fifty items. There are fifty left. Take me to your treasure vault."

Qian Jiahe's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "Okay! Please come with me!"

Fifty pieces?

That's practically buying up everything in the auction!

Very good!
