Chapter 30: Auction

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Warrior Academy was actually similar to a regular school, but it only teaches the method of cultivation. The entry requirements were unusually harsh. Not just anyone could enter.

First of all, the academy would verify the qualifications of the applicants, and the registration fee was not something that an ordinary family could afford. A family like the Lin family could only support one person to study.

Although Ye Xuan did not have much contact with Lin Tianxiong, it could be seen that he was an ambitious person. It was customary for him to send his grandson to a warrior academy.

If Lin Ruoshi’s cousin could achieve something and become a real warrior, it would mean a lot to the Lin family.

Lin Ruoshi widened her eyes and stared at Ye Xuan. She was really shocked by Ye Xuan’s words. It takes countless financial resources to train a warrior, but Ye Xuan made it sound so easy.

“Ye Xuan, is what you said true? Can I really become a warrior?” Lin Ruoshi asked excitedly, her hands grabbing Ye Xuan’s arms.

“As long as you are willing, you can indeed become a powerful warrior. To tell you the truth, I am also a warrior myself.” Ye Xuan nodded thoughtfully.

Lin Ruoshi was highly excited. “I am willing, Ye Xuan. I am willing to become a warrior. No matter how much pain I have to endure, I am willing.”

However, when she said this, Lin Ruoshi’s eyes suddenly dimmed.

Ye Xuan asked doubtfully, “What’s wrong?”

“I’m pregnant Now. Will becoming a warrior affect the fetus? I can’t be so selfish. I don’t wish to hurt my child for the sake of my own desires.” Lin Ruoshi said in a low voice.

“Don’t worry. Practicing martial arts to strengthen the body will only benefit the fetus. There’s no harm at all. Also, I’ll get you a pill to protect the fetus, just in case.” Ye Xuan said softly.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s promise, Lin Ruoshi smiled again. She grabbed Ye Xuan’s hand tightly.

“Now, let me show you the magical methods of a warrior.” Ye Xuan said with a smile. 

Then, he quickly pinched his face a few times and gently brushed it. When he looked at Lin Ruoshi again, she was immediately stunned. Ye Xuan’s face was entirely different! 

“How… How is this done? Is it magic?”

“This is just a small trick of a warrior. It’s called the disguise technique. It’s very simple. When you become a warrior, I’ll teach you.” Ye Xuan said with a smile.

Wu Hongniang, who was driving in front, heard this and immediately pursed her lips. She looked at Lin Ruoshi in the rearview mirror with some envy. This disguise technique was the Hidden God Sect’s secret technique. She herself had not been given a chance to learn it. How could Ye Xuan call it a small trick?

The three soon arrived at the venue of the auction.

Wu Hongniang led the two to the top floor. It was very dark here, and all electronic equipment was blocked. To prevent information about the auction and the guests from being leaked, strict precautions were taken.

The three found their seats and sat down. They had arrived relatively early, and many people eventually found their seats one after another.

As Ye Xuan was looking around, Wu Hongniang’s voice rang out. “Master, do you see that man dressed luxuriously?”

“What’s so special about him?” Ye Xuan asked, puzzled.

“His name is Han Longshi, and he’s from the Han family in Suzhou City. According to my secret investigation, the Han family has many warriors, and he can be considered to be quite powerful here.” Wu Hongniang introduced softly.

Ye Xuan nodded. Hearing this, he could not help but take another look at Han Longshi. Soon, he lost interest and looked away.

At this moment, the bronze bell on the stage rang, and the auction began.

A woman in her thirties walked up to the auction stage. She was graceful and elegant. Holding a microphone in her hand, she said with a smile, “Welcome, everyone. Without further ado, let’s begin the auction of the first item.”

As she said that, she lifted the black cloth on the stage.

“This is a famous painting by the Yuan Dynasty painter Qi Erdan. Those who have studied it would know that this painting is extraordinary. The starting price is four million yuan.”

The elegant woman did not give a detailed introduction. She directly announced the starting price and did not say anything else. She waited for the guests to bid on their own. The auctioneer was obviously unqualified, but it did not affect the guests’ bids.

The first item was successfully sold for eight million yuan.

As time passed, all the items on the platform were auctioned off. The speed of the auction was breakneck.

However, many people did not bid for the entire night because they were waiting for the Rejuvenation Pill, which was the final item of the auction.

Such pills from the martial arts world were rare in this secular world. They did not want to miss it.

“Now, let’s begin the auction of the final item. Rejuvenation Pill from the world of fighters. The starting price is 10 million.”

As the female auctioneer’s voice fell, some people could not wait to begin their bid.

“15 million.”

“20 million.”

“25 million.”

The bidding voice was extremely fierce. There was no sign of silence at all. No one wanted to give up this rare pill.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, “Thirty million.”

Ye Xuan followed the voice and saw that the bidder was his father, Ye Zhenxiang. He immediately understood the situation. Although the Ye family was also born into a wealthy family, his father was not favored. In a fit of anger, Ye Zhenxiang took his wife and children far away from home and came to Suzhou City to live. However, the Ye family could not be said to be wealthy currently.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded again. “Brother, I will have the pill today. You’d better not bid any further.”

This person was Ye Xuan’s uncle, Ye Zhenwen.

Ye Zhenxiang looked at his younger brother from afar. “Brother, this auction is all about fairness and justice. The highest bidder will get it. If you want it, you can only bid higher than me.”

Ye Zhenwen’s face darkened slightly, and he said fiercely, “Hmph, as you wish then!”

After saying that, he raised his right hand and shouted loudly, “60 million.”

Ye Zhenxiang did not show any signs of weakness and said, “70 million.”

When the guests saw the fierce competition between them, they were so scared that they did not dare to speak. Although the Rejuvenation Pill was rare and precious, it had already far exceeded its original value.

Most importantly, they recognized the identity of the two. These two were the Young Masters of the Ye family in the provincial capital. They must not be offended. After all, the Ye family was one of the top families in Suzhou City.

Ye Zhenwen’s face was ashen. He gritted his teeth and shouted, “I bid 80 million.”

Faced with such a high price, Ye Zhenxiang was under tremendous pressure. This price was almost beyond what he could bear.. Still, he shouted with all his might, “85 million!”
