Chapter 619 - The Duke of Qin

Chapter 619 – The Duke of Qin

An Zheng released his Heaven’s Eyes and floated beside Zhuge Dangdang. After floating for about a minute, An Zheng was even more certain of his conjecture that this fellow was actually an imposter. Aowerhouse at the peak of the Higher Completion Stage, he was probably just a step away from the Lower Celestial Stage, there was no way he would have no reaction to the Heaven’s Eyes at all.

What made An Zheng decide was that he had thought of Zhong Jiuge.

A member of the Thousand School. Furthermore, this person from the Thousand School was able to live for so long … It was obviously better than Zhong Jiuge’s ability. Furthermore, he was actually not afraid of showing off, and actually went to hack off the skin of the Dragon Lion … Therefore, what An Zheng was certain of was that this person’s strength was also in the Higher Completion Stage, it was just that he was not at the peak yet.

This kind of person was definitely a top-notch figure within the thousand sects, and could not be compared with Zhong Jiuge.

Although most of the people from the Thousand Sect chose this path because their talent in cultivation was too poor, there was no denying that there could be true experts in every profession of every sect. This guy must have known that Zhuge Dangdang was ambushed by the imperial government, which was why he pretended to be Zhuge Dangdang.

But what was he plotting?

An Zheng became interested in this person. While paying attention to the auction of the Dragon Lion skin on the stage, he also became an enthusiast for Zhuge Dangdang. Afterwards, he took some time out of his spare to tour the entire Ning Family Auction House for a week. Then, An Zheng frowned slightly, as if the people in the Ning Family Auction House today did not come with good intentions.

Of course, An Zheng knew that many people would keep an eye on the business of the auction house. For a family as powerful as the Ning Family, an average person would not dare to have ideas about the auction house. In addition, the Ning Family would normally also provide protection for those who bid on the auction. However, it was only within the auction house. They would not care about it after they left the auction house. Therefore, there would be many criminals keeping an eye on the outside of the auction. Once the buyer left the auction house, it would no longer be safe.

The price of the Dragon Lion’s skin was rising rapidly, after all, it was something that could truly be used to protect one’s life. Especially those from large clans, the higher their status, the more they cherish their lives. Unless the Purple-Rank attack type magical equipment was unbreakable, this kind of attribute was already extremely heaven-defying.

An Zheng sat there and laughed. This trip was truly worth it. Right now, the price of that piece of Dragon Lion skin had already exceeded two hundred. This price was not something that a super large clan could accept. Of course, those middle-sized and small families could take it out, but it would be very painful, and of course, they knew that they couldn’t compete with those big families.

Right now, the one fighting the most fiercely was the Chen family that had one of the rooms next to An Zheng’s, but who exactly was it that the Chen family was still unknown. The other clan was the Su Clan from the Great Ning Province, which had just sent a servant to invite An Zheng.

“Two hundred and ten!”

“Two hundred and eleven!”

“Two hundred and fifteen!”

“Two hundred and sixteen!”

An Zheng realized that the people from the Chen family had learnt their ways. No matter how much the other party bid, they would only bid one more time than them. On the other hand, the opponent obviously wanted to suppress his opponent in terms of momentum, but he didn’t have any chance.

Da Da Ye muttered to himself. “You were quite generous just now and directly gave me a few hundred Golden-Rank Spirit Stone.”

An Zheng laughed: “It’s all because of you, the current patriarch of the Zhou family, Zhou Bucheng is the Great Western Holy See’s Minister of Rites, he is truly one of the people in power. I gave the Zhou Family a piece of Dragon Lion’s skin that’s worth hundreds of pieces of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone. With such great face, how could the Zhou Family not know of this? After you arrive at the capital, I’ll hire some fake followers for you, making it inconvenient for me to show my face. At that time, with the Zhou family’s help, you’ll have a good chance of leaving safely. Even if you can’t leave safely, the Zhou Family can still guarantee your safety in Jinling. “Although these big families are not trustworthy, they won’t go against the morals when it’rofitable situation.”

Da Da Ye said, “Oh. Then next door.”

An Zheng said: “The other one is from the Chen family. Although I do not know which Chen family it is, but it is obvious that the Zhou family knows about it. When the steward of the Zhou family saw that woman, he immediately withdrew. He definitely knew how powerful he was. So my guess is that it should be the Chen family of the royal family, but I don’t know which branch they are. It will be more beneficial for you to have someone from the royal family to help you. ”

Da Da Ye’s eyes were filled with stars. “In other words, you gave out items that were worth hundreds of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone s just for me?”

An Zheng: “Otherwise?”

Dada Ye: “You care about me!”

An Zheng: “...”

Dada Ye laughed, “Even if you don’t dare to answer, I know that you care about me.”

An Zheng replied: “I’m your master, of course I care about you.”

Da Da Ye said, “Don’t lie to me and don’t lie to yourself. That teacher and disciple status is fake!”

An Zheng no longer spoke, but his face was filled with excitement.

The two rooms were already in a heated argument. If this continued, the price would be unbearably high. Not long after, he saw the Su Clan attendant walk towards another room with a cold expression. In the end, someone threw him out a few seconds later. In that instant, even his cultivation was crippled.

This time, it was going to be very lively. A few people came out of the curtain and walked towards the room with big steps. A few people stood outside the door, and the person in the lead said coldly, “My Su Clan’s people have come over with good intentions to advise you. You actually injured someone, and you still have to give my Su Clan an explanation for this matter.”

In the end, no one came out of the room. A pair of white and beautiful arms stretched out from inside, holding a golden sign and waving it around.

Those people of the Su Clan were very disdainful in the beginning, but when they saw the words on the plate, they immediately became terrified. The man in the lead knelt down and kowtowed with all his might, “Your Highness, it is this official who has eyes but is unable to recognize Mount Tai, this infuriated Your Highness. Your subject is guilty, your subject is guilty!”

A woman in the room said in a low voice, “Scram.”

The Su Clan people scrambled to leave. They quickly left the Ning Clan Auction House without even daring to look back.

Your Highness?

An Zheng smiled, now things became interesting.

Not long after, the curtains of the room that An Zheng was in were opened by someone, and then, an elegant and graceful young master wearing embroidered clothes walked in while smiling. The person who lifted the curtain for him was the absolutely beautiful woman who had just arrived, and she was cold and proud like a blooming white lotus at the peak of a snowy mountain.

When An Zheng saw the man, his face slightly changed … This person was actually Daxi Shenghuang’s youngest son, the Chen Zhongxu who was conferred the title of Duke of Qin. Chen Zhongxu’s fief was in Longxi; one could not leave the fief without the orders of the Sacred Emperor. He was different from Chen Zhongqi, he was not born of the Divine Empress. But one thing was certain, that out of all of Chen Wunuo’s sons, this was the one who would not be guarded against the most.

This person had no struggles at all and loved to collect things the most. The land of Longxi was rich, and his territory was vast, so naturally, he would not lack in wealth. Moreover, every year, Chen Wunuo would give something to his sons that was extremely generous. Although he was not born of the Divine Empress, Chen Wunuo had never written about these things.

Furthermore, this Chen Zhongxu had never had such big thoughts because he knew that it was impossible for him to obtain the position of Holy Emperor. He only loved three things, beauties, BMWs, and treasures.

“Your Highness!”

An Zheng immediately bent down. After all, he was pretending to be Da Xi’s cultivator.

Chen Zhongxu slightly smiled, sat opposite of An Zheng and said: “Then it will be boring, not fun anymore. This little Taoist, I see you look unfamiliar, but I don’t know where you came from or where you’re going. ”

Da Da Ye thought of An Zheng’s orders to her, so he sat up straight with his chest puffed out, and said with a serious expression: “Never come, go where!”

Chen Zhongxu was slightly startled, then laughed out loud. “Girl, you’re really cute.”

Dada Ye: “How do you know I’m a girl!”

Chen Zhongxu said: “About that...”

An Zheng shook his head and said, “This disciple of mine doesn’t really understand etiquette, don’t blame me, Your Highness. The two of us from Dian Cang Mountain are not considered big sects, but we are also orthodox sects. I am Ye Yurou, this is my disciple, Ye Xiaoxin. ”

Chen Zhongxu said: “Dian Cang, I have heard of this name, but it is indeed a name that has been unknown for a very long time. I didn’t expect you to be so young, and already be the master of a sect. ”

An Zheng said: “Master left early...”

Chen Zhongxu laughed: “You two are both interesting people, I like to befriend interesting people like you. If I don’t disturb you, can you stay for a cup of tea? ”

An Zheng said: “That is our honor.”

Chen Zhongxu asked: Where are you heading to?

An Zheng said, “To the Great Western Jinling... This disciple of mine was mischievous in nature. Dian Cang couldn’t trap her, so she argued about going to the Jinling foilgrimage. I didn’t go there either, so I went out with her. In any case, the Dian Cang Sect only has us as master and disciple, so we don’t have much to worry about. Furthermore, after killing the Dragon Lion on the way, we found out about an important matter, so we need to make a trip to the Jinling. ”

Chen Zhongxu said: “That is true, Taoist Priest’s cultivation is profound, I just do not know, where did you kill the Dragon Lion?”

An Zheng answered truthfully, but there was no need to hide anything. He even talked about the inner world a little. After all, that was a big matter and it was better to be on the lookout for Da Xi.

Sure enough, Chen Zhongxu’s face became serious: This matter is indeed worrisome, I just happened to be ordered by my royal father to return to Jinling, we can travel together. Once we reach the Jinling, I will bring you to see royal father. ”

An Zheng was wearing a mask, of course he wasn’t afraid of anything. Therefore, he nodded and said, “In that case, thank you very much, Your Highness.”

Chen Zhongxu said: “The price of the Dragon Lion’s skin outside is already excessively high, but since my identity has already been revealed, I reckon that no one will be fighting with me. This is really not fun anymore. If it wasn’t for the members of the Su Clan being a little too excessive earlier, I estimate that the price could have been raised a little more. “How about this, the current bid is two hundred and forty Golden-Rank Spirit Stone, I’ll give you another ten …”

An Zheng said. “It’s fine if I don’t add it, I added a few …”

Chen Zhongxu thought for a bit, then laughed out loud: “It is indeed a bit inappropriate, two hundred and fifty yuan, hahahaha... How about this, let me apologize to you, and I’ll give you twenty more Golden-Rank Spirit Stone s for two hundred and sixty yuan. ”

He turned his head and instructed, “Go and inform the Ning Clan members that their auction house will not be able to win.”

The woman turned around and left. Not long after, she returned. The manager of the auction house, Ning Qu, was already waiting outside. Upon entering, Ning Qu immediately fell to his knees, “Greetings, Your Highness.”

Using his identity as a Dao Sect disciple, An Zheng did not need to kneel and pay respects to the imperial family.

But the Ning Family was different. The Ning Family was an official.

Chen Zhongxu said: “Alright, don’t be so restrained, I will buy it, and the price will be truthful. In addition, I won’t let your Ning Family suffer any losses. If I don’t let you take out every single one of them, it won’t be easy for you to win every single one of them. As for the portion that was drawn, I’ll take care of it for you guys. ”

Ning Qu didn’t dare to take it, he hurriedly shook his head. “No need, no need, how could I dare to accept His Highness’ things. This gift is also mine, I’ll give it to him.”

Chen Zhongxu nodded: “Since that’s the case, I won’t force you. “Why don’t you stay here for tonight? I have decided to go by fate with you, Taoist Priest, so that we can continue our conversation. You two should prepare some food and wine.”

Ning Qu answered and went out to prepare. An Zheng noticed that Chen Zhongxu’s eyes were darting towards the dada Ye from time to time, and couldn’t help but be a little worried in his heart.
