Such a volume of auctioning, not to mention happening within the Qian Family’s Golden Pavilion, no one in the whole eastern region would dare to do this!
One can imagine the terrifying effect it would create once the news gets out.
Of course, it’s not a one-off massive disposal, but divided into batches.
After discussing the specific details with AnRan, the rest is left to him, the unseen boss of Anwu Family to handle. Jiang Xiaobai doesn’t feel like intervening.
This is also a significant matter. Rarely does AnRan handle things hands-on, Jiang Xiaobai feels abandoned for the moment.
Seems like, it may not even stop by the end of the day. With nothing better to do, he plans to take a good stroll around Wuyang City.
After leaving Anwu Family’s place, Jiang Xiaobai starts a slow stroll within Wuyang City, looking at shops and searching for delicacies as he goes.
After a while, he accumulates a load of food in his hands. Strolling and eating, even catching admiring glances at passing beauties from time to time, he’s quite at leisure.
Suddenly, he notices an incredibly unremarkable shop in the alleyway ahead. Just by looking at it, it felt incredibly familiar.
Thinking carefully, it suddenly dawns on him – wasn’t this the pawn shop look-alike where he previously bought an entry to Mad Demon Secret Land?
Driven by curiosity, he felt compelled to walk that way. The main door was open, upon entering, he saw a young man sleeping on a tall counter.
The posture exactly mirrored that of the white-haired youth then, although it was a different person.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai thought it was boring and was about to leave when the young man on the counter woke up. Rubbing his eyes languidly, he asked,
“What do you plan to trade here, kind sir? Or, are you here to purchase something?”
At his words, Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes narrowed. Could things still be traded and purchased here?
“I’m here for the first time. What do you mean by trade and purchase?”
“Never been here before?”
The young man suddenly narrows his eyes, his previously languid demeanor vanishes instantly, and a dangerous aura starts radiating in the shop.
The youth appears like an angered cat, extremely vigilant.
In response, Jiang Xiaobai is taken aback. Raising his eyebrows, he asks, “What does that mean?”
“How did you know about my pawnshop from outside? And how did you get here?”
“Brother, if you can’t explain it clearly today, I’m afraid it might be difficult for you to leave.”
After a sneer, before his words even settle, he suddenly appears in front of Jiang Xiaobai like a phantom. It’s only at this moment that Jiang Xiaobai realizes this person is actually at the peak of the Dividing the Gods stage.
Not just that, surrounding him are five men wearing black battle robes and masked with black armor, all possessing the same impressive strength – peak of the Dividing the Gods stage as well.
Such a level was nothing compared to the people Jiang Xiaobai had seen before. Their violent and bloodthirsty energies seemed to suggest they had crawled out of piles of dead bodies.
Absolutely off the charts in terms of fighting power!
Jiang Xiaobai becomes alert. He didn’t anticipate such an occurrence after following his whims to see what’s inside – it was quite testing.
However, at this moment, the murderous auras of the people in front of him vanish abruptly as they all respectfully turn their gaze behind Jiang Xiaobai.
Before Jiang Xiaobai could react, a languid, casual voice rings out beside him.
“You, young man, eventually found this place?”
Turning around, he sees a white-haired youth with a lazy demeanor.
Isn’t this White Crane?
“Never expected, eh? You are of such a prominent background, the ancient tribe is catching you at all cost, the Dragon Valley fought vehemently against the experts of the same tribe just for you and even nearly killed Gu Sheng.”
White Crane looks at Jiang Xiaobai with a smiling yet non-smiling expression: “Initially, I just thought you were a bit resourceful and mysterious, but I didn’t expect you to be this mysterious.”
“If I’d known before, I wouldn’t have handed you over to Xiao Yuwei so easily.”
Looking at White Crane, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly felt a sense of fear and unease. Upon closer inspection, this fellow’s power had actually reached the Fusion stage!
It wasn’t this stage last time!
How long has it been since?
“Don’t be surprised at my level, everyone has their secrets, like you also have secrets, right?”
White Crane lightly airily and then looks towards those people on the side: “Alright, all of you step back. This is my friend.”
“Yes, Master!”
The man in black armor immediately vanishes into the darkness, while the previously languid young man returns to lying on the counter to sleep, not giving Jiang Xiaobai a second glance.
In the face of this, Jiang Xiaobai is intensely curious, but before he could speak, White Crane starts leading him deeper inside.
After Jiang Xiaobai walks through a winding path to a rather pleasant looking small courtyard, he feels a bit flabbergasted.
This place didn’t seem to have such a large area from the outside!
“What brought you to my shop?”
Sitting on a stone bench, White Crane habitually starts pouring tea for himself: “Don’t tell me it’s just out of curiosity, I wouldn’t believe that.”
“But it’s true, it was just sheer curiosity.”
Jiang Xiaobai helplessly gives a bitter smile, sits opposite White Crane: “Who exactly are you? You look very strong, then why do you work for the Thousand Yuan Dynasty?”
“Just certain accidents and a promise, that’s all. Ten years to me, it’s nothing.”
White Crane places a cup of tea in front of Jiang Xiaobai: “Have some tea. Let’s consider it as a casual meeting between old friends, even if you want to ask other things, I won’t tell you.”
“Then it’s pointless to ask. I might as well leave right now.”
Jiang Xiaobai stands up to leave, but this action seems to surprise White Crane, leaving him laughing awkwardly.
“Jiang Xiaobai, you’re quite interesting.”
“You won’t tell me anything, so what’s the point of staying? I might as well go for a stroll.”
Jiang Xiaobai shrugs off, just as he was about to leave, suddenly he heard White Crane’s voice from behind.
“Last time, you helped me out. I owed you a favor. This time, running into you must be fate. So let me repay that favor.”
“I’ll tell you something about the ancient tribe that could be very helpful to you.”
White Crane said leisurely.
Jiang Xiaobai immediately stops and turns back to sit in front of White Crane.
“What information would be useful to me?”
“Two months later, there will be a grand competition within the ancient tribe. It’s not just an internal competition. They would also participate in a selection process which, upon hearing, I guess a character like yours would definitely go make some trouble.”
White Crane says with a grin.
“Joke. Do I look like a fool to you? Go into the ancient tribe to stir things up? I don’t have that ability at present.”
“But you must go.”
“Why should I?”
“Because this selection process is of utmost importance to the ancient tribe. If any of their members succeed, the power backing them up would be far greater than that of Hai Xianzong.”
“Ever heard of the Holy City?”
