Gu Leng’s appearance soon settled the commotion.
None of the members of the ancient clan dared to say a word, much less anyone else.
Everyone looked at Jiang Xiaobai and Gu Ning with apprehension and the news spread rapidly throughout the ancient clan’s auction house, then throughout the whole Qing Luan City.
At the same time, due to Gu Ning’s status and power, Gu Leng was even more certain that Jiang Xiaobai was of significant origin but didn’t dare inquire. He could only hope to get closer to Jiang Xiaobai at lunch.
Just as Gu Leng and Jiang Xiaobai were casually chatting, an auction house attendant rushed over.
“It’s bad, young master. The treasure map that was supposed to be the finale today might not be able to be delivered,” he pronounced.
Upon hearing these words, Gu Leng’s face instantly turned sour.
He slapped the servant in anger, “You have got to be kidding me, it can’t be delivered?”
“Yes… Young master, we’ve already sent elites to escort and assist, but this is such an unexpected situation!”
“Unexpected?”
Gu Leng clenched his teeth in anger, wishing he could slap that attendant to death.
To become the person in charge of this auction, Gu Leng endured countless humiliations within his clan and put in a lot of effort.
If the auction could be successful and achieve the expected results, his status within the ancient clan would greatly improve.
An unexpected situation occurred that absolutely could not happen, could Gu Leng remain calm?
However, considering that Jiang Xiaobai, a big shot, was still standing in front of him, Gu Leng knew he couldn’t lose his composure. He glared at the servant with a livid face and shooed him away with a wave of his hand.
Immediately, Gu Leng looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a full face of apology.
“Void Prince, I’m truly sorry. An unexpected situation arose with an important auction item on its way here… I fear it may be delayed by three days,” he sighed.
Jiang Xiaobai was curious about what kind of unexpected situation could happen.
Despite this, his expression was right on point: “No worries, it’s been a long time since I’ve gone out. It’s quite nice to stay a bit longer in Qing Luan City, take in the sights and enjoy the atmosphere.”
“Void Prince truly is a generous person!”
Gu Leng bowed in greeting, “That’s great. Rest assured, sir, we will set up a large feast at noon to welcome and entertain you!”
“Alright, alright, you can go take care of your business. I won’t keep you any longer.”
Soon, Gu Leng left. The crowd around, upon hearing the news, began to discuss eagerly.
Jiang Xiaobai just glanced at the crowd and didn’t care, continuing to wander around the shops around the auction house. However, he didn’t find any treasures or elixirs of interest.
Only when he passed a small shop did he feel something, looking at the things on the stall.
They were all small treasures, the highest grade did not exceed top-grade treasures, and the effects were very random. Compared to the surrounding shops, such a small stall didn’t seem quite as formal.
But Jiang Xiaobai was attracted by a small piece of jade, which looked like a spirit stone. However, with his alchemy skills, he saw at a glance that this was not a piece of jade, but a valuable spirit medicine.
It looked like a piece of jade, but in reality, its effects were incredibly potent!
The most significant effect was that this thing could perfectly stimulate and fuse the power of bloodlines!
Upon seeing this treasure, Jiang Xiaobai quickly had in mind what this rare spirit medicine would be used for.
“I’ll take this thing.” Jiang Xiaobai directly picked up the jade-shaped thing from the stall.
The owner was overjoyed.
This item had been sitting on his stall for three to four months. Many people had come to look at it, but after examining it from all sides and finding no notable uses besides the unique spirituality, no one wanted to buy it.
Now that a big spender had come along, the dealer didn’t care about the price; he just wanted to sell as quickly as possible and make some money!
“This customer has a good eye, this object is the extremely precious Guanyin Jade, it’s priceless, I…”
Listening to the dealer’s sales pitch, Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand impatiently, “Go away, there’s no need for you to say anything more. I’ve always bought things without any concerns about the price. Anyway, there’s nothing I can’t afford.”
After picking up the jade and leaving, an elite from the ancient clan’s auction house came forward to pay.
Such treatment left the dealer stunned. He couldn’t help but guess at Jiang Xiaobai’s identity. The more he thought, the more fearful and anxious he became.
How could he not know whether the piece of jade was good or not?
It was simply something he found by chance in a forest, surrounded by many similar pieces of jade. He just picked up the most attractive one and brought it here to deceive people.
If he fooled ordinary people, it would be alright, but now this young man with “Void” written on his chest is a troublemaker!
What if he gets angry and wants to settle the score? Wouldn’t that be disastrous?
Thinking about this, the shopkeeper felt dry-mouthed and extremely anxious.
He wanted to find Jiang Xiaobai as soon as possible to explain, but unfortunately, in his moment of shock, Jiang Xiaobai had disappeared into the crowd.
For the subsequent time, Jiang Xiaobai roamed around the auction house, letting everyone see how second-generation wealthy people with boldness buy things.
It was truly like a fool, buying any good thing he saw without asking for the price or bargaining.
If a shopkeeper dared to ask for a price, Jiang Xiaobai would quite righteously shout— I have money, you guys don’t have to worry!
Although such methods left Su Lan, Qiu Zixuan, and others a bit speechless, yet also envious and jealous, it ultimately deepened the impression of him being a person of significant origin.
At this point, Su Lan and others were fully convinced of Jiang Xiaobai. Even if Jiang Xiaobai now claimed to be the biological son of some powerful sect leader, they would believe it!
Soon, it was noon and Gu Leng came over again.
“Void Prince, it’s getting late. I’ve already booked a table at Qingfeng Loft. We’re just waiting for you.”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded: “Hmm, I’m a bit tired from wandering around. It doesn’t look like there’s anything good here, so let’s go to the restaurant to taste your local delicacies.”
“Haha, don’t worry, Void Prince. I’ve ordered some unique dishes from Qing Luan City for you.”
Accompanied by Gu Leng’s hearty laughter, they left the ancient clan’s auction house, leisurely heading towards Qingfeng Loft.
