Chapter 390: 390: An Enemy of the Ancient Clan?
“No way, I’ve heard of that Void Prince thing too.”
“That guy really gave the ancient family’s auction house billions of top-grade spirit stones!”
“Jiang Xiaobai is just a spendthrift bastard. If any money could be squeezed out of him, I would be triumphant for a decade, let alone him sending money to the ancient family.”
Ao Cheng scoffed.
Joking aside, considering his relationship with Jiang Xiaobai, he knew him very well.
The guy was a mastermind of mischief, not having a great day unless he had swindled someone. Even Ao Cheng himself had been conned by Jiang Xiaobai a few times.
The so-called Void Prince was clearly a sucker, giving money to the ancient family for no reason. The situation at the auction was speechless, making Ao Cheng feel like laughing.
This was just like a thick-headed lad from a rich landlord’s family.
Shouting prices to the sky and obtaining joy from money, unless they were those super influential people who didn’t care about money, otherwise, they were just a bunch of fools.
However, suddenly, Ao Cheng paused.
“Sss, now that you mentioned it, I smell something fishy.”
“Do you feel the Void Prince’s behavior a bit deliberate?”
Ao Cheng turned to Zhuang Huanling, seeing her nod, then she analyzed, “Of course it was deliberate, but there are people like that, a lot of them. In general, however, such people would not travel alone.”
“So a crucial reason why no one has suspected the Void Prince is because he has a master of the tribulation period by his side.”
Ao Cheng was more confused: “Jiang Xiaobai doesn’t have a master who is in the tribulation period, does he?”
At his words, Zhuang Huanling fell silent.
After a long time, she looked at Ao Cheng, “Don’t you know that when ancient life and others besieged Jiang Xiaobai, a woman of at least the tribulation period appeared after Jiang Xiaobai escaped using a special method, claiming that Jiang Xiaobai was a very important person to her.”
“I know that, but was it true?” Ao Cheng was shocked.
He really couldn’t believe it.
“There was no option, the woman was so domineering at that time, she came totally to support Jiang Xiaobai, so there is a strong suspicion, that Void Prince is him.”
“What are you waiting for, hurry up and follow them.”
Ao Cheng quickly interjected.
Now he was more curious about Jiang Xiaobai, what kind of fortune had this bastard obtained in a few months’ time, even making contact with a figure in the tribulation period?
In West Wind City, after Jiang Xiaobai had wandered around for a long time and even went to the familiar place, he didn’t notice anything unusual.
It seemed that his previous actions had not been exposed.
“In this case, I can play another round.”
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai had both hands tucked in his sleeves. With a pointy mouth and monkey cheeks, he leaned against a wall, looking slyly around.
This look was as villainous as it could get.
People passing by looked at Jiang Xiaobai with disgust or revulsion, some even intentionally avoided walking near him.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t care at all, was he going to worry about something like this after facing much greater storms?
After a long time, he sneakily mixed in the ancient family auction again, almost getting kicked out. He was spared only because he took out a lot of treasures to sell, otherwise, they would have no qualms about throwing him out.
He got several million spirit stones from the ancient family’s auction. Then Jiang Xiaobai made some fake spirit stones, taking even more spirit medicine and materials from the ancient family.
A small fortune made.
After doing all this, he planned to leave, but as he was leaving, he suddenly noticed a few suspicious figures in the crowd not far away..
Curiously, he gave them a second glance, only to find out that their target seemed to be the ancient family’s auction house.
Before Jiang Xiaobai could react, the auction house was completely blown up.
In a literal sense, an explosion!
The noise was loud and the impact was huge.
But, well, the actual outcome was not that drastic, it just caused some damage and lost face.
The actual effect was not ideal, as the valuables in the ancient family auction house were always kept on hand, and the items displayed were isolated by formations.
This was to prevent such situations from happening.
When the explosion ended, those few sneaky individuals took off running, with several high-ranking people rushing out from the ancient family’s side, too.
However, they knew they wouldn’t be able to catch them, so they started cursing.
“Damn it, this is already the third time this month, when will these bastards stop?”
“We can’t even catch them, and we don’t know how they managed to do this to us, it’s infuriating!”
“A bunch of damn nuisances, thinking of destroying my ancient family, they can dream on. With our strength, if we find their hideout, we can easily take it down.”
After cursing for a while, they all turned around and left, and there was not much reaction from the crowd.
It seemed that everyone was used to it.
Soon, the ancient family’s auction house returned to what it was before, and if people hadn’t experienced this event, they would have no idea what had happened.
Jiang Xiaobai half-closed his eyes, glanced at the ancient family’s auction and then secretly used the earth escape technique, activated “Divine Concealment”, and sneakily followed those people.
Those who caused the explosion were relatively amateurish, and their alertness to being trailed was not high, as if they all assumed that the ancient family would not find them.
Soon, Jiang Xiaobai had followed them for quite some time, finally arriving at a waterfall outside of West Wind City.
Upon confirming there was no one following them, a communication token appeared in their hands.
After making contact, the waterfall directly opened a path, revealing a cave inside, guarded by a girl.
Upon their entry, the waterfall restored itself.
Jiang Xiaobai was shocked by this sight.
A live-action Water Curtain Cave?
But to be fair, such a hiding method is hard to think of for most people. Jiang Xiaobai’s divine sense swept over the waterfall and couldn’t find any cave entrance, it must be isolated by formations to prevent detection.
“This is interesting, plotting to destroy the ancient family?”
“As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If I could secretly ally with them, maybe we could give the ancient family a run for their money.”
Jiang Xiaobai grinned to himself and went back directly.
Upon his return, the woman had already awakened, although she still looked a bit dazed, she was at least normal compared to before.
“This is a normal reaction, her divine spirit is severely damaged, it’s up to your methods.”
On seeing Jiang Xiaobai return, Gu Ning stood up: “I should go now, be careful and don’t confront the ancient family recklessly. If you die, I will feel sad for a long time.”
“Eh, only feeling sad? Won’t you avenge me?”
“It depends on my mood.”
Gu Ning gave a light smile and vanished like a watercolor painting.
