A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

"Hahahaha! That's hilarious!"

"I never expected Brother Lin, who is always so composed, to say such a thing. He must be quite angry!"

"I've known you for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen you react like this."

Ye Hongyi slapped the chair repeatedly, laughing so hard he could barely breathe.

The Lin family father and son showed no mercy, furiously cursing Chen Zhaowu.

The Ye family, who were not involved, could simply watch the show.

Ye Heng felt it was unreal; that Heaven-rank cultivation technique was actually fake.

He wanted to compete even with the starting bid of tens of millions.

Unfortunately, he couldn't compete with Chen Ming in terms of financial resources, so he was forced to give up. After returning home, he shared the same idea as Lin Sheng and kept thinking about that Heaven-ranked cultivation technique.

In the second competition just now, they still couldn't beat the Lin family.

Just when I thought there was no chance left, a huge reversal occurred.

Who would have thought that Tianjie was a fake!

Moreover, that counterfeit book sold for 14.5 million high-grade source stones.

Ye Heng breathed a sigh of relief; poverty had saved his life.

If it were the moment he bought the Heavenly Rank cultivation technique and discovered it was a fake.

Given Ye Hongyi's personality, he would definitely beat him up for forty-nine days straight, torturing him until he was unrecognizable.

Knowing his father's punishment, Ye Heng couldn't help but tremble.

For the first time, I realized that it's a good thing to be less wealthy than others.

Gu Jun listened to the discussion and was completely baffled; the topic of conversation was beyond his imagination.

"What on earth are these people saying? Why can't I understand them?"

"Heavenly-rank cultivation techniques? Are they talking about Heavenly-rank cultivation techniques?"

"Old Sun, Old Wu, has there been any news of Heaven-Rank cultivation techniques in Jiangcheng?"

Old Sun and Old Wu reacted in exactly the same way as Gu Jun.

There has never been a word that a Heaven-Rank cultivation technique has appeared in Jiangcheng.

He could only shake his head helplessly at Gu Jun's question.

Unable to find an answer, Gu Jun had no choice but to turn his attention to the people of Jiangcheng.

Ignoring the Lin and Chen families, it seems that only the Ye family can calmly answer the questions now.

"Patriarch Ye, I have something to ask you."

Ye Hongyi immediately stopped smiling and walked respectfully to Gu Jun's side.

"Your Holiness, please speak. I, Ye, will never conceal anything I know."

Seeing Ye Hongyi's candid attitude, Gu Jun finally asked the question that had been on his mind.

"You Jiangcheng people are all discussing the fact that a Heaven-Rank cultivation technique is a fake."

"Why haven't I heard a single word about the Heavenly Rank while I'm in the Xuan Yun Holy Land?"

Ye Hongyi froze on the spot, unsure how to respond.

After all, the moment the news of the Heavenly Rank broke, the three major families used all their connections to keep the news under wraps in Jiangcheng.

If such a good thing were to come to the attention of the powerful forces outside Jiangcheng, it would be troublesome.

Due to the power of the three major families, the people of Jiangcheng only dared to discuss it with acquaintances.

The news circulated only within Jiangcheng; those outside were completely unaware.

The Ye family deserves credit for this.

Since the Holy Son had asked the question, Ye Hongyi naturally wanted to distance himself from the situation.

Feigning surprise, he asked with a look of curiosity, "Your Highness, you're in the Xuan Yun Holy Land, haven't you heard this news?"

"I have no idea what's going on."

"Perhaps it's related to the Lin and Chen families."

Gu Jun said, "Oh? It's related to the Lin and Chen families, but has nothing to do with your Ye family?"

Ye Hongyi said earnestly, "Your Holiness, everything I have said is true, and I have not concealed anything!"

"Is this true?"

"really!"

"I'll trust you this once. It seems that news about the Heavenly Rank is indeed being kept under wraps in Jiangcheng, causing me to miss a good show."

Gu Jun was somewhat disappointed. As the Holy Son of Xuan Yun, he had never seen a true Heaven-rank cultivation technique in his life.

The highest-ranking cultivation technique he had ever seen was the Earth-rank technique he was currently practicing, the Profound Cloud Sword Art.

If news of a Heavenly Rank item truly appears, even if it's just a fragment, Gu Jun will do everything in his power to acquire it.

Unfortunately, the one from Jiangcheng was a fake.

If it is the genuine article, then coming to Jiangcheng today was definitely the right decision.

Chen Zhaowu stood still and was scolded by the Lin family for three minutes.

His face was expressionless, not because he had a good temper, but because his mood was extremely chaotic.

The wife who stole the Holy Body and placed it inside her son's body, the son who was brutally beaten on stage after the Holy Body was stolen, and the Heavenly Rank fragment he bought with all his money, tens of millions of high-grade source stones, turned out to be a fake.

The people of Jiangcheng surrounding the city hurled unrestrained insults at the Chen family.

Even Lin Xingwei, the usually composed and unassuming head of the Lin family, was so angry that he pointed at him and cursed him.

Chen Zhaowu felt his blood surging, and a mouthful of blood gushed out from his throat with a sweet taste.

A powerful expert at the Spirit Mansion Realm was actually angered to the point of internal injury.

Tens of millions of high-grade source stones can be collected after the competition ends.

They were so close to getting rid of this enormous burden on the Lin family.

The fragments of the Heavenly Ranks are no longer an eyesore to me.

Now that the issue of counterfeit goods is widely known, how can he possibly find someone willing to buy counterfeit goods?

"So close, so close!"

Chen Zhaowu's doting gaze toward Chen Ming turned into an unending torrent of hatred.

"You unfilial son, you unfilial son! You're good for nothing and good for nothing! What use are you to me?!"

"puff!"

Chen Zhaowu could no longer hold back and spat out another mouthful of blood.

Several servants of the Chen family quickly brought over a stool and placed it behind Chen Zhaowu.

Chen Zhaowu fell backward, lying stiffly on the chair, his face filled with despair.

"Brother Lin, since you haven't suffered any losses, why are you being so aggressive?"

Lin Xing retorted, "I didn't suffer any losses? I almost suffered huge losses!"

"Knowing full well that the Heavenly Rank item is fake, you still wanted to sell it to me at an exorbitant price. You're insane!"

Chen Zhaowu laughed in anger and mocked, "The source stone didn't end up in my hands, and the Heavenly Rank didn't end up in yours either. Where did Brother Lin suffer any loss?"

"It's just that the Heavenly Rank item is fake, and it's far from what you expected."

"But don't you think about it? This legendary Heavenly Rank is truly a treasure. Why would I sell it to you?"

"If you're foolish enough to take the bait, then you can't blame anyone else."

"Brother Lin, please make yourself at home."

Lin Xingwei laughed in anger, no longer intending to continue arguing with Chen Zhaowu.

No actual loss occurred, which is the best outcome.

However, being deceived is truly an unpleasant experience.

He returned to his seat at the Lin family's table and continued watching the match, which was still ongoing.

Deep down, I was wondering how terrible Chen Ming's fate would be.

Chen Zhaowu glanced at Shan Xingchang on the other side of the martial arts arena, and saw his indifferent expression, which fueled his anger.

If it weren't for his Jiangcheng Auction House, the Chen family wouldn't be in this situation.

Thinking of the young man surnamed Chen who had consigned the Heavenly Rank cultivation technique to his name, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Chen Yue's performance in this competition was truly bizarre.

Could the Mr. Chen mentioned by the bank manager be him?

Although the idea was too far-fetched, his intuition told him that it was very likely.

Just as Chen Zhaowu was highly suspicious of Chen Yue, Chen Yue on the martial arts stage said something to Chen Ming that left him speechless.
