Danwu God Emperor

With the sound of a gong and drum, the auction officially began. The four entered the room and could clearly see the treasures on the display stand below through the gauze window. A woman dressed in a seductive manner slowly walked onto the display stand.

Holding her precious possession, she chattered incessantly, occasionally casting flirtatious glances at the customers below.

Even so, it had no effect. The money was all in their own hands. None of the items in this auction were eye-catching. It was impossible to get people to spend money just because of their beauty. Besides, the big families who came here were all there to cooperate with Wanbaoge.

So the main event is yet to come; what happened before was just a formality to give Wanbaoge face.

Seeing Mu Wanrou looking preoccupied, Ye Lou felt a pang of pity and couldn't help but hold her hand, saying, "Six months is enough. I'll help you."

Upon hearing Ye Lou's words, Bai Qinglian, who had just been laughing by the window, immediately ran over and said, "That's right, Brother Ye Lou is so handsome, he can definitely be of help."

"I heard that many powerful families have come this time. I wonder if Chairman Qian is willing to cooperate with me." Mu Wanrou shook her head worriedly. Judging from the current situation of Fanyinfang in Wushan Town, it is probably the weakest force among the visitors.

Bai Zifan lowered his head in self-reproach. "My uncle never lets me get involved in his business, Sister Wanrou, I'm sorry, I can't help you."

"I've never met such a strict uncle before, hmph!" Bai Qinglian also threw a tantrum in anger.

"It's alright," Mu Wanrou said with a light smile. "It's not your fault. Wanbaoge is an auction house for treasures. It would be very difficult for Chairman Qian to auction our information. I'm afraid our initial offerings will be outshone."

Everyone fell into silence.

"Black Wind Grass! It has a unique fragrance and is a medicinal material for a mid-grade one-star elixir. The starting bid is one thousand gold coins."

"Black Wind Grass! Black Wind Grass!" The auction cries from below suddenly brought a glimmer of hope to Ye Lou. Overjoyed, he immediately stood up from his chair and went to the window to take a look. "Oh my, this is a real treasure!"

Bai Qinglian asked in bewilderment, "Brother Ye Lou, although this Black Wind Grass is rare, it can only be used to make some one-star pills. It has no other use, so it can't be considered a treasure, right?"

"Why can't it be considered a treasure! It's incredibly useful!" Ye Lou raised his arm and shouted, "Five thousand!"

Mu Wanrou stood up in shock. "Are you crazy? These Black Wind Grasses are worth at most 1,500!"

Bai Qinglian clapped her hands excitedly. "Brother Ye Lou is so handsome!"

“I understand that logic. Men are most handsome when they're paying!” Bai Zifan nodded secretly, agreeing wholeheartedly.

Mu Wanrou glared at him irritably, then returned to her seat and stopped talking.

Black Wind Grass! How come I didn't think of that? Black Wind Grass can completely make up for the lack of fragrance in the Breeze Swaying, and its effect may even be better than that of the Horn Family. Thinking of this, Ye Lou secretly rejoiced that this trip was not in vain.

During the subsequent auction, Ye Lou watched intentionally or unintentionally, and indeed there were no treasures worth buying. After the auction ended, the customers on the first floor all left, leaving only the distinguished guests in the second-floor private rooms.

They were all invited to the Wanbaoge lounge. The lounge was larger than expected, capable of accommodating hundreds of people. These representatives of prominent families were in groups of three or five, some sitting and some standing.

"I heard that Nangong Feng and Yu Tianyi came today. I'm afraid we don't have much hope."

"Hey, the Nangong family is a big family in Glory City. Yu Tianyi seems to be representing the Brahma Sound Pavilion in Glory City. Wanbao Pavilion is currently at its peak. If we can cooperate with them, they will definitely give priority to our partners when it comes to any treasures. There will also be many other benefits."

"Don't get your hopes up. Hopefully, we can get to know these two talented individuals here today. There will definitely be benefits to be had. Just don't choose the wrong side!"

There are now forty or fifty people in the lounge, discussing amongst themselves, clearly divided into two factions.

In the corner, there were naturally some families still clinging to a sliver of hope, and these were the four major families of Lanxi Town: Zhao, Gong, Xu, and Ling.

"Nangong Feng is here!" someone shouted.

Looking towards the sound, a man walked in through the gate, head held high, with an extraordinary air about him. He walked with his hands behind his back, and everyone who saw him went up to greet him. Whoever could get in touch with him would surely rise to prominence in the future.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence that after responding to everyone, Nangong Feng sat down opposite Yu Tianyi. The two were one warm and the other cold, each with their own supporters behind them. Neither was afraid of the other, and each was in their own way.

At this moment, Bai Zifan led Ye Lou and the others into the lounge, and all eyes turned to them. Mu Wanrou's charm was undeniable, and with the addition of Bai Qinglian, a budding beauty, everyone in the lounge was drawn to her.

Only Yu Tianyi, who was sitting there, grinned coldly.

"I never imagined that there would be such a beautiful woman in Lanxi Town." Everyone present was amazed, and even the proud and arrogant Nangong Feng couldn't help but take another look.

"Aren't those Chairman Qian's nephew and niece? And who's that other man next to them?" someone in the crowd asked.

Although the Ye family was renowned in Wushan Town, it was ultimately only a third-tier town, while Lanxi Town was a first-tier town. Compared to them, the Ye family was far inferior. The only person they could probably remember was Ye Haotian, the head of the Ye family.

"I know!"

Ye Lou was startled; someone actually recognized him. Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a young man laugh and say, "He's Ye Lou, the once-in-a-century waste of the Ye family of Wushan Town. At sixteen, he only has two levels of internal energy."

The lounge erupted in laughter.

It's laughable that a sixteen-year-old only has two levels of internal strength. Nowadays, servants in most large families must have three levels of internal strength, or they will be kicked out. Ye Lou's reputation as a good-for-nothing is truly well-deserved.

The young man stood in the crowd, seemingly gaining a sense of recognition, and felt quite satisfied.

Ye Lou smiled wryly, never expecting his reputation to be so great. He didn't care about his reputation at all.

Bai Qinglian, standing to the side, was already seething with hatred. "This person is so hateful, I really want to slash his face a few times."

"Don't do anything reckless. He's Ling Yuan, the young master of the Ling family. If your uncle scolds you, you'll be locked up again." Bai Zifan was afraid that his younger sister would act impulsively and he would be in trouble, even though he really wanted to help Ye Lou.

Ling Yuan stood in the middle, speaking eloquently. Seeing that Ye Lou remained unmoved, he assumed Ye Lou was afraid of him and became even more reckless. "I heard his father is also a good-for-nothing, lying at home waiting to die."
