“But I asked a lot of people, and not a single one of them could recognize this strange stone, which made me quite disappointed.”

"I thought no one would recognize this strange stone, but I never expected that you guys would figure it out today. It's like finding a hidden village after passing through many mountains and rivers."

Fairy Xuanbing nodded slightly and said, "It seems that the wind and waves swept this piece of ice stone up from the seabed of the Ice Strait Bay and it just so happened to get stuck under your ship. The ice layer that suddenly appeared was caused by a slight leakage of the power inside the ice stone."

Bai Yue continued, "Boss, you just said that you would give this stone to us as long as we could identify what it is. You're not going back on your word, are you?"

Chen Youde chuckled: "How could I be the kind of person who goes back on his word? You can take this Ice Stone away now."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Bai Yue immediately grabbed the Ice Stone, preparing to stuff it into her storage ring.

Night Breeze watched from the side and couldn't help but chuckle.

Bai Yue had no use for the Ice Crystal Stone, but this girl was just like Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan; she wanted anything good, whether it was useful or not.

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out.

"etc!"

Night Wind and White Moon turned their heads to look, while Fairy Xuanbing and Boss Chen also looked in the direction from which the sound came.

A young man strode over.

This young master was dressed in fine clothes, and his face appeared quite effeminate.

Upon seeing this person, Chen Youde's expression changed drastically: "So it's Young Master Gu! I never expected you to come to my shop. It's truly an honor to have you here!"

"Who is this person?" Bai Yue asked.

Chen Youde was even more surprised and looked at Bai Yue, saying, "Miss, you don't even recognize Young Master Gu? This is Gu Xuefeng, the second son of our Ice Dragon City Lord!"

Gu Xuefeng was quite satisfied with Chen Youde's attitude.

But Ye Feng's indifferent expression, and the nonchalant looks of Xuanbing Fairy and Bai Yue, made him very dissatisfied.

However, Gu Xuefeng's attention was currently focused on the ice stone in Bai Yue's hand.

“I never expected to find an Ice Crystal Stone here. Ice Crystal Stone is a high-grade material that the Earth Yin Sect has been buying for a long time... Boss Chen, whatever price they offered to buy your Ice Crystal Stone, I'll give you double!” Gu Xuefeng said without any politeness.

Chen Youde looked extremely embarrassed.

He was just a small antique shop owner, so naturally he wouldn't dare offend Gu Xuefeng, the son of the city lord.

But he had already promised to give the Ice Stone to Ye Feng and the others, so he didn't want to be a hypocrite.

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Youde finally said, "Young Master Gu, I'm really sorry, I've already sold this Ice Crystal Stone to them. If you want it, you can buy it from them. What follows is between you two and has nothing to do with me, so I won't get involved."

Hearing Chen Youde's words, Gu Xuefeng was quite dissatisfied and snorted coldly.

Ye Feng, however, cast an admiring glance at Chen Youde.

This Chen Youde is not bad; although he is a businessman, he is of excellent character.

They are much better than some unscrupulous businessmen who only care about money.

"I want this Ice Crystal Stone. Name your price." Gu Xuefeng looked at Ye Feng with arrogance and disdain.

Night Breeze glanced at him indifferently and said bluntly, "Why should I sell it to you?"

"Don't you know who I am? My father is the city lord of Ice Dragon City..."

Before Gu Xuefeng could finish his arrogant words, Ye Feng interrupted him: "I have no interest in knowing who your father is, and I will not sell you this Ice Star Stone."

"Are you really asking for it?!"

Gu Xuefeng sneered and clapped his hands.

Immediately, four guards strode in from outside, and as soon as they entered the shop, they released their martial arts aura.

True Essence Realm!

These four guards were all True Yuan Realm martial artists!

Moreover, one of them even reached the peak of the True Essence Realm!

Shop owner Chen Youde was immediately forced to retreat by the powerful aura emanating from the three True Yuan Realm martial artists, while the other customers in the shop were also frightened and ran outside in a panic.

So, after only a short while, there was no one else left in the shop except for Ye Feng, Gu Xuefeng, and the others.

"Kid, repeat what you just said?"

Gu Xuefeng sneered, his expression becoming even more arrogant.

It seems that with these four True Essence Realm martial artists backing him up, he has become more confident.

The antique shop owner, Chen Youde, was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was covered in cold sweat. He quickly gave Ye Feng a meaningful look, but Ye Feng did not take his hint to heart.

These four True Essence Realm martial artists were unapproachable figures to someone like Chen Youde, powerful beings who could easily crush him.

But in Ye Feng's eyes, these four True Yuan Realm martial artists were nothing!

Night Breeze didn't even bother to glance at them!

"You want me to say it again, so I have to say it again? Who do you think you are?" Ye Feng said disdainfully.

"Fine, since you're courting death, you can't blame me. I'll grant your wish today!"

Gu Xuefeng said coldly, then waved his hand heavily: "Kill them and snatch that Ice Crystal Stone!"

"Yes, young master!"

The four True Essence Realm martial artists strode towards Ye Feng together, each with a contemptuous expression, as if they were looking at an ant.

Bai Yue chuckled and said, "They're really facing imminent disaster without even realizing it. Is the young master of Ice Dragon City really that foolish?"

However, just as Ye Feng was about to make his move, members of the Wang family, who had been following him from a distance, suddenly burst in.

"Wait a minute!"

Gu Xuefeng turned his head to look at the Wang family member who was leading the group, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

"Wang Anran, is that you?"

Wang Anran is Wang Ruyun's cousin and his uncle's adopted son.

As a member of the Wang family, Wang Anran had naturally met Gu Xuefeng, the young master of Ice Dragon City, and it was impossible for her not to recognize him.

“Young Master, this Master Sun is a member of our Wang family, and he is also a seventh-grade alchemist. Please don’t be too aggressive, Young Master Gu,” Wang Anran said.

Gu Xuefeng frowned deeply.

Seeing this, Wang Anran said, "Young Master Gu, if you insist on taking action, I certainly have no right to stop you, but this will more or less affect the reputation and face of the city lord, right? Do you really want to see the people of Ice Dragon City gossiping about the city lord and saying that your Gu family is a bully who uses their power to oppress others?"

Gu Xuefeng hesitated.

After a long pause, he finally gave Ye Feng and the others a cold look: "You're lucky today!"

After saying that, Gu Xuefeng strode away.
