Before he could recover from the shock, Pu Xueyi trembled upon hearing Lu Yuan's words.
"Who...who are you?!"
Pu Xueyi stared at Lu Yuan with a look of horror on his face, as if the person standing in front of him was not a human, but a monster.
Otherwise, how could a kid who has just entered the Earth Spirit level possibly defeat a fifth-level Earth Spirit Beast Tamer, and even take on two opponents at once and kill them in one hit?!
Something's not right!
This was completely beyond his comprehension!
"Didn't Mr. Pu properly investigate my background before coming here?" Lu Yuan asked with a half-smile.
Pu Xueyi was slightly taken aback.
All he could think about was how to obtain the cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts; he didn't consider Lu Yuan's background at all.
Looking back now, it's astonishing that Lu Yuan, at such a young age, was able to put so many cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts up for auction, and even after holding two auctions, no one has come to cause trouble. On the contrary, his business is booming and his reputation is soaring.
All of this is eerie and clearly indicates that there's something fishy going on!
After figuring things out, Pu Xueyi could no longer be arrogant, and his legs even began to tremble slightly.
"Who...who exactly are you...?"
Pu Xueyi asked again, but his tone became extremely fearful.
Lu Yuan didn't answer, but just smiled and glanced at him.
"Mr. Pu, you didn't just bring these few good-for-nothings, did you? With that, you're dreaming if you think you can kill me!"
Lu Yuan's tone was indifferent, but to Pu Xueyi it sounded like the whisper of a demon, so terrifying that his legs went weak and he knelt down.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I coveted what didn't belong to me. Please spare my life, Master Lu!"
Looking at Pu Xueyi, whose attitude was completely different from before, Zheng Meng felt a little unreal.
Is this the status of the strong?
It was enough to make the arrogant and domineering patriarch of a powerful family kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
She turned to look at Lu Yuan beside her, a slight stirring in her heart.
I thought the shop manager was just a cultivator and wouldn't be particularly strong, but I never expected that he could kill a fifth-level Earth Spirit expert with his newly entered Earth Spirit level strength. It's simply amazing!
Thinking about her unnecessary actions, she felt her face burning.
He was like a clown from beginning to end...
Lu Yuan didn't sense Zheng Meng's thoughts, but even if he did, he would only smile slightly.
Pu Xueyi came here specifically for him, and had nothing to do with Zheng Meng. However, Zheng Meng did not abandon him and try to escape, but instead stood by him through thick and thin. This was already commendable, so how could he possibly laugh at her?
"Mr. Pu, you don't want the cultivation technique and the spiritual weapon anymore?" Lu Yuan asked Pu Xueyi with a smile.
"No, no!" Pu Xueyi shook his head repeatedly. "As long as you let me leave, I'll agree to anything!"
Everyone he brought was instantly killed by Lu Yuan, so what's the point of talking about cultivation techniques and spiritual weapons?
Now all he wants is to leave the Divine Beast Pavilion alive.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded and smiled.
"Alright! Let's calculate the losses in my store then."
Fortunately, it was close to closing time and there were no other customers in the Divine Beast Pavilion. Pu Xueyi must have deliberately chosen this time, which saved him a lot of trouble. However, due to the battle between the beasts, the shop's equipment was still damaged in many ways.
Lu Yuan pointed to the mahogany table with a missing leg and spoke casually.
“That’s top-quality pear wood that I went through a lot of trouble to get back. This set of tables and chairs alone is worth 100,000 yuan, not to mention the others. Shouldn’t Mr. Pu compensate me?”
Hearing this, what else could Pu Xueyi not understand?
He immediately pulled out a check from his pocket, signed it quickly, and handed it to Lu Yuan with both hands.
"Mr. Lu, I'll compensate you for whatever the losses are!"
Lu Yuan took the blank check, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Mr. Pu is very generous, then I won't stand on ceremony."
After accepting the check with satisfaction, Lu Yuan gave Zheng Meng a wink.
Zheng Meng immediately understood and quickly ran to the door to open it, directing the Seven-Colored Bird to throw all the bodyguards lying on the ground out.
Pu Xueyi heard the sound of flesh hitting the ground, his slightly fat body trembled, and he lowered his head, not daring to speak.
Until Lu Yuan's slightly cool voice suddenly came from above.
"Mr. Pu, aren't you leaving yet? Do I have to invite you?"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Pu Xueyi was immediately relieved and ran out of the Divine Beast Pavilion, ignoring the bodyguards on the ground, and got into the car to drive away.
"Take all the trash with you!"
Hearing Lu Yuan's threatening words, Pu Xueyi reluctantly shoved the stacked bodyguards into the car, stepped on the gas, and sped away.
Watching Pu Xueyi flee in panic, Zheng Meng looked at Lu Yuan with some worry.
"Manager, will he come back for revenge?"
Lu Yuan glanced at her with a smile, "Scared?"
Zheng Meng shook her head. "I'm not afraid, I'm just worried that it will affect the store's business."
This answer was somewhat unexpected, and Lu Yuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, smiling as he reassured him, "Don't worry! He won't dare to come again, and even if he does, we're not afraid! You just focus on managing the store."
He wasn't bragging.
When he had plenty of funds, he exchanged for several attack and defense formations and set them up around the Divine Beast Pavilion. Not to mention a useless person like Pu Xueyi, even a Heavenly Evolution level expert would be able to severely injure him!
"I see!"
Zheng Meng nodded heavily.
After so many incidents, she now wholeheartedly believes Lu Yuan's words. Since Lu Yuan says there's no problem, then there definitely isn't a problem!
However, this incident also served as a wake-up call for her.
She had lived too comfortably during her time at the Divine Beast Pavilion, and had even forgotten that this was a world where the strong were respected. A nobody like her, without money or power, could only rely on hard work to cultivate herself and become stronger so that she would not be bullied.
As Lu Yuan's heroic figure in battle flashed through her mind again, Zheng Meng secretly made up her mind.
She also needs to work hard in her cultivation. If she encounters a similar situation again, even if she can't help the store manager, she absolutely cannot hold him back!
...
After cleaning the shop thoroughly, it was already dark.
Lu Yuan sighed softly, "It seems we won't be able to go to the Spirit Medicine Hall today. Let's talk about it after the auction."
After Zheng Meng left work, Mu Ruxing also returned from outside.
Because Lu Yuan did not prepare any items for auction in advance, the list of items to be auctioned at the auction has not yet been released.
Mu Ruxing was already considering whether to postpone the auction, but Lu Yuan told her to proceed as planned.
He understood that Lu Yuan wouldn't do anything he wasn't sure of, so he went to the Divine Beast Auction House today for a final confirmation to ensure that tomorrow's auction would go perfectly.
"Young Master Lu, everything has been arranged at the Divine Beast Auction House. The auction can proceed as scheduled tomorrow."
"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Yuan nodded. "I'll bring the auction items over tomorrow. Tell Yang Meier to arrive at the auction early, okay?"
"I've already conveyed the message. She said she'll arrive tomorrow afternoon," Mu Ruxing replied.
Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
Unlike the previous two auctions, this time the final item is quite special, and Yang Meier needs to know about it in advance to avoid any mishaps at the auction.
