Upon hearing this, Wu Shenji's expression immediately froze.
Expel Lin Jinglong?
Is this a joke?
Lin Jinglong is now one of the most distinguished members of their Dark Star Auction House, with unlimited potential. They would never do something like this.
However, Qian Duolu's identity is also quite special.
Unlike Cao Tianchun from the Divine Pill Sect's Enforcement Hall, he was only a junior of a seventh-rank elder within the Divine Pill Sect.
But Qian Duolu is the heir of the Qian family!
His treasure-hunting skills are considered unparalleled even within the Duobao lineage, making him one of the top geniuses.
They also have many business dealings with their auction house.
"This... I'm afraid that won't work."
Wu Shenji said reluctantly.
Qian Duolu's expression froze.
"Elder Wu, haven't you figured out the situation yet? I am a Black Gold VIP of your auction house. I don't even deserve this little bit of privilege?"
Wu Shenji still looked troubled.
Lin Jinglong took out the dark gold card and tossed it into Manager Li's hand.
“My VIP status is higher than his. If we’re talking about privileges, I’ll buy this dragon scale right now!”
Dark Gold Card?
Qian Duolu suddenly paused for a moment.
He stared at Lin Jinglong in disbelief.
This is the highest level of authority in the auction house that only a reclusive family head like his father would be qualified to obtain!
This slap in the face came completely out of the blue!
Even the stall owner standing nearby was momentarily speechless.
He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that he had probably messed with the wrong person and offended a Dark Gold Card holder.
Lin Jinglong is the real big shot!
This is a matter of life and death!
"Sir, I was momentarily blinded by greed. I'll sell you everything on my stall first, please don't blame me!"
The middle-aged stall owner said, looking rather guilty.
Wu Shenji also spread his hands at the opportune moment and said, "Young Master Qian, I have already said that Mr. Lin is a VIP of our auction house. It is probably not feasible to expel him."
"you……"
Qian Duolu's face turned ashen.
He didn't expect that provoking Lin Jinglong would backfire so badly that he lost face.
He suddenly narrowed his eyes, which gleamed with a cold light.
"Elder Wu, it seems you don't understand the situation. I am the heir of the Duobao Qian family, and our family is not without its own dark gold cards."
"You don't care about my feelings, but do you not even care about the Qian family's feelings?"
"Then our business dealings will probably be difficult to continue!"
Wu Shenji was sweating profusely from what he said.
Even Lin Jinglong couldn't help but admire Qian Duolu.
He, a mere Saint-level cultivator, dared to threaten a high-level Martial Emperor!
"While money isn't everything, you can't do without it. The Qian family is truly extraordinary."
Lin Jinglong looked towards Wu Shenji's direction.
I'm curious to see what decision he'll make.
Just as Wu Shenji, a high-ranking Martial Emperor, was caught in a dilemma due to Qian Duolu's threat.
A cool, clear voice came from the gate.
"If Young Master Qian feels that the business between the Qian family and Dark Star Auction House should not continue, then let's end the cooperation today."
"you……"
Qian Duolu turned his head and glared at him.
But suddenly his pupils contracted.
"Situ Xue!"
"It's you, you she-devil!"
"Weren't you practicing your cultivation in the southern borderlands?"
Qian Duolu was extremely surprised when he met Situ Xue.
Lin Jinglong also looked curiously at the girl in the black dress. Her long legs were faintly visible under the hem of the dress. Her features were tall and aloof, especially her eyes, which were incredibly deep and gloomy.
Her overall demeanor was like that of a black snow lotus.
"Her name is Situ Xue. She is the young owner of Dark Star Auction House and is in charge of the Kyoto Auction House. However, I heard that she has been cultivating in the Southern Frontier for many years and does not manage specific affairs."
Lin Tianlang quietly explained from the side.
Wu Shenji's eyes lit up. The young master had indeed returned, so there was no need to worry about the pressure from the Qian family.
He glanced at Lin Jinglong again.
"It seems that the seventh-grade Emperor Blood Pill was quite effective, as it even alarmed the young master to rush back from the Southern Frontier."
Situ Xue came to the group.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she said to Qian Duolu, who looked on with surprise and doubt, "What? Didn't you say you were going to represent the Qian family and sever all business ties with our Dark Star Auction House?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking too."
“I witnessed the whole thing that just happened. You broke the rules of our auction house and tried to steal that dragon scale by trickery.”
"You are not welcome here."
Situ Xue was extremely tough.
Cold sweat was already beading on Qian Duolu's forehead.
A smile suddenly appeared on his large, fat face.
"This... I was just joking."
“The Qian family’s annual transaction volume with Dark Star Auction House reaches millions of points, and both parties benefit.”
"How can we give up such a win-win business opportunity?"
Situ Xue snorted coldly.
Her gaze fell on Lin Jinglong.
"Mr. Lin, our auction house has failed to provide adequate hospitality. I will buy that dragon scale as an apology!"
When she faced Lin Jinglong, her tone was equally stiff, but it was full of sincerity.
Not only was Qian Duolu surprised, but even Wu Shenji's eyes widened, and he was filled with emotion.
Lin Jinglong has quite the influence!
Lin Tianlang also felt surprised and uncertain.
"This Situ Xue is notoriously lawless. She once single-handedly killed several reclusive geniuses who dared to speak disrespectfully. She seems to have a special regard for Lin Jinglong?"
Lin Jinglong accepted her apology without hesitation.
