"Here you are a list of items to be auctioned, along with their prices!"
Liu Zhaodi handed the file folder to Jiang Yuan and said, "If the auction goes smoothly, we should be able to earn 12 million ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones."
"You're quite efficient!" Jiang Yuan praised after opening and glancing at the several-page list.
"Don't you know that it takes one person talking to someone below and their legs running around like crazy?"
At this moment, Liu Zhaodi was looking at Jiang Yuan with her charming and amorous eyes, as if she were teasing him.
"Thank you!" Jiang Yuan leaned down and kissed Liu Zhaodi on the forehead.
"This doesn't count as payment in kind. I won't be polite with you about the commission the Liu family is entitled to!" Liu Zhaodi said playfully, winking.
Jiang Yuan nodded without hesitation. After thinking for a while, he took out a set of beautifully packaged pills. "Zhao Di, take these. I've already arranged the order for you. Just take them in order from childhood to adulthood!"
"What is this?" Liu Zhaodi took out a pill labeled number one and shook it in her hand.
"The Purple Spirit Pill can enhance the spiritual barrier! This set of pills can raise both your dual-elemental energies to the nine thousand level," Jiang Yuan explained.
"Nine thousand!" A look of disbelief flashed in Liu Zhaodi's eyes, then she immediately returned the item, shaking her head and saying, "No, I'd better not accept it! You can leave it for Ning Yanlan or Tang Yingjun."
"They've already used them, so feel free to use them!" Jiang Yuan acted casually, as if these things weren't valuable at all.
"Forget it, if I use it, Sister Yanlan will definitely misunderstand you. Let's take it back!" Although Liu Zhaodi felt a pang of sadness, her attitude remained firm.
She promised not to disturb his life, and Liu Zhaodi was able to keep her word.
"What misunderstanding? She said it was for you!" Jiang Yuan shrugged.
"real?"
Liu Zhaodi had a million questions in her mind, because if she put herself in her shoes, she wouldn't be so kind.
"Perhaps she discovered something!" Jiang Yuan was also extremely uneasy, unable to fathom Ning Yanlan's thoughts.
"Oh, right, there's also this cultivation scroll; it'll make cultivation even better when used in conjunction with it!"
Jiang Yuan placed another cultivation scroll on the table. Taking the Purple Spirit Pill was not something that could be accomplished overnight. Without the help of the cultivation scroll, it would be difficult to reach the 9,000 Spirit Realm barrier in a short time.
Liu Zhaodi's hands were wrapped together, looking particularly conflicted. After thinking for a long time, she finally gripped the two items tightly and said, "Please thank my sister for me!"
"Relax, it's just a small gift!" Jiang Yuan waved his hand. He was particularly uncomfortable with Liu Zhaodi's restraint and didn't want to make things difficult for the originally innocent and lively Liu Zhaodi because of himself.
"Jiang Yuan, it seems there's something wrong with the auction!" Liu Zhaodi's expression suddenly changed. She pulled her foot back from Jiang Yuan's arms and said, "I'll go take a look!"
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Liu Zhaodi's anxious expression, Jiang Yuan also got off the bed.
"Someone must be causing trouble!" Liu Zhaodi wasn't sure either.
"I won't get involved in this matter, but I'll have the Tomb Maiden accompany you!" Jiang Yuan snapped his fingers, and the tall Tomb Maiden emerged from the Reincarnation Space.
"Greetings, General! Greetings, Madam!"
The tomb maiden bowed slightly, then stood quietly to the side.
"Go out with Zhao Di and take a look!" Jiang Yuan said.
The tomb maiden has her own unique appearance. Although she bears a slight resemblance to the other women, others only experience a momentary daze when they see her and don't think much of it. After all, aesthetics are always somewhat coincidental and similar.
"Yes, madam!" The tomb goddess replied with utmost respect.
Liu Zhaodi turned her head and glared fiercely at Jiang Yuan, as if to say, "Wait until I get back and settle accounts with you." As for what accounts, they would undoubtedly be the accounts of keeping a mistress in a golden house.
"Go quickly, I'll explain when I get back!" Jiang Yuan said helplessly.
Liu Zhaodi led the tomb maiden out, and Jiang Yuan, disguised in a black robe, followed closely behind.
The auction was still held in the air-raid shelter under the square, which was not far away. The three of them arrived a few minutes later, one after the other.
However, as soon as they arrived, they saw a group of people fighting at the entrance of the auction.
"What are you doing? Don't you know an auction is still going on?"
Liu Zhaodi rushed over and first reprimanded her employees before turning her attention to the group causing trouble, wanting an explanation from them.
"Second Miss, you've finally arrived!" The Liu family steward pleaded with Liu Zhaodi with a pained expression.
"What's going on?" Liu Zhaodi, who had been quiet and gentle when she was with Jiang Yuan, now exuded a powerful aura.
"They auctioned off a set of Breakthrough Pills worth 100,000 ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones. The transaction was completed, but after it was over, they started causing trouble, claiming that the pills we sold were counterfeit and demanding a refund. But we checked them, and the Breakthrough Pills we sold are completely different from the ones they brought back! They're clearly trying to extort us!" the Liu family steward said angrily.
"How dare you talk like that, old man? Who's trying to scam you? It's because the products you sold have quality issues. What's wrong with us offering a refund?" A blond young man in the troublemaking group spoke very rudely.
"Whose faction are you?" Liu Zhaodi glared at the blond youth.
"Brother Li, let's go inside and cause a scene. If they don't refund the money today, I want to see how this auction goes on!"
The crew-cut youth next to the blond-haired man led a few people straight to the auction house.
"Stop them!"
The steward of the Liu family called out anxiously, but Liu Zhaodi shook her head and stopped him, saying, "No need, we can just follow them!"
Liu Zhaodi knew very well that this was a test. The other forces had long coveted their auction, and now that they knew the Liu family had sent 90% of their elites, they dared to send people to cause trouble. If this matter was not resolved today, the other forces would soon launch their attack.
