Caught off guard, Qi Ming stumbled.
He never expected that anyone would dare to lay a hand on him.
He was the third young master of the Qi family in the Tianyuan Dynasty, yet he was beaten in the small state of Zhao.
Mu Xue and the steward were both dumbfounded.
The manager realized the situation had escalated and quickly left to find the chairman.
At this moment, Qi Ming covered his face, his eyes bloodshot with rage, and pointed at Ling Yun and the others, shouting angrily:
"If you dare touch me, you're finished!"
"Today, I'm determined to destroy you and the Ziyang Sect. No one can stop me from doing what I said!"
"Men, kill these madmen!"
boom!
No sooner had he finished speaking than a terrifying old man suddenly appeared behind Qi Ming.
The old man wore a black cloak, and his cold eyes shone with a terrifying light.
"Anyone who harms Qi's family will be exterminated!"
After saying this, the old man raised his hand, preparing to kill Ling Yun and the others.
"Stop!"
At that moment, a woman's soft shout rang out.
Then, a woman dressed in the Yuanbao Merchant Guild's attire, with an extremely beautiful face and an air of authority between her brows, strode over.
The woman was Ji Ziyue, the president of the Zhao State branch of the Yuanbao Chamber of Commerce.
Upon seeing Ji Ziyue approach, Qi Ming immediately shouted:
"President Ji, this person has offended my Qi family. I will kill him. President Ji, please do not interfere in this matter, or don't blame me for destroying the Zhao branch as well."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ziyue frowned slightly, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes. She had truly experienced the domineering nature of the Qi family.
Ji Ziyue then said, neither humble nor arrogant:
"Young Master Qi, you knew these two fairies had Daoist partners, yet you still dared to flirt with them. Didn't they have the right to resist?"
"You..." Qi Ming was furious. Ji Ziyue was giving him no face at all.
Aren't they afraid that the Qi family will destroy the Zhao branch?
Ji Ziyue ignored him and instead looked at Ling Yun, asking with curiosity in her eyes:
"May I ask if you are Young Master Ling Yun?"
Ling Yun nodded slightly, somewhat curious as to why Ji Ziyue recognized him.
As early as yesterday, Lin Zhennan had informed Ji Ziyue that Ling Yun was coming to attend the auction.
At first, Ji Ziyue didn't pay much attention, but after reading about Ling Yun's life, she immediately took it seriously.
To become the branch president at the age of twenty, Ji Ziyue's vision is extraordinary.
She sensed that Ling Yun was extraordinary, especially when she saw his eyes just now, which gave her a jolt.
The gaze that only the supreme being possessed made Ji Ziyue look up to him with admiration, and she made up her mind that even if it meant falling out with the Qi family, she would still cling to Ling Yun's coattails.
Seeing how respectful Ji Ziyue was to Ling Yun, Qi Ming was furious and felt offended.
"Ji Ziyue! You're digging a grave for the Zhao Kingdom branch!"
Upon hearing Qi Ming's threat, Ji Ziyue turned around abruptly, unleashing her full aura, and coldly retorted:
"Young Master Qi, you are far too arrogant. The Qi family is strong, but not strong enough to rival the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce."
Apologize to Young Master Ling now, or get out of here!
"You..." Qi Ming was furious, pointing at Ji Ziyue and shouting angrily:
"Someone, get me..."
The next moment!
A figure flew past swiftly, instantly blasting Qi Ming's protector away, who coughed up blood.
Hiss~
Seeing this, Qi Ming instantly calmed down. He had indeed lost his temper. The Yuanbao Chamber of Commerce was the number one chamber of commerce in the Golden Cloud Continent, a transcendent and powerful force.
The Qi family is not qualified to fight against the Yuanbao Chamber of Commerce.
Ji Ziyue said coldly:
"I was only giving the Qi family face just now, otherwise Young Master Qi would have been instantly annihilated."
"I'm asking you one last time, are you going to apologize or not?"
Qi Ming quickly bowed to Ling Yun and apologized:
"Young Master Ling, I'm sorry. I was blinded by lust and offended your Daoist partner. Please don't hold it against me."
Before leaving, the patriarch ordered that the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique must be obtained. Qi Ming dared not leave in a dejected manner, and could only lower his proud head. In his heart, he had already issued a death warrant for Ling Yun.
Ling Yun ignored him and instead looked at Ji Ziyue, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
"Thank you, President Hime!"
Ji Ziyue smiled and nodded, "I'll escort Young Master Ling to the private room!"
Watching Ling Yun and the others' retreating figures, Qi Ming's eyes were filled with venomous resentment. He turned to Mu Xue beside him and said in a deep voice:
"Find out the background of this Ling Yun!"
...
Ji Ziyue led Ling Yun and his group into a luxurious private room.
The private room faces the venue through a huge floor-to-ceiling window.
It offers a panoramic view of the venue, and the private rooms are served with premium spiritual tea and fruits.
"I apologize for what happened today, Young Master Ling. I'm sorry to have caused you and your partner any distress."
Ji Ziyue said with a face full of apology.
Xiao Yanran and Yan Ruyu looked shy, wanting to explain that they were not Daoist partners with Ling Yun, but they swallowed their words.
Ling Yun didn't bother to explain. He had a good impression of Ji Ziyue and took out a jade pendant, handing it to her.
"President Ji has encountered a problem during her training, right? There's a Heart Sutra imprinted inside the jade pendant. Recite the Heart Sutra ten times a day, and all the hidden dangers will be repaired in three days!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Ziyue was greatly shocked. She had indeed made a mistake in her training, but she had concealed it very well, and even the highest-ranking retainer had not noticed anything amiss.
Ling Yun actually saw through it at a glance and even used his Heart Sutra to treat the hidden dangers. He is indeed a master.
Ji Ziyue felt that she had made the right bet.
"Thank you, Young Master Ling!"
After bowing with clasped hands, Ji Ziyue waved to the door.
Soon a woman of striking appearance entered.
"Young Master Ling, this is Xiaoyue, the head manager of the Zhao Kingdom branch. She will be raising the paddle for you at today's auction!"
After saying that, Ji Ziyue left the private room.
Xiaoyue bowed to Lingyun:
"Young Master Ling, please feel free to contact me if you need anything!"
After saying that, he stood straight by the window, holding a sign in his hand to quote prices.
Ling Yun and the others took their seats and looked out the window. It was A Bao and the others' first time attending an auction, and their eyes were filled with curiosity and excitement.
There were a total of three thousand people attending the auction, all of whom were from the sects of several major dynasties.
The vast majority of people were sitting below the platform.
Ling Yun shifted his gaze upwards and saw that the private room directly opposite him belonged to Qi Ming, with his bodyguard sitting next to him.
At this moment, Qi Ming was looking at Ling Yun with a sinister expression, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.
Ah Bao witnessed this and immediately felt that his older brother had been offended.
In a fit of anger, A Bao gave Qi Ming the middle finger, and Ling Yao followed suit.
The little white fox felt it couldn't raise its middle finger with its paws, so it turned its rear end towards Qi Ming and held its tail straight up.
Seeing this, Qi Ming was furious and was about to explode when the old man beside him stopped him.
"Young master, please be patient! The family's experts are on their way."
Qi Ming shook off the old man and snorted coldly:
"If Ling Yun manages to snag a treasure today, I'll change my surname to his!"
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Just then, three gongs rang out, and the entire hall fell silent.
Everyone turned to look at the stage.
The Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce auction house is about to begin.
