“A bunch of rubbish! Get lost! Get lost! All of you get lost!”

Facing their eager attentiveness, this arrogant Young Master not only refused to accept their help, but instead shouted loudly at them. At the same time, using both hands and feet, he punched and kicked the four men. Finally, as if the movement aggravated his pain, he drew in sharp breaths and stopped.

“Boy, you sure have guts! Just you wait!” In the end, the Young Master glared fiercely at Qin Yichen and left behind a threatening remark. Before leaving, his gaze lingered greedily over Gongshu Zhiyi’s body.

“What are you standing there for? Quickly apply medicine for me!”

The Young Master’s angry scolding continued to ring out as he was escorted away by the four guards. Qin Yichen paid him no attention, gave an apologetic smile to the Elder from North Dipper Auction House, then entered the VIP room.

After entering the VIP room, the clamorous sounds from outside were shut out as the wooden door closed. Gongshu Zhiyi squinted her small eyes with a completely satisfied expression on her face.

It seemed she was completely unconcerned about what had just happened.

“A VIP room worth a hundred gold coins – how could it not be good?” Qin Yichen sighed inwardly, still aching over those hundred gold coins. Only when he thought of the Shooting Star Spirit Crystals did the dissatisfaction in his heart finally subside.

After taking their seats, Gongshu Zhiyi began observing around the VIP room like a spirited sparrow, constantly chattering about the various inadequacies of the place.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiaoguan, after this period of interaction, had been completely won over by Qin Yichen and Gongshu Zhiyi. Now, whatever Gongshu Zhiyi said, he would enthusiastically agree with.

During their conversation, Qin Yichen also observed through the VIP room’s window several groups of apparently extraordinary Forces arriving at the auction house. These people clearly held high positions, as they all went directly into the VIP rooms at the very front of the auction venue.

Obviously, under North Dipper Auction House’s deliberate promotion, this auction had attracted quite a few heavyweights.

At a certain moment, Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly. The Young Master who had earlier conflicted with them was following behind a middle-aged man dressed in purple brocade robes who appeared distinguished, entering one of the foremost VIP rooms!

Originally, Qin Yichen had not cared at all about that Young Master. Privileged children could be found everywhere, especially in Heavenly Dragon Imperial City. However, what made Qin Yichen somewhat grave was that the foolish privileged child he had casually taught a lesson apparently had such a background behind him!

On the middle-aged man’s purple brocade robe was a special insignia that looked like an ancient copper coin. That insignia was known by everyone in Heavenly Dragon Imperial City.

It represented the Qian Family!

The Qian Family was a First-Tier Forces within the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty!

The Qian Family had deep roots in the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty, their gold trading business in Heavenly Dragon Imperial City could even compete with the Feng Family’s World Aplenty Hall.

To be able to compete with the Feng Family showed just how deep the Qian Family’s foundation was. Of course, this did not mean the Qian Family could be compared with the Feng Family.

The Feng Family was in Six Grand Imperial Dynasties across the continent, while the Qian Family could only compare with one World Aplenty Hall branch of the Feng Family.

As if sensing Qin Yichen’s gaze, before stepping into the VIP room, the Young Master suddenly turned around and directed his gaze towards where Qin Yichen was located.

That gaze was filled with venomous hatred!

Seeing that expression, Qin Yichen’s face darkened somewhat, his brow furrowing lightly.

He had just arrived in Heavenly Dragon Imperial City and had not yet befriended any Forces, yet had already made an enemy of the Qian Family. His days in Heavenly Dragon Imperial City would likely not be easy!

As time passed, the atmosphere in the auction venue gradually reached its peak. Finally, accompanied by an ancient and heavy bell toll, a beam of light illuminated the main platform of the auction venue.

Countless gazes followed the light beam’s direction.

Within that light beam appeared the Elder who had earlier prevented the conflict between Qin Yichen and the Qian Family’s Young Master. His hair was white, and his face bore a smile that made people feel refreshed like a spring breeze upon seeing it.

This demeanour clearly belonged to someone long experienced with such occasions!

“This auction is actually being personally hosted by Manager Bai! It seems North Dipper Auction House takes this auction quite seriously!”

“Indeed, Old Bai was once North Dipper Auction House’s Chief Auctioneer. He could determine any treasure’s authenticity and quality with just one glance. But ever since he was promoted to Manager, he never hosted auctions again. Who would have thought he’d come out of retirement at this time! It seems we came at the right time!”

“…”

Seeing the auction begin, Qin Yichen also opened the VIP room window slightly. As soon as he opened it, whispered conversations reached his ears.

Hearing these whispers, surprise flashed in Qin Yichen’s eyes. He glanced at the white-haired Elder, not expecting that the latter was not only a Peak Martial King, but also had such great fame in the auction world.

No wonder even the Qian Family’s Young Master had to give him some face!

Amidst the whispered conversations throughout the venue, the auction house’s Manager Bai surveyed his surroundings, his gaze pausing momentarily on the foremost pavilions, then cupped his fists, saying. “Thank you all for coming to support today’s auction. Now, this auction officially begins!”

As his words fell, Manager Bai flipped his palm, and a wooden box shot from backstage, which he caught in his hand.

*Clang!* Then, accompanied by an intoxicating sword cry, he drew a long sword from the wooden box.

This long sword had no scabbard, and its blade was covered with numerous cracks, appearing very ordinary, or rather, one could say it looked shabby.

“Good sword!”

However, upon seeing this long sword, Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze could see clearly that what appeared on the sword’s body were not cracks at all, but rather mystical patterns!

“Edgeless Long Sword – I believe you all know of it, so I won’t introduce it further!” the white-haired Elder said with a smile.

“Starting bid: ten thousand gold coins!”

As his words fell, they immediately caused an uproar throughout the venue.

“Edgeless Long Sword! The Lone Wandering Swordsman’s Edgeless Long Sword has actually appeared at North Dipper Auction House!”

“Heavens, it’s been five or six years since there was any news of the Lone Wandering Swordsman. I originally thought this fine sword had disappeared with him, but it actually appeared here!”

“It’s said that the Edgeless Long Sword once cleaved through the defences of experts who surpassed the Martial King Realm!”

“…”

Swords naturally attracted people’s attention, and a renowned sword as fine as this naturally made countless people’s eyes surge with excitement.

A weapon that had once severely wounded experts beyond the Martial King Realm. Its reputation alone was worth more than ten thousand gold coins!
