Berserk God of War

Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Yue Xi, So You’re a Rich Woman

Sikong Jing was stunned and asked, ”So now, you are publicly revealing your identity, right?”

Yisuo chuckled and said, ”Yes, thanks to Junior Brother Sikong, I’ve met my father’s requirement, Xuantian Third Realm.”

Ning Jingjing and Elder Wei next to him were puzzled, why was it thanks to Sikong Jing that he reached the Xuantian Third Realm?

Before they could react, the auctioneer down below suddenly spoke up, ”The next item for auction, Bone Beast Blood.”

Inside VIP Room number 10, everyone shook with excitement, Sikong Jing’s target item had appeared.

Then the auction began...

Sikong Jing didn’t even need to bid, as Yisuo took care of it, boosting the price to ninety thousand Ming King Crystals. Just when everyone thought it would stop, it soared again, ending with a final transaction price of one hundred and twenty thousand.

Of course, Yisuo was the one who made the final bid, without any obstacles.

Sikong Jing’s eyes shone brightly, and he took a deep breath, ”The extra twenty thousand Ming King Crystals, Senior Brother Lang, I will return them to you.”

”This...”

Seeing Yisuo wanted to say something else, Sikong Jing shook his head firmly and interrupted, ”A gift is a gift, a loan is a loan... the agreed upon hundred thousand is the limit, I will bear the rest myself, that’s my principle.”

The deal to challenge the seven trails was for one hundred thousand Ming King Crystals, now with an extra twenty thousand, Sikong Jing couldn’t take it for free.

Others being wealthy was their own affair, but Sikong Jing had his own principles in doing things.

Especially after hearing that Yisuo’s situation in the Treasure Pavilion was not as good as imagined, he certainly couldn’t accept it without compensation.

In the end, Yisuo had no choice but to agree.

Not long after, an auctioneer from the Treasure Pavilion came to confirm the transaction.

Yisuo handed over a crystal card and said, ”This is my Treasure Pavilion crystal card, take it and collect one hundred and twenty thousand Ming King Crystals.”

He had said before that he was going home to get the Ming King Crystals, but in fact, he went back to the Treasure Pavilion to ask the Left Pavilion Master to credit his crystal card with over a hundred thousand Ming King Crystals. Naturally, there were enough inside it now.

Upon hearing this, the auctioneer nodded and immediately left with the crystal card.

But just a moment later, the auctioneer returned.

”I apologize, but your Treasure Pavilion crystal card has been frozen, and the Ming King Crystals inside cannot be withdrawn.”

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Yisuo stood up abruptly and asked incredulously, ”Why?”

”The Left Pavilion Master said that it was Third Young Master Lang’s command,” the auctioneer softly replied.

Yisuo’s eyes widened and after a few breaths, he roared, ”Lang Yizhan has actually arrived, what right does he have to interfere with my affairs?”

To this, the auctioneer just shrugged, ”Second Young Master Lang, you’re putting me in a difficult position. How would I know?”

”However, the auction for Bone Beast Blood has concluded.”

”Third Young Master Lang also said if your friends can’t produce one hundred and twenty thousand Ming King Crystals to confirm the transaction, then they are violating Treasure Pavilion’s rules and showing disdain for us at the Treasure Pavilion.”

”All of your friends here will face the Treasure Pavilion’s most severe punishment.”

”Third Young Master Lang wants to remind your friends that they must complete the transaction by the end of the auction, without a single Light Crystal missing.”

After speaking, the auctioneer gave Sikong Jing and others a cold sneer and then left VIP Room number 10.

Following this, Yisuo’s breathing became hurried as he turned to Sikong Jing and said, ”Brother Sikong, don’t worry, I will go find my younger brother, Lang Yizhan, right now. He won’t be allowed to mistreat you guys.”

After saying this, Yisuo was about to rush out, but just then, Sikong Jing stopped him.

”Senior Brother Lang, I’m afraid it would be useless even if you went. We should think of other solutions instead,” Sikong Jing said.

Sikong Jing clearly saw through all the circumstances.

Lang Yizhan was obviously not willing to let Yisuo off easy, and running over in a hurry would only be humiliating himself.

And with Yisuo’s personality, how could he possibly outwit his younger brother?

With his face turning crimson, Yisuo opened and closed his mouth before stammering, ”But there’s no other way, is there? The rules of the Treasure Pavilion have always been strict—if you brothers can’t come up with the money, people will die.”

”And by the looks of it, Lang Yizhan is deliberately trying to put you to death because you are my friends.”

”It’s all my fault, it’s all because of me...”

Yisuo’s heart was in complete disarray; he had no idea what to do.

However much he changed, he wouldn’t mature so quickly. If his friends died because of him, he’d feel guilty for a lifetime.

”Senior Brother Lang, stay calm and don’t be hasty,” Sikong Jing called out firmly, a lot more composed than Yisuo.

But Sikong Jing’s brows were also deeply furrowed.

Gathering one hundred and twenty thousand Ming King Crystals was proving to be too difficult, and even he was worried.

The only option he could think of was to sell off the 6.4 million points from the Holy Dragon Palace.

But with the tight deadline, unless someone at the auction was interested, there wouldn’t even be enough time to travel back and forth from the Holy Dragon Palace, and selling the 6.4 million points for one hundred and twenty thousand Ming King Crystals was almost impossible.

The only way was to cobble together five High-level Hong-grade Beast Skills and six Black Refining Dark Hook Claws...

Only by pooling all these items together could it be possible to reach the value of one hundred and twenty thousand Ming King Crystals.

But how to sell them?

The Imperial City’s Treasure Pavilion was clearly under Lang Yizhan’s control—would the Treasure Pavilion accept these items?

Cold light flashed in Sikong Jing’s eyes as he pondered calmly.

And it was at this moment that Su Yuexi, who had come out to have fun with Sikong Jing, suddenly asked, ”Brother Jing, what do Ming King Crystals look like?”

Upon hearing this, Elder Wei’s brow furrowed.

Sikong Jing’s wife seemed to be out of touch—was she really asking such a question at a time like this?

The next instant, a green light flashed in Su Yuexi’s hand.

A crystal appeared, and she blinked before asking, ”Brother Jing, is this thing a Ming King Crystal?”

Everyone’s gaze was drawn to the stunning crystal.

In Su Yuexi’s hand, the crystal was flawless and spherical, not cubic.

The crystal was not large; it resembled a bright gem in Su Yuexi’s hand.

After a moment, Yisuo said falteringly, ”This isn’t a Ming King Crystal; it’s a higher-grade Light Core Crystal.”

Hearing this, Su Yuexi blinked again and gently asked, ”A higher grade? How much is it worth in Ming King Crystals?”

Once she finished speaking, more green light flashed from her hand, and a large pile of Light Core Crystals rolled out onto the table in front of her—there were about a thousand of them in a dazzling array. Su Yuexi then asked anxiously, ”I only have these, is it enough?”

Suddenly, Ning Jingjing and Elder Wei’s eyes widened in shock as they turned to look at each other.

Yisuo’s mouth gaped open, and he couldn’t help but reply, ”Of course it’s enough. According to the market price in the Long Night Empire, one Light Core Crystal is worth around twelve hundred Ming King Crystals. You only need a hundred of them to more than cover the amount.”

After saying this, Yisuo looked at Sikong Jing with a resentful face and said, ”Junior Brother Sikong, you’re really not being fair. You knew all along your wife was so wealthy, and yet you came to borrow from me—I just... I was so frustrated just now.”

At this moment, Sikong Jing was also utterly speechless.

Looking at the innocent-faced Su Yuexi, it all felt so absurd.

He had been scrambling for money, and yet his darling wife had been hiding so much wealth—she was a super-rich lady.

All of a sudden, he seemed to have become a kept man?
