Ye Chen showed a wry smile, "I just thought of helping her improve her cultivation at this time. I wonder if she will feel that she has been ignored by me in the past?"
After muttering to himself, he simply sat cross-legged on the bed and quickly entered a meditative state.
He originally wanted to try practicing, but just as he entered samadhi, the sound of conversation faintly reached his ears.
"There are too many dignitaries who came to bid for the Blue Blood Lotus Seeds this time. If we bid head-on, we will definitely not be able to compete with our financial resources!"
"Then we can only think of another way!"
"Is there any possible solution?"
“If you can’t compete in a fair auction, you have no choice but to go to extremes!”
"How to go to extremes?"
"Look for opportunities to rob, or steal when they are not prepared!"
"That's a good idea!"
"Then let's check around and see if we can sneak in and steal the Blue Blood Lotus!"
The two voices talking sounded a bit thick, and they should be two middle-aged men.
After testing his senses again and taking a closer look, Ye Chen was even more sure.
Those two people were only a hundred meters away from him. They were in a wing at the moment. They must have been guests invited by Qianqiu Pavilion.
The auras of both of them are not weak, and their cultivation should have reached the emperor level.
"People's hearts are evil!"
Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Qianqiu Pavilion kindly invited these people to be guests, but these people, instead of showing any gratitude, were plotting to steal or rob the Blue Blood Lotus.
If the people in Qianqiu Pavilion heard this, they would definitely be extremely disappointed and angry.
However, he had no intention of snitching.
After all, it's none of your business.
All he cares about is whether he can get a lotus seed from the Blue Blood Lotus.
"I don't know how many people Qianqiu Pavilion has invited. Are there any powerful people lurking around who are better than me?"
Out of curiosity, Ye Chen continued to use his senses and scanned the surrounding area.
Under this scan, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Within a few hundred meters, there are foreign guests living.
At this moment, there are actually several groups of people who are plotting to steal or rob the Blue Blood Lotus.
This result simply made Ye Chen seriously doubt the morality of people in this world.
There are a few white-eyed wolves who can be forgiven, but so many people are only interested in profit and completely ignore the constraints of benevolence, justice and morality. This is simply a terrible disaster.
"No wonder this world respects the strong. It seems that the truth is only when the fist is hard enough!"
The more he listened, the stronger Ye Chen's desire to improve his own cultivation became.
…
The next day.
"Dong dong dong!"
Just as Ye Chen got up to wash up, there was a knock on the door.
"Jin Lin, you practice well, I have already gone to fetch water myself!"
Before the person who knocked on the door spoke, Ye Chen subconsciously said.
result……
"Cough, cough...Brother Ye, I am Qiu Yijian!"
Qiu Yijian's laughing voice came from outside.
"Qiu Yijian?"
Ye Chen just missed falling to the ground.
It seems that I made a miscalculation this time!
"come in!"
Embarrassed as hell, Qiu Yijian was already standing at the door, and there was no way he could let him leave.
Furthermore, if nothing happens, Qiu Yijian should not be able to come to find him.
"Squeak!"
After the door opened, the familiar figure of Qiu Yijian appeared outside.
"Brother Qiu, what do you want from me?"
Ye Chen put down the towel and asked pretending to be serious.
But no matter how serious his expression was, Qiu Yijian always had a half-smiling look on his lips.
Although he wasn't very clear about the relationship between Ye Chen and Jin Lin, he could still see some clues after they had been together for so long.
Ye Chen may not have much thought about Golden Scales, and many times it can even be said that he ignores the existence of Golden Scales.
But Jin Lin only had Ye Chen in his eyes from beginning to end.
In many casual moments, Jin Lin's movements, eyes, and facial expressions all vividly show Ye Chen's admiration.
However, Ye Chen always turned a blind eye.
Every time he saw Jin Lin being ignored and showing disappointment, he secretly felt sad for Jin Lin.
It is clear that the man he admires is very close at hand, but he can only hide it silently in his heart.
This kind of humble love must have made Jin Lin suffer a lot.
"Hey, why are you smiling so obscenely?
what's so funny?"
Seeing the expression on Qiu Yijian's face that looked like a smile but not a smile, Ye Chen felt a burst of anger rising for no reason.
Qiu Yijian suddenly came to his senses and waved his hand hurriedly, "Don't be excited, I came to see you, I just want to tell you something!"
"Then tell me!"
Ye Chen urged impatiently.
Qiu Yijian did not speak immediately, but walked in, then pointed to his ears and then around.
Ye Chen understood it and immediately stretched out his hand.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The spiritual power came out of the palm and soon formed a curtain of light, covering them inside.
Since then, all sounds from the outside world have finally been cut off.
This is a shield against eavesdropping. As long as it is activated, they can block outside sounds.
In the same way, people outside cannot hear anything going on inside.
Even if some powerful people with similar cultivation level detect their perception, they will be isolated.
"Can we talk now?"
After setting up the screen, Ye Chen urged again.
"Have you noticed that a storm is quietly brewing in Qianqiu Pavilion?"
"Did you hear that too?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows.
Last night, after he tested his senses, he heard many people conspiring.
In fact, even if Qiu Yijian didn't come to him, he was still planning to tell him about it.
"The next auction will probably be very difficult!"
Qiu Yijian smiled bitterly and said: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have agreed to Qianqiu Pavilion to host this auction!"
"The Green Blood Lotus is a rare treasure. Since it is going to be auctioned publicly and is coveted by many people, you should have expected it, right?"
Ye Chen shrugged.
"It's indeed what I expected, but..."
Qiu Yijian shook his head, put his finger between his brows, and said worriedly: "I'm still afraid of making mistakes. After all, I have invited dignitaries from all over the world this time. If there is a mistake, it will be a heavy blow to my treasure auction house!"
"What...what do you want to express?"
Ye Chen tentatively said.
Qiu Yijian's search for him should be more than just a simple complaint.
really……
"Brother Ye is wise!"
Qiu Yijian smiled coquettishly and said: "I came to you, just to ask you to help me calm down the situation!"
"Township?"
Ye Chen rolled his eyes, "Brother Qiu, do you think too highly of me?"
There are so many powerful people in the Central Territory, and Qianqiu Pavilion is one of the super powers in the Central Territory. Is there any need for an outsider like him to control the situation?
"Brother Ye, stop being so modest!"
Qiu Yijian said with a faint smile: "Don't I still know your strength?
Anyway, with you here, my life safety should be guaranteed!"
"You have so much confidence in me?"
Ye Chen became even more depressed.
However, when he heard Qiu Yijian's next words, he finally understood.
"Brother Ye, you seem to have forgotten that I am the shopkeeper of Jubao Auction House!"
Qiu Yijian pointed out: "Anywhere where there is a branch of Jubao Auction House, the latest local news will reach my ears immediately, including the Abyss of Sin!"
