Chapter 724: Their Young Master

”Really? Then do you know where they are?” Chu Liuxiang asked.

”Not exactly. I know theyʼre nearby, but I donʼt know where they are. Hold on, let me ask them.”

”Feng Feng? Xiao Hua? Are you two also at the Flood Dragonʼs scale auction?” Yuan asked them through their connection.

”Y-Young Master? Are you also at the auction?” Feng Yuxiangʼs surprised voice resounded, almost as though she wasnʼt aware until he spoke to her.

”Yes, I decided to participate in the auction when I heard about it, but alas, I had no chance against these powerful families and sects. And before you tell me that I wasnʼt supposed to leave the hotel, I left a note behind before we left.” Yuan said.

”Donʼt worry, I am not mad at you for leaving.” Feng Yuxiang chuckled.

”Anyways, now that the auction has ended, letʼs meet up.”

”W-Wait a minute, Young Master. I still have a few treasures to sell, so we cannot meet up just yet. If you want, you can return to the hotel first…” Feng Yuxiang quickly made up an excuse so that she wouldnʼt expose herself for selling the Flood Dragonʼs scale.

”Is that so? Do you know how long it will take? If itʼs not too long, we can wait for you in our hotel at Bright Night City.” Yuan then said.

”It shouldnʼt take too long. We should be finished by the end of today or tomorrow.”

”I understand. Then weʼll wait for you at Bright Night City.” Yuan proceeded to give her the name of their hotel.

”Theyʼre almost finished selling the treasures, so weʼre going to wait for them in our hotel at Bright Night City.” Yuan explained the situation to Chu Liuxiang and Lan Yingying.

”Thank you all for coming to our action today! If you have any questions, you may visit the House of Riches located in Bright Night City at any time!” Gu Xiulan said to everyone there before leaving the stage.

Many people at the auction wanted to ask about the owner of the Flood Dragonʼs scale, but they figured that if this person wanted their identity to be known, Gu Xiulan wouldʼve already mentioned it.

The fact that they were not mentioned must either mean Gu Xiulan doesnʼt know, or the seller doesnʼt want their identity to be known. It was that simple.

After leaving the Royal Hall, Yuanʼs group returned to Bright Night City while Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua waited to collect their money.

As for Senior Nie, he went to a private room with Gu Xiulan, where he paid her the 20 million spirit stones for the Flood Dragonʼs scale.

”I know you probably donʼt want to tell me their identity, but I still wish to ask.” Senior Nie asked Gu Xiulan as he handed her the spirit stones.

Gu Xiulan shook her head with a bittersweet smile, ”Itʼs not that I donʼt want to tell you. I simply donʼt know their identity.”

”Thatʼs unfortunate.” Senior Nie said.

However, just as Gu Xiulan handed Senior Nie the Flood Dragonʼs scale, the door to the VIP room opened, and Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua casually walked inside the room.

”Y-You are…” Senior Nieʼs eyes widened with surprise when he saw Xiao Hua and recognized her.

”Hey, do you have the money yet? I donʼt like the feeling of making the Young Master wait. And the more I think about it, the more anxious I get.” Feng Yuxiang ignored Senior Nie and directly asked for the money.

Gu Xiulan was speechless. She thought they wanted to remain anonymous, so what are they doing here?

”You were in the Lower Heavens at the Mystic Realm! What are you doing here?” Senior Nie eventually snapped out of his shock and asked Xiao Hua.

”Thatʼs none of your business.” Xiao Hua nonchalantly responded.

”Uhh… Hereʼs the spirit stones for the other treasures you asked us to sell. The commission fee has already been deducted. As for the 20 million spirit stones, give me a moment to separate them.”

Gu Xiulan quickly subtracted 200,000 spirit stones from the 20 million as part of their 1 percent commission fee. After that, she handed the rest to Feng Yuxiang.

”19,861,000 spirit stones, huh? Not bad.” Feng Yuxiang said after a quick count using her divine sense.

She then retrieved another spatial ring that was empty before putting in 120,000 spirit stones from the 19 million.

Yuanʼs treasure had sold for a little over 60,000 spirit stones, but Feng Yuxiang decided to add a tiny percentage of her own earnings into it to help him.

Of course, this ʼtiny amountʼ was already enough to double his earnings, but Yuan wonʼt know that unless she tells him.

”Thanks for the work.” Feng Yuxiang said to Gu Xiulan as she turned around and began walking for the exit.

”P-Please wait a moment!” Gu Xiulan suddenly stopped them.

However, she didnʼt know exactly why she stopped them, and she did it mostly subconsciously.

”Is there something else?” Feng Yuxiang asked her.

”Uhhh… N-No. Sorry.” Gu Xiulan gave up trying to learn more about them.

In fact, Senior Nie appears to recognize one of them, so she could simply ask him later.

Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua left the scene shortly after.

”Theyʼre the owners of the Flood Dragonʼs scale…?  Unbelievable…” Senior Nie mumbled in a dazed voice after they left.

”You know them?” Gu Xiulan asked him.

”Well… I wouldnʼt say that I ʼknowʼ them, but I have met them before… In the Lower Heavens.” He said.

”What?! The Lower Heavens?!”

Senior Nie nodded, and he proceeded to recall their brief encounter at the Mystic Realm to Gu Xiulan.

”That little girl was a Spirit King?!” Gu Xiulanʼs jaw dropped after learning this information.

After a moment of silence, she asked, ”Wait. Did you also see their ʼYoung Masterʼ by any chance?”

”Young Master? Oh, you must mean that genius who conquered the Mystic Realm. If I recall correctly, his name was ʼYuanʼ.”

Gu Xiulanʼs eyes widened with shock when she heard this familiar name.

”Wait a second… Did you just say… Yuan?” She asked for confirmation.

”Yes. Do you know him?” Senior Nie nodded.
