Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1256: Chapter 822: Auction House

“Ah, I know that Yang is kind-hearted, so I can only thicken my skin to beg Yang to take care of my grandson in the future!”

“Of course, I won’t let Yang waste his time for nothing. The only thing our Yao family can offer is this Talisman Master’s inheritance. I hope Yang can accept it!”

Yao Fu looked at Yang Zhenshan with a pleading face, as if Yang Zhenshan only had to accept the jade scroll in his hand to take care of his grandson.

In fact, Yao Fu is not a fool. As the saying goes, the older you get, the craftier you become. He has lived for more than a hundred years, so how could he not know the dangers of human nature?

Although he has deliberately made friends with many people during this period, there were only three people he was really willing to share his family’s Talisman Master’s inheritance with, and Yang Zhenshan was honored to be one of them.

The reason he thought so highly of Yang Zhenshan was that through his interactions during this time, he found that Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi were not as greedy as others.

Those people were eyeing his family’s Talisman Master’s inheritance, although their inheritance only consisted of several first-order talismans, it was already a rare cultivation inheritance for loose cultivators.

Yang Zhenshan looked at Yao Fu, who had a pleading face, and felt a bit of reluctance in his heart. He could understand Yao Fu’s thoughts, but unfortunately, he couldn’t help Yao Fu take care of Yao Cheng.

He sighed slightly and said, “Senior Yao may not know, I don’t intend to settle in Lotus Heart Valley. I will leave after staying for a few months.”

He would feel reluctant, but he wouldn’t play the role of a meddlesome do-gooder.

Yao Fu’s Talisman Master’s inheritance meant nothing to him, and he had no time to look after an unfamiliar junior.

Besides, he had a whole family behind him; how could he have the energy to take care of someone else’s grandchildren?

“This~~” Yao Fu didn’t expect Yang Zhenshan to refuse so bluntly, but because of Yang Zhenshan’s straightforwardness, he actually wanted Yang Zhenshan even more to help take care of his grandson.

“Yang, since that’s the case, I won’t insist. However, I still wish to give this Talisman Master’s inheritance to you as a goodwill gesture on behalf of my grandson,” Yao Fu said.

Yang Zhenshan glanced at Yao Cheng beside him and, with things said to this extent, felt that refusing again would be somewhat unkind.

“So be it, as long as Senior Yao doesn’t think I’m taking advantage of him!” Yang Zhenshan said.

“Hehe, it’s just an insignificant Talisman Master’s inheritance, not something of great value!” Yao Fu, seeing his agreement, immediately showed a warm smile.

He handed the jade scroll to Yang Zhenshan and then proposed to take his leave.

Yang Zhenshan walked them out of the cave and couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental as he watched their departing figures.

Life is not easy!

Ordinary people are busy all day long for their daily needs, martial artists struggle for cultivation resources, immortal cultivators spend their entire lives pursuing the unreachable Immortal Path.

In the end, everyone is the same.

…

Yao Fu’s matter was just a small episode for Yang Zhenshan and did not have any impact on him.

As for the talisman inheritance given by Yao Fu, it was somewhat useful. The Golden Light Talisman and Godspeed Talisman were not part of the Talisman Master’s inheritance from Spirit Source Land.

Although these two talismans were only first-order talismans, they added a foundation to the talisman inheritance of Spirit Source Land.

Therefore, Yang Zhenshan still remembered this favor, and whether there would be a chance to repay it would depend on whether he would have the opportunity to meet Yao Cheng again in the future.

Anyway, he did not agree to take care of Yao Cheng, but just followed Yao Fu’s words to form a goodwill bond with Yao Cheng.

Time flows like water, and in the blink of an eye, it was the date of the White Cloud Commerce’s auction.

On this day, Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi arrived at Feather Tower again.

“Sir, the invitation you hold is for a box; please follow me!”

A graceful maid led Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi to a box on the second floor.

Though they came to Feather Tower this time, it wasn’t to the shop but to a hall behind the shop.

This hall was somewhat like a banquet hall, the first floor was very spacious, with more than twenty tea tables, and an auction platform facing south. The second floor had twenty boxes, from which one could overlook the entire first floor.

“There is a Concealment Restriction in the box. Even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator couldn’t see through it. If you do not wish to reveal your identity, you can activate the Concealment Restriction! Our commerce will keep your identity confidential!”

“If you need service, you can ring the bell, and we will immediately arrange someone to assist you!”

“Additionally, if you need to pawn any items, you can also call us; our White Cloud Commerce also deals in pawning business!”

The maid introduced the facilities in the box and the rules of the auction to Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi after leading them to the box.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly to indicate he understood, and the maid bowed and left the box.

“Why do they also offer pawning services?” Yu Qingyi asked, somewhat puzzled.

Yang Zhenshan activated the Concealment Restriction and replied with a smile, “They’re afraid we don’t have enough Spirit Stones.”

Yu Qingyi suddenly understood, “They really do know how to conduct business!”

“Hehe, they are professionals!” Yang Zhenshan chuckled and took out the auction catalog to browse.

The White Cloud Commerce auction was divided into two parts: the open auction and the silent auction.

Generally speaking, the White Cloud Commerce prepared three to five culminating auction items for each auction, which were reserved for the last segment and conducted as a silent auction.
