Chapter 77

One was brought by Xi Zhilan herself, and the other two were just received from Xu Deng.

As Xi Zhilan took out each item, Zhang Ren couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, which made Xi Zhilan feel very satisfied. Then, she would tell him who had placed the bets, and it was impressive that she could remember everything so clearly in such a chaotic scene with so many experts.

Zhang Ren kept sighing, "Wow, I really came too late!"

Qin Yu found the two of them so engrossed in the treasures that he found it amusing and endearing. He glanced at them a couple of times and then turned away.

After several rounds of adjustments, the number of people remaining on Laojun Mountain was now very sparse.

Especially after Xu Deng left, most of the strong people he had invited had also gone.

Qin Yu scanned the area and saw that apart from the three of them, only two people were left: Shi Huang and Huang Zhong.

Liu Pan probably took advantage of the chaos to go down the mountain and return to Jiangling to mobilize troops.

Qin Yu found it strange that these two were sitting on their wooden beds, smiling and chatting happily, as if they were old friends!

"Boss Shi, Boss Huang, what are you talking about?"

Both of them were taken aback for a moment. Boss?

"What's a boss?" Huang Zhong shook his white head and asked Shi Huang.

Shi Huang rolled his red eyes, "You ask me, who should I ask? Ignore this kid, he just likes to act recklessly."

"Boss, it's someone with excellent character and profound skills! Both are necessary. People like Lai De and Zhang Jin don't deserve to be called my boss," Qin Yu said with a smile, refusing to admit that he was just following Yun Er's lead. "Bosses, you two saved my life just now. I will remember this and repay you in the future."

The situation was so critical just now, and they didn't know which side Zhang Jin and Zhao Song were on, yet they chose to act decisively, refusing to be humiliated. This kind of courage and purity is something many people, like Zhang Jin, can never achieve even after a lifetime of cultivation.

Objectively, they did save Qin Yu's life.

As for Shi Huang's whip and Lai De's palm pulling Qin Yu back, there was no need to mention it. Qin Yu had already repaid Shi Huang's kindness with a clear determination to fight to the death.

Shi Huang teased, "How do you plan to repay us?"

Huang Zhong also smiled.

Since the battle with Lai De, these two seemed to have developed a strong sense of默契 (mòqì,默契 means默契, which can be translated as 'rapport' or 'harmony' in this context). Every move they made felt very harmonious.

"Bosses, may I ask if you brought enough treasures and rarities for the auction?" Qin Yu walked over slowly, a tempting smile on his face.

Shi Huang and Huang Zhong glanced at each other and shook their heads.

Shi Huang had been ambushed by the Wuling savages recently because he felt his resources were insufficient and he hoped to obtain more powerful treasures. Huang Zhong didn't even have the qualifications to bet with Wang Yue, which could be said to be extremely poor.

"If the two bosses need it, I have a method," Qin Yu said with a smile.

"Your Mingyu Token can only be used by you, right?" Shi Huang said, looking at Huang Zhong inquiringly.

Huang Zhong nodded, "Yes, any level of treasure token from the Merchant Family can only be used by the token owner. This has always been the case."

Although Xu Deng's action of giving the Mingyu Token to Qin Yu was quite secretive, it didn't escape the eyes of these two.

"No, no, I'm not talking about the Mingyu Token," Qin Yu smiled. "I mean, we should rob the road!"

"Rob the road, rob what road?" Huang Zhong asked.

"Have you, Han Sheng, participated in previous auctions?" Shi Huang picked up on the hidden meaning in Huang Zhong's words.

"Ten years ago, at the last Qishan Conference, I was fortunate enough to participate and exchanged for this Bixue Treasure Sword. It was said to be the sword of Emperor Guangwu, later given to some minister, passed down for several generations, and finally sold by an ungrateful descendant. The Merchant Family bought it and auctioned it publicly, and I bought it," Huang Zhong patted the sword at his waist proudly.

"Indeed, not bad!" Shi Huang praised. Huang Zhong was delighted.

Qin Yu looked at Shi Huang, this off-topic old ancestor!

"Did you go bankrupt because of this?" Qin Yu asked calmly.

Huang Zhong's expression turned somber.

"My master almost turned his back on me, forcing me to hide in Jiangling. What do you think?"

"Ha ha! Ha ha!" Shi Huang couldn't help but clap and laugh. Huang Zhong also laughed heartily.

Qin Yu didn't expect Huang Zhong to be so straightforward and humorous. He smiled slightly.

"Boss, you are truly a man of great spirit! However, I'm not talking about the Mingyu Token, but rather dozens of precious treasures worth tens of thousands of gold."

"What?" Shi Huang and Huang Zhong were both stunned.

Saying something is worth tens of thousands of gold is easy, but if you think about it, the concept of ten thousand pounds of gold is truly daunting. To reach such a value is extremely difficult!

Zhang Xun, who once managed the finances of a sect, had only managed to save three hundred gold after many years.

Let alone tens of thousands of gold, even just a thousand gold would likely be enough to invite two or three peak Dark Realm experts like Huang Zhong and Shi Huang.

"Do you two have any interest now?" Seeing the expressions of the two elders, Qin Yu smiled, knowing that this deal was likely to be discussed.

"Is this what you mean by robbing the road? I'm very interested!" Huang Zhong was straightforward. "But don't tell me to intercept the Merchant Family's auction, that place is guarded by Transformation Realm masters and countless crossbows. We three going there would be suicide."

"Heh heh, of course not. When we travel, we prioritize righteousness and won't sabotage our friends," Qin Yu's eyes sparkled with allure. "There is a deal where the goods are extremely valuable and belong to a notorious traitor. If we can get them, everyone will applaud and praise us as righteous men."

Shi Huang, impatient, said, "Stop beating around the bush. Just say it. I need a treasure of extraordinary value this time, which is very hard to obtain and requires a large amount of precious items to exchange."

Qin Yu said, "I heard from Master Wang that Emperor Yuan Shu of the Zhong family has a batch of rare treasures that will also participate in this auction, and they will be transported here before tonight..."

"Yuan Shu's treasures?" Upon hearing this, Shi Huang and Huang Zhong immediately stood up from their wooden beds. "If there's such a good opportunity, let's go and do it. Why are we still standing here talking nonsense?!"

Qin Yu was embarrassed, thinking he would need to persuade them, but it turned out the elders were much more proactive than he was!

Qin Yu thought, "We haven't even gone yet, and you're already talking about dividing the loot?"

"This time, we have five of us, plus Old Wang, making six in total. We don't know the specific details of the other side yet, so we need to investigate. Xiao Lan and my junior brother will be responsible for this."

The third update will likely be after 12 PM. Don't wait for it.
