The shop manager gave a knowing look that left Ye Yun speechless. He simply glared at the man and said,
"If you keep spouting nonsense here, believe it or not, I'll slice you up?"
After all, his disciples were still present. It wouldn't be good if they were led astray by him.
Little did they know, when it came to learning bad habits, each of them possessed exceptional talent, capable of mastering them without any instruction…
However, Ye Yun's words proved very effective on the shop manager. He immediately let out a dry cough and said,
"Ahem, esteemed immortal, do you have any further instructions?"
"That's all."
Ye Yun had no intention of staying any longer and prepared to leave.
The shop manager quickly bowed him out. But before Ye Yun could even exit the room, a figure pushed the door open and entered.
A round figure came in through the door and immediately shouted at the shop manager,
"Hey, do you still have an invitation to the auction here? Hurry and bring it over, we have important guests!"
Upon seeing this person, the shop manager quickly stepped forward and said with some difficulty,
"Sir, I am truly sorry, but that invitation letter was just sold."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Yun, who hadn't left yet.
"It was this esteemed immortal…"
Hearing this, the胖子 (pàng zi) looked towards Ye Yun and then smiled as he approached, saying,
"Esteemed guest, would you be willing to part with that invitation letter? We are willing to compensate you at triple the price."
Ye Yun, who was about to leave, glanced at him and said indifferently,
"On what grounds? Once something is in this seat's possession, there's no concept of taking it back."
To him, the so-called Xuanjing was merely a number. The crucial thing was whether he could obtain rare heavenly treasures.
After speaking, he waved his hand at the women beside him.
"Alright, let's go."
"Mhm, mhm, mhm!"
The women nodded repeatedly and followed Ye Yun out.
Even Fang Zhiwei, who was rather mischievous, stuck out her tongue at the胖子 as she passed by.
This scene made the胖子 a little embarrassed. He could only chase after them and say,
"Esteemed immortal, I am truly sorry. We genuinely cannot produce an invitation letter, and it will be difficult to explain to that important guest."
"If you feel that triple compensation isn't enough, how about four times, or five times?"
It was obvious that this胖子 was extremely wary of the "important guest" he mentioned.
Unfortunately, Ye Yun was not swayed by this at all.
"Regardless of anything else, the transaction is complete. How you explain it is your business, not this seat's."
Ye Yun looked up at him, and the sharp aura emanating from him made the fat on the胖子's face tremble.
"You keep saying you have to explain to them, and then you think this seat is easy to bully?"
"Dare not, dare not…"
Sensing the killing intent from Ye Yun, the胖子 didn't dare to say anything more.
Ye Yun snorted and was about to leave the place when he found the door blocked.
A young girl in a blue dress strode in from outside, ignoring everyone, and directly shouted at the胖子,
"You fellow, where's the invitation letter you promised? Are you lying to me?"
The girl's voice was full of impatience, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
Ye Yun glanced at the girl as he heard her voice. Her cultivation wasn't particularly high, only at the Saint realm, which was common in the Heavenly Domain.
She was rather petite, with a light blue ponytail. She wore an elegant dress, and her white silk stockings beneath the hem of the skirt were faintly visible. Her heeled short boots clattered on the ground.
Coupled with some exquisite accessories, she was likely someone of considerable standing.
Of course, the reason Ye Yun thought this was because he saw the four guards following her, all of whom were at the Celestial Immortal realm.
At this moment, the胖子, sweating profusely, came to the side of the blue-dressed girl and said with a fawning smile,
"Miss Jiang, I am truly sorry. The last invitation letter was just purchased by this esteemed immortal."
Upon hearing this, the blue-dressed girl looked towards Ye Yun, and also noticed Lin Xueyan and the other young women beside him.
However, Ye Yun couldn't be bothered with her. He glanced at her and said indifferently,
"Miss, you're blocking the way."
The private room wasn't very large to begin with, and the doorway could only accommodate two people side-by-side at most.
But now, with the blue-dressed girl, there were five people crowded in, completely blocking the entrance.
To Ye Yun's well-meaning reminder, the blue-dressed girl snorted and said,
"This young lady is Jiang Ruyue, the Saintess of the Red Moon Immortal Sect in this Snow Phoenix Heavenly Continent."
"I won't waste your time. Let's get straight to the point. How much did you pay for that invitation letter? This young lady will buy it from you for ten times the amount of Xuanjing."
Clearly, she was even more wealthy and arrogant than the previous胖子, offering ten times the price right from the start.
Ye Yun, upon hearing her proclaimed background, paused for a moment to ponder.
The Red Moon Immortal Sect ranked at the bottom among the eight great sects of the Heavenly Domain. Their strongest was a quasi-emperor, far inferior to the Star-Gazing Immortal Sect.
However, even so, it was still considered a super-force in the Heavenly Domain, with immense hidden power. No wonder the people from the merchant guild were so respectful towards her.
Unfortunately, while this might work on others, it held no significance for Ye Yun.
He frowned and said in a deep voice, "I apologize, but this seat has no intention of transferring the invitation letter."
"I'll pay twenty times!"
"Even if you offered thirty times, I wouldn't sell it to you."
"Then fifty times!"
"..."
Ye Yun's eyebrows twitched.
"Young lady, you're quite wealthy?"
"Of course!"
Jiang Ruyue said proudly, raising her head with a smug expression.
"There's nothing this young lady lacks, except for Xuanjing!"
In Jiang Ruyue's opinion, there was nothing in the world that Xuanjing couldn't buy. If there was, it was simply because there wasn't enough Xuanjing.
As for the man in front of her, she believed he would be no exception.
However, imagination was beautiful, but reality was cruel. While Xuanjing might be precious to others, to Ye Yun, it was merely a number.
He looked at Jiang Ruyue and said calmly, "There's no need to bid further. Even if you brought hundreds or thousands of Xuanjing, it would be useless."
"You!"
Seeing that her tactic of using Xuanjing was ineffective, Jiang Ruyue glared at him.
"You pervert! You're so ungrateful! Do you know who my master is!"
To her threat, Ye Yun momentarily felt like saying, "Then do you know who my wife is?"
Of course, he would never engage in such childish behavior with Jiang Ruyue.
"This seat doesn't care who your master is. I'll say it again, move aside!"
Ye Yun's gaze was sharp as he glared at her. The killing intent in that instant made her delicate body tremble, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"You… you pervert… how dare you make a move on this young lady?"
Ye Yun couldn't help but frown.
"Pervert? Are you referring to this seat?"
"Who else?"
This time, Jiang Ruyue hid behind one of her guards, poked her head out, and glared at him.
"Surrounding yourself with so many girls, according to my master, you're a shameless pervert!"
