Chapter 29: Who Do You Think You Are?
Buzz!
There was an imperceptible fierce pressure, like a sleeping giant beast opening its eyes, flashing across Xiao Yin's body!
It was not aimed at everyone, but hit Yu Tianheng precisely and hard!
"Well!"
Yu Tianheng groaned and his face turned pale instantly!
A fear originating from deep within the blood instantly swept through his whole body!
The momentum that had just been gathered instantly dissipated like a punctured balloon!
His body shook uncontrollably, and he took a half step back, looking at Xiao Yin with eyes full of disbelief and horror!
How is that possible?!
Just a momentary breath?!
Who is he?!
"Tianheng?"
Dugu Yan keenly noticed Yu Tianheng's abnormality and momentary loss of composure, and her green eyes narrowed instantly!
Among his peers, there are not many who can make Yu Tianheng feel humiliated with just a glance!
Moreover, the fierce aura that flashed across the other party made her feel a little apprehensive... Very interesting!
"This friend has such a strong aura."
Dugu Yan took a step forward, her voice filled with a lazy yet magnetic charm, her green eyes fixed on Xiao Yin.
"I don't know what to call you? Just now... there seems to be some misunderstanding?" She said misunderstanding, but her eyes were like a poisonous snake sizing its prey.
Just as Xiao Yin was about to speak, a girl's voice with a hint of uncertainty suddenly came from the side:
"Xiao... Brother Xiao Yin?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl in a simple moon-white dress standing a few steps away. It was Ye Lingling!
She had originally come to the auction house with her family elders to look at a batch of medicinal herbs. As soon as she walked to the first floor, she felt a familiar yet somewhat different atmosphere.
When she saw the tall figure surrounded by Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, although his temperament had matured a lot and his figure was taller and stronger, the outline of his face and those deep eyes...
She recognized it instantly!
"Lingling?" Xiao Yin was also a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet her here.
Ye Lingling walked over quickly, with obvious joy on her cold face. She first glanced at Yu Tianheng, who had a grim expression, and Dugu Yan, who had a playful look in her eyes, and then nodded to Xiao Yin.
"It's me, Brother Xiao Yin. You... have changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you." Her eyes were full of joy.
When Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan saw Ye Lingling, their expressions changed slightly!
Although Ye Lingling has a cold and low-key personality, her identity as the successor of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Spirit is known to everyone in the top circles of Heaven Dou City!
And I heard that the Academy is going to form a team for them soon, and Ye Lingling is the first choice for support!
She actually knew this guy? And called him brother?
Yu Tianheng barely suppressed the shock and humiliation in his heart, and nodded slightly to Ye Lingling as a greeting, but it was obviously a little unnatural.
Dugu Yan's eyes lit up, and her smile became even more enchanting:
"Hey, isn't this Sister Lingling? How come this... Brother Xiao Yin is your friend?" Her eyes swept back and forth between Xiao Yin and Ye Lingling, full of inquiry.
Ye Lingling ignored the teasing in Dugu Yan's words. She looked at Xiao Yin and asked softly, "Brother Xiao Yin, were you... going to buy whale glue?"
"Yeah." Xiao Yin nodded, "The older the better."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's cold face showed a hint of realization, and then she said, "As for whale glue... the auction house may not have top-quality stock.
However, I remember that there seem to be a few pieces of deep-sea magic whale glue of good age in the storeroom at home. If you need it, I will go back and tell my mother, and I should be able to give it to you."
A family collection? Good vintage? Deep Sea Magic Whale Glue?!
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan were shocked again!
The Ye family's collection?! That's definitely top-notch stuff!
What merit or ability did this kid have that Ye Lingling actually offered to use the family treasure?!
Xiao Yin was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that there would be light at the end of the tunnel. Ye Lingling actually had a clue.
Originally, he didn't intend to trouble the Ye family, but regarding his own cultivation, Xiao Yin still felt that it would be better to cause some trouble!
He was about to thank her when Dugu Yan gave a sweet laugh and interrupted him:
"Oh, Sister Lingling is really generous. But..." She looked at Xiao Yin with a hint of provocation, and opened her red lips slightly.
"My dear, I'm quite interested in you, too. As for whale glue, we might have something even better... would you consider talking to me about it?
Maybe I can help you more?"
Her voice held a unique charm, and she was very interested in this young man who looked younger than Yu Tianheng but had unfathomable strength.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng's expression became even uglier, but he did not dare to attack Dugu Yan.
Ye Lingling frowned slightly, and looked at Dugu Yan with a cold warning in her eyes.
Xiao Yin looked at the delicate situation in front of him - Yu Tianheng with a sullen face, the enchanting and charming Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling who coldly protected him.
The corners of his mouth curled up in a playful arc, and he smiled gently at Ye Lingling: "Thank you very much, Lingling."
Then, he ignored Dugu Yan's suggestive invitation and turned his gaze back to the beautiful teller who had just returned and was staring at the scene in front of her in amazement. He asked softly:
"How many copies are there in total?"
"Ah? Ah! Sir, we currently have five packs of whale glue over a thousand years old in our warehouse: three packs of a thousand years old, one pack of three thousand years old, and one pack of five thousand years old.
Do you need them all?" The beautiful teller's tone became obviously reserved.
"I want them all." Xiao Yin felt a little disappointed. Even for the largest trading company in Heaven Dou City, whale glue that was more than a thousand years old was so rare.
"Okay, sir. The total is one thousand gold soul coins... How would you like to pay?" The beautiful teller's voice was reserved and a little bit excited in disbelief.
This is a considerable commission!
However, before Xiao Yin could open his mouth, Yu Tianheng, who had been suppressing his humiliation and anger, seemed to have finally found an outlet for his venting. An undisguised mockery instantly appeared on his face:
"Oh! You want them all? You're really arrogant!" Yu Tianheng sneered, his voice deliberately raised, attracting the attention of some of the surrounding customers.
"One thousand gold soul coins? Boy, do you know what that means? Just you? Are you just trying to be rich and expect Lingling to pay for you?"
He pointed his finger at Xiao Yin's shabby clothes, intending to make up for the loss financially.
"Yu Tianheng!"
For the first time, a clear look of anger appeared on Ye Lingling's cold face. She said in a cold voice, "Brother Xiao Yin is my friend! It's not your turn to question his affairs!"
She stepped forward and said directly to the teller, "Put these five portions of whale glue on the Ye family's account. I'll have someone settle the account later."
As soon as these words were spoken, a low gasp was heard all around.
Put the Ye family on the line! This is equivalent to the Ye family directly endorsing Xiao Yin!
This relationship is far more than just ordinary friends!
Yu Tianheng's face instantly turned extremely ugly. Ye Lingling's move was tantamount to slapping him in the face in public!
"Lingling!" Yu Tianheng was shocked and angry, and wanted to say something.
"No need, Lingling." Xiao Yin finally spoke, his voice still calm, but with an unquestionable power.
He gently pressed Ye Lingling's arm, indicating that she didn't need to do so.
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Xiao Yin's mind moved slightly and he communicated with the system.
"System, exchange for one thousand gold soul coins."
[Ding! Consumed 10 wish points, successfully exchanged for 1000 gold soul coins. Current wish value: 1354.]
A heavy leather purse appeared out of thin air in Xiao Yin's hand.
Without even looking at it, he casually dropped the purse on the counter with a "pop".
The dull sound of impact seemed to hit everyone's heart.
"Done."
Xiao Yin spoke to the stunned beautiful teller, his tone so calm as if he was just throwing out a bag of copper coins.
The beautiful teller woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly picked up the purse. The heavy weight in her hand made her hands tremble.
She carefully untied the bag, and it was filled with gold soul coins, almost overflowing!
The look she gave Xiao Yin was instantly filled with awe!
In the business world, whoever has money is the boss!
The mockery on Yu Tianheng's face froze completely, as if he had been slapped hard in the face, it was burning with pain!
He was just mocking the other party for being poor, but the other party casually took out a thousand gold soul coins!
The slap in the face was fast and hard!
Xiao Yin then slowly turned his head, and for the first time his eyes fell on Yu Tianheng, whose face was turning pale.
The look in his eyes was calm, like a giant dragon looking down at the ants at its feet.
Xiao Yin's inner thoughts: You little bastard, you're trying to show off in front of me, who do you think you are!
