Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121 Leaving the Auction

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Yi Tianheng glared at Lu Yu, his eyes brimming with undisguised provocation.

Lu Yu, unfazed by the hostility, strode confidently towards the stage.

“Esteemed customer,” the auctioneer announced with a flourish, “you have successfully acquired this potion for 250,000 Dragon Coins. It is now yours to claim!”

A hint of awkwardness flickered across his smile as he added, “However, payment would be required first.”

Lu Yu offered a curt nod. “Of course. Please swipe the card and process the transaction. ”

An auction house staff member promptly retrieved the bank card and scanned it on a specialized terminal. With a satisfying beep, the transfer of 250,000 Dragon Coins was complete.

The coveted evolutionary potion was now in Lu Yu’s possession. He secured the vial carefully before turning and heading back to his seat; his movements were a testament to his decisive nature.

Back in the VIP section, Yi Tianheng remained rooted to his spot, his mind struggling to comprehend the situation. The empty stage mocked him, a stark reminder of his recent defeat.

“He just… paid and left?” he stammered, disbelief lacing his voice. “That’s it?

Was he… crazy? Spending 250,000 on a single potion just to mess with me? Does money mean nothing to him?”

Bewilderment clouded his features. The butler beside him mirrored his expression, completely at a loss.

“Young Master,” the butler ventured, furrowing his brow, “this person doesn’t seem to be targeting us. He didn’t even acknowledge our presence.”

Yi Tianheng, however, remained unconvinced. “He absolutely was!” he declared with unwavering conviction. “Have faith in my judgment. You say he didn’t look at us? I tell you, he stole several glances in our direction.”

The butler’s eyes widened in surprise. “Really?”

“Absolutely!” Yi Tianheng boomed, his voice laced with a hint of paranoia. “And I could sense a murderous glint in his eyes. This guy is after me. He must be someone sent by an enemy. I’ll confront him and see if I can glean any information.

Fueled by his suspicions, Yi Tianheng rose from his seat and marched towards Lu Yu, leaving a bewildered butler in his wake.

Sensing someone approaching, Jiang Xun looked up, curiosity coloring his features. “What’s the matter?” he inauired.

Yi Tianheng, however, ignored him completely, barging past Jiang Xun to stand directly in front of Lu Yu.

“You’re here for me, aren’t you?” he demanded in a menacing tone.

Lu Yu raised an eyebrow. “Who are you?”

Yi Tianheng scoffed. “Don’t play dumb. You think I didn’t notice you watching me?” he said confidently.

Lu Yu met his gaze, his voice devoid of emotion. “I don’t know who you are. Why are you bothering me? Did I do something to offend you? If you come here harassing me for no reason, don’t blame me for getting rough.”

A harsh laugh erupted from Yi Tianheng. “You still deny it? Are you trying to use a few words as an excuse to attack me? Your motives are transparent!”

He slammed his fist onto the table, his voice dripping with venom. “I knew it!

You must be someone sent by my enemies! Well, you won’t get away with this!”

Before Lu Yu said anything else, a powerful grip clamped down on Yi

Tianheng’s wrist. A surge of pain ripped through him, eliciting a yelp of agony.

“Don’t make a sound. I already told you I don’t know you. Keep spouting nonsense, and you’ll regret it. Understand?”

Yi Tianheng, wincing in pain, managed a strained nod. “I… I understand. I won’t say anything else… Just let go! Let go!”

Lu Yu released his grip and gave him a shove. Yi Tianheng stumbled back a few steps before collapsing onto the ground.

“Fine! I’ll remember you!” He snarled, scrambling to his feet and heading for the exit. His butler hurried after him.

“Young Master, are we leaving?”

“Absolutely, I can’t stand to be here another minute,” Yi Tianheng grumbled.

“But we can’t just leave like this. It’s humiliating! Humiliating for the entire Yi family.”

Yi Tianheng spun around, his eyes flashing with fury. “What are you babbling about? This isn’t over. I’m going to see the City Lord!”

“I’ve known the City Lord of Skyplume City for years. He holds immense power in his territory. Surely he can handle this.”

“Exactly. Let’s find Yuan Huan. He’ll definitely help us!”

A sneer twisted Yi Tianheng’s features as he clenched his fists. “Just wait until I see Yuan Huan. I’ll show that self-important official what true power looks like. He thinks he can challenge me with some measly money? Pathetic.”

“When I find Yuan Huan, I’ll make him pay a hundredfold!”

Fuming, they stormed out of the auction house.

Meanwhile, Lu Yu remained, browsing for more interesting items. Unfortunately, despite his perusal, nothing truly caught his eye. It seemed spending the rest of his money wouldn’t be so easy.

“Brother Lu,” Jiang Xun piped up as they were about to leave, “wasn’t that a lot to spend on a single potion? Are you sure?”

“Don’t worry about money,” Lu Yu reassured him. “If I run out, I’ll just ask Zhao Qingya for some. I can’t imagine she’d refuse.”

“Really? Can it really be that easy?”

Lu Yu nodded matter-of-factly. “I’ve done her a lot of favors. Isn’t it reasonable to ask for a little help?”

“Alright, let’s go back. Once we’re home, we’ll feed the potion to the Frost

Dragon and help it grow stronger, boosting your combat power.”

Jiang Xun beamed excitedly. “Okay, thank you, big brother!”

With that, the two exited the auction house together.

Upon returning, Lu Yu’s first stop was Zhao Qingya’s office. He found her diligently working away.

“Every day seemed to be a whirlwind. There’s never a moment’s rest, yeah?” Lu Yu pushed open the door and strolled in.

She set down her work and finally acknowledged him. “Isn’t it because of you?”

“What do you mean, because of me?”

“Because you’re the deputy mayor, you should be handling a lot of work. But you decided to go to an auction instead, leaving everything to me.”

Lu Yu spread his hands helplessly. “I don’t know much about the Ten Thousand Dragon Kingdom, and I’m not exactly from here. Wouldn’t it be risky for you to let me handle things?”

“That’s a good point. So, what brings you here?”

Lu Yu settled himself into a chair.

“The auction got a little heated,” Lu Yu admitted, settling into a chair. “I ended up spending more than I anticipated on a potion.”

Zhao Qingya raised an eyebrow, amusement flickering in her eyes. “Heated, huh? Sounds like you got caught in a bidding war.”

“Something like that,” Lu Yu chuckled sheepishly. “The final price was a bit…

extravagant.”

“Extravagant, you say?” She leaned back in her chair, a hint of curiosity in her voice. “How extravagant are we talking about?”

Lu Yu named the sum, bracing himself for her reaction. “250,000 Dragon

Coins.”

Zhao Qingya’s eyes widened in disbelief. “250,000 for a single potion? Are you sure it wasn’t some legendary elixir?”

“Nope,” Lu Yu replied, shaking his head. “Just a rather uncommon evolutionary potion.”

“Uncommon? Mister, don’t you know the market price here? You’ve been ripped off. Why did you have to spend 250,000 yuan on it?”

“Of course I know it isn’t worth that much. It’s just that someone raised the price. ”

“Someone dares to raise the price with you? You didn’t kill that person, did you?” Zhao Qingya looked at Lu Yu seriously.

“Not to that extent. Although I’m quite strong, there’s no need..”
