"Little brother, it’s this one, it’s this one." Seeing the Xianling Jade in Feng Wuchen’s hand, the old man appeared extrely excited.
"It really is exactly as he described, with a red hue and a faint green, and there’s also a crack."
"Could it be that Shopkeeper Li really swapped it? Otherwise, how could the old gentleman’s Xianling Jade end up in Shopkeeper Li’s Storage Ring?"
"Bastard! We trusted Shopkeeper Li so much, even spoke well of him, and he turns out to be a big liar!"
"Liar! Big liar!"
Seeing the Xianling Jade in Feng Wuchen’s hand, the crowd grew furious, accusing and cursing loudly.
As the curses grew louder, more cultivators ca to watch from the streets. Upon learning that Shopkeeper Li was a big liar who swapped others’ treasures, the cultivators joined in the cursing.
Li Xi’s face was uneasy, seething with anger.
"Shopkeeper Li, you have nothing to say now, do you?" Liu Qingyang asked with a cold smile, directly throwing Shopkeeper Li onto the street.
"This piece of Xianling Jade is at least fifteen hundred years old, containing extrely pure and vast energy, greatly beneficial for the cultivation of Divine King and Divine Monarch level practitioners. Just this one piece is worth at least fifty million Divine Spirit Stones." Feng Wuchen spoke calmly, then handed the Divine Spirit Stone to the old gentleman.
"Thank you, little brother! Thank you, little brother!" The old man expressed his gratitude repeatedly in excitent.
"Shopkeeper Li, you’re truly shaless! If it weren’t for this little brother, the old gentleman would have been deceived of forty-five million Divine Spirit Stones by you!" A Divine Monarch cultivator cursed angrily.
"What a fool I was! I sold so many treasures at the Li Family Shop, I must have been scamd terribly!" Another cultivator cursed angrily.
"Li Family Shop, get out of Comrce City!"
"Li Family Shop, get out of Comrce City!"
The angry crowd shouted in unison.
Li Xi’s face darkened severely, his gaze maliciously fixed on Feng Wuchen.
"Damn brat! Just you wait!" Li Xi cursed at Feng Wuchen, then scrambled away, abandoning the Li Family Shop.
If he didn’t run, Li Xi was afraid he would be scolded to death on the spot.
As Li Xi fled, the Li Family Shop was smashed by the crowd, quickly turning into ruins.
But once the crowd had smashed the Li Family Shop, they quickly dispersed, leaving the shop entrance deserted and desolate.
Watching this scene, Feng Wuchen didn’t mind, and then headed to the Comrce Association.
"Where did Qingqing and the others run off to?" Liu Qingyang asked with slight concern, noting that Ling Xiaoxiao and Miao Qingqing had disappeared from the street.
"No need to worry, this is Comrce City, they’ll be fine." Feng Wuchen replied with a faint smile.
At the Comrce Association entrance.
Feng Wuchen, Bei Dou Yan, and Liu Qingyang were admiring the grand and magnificent palace of the Comrce Association.
"As expected of the Comrce Association, even if it’s just a branch, it’s so imposing, it inspires awe." Bei Dou Yan marveled.
Liu Qingyang waved his hand, laughing: "Alright, alright, don’t marvel too much, the Dragon God Palace will be even grander in the future! Haha!"
Though it couldn’t compare with the main palace, it was much more upscale than the Star Soul Comrce Chamber.
"Please co inside, the three of you." The guard respectfully gestured for them to enter.
"Thank you." Feng Wuchen nodded slightly.
Just as Feng Wuchen and the others entered the Comrce Association hall, the manager coming towards them imdiately trembled upon seeing Feng Wuchen.
"Honored... Honored Elder Delegate!" The manager was startled, imdiately instructing a maid: "Quick, make sure to treat those three distinguished guests well!"
After uttering this, the manager hurried to the inner palace, looking extrely anxious.
"Yes! Manager!" The maid respectfully acknowledged. Noticing the manager’s panic, she also suspected the visitors were of noble status, and imdiately approached Feng Wuchen and his companions.
"Welco esteed guests to the Godslayer Realm Comrce Association. Is there anything we can assist you with?" The maid greeted respectfully.
"Distinguished guests? Does that an I’m not a distinguished guest as well?" Before Feng Wuchen could respond, a man who had entered with them voiced his dissatisfaction, casting a disdainful glance at Feng Wuchen and his companions with an air of superiority.
"Are you blind? Didn’t you see our young master? Do you know the consequences of offending our young master? Quickly have your chief auctioneer co and attend to our young master!" A guard accompanying them shouted angrily at the maid.
"Young Master Huo, I’m truly sorry, I..." The maid, frightened, tried to apologize but was cut off mid-sentence.
"Humph! To dare neglect our young master, you’ll find no place here at the Comrce Association. Make ands to our young master well tonight!" Another guard cursed arrogantly.
Hearing this, the maid’s face turned pale with fear, trembling all over.
"Young Master Huo, please calm down, I’ll report to the chief auctioneer imdiately." Another maid, alard, said with a glance full of contempt at the maid attending to Feng Wuchen. "Your eyes must be blind; didn’t you see Young Master Huo? Those beggarly types can’t compare to Young Master Huo, and offending him won’t end well for you. Serve him well tonight!"
Liu Qingyang and Bei Dou Yan exchanged glances, each shrugging indifferently.
The maid looked terrified and despairing. She knew what would happen to her in a few nights; even if she didn’t die, she’d fall into endless despair.
Clearly, reprimanding the maid also served as a way to curry favor with Young Master Huo.
"I’m... I’m sorry..." The maid promptly apologized to Feng Wuchen and the others, her face full of remorse and eyes brimming with tears.
"It’s alright, don’t worry about it." Feng Wuchen smiled gently.
With Young Master Huo’s appearance, cultivators in the Comrce Association hall all cast looks of reverence, and many, trying to gain his favor, even ca up to greet him respectfully.
"Move, you brat, don’t block our young master!" a guard barked at Feng Wuchen and his companions, shooting them a fierce glare.
Hearing this, Feng Wuchen asked in surprise: "We’re standing side by side, how are we blocking your young master?"
Young Master Huo cast a condescending glance at Feng Wuchen and said: "Brat, no matter where you stand, you’re blocking this young master. Take a good look at yourself, do you three rascals even deserve to be here in the Comrce Association?"
"Brother Feng, is there a rule in this Association about who can enter and who can’t? Does he own this place?" Liu Qingyang asked, feigning ignorance.
"Humph! Kid, you actually guessed right. The Second Elder of the Comrce Association is the niece of our young master! So you should know your place and scram!" boasted one guard.
"Ha, I thought it was the president. Just a niece, the Comrce Association isn’t yours either." Bei Dou Yan sneered.
"Please, sir, perhaps you should speak less. Young Master Huo holds an extraordinary status, we can’t afford to offend him." The maid hastily whispered in Feng Wuchen’s ear.
"Alright." Feng Wuchen could see the maid was really scared. He wasn’t afraid, but he didn’t want to cause any trouble for the maid, imagining what kind of fate she might face.
"What did you say? Are you tired of living?" Bei Dou Yan’s words instantly incensed Young Master Huo’s guards.
