Supreme Lord of Towers Chapter 444 - 440: Attending the Auction

Inside the resplendent hall, silence fell abruptly.

Whether it was Shangguan Zitong, or Ye Chen's adoptive father and mother, their bodies stood stiffly in place, their eyes filled with deep disbelief.

They originally thought Ye Chen should be able to awaken his bloodline this ti.

After all, the Awakening Pill boasts more than a ninety-percent chance of stimulating a cultivator's bloodline.

Yet unexpectedly, Ye Chen ultimately failed.

Could it be that he is destined never to awaken his bloodline?

"Heavens, why must you treat Chen'er this way." Xiao Hui couldn't help but sigh, feeling an unbearable ache for Ye Chen.

"Chen'er, don't lose heart, your Martial Arts Talent and your Body Refining Talent are so high, even if you can't awaken your bloodline, you'll surely achieve sothing." Ye Ming's brows displayed deep emotion as he comforted Ye Chen.

In truth, he also hoped Ye Chen could awaken his bloodline.

After all, bloodlines are of utmost importance in this world, and without awakening a bloodline, no matter how high one's talent in other areas, it's challenging to compete against those geniuses with Heaven-defying Bloodlines.

But, since Ye Chen cannot awaken his bloodline, it cannot be forced.

Perhaps this is his fate!

"Hmph! Stop deceiving yourselves, he can't awaken his bloodline, his achievents in this life are destined to be extrely limited! Miss, he doesn't match you at all. If you don't break off the engagent with him, you'll certainly be dragged down for life." The black-clad girl, Zhu'er, sneered coldly, her expression showing extre impatience.

If Ye Chen could awaken his bloodline, he might barely befit her lady.

But now, even after consuming the Awakening Pill, he still failed to awaken his bloodline, truly a failing lump of mud.

If her lady really married such a person, not only would she have no happiness, she'd be dragged down for life.

Thus, Zhu'er truly wished to avoid this tragedy.

"Zhu'er, hold your tongue, you're being far too impudent." Shangguan Zitong's brows furrowed together tightly as she loudly rebuked Zhu'er.

Although Ye Chen's inability to awaken his bloodline also disappointed her greatly.

However, she did not hence hold Ye Chen in contempt.

Her disappointnt stemd from the fact that it would be difficult for Ye Chen to beco a peerless powerhouse in the future, lacking even the ability to protect himself.

Encountering strong mbers of the Ye Clan at any mont, he could be killed.

"Zitong, you still have ti to regret, I won't bla you if you truly want to break off our engagent." Ye Chen gazed at Shangguan Zitong, speaking candidly.

While he had so feelings for Shangguan Zitong, they had not risen to the level of love.

If she truly did not want to beco his wife, he would not force the issue.

"Ye Chen, don't misunderstand, I'm not disdainful of you; as long as you are willing to continue cultivating diligently, I believe you will achieve significant accomplishnts in the future." Shangguan Zitong replied with a gentle voice, as sweet as a heavenly lody.

She knew Ye Chen, unable to awaken his bloodline, must feel deeply dejected.

Hence now, she should not fault Ye Chen privately but instead comfort him well.

Otherwise, his self-esteem would only grow weaker.

As for breaking off the engagent, it was absolutely impossible.

Even if Ye Chen was just an ordinary person, she would not break off the engagent with him.

"Chen'er, Zitong Fairy is right, you couldn't awaken your bloodline, yet you still beca a True Disciple of Overlord Body Peak, so absolutely don't give up on yourself because of this." On the side, Xiao Hui gazed dotingly at Ye Chen, unable to resist comforting him.

"Adoptive mother, rest assured, I'm perfectly fine now." Ye Chen replied with a slight smile, feeling a warm surge within.

"Alas! Miss, why can't you think more clearly? What's so good about Ye Chen that makes you treat him this way?" Zhu'er sighed internally, truly feeling her lady was giving more than deserved.

Her lady is esteed even within the Ziwei Sacred Land.

Many sons of heaven admire her.

Even Jiang Xuan, the candidate for Saint Son within the Ziwei Sacred Land, has pursued her persistently.

Yet her lady seemingly ignored it all, instead choosing Ye Chen, this wastrel who can't even awaken his bloodline.

This is truly a flower planted in cow dung.

However, she knew she couldn't change her lady's heart, and thus chose silence.

Perhaps only her master and madam could sway her lady.

"Ye Chen, I plan to attend tomorrow's auction, and once it's over, I'll return to the Ziwei Sacred Land. If soday you wish to co to the Ziwei Sacred Land, you can always inform ." Shangguan Zitong said unexpectedly to Ye Chen, a trace of unwillingness flashing deep in her eyes.

In her heart, Ye Chen could already be considered her husband.

Therefore, she felt a bit reluctant to part from Ye Chen.

"Why are you returning so soon? You could stay in Cang Province a while longer." Ye Chen said in surprise.

Even he didn't expect Shangguan Zitong would leave so soon.

"Recently, there are urgent tasks at the Sacred Land needing execution, so I can't delay much longer. Ye Chen, why not accompany to the auction tomorrow; if you fancy sothing, let know, and I'll do my utmost to buy it for you." Shangguan Zitong replied with a slight smile.

"No need, I'll buy it myself." Ye Chen shook his head.

He knew Shangguan Zitong had his best interests in mind.

However, he really didn't want to owe Shangguan Zitong too much.

At any rate, he currently isn't lacking funds; any item at the auction, he feels confident he could acquire.

"Ha! How capable you are, with your limited strength, how many Spirit Stones can you produce? Refusing our lady's help now ans you shouldn't regret it tomorrow." Zhu'er sneered, her lips curled in deep mockery.

She knew Ye Chen's background inside and out.

He only recently erged from the Celestial Fla Dynasty, such a remote region, how much wealth could he possibly have?

Even the cheapest items at the auction would be almost impossible for him to buy, yet he dared to boast before her lady.

"I certainly won't regret." Ye Chen replied calmly, not bothering to dispute with Zhu'er.

After all, she simply wasn't aware, his Alchemy Dao mastery had reached the Pill God Level, so it's natural she assus he lacks wealth.

"Ye Chen, why do you always reject ? Are you afraid of owing too much?" Shangguan Zitong sighed internally.
