To know, throughout Cang Province, the number of people possessing a Golden mber Card is definitely not more than fifty.
Generally, only the Peak Masters of the Seven Great Peaks of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect and the Patriarchs of the five major families of Cang Province are eligible to receive a Golden mber Card.
But this mysterious woman before them seems to be in her early twenties yet can produce a Golden mber Card.
How astonishingly remarkable is her background?
"Ancestor, perhaps her Golden mber Card is borrowed from her elders. I can't believe there's soone so young in Cang Province who could earn a Golden mber Card." Xiahou Ting sneered nearby, fundantally disbelieving that the Golden mber Card belonged to Shangguan Zitong.
"That's indeed possible. Unexpectedly, this wretch's luck is surprisingly good, able to connect with such a figure! But does he think that with the protection of the mysterious woman he can act recklessly in this auction? Truly naive." Xiahou Dian couldn't help but sneer, looking at Ye Chen like he was watching a re clown.
You must know that among the cultivators attending this auction today, there are two to three dozen prominent figures holding Golden mber Cards.
If their followers were allowed to act recklessly at the auction, wouldn't it be chaos?
Therefore, even if Ye Chen managed to connect with that mysterious woman, he had no right to run wild at the auction.
"Hmm? Why does this woman look so familiar, like I've seen her sowhere before." At this mont, Tuoba Xiong, beside Xiahou Dian, furrowed his brow deeply, his entire being in contemplation.
He constantly felt that he had seen Shangguan Zitong sowhere, yet couldn't recall it at the mont.
After all, Shangguan Zitong wore a veil on her face, making it impossible for him to see her real appearance.
Only her figure made him feel imnsely familiar.
"Uncle, I also feel she seems familiar, could it be we've seen her before?" Even the Saint Son of Overlord Body Peak, Tuoba You, was staring intently at Shangguan Zitong, as if wanting to pierce through her secrets completely.
"It appears her identity is quite complicated, let's have soone investigate thoroughly after the auction ends. As for Ye Chen, even if he can attend this auction, what does it matter? With his pitiful finances, he can't afford a decent treasure." Tuoba Xiong coldly laughed, his face filled with disdain, his lips full of thick mockery.
Yes!
After winning the Seven Peaks Competition, Ye Chen received a reward of forty thousand Celestial Spirit Stones, that's correct.
But such Celestial Spirit Stones are worthless at the auction, not enough to buy even a decent treasure.
So Ye Chen, even though able to attend the auction, is destined to be a re sidekick.
Unlike Tuoba Xiong, whose imnse resources would undoubtedly allow him to purchase desired treasures.
"Steward Li, now are you satisfied! Our miss possesses a Golden mber Card. If you dare continue pestering, I'll have your Divine Cauldron Alliance branch Elder co out to et us." Considering the shocked Steward Li standing still, the black-clad girl Zhu Er couldn't help but chuckle, her brow filled with imnse arrogance.
In Cang Province, the Golden mber Card of the Divine Cauldron Alliance is typically only granted to Golden Core Realm dignitaries.
However, Shangguan Zitong is a genius disciple of Ziwei Sacred Land, and even the Almighty at the headquarters seeks ties with her.
Thus, though her cultivation hasn't reached the Golden Core Realm, she too can receive a Golden mber Card.
Such high-profile figures, they are treated with extre courtesy by Divine Cauldron Alliance Elders, let alone a re Steward.
If Steward Li dared persist in pestering, he'd rely be asking for humiliation.
"Damn, how could this be? How does this wretch know such prominent figures?" Steward Li's face sank deeply, his eyes filled with intense reluctance and humiliation.
Although he's a Steward of the Divine Cauldron Alliance branch, facing holders of a Golden mber Card, he had no confidence.
If he mistakenly offended them, he could even be expelled from the Divine Cauldron Alliance by seniors.
Reason thus told him not to offend the mysterious woman for Ye Chen, a filthy ant.
"Hmph! Wretch, your luck is good, able to connect with such a figure. But do you think this is the end of the matter? From now on, you are on the Divine Cauldron Alliance blacklist, never to step inside the Divine Cauldron Alliance again." Steward Li forcibly suppressed his rage, his eyes cold to the extre, transmitting his voice to Ye Chen.
"Is that so? Then don't regret it." Ye Chen's lips revealed a thick mocking smile, then turned and walked towards the Celestial Treasure Palace.
As for Steward Li, he didn't bother sparing a second glance.
After the auction, he would let him pay a heavy price naturally.
He, Ye Chen, is not a pushover to be bullied.
"Ye Chen, stop right there! Where are you heading? Do you know, without our miss, your end would be so miserable?" Zhu Er couldn't help but erupt in anger, loudly reprimanding Ye Chen.
Without their tily arrival, Ye Chen would have been suppressed by Steward Li long ago.
Yet he didn't say a single word of thanks, truly an ungrateful wretch.
"I don't need your help." Ye Chen replied without even turning his head.
He held a Purple Gold mber Card, able to enter the auction anyti.
Even without Shangguan Zitong's aid, no one could stop him.
"Miss, did you see that? Without us, he couldn't even enter the auction, yet he insists on nonsense. Truly infuriating!" Zhu Er was trembling all over with anger.
"Alright, the auction is about to start, let's quickly enter!" Shangguan Zitong said, not blaming Ye Chen at all; instead, her eyes showed imnse sympathy.
In her view, Ye Chen's stubbornness likely stemd from wounded pride.
After all, he once was the young master of the Divine Spirit Family Ye Clan, of great status, but now couldn't awaken his bloodline, certainly filling him with self-doubt.
So his refusal to accept their help was understandable.
"Miss, should we bring him to the Golden VIP room?" Zhu Er asked with a frown, showing bitter resentnt.
"Forget it, let him be!" Shangguan Zitong sighed helplessly.
In truth, she really wanted to help Ye Chen; she would even sell everything to buy what he desired.
After all, the Shangguan Clan owed Ye Chen's grandfather Ye Xuan far too much.
Consider it as so compensation to Ye Chen.
Unfortunately, Ye Chen didn't appreciate it.
Thus, she couldn't force him.
"Hmph! Black Elder, our useless son-in-law is truly difficult! So many wish to join our miss at the auction but have no chance, yet he acts indifferent to our miss. Does he still think he's Ye Clan's young master?" Zhu Er transmitted to Black Elder indignantly, her eyes full of anger and contempt.
"Soday he'll face reality." Black Elder shook his head, gazing at Ye Chen with imnse pity.
Indeed!
Ye Chen once was the young master of the Divine Spirit Family.
But now, he's lost that aura, becoming ordinary, yet unwilling to accept the reality.
People like him living in the past are truly pitiful.
