Lin Feng followed the group of won into the inn, which was called the Wind and Clouds Inn. It was directly opposite the Spiritual Treasure Auction House and, relying on its proximity to the auction house, had always been bustling with business. It was also one of the most luxurious inns in the area.
The inn was divided into three layers: the First Layer was for accommodating ordinary rcenaries, the Second Layer was for hosting the sons of prominent families, and the Third Layer was reserved for the city’s top ten powerhouses, showcasing a clear hierarchy of treatnt.
Naturally, given Qin Ya and Han Yan’s status, they could access the Third Layer as well.
As soon as they entered the inn, the attendant imdiately recognized Qin Ya and Han Yan, because Lin Feng’s group was incredibly striking.
"Miss Qin, Miss Han, and several young masters and misses, which layer would you like to go to?" the attendant asked respectfully.
"The Third Layer, a private room near the window, prepare it imdiately." Qin Ya said indifferently.
"Alright, follow ." The attendant promptly led them upstairs, and Lin Feng marveled at the inn’s interior decoration, each layer akin to a different world.
It vividly demonstrated the importance of status.
Guided by the attendant, they sat at a spot that offered a panoramic view of the scene surrounding the auction house below. Qin Ya then took the nu and ordered so of the inn’s signature dishes.
Soon, the enticing aroma of food filled the air.
Lin Feng, without hesitation, started to feast heartily. Confronted with a table full of dishes, Lin Feng’s unabashed approach seed to make the won lose their ladylike deanor and start eating as well.
Han Yan and Qin Mingyue frequently helped Lin Feng by serving him food. Han Yan acted like a big sister, while Qin Mingyue resembled a virtuous wife.
The two won exchanged glances filled with hostility, evident that neither was to be trifled with.
This al was filled with hidden tension, like the calm before a storm.
Zhang Laifu, a minor tycoon from Giant Sea City, could also be considered the Clan Leader of a family in Giant Sea City. His cultivation was at the Second Spirit Knot Level, albeit elevated through the consumption of Elixirs. Zhang Laifu was quite aware of his limitations, knowing that this was the best he could achieve in this lifeti.
Thus, every day, he would wander around the auction house, observing, searching for any beautiful woman without a background to bring ho as company.
Today, as usual, he headed to the auction house. While seated in the carriage, Zhang Laifu noticed that the atmosphere was sowhat different, seemingly unusual.
Moreover, after a while, the carriage unexpectedly stopped, prompting Zhang Laifu to directly ask the driver: ’Why has the carriage stopped?"
"Master, soone blocked our carriage in front." the driver said, his words tinged with fear.
"Whose carriage is it?" Zhang Laifu asked with a hint of anger.
"It’s the Qin Family’s carriage." the driver said timidly, evidently recognizing the formidable reputation of the elite families. Even an ordinary driver had heard of their fa.
Upon hearing it was the Qin Family, Zhang Laifu felt like he was drenched in ice water, with all his anger dissipating in an instant.
"Alright, we’ll wait." Zhang Laifu said. It’s clear he dared not provoke the Qin Family.
Soon the Qin Family’s carriage moved, but just as it started, it stopped again, inciting Zhang Laifu’s anger: ’What’s happening now?"
"Master, the Yan Family’s carriage has arrived." the driver said. Why did he say ’again’?
"Alright, I understand." Zhang Laifu replied with a bitter smile, knowing he couldn’t provoke the Yan Family either.
After waiting for a while, hearing the Yan Family’s Ma Chen leaving, just about to move, they stopped again.
"You wouldn’t tell it’s the Chen Family’s carriage, would you?" Zhang Laifu directly asked.
"No, Master, it’s the Han Family’s." the driver answered.
"Alright, I understand." Zhang Laifu replied weakly, having waited for an hour, feeling vexed but powerless.
The carriage moved and then stopped within three seconds.
"Alright, I get it, it’s the Chen Family’s carriage, isn’t it?" Zhang Laifu said.
"No, Master, the axle of our carriage broke." the driver said with a tearful face.
"I understand, take the carriage back. I’ll go take a look. It seems all four elite families are out today." Zhang Laifu muttered.
"What on earth is going on?" Zhang Laifu mused aloud.
Given his standing in the city, Zhang Laifu naturally couldn’t get involved in such matters, and the items he purchased were mostly low-grade.
At the entrance of the auction house, four carriages were lined up, Qin Family against Han Family, Chen Family against Yan Family.
The four carriages each stood their ground, clearly refusing to yield, as yielding would diminish their montum, naturally they wouldn’t allow that.
Upstairs on the Third Layer, the people observed this scene, and Qin Ya calmly sipped a cup of tea, saying: "The show is starting."
Qin Sect sat in the carriage, hearing the opponent was the Han Family, and snorted coldly to himself: "Yield to you? In your dreams, Han old scoundrel, just wait."
The Han Family Head also cursed inside his carriage: "That bastard Qin Sect is blocking my way. If not for my concern for manners, I’d crush him directly."
The Chen Family Head glanced at the Yan Family’s carriage with so astonishnt, unable to sense the presence of the Yan Family Head. Either the Yan Family Head had made a breakthrough or acquired a spell to conceal True Qi. Either scenario posed trouble for the Chen Family.
