Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 777: My Gratitude Cannot be Expressed with Words

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter!

Tears were rolling off Feng Luan, Qing Yu, and Jiang Xiaonu’s cheeks and were dripping on the red wooden chairs while emitting a clear and crisp sound. Many ladies below were also crying while Situ Yinian’s smooth shoulders were also shuddering as she sobbed silently.

After Huangfu Taotian finished talking, he gently covered the coffin and poured his essence force into the coffin as it started to radiate runic patterns again. After the coffin cover was sealed, Huangfu Taotian placed the crystal coffin into the ancient divine essence ring and stood up. He then walked out in large strides with steady steps in a proud manner.

His angular face had regained composure, and his eyes were steady and confident. As his green hair fluttered lightly, many ladies were looking at him with intoxicated eyes while many young men were sighing and feeling inferior.

He never took another look at no.555 pavilion and didn’t even say a single statement. He simply walked out of the auction hall and vanished from everyone’s sights.

“Boss…”

Qian Wanguan got a little anxious as this Huangfu Taotian didn’t even say a single word. Could 80 billion celestial stones have drifted away? If he was to return to the Gods Bestow Sea, where were they going to get back their celestial stones? This was too improper, right? He should at least give his thanks or say that he would return the celestial stones back to Jiang Yi, shouldn’t he?

“Ke-Ke!”

Jiang Yi waved his hand indicating for Qian Wanguan to speak less. Huangfu Taotian’s personality was just too similar to him as they wouldn’t repay gratitude with simple thanks. It would be unreasonable to simply give his thanks for 80 billion celestial stones which were given at the crucial moment. In the future, Huangfu Taotian would definitely find ways to return the celestial stones to Jiang Yi.

In fact, even if he didn’t pay back, Jiang Yi didn’t really mind either. He still had eight billion celestial stones, and it was enough for him to use for a long time. Jiang Yi always behaved like this and would do something as long as he felt like doing it. He didn’t bother about the result, and if the sky was to collapse, he would think of a solution when it really happened.

“Alright, this auction has ended perfectly. Tonight will be an unforgettable experience for Yinian. It is truly Yinian’s honor to witness a historical moment with everyone tonight. I hope that I will have more chances to help with the hosting of auctions in the future, and I hope to see everyone again!”

Situ Yinian’s voice trembled slightly as she crossed her arms across her abdomen and gave a deep bow while announcing the end of today’s auction. The auction supervisors from the Situ Clan started to settle the bill with the various customers and handed over the celestial stones to the sellers.

The restriction of the pavilion that Jiang Yi was in radiated with brilliance. After Qian Wanguan deactivated the restriction of the pavilion, there was a refined and courteous voice that came from outside. “Greetings to the esteemed guests, I am Situ Yixiao. By my father—Situ Ao’s orders, I have especially come to settle the auction bill with everyone.”

“Situ Yixiao!”

Jiang Yi and Qian Wanguan looked at each other and silently thought that the Situ Clan was truly showing their utmost respect. They actually sent their no.1 young master to personally settle the bill? Qian Wanguan looked at Jiang Yi while the latter put Feng Luan and the girls into the Thearch Palace. He then nodded to Qian Wanguan and transmitted a message. “Wanguan, you will impersonate Yi Piaopiao. I and the Golden Flood Dragon will be your guards.”

“Boss, this…”

Qian Wanguan had this sullen expression. Jiang Yi was too ruthless and actually pushed him to the front? How could someone with a damnable appearance like him be a genius that painted such wonderful Heaven Paintings? He looked just like a fake.

“Stop the nonsense. I have my own reasons for this arrangement. I will explain to you later on.”

Jiang Yi glared at Qian Wanguan and transmitted another message. The latter had no choice but to speak with a face filled with a hidden grudge. “Young Master Yixiao, please enter.”

As the doors gradually opened, Situ Hong led a graceful young master in. That young master was dressed in white robes, and his hair was combed in a tidy manner. His entire body was revealing a clean and refreshing feeling, and his face which had a smile that didn’t look like a smile gave him an elegant and refined look.

“I am Situ Hong, the supervisor of the auction house. This is our clan’s no.1 young master, Situ Yixiao. When he heard that I was coming over to settle the bill, he especially wanted to come over personally and make friends with my lords.”

Situ Hong swept a glance and noticed that it was the obese Qian Wanguan that was sitting? Two individuals stood by the side, and even though Qian Wanguan was using the illusion stone and appearance alteration elixir, it was impossible to change his obese body. Situ Hong immediately recognized that Qian Wanguan was the one that brought the paintings for the auction, but he didn’t expect Qian Wanguan to the master?

He cupped his hand towards the trio with respect and let out a flattering smile. He then turned to the side to introduce Situ Yixiao while the latter also smiled lightly, indicating for Situ Hong to open up the room’s restriction. Situ Yixiao then cupped his hands and said, “Yixiao pays his greetings to the three guests. Please forgive Yixiao for coming without any notice. I truly wish to make friends with Master Yi Piaopiao. Those 600 volcano eruption paintings and the three mystical paintings had truly allowed Yixiao to witness what is called a true genius. For Yixiao to be able to meet with Master, I can already die without regrets.”

Jiang Yi didn’t speak; the Golden Flood Dragon didn’t dare to speak either. Qian Wanguan felt as though he was seating on a pinned cushion, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and replied, “Young Master Yixiao is too polite. I am even more honored to witness the demeanor of Situ Clan’s no.1 young master.”

Situ Yixiao exchanged looks with Situ Hong. They didn’t expect that this fatty was truly Yi Piaopiao?

The person that was speaking earlier had been using the restriction to alter his voice. Hence, they couldn’t know which of the trio was the real master. Since this fatty had admitted it, Situ Yixiao had to acknowledge him. He cupped his hands again and said, “Master is too humble. To be able to make friends with someone like Master, it should be Yixiao’s honor. By the orders of my father, I am here to deliver a token. This is the token that is granted jointly by the four major clans. With this token, you are not liable to tax in the city; and you can purchase everything in the four major clans’ merchant association for half the price.

“At the same time, you may roam around the city during nighttime; and you could even exit the city. This is the honorary token from the four major clans, and only talents with special status would be granted it. This token could only be granted after my father sought the opinions of Uncle Lei, Uncle Nangong, and Uncle Huangfu. Will Master please accept it as a little sincerity from the four major clans as we are very willing to make friends with someone like Master. In addition… this token will not require Master to undertake any duty or responsibility.”

“Uh…”

Qian Wanguan got a shock and took a glance at Jiang Yi, but he quickly reacted and took another glance at the Golden Flood Dragon as well. Jiang Yi had a blank face, but he responded with a blink of the eye without leaving any trace. Qian Wanguan immediately understood and stood up to accept the token while responding, “Clan Head Situ is too modest. I will visit Clan Head Situ someday to give my thanks for his generosity!”

“Sure, Yixiao and Father will be honored by the presence of Master in our Situ Residence!”

Situ Yixiao bowed slightly and bid his farewell. He had already achieved his objective while the other side had also accepted their favor. Recruitment was something that must not be rushed. It would produce the opposite result if he were to suddenly propose for them to join the Situ Clan. For Situ Yixiao to become the no.1 young master of the Situ Clan, he didn’t merely rely on his father; but his own capability was indeed very competent as well.

Situ Hong stayed to settle the bill with Qian Wanguan. The Situ Clan didn’t intend to give Qian Wanguan more celestial stones as that token was worth much more celestial stones. That was a symbol of status, and with this token, Jiang Yi and his group’s status would be entirely different in Gods Bestow City. The Situ Clan had also expressed a hidden meaning that… the Situ Clan could protect them. With this token, the Lei Clan would dare to make a move within this period of time while the Lu Clan wouldn’t make their displeasure too obvious either.

After settling the eight billion celestial stones and obtaining a token, Jiang Yi and his group would be able to purchase the God’s Sob Elixir for a very long time. Everyone was then prepared to leave with satisfaction. After waiting for all the people below to exit, the trio stood up and left.

Jiang Yi and the Golden Flood Dragon walked behind Qian Wanguan as they walked out of the auction hall. When they noticed that no one was paying attention to them on the first floor, the trio relaxed a little. Who knew that when they walked out of the door, the trio saw a familiar figure? That person was too conspicuous as his green hair was too prominent.

Huangfu Taotian stood outside the door straight like a javelin. He didn’t look around; neither did he have any expression on his face. When Jiang Yi and two others walked to the door, he suddenly knelt on one knee and yelled out, “My gratitude cannot be expressed with words. Huangfu Taotian is not preparing to thank either. I am willing to serve as a slave for ten years to repay the gratitude!”
