After driving around for half an hour and talking to many people about the auction house in this city, only one name appeared repeatedly.

“This Azure Phoenix Auction House seems to be very popular. Let's see," said Yuan.

Xiao Hua nodded and followed Yuan to the location of this Azure Phoenix Auction House.

According to the people who spoke to Yuan, the Azure Phoenix Auction House was one of the richest and most influential auction houses in the Eastern Continent. Moreover, they were supported by the Azure Phoenix Sect, one of the most powerful backgrounds in this world.

“We are really lucky to have arrived in this city right on its opening day, right, Xiao Hua?”

“En.” Xiao Hua nodded his little head.

The Azure Phoenix Auction House only opened once every three years because they had to hoard precious treasures, and coincidentally, they came right on its opening day.

After walking around the Spirit City that occupied miles of land for several minutes, Yuan and Xiao Hua finally arrived at the entrance of the Azure Phoenix Auction House.

"Wow, this big place is an auction house?" Yuan inevitably became amazed by the luxurious buildings in front of him that filled the entire street.

"Excuse me, is this the Azure Phoenix Auction House?" Yuan asked one of the people there just in case.

As soon as he confirmed that they were in the right place, Yuan approached one of the two beautiful young women who were standing still at the entrance, assuming he was one of the workers here.

"Hello, do you work here?" She asked.

"I want to" he replied in a soft voice.

"Big! I came here today because I want to sell something here.”

“”

The young lady looked at Yuan with a strange face after hearing his words.

“Umm Sorry, but we stopped accepting items for auction a month ago,” he said moments later.

"What?"

Yuan stood there with a dumbfounded look.

The young lady chuckled and spoke, "Is this your first time at the auction house?"

"Yes"

“Then let this sister teach you something about them. If you want to sell something using an Auction House, you should let them know in advance so that they can put it on the list to let the guests know. People wouldn't go to the auction house if they didn't know what to sell, you know? They should also prepare.”

“So it makes sense” Yuan sighed, feeling disappointed and a little frustrated.

“Looks like I should sell this monster core somewhere else”

‘Core monster Spirit Apprentice Realm?’ The young lady noticed the monster core in Yuan's hands and shook her head inwardly.

Even if Yuan was in time to sell his monster core, the Azure Phoenix Auction House would not accept something so trivial. In fact, even if he were to carry the Spirit Warrior Realm monster core, the Azure Phoenix Auction House would not even glance at him.

The young lady did not want to disappoint Yuan anymore, who obviously did not know much, so she remained silent.

However, the other workers there, who had been watching them from the start, laughed out loud, “Hahaha! Does this kid really want to sell that trash at our Azure Phoenix Auction House?! It's so funny!"

“Lian Rong! Why does everything that comes out of your mouth have to be so rotten? He was obviously very young and stupid! No need to mock him!”

The young lady beside Yuan frowned at the unsightly behavior of her co-workers.

“Hmph! I'm just telling the truth! And the earlier he learns, the sooner he'll grow up! Why are you even protecting a beggar like him, Na Ying?” Lian Rong gave a cold snort, her gaze filled with ridicule.

“Don't mind him, little brother. It's not a crime or a shame to be stupid at times. Na Ying tries to calm Yuan down, acting like the sister of her friendly neighbor.

“What's wrong with you, Na Ying? Are you fascinated by this child? Ha ha! I wonder how the disciples in Azure Phoenix Sect reacted after they learned of this!” Lian Rong continued to laugh.

“”

Although Yuan did not object to Lian Rong's ridicule, the little girl standing beside him was boiling with rage.

‘This insignificant little ants don't know who he's making fun of! Brother Yuan is a genius among the geniuses of the ” prodigies that will shock even the Upper Heavens! One day, Brother Yuan will become a figure who stands above everything! I can't let him keep teasing!’

"You-you! Are you looking for a fight, Na Ying ?! ”

"Oh? Do you want to fight me? Are you sure about that, senior apprentice brother? ” Na Ying narrowed her eyes, and the cultivation base of an expert at the peak Spirit Warrior Realm radiated from her body.

A speck of sweat appeared on Lian Rong's forehead after feeling Na Ying's pressure.

“J-Wait just! As soon as we return to the sect, I will””

"What's with the commotion here ?!" A powerful voice suddenly resounded.

A few seconds later, an old woman appeared in front of them with an annoyed face.

“Chang Senior!”

The two girls immediately stopped their quarrel and bowed to the old woman.

“Don't forget where you two are now! Regardless of your status in the Azure Phoenix Sect, you are working for me now! And I will not tolerate this kind of behavior at my Azure Phoenix Auction House!”

"I'm sorry"

They immediately apologized.

"Enough. I'll deal with you two afterwards. The guests are sitting. Close the door and come in,” Senior Chang said.

"Wait!"

Just when Senior Chang turned around, a funny but arrogant voice stopped his steps.

"X-Xiao Hua?" Yuan looked at him with wide eyes.

"What are you doing?" he whispered in his ear.

“Don't worry, Brother Yuan. Xiao Hua will handle this, ” he replied with a smile on his face.

"Who is this little girl?" Senior Chang frowned as he felt a profound aura around Xiao Hua's small body. It gave him a horrible feeling.

"Are you the owner of this place?" Xiao Hua suddenly asked.

"That's fine. And who are you?" Senior Chang replied.

However, Xiao Hua did not immediately respond and took out his storage pouch.

Then, right before their eyes, Xiao Hua took out a blue dagger from the pouch.

As soon as the dagger was revealed to the world, an unexpected presence suddenly appeared and enveloped the place.

“This presence”!!!” Senior Chang stumbled backwards and nearly fell onto his butt when he saw the dagger and felt its aura.

“This dagger is a Heaven-class weapon with peak quality – Heavenly Frost Dagger,” Xiao Hua said, and he continued calmly, “Who am not important now. The important thing, however, is that I have planned to sell this dagger at your Azure Phoenix Auction House. However, since one of your workers mocked Brother Yuan and made me angry, I now think twice.”

After a moment of silence, Senior Chang's stiff body began to tremble.

"WHO?! Who would dare offend you ?! I'll kill that bastard for you!" Senior Chang's attitude suddenly changed, surprising Lian Rong and Na Ying, who had never seen him this big before, acting as if someone had just killed his son.

Even Yuan could not help but stare at Xiao Hua with wide eyes. Since when did they come here to sell the dagger? And why does he feel so different now?

"That girl's right there!" Xiao Hua did not waste time pointing his little fingers.

Senior Chang turned to look at Lian Rong, who was as pale as a ghost right now, looking like all of her blood had just been drained from her body.

"What have you done, Lian Rong ?!" Senior Chang roared at him with an angry expression.

"I'M ME"

Unable to answer and filled with despair, the young woman named Lian Rong knelt down, even peeing on her pants out of fear.

Na Ying closed her mouth in surprise as she watched this unexpected turn of events.

What's gonna happen now?
