The Ruler
171. Leaving the Auction House.
While enjoying a drink, Qing Ruo and Hong Dou chatted casually.
" Mister Na Ruo," Hong Dou said hesitantly.
" Miss, speak up," Qing Ruo said casually.
" Does master Na Ruo still have resources, pills or high-level weapons that you might not need. If there is, we're ready to buy it."
Qing Ruo smiled leisurely shaking her head.
" I think the resources I auctioned earlier are more than enough."
Qing Ruo's reply made Hong Dou a little disappointed. Nevertheless, the figure still displayed his friendly smile.
As they were talking, suddenly a beautiful girl, who was the servant of the auction house, entered the room. Bringing along the three auction items that Qing Ruo had won before, along with the storage ring containing millions of soul crystals, which was the profit from the auction of golden apples and bodhi fruit.
The servant then handed the item to Hong Tianmi.
" Miss," he said speaking via telepathy explaining the item in detail.
" Alright, thank you," Hong Tianmi said.
After the girl left, Hing Tianmi then handed the item to Qing Ruo and explained it in detail.
" Mister, your expenditure consists of, the twenty million dark fire core, the thirty million soul strengthening golden grass, and the sixty million dragon soul pearl. Total One hundred ten million. And your income, sixty-five million golden apples, one hundred and eighty-five million Bodhi fruit, a total of two hundred and fifty million. Reduced the administrative cost of the auction by five percent, twelve million five hundred thousand, to two hundred and thirty-seven million five hundred thousand. Reduced again by the three items of resources that you bought a hundred and ten million, then the net profit that you received, one hundred and twenty-seven million five hundred thousand," Hong Tianmi explained, while giving the storage ring and three jade boxes to Qing Ruo.
" Thank you miss," Qing Ruo said as she received the storage ring and the three jade boxes, then kept them.
" Mister Na Ruo, did you not check the ring first?" Ask Hong Dou.
" Miss Hong Dou, I believe in you and this auction house," Qing Ruo replied kindly.
" Thank you, sir."
" Miss Hong Dou, since our affairs in her place have been completed, then we beg to resign. Once again thank you for the opportunity given to us to auction off the resources we have." Cupping his hands respectfully.
" We also thank you. Master Na Ruo's participation in this auction will bring good things to our auction house, thank you." Cupped his hands respectfully.
" Miss Hong Dou," Qing Ruo said as he gave the girl his storage ring.
" Mister, what is this?" try to reject the gift subtly.
" Miss, accept it. think of it as a gift of friendship," Qing Ruo insisted.
" Good sir. Thank you." Thank you."
" Alright, miss Hong Dou, miss Tianmi, we're leaving" Qing Ruo said as he left the room.
After Qing Ruo and Long Chen left, three fifth level semi-immortal figures appeared, facing Hong Dou respectfully.
" Miss, what should we do?"
" Older, as long as master Na Ruo and his servant are in this city, protect them in various ways" Hong Dou said seriously.
" Well, miss...." Then move away from that place.
After the high-ranking warriors left, Hong Dou then checked the contents of the Storage ring, which instantly left him agape.
" Sister, what's wrong?" hong Tianim asked curiously.
" Sister, take a look." while giving the storage ring to Hong Tianmi, which also left the girl dumbfounded.
" Sister, this is really amazing" he said.
" Mister Na Ruo is truly generous," he said happily while removing three bodhi from the storage ring.
" One for me, one for sister, and one for father" Hong Dou said happily.

Somewhere else.
Qing Ruo and Long Chen, continuing to step foot out of the auction house, moved towards the Flower Xi inn.
Along the way. The two of them continued to sense some aura, moving following them.
" Ruler, it looks like we're really being watched."
" As long as they don't attack, let them. But do you recognize the aura?"
" I doubt the ruler, because the distance is too far. Based on his aura it was likely that they were elders who were in room number twelve and number five and three others I don't know," Long Chen replied explaining.
" Based on his movements, it seems like they are indeed working together," Qing Ruo said casually.
Not long after they arrived at a slightly dark and desolate area.
" Swhuss.. swhus.." The five elders with cold grins, appeared looking at Qing Ruo and Long Chen. However not yet had time for one of them to make a move, the other three figures appeared, standing behind Qing Ruo and Long Chen.
" Please the elders give us a face," said one of the figures behind Qing Ruo speaking, while taking out the Ice Jade auction house badge.
Without saying a word the five figures that blocked Qing Ruo moved away.
" Swhuss. swhus...." Their figures vanished in the darkness of the night.
" The elders, thank you," Qing Ruo said respectfully, cupping her hands respectfully.
" Mister Na Ruo. This is our duty. So there's no need to hesitate."given me a red jade badge.
" If you are in trouble, call us with this discourse."
" Good elder, thank you," Qing Ruo said as she grabbed the jade badge, and kept it.
After the three elders from the auction house left, Qing Ruo and Long Chen then continued on their way.
" The Ice Jade auction house really has incredible power," Long Chen said.
" It seems so. As one of the city's ruling clans, their strength was certainly not weak," Qing Ruo chimed in, as he continued walking.

Somewhere else. In the dark corner of the building.
The five elders who confronted Qing Ruo and Long Chen earlier, looked so happy.
" Sister's idea to make sure the figure really goes well. It turned out that the figure was indeed the young man who was in room number nine."
" Brother, are we going to take action tonight?"
" Are you sure you're doing it in the city?"
" I'm worried that the figure will go using the teleportation gate?"
" Brother is right. If he uses the teleportation gate, then we really don't have that chance anymore."
" What is your brother's idea?"
" Stop him at the inn or force him to travel without using the teleportation gate."
" How is it?"
" We're making a mess at the teleportation gate..."
" It's very risky. We better talk to the other brother."
" Brother is right." While continuing to discuss their plans.

Somewhere else.
Qing Ruo and Long Chen finally arrived at the Flower Xi inn, then met the servant standing guard.
" Miss, I want to stay for three more nights," Qing Ruo said as she paid for the lodging.
" Happy, sir." smiled happily.
" Fine miss, we go first" Qing Ruo said, leaving the cashier's desk, then headed for her room.
Inn hallway.
" Ruler," Long Chen said, asking Qing Ruo's reason.
" First I want to level up immediately. Besides, I also want to outwit the stalker."
" What does the ruler mean, the elders who confronted us before?"
" right. I'm sure they won't let us go."
" What are we going to do then?"
" We better get on the level first."
" Good ruler."
