Chapter 35 - 1,000,000Xiang Yun looked at his two brothers, who were both covered in lightning and bathed in fire, feeling the powerful auras from their bodies. He could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, but immediately forced himself to calm down before turning to his second brother, Xiang Jinghong.
"Second Brother, I bought this thing with money. If you don"t believe me, you can check the auction records of Tianxuan Commerce. Two months ago at Silver City"s auction, did anyone buy the Scarlet Fire Cloud Crystal with money?"
"Merchant Guild of Tianxuan!"
The moment Xiang Yun said this, both Xiang Jinghong and Xiang Jinglei"s expressions changed, revealing expressions of shock!
Xiang Yun"s tone was rather clear, his eyes not flashing in the slightest. It was likely not that he was lying, and he had even said that Tianxuan Commerce was auctioning down an item like the Scarlet Fire Cloud Crystal.
The latter was the number one merchant guild in all of Merchant Continent. Even though the Scarlet Fire Cloud Crystal was valuable, it was absolutely not a rare item for such a huge being.
"Third brother, did you really buy this at the auction?" Xiang Jinghong still wanted to confirm something.It"s true! It"s even more real than real gold! Why would I lie to you all? When I checked, you all knew that when I heard that this thing was being auctioned off, I sent people to the Silver City to partic.i.p.ate in this auction. In the end, when I auctioned it off, I spent quite a bit of my savings. Xiang Yun said, somewhat aggrieved.
Hearing this, all the doubts in Xiang Jinghong"s heart were dispelled. Even the aura from his body gradually dissipated. It was obvious that they had misunderstood this little brother of his. Even though Xiang Jinglei was displeased, it was naturally not good for him to go on a rampage.
"Third Brother, how much money did you spend to be able to sell such a large piece of Crimson Fire Cloud Crystal?" Xiang Jinghong asked curiously.
"Uh …" Xiang Yun raised a finger casually!
"100,000 silver?" He didn"t even believe it when he said this number.
"Or a million silver?" Xiang Jinghong asked doubtfully.
Xiang Yun lightly shook his head, waving his finger as he smiled and said, "One million!"
"One million silver taels is so expensive?" Xiang Jinghong was a little surprised by his younger brother"s wealth and grandeur."It"s gold, my brother!"
"Pfft!"
"One million gold!"
The moment the word "gold" came out from Xiang Yun"s mouth, Xiang Jinghong almost choked to death from his own spittle. His entire being sank into an incomparably shocked state, and even the muscles on Xiang Jinglei"s face twitched violently.
"Where did you get so much money!" Xiang Jinghong could not help but ask in shock. Although they were the sons of the King, side by side, and of n.o.ble status, they naturally did not lack money.But to be able to take out one million gold taels in an instant, not to mention them, even the current Emperor would feel pity for their treasury. Yet their younger brother actually took out one million gold taels and bought a Scarlet Fire Cloud Crystal, this was simply too extravagant.
"Heh heh." At this moment, Xiang Yun revealed a complacent smile, "Second Brother, do you think that all these years, I"ve been living in the Qin Feng City like a beautiful snowstorm every day? I"m a businessman now, and the businesses in our Qin Feng City are flourishing every day."
I cannot say that my daily income is comparable to that of Dragon City, but it should be at least equal to the income of three county cities. Therefore, I have some savings in the past few years.
"This …" Xiang Jinghong was simply shocked by his third brother. He naturally knew what kind of business the latter operated in Qin Feng City. However, he had never imagined that such a place with fireworks could bring such great benefits.
"Humph!" "Indeed, it"s a piece of mud that can"t be used to support a wall. It turns out that it"s the dirty money from the meat business!" At this moment, Xiang Jinglei spoke with disdain and ridicule.
"Humph!" This time, Xiang Yun did not choose to swallow his anger. He stared straight at Xiang Jinglei, refuting him in an unrelenting manner.
"What do you mean the money from the meat trade? I spent it myself making money. Those brothel girls all volunteered to go this way. I didn"t force them, and instead gave them a mouthful of food to earn the highest salary in the brothels of the entire continent. If you, Xiang Jinglei, have the ability, then go and relieve those rich girls who have nowhere else to go and no food or clothing. Don"t just stand here with your hands on your hips and not let your waist hurt! "
"You!" Xiang Jinglei had not expected his third brother to not only not fear him, but his words were so sharp that he could not refute them at all. He could only stare viciously at Xiang Yun with a pair of bull-like eyes!
I guess you know that you don"t have the ability. With my ability to earn money, at least I didn"t even get a centimeter from the King"s Manor, and with the monthly supply that the King"s Manor gives you, you still have the nerve to tell me that I, a self-supporting moneymaking person, took out the money. It"s really the biggest joke in the world, and I"m not afraid of being ridiculed!
Xiang Yun"s words were carefree and carefree, loud and clear, causing him to admire himself somewhat. Xiang Yun also admired this little crown prince from the bottom of his heart. Although his habits of life were not very good, his business ac.u.men was truly unspeakable.
On the other hand, although the two of them had no habit of wasting money, their path of cultivation was a bottomless pit of money. The two of them still needed the enormous wealth of the w.a.n.g family to pave the way for them.
However, how irritable was Xiang Jinglei"s temper. Being refuted so aggressively by his trash third brother, he could not help but feel embarra.s.sed. The latter"s face immediately turned gloomy, looking like he was about to explode and beat him up again.
Seeing how he was pretending, how could Xiang Yun be at a loss like this? With a stride, he hid behind Xiang Jinghong.
"Second brother, quickly stop him. The boss is so angry that he wants to beat someone up again!"
Hearing this, Xiang Jinghong immediately had a wry smile on his face as he thought, You do indeed have a point, but you shouldn"t go against Big Bro like this. Aren"t you obviously asking for a beating!?
However, Xiang Jinghong still braced himself and advised, "Big brother, forget it. Third brother is still young and ignorant. You shouldn"t bother with him.""Humph, young and ignorant, this guy is about to become an adult and is an adult. Even if what he said is reasonable, if he dares to contradict his elder brother and disrespect his elder, it would be against the family rules. I must punish him today!" As Xiang Jinglei spoke, he took a step forward and reached out to grab Xiang Yun!
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. The three turned around and saw a servant hurriedly running over. He knelt before the door and said, "Eldest Prince, Second Prince, the prince invites you two to speak at the Soothing Heart Pavilion."Xiang Jinglei and Xiang Jinghong glanced at each other when they heard this. Xiang Jinglei asked, "Did Royal Father say what it was about?"
"Your highness didn"t say it, so I don"t know." The servant replied.
Xiang Jinghong asked, "The prince only wants me and Big Bro to go. Didn"t he ask Third Brother to go with him?""The prince only said that he wanted me to call the crown prince and second son over, but he didn"t mention anything about the crown prince."
Xiang Jinghong furrowed his brows and nodded, saying to the servants, "We understand. You can go now."
Then, Xiang Jinghong turned to Xiang Yun and said, "Third brother, let"s go together. You probably haven"t seen your father when you returned.""Second Brother, you don"t need to call Third Brother. Father won"t be happy to see him!" Ding Jinglei, who was at the side, mocked and ridiculed him.
"Don"t listen to your big brother. Father hasn"t seen you in over a year, so he must miss you a lot. Follow us." Xiang Jinghong said, looking at Xiang Yun with a face full of antic.i.p.ation.
However, Xiang Yun shook his head, saying with a faint smile, "Second Brother, you guys can go see him, but I won"t go. Big Brother is right, he definitely won"t be happy seeing me. I don"t want to cause trouble myself."
"Hmph, at least you know your own limitations." Xiang Jinglei laughed coldly.Seeing this, Xiang Jinghong knew that he was unable to persuade his younger brother out of it. The latter might seem casual, but in reality, he was filled with a stubborn resolution deep down in his bones.
After that, Xiang Lei and Xiang Jinghong left Fleeting Garden for the Heartbreak Pavilion. Xiang Yun walked out of the courtyard as well, taking Lin Wan"er for a stroll in the garden of the Duke"s Mansion. Xiang Yun walked in front while Lin Wan"er followed behind him.What Lin Wan"er saw was the crown prince"s carefree and happy figure, and what Xiang Yun saw was an invisible yet firm barrier in front of him.
That was the barrier between him and his royal father, something that could never be broken!
"Forget it, I was a fatherless person in my previous life. Now that I have a good brother, why am I still so unsatisfied? Don"t tell me that I still desire a father?" "How laughable." The corners of Xiang Yun"s lips curled into a mocking smile.
At this moment, the entire mansion was bustling with activity, the servants and servants of the mansion were bustling with work, arranging the entire mansion, making lanterns and decorations, laying banquets, cooking food, settling the guests, taking the gifts, and arranging the performance of the entire mansion could be said to be unprecedented in liveliness.
It was already evening, and the banquet was about to begin. In Xiang Yun"s room, he was seated cross-legged on his bed, his hands naturally resting on his knees. His eyes were closed, his expression calm!In the s.p.a.ce around Xiang Yun, there was an endless flow of cloud power slowly entering his body from all of his acupoints. There was a faint golden mark on his forehead, and the gathered cloud power was the densest.
After the cloud energy entered Xiang Yun"s body and entered his spirit root, it began to emit a faint spirit energy. The spirit energy entered Xiang Yun"s muscles, tendons, and bones, nourishing his body and nourishing his body, nourishing it, nourishing it, nourishing it, nourishing it, nourishing it, nourishing it, nourishing it, nourishing it, nourishing it, nourishing it, nourishing it, nourishing it, nourishing it, nourishing it, nourishing it!
Xiang Yun was currently cultivating the Art of Creation. Now that he had reached the martial pract.i.tioner realm, he could clearly feel that his cultivation speed was much faster than before.
Feeling the spirit root in his body continuously absorbing the external cloud energy, his body gradually getting stronger, Xiang Yun could not help but feel a sense of joy.
The path of cultivation is really amazing. I wonder when I will be able to reach the Huang Yun Realm, and I can be as strong as second brother and the rest!
Xiang Yun thought back to the time when his second brother had fought with his eldest brother, the two of them had seemed to be born to be strong, and he couldn"t help but feel a sense of longing and yearning for the future, waiting for himself to become strong as well. In addition to his Jin Yong Wu Shi martial arts skill, he would use the Six Pa.s.sages of Divine Sword and use the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms with a flip of his hand; how awe-inspiring would that be!
A knock sounded out from outside the door. Xiang Yun immediately opened his eyes, waking up from his cultivation.
"Your Highness, the prince"s birthday feast is about to begin. We can enter now." Lin Wan"er"s gentle voice came from outside the door.
"Alright, then let"s go!" Xiang Yun leapt off the bed and exited the room!
