“What do you mean?” Bai Mengying’s eyes glistened with tears.

Noticing that, Bai Xingyuan hurriedly said, “I do not like Teng Yingjie either. Also, Grandpa won’t force you to get married. It is Su Yan who can’t compare with Teng on both talent and status. Of course, it doesn’t really matter. The point is the man who backs up Su Yan is Tang Yi, a supporter of the female asura who has a conflict with Zu Yan!”

“So what?” Bai Mengying got annoyed and said, “What does the old generation’s grudge have to do with us?”

“The old generation?”

Bai Xingyuan snorted, “Now Tao Tianhua who has a tough style of handling things is the young generation, and he intends to replace the old generation. Do you think we belong to the old generation?”

Bai Mengying was startled. The rising era of the Bais was too early so they were the old generation. If things went as what Bai Xingyuan said, the old generation was liable to be replaced in the future by the young generation led by Zu Yan.

This was, after all, an era in which the strong was respected. With sufficient resources one could be stronger. If Zu Yan had such ambitions, it would really make Bai Mengying’s scalp tingle. Huaxia Alliance belonged to everyone. How could it be controlled by such a person like Zu Yan?

The future setup was a mess, so n.o.body could see it through. His grandpa thought that it was unnecessary to become enemy with Tao Tianhua and his companions because of Su Yan.

"You should look at the big picture!" Bai Xingyuan sighed.

Bai Mengying was confused. She felt this world was a little bit strange. The world changed, so did the men.

At this time, Elder Liang looked at Su Yan with complex emotions, then he patted Su Yan"s shoulder and said, "Only if you have strong strength can you have the absolute dominance. Keep fighting, Su Yan!"

Su Yan nodded. Tao Tianhua and his companions left.

Currently, people from every major base were heading to Huaxia City. It was within a few days before Huaxia College opened the gate.

People around left quickly as if they were avoiding the dark monster and unwilling to get close to Su Yan.

"Why are you leaving so fast? I won’t eat all of you, will I?"

Su Yan was speechless. He stretched himself and said, "Elder Liang was right. It seems Tao Tianhua et al. have a deep foundation in Huaxia Alliance, I’d better be careful in the future!"

He wandered alone in Huaxia City which was a very large and lively city full of people hustling and bustling.

Su Yan"s mind was as calm as still water. Walking down the street alone made him incompatible with his surroundings.

All of a sudden, the communicator rang. Xia Yang"s great laughter came from the other side as soon as Su Yan answered, "Brother, I suppose that you have already arrived in Huaxia City. Thanks to you, I"m also a.s.signed to Huaxia City now."

Xia Yang talked a lot to Su Yan and then he said mysteriously, "Huaxia City has an auction, would you like to come here and have a look?"

Su Yan"s eyes lit up. Since he had nothing to do, he asked the address and hurried to the destination.

The auction took place at the headquarter of the Underground Chamber of Commerce. The main hall was quite luxurious and grand, with many cultivators standing inside. Su Yan looked around and then directly went to the box which Xia Yang had told him.

The moment Su Yan went in, Xia Yang"s loud voice burst into his ears, "Two ladies, this is my bro Su Yan who is the core disciple of Huaxia College."

"Hi there, Su Yan. We"ve heard so much about you."

The two charming women had fantastic figures and wore s.e.xy dresses, speaking to Su Yan in delicate and tender voices and looking at him with their alluring eyes. They almost fell into Su Yan"s arms.

As for them, the disciples of Huaxia College were all exceptional talents who usually were difficult to encounter and serve. They even couldn"t imagine one of the core members could come here.

The scene changed so quickly that Su Yan was overwhelmed. He felt the two women who were just like hungry wolves would soon swallow him, so he hurriedly gave an asking-for-help look to Xia Yang.

"Hahaha, don’t be so impatient, take it easy. You have frightened him and please just leave."

Two charming beauty left reluctantly, which made Su Yan took a deep breath. He said with a wry smile, "Xia Yang, you"ve frightened me!"

“I just want you to relax and give you a surprise.”

Xia Yang scratched his head, and then said gravely, “Su Yan, I’ve heard all about that, including what happened at the gate of the city. You are a true man. I will learn from you later.”

“Come on, stop it. Don’t make fun of me. Didn’t you notice that I am alone?” Su Yan shrugged.

Hearing that, Xia Yang scoffed and said, “That’s not a thing. Huaxia College, a place where all geniuses gather, is lack of top sources. A person who lives at the bottom like me doesn’t know what the upper level life is. Yet as long as you can surpa.s.s all the geniuses, you can be the genius of all geniuses!”

Su Yan smiled reluctantly. Then he frowned and asked, “Is there an intelligence organization in UCC?”

Xia Yang smiled after hearing this and said, “Of course, the Intelligence Department of UCC is the second to none. You can buy any information here if you want to know something. But one thing I have to say is that we only deal with information, not commodities.”

“Do you have any information about Zu Yan?” Su Yan squinted and asked.

“Don’t push me on the spot like this!” Xia Yang glared his eyes and looked stunned, “Who dares to sell the information of Warlord Zu Yan. Besides, it is impossible to have any information about him in UCC.”

Su Yan was silent for a moment and continued, “I’m looking for someone, could you help me?”

“Of course, just tell me the name and I can use all the resources of UCC to help you.” Xia Yang spoke with confidence.

“Su Bingshuang!” After a quite a moment of silence, Su Yan uttered a name, his eyelid twitching a bit.

Xia Yang was in a bit of a daze and thought that she had the same family name with Su Yan. He didn’t ask more but took out the communicator directly to contact with the Intelligence Department of UCC and let Su Yan wait.

Su Yan was on tenterhooks. He even didn’t want to look for Su Bingshuang because he was afraid of getting bad news.

Time lapsed. Su Yan’s mind was super tense. On the contrary, the auction was quite busy. The auction held by UCC attracted many cultivators. Though the scale of the auction was not huge, a lot of bigwigs came.

Su Yan got crystal clear eyes. He looked at the auction and the pa.s.sing crowd through the window, feeling extremely hard to calm down.

At that time, Xia Yang came to Su Yan and noticed the expression on Su Yan’s face. He hesitated for a moment, then smiled sheepishly, “We found nothing,” he said.

Hearing this, Su Yan clenched his fists and felt suffocating.

Xia Yang explained at once, “In such a case, the person you’re looking for is usually not recorded. After all, Underground Chamber of Commerce is impossible to record every resident of the whole Huaxia Alliance!”

Su Yan bowed his head. He and his sister had no blood relations.h.i.+p. However, recalling the lovely cute girl who had always followed him chirpily since they were young, he felt oppressed by the result and breathed heavily.

When Su Yan was woolgathering, someone appeared in a box on the top floor of this auction!

A lady in black dress lazily sat down on the couch. She got a graceful and charming figure, stretching her slender and snow-white legs. Her fine hand held a bronze-made goblet.

She was n.o.ble and graceful with rosy cheeks. Since she drank a little wine, her clear eyes were appealing like a blue lake, distinguished and enchanting.

"Creak!"

The door was pushed open, then the lady in black dress frowned and asked, "What"s the matter?"

The person who came in was the chief steward of Base No.9. He felt ashamed and apologetic because the lady didn’t like to be bothered, so he said hurriedly, "Someone is inquiring the top-secret intelligence about Underground Chamber of Commerce!"

"Who?"

The lady in black dress narrowed her eyes slightly. Top-secret intelligence was related with crucially important people. The intelligence regarded as the top-secret intelligence by Underground Chamber of Commerce was rare. Even she was unqualified to inquire such intelligences.

"Lady, the highest top-secret intelligence, in general, would always reply ‘nothing was found’ to subordinates."

Hearing that, she trembled. Such intelligence was too confidential to see, even to herself. Only people who were senior executives in Underground Chamber of Commerce had the qualification. Who were them? They were the three founders of UCC!

Xia Yang still didn’t know that the intelligence he inquired shocked the whole commerce. All parties involved were busy while the details about the intelligence were unknown.

“Su Yan, are you all right?”

Xia Yang said with a wry smile, “Although I don"t know the ident.i.ty of the person, you don’t have to worry. After all, our commerce isn’t omnipotent. Everything will be okay as long as you are strong enough.”

Su Yan stared at the auction with carved beams and painted rafters. “It’d be great if that is true,” he thought. His main fear was that they were gone...

“Sorry to kept you waiting, now let the auction begin!”

Then, there was a heavy voice from a middle-aged man in this auction. He was standing on the middle of the crystal platform followed by two beautiful maids.

The whole auction was quiet. Su Yan sighed and murmured, “My sister and other family members are certainly safe. So, cheer up. Being a stronger man is my most important task. Only by making a place in Huaxia City can I find out everything!”

Su Yan took a deep breath, scanning the whole auction with his eyes.

The first auction item, a pot of wine, stunned Su Yan because the flagon was carved of fine jade in the top grade. When it was taken out, it attracted all of present old drunkards’ eyes.

In the current earth, various good wines were everywhere, not to mention wines from the auction!

The lid was carefully opened by an auctioneer and the bouquet filled the whole auction room. Thus many alcoholics were swallowing madly as if they saw a unique beauty.

A fine fire of energy was burning up in the flagon like a blazing fire!

“The Monkey Wine!”

The auctioneer laughed and said, “The thirty-year-old Monkey Wine starts at the price of ten million Huaxia coins!”

“My G.o.d, it’s the Monkey Wine!”

It caused a sensation in the auction and even Xia Yang gasped in astonishment. It was one of the rarest precious wines. The process of brewing Monkey Wines was very difficult because it required a variety of valuable medicinal herbs, let alone the thirty-year-old Monkey Wine, which absolutely cost an astronomical price. Besides, it was not only a really good wine, but the vital essence it contained could be extracted to strengthen human body!

People in the auction began to bid. Monkey Wine possessed collectable value, which would increase with the extension of time.

Some drunkards almost fought with each other and the final transaction price was amazingly high - 180 million Huaxia coins.

Su Yan was shocked by the price. Was it made by wine, or money?

“Ok, next item, a 300-year-old ginseng!”

“The next one is a prescription of a first-level top medicine fluid.”

All kinds of precious treasure occurred here. Su Yan had gotten the Mountain Treasure, so he didn’t think highly of those normal things.

But when the thirtieth item was displayed, Su Yan felt excited inside his heart. To his surprise, Dragon Totem revived itself, and emitted puffs of heat to his heart.

“Is it an unknown treasure?”

His Dragon Totem was always quiet. Su Yan speculated that Dragon Totem had spiritual wisdom and could find the treasure in dust.

But he was astonished by the continuous rising of the heat, which eventually reached to the highest temperature that his arm was nearly cremated.

According to Su Yan’s present physical strength, the heat he could endure was absolutely not the same as last time when Dragon Totem guided him to the Mountain Treasure. What was the level of this treasure that it made the Dragon Totem emit such a strong heat?

“An unknown ore about 5.5 pounds! But it is extremely unbreakable even under the destruction of super alloy. It is identified as a super grade ore!”

The item showed by the auctioneer caught everyone’s attention.

Super oar could be refined into super weapons!

Beast kings would also hesitate when facing such a weapon. So it was extremely expensive.

Su Yan stared at the black oar, which was guided by Dragon Totem. But what made it so special? Was it a magical iron?
