However, he only thought about it for a moment. In fact, he was still very happy to see that this old thing was no longer living in seclusion. Otherwise, according to this old man"s previous personality, it would not be easy to see him.
After an unknown amount of time, the auction finally ended with everyone"s reluctance.
After hearing Cheng Wu"s report on the auction"s results, uncle Long"s face was almost full of smiles.
He didn"t expect this! He didn"t expect that!
The 10 items prepared for the auction were all auctioned off, and almost all of them were sold at sky-high prices. This fact made uncle long very surprised.
At first, uncle long thought that it would be a great success if they could get five pieces. After all, the purpose of this first auction was to make the Yao clan tower famous. Therefore, they had launched a surprise attack and had not announced it to the public. However, he did not expect the result to be so gratifying.
In fact, the reason why all ten items were successfully auctioned off had a lot to do with many people contacting their families later on. This was also mainly because Cheng Wu had promised them that they would only need to pay off the auction funds before they left the store. Therefore, he had given them time. This was why the number of people partic.i.p.ating in the auction had increased.
However, Cheng Wu had also said that because it was the first day of business for the Yao clan, they would receive such treatment. In the future, such a thing would not happen again. After all, any auction house would only settle the goods with the money, and there was no such thing as payment after payment!
And Cheng Wu was not afraid that the item would be bought off because they could not afford it. Because in this auction, earning money was not the main purpose. They were just trying to cast a long line to catch the big fis.h.!.+ This bait was obviously very successful. After tonight, the Yao clan would truly be famous in the divine realm.
Just as uncle long and the others were filled with joy, a shrill scream suddenly entered their ears. Everyone"s expression changed immediately. W-what was that sound?
"Old man, is the soundproofing of your Yao family building that bad? This won"t do!" Ao Jie laughed and teased after hearing the voice.
"Go to h.e.l.l! The Yao family building"s soundproofing is pretty good, but the sound is too sharp, so no matter how good the soundproofing is, it can"t block it!" Uncle long said helplessly. Then, he instructed Cheng Wu,""Go and see what happened. Deal with it, so as not to disturb the other guests!"
"Yes." "Yes," Cheng Wu replied before turning around and leaving.
Ao Jie glanced at Cheng Wu"s back and looked at uncle long with a meaningful smile.
However, uncle long was very calm and composed. It was obvious that no accident could affect him.
Then, uncle long said to Ao Jie, who was full,""Old man ao, it"s getting late. I"ll get someone to arrange a room for you. You have a good rest!"
"What? You"re just letting me stay here?" Ao Jie said in disbelief.
"What else?" Uncle Long"s face was filled with a matter-of-fact expression.
"I don"t want to live here. I want to live with you." Ao Jie said. Once he said this, Leng ruoxue and the rest were in a mess again. These words, no matter how they were heard, were so ambiguous!
At the thought of this, Leng ruoxue and the rest turned their heads away, not looking at the two of them to avoid them from feeling embarra.s.sed.
"You"re staying with me? It was not impossible! "However, the money you paid is not enough, so ..." Uncle long did not finish his sentence. Instead, he looked at Ao Jie with a "you know it" expression.
"You"re into money?" Ao Jie"s anger rose again. This old thing knew better than anyone how to annoy him, but he could not do anything to him. This fact made him depressed.
"Yes, yes." Uncle long nodded his head vigorously. He did not mind Ao Jie"s comment at all. In fact, he was very happy! This meant that he had been very successful in ama.s.sing money.
"You ..." Ao Jie was at a loss for words. He glared at uncle Dragon for a long time before he reluctantly took out another storage ring and handed it to him.
When Liu Feng and the others saw this, they immediately wanted to bow down and wors.h.i.+p uncle long.
Uncle long took the ring and said to Ao Jie as if he was summoning a puppy,""Little ao ao, come with big brother!"
Little ao ao? Leng ruoxue and the rest were speechless. This form of address was too ... However, uncle long was rather calm. On the other hand, Ao Jie"s face was a little dark.
"Brother Xiaolong, let"s go!" Ao Jie gritted his teeth. Although he looked calm, his eyes that were spitting fire proved his anger.
"Hehe! Let"s go!" Uncle long did not mind being called little long long. Hence, he happily pulled Ao Jie back to the Leng family"s main residence. Leng ruoxue and the rest were thrown to the back of his mind.
When Leng ruoxue saw this, she felt helpless. Coincidentally, Cheng Wu came to report that the one who had let out the ear-piercing scream was the first elder of the Yao family. However, he had already warned the two of them. They would probably hold back and not go too far!
When they heard this, Leng ruoxue and the others left the Yao clan tower with boundless sympathy for the Yao clan"s first elder.
The next day.
Everyone was eating breakfast when they saw Cheng Wu rush into the dining room with a depressed expression.
"Chengwu, what happened?" Leng ruoxue asked indifferently.
"Miss, the Yao family has been rescued!" Cheng Wu said gloomily. His face was filled with self-blame.
"How could this be? Why haven"t we heard anything about it?" Leng ruoxue was a little surprised. Since when did the Yao family become so efficient, appearing and disappearing like a ghost? She was in disbelief.
"Yesterday, the servants who stayed at the Yao clan"s building were all drugged, so the Yao clan"s people were rescued very smoothly. Almost no one noticed, and they did not trigger our defensive formation." Cheng Wu explained.
"Oh! Did anyone get hurt?" Leng ruoxue asked with concern. It was fine to save the Yao family, but if someone hurt her people, she would never let them off.
"No one is injured." Cheng Wu hurriedly said.
"That"s good. " Leng ruoxue was relieved. Then, she turned her beautiful eyes to uncle long and asked,""Uncle long, the Yao family has been rescued. How should we deal with this matter?"
"What for? You"ll have to return in the same way he saved her!" Uncle long laughed evilly. Then, he glanced at Ao Jie and said,""Little ao ao, do you think what I said is right?"
"Yes, yes, that"s right!" Ao Jie nodded in agreement, his face was still gloating.
"You"re tactful, you traitor!" Uncle Dragon rolled his eyes at Ao Jie and said in an unpleasant tone.
"How am I a traitor? Didn"t you hand over all the money you earned?" Ao Jie said as if he had been wronged.
"Uh!" Leng ruoxue and the others were at a loss when they saw their reactions. What was going on?
