Chapter 330: The Auction Will Begin
“City lord, we have successfully won the first stage of the compet.i.tion. As for the second stage, it will depend on whether the auction can be successfully held.”
In the city lord’s residence, Victor faced Wei Heng and told him everything that had happened during the battle. Wei Heng was very satisfied.
“I heard that Chen Lianyi’s sword attack was extraordinary. Lin Bei, you’re not bad.”
“You flatter me, city lord. The only problem now is how many people will partic.i.p.ate in the auction and how much profit we can get from it. That’s the most important thing.”
“Don’t worry. The auction can be held as scheduled. According to tradition, you can also get half of the commission. Don’t look down on this 5%. If the auction is properly organized, 5% is also a significant amount of wealth.”
“Of course I understand this.”
Victor nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt the aura of several nascent soul realm cultivators sweeping over and heading straight for the city lord’s estate!
Wei Heng’s expression changed. He immediately took out a medicinal pill and stuffed it into his mouth. His vital energy and blood improved.
“Wei Heng! I need an explanation!”
As his voice sounded, four figures suddenly appeared in the city lord’s estate. They were all gorgeous. Their figures were voluptuous and beautiful. Even Victor could not help but be a little shocked when he saw them.
“So it’s all the ladies. I don’t know why you all suddenly thought of coming back to visit me?”
“Wei Heng! Logically speaking, the position of city lord should be pa.s.sed to Baizhuo. He’s the eldest son!”
“So what if he’s the eldest son? Those who are capable shall take over. Whatever Wei Baizhuo can do, Baishou can do as well! Whatever he can’t do, Baishou can!”
“Master, I only hope that my three poor children can have a way out.”
As the saying goes, three women for a show. How could these four beautiful women be just a show?
Victor, who was listening from the side, also sensed that something was wrong.
Wasn’t it obvious that they were trying to s.n.a.t.c.h the city lord position?
“Ladies, it’s not easy for you to come back, let’s not talk about such things anymore.”
“Wei Heng, don’t play tricks with me! I don’t know what’s wrong with this child, Baishou, but he insisted on staying in White Dragon City to be the city lord. So, let Baishou be the city lord. I will find a position for your child in the Central Plains Sect Alliance.”
As the person with the highest position among the four women, Lin Hui’s att.i.tude was very firm. She did not care about the others’ feelings.
“Ladies, do you really have to say these things in front of outsiders?”
Visibly, Wei Heng’s expression became more and more serious, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
“Wei Heng, I only want a word from you! The city lord position, are you going to give it to me or not?”
“Shut up!”
Wei Heng shouted loudly, glared at the women, and sneered, he said, “Aren’t the few of you a little too unbridled? From the beginning to the end, I was the only city lord of White Dragon City! Back then, when I founded White Dragon City, many parties opposed it, but the few of you factions had always tripped me up!
“Now, I’m about to die, and you want to jump out and get a share?
“Dream on! Even if I die, the city lord position will never be given to you! White Dragon City is my White Dragon City! Whoever dares to try and take it, I will not hesitate to chop off his hand!”
Among the six people present, Wei Heng was the strongest, apart from Victor. Although he was now critically ill, as the saying goes, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. With the four women’sstrength, they were no match for Wei Heng.
“Wei Heng! I think you’ve gone crazy! Do you still treat us as your wives?”
“It’s you who never had the confidence to treat me as a husband! Ever since Baizhuo and the others were born, don’t think that I don’t know about the dirty things you have done! Get lost!”
Wei Heng struck out with his palm, and violent spiritual power swept over, forcing the four women to retreat!
“Wei Heng! Just watch! Since Baishou can’t be the city lord of White Dragon City, then no one can!”
“Go ahead! Lin Hui, if you think that the reputation of the Central Plains Sect Alliance can scare me, then you’re too naive!”
Wei Heng sneered and did not say anything else, urging the ladies to leave.
After the vital energy of the few of them had completely disappeared, Wei Heng bent down, his face full of fatigue.
“My young friend, I’ve made a fool of myself.”
“Every family has their own difficulties, don’t take it to heart, city lord.”
“Well said. Every family has its own difficulties. After I die, the Central Plains Sect Alliance, Ao Lai Sect, Thunder Cliff, Qingcheng Sect, they won’t let White Dragon City Go.”
Wei Heng shook his head and sighed softly.
“Do you have any ideas, city lord?”
“Regardless of whether I have any ideas or not, White Dragon City will not allow anyone to interfere!”
Wei Heng’s eyes revealed a fierce gleam. He stared at the direction in which the women had left, and then his breathing became calmer and calmer.
“City lord?”
“My lord is asleep.”
The voice of Chang An caught Victor’s attention.
“What do you plan to do after the city lord pa.s.ses away?”
It had to be said that Chang An was indeed a good person. If he could stay by Wei Zihan’s side, it would definitely be like adding wings to a tiger!
“The four forces are eyeing at White Dragon City. I can’t leave at such a crucial time.”
“But you’re only in the core formation stage after all. Even nascent soul realm cultivators won’t be of any use in this battle.”
“Are you trying to persuade me to run for my life?”
“Of course not.”
“Even if it’s useless, I’ll stay. What about you? Defeating Chen Lianyi with a cultivation at the early stage of the core formation realm, your future achievements will be far more than that.”
“When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a path. When the boat reaches the bridge, it will be straight. When the time comes, there’ll always be a path.”
Victor sighed softly and pinched his brows.
“That’s true. Let nature take its course.”
..
After returning to Wei Zihan’s residence, Tie Zhan and the others had already decided on the list of people who would partic.i.p.ate in the auction. The venue, the planning, and everything else was ready. As long as the auction was successfully held tomorrow, Victor’s plan would be half successful.
“Young master, you’re back.”
Wei Zihan slowly stood up and looked at Victor, her face flushed red.
After she calmed down, Wei Zihan recalled her actions just now and could not help but blush.
An unmarried woman taking the initiative to hug a married man. If such a thing were to be spread out, it was inevitable that people would laugh at her.
“Yes… The city lord came to me to tell me some details about the auction. In addition, miss, you should also make plans to leave White Dragon City after the city lord dies.”
Hearing this, Wei Zihan was a little puzzled.
She had clearly taken the lead, so why did she suddenly need to leave?
“Just now, the forces behind your brothers came to show the city lord their might. Once the city lord dies, these four forces will most likely attack mercilessly. It’s fine if the city lord has a backup plan, but if not… I can’t stop nascent soul stage cultivators from attacking.”
“This… What should we do?”
It was not an easy journey, and Wei Zihan did not want to waste all her previous efforts.
“Now, we can only place our hopes on the city lord. Let’s see if he has any backup plans for miss to survive this calamity. Otherwise, we can only give up on White Dragon City and leave.”
