I Inherit An Auction House At The Start, Trillion Times Rebate!

Chapter 185: Expelling Wolves By Steering Tigers

Qing Wen and Qing Wu’s voices interrupted Jiang Xiyue’s thoughts.

“What did you say?” She stood up with a hint of shock and anger on her face.

“It’s true. He’s waiting outside the ship. Princess, please open the protective barrier and let Elder Luo in,” Qing Wen said.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiyue reached out and took out a token. She pinched it with her fingers, and in a moment, the transparent light shield outside the ship disappeared.

In the next moment, an old man appeared in front of Jiang Xiyue and knelt down.

“Okay, you don’t have to kneel when we’re in private. Elder Luo, why did you leave your post without permission?” Jiang Xiyue’s face was full of anger.

It was okay for her subordinates to have their own ideas, but she was very unhappy that they went against her orders.

“Forgive me, princess. However, there’s a reason for this.” Luo Haoyu kowtowed and told her the whole story of how he met Lin Mo.

“A tier 8 cultivation array?”

“How is this possible...”

Whether it was Qianqian, Qing Wen, and Qing Wu, none of them believed it.

Even Jiang Xiyue did not believe it. It was already very surprising that Lin Mo could take out the tier 7 Mysterious Heaven Array.

Now, Luo Haoyu had come with a tier 8 cultivation array. This shocked her.

One had to know that even in Jingdou, it was very rare to see a tier 8 cultivation array.

Once it appeared, it would either be taken away by a powerful existence, or it would be firmly controlled by the imperial family.

Before the emperor abdicated his throne, it was impossible for such a treasure to be circulated, especially to these princes.

Once they had such a high-level array, the forces they nurtured would grow and even threaten the imperial army.

This was not allowed. Even the crown prince could not have it.

Although the emperor allowed them to fight, he would not allow anyone to destroy the foundation of the Yanhuang Divine Empire.

“There’s also the tier 8 golden armor... The tier 7 movement technique, Swimming Dragon Steps...”

Jiang Xiyue looked at the two treasures with a hint of joy in her heart.

Was Lin Mo showing concern for her?

“Princess, what are you smiling about?” Qing Wu asked, puzzled.

Although she had obtained such treasures, it was rare to see such a genuine smile!

“Qing Wu, you’re still young. It’s normal that you don’t know these things,” Qianqian said with a faint smile.

Back then, the princess had gone to look for Lin Mo and had not returned all night.

Only the princess and Lin Mo probably knew what had happened.

“Qianqian... What nonsense are you talking about?” Jiang Xiyue’s pretty face was slightly red as she accepted the three treasures.

“Elder Luo, what else did he say?” Jiang Xiyue asked.

Luo Haoyu thought for a moment and said, “He said that before Jingdou’s Dao Conference begins, he will take down the Ancient Flame City.”

These words were very arrogant. The Ancient Flame City was an important city, an indispensable existence in the Yanhuang Divine Empire.

On the surface, it was the fourth prince and the crown prince who occupied Ancient Flame City.

However, these two people only occupied a part of the market of the Ancient Flame City in reality.

Due to their identities, the top families of Ancient Flame City did not dare to act rashly, so they had always existed.

“He really talks big...” Qianqian curled her lips.

However, she did not know whether this was arrogance or ability.

“I believe he can do it.” Jiang Xiyue smiled faintly. She did not know why, but she had more and more trust in Lin Mo’s ability...

“Princess, do I still need to go back and protect him?” Luo Haoyu asked.

He did not understand this kind of battle.

However, he was very confident in who to protect and who to assassinate.

“No need. Let him do as he pleases. Elder Luo, go and help me with another matter.”

Jiang Xiyue took out a scroll and directly tore it in half. She said, “Elder Luo, take the first part of the Mysterious Heaven Array to Jingdou. Change its name and sell it at a low price.”

“As for the second part, take it to Wushan City. Disguise yourself and show the second part. Then, purchase the first part at a high price.”

“Remember, you must ensure that the array is sold to the fourth prince.”

A plan slowly came out of Jiang Xiyue’s mouth.

Wushan City was the fourth prince’s territory. If a treasure appeared on his territory, he would definitely buy it at all costs.

Some time ago, the second prince had asked the emperor for a cultivation array book.

Unfortunately, the crown prince had interfered, and in the end, he only got a tier 6 top-grade array book.

Jiang Xiyue smiled and said, “The second prince has been longing for the array book. He has been sending people to keep an eye on the auction house. The first part will definitely be bought, but the second part is in the hands of the fourth prince.”

At that time, she did not have to do anything. The two princes would definitely fight over the tier 7 cultivation array book.

The crown prince was in charge of the country. If the two princes fought, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble. At that time, the crown prince would not be able to rest in peace.

“As expected of the princess. What a good plan!” After Luo Haoyu heard these reasons, he understood.

A worthless tier 7 cultivation array book would be able to restrain the second prince, the fourth prince, and the crown prince.

“Expelling wolves by steering tigers, killing three birds with one stone. The princess can use this time to build this tier 8 cultivation array...”

Qing Wen and Qing Wu’s face was filled with joy. What the princess lacked the most right now was time. Now, she could finally settle it.

“Go. After you’re done, remember to go to the Ancient Flame City and strike the forces there. Tell them not to make things difficult for Lin Mo. Put on a show and let others think that this matter has nothing to do with me...” Jiang Xiyue waved her hand.

“Your subordinate will go now.” After bowing, Luo Haoyu stood up and left.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiyue did not sit idly and look at the Swimming Dragon Walk that Lin Mo sent over. She was engrossed in it.

...

“Master, Ancient Flame City is ahead. The news of us coming here has probably been known by others long ago.” Duanmu Jia wiped the sweat on his forehead and said.

Lin Mo nodded. This was inevitable. Perhaps the assassins were already prepared.

“Big brother, Lil’ Die sensed that many people have killing intent toward you.” Lin Die pulled on Lin Mo’s sleeve and whispered.

She was a demonic beast and had a very strong sense of danger.

As soon as they approached the Ancient Flame City, someone had been watching them in the dark.

“It’s fine. They don’t dare to make a move in broad daylight.”

Lin Mo said indifferently.

This was the Ancient Flame City. Although those large factions and the imperial family knew what he was here for, the small and medium-sized powers did not know. They only knew that Lin Mo had appeared in Lin City, and he was very good at running an auction house.

At the moment, this person had come to Ancient Flame City to do business.

If Lin Mo were to be killed on the streets... Ancient Flame City’s reputation would also be ruined. If they could not protect the merchants, who would dare to come here to do business?

“Go buy a venue first, preferably a ready-made auction venue.”

Lin Mo said. No matter what, the auction rebate system was his trump card. As long as he sold treasures, he would be able to obtain cultivation resources.

After making some inquiries in Ancient Flame City, he found that there were three auction venues with poor management. One of the owners had even run away, and the salary of his servants had not been paid yet.

“Wanxiang Auction House looks pretty good. Why did its owner run away?” Lin Mo was in front of an auction venue and was a little puzzled.
