Chapter 324: The Treasury Was Stolen
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hearing Jiang Xiyue’s words, the faces of many people in the hall changed. Their eyes flickered, and no one knew what they were thinking.
Seeing that no one was talking, Jiang Xiyue looked up at an old man. The man immediately stood up from his throne and bowed.
Jiang Xiyue pointed at the old man and said, “This is Tang Chen, the steward of the Yuexuan Auction.”
After introducing him to Lin Mo, Jiang Xiyue asked, “Elder Tang, how is the Yuexuan Auction Now?”
“Reporting to the palace master, the situation is not very good. From the moment you made your move, the other princes were all targeting you for no reason.”
“Last month, the net income from the Yue Xuan auction was only 10 million low-grade spirit stones. After giving it to the guards to cultivate, there was nothing left.”
Tang Chen was a little hesitant. This was not even considered a profit. If this continued, the Yue Xuan auction would close in less than half a year.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiyue looked at Lin Mo. the latter smiled and said, “With me around, there’s no need to worry.”
He did not dare to say anything else. After all, there were quite a number of Nirvana Realm experts in the imperial city.
As for this auction, he did not have any worries. Since he could manage it perfectly, Jiang Xiyue didn’t need to worry about the problem of the spiritual stones at all.
Tang Chen was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Lin Mo with doubt in his eyes.
However, after seeing the trust in Jiang Xiyue’s eyes, he still didn’t say anything. He naturally listened to the palace master’s arrangements.
“Alright, I’ll leave the management of the Yue Xuan auction to you in the future.”Jiang Xiyue said with a smile.
“Elder Tang, Help Lin Mo. Trust him. He’s worth it.”
Jiang Xiyue continued to say, which made Lin Mo very surprised.
To arrange a Nirvana Realm powerhouse to help him right from the start, if he could not achieve anything, wouldn’t he lose face.
Tang Chen did not look unhappy when he saw this. He just looked at Lin Mo and wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
“Elder Tang, is there anything you want to say?” Jiang Xiyue could not help but be curious when she saw this.
Tang Chen was not the kind of person who enjoyed fame and fortune. As long as it was reasonable, he would agree to his arrangements…
“I will follow the Palace Master’s orders.”
Tang Chen bowed and said. Then, he said with a bitter smile, “The Palace Master didn’t know that when we went to the Qinghuai Holy Land to clean up the evil cultivators, the blood evil mercenary group took advantage of the situation and plundered several batches of our business groups.
“There is the shadow of the seventh prince behind this. I didn’t dare to act rashly, but all the people in the business groups have been killed, and the spiritual stones and resources have all been robbed.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiyue’s pretty face was filled with frost.
She clenched her silver teeth. She had long known that someone would take advantage of the situation when she left with her people. She did not expect it to be so soon.
“The seventh prince, huh? Yuan Cang of the Yuan Yang Holy Land was killed by Lin Mo. it’s normal for him to take revenge…”
Jiang Xiyue muttered to herself. Without resources, even if Lin Mo was managing the business, it would be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice…
Lin Mo sat beside her and frowned slightly. The business group had been taken away. This was not good news.
“I can solve the problem of resources,” Lin Mo said after thinking for a long time.
Although there were many people who could spy on him in the Imperial City, with the profits from the auction, he basically would not lack treasures.
“Hehe, I’ve always been curious about the origin of your treasures.”
Jiang Xiyue laughed lightly. From the time she first came into contact with Lin Mo, she had been curious about the origin of Lin Mo’s resources.
“Then I’ll leave it to you.”
She did not ask further. Everyone had their own secrets. In the future, when the time was ripe, Lin Mo would naturally tell her.
After leaving some instructions, Jiang Xiyue dismissed everyone.
At the same time, the news of Lin Mo becoming the new owner of the Yue Xuan auction spread.
At the same time, Lin Mo also spread the news that the auction would be held three days later. Some precious treasures that he had obtained from the ancient flame ruins would be auctioned.
She did not stay with Jiang Xiyue for long before she was summoned by the emperor. The two of them could only part ways.
After that, Lin Mo and Tang Chen left the Purple Moon Palace and arrived at the headquarters of the Yue Xuan auction through the teleportation array.
“Elder Tang, what other items do you have in the warehouse of the Yue Xuan Auction?” Lin Mo looked at Tang Chen and asked.
He was going to hold an auction three days later. With the ancient flame relic as the reason, many people would come.
Some unsellable treasures could also be auctioned off.
To him, even if they were auctioned off at the base price, it would still be a profit.
Tang Chen looked at Lin Mo. there was a hint of confidence between this young man’s brows. He had bragged about the development of the Yue Xuan auction and had even been able to suppress the crown prince in terms of resources…
He had doubts about such words because it was very unrealistic.
One had to know that the crown prince could mobilize the national treasury. Although it wasn’t much, it wasn’t something that the crown prince could compare to…
However, although he was doubtful, he still brought Lin Mo to the warehouse of the Yuexuan auction house.
The warehouse was very large, and there were many of them. Lin Mo first went to the medicinal field to check on the spirit herbs.
The fragrance assailed his nostrils, and the fragrance of various spirit herbs filled the air, causing him to be intoxicated.
“How can there be so few?” Lin Mo was stunned. This was an auction house that could establish itself in the imperial city, and there was also Jiang Xiyue’s business group collecting treasures all over the continent.
Now, although the medicinal fragrance was still there, there were only a few stalks of spirit herbs left.
The most precious one was only a first level spirit rank ice soul grass. Although it was precious, it was far from enough in the imperial city.
“What?”
Tang Chen was shocked, because the situation in the warehouse was completely different from what he thought.
“Elder Tang, you don’t know?” Lin Mo was stunned. What kind of person could steal spirit herbs right under Tang Chen’s nose?
“When the Palace Lord goes on an expedition, the various experts in the Purple Moon Palace’s territory naturally have to follow him. Although there’s a great array protecting them, they still have to be on guard.”
“This old man has been helping the Palace Lord Guard the Purple Moon Palace for the past few days.”
Tang Chen’s brows were tightly knitted together. The warehouse of the Yue Xuan auction had been stolen, and even the treasures bestowed by the Emperor had been lost…
“What a coincidence?” Lin Mo said. How did these people know the location of the treasures in the warehouse.
Furthermore, the timing was so good that they were able to steal the treasure without any effort.
“But, the news of the auction has already spread…”
Tang Chen said. Lin Mo had just become the venue owner, yet such a huge incident had already happened at the auction.
If he did not handle it well, then Lin Mo’s reputation would be ruined.
“This old man here has a few spirit rank cultivation methods and martial arts, all of which are part of my life’s collection. Young Master Lin, you should auction them off.”
After thinking for a moment, Tang Chen said. Due to his negligence, Lin Mo had fallen into a difficult situation, and he could not feel at ease.
“In addition, Yue Xuan’s formation covers a large area. Anyone who enters will leave behind traces that can not be erased in a short period of time.”
“It’s good that we can find out.” Lin Mo nodded, and his voice was a little cold.
The people of the imperial city were indeed not to be trifled with. The slightest carelessness would result in complete loss.
Jiang Xiyue had only taken her people away for a few days, yet even the Treasury had been stolen away.
“However, there’s no need for cultivation techniques or martial techniques. However, the rules of this auction have to be changed. The scale can not be too large. This time, only ten treasures will be auctioned off. Every single one of them is of high quality.”
Lin Mo said. To be able to be collected by Tang Chen, this treasure must be extraordinary. However, he had yet to reach that stage.
