Chapter 2340: Chapter 2314: Comparing Wealth? (Three Updates) Chapter 2340: Chapter 2314: Comparing Wealth? (Three Updates) Furthermore, the auction was mainly about money, not strength, wasn’t it?
At that moment, the laughing lady said to Ye Chen with a smile, “My name is Li Yanxi.”
She pointed to the two men behind her, “The one in white is Ke Jing, and the one in black is called Xiang Yang.”
Ye Chen looked towards the two men, Ke Jing was fine, he politely nodded at him.
However, Xiang Yang had a look of disdain and did not even glance at Ye Chen.
Standing next to Ye Chen, Chen Zhifan’s expression changed after Li Yanxi introduced herself!
He looked at Li Yanxi and asked in disbelief, “Are you Li Yanxi of the Ancient Donglin Li Family, Ke Jing of the Lifeless Sword, and Xiang Yang of the Ghost Sword from the Nangang Xiang Family?”
Li Yanxi nodded and said with a smile, “Yes, that’s us.”
It’s no wonder Chen Zhifan was taken aback, the backgrounds of these people were extraordinary, especially the petite lady Li Yanxi!
The Donglin Li Family was not only one of the strongest families on Lingwu Continent but also regarded as the head of the Ten Great Families!
The so-called ‘Ten Great Families’ were the most powerful family forces from various divisions of the Lingwu Continent, north, south, east, and west!
These families had longstanding heritages, some even more ancient than many sects within their domains.
Among them, the Donglin Li Family had the oldest history and the most formidable heritage!
Furthermore, Li Yanxi was not only the legitimate daughter of the current family head of the Donglin Li Family but also a genius ranking seventh on the Profound Ascension Rankings!
Although Ke Jing of the Lifeless Sword did not have a terrifying family background like Li Yanxi, he possessed a mysterious heritage known as the Lifeless Sword.
This person was gentle and courteous, ordinary in appearance but possessed the demeanor of a modest gentleman; he usually avoided conflicts and never drew his sword unless necessary. But! Once he drew his sword, it meant that either his opponent or he himself must die!
That’s why he was known as the ‘Lifeless Sword,’ Ke Jing ranked tenth on the Profound Ascension Rankings!
Don’t underestimate the tenth rank; Ke Jing had no family background at all! He even hadn’t joined any sect! In terms of talent, he was almost comparable to Li Yanxi.
That man in the black robe, Xiang Yang, and Xiang Hai, who had taken advantage of Song Rou during the reception, were biological brothers, also from the Nangang Xiang Family. However, despite being blood brothers, they were worlds apart in terms of appearance, talent, and strength!
Xiang Yang had slightly dark skin, was tall and straight, with a slightly sharp chin and handsome features mixed with a trace of wicked charm. The most famous heritage of the Xiang family was a family sword technique, which when cultivated to a very high realm, was said to unleash a blow as if thousands of ghosts descended upon the world!
Thus, Xiang Yang was called the Ghost Sword.
This time, he was not here under the identity of a young master from the Xiang Family but as a genius from the Profound Ascension Rankings like Ye Chen, ranked twelfth!
However, Ye Chen did not know any of this, nor did he care about it, and simply asked faintly, “Hello, do you need something?”
Just as Li Yanxi was about to speak, Xiang Yang behind her coldly interjected, “What does Yanxi have to talk about with someone like him?”
Li Yanxi looked back at Xiang Yang with a slight displeasure. Although Xiang Yang was her friend, he didn’t need to be so overbearing, did he?
Did she need his permission and approval to greet someone or speak to them?
Ke Jing shook his head, knowing it was about to start again.
Actually, the main reason Xiang Yang came to attend the Tianchen Auction this time was for Li Yanxi; otherwise, he could have just let his younger brother Xiang Hai represent the Xiang Family.
He followed because he was worried about the Tianchen Auction, as there were too many geniuses and celebrities, and he couldn’t guarantee that no one would target Li Yanxi; he was somewhat uneasy.
Secondly, he wanted to bid on a few gifts for Li Yanxi at the auction!
Although he and Li Yanxi had known each other since they were young, and he had always shown affection towards her, Li Yanxi had never realized his feelings for her!
So this time, he planned to confess to Li Yanxi.
Previously, they all had gotten along well, and Ke Jing was their friend. He knew Ke Jing had no special feelings for Li Yanxi, and it seemed like Li Yanxi was not interested in those celebrities and geniuses who came to meet her.
Xiang Yang had been secretly pleased about it!
Who would have thought that after seeing Ye Chen yesterday, Li Yanxi suddenly showed a bit of interest in him!
How could Xiang Yang stand this?
He was very jealous, especially toward the women he liked!
“Oh?” Ye Chen looked at Xiang Yang with amusement, “Young Master Xiang, what kind of person are you referring to when you say ‘my kind’?”
Xiang Yang was stunned; he hadn’t expected Ye Chen to talk back to him?
Immediately, he approached Ye Chen with a cold smile and said,
“Young man, did you say yesterday at the party that we wouldn’t be able to buy anything today? Haha, that’s indeed very arrogant. I even admired you for it.
But talking is one thing and doing it is another. Do you know that? You think beating an Xu Sheng makes you unbeatable?
Xu Sheng is merely trash in our eyes. You dared to say so because you still don’t know who we are, right? Showing off wealth in front of us? It’s laughable. No one has ever dared to flaunt their wealth in front of the Ten Great Families!”
After saying that, he gave Li Yanxi a meaningful glance, clearly telling her not to be fooled by this young man’s performance; he was just pretending!
However, Li Yanxi had no reaction at all, simply because she didn’t think Ye Chen was pretending.
There wasn’t much basis for her belief; it was just her intuition.
If she had to say why – it was because she felt Ye Chen was very much like her!
Both had an innate pride.
Seeing Li Yanxi’s expression, Xiang Yang’s face darkened even more.
And Ye Chen just nonchalantly shrugged and said, “If thinking that way makes you happy, then suit yourself. Still, the same words apply – if you can bid on any treasure at the auction, I concede.”
Although Ye Chen wasn’t mocking him, this indifference and the complete disregard for his words infuriated Xiang Yang even more. What was more critical was that Li Yanxi seemed to slightly favor Ye Chen?
He shouted loudly, “What are you pretending to be? I have already looked into your background. You are just from the Mystic Moon Sect who entered the Divine Fire Academy and dare to show off wealth in front of us? Let me guess, how much funding did your dean give you? Two million Divine Cloud Stones? At most not more than three million, right?
That’s all the funds your Divine Fire Academy has, right? Do you really think you have the capital to compete with us? Do you know how terrifying the assets of the Nangang Xiang Family are?”
“Oh?” Ye Chen looked intrigued, “How terrifying are they? I’m actually curious.”
