"What's wrong?" Hearing Ye Mu murmur, Yun Xiaowan couldn't help but wonder.
After Ye Mu stared at the middle-aged figure for a few seconds, he looked away.
"It's nothing." Ye Mu said lightly. Although he could feel Ye Yang still looking at him, he did not want to have any more contact with the Ye family.
Knowing that Ye Mu might be in a bad mood after seeing everyone in the Ye family, Yun Xiaowan said nothing.
In the field, the competition between the three major families for the four elixirs finally came to an end. Ye Congyun bought them for 3,600 spiritual stones.
Although the elixir was photographed, there was still no joy on Ye Congyun's face.
As he sat back down, Ye Yang, who was behind him, quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words to him, and then Ye Mu felt a few eyes looking at him.
He stepped back and avoided several glances. Of course he knew who those glances came from. Ye Yang would definitely tell Ye Congyun after seeing him.
The people just now must be Ye Congyun and the elders of the Ye family, and Ye Mu does not want to have anything to do with them anymore.
"Let's change places." Ye Mu said.
Looking at Ye Mu's expression, Yun Xiaowan nodded: "Okay."
Then he took Ye Mu to choose a darker place in the corridor above, which just blocked the sight of everyone in the Ye family.
And in the field, after taking out the four elixirs, another elixir was added.
Ice Flame Flower, a fifth-grade elixir, has the effect of warming the meridians and nourishing the spirit. The starting price is just two thousand, and Ye Mu was secretly shocked when he heard it.
Two thousand medium-grade spiritual stones were equivalent to what he had harvested in the Yanshan Mine in the past few months.
So when the price of this thing came out, no one present said anything.
It's not that this thing is too expensive to buy. After all, there are many forces with good foundations present. The main reason is that this thing is not cost-effective.
Although the Ice Flame Flower is a fifth-grade elixir, its main function is to nourish the spirit, which means that it is a rare treasure for those who practice spiritual power. For ordinary people, it can only warm and nourish the meridians.
Not significant yet.
So it seemed a bit useless, but after all, this thing was of high quality, so after a period of silence, someone made an offer.
When Huang Zheng saw someone bidding, he asked everyone, but when no one said anything, he reluctantly took the elixir out.
After that, there was another auction of two elixirs, which caused competition among some stronger forces. After several times, Ye Mu's monster crystal core was finally obtained.
"Everyone, these are the crystal nuclei of three fourth-level monsters. They belong to the red-faced ghost fox, thunder demon ape, and green-horned tiger. The starting price is three thousand spirit stones." Huang Zheng said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone in the audience was also in an uproar. The fourth-level monster was a monster. In Fengtian City, only a handful of people could kill such a monster.
Apart from the city lord, there are probably only some instructors in the academy. Many people present thought so.
After all, the fur, blood, and flesh of monsters in the same realm are stronger than humans. It is extremely difficult to fight with them, let alone kill them.
The heads of the three major families looked at the demon cores on the stage and couldn't help showing solemn expressions. They thought they were strong men from outside the city.
The fourth-level demon core contains extremely pure and huge energy. If it can be absorbed, the strength will definitely increase a lot. However, this energy is so violent that anyone who dares to absorb it will undoubtedly seek death.
So we can only try to channel the energy out of it, or directly refine the demon core into elixirs.
"Fat Huang, can you sell these three demon cores separately? I only want one of them." A voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone looked around and saw a man in his thirties with a somewhat unruly look on his face.
"It's okay, but the price is not that cheap." Huang Zheng still smiled after hearing this.
The man smiled when he heard this: "I want the demon core of Qingjiao Si, you can tell me the price."
"Start at one thousand eighty." Huang Zheng still had that smiling look.
"Two thousand, I want it!" the man shouted softly.
Seeing how decisive the man was, Huang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he said: "This friend bids two thousand, is there anyone else who bids higher?"
There was a moment of silence.
After seeing that no one responded, Huang Zheng also secretly cursed that he had lost money and should have asked for a higher price.
The remaining two monster cores were obtained by two alchemists respectively, so the three monster crystal cores were sold for a total of about 8,000 spirit stones.
Ye Mu was slightly happy after hearing the price. Even if the chamber of commerce's transfer fee was deducted, he would still get more than 7,000.
"After this is over, I will take you to get the spirit stone." Yun Xiaowan said with a smile.
"Yeah." Ye Mu responded, a little impatient, and hurriedly got the ice spirit beard. He also had some small expectations for that spiritual technique.
While Ye Mu waited anxiously, the auction finally ended after two items.
The latter two items were the focus of this auction, and the three major families determined their ownership after a fierce battle.
Ye Mu, on the other hand, has no interest in those two things. At this time, he just wants to get heavy spiritual stones and exchange them for medicinal materials to practice spiritual arts.
As Yun Xiaowan came to a VIP room at the back, Ye Mu saw Zheng Shuo, and in addition there were two women.
The woman in front was dressed in white, with a distinguished temperament, a gentle smile on her face, and her eyebrows were vaguely similar to Yun Xiaowan. She was the president of the Yunzhong Chamber of Commerce - Shang Qingya.
The woman behind was about the same age as Yun Xiaowan. She was dressed in blue. She had a pretty face, fair skin, and bright eyes. She looked at Ye Mu who walked in.
"Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce." Ye Mu quickly cupped his hands.
Hearing Ye Mu's name and looking at the somewhat reserved Ye Mu, Shang Qingya's eyes flashed with displeasure.
Yun Xiaowan saw Shang Qingya hugging the latter's arm, and the latter also had a look of helplessness on his face.
"Xiao Mu, you haven't been to my place for a long time. Wan'er always talks about you at home." Shang Qingya said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ye Mu also smiled awkwardly, while Yun Xiaowan's face turned slightly red.
"Old Zheng, give him the things." Shang Qingya said to Zheng Shuo.
Hearing this, Zheng Shuo took a bag engraved with runes from the table behind him and handed it to Ye Mu.
"I'll give you this space bag. The spiritual stones and the elixir are all in it." Shang Qingya smiled.
Ye Mu took the space bag and put it on his waist, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, President of the Chamber of Commerce."
"You kid would never be so polite before. What kind of trouble are you making now? Huh?" Shang Qingya frowned slightly and reached out to pinch Ye Mu's ears.
hiss.
"It hurts, it hurts, Aunt Qing, please let go." Ye Mu shouted, covering his ears.
"Pfft."
Seeing Ye Mu's look, Yun Xiaowan couldn't help laughing, and the girl in blue behind her couldn't help laughing.
"This is ridiculous. You have to put on an airs when you come here." Shang Qingya took back her hand, with a smile on her face and a look of satisfaction in her eyes.
Ye Mu has a good relationship with Yun Xiaowan, and it turns out that because of the Ye family's business dealings, he often comes to the chamber of commerce, so he is relatively familiar with Shang Qingya. His somewhat polite names before clearly displeased her.
Looking at Shang Qingya's expression, Ye Mu felt a little helpless and was about to hand over his hand. Shang Qingya raised his eyebrows at the situation.
Ye Mu quickly took a few steps back: "Uncle Zheng, I'll leave first. Aunt Qing, I'll visit you often in the future."
After saying that, he quickly turned around and left. Seeing this, Yun Xiaowan also planned to chase after him, but Shang Qingya grabbed her arm.
"I just thought about leaving as soon as I came here. Is this boy Ye so good?" Shang Qingya said with a smile.
"Mom, what did you say?" Yun Xiaowan said angrily with a slight blush on her pretty face.
Looking at Yun Xiaowan's face, how could Shang Qingya not understand her daughter's thoughts.
This Ye Mu has a good talent. I don't know what that old guy Ye Congyun thinks. Looking at Ye Mu's leaving back, Shang Qingya sighed secretly.
…
When Ye Mu left the corridor at the back, he saw several familiar figures walking towards him, so he quickly opened the door and entered a room next to him.
Fortunately, there was no one else in the room. After Ye Mu saw everyone from the Ye family passing by, he left the room and walked out of the chamber of commerce quickly.
When Ye Mu walked outside the Chamber of Commerce, he saw a strong figure, it was Ye Yang, who had obviously been waiting for him here.
"Uncle Yang." Ye Mu looked at Ye Yang not far away and smiled slightly.
"Then we already know about Ye Xiao's secret attempt to harm you." Ye Yang said, a coldness flashing across his face.
"They did it very secretly, how did you know?" Ye Mu said.
"It's that boy Ye Chang. He told me the news after he came back." Ye Yang said.
Hearing Ye Yang's words, Ye Mu couldn't help but be a little stunned. Ye Chang is really... I don't know how to describe him.
"Hmph, he still has some conscience." Ye Yang snorted coldly.
Then he said again: "The head of the family knows that you don't want to see him, so he asked me to come and take a look. I will be relieved to see that your cultivation has recovered."
"I'm fine. You can go back, Uncle Yang." Ye Mu waved his hand and said.
"Actually... the head of the family is also in a difficult situation, don't blame him." Ye Yang said.
Hearing this, Ye Mu frowned and felt inexplicably upset. He waved his hands to Ye Yang and said, "Okay, I understand. You can go back."
Seeing this, Ye Yang couldn't say anything more, so he could only turn around and leave, his back a little lonely.
"Hey, go back and tell the old man to be careful and watch out for the great elder."
When the voice came, Ye Yang turned slightly, only to see the young man say something lazily, then turned and left.
Looking at the back of the young man who was holding the back of his head with both hands and pretending to be relaxed, Ye Yang couldn't help but feel happy, and with some joy, he turned around and walked away to the Chamber of Commerce.
And Ye Mu was walking alone on the road in the city, feeling a little inexplicable.
He didn't know his origin, but he had been in the Ye family since he could remember. Ye Congyun was like a father to him, although the two of them had never been treated as father and son.
At that time, Ye Congyun did not oppose the decision of the family elders, but instead acquiesced to Ye Tingyu's request.
Although he did not fully agree with the elders' decision in his heart, his silence and hesitation made Ye Mu feel chilled.
And this complex emotion has been buried deep in Ye Mu's heart since he left the Ye family.
Seeing everyone in the Ye family today, especially Ye Congyun and Ye Yang, Ye Mu didn't know how to face them. He could only avoid them as much as possible, but to his surprise, he was blocked outside.
Ye Mu felt a little depressed along the way. When he returned to the academy, Ye Mu found a rest room, handed over the spirit stone, entered it, fell on the bed and fell asleep.
