Chapter 816: Chapter 25: Master Lin

“Look quickly, it’s the Director Jiang Li of the auction house coming down.”

…

Seeing Jiang Li, this great figure descending, the auction house’s first-floor lobby instantly became lively.

The auction house’s first-floor lobby has many counters selling various precious treasures, so it was bustling with activity.

As the highest responsible person of the auction house, Jiang Li’s every action naturally attracted attention.

But soon, many people discovered something shocking.

Jiang Li was cautiously accompanying another cultivator.

What is the identity of that cultivator?

“Seems to be Inspector Jiang Chao.”

“No wonder, if it’s the Inspector, then the power is immense, controlling the fate of these directors of auction houses.”

“I know this Jiang Chao, he belongs to the Jiang Family’s direct lineage, while Jiang Li is just a side branch. Now Jiang Chao serves as the Northern Seventy-two States Inspector, truly high-ranking and powerful.”

…

Many people were discussing.

In their eyes, Jiang Li was already a prominent figure.

Even more so was Jiang Chao?

These people were all guessing what Jiang Chao and Jiang Li, these two great figures, were doing coming down.

“Inspector and Director have arrived.”

As they reached the entrance of the VIP Room, Steward Li announced.

Upon hearing the word “Inspector,” everyone in the VIP Room was suddenly shocked.

Everyone naturally understood what the word “Inspector” represented.

It meant the absolute upper echelon of the auction house.

“Your subordinates greet the Inspector and Director.”

Elder Lui and Steward Wang quickly stepped forward to salute.

“Uncle Jiang….”

Seeing Jiang Chao, Ouyang Qian’s eyes suddenly brightened.

Ouyang Qian’s uncle was acquainted with Jiang Chao, and three years ago when he followed his uncle to the Overseas World, Jiang Chao had hosted them.

“Are you Li Shixun’s nephew?” Jiang Chao asked with surprise, recalling this person vaguely.

Seeing himself remembered by Jiang Chao, Ouyang Qian appeared ecstatic and quickly nodded, saying, “Yes, my uncle is Li Shixun. Three years ago during our visit to the Overseas World, we visited Uncle Jiang together with my uncle.”

In stark contrast to Ouyang Qian was Steward Li, Murong Xue, and Song Ziliu.

Their faces suddenly turned pale.

Jiang Chao was the Inspector.

An elevated figure.

Normally, they wouldn’t even have the opportunity to meet such a person.

This man was actually a friend of Ouyang Qian’s uncle.

Thus, the outcome of today’s VIP Room dispute seemed settled.

They would likely be driven out, right?

Outside the VIP Room, many pointed fingers, and if indeed driven out, they would lose face completely.

For cultivators, face is the ultimate concern.

Why else would the saying go, “One breath for humans, one incense for Buddha”?

Seeing Ouyang Qian’s relationship with the Inspector, Jiang Li knew how to handle this affair.

Jiang Li glanced lightly at Elder Lui and said, “Elder Lui, explain what’s going on with this issue.”

Elder Lui hurriedly said, “It’s Steward Li who doesn’t understand the rules, openly seizing the VIP Room already used by Steward Wang. And the people around Steward Li are also arrogant, trying to forcibly expel Steward Wang’s guests when Steward Wang didn’t yield the VIP Room. Truly outrageous.”

Elder Lui, being quite shrewd with age, directly twisted black and white, as this matter seemed settled in his eyes. Lin Feng and co against Ouyang Qian and his group?

It’s simply overestimating oneself.

Jiang Li said sternly, “Steward Li, do you acknowledge your guilt?”

Steward Li’s face turned pale, and with a thud, his body collapsed completely to the ground.

He was speechless and unable to argue.

As anyone could see, Jiang Li had already sided with Ouyang Qian and his group on this matter.

He was thoroughly finished.

Steward Li sighed.

He was already thinking of an escape route, where to seek new employment if driven out of the auction house.

Finding another job as an auction house steward.

Would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

This cultivator world is so cruel.

Cultivators need to find backing.

Otherwise, Loose Cultivators find it hard to survive.

Steward Li naturally understood this, and couldn’t help but worry about his future.

…

Meanwhile, Ouyang Qian, Steward Wang, and others were displaying mocking expressions.

Ouyang Qian looked at Lin Feng with even more provocation in his eyes.

Boy, fighting against me?

Who do you think you are?

Ouyang Qian and others were eagerly waiting for Lin Feng and his group to be expelled.

At this point, Lin Feng smirked and said, “Jiang Chao, is this the modus operandi of your auction house?”

Jiang Chao?

That boy dared to directly address the Inspector by name?

The surrounding cultivators were dumbfounded.

Even Jiang Li and others were stunned.

Murong Xue, Song Ziliu, and others were so scared their faces turned pale, had Lin Feng lost his mind?

Daring to show such disrespect to the Inspector?

Ouyang Qian, however, was internally ecstatic, “This boy is seeking death, daring to call the Inspector by name. Showing such disrespect to the Inspector from the Jiang Family, this matter won’t end like this. The Inspector’s dignity can’t be challenged.”

In Ouyang Qian’s mind, Lin Feng was doomed.

Upon hearing this, even Jiang Chao was filled with rage.

A person from a small place, small family, dared to call his name directly?

No respect for him?

Jiang Chao looked coldly at Lin Feng.

Huh.

Something’s off.

This person seems somewhat familiar?

Jiang Chao’s mind was puzzled.

Suddenly, Jiang Chao recalled a young lord from the East Sea World more than a year ago.

Though only meeting once.

The impression he left was too profound for Jiang Chao.

That young lord had become a Great Elder of the Spirit Array Master Guild over a year ago.

Barely into his twenties, he was already a Great Elder of the Spirit Array Master Guild, with an unlimited future ahead.

He could potentially become one of the Captains of the Spirit Array Master Guild, by then, even the Jiang Family would need to actively show favor to such a figure.

The immense power of the Spirit Array Master Guild is unpredictable to outsiders, only core figures like Jiang Chao in the Jiang Family understood how terrifying it is.

That young lord was someone even Uncle Jiang Tiandou deliberately befriended.

So, even after just one encounter.

And more than a year having passed.

Upon seeing Lin Feng again.

Jiang Chao still remembered.

Jiang Chao was internally shocked.

He never imagined that such a great figure like Lin Feng would come to the impoverished land of East County Divine Land?

Perhaps for travel?

Everyone had different thoughts looking at Lin Feng, especially seeing the anger on Jiang Chao’s face, many knew Lin Feng was finished.

But no one anticipated.

The next moment.

Jiang Chao quickly trotted over to Lin Feng’s side, bowing like a junior to a senior.

After respectfully bowing, Jiang Chao cautiously said, “Master Lin, how did you come to East County Divine Land? Before leaving the East Sea, I repeatedly heard Uncle mention you.”

What is going on?

Everyone was stunned.

Jiang Chao.

Core member of the Ancient Jiang Family.

Northern Seventy-two States Inspector.

Why would such an elevated figure salute the young man like this? And with such caution?

Could it be that this young man has an even more terrifying background? Forcing Jiang Chao to handle delicately?

Thinking of this, many were shocked beyond belief looking at Lin Feng, everyone was guessing Lin Feng’s identity.
