Chapter 531: Chapter 248: You Call This Gentle? (Part 2)
"The six sword scrolls, each one has now been speculated to a high price of two billion."
"That expensive?"
"Expensive? You think itās expensive, I think itās expensive too. But no one holding the scrolls will sell them. Itās said that theyāve already been divided among several major forces, so shouting higher prices is useless."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener took it to heart.
Many contestants felt a surge of excitement upon hearing this and decided to ask Ye Qingzhou for an autograph.
The genuine sword scrolls are so valuable, even if Ye Qingzhouās autograph doesnāt have the same effect, it must be worth a lot, right?
The Dongji Kingdom is so vast, thereās bound to be someone rich but lacking in martial potential. Isnāt it nice to earn money from these rich brothers and sisters with Ye Qingzhouās autograph?
In the evening, when Ye Qingzhou and his teammates went to the buffet area for dinner, they encountered a large wave of enthusiastic "fans" asking for his autograph.
"Ye Sheng, Iāve watched your live stream, I even sent some gift presents, can you sign an autograph for me?"
"Ye Sheng, Iām also your fan! I even got the fan badge!"
The enthusiasm of the crowd left Ye Qingzhou somewhat puzzled. Am I this famous now? Why am I being asked for autographs at a competition?
It wasnāt until the evening when Huang Liwen also came to ask for an autograph that Ye Qingzhou learned his signature had been put on for over ten thousand yuan on Old Yeās platform by resellers.
Some autographs containing the character "sword" were exaggeratedly resold for hundreds of thousands, and indeed some rich brothers were willing to pay. Itās simply ridiculous.
"Old Ye, Iāve decided to change my name to Huang Jianwen. Hurry up and sign for me, Iāll put it on Old Yeās platform."
"Why not directly change your name to Huang Jianren instead?"
"Sure, Jianwen and Jianren, write me each one copy, Iāll put them both on the platform and earn twice the money. Just thinking about it makes me happy."
Huang Liwen chuckled gleefully.
For the sake of money, what is face anyway?
In response, Ye Qingzhou could only chuckle helplessly, casually writing him a few autographs and blessing words while teasing: "Youāre already supported by the Joyful Union Sect, do you still lack this little money?"
"Sigh, you donāt understand, a man needs his own private money."
Huang Liwen gleefully accepted the autographs, then informed Ye Qingzhou of some important information: "Iāve sensed that three True Words Nine-Character Seals are approaching us."
"All three at once?"
Ye Qingzhou was somewhat surprised: "How close are they?"
"The nearest one is around our hotel, probably a contestant for this competition or an accompanying teacher."
Huang Liwen stated seriously.
He specifically came to Ye Qingzhou to deliver this message.
"It seems this yearās āNational Martial Competitionā is truly full of hidden talents."
Having acquired the Dou Character Seal and Specific Character Seal, Ye Qingzhou understood the immense powers the seals contained.
"So, are we going to act?"
"Act what?"
"Snatch it, arenāt you trying to gather the Nine Character Seals to find the Holy Sword Xuanyuan?"
Huang Liwen was eager as if longing for chaos under the skies.
Ye Qingzhou gave him a sideways glance: "Can you be more civilized? Must you always talk about snatching? Canāt we first ask if the other party wants to sell it?"
"What if the other party doesnāt want to sell it?"
"Then we snatch it."
"..."
Huang Liwen speechlessly said: "You call this civilized?"
"Courtesy before force, how is that not civilized?"
Ye Qingzhouās tone was as if it was a matter of course, making Huang Liwen roll his eyes.
After that, the two disguised themselves and went downstairs.
Huang Liwen, following the sensation, found the closest target.
At this time, outside the contestant village hotel, the Xiurong First High School delegation was alighting from the bus, gathering for roll call under the guidance of the leading teacher.
Within the team, there was a particularly conspicuous male student.
Standing over two meters tall, with a significantly robust physique, and topped with a gleaming bald head, it was hard not to notice him.
Vajra Heh Han, a direct disciple of the current Sect Master of the Brahma Pure Sect, ranked eleventh on the Hidden Dragon List, renowned for his formidable horizontal training skills.
And it was on Heh Han that Huang Liwen felt the aura fluctuation of the Lin Character Seal.
Ye Qingzhou activated the Celestial Eye and instantly saw the prayer beads Heh Han was holding, on which one bead was the Lin Character Seal, and it was an unsealed Lin Character Seal.
"Sigh, this is really bad news. Heās already unlocked the seal of the Lin Character Seal. Chances are he wonāt sell it."
The value of martial arts divine techniques cannot be compared to mere money.
One should know that divine techniques can be passed down, continuously producing masters, bearing extraordinary strategic value for any martial arts school.
But money, once spent, is gone; itās incomparable.
"So, shall we act directly?"
"Be civilized; courtesy before force."
After saying this, Ye Qingzhou stepped forward and greeted Heh Han: "Hello, may I get to know you?"
Heh Han stopped, focusing his gaze on Ye Qingzhou.
With just one glance, amidst the galaxy of bright stars in Ye Qingzhouās eyes, he seemed to see an endless Sword Qi River surging toward him.
A master!
Heh Han, specializing in the Brahma Pure Sectās "Dragon Elephant Wisdom" Divine Skill, bore the dragon elephantās power and possessed prajna wisdom. Thus, apart from his astonishingly trained physique, his spirit was equally robust.
At this moment, on Ye Qingzhou, he sensed a novel, world-shocking Sword Intent.
Simply gazing at it gave him a spiritual sting, as if his soul was being persistently pierced and lacerated by the otherās sword intent, faintly causing pain.
