211: The prince sells his sword to show his loyalty
“Of course!” Xie Weilou nodded.
“Forget it! Tonight, This Young Master, your expenses are all waived,” the middle-aged beautiful woman sighed softly.
It was clear that someone intended to freeload, bringing his brothers to eat and drink for free. How shameless!
“Heh! You said that yourself, so This Young Master won’t be polite,” a smile appeared on Xie Weilou’s face.
The middle-aged beautiful woman looked at Xie Weilou speechlessly, “This Young Master, can you put away your suona now?”
Xie Weilou put away his suona and looked at Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the others, “Tonight’s bill, White Jade Capital is paying. Brothers, if you want to eat anything else, just order it. Don’t be polite with me.”
“Hehe! Understood, understood,” Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the others immediately nodded, their smiles very wide. When it came to freeloading, they still had to look to This Young Master!
Xie Weilou said loudly, “This Young Master is in a very good mood tonight, and I plan to give everyone present a great opportunity.”
“Opportunity?” Everyone stared at Xie Weilou.
Xie Weilou directly pulled out the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow and said with a serious expression, “This Young Master wants to sell a saber, the one in my hand. This is a treasure.”
“Great Xia Dragon Sparrow!” The middle-aged beautiful woman’s gaze sharpened, and her eyes when looking at Xie Weilou held a hint of surprise.
This dissolute Young Master intended to sell the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow?
“......” Some of the guests present also stared at the saber in Xie Weilou’s hand with shocked expressions. This guy intended to sell this saber?
Xie Weilou looked at the middle-aged beautiful woman in surprise, “You recognize this saber?”
“This humble one has met some noble people and heard some things,” the middle-aged beautiful woman said in a deep voice.
She then asked, “This Young Master, do you truly intend to sell the saber?”
This guy couldn’t be drunk and doing something foolish, could he?
Such a divine weapon, whoever obtained it would guard it carefully. Yet, he actually intended to sell it?
Xie Weilou gently stroked the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, saying with a melancholic expression, “It’s just a broken saber. It’s useless to This Young Master now. Although this saber temporarily recognizes me, I haven’t dripped blood to make it my master. Before, in the imperial palace, This Young Master also met a noble person. She said this saber was inauspicious and might affect my relationship with the First Prince. Today, This Xie is selling the saber here to show my loyalty and my sworn allegiance to the First Prince!”
He threw the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow onto the table, and the table instantly developed dense cracks. He said in a deep voice, “This saber, This Young Master intends to auction it. The starting bid is three hundred thousand taels of silver. The highest bidder wins. If anyone is interested, you can all make a bid.”
Someone said in a faint tone, “If we buy this saber, will This Young Master go back on his word later?”
Xie Weilou immediately glared at that person, “What do you take This Young Master for? A dishonorable scoundrel? Since I’ve put this saber up for auction, it means I don’t want it. Furthermore, think about it yourselves, if you have the strength to acquire this saber, could This Young Master still take it back?”
A dishonorable scoundrel?
Heh!
He really knew how to judge people!
He had already left a tracking Restriction on the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow; this saber couldn’t run away.
Yan Junlin, Yan Wuchen, Yan Wugou, Yan Ruyi, he had already beaten them all. Yan Wuhai and Yan Ruyu, it seemed he hadn’t beaten them yet. Let’s see if he can find an opportunity to beat Yan Ruyu tonight.
“......” Everyone looked pensive.
This saber was no ordinary item. Without strong backing, one naturally wouldn’t be qualified to take it. Even if one did, they couldn’t hold onto it.
Conversely, those who could take it down certainly wouldn’t be simple, and there would be no need to worry about Xie Weilou going back on his word later.
Today, Xie Weilou sold the saber in front of everyone. If others paid a hefty price to acquire it, who could say anything?
As for whether this saber could be controlled, that was not within everyone’s consideration. A divine weapon was naturally not that easy to control, but other methods could be considered.
It was just that after buying this saber, it might involve the schemes of some important figures, which would be a bit troublesome.
“Three hundred thousand taels. I want to buy this saber to play with,” someone finally couldn’t hold back and spoke decisively. Treasures were rare, so they naturally couldn’t be missed. Evidently, this person was very confident in their background and felt they could acquire this item.
“Four hundred thousand taels. I’m also very interested in this saber.”
“Five hundred thousand taels.”
“Six hundred thousand taels.”
“......” People kept bidding. Those who could come to White Jade Capital were naturally not simple. Some of them had very powerful backgrounds and could acquire this saber.
Soon, the price was called up to one million taels.
As soon as the price reached one million taels, no one continued to bid. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to bid, but that they didn’t dare to.
Because a burly man had bid, and the aura around him was very terrifying. His origin was unknown, but everyone instinctively believed he was related to White Jade Capital, possibly a person from White Jade Capital!
White Jade Capital was not simple. Since someone from there had bid, the others naturally dared not act recklessly.
“One million taels, is no one going to continue bidding?” Xie Weilou looked at everyone present.
Everyone remained silent.
Xie Weilou nodded gently, “Since that’s the case, this saber belongs to that brother!”
He looked at the burly man.
The burly man didn’t waste words. With a wave of his hand, a storage bag flew towards Xie Weilou, “There’s one million taels in here.”
Xie Weilou took the storage bag, checked it, and after confirming there were no issues, he directly threw the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow to the burly man, “This saber is yours.”
“Thank you!” The burly man said two words. He didn’t directly reach out to take the saber but put it into a storage bag before turning and leaving.
Xie Weilou sat down with a beaming smile. He looked at Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the others, “Brothers, keep drinking. We won’t stop until we’re drunk.”
“Good!” Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the others quickly nodded. What This Young Master did was not for them to consider, otherwise, they would be overstepping.
Afterward, everyone continued to drink.
Half an hour later.
Everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and could no longer drink, so they left White Jade Capital.
On the street.
Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the others supported Xie Weilou, “This Young Master drank too much. We’ll send you back.”
Xie Weilou waved his hand, “No need. This Young Master isn’t drunk yet and can go back by myself. Brothers, you’ve drunk too much tonight, go rest early.”
After speaking, he left alone.
Zhao Hu looked at Xie Weilou’s back and sighed with emotion, “This Young Master is truly a very good person, but it’s a pity he sold that saber this time… On the path of cultivation, treasures are very crucial.”
Zhang Long said in a deep voice, “That saber might be a hot potato, which is why This Young Master abandoned it. This Young Master is a dissolute, but not an idiot.”
They had been in contact with Xie Weilou for so long, so they naturally understood Xie Weilou’s intelligence. With such a treasure in hand, yet he intended to sell it, there was only one possibility: the item was too hot to handle.
“That’s true,” everyone nodded and dispersed.
Xie Weilou walked alone in the alley. His soul power permeated, and seeing no one watching him, the drunkenness on his face dissipated, and his figure changed, becoming a white-haired old man.
At the same time, he took out a demon core, extracted demonic energy, and his body was instantly filled with a dense demonic aura.
“First, I’ll give Yan Ruyu a taste of her own medicine. Her presence might have been involved in the Han Shui Temple incident. Attacking me several times, does she think I have no temper?”
Xie Weilou’s eyes became extremely fierce, and his entire body instantly vanished from the spot.
