67: Auction begins

"Mhm, mhm, mhm," Lin Yi repeatedly responded.

"If you want to go, just go. Why are you telling me?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Ah? Brother, you're not going?"

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Lin Yi's face immediately fell.

He had put a lot of effort into this auction.

He even called Yu Liuli, all to create a private space for the two of them.

But now his brother said he didn't want to go. What could he do?

Lin Yi's face showed a bitter expression.

"Why would I go? It's just a pile of ancient junk. A quick look is enough," Lin Xiao said.

To be honest, he was really not interested in such auctions.

Everything available at this auction, his Lin Clan had.

Everything not available at this auction, his Lin Clan also had.

What was the point of going? Lin Xiao was not someone who had too much time on his hands.

Time is gold, and gold cannot buy time.

His time was very precious, and every second had to be spent on becoming stronger.

Accompany his younger brother?

That would only affect the speed of him becoming stronger.

Besides, his younger brother wasn't some pretty girl.

Why accompany him?

"Brother, are you really not going?"

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Lin Yi put on an extremely serious expression.

He had already prepared a big move; Yu Liuli was destined to be his sister-in-law.

If Lin Xiao really didn't go today...

Lin Yi...

Even if it meant abandoning his dignity as a man—oh, no, a boy!

He would definitely send both Lin Xiao and Yu Liuli to the auction.

"No," Lin Xiao still said indifferently.

"Are you really not going?" Lin Yi asked again, tears in his eyes ready to well up at any moment.

If his brother still refused to go, he would cry, cry endlessly, until Lin Xiao was willing to go to the auction.

"Mhm hm hm, Brother."

"Are you really, really not going?" Lin Yi continued, starting to act spoiled.

Tears the size of soybeans rolled down from his eyes.

He knew he looked embarrassing right now.

But for his brother's future happiness, he would go all out.

"Sister Liuli, you must put in extra effort then. Don't let my painstaking efforts go to waste," Lin Yi muttered in his heart.

Thinking this, he cried even harder.

"Oh, Brother, my dear Brother, I beg you, please just come to the auction with me."

"Sister Liuli said you absolutely have to go. If you don't, she'll kill me."

Lin Yi looked at Lin Xiao, blinking his big, watery eyes, looking pitiful.

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, in Lin Xiao's mind...

The long-unheard System prompt suddenly sounded.

"Ding! Detecting the current situation faced by the Host, two options are now given to the Host!"

"Option One: Agree to Lin Yi's request to attend the auction, and obtain the Great Dao Treasure Arts: Great Nightmare Art!"

"Option Two: Reject Lin Yi's request not to attend the auction, and obtain the Great Dao Treasure Arts: Great Ice Art!"

Lin Xiao glanced at it casually and chose Option One without hesitation.

"You child, why are you suddenly crying?"

"I'll go, I'll go, isn't that enough?" Lin Xiao said with a bit of a headache.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successful selection, obtaining the Great Dao Treasure Arts, Great Nightmare Art!"

Lin Xiao ignored the System and continued to look at Lin Yi in front of him, about to say something more.

But he quickly recalled Yu Liuli from Lin Yi's words just now, and couldn't help but be stunned.

He asked, somewhat confused, "What did you say? Yu Liuli asked you to invite me?"

He was extremely puzzled in his heart. What was going on? Hadn't Yu Liuli always ignored him?

Why was she suddenly thinking of inviting him to an auction? What kind of mysterious operation was this... Lin Xiao wondered.

"Of course! Sister Liuli called me to invite you, Brother!"

Lin Yi said with a smile, a hint of successful scheming in his eyes.

After speaking, he immediately ran out of Lin Xiao's room and shouted loudly from the doorway.

"Brother, you must come to the auction three days later! Sister Liuli and I will be waiting for you at Tianyun Pavilion."

Lin Yi smiled, then disappeared without a trace.

"Sigh, this child." Looking at Lin Yi's departing back, Lin Xiao smiled helplessly.

He looked at the invitation in his hand and couldn't help but murmur, "Was it really Yu Liuli who invited me?"

Meanwhile, in Yu Liuli's room.

Yu Liuli looked at the invitation in her hand, also muttering, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Lin Xiao invited me to the auction? Why would that guy suddenly be so kind?"

"Never mind, never mind. I'll just go and see then. It won't take much time anyway."

Three days passed in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, the Tianyun City auction was about to begin.

The entire Tianyun City was naturally bustling at this time.

It was not only filled with Cultivators from the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain who had come to the Blood Spirit Realm, but also countless new faces that Tianyun City had never seen before.

"What's happening today? Why is Tianyun City so lively?"

However, there were still Cultivators in Tianyun City who didn't understand and were asking questions.

As soon as he spoke, his words quickly attracted enthusiastic answers from others.

"Are you truly foolish or pretending to be? Don't you know that Tianyun Pavilion, the direct merchant guild of Evergreen Pavilion, is holding a large-scale auction?"

"Uh... I really didn't know that."

"Forget it, there's no hope. You've lived for millions of years and your brain is broken. Bury him!"

"..."

However, compared to these people, most were still discussing today's auction.

"Did you see? The people from the Dark Cloud Society have arrived; they're just outside the city now."

"Of course I saw them! And just now, I also saw our Evergreen Pavilion's representative; he has already arrived at the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Really? This year's auction isn't being attended by the City Lord on behalf of others?"

"I don't know what's going on, but I definitely saw someone wearing the Vice Pavilion Master's azure-purple robe from Evergreen Pavilion enter the City Lord's Mansion just now."

"Hiss!!! What did you say??? The Vice Pavilion Master of Evergreen Pavilion?"

"There are only two Vice Pavilion Masters in Evergreen Pavilion in total, and both are top-tier Saint Realm powerhouses. What are they doing here?"

"Could it be that some ultimate treasure will appear at today's auction?"

"I think that's possible."

"Wait, I don't think the Vice Pavilion Master of Evergreen Pavilion is here for today's auction."

"Not for the auction? Then what for?" countless people asked, somewhat confused.

"A few days ago, outside the City Lord's Mansion, I saw a few living people from the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain who had come to the Blood Spirit Realm. They called themselves Lin Clan Disciples. I think that Vice Pavilion Master is probably here for these Lin Clan members."

"Lin Clan members? They're just their juniors. Why would the elders come personally?"

"Hehe, you wouldn't know this, but I heard that among these Lin Clan Disciples..."

"There is a Disciple named Lin Xiao, and he is the current Divine Son of the Lin Clan!"

As this person spoke, everyone was shocked!
