56: Mr. Lin's Chamber of Commerce is about to open.

At the entrance of the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance.

Under the watchful eyes of countless onlookers, the Bronze Gate opened.

An elegant figure, wearing a fitted purple suit and an evil clown mask, appeared in the sight of all the players.

"He's out! He's out! Night Ember is out!"

"Holy crap! His level actually reached 17? He jumped 3 levels from just one instance?"

"Wow! I'm crying with envy. The instance system even rewarded him with two SS-rank Skills. He can coast through life now."

"If I could start over, I would also choose the Sequence 999 Clown Class!"

"Yeah! Me too..."

Lin Du walked out of the instance by himself.

The Silver King's physique and race were somewhat special.

Lin Du had originally thought it would be hard to explain having the Silver King by his side, but he was surprised to find that the Silver King could actually hide inside his backpack space.

That certainly made things much easier!

...After Lin Du appeared, Ning Fengya and Zhao Yunsou immediately came to Lin Du's side.

Ning Fengya glanced at Zhao Yunsou, attempting to force him back, but Zhao Yunsou merely responded with a cold smile.

"Ning Fengya, I'm not here for you this time. You don't need to look at me like that."

Zhao Yunsou walked past Ning Fengya, replacing his expression with a warm smile as he approached Lin Du.

"Brother Ye! Congratulations on breaking the instance record!"

"You are truly incredible; you've opened my eyes, brother!"

"I booked the best restaurant for you in Yunlong City. Let's go! We brothers will go back and drink for three days!"

While speaking, Zhao Yunsou reached out to sling his arm over Lin Du's shoulder.

Ning Fengya's gaze turned cold, and the scabbard of the longsword in her hand swiftly slashed horizontally between Lin Du and Zhao Yunsou.

Zhao Yunsou instinctively tensed up.

The wound cut across his neck was still there, and the psychological shadow hadn't yet disappeared.

Seeing Ning Fengya suddenly make a move, Zhao Yunsou still felt a little scared!

The scabbard in Ning Fengya's hand lightly trembled.

Bang—

Instantly, Zhao Yunsou was knocked back two or three meters... Zhao Yunsou was a man who cared deeply about face, and having been publicly humiliated by Ning Fengya repeatedly, he could no longer hold back.

"Ning Fengya, you are going too far!"

"Do you really think this Young Master is afraid of you?"

Behind Zhao Yunsou, more than ten high-level players from the Heaven and Earth Share Longevity guild simultaneously drew their weapons and aimed them at Ning Fengya.

Upon seeing this, the players of Rule the World immediately blocked the Heaven and Earth Share Longevity players, holding their weapons in a strong response.

Both sides were ready for battle, looking as if they might start fighting at any moment!

The surrounding players quickly backed away, afraid of being caught in the conflict between the two major powers... Ning Fengya stared coldly at Zhao Yunsou.

"You want to attack me?"

Ning Fengya's icy gaze made Zhao Yunsou shiver inwardly, but under the scrutiny of the crowd, Zhao Yunsou still maintained a tough stance.

"What if I do attack you?"

"Others might not dare to touch you, Ning Fengya, but I do!!"

Ning Fengya curled her lips in disdain.

"Are you even worthy?"

As she spoke, the longsword "banished immortal," ranked third on the Equipment Leaderboard, slowly slid out of its scabbard. An intense, world-freezing cold erupted from Ning Fengya.

The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped below zero!

The sky, which had been clear and cloudless, strangely began to drift with snowflakes... Feeling the change in weather, Zhao Yunsou's expression changed, and the high-level players of Heaven and Earth Share Longevity instantly felt their hearts sink.

The aura emanating from Ning Fengya stirred the power of heaven and earth, making people unable to even conceive of resistance.

The nearby players watching the spectacle looked with awe at the cool and aloof figure.

"Is this the power of the Sequence 20 Class, Ice Emperor? Just her aura makes my blood feel like it's going to freeze!"

"No wonder Ember Eyes can constantly break records in various instances and Secret Realms; she definitely has the capability!"

"The player called Heavenly Longevity probably won't get off lightly this time."

"This is Yunlong City, not Junlin City. What right does he have to challenge Ember Eyes and Rule the World..."

Lin Du stood to the side, calmly observing the conflict between Ning Fengya and Zhao Yunsou.

He knew that the two of them could not truly fight.

Zhao Yunsou came to the Ning Family Villa this time partly to see Ning Fengya, but more importantly, to discuss an alliance with the Ning Family.

In this situation, the two could only have minor friction; it was impossible for them to genuinely start fighting.

Moreover, Ning Fengnian was still standing nearby; he would never allow things to spiral out of control... Sure enough!

At this critical moment, Ning Fengnian stepped forward.

"Fengya, Yun Shou, both of you calm down."

"Whatever you want, go talk to Night Ember about it yourselves. There's no need to fight over an outsider!"

With Ning Fengnian stepping in to mediate, Zhao Yunsou secretly sighed in relief.

He pretended to be tough, snorting coldly and saying, "Hmph! I'll give you face today, Fengnian!"

"If this happens again next time, I absolutely won't show mercy!"

The surrounding players could all hear the false bravado in Zhao Yunsou's words.

Ning Fengya disdainfully returned her sword to its scabbard.

Instead of continuing to argue with Zhao Yunsou, she turned her head to look at Lin Du behind her.

"Night Ember, are you interested in selling that SS-rank Skill, Emperors Heart Sword? I can give you a satisfactory price!"

Before Lin Du could speak, Zhao Yunsou suddenly stepped forward.

"Wait!"

"I want the Emperors Heart Sword too! Brother Ye, sell it to me, and I can offer double the price!"

When it came to competing financially, Zhao Yunsou wasn't backing down... The sudden bidding war over the Emperors Heart Sword made Lin Du overjoyed.

Both Ning Fengya and Zhao Yunsou were wealthy individuals, and now that they were competing out of spite, the Emperors Heart Sword was guaranteed to fetch an exorbitant price.

However, Lin Du was not prepared to sell it yet!

Many nearby players witnessed the conflict between Ning Fengya and Zhao Yunsou, and the news of them fighting over the Emperors Heart Sword would likely spread throughout Yunlong City very quickly.

When they eventually bid for the Emperors Heart Sword, many players would definitely come to watch!

Lin Du's newly opened Chamber of Commerce needed buzz and attention, so naturally, he wouldn't miss this excellent opportunity for traffic.

"My apologies, both of you, but the Emperors Heart Sword is not for sale at the moment!"

Ning Fengya slightly furrowed her delicate brows. "Are you keeping it for another purpose?"

Lin Du smiled and shook his head.

"You misunderstood. I just want to sell it on a different day."

"Tomorrow, I will open a Shop in Yunlong City, and the Emperors Heart Sword will be the featured auction item there. If both of you are interested, you are welcome to come to the Shop tomorrow to purchase it. I welcome you anytime."

Lin Du's gaze then swept toward the surrounding players who were watching the excitement.

"Esteemed customers!"

"There will also be many other fine items available in the Shop tomorrow. Any interested customers are welcome to come and browse."

"I guarantee you won't be disappointed!"

Lin Du had perfectly executed an advertisement.

Zhao Yunsou sneered and glanced at Ning Fengya. "Then we'll do as Brother Ye says. I'll compete with you again tomorrow."

"Brother Ye, see you tomorrow!"
