Chapter 150: Self-Worth

Tang Hao was filled with enthusiasm at this moment. If he could kill Jun Wu Xiao this time, his wishes would be fulfilled.

He left happily, feeling unusually joyful today. Just two years? Too easy. For more than ten years, he still dared to love unrequitedly, so what was two more years?

Jun Wu Xiao glanced at his ’teammate’ with slight surprise at her actions. He asked:

"Are you saying this to give him the spirit to kill me?"

"Exactly! With such spirit, if you’re in the bone forging realm, you’ll surely die. Even in the food avoidance realm, you could lose your life." Gu Zhou Jian clapped her hands and said.

Jun Wu Xiao looked at her cheerful attitude and asked:

"Do you really want me dead that badly?"

"No, but if you die, it’s because you’re weak, not because of me." Gu Zhou Jian replied.

She wasn’t lying. She truly didn’t want him dead, but if he died one day, it would be because he was weak. If the same happened to her, it would be because she was weak.

After all, the mindset of an abnormal group isn’t something ordinary people should have.

"Ha ha, you’re right. But seeing him so spirited makes me a bit curious about what he’ll prepare to welcome me."

Then the two of them went to their rooms, but they were in different rooms. The rooms had soundproofing so everyone could negotiate without disturbing others during the auction.

Seeing the inconvenience of two rooms, Jun Wu Xiao said:

"Why don’t you and I share a room?"

"Aren’t you afraid of being punished?" Gu Zhou Jian asked.

"We’re just together, not breaking any laws or taking others’ seats. Moreover, if they dare punish you, I’ll reason with them." Jun Wu Xiao said.

"Alright, but where will I sit?" she asked.

Without thinking much, Jun Wu Xiao sat down and said:

"Just sit on me. If you don’t like it, I’ll stand and you can sit."

"Alright." Gu Zhou Jian said, then she walked in and closed the door.

Sitting on him was like sitting on a hard chair, not inconvenient at all.

Seeing the room had no windows but only a screen, Jun Wu Xiao said:

"Are we going to watch the auction live from here?"

"Exactly, once the auction begins, the screen will automatically turn on." she nodded and said.

About fifteen minutes later, most of the participants had settled into their seats. The lights in the room suddenly went out, leaving only a dim glow.

At the same time, the brightest lights focused on the screen where the auctioneer stood. He spoke:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the annual auction of the Tian Du Auction House officially begins. Here is the information about the first item up for auction. It’s not a physical object but information. Perhaps many of you have heard about the existence of the great Guardian Gods?

They are the first cultivators in the world and, together with the Saint Emperor, spread cultivation across the world. They are not just mythical figures but real individuals, and today, the first item is intelligence about their possible current location. Rest assured, the information is highly credible. The starting price is one million."

The audience was intrigued. If they could truly meet a Guardian God, it would be highly beneficial. Although the information wasn’t 100% accurate, it was worth trying since this amount of money wasn’t a significant issue for the major families.

Behind them, there was information about the current value of the auctioned item, but the identities of the buyers remained anonymous.

"One million."

"One million one hundred thousand."

.....

"One million five hundred thousand."

"One million seven hundred thousand."

.....

The price kept rising until it reached nine million.

"Congratulations to the buyer who has successfully purchased the information for nine million."

Jun Wu Xiao was stunned and asked her:

"Nine million for one piece of uncertain information?"

He wasn’t foolish enough to live here for a while without understanding the specific value of the circulating currency. Nine million was an enormous amount, enough to buy many things.

Seeing the strongest Guardian God not understand his own worth, Gu Zhou Jian found it amusing. She laughed and said:

"Ha ha ha, it seems you truly don’t understand your own value. You can be considered the most precious treasure in the world. Don’t forget you are the strongest cultivator among humans. You are much stronger than the cultivators from the great families."

Jun Wu Xiao knew he was strong, but he truly had no idea how much his strength translated into money. Only now did he realize he was worth so much.

Suddenly, he had an idea and said:

"Hey, if I run up there now, will I get money?"

Gu Zhou Jian frowned at him and asked:

"Do you need money that badly?"

"No, just asking." he replied.

"If that’s the case, let me be honest with you. If you go up there, the entire hall of tens of thousands of people will go crazy. After that, the whole world will chase after you. If you find that amusing, go ahead and try." Gu Zhou Jian said.

Jun Wu Xiao shook his head. He didn’t like being bothered like that. He said:

"About a few decades ago, someone took a picture of me with Xia Ni. But it seems that photo didn’t spread outside, so no one recognizes me."

Gu Zhou Jian thought for a moment and then voiced her guess:

"It might have been handled by the imperial court. After all, the influence of the Guardian Gods is immense, both in terms of combat power and spirit. The number of temples dedicated to you is enormous, and there are many who worship you."

Hearing this again, Jun Wu Xiao still felt a bit strange. Being worshipped while still alive was indeed peculiar. He sighed:

"But being worshipped while still alive feels really odd."

"Ha ha, if you want, later I can take you to worship yourself." Gu Zhou Jian laughed and said.

This idea was even more bizarre, so he shook his head and declined:

"Forget it, once the auction ends, let’s just go home."
