Chapter 264: Chapter 264 Duel Between Two Sects

Seeing Qin Chuan speak up, Murong Mingyue knew Long Jieming was in for trouble. She opened her mouth but ultimately chose silence.

Long Jieming himself hadn’t anticipated Qin Chuan would talk to him this way.

He was stunned for a moment before he realized Qin Chuan was questioning him, and in a fit of embarassed rage he retorted, "That’s right, I am going to break your damn legs, you got a problem with that?"

In his view, Qin Chuan was nothing more than a handsome face trying to cling to Murong Mingyue, and actually had the nerve to show him attitude.

His Energizing Skill Initial Stage Realm guard crossed his arms over his chest, closing his eyes slightly as if he couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to a nobody.

A sharp aura flashed in Qin Chuan’s eyes and at that instant, the guard who’d been feigning indifference abruptly opened his eyes.

Almost immediately, the guard moved in front of Long Jieming, fixing his gaze firmly on Qin Chuan.

Long Jieming too was intimidated by the aura emanating from Qin Chuan.

As the elder young master of the Long Family, having a specially assigned Energizing Skill Initial Stage expert as a bodyguard was enough to highlight his significant status within the Long Family, and also indicated he was no fool.

From the guard’s instantaneous protective reaction, it was apparent the young man before them was not the pushover he had assumed, but a martial artist capable of injuring him.

"Hmph!"

Qin Chuan let out a contemptuous sneer and then stepped forward to leave.

Murong Mingyue followed closely with a tense expression, afraid Qin Chuan might suddenly strike.

As Qin Chuan drew closer, Long Jieming’s complexion grew increasingly pale.

For a moment, he felt the dizzying illusion of falling into an unfathomably deep abyss.

The Long Family guard remained on alert, ready to act at any moment.

It was only after Qin Chuan passed by them that the two let out a sigh of relief, with Long Jieming gasping for air, his back drenched in cold sweat.

Murong Mingyue too breathed easier, having thought Qin Chuan was going to make a move. Luckily, he did not.

Otherwise, offending the Long Family, even if Qin Chuan was formidable, would likely lead to a myriad of troubles.

However, what neither of them noticed was that as Qin Chuan walked past Long Jieming, his index finger flicked ever so slightly, sending a surge of energy stealthily into Long Jieming’s body.

"Qin Chuan, you were lucky not to have made a move just now. Long Jieming’s father is the heir to the next family patriarch, extremely doting towards Long Jieming."

After they had walked some distance, Murong Mingyue finally spoke.

Qin Chuan’s lips curled into a barely perceptible smile and he said, "Then that’s better than I could have hoped!"

Seeing Qin Chuan’s expression, Murong Mingyue asked doubtfully, "Qin Chuan, you didn’t do something to Long Jieming, did you?"

Qin Chuan didn’t deny it and replied with a light chuckle, "How could I let off someone who’s after my life?"

Murong Mingyue stood there shocked. Qin Chuan had moved without anyone realizing—what exactly had he done to Long Jieming?

Although she was concerned that the Long Family might suspect Qin Chuan, the thought of Long Jieming’s relentless pursuit of her made her feel quite refreshed.

Full of curiosity, Murong Mingyue asked, "Qin Chuan, can you tell me secretly what you did to Long Jieming?"

While Murong Mingyue was quizzing Qin Chuan, over with Long Jieming...

"Elder Wei, what is up with that guy? Why did I feel so stiff and unable to move an inch when facing him?"

Long Jieming asked with a serious expression.

Elder Wei’s pupils constricted and he replied most solemnly, "You are after all a Dark Energy Late Stage Realm martial artist, ordinary fighters would not give you such a delusion."

"You felt like you were plunging into an abyss, yet I only sensed a feeling of danger," Elder Wei continued.

"It appears that the young man has attained a terrifying level of control over his presence."

With his face filled with disbelief, Long Jieming asked, "Even you felt danger, Elder Wei... Could he possibly be an Energizing Skill Grandmaster?"

Elder Wei, although unable to accept this fact, nevertheless nodded his head.

Boom!

Long Jieming only felt a thunderous roar in his mind as he said with a face full of disbelief, "How old is he? How could his cultivation possibly reach Energizing Skill?"

Just as he voiced this sigh, a piercing pain suddenly spread throughout both his legs.

"Ah~"

Long Jieming let out a shrill scream, his legs gave way, and he collapsed straight to the ground.

Elder Wei’s expression changed dramatically as he hurriedly helped Long Jieming up, "Elder Young Master, what’s wrong with you?"

"My legs! My legs!"

Long Jieming said with a face full of panic, "My legs have suddenly lost all sensation."

True enough, as soon as Elder Wei let go, Long Jieming’s body fell down again.

"How could this be?"

Elder Wei was also panicked for a moment, as he was Long Jieming’s personal bodyguard. If anything truly happened to Long Jieming, he couldn’t escape blame.

Long Jieming asked in terror, "Elder Wei, could it be that the kid from earlier did something to me?"

Elder Wei’s heart sank, that was indeed a possibility, otherwise why would Long Jieming suddenly lose sensation in his legs?

However, after carefully recalling the event, he realized that Qin Chuan hadn’t touched Long Jieming at all.

"It shouldn’t be, I’d better take you back to the family first."

Without another word, Elder Wei quickly left with Long Jieming.

At this moment, there was only half an hour left before the auction at Premium Auction House.

Murong Mingyue had already brought Qin Chuan to the VIP room on the top floor of the Premium Auction House headquarters.

Just as they arrived in the VIP room, a middle-aged man rushed in flustered, "Miss, the mysterious doctor you mentioned, can he really cure any disease?"

Murong Mingyue frowned slightly, "What now? Don’t you even trust my word?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Miss, please don’t be angry! It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just unimaginable that, throughout Shen Zhou, there’s someone whose medical skills could surpass the four Saintly Hands of the National Medical Hall."

Murong Mingyue coldly said, "You’re just ignorant, your experience is too limited to understand the vastness of the world and the myriad of extraordinary people and events within it."

"But..."

The middle-aged man wanted to say something else but, upon meeting Murong Mingyue’s icy gaze, he immediately clamped his mouth shut.

Murong Mingyue asked, "Manager Huang, regarding the auction for the opportunity for the Mysterious Doctor to provide treatment, how have the Nine Gates of Yandu reacted?"

Manager Huang sighed and said helplessly, "The Ye family has already issued a stern word; they want this opportunity. Whoever dares to bid against them is an enemy of the Ye family."

"In this case, it seems we won’t be able to fetch a good price for this special finale item."

While talking, Manager Huang suddenly received a phone call.

Not knowing what the other party said, Manager Huang suddenly rejoiced, "Are you serious?"

"Hahaha, excellent! Keep up the momentum, let more people know about this!"

After hanging up the phone, Manager Huang excitedly said, "Miss, good news, just now, the Long family also announced their intent; they’ve decided to secure the Mysterious Doctor’s service!"

At Premium Auction House, every item sold brings in a commission for the auction house.

The higher the final sale price, the higher the commission the auction house receives.

Now with both the Ye family and the Long family declaring their intents to secure this opportunity, a clash between two major houses of the Nine Gates in Yandu means the final sale price will definitely not be low.
