Chapter 635: Chapter 317 What? A junior fellow apprentice? _1

"My teacher is Magic Demigod Wu Di."

As Long Dangdang uttered these words, Zou Qingyun was taken aback, and Ling Feng and Qin Yutong shared an immediate glance, their expressions turning peculiar in an instant.

"You... Could you repeat that? Who did you say your teacher was?" Zou Qingyun thought he’d misheard.

Not missing a beat, Long Dangdang reiterated, "I said, my teacher at the Magic Temple is Magic Demigod Wu Di. He declared that I am now his closed-door disciple."

Gawking at Long Dangdang, Zou Qingyun stammered, "You, you, you’re the new junior disciple he’s just taken on?"

"Huh?" Long Dangdang was just as stunned.

Qin Yutong, however, burst out laughing and said, "Well, well, it looks like I’m becoming your senior, little Zou."

Zou Qingyun was speechless. He glanced at Long Dangdang and then at Qin Yutong. An Adamantine Cathedra knight lying? That would be a massive scandal in the Knight’s Temple. Lineage between professionals and their mentors is a big deal; no one would dare impersonate someone else’s mentor. Moreover, Wu Di was known for his terrible temper and exceptional strength.

"So, you are my senior brother?" Long Dangdang asked tentatively.

Isn’t it obvious? Zou Qingyun stared at him, speechless. Being the fifth disciple of Wu Di, his achievements were largely due to his mentor’s guidance. While most people only knew him as a fire specialty magic demigod, in reality, he specialized in both fire and darkness, making him even more formidable than he appeared. He was one of Wu Di’s most valued disciples.

Given Wu Di’s age, it wasn’t surprising that he had numerous disciples. Under normal circumstances, being an imperial disciple like Zou Qingyun would grant him privileges within the 6 Great Sacred Temples. But if his relationship with Long Dangdang were taken into account, how would he address his uncle and aunt-in-law sitting next to him?

"Alright, enough of this. I never thought it’d be you, little junior brother! As for the spirit furnace... Let’s just look at it as a gift from your senior brother." Zou Qingyun spoke with a bitter smile.

While visiting their mentor earlier, he had heard Wu Di praising his newest closed-door disciple to the high heavens, something he had never done for any other disciple before. Now, with the spirit furnace absorbed by his junior brother, there was nothing he could do about it except accept the circumstances.

"Big brother, that wouldn’t be right. About the temple... I still have some gold coins; maybe I could offer some as compensation." Long Dangdang looked visibly embarrassed.

Waving his hand dismissively, Zou Qingyun said, "Don’t be silly. If the teacher finds out I’m taking money from my own brother, he’ll kick me out of the temple! Don’t worry about this. I’ll handle it. As a magic demigod of the Magic Temple, I certainly possess the qualifications to deal with a spirit furnace. Besides, you’re enrolled in both Temples and the Knights Temple has already given you the Adamantine Cathedra, why shouldn’t we give you a spirit furnace as a show of goodwill? It’s settled then."

"Little Zou, you’re quite the decent chap!" Qin Yutong said, beaming.

Zou Qingyun could only respond with silence, looking askance at Qin Yutong who he knew for many years. For the first time, he saw her so amiable towards him. He turned to Ling Feng and said, "Brother Ling, you may resume the auction. It’s been sorted out now. Little junior brother, I will take my leave now." Fearful he might end up obliged to her, Zou Qingyun decided to beat a hasty retreat.

Long Dangdang found the whole affair quite amusing. What started out as a potential hassle was easily resolved through recognising ties. Even so, he knew he owed his senior brother a big favor and would have to find a way to repay him later.

Just as Zou Qingyun walked away, Qin Yutong said, "You have Ruru with you in Suite 16, right? Let’s go there. Continue the auction, and if you run out of money, talk to your aunt-in-law. She’s loaded, the kind of private stash that isn’t connected to the Ling family."

She said this as she was pulling Long Dangdang along to leave. Long Dangdang looked back at his uncle who helplessly waved back at him.

Huang Wei, who had been growing uncomfortable up on the auction stage, finally received the news. Instantly, the auctioneer let out a sigh of relief, with a smile returning to his face.

"Honoured guests. The issues that happened just now have been resolved through friendly negotiation between the three parties involved. The space fairy was ultimately purchased by the guest in Suite 16 for a price of 100 million gold coins. We thank the guests of Suite 16 for their support."

With a bang, he concluded, thereby just following the required procedures.

That was it? It got resolved this quickly? The bidders who have been engrossed in their discussion were left dumbfound. Everyone saw that the three people involved were not to be trifled with! A representative each from Magic Temple, Priests Temple and a mighty powerhouse from Knights Temple with a Adamantine Cathedra, who had robbed the spirit furnace from the other two, can you think this will end well?

These events forced the bidders to re-evaluate the capability of the Holy City Grand Auction Hall. The speed with which they diffused such a major trouble was simply impressive!

Huang Wei continued, "We shall proceed with the auction. Today’s bidding for exceptional treasures has already ended, and up next is the equipment auction. My successor, Miss Blue Butterfly, will continue to serve you all."

After two rounds of bidding, it was his turn to rest.

A not-so-tall woman with handsome features took the stage, greeted Huang Wei, and a warm smile appeared on her cherubic face. "Honoured guests, I’ll be at your service from here onwards. I’m sorry for the delay due to some special circumstances earlier, so without further ado, let’s bring out today’s first item for the equipment auction."
