Chapter 141: Chapter 140: The Sky of Jiangnan Province has Changed! (Third update!)_1

Ren Feifan looked at Xu Zhenhua, guessing that the other party should be here to deliver the brocade box or another bracelet.

Sure enough, Xu Zhenhua first congratulated Elder Ye, then handed the brocade box to him. Only then did he turn to Ye Qingcheng, saying, "Miss Ye, due to the unprecedented value of the bracelet, we took the liberty of refraining from auctioning it off. Please accept our apologies. Naturally, we will compensate you with ten times the estimated price of the bracelet, so two billion shall be transferred to your account."

Xu Zhenhua then pulled out an exceptionally ugly bracelet.

Ye Qingcheng nodded, unconsciously looking toward Ren Feifan. She was quite satisfied with Xu Zhenhua’s handling of the situation. The only reason was that the item Ren Feifan asked her to auction off was simply too precious!

Participating in the auction was indeed a waste!

Suddenly, Ren Feifan’s previously calm eyes narrowed, his gaze piercingly fixed on Xu Zhenhua.

He realized the bracelet had been switched!

The bracelet Xu Zhenhua brought out was not the one he had given to Ye Qingcheng!

The bracelet was completely devoid of any formation fluctuation!

Ye Qingcheng certainly would not have done such a thing, so the problem must have originated from Xu Zhenhua.

Ren Feifan had never expected that Xu Zhenhua, as the patriarch of the Xu family and the founder of the auction, would make such an absurd move.

Ren Feifan was about to lose his temper, but seeing Xu Shihan beside him, he temporarily restrained his anger.

Had it not been for the fact that Xu Zhenhua was Xu Shihan’s father, he would have turned into a cold corpse by now!

Ye Qingcheng, receiving the bracelet, naturally didn’t notice the switch, and quite politely replied, "Uncle Xu, about the compensation, I will provide you with an account number later, and you can wire the money there at that time."

This compensation belongs to Ren Feifan. She naturally can’t refuse it.

Seeing Ren Feifan not voicing an opinion, the astute Ye Qingcheng understood that Ren Feifan didn’t want to take the stage. She quickly coughed lightly and solemnly said, "Since everything is settled, let’s not bother Uncle Xu any longer. Someone will contact you about the money transfer later."

Xu Zhenhua had initially planned on prying into the matter of the bracelet, but now that Ye Qingcheng had issued the eviction order, he had no choice.

After Xu Zhenhua left, Elder Ye opened the brocade box and gazed at the half key inside, lost in thought.

"Elder Ye, is this key very important to you?" Ren Feifan asked.

Elder Ye came back to his senses and nodded, "Actually, this key originally belonged to our Ye family."

Ren Feifan was taken aback. He didn’t expect the Ye family to actually own one too, and immediately asked, "Then why did it end up in the auction?"

Elder Ye let out a long sigh and said, "Ah, it’s a long story. I don’t want to bring it up. But now this half of the key is back in my hands, I don’t feel so guilty towards our ancestors of the Ye family."

Since Elder Ye had no intention of elaborating, Ren Feifan didn’t press for an answer.

Seeing this, Ye Qingcheng felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and quickly handed the bracelet to Ren Feifan, "This is your possession. Leave your bank details later, and I will have Xu Zhenhua transfer the money into your account."

Upon receiving the bracelet, Ren Feifan applied a slight pressure with his fingers, and the bracelet instantly turned into a pile of powder.

Xu Shihan and Ye Qingcheng were stunned. After all, this was an extraordinarily valuable bracelet! How could Ren Feifan destroy it just like that?

You could have given it to me even if you didn’t want it!

Elder Ye was also slightly surprised, not understanding why Ren Feifan would take such an action.

Only Ren Feifan himself knew that the bracelet he had crumbled was just a manifestation of someone’s desperate hopes.

However, the ominous aura over Xu Zhenhua’s head was becoming denser and denser. He wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer and his downfall was inevitable!

If Xu Zhenhua had acknowledged him or been a bit more upright, perhaps Ren Feifan, in view of Xu Shihan, might have aided him.

But now, well, let’s see how tough Xu Zhenhua’s luck is!

...

After bidding farewell to Ye Qingcheng and Elder Ye, Ren Feifan and Xu Shihan left together.

Xu Shihan had to return home, and Ren Feifan could only spend another night at the hotel.

Zhou Chenglong was probably having trouble now. The backlash from the bracelet should keep him quiet for a month.

Ren Feifan had no interest in dealing with such a dying opponent at present.

After acquiring the meteorite, the first order of business was indeed to become stronger.

The winds and the rain in Jiangnan province grew eerier following the auction.

A storm is coming! Who can stand against it!

Undercurrents are growing stronger! It’s bone-chilling cold!

The late summer in Jiangnan province seemed colder than usual!

...

In the Zhou family residence in Jiangnan Province.

Zhou Chenglong, with a gloomy face, swallowed an elixir. In front of him sat an old man in his eighties. The old man had a weather-beaten face with deeply sunken eyes, appearing wise and spirited, and his white hair was neatly combed.

He was Zhou Dewang, a name known to strike terror in Jiangnan Province!

Zhou Dewang, looking at Zhou Chenglong’s pale face, snorted coldly, "So, this undying Elder Ye took away the half key, didn’t he?"

Zhou Chenglong nodded, not saying a word.

"Since this undying Elder Ye is courting death, then we will have to rely on the power of the Outer Hidden Sect."

Zhou Dewang’s expressionless, wrinkled face now wore a trace of ferocity.

Suddenly, Zhou Chenglong seemed to remember something and hastily said, "Grandfather, an artifact unexpectedly appeared at the auction!"

"An artifact? Are you saying there’s something more valuable than the key?"

"It’s a bracelet with a heaven-defying array! It can withstand an all-out attack from a cultivator at the Profound Level, and may even severely injure them!"

As soon as Zhou Chenglong finished speaking, the elderly man suddenly stood up, his face full of shock!

"What did you say? An array bracelet? And it can withstand an attack from a Profound-Level cultivator? No no no, you said it could severely injure a Profound-Level cultivator? You’re not kidding?"

It was reasonable for Zhou Dewang to be shocked. He had lived for over eighty years and was also a cultivator; he knew about particular things.

An array bracelet was a once-in-a-lifetime treasure!

Array Masters were rare in this world!

So, nearly every magical artifact with an array left behind was an incredibly precious relic!

But now, one had appeared at the auction!

Damn! And it could even severely injure a Profound-Level cultivator! This was simply against the heavens!

Zhou Chenglong coughed a few times. The pressure Zhou Dewang emitted had somewhat hurt him. He continued painfully, "The injury on my body was caused by the backlash of the array bracelet, so I am definitely not joking. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Elder Wan. This artifact is now in his hands!"

Zhou Dewang finally calmed down. He knew how much weight his grandson carried; he would certainly not dare to joke about this with him.

What he didn’t expect was Elder Wan to have gotten hold of such a treasure.

He sat back down and furrowed his brows, apparently deep in contemplation.

Long after, Zhou Dewang’s eyes flashed open, emanating a powerful killing intent. In a cold voice, he said, "I have three tasks for you. You must carry them out!"

Zhou Chenglong reluctantly nodded.

"First, investigate Elder Wan’s whereabouts and report back to me. I’ll send people to handle it.

Second, keep a close eye on the Ye family and report any movements to me.

Third, you dispatch someone to deal with Xu Zhenhua yourself. If I’m not mistaken, Xu Zhenhua should know the origins of the bracelet. When the time comes... Humph!"

A cold and apathetic killing intent flashed across Zhou Dewang’s face.

Jiangnan province is destined to face a storm because of the Zhou family!
