Wow!
Little Cui was so angry and anxious when she saw people around pointing and whispering, that she spat out a mouthful of black blood!
She struggled to stand up, glaring venomously at Zhao Yi from the window, then staggered towards Cuihua Building!
Zhao Yi didn't even spare her a glance!
This Little Cui was just an insignificant maid who didn't know her place.
Zhao Yi's real opponents were the male and female protagonists of this cliché novel!
When he had his awakening previously, Zhao Yi saw the entire content of the book and learned about his own ending.
In the plot, after Zhao Yi spent all his wealth for the female lead, she seized the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty and became a female emperor.
The male lead meanwhile joined a sect of immortals, becoming a great figure in the sect.
The immortal elder and the worldly empress became a fairy-tale couple, envied by all!
As a dispensable supporting male character, Zhao Yi ended up being a stepping stone for the protagonists, witnessing their legendary love, and finally met his ruin, dying amidst chaos.
After seeing this ending, Zhao Yi was speechless for a long time.
He couldn't even think of how to comment on it!
To be such a persistent admirer, this was indeed unprecedented!
Initially, Zhao Yi couldn't believe he would act like that.
But from Little Cui's reaction earlier, Zhao Yi finally realized, he really didn't have any boundaries when it came to Su Qianqian!
If he hadn't stooped too low too often, Little Cui wouldn't dare slam the table in front of him even if you gave her the courage ten times over!
"Could that woman be a fairy from heaven?"
Zhao Yi couldn't understand.
That Su Qianqian wasn't some heavenly fairy, why would he be so devoted to her?
Zhao Yi instinctively reached for the teacup on the table but ended up grabbing at air. It was then he remembered that the table had been smashed by Little Cui, and the teacup was thrown by him.
Just as Zhao Yi was about to retract his hand, he suddenly felt something placed in it.
Lowering his head, he saw it was a cup of warm tea.
Zhao Yi took the cup, and glimpsed from the corner of his eye a beautiful but cold-faced girl in her twenties standing behind him, holding a sword!
Qing Feng!
Zhao Yi's mind immediately recalled the name of this girl.
Qing Feng, Huang Ying.
The two maidservants and bodyguards by Zhao Yi's side.
It was this girl named "Qing Feng" who had served him tea and struck at Little Cui earlier!
Qing Feng noticed Zhao Yi stealing a glance at her; her face remained expressionless, equally cold as her name, keeping everyone at a distance!
Zhao Yi dejectedly withdrew his gaze.
From his memories, he knew Qing Feng despised his actions of pandering to Su Qianqian.
If Zhao Yi hadn't instructed her to teach Little Cui a lesson earlier, she wouldn't have even poured the tea!
Zhao Yi shook his head, turning his attention to the upcoming auction.
According to the original plot, Zhao Yi received a message from Little Cui and hurriedly went to Cuihua Building to resolve the trouble for her, only for the male lead to seize the opportunity and acquire a divine object at the auction!
Now that Zhao Yi has awakened, he definitely won't miss out on such a valuable item!
The male lead took his fiancée, so Zhao Yi will take the male lead's opportunity. It's a fair trade!
As for the possibility of Zhao Yi making a mistake and missing the treasure?
No need to worry at all!
As a dispensable supporting character, Zhao Yi also has his special abilities.
Heaven-Reaching Treasure Eye!
Perhaps to allow the female lead to earn more money, Zhao Yi's eyes are set to the Heaven-Reaching Treasure Eye, able to see the wealth invisible to ordinary people!
Within a certain range, nothing valuable can escape Zhao Yi's perceptive eyes!
With these special eyes, Zhao Yi was able to spend lavishly for the female lead!
In some sense, this ridiculous romance novel isn't completely without merit; at least the logic behind the supporting character's money-making ability is somewhat coherent!
The auction is hosted by the Four Seas Commerce Association, a powerful organization with a vast business scope covering the entire continent, spanning thousands of dynasties.
Zhao Yi had heard that the Four Seas Commerce Association is backed by a top-tier sect of immortals, and even the wild beasts in the Four Seas conduct business with them!
As a result, the Four Seas Commerce Association often acquires valuable items unseen elsewhere!
To handle these items, they hold regular auctions, and with some luck, one might even find a divine weapon!
Little Cui's arrival was merely a small episode in the auction.
The auctioneer was the plump shopkeeper of the Four Seas Restaurant. After ordering a waiter to bring a new tea table for Zhao Yi, the auction continued.
The plump shopkeeper stood on a high stage, scanning the crowd before finally resting his gaze on Zhao Yi.
"Your Highness Sixth Prince, you should really look at this treasure closely!"
As he spoke, the plump shopkeeper reached out and lifted the red silk cloth covering the tray before him, revealing an oddly shaped snake-like long sword.
The plump shopkeeper smiled and said, "Your Highness, as far as I know, your fiancée, Miss Su Qianqian, practices the 'Puppet Sword Technique'. This 'Golden Dragon Sword' was forged by the master swordsmith Ou Yezi over ten years, containing countless transformations. It's a perfect match for the Puppet Sword Technique!"
Zhao Yi was initially uninterested because the sword's wealth was gold-colored. Although valuable, it wasn't as precious as the shopkeeper claimed!
According to Zhao Yi's classification, the Heaven-Reaching Treasure Eye has five levels of wealth: White, Blue, Green, Gold, and Purple!
The most valuable is the Purple Wealth!
This Golden Dragon Sword falls within the gold wealth category, which is generally unimpressive to Zhao Yi.
But after hearing the shopkeeper mention the sword's myriad transformations, Zhao Yi suddenly had a thought.
If he remembered correctly, the maid Qing Feng practiced the 'Dragon Flood Sword Technique' which also relied on being deceptive and sinister.
Since Qing Feng helped him vent just now, buying this sword for her might not be a bad idea.
With that in mind, Zhao Yi lazily said, "This sword, the prince wants it!"
Upon hearing this, the onlookers displayed expressions of "just as expected".
"I thought the Sixth Prince had changed, but no, hahaha..."
"A leopard can't change its spots!"
"I really don't know what's so special about Su Qianqian, to bewitch the Sixth Prince into such a state!"
"Keep your voice down! The Sixth Prince hates hearing people gossip about Su Qianqian, be careful he might hear you!"
Zhao Yi's mouth twitched slightly.
The discussions were almost being yelled right into his ears; he couldn't ignore even if he wanted to!
The plump shopkeeper was quite a savvy person!
Seeing that Zhao Yi wanted the sword, he cheerfully addressed the crowd, "Everyone, this Golden Dragon Sword is the first item for auction today. I would like to ask for a favor from all of you to sell this precious sword directly to Sixth Prince at the price of ten thousand taels of gold. What do you all think?"
The crowd in the restaurant was initially very displeased; after all, even if Zhao Yi was a prince, there's no reason for him to just take the item without bidding.
But upon hearing the sword actually cost ten thousand taels of gold, everyone suddenly fell silent.
The Great Xia Dynasty has stable prices, and just one tael of gold can cover the expenses for a family of three for a year.
Ten thousand taels of gold, ordinary families couldn't spend it all in ten lifetimes!
This Golden Dragon Sword could be sold for ten thousand taels of gold, why don't the Four Seas Commerce Association just go and rob people?
Thinking of this, everyone turned their eyes to Zhao Yi.
Curious to see how he would react!
