The sun set,and the auction came to a close.
The young master hummed a song, in high spirits.
His father was a viscount of the Heaven Dou Empire,and he had been given one million gold soul coins for the auction, hoping he could acquire some rare treasures.
Although he didn't win anything in the end,
even the only item he wanted, the Twin Star Vortex, was sold to the black number 10!
But forcing the other party to spend a fortune on the Martial Soul Awakening Method gave the young master a great sense of satisfaction.
Leaving the auction house,the young master was about to take a carriage back home when he caught a glimpse of the figure he couldn't forget.
Black number 10!
After paying the gold soul coins according to protocol, Dongfang Jing, along with Dongfang Yao, followed the main group out of the auction house.
Because the drunkard he copied with his soul skill was very large,he let the little girl ride on his shoulders.
Along the way,many merchants and wealthy people tried to curry favor with Dongfang Jing, but he ignored them all.
The young master stared intently at him, a surge of anger rising within him as he thought of the soul tool that had rightfully belonged to him being snatched away.
He was the son of a viscount!
When had he ever been required to give up a treasure he had his eye on?
Thinking this,he turned to the three guards behind him, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.
The guards hesitated; wasn't this inappropriate?
The other party was simply engaging in normal bidding, yet their young master was repeatedly targeting them.
"Hmm?" The young master glared, his threat unmistakable.
The guards had no choice but to change the direction of the carriage, secretly following behind Dongfang Jing.
They were completely unaware that two other people were also following them at a leisurely pace.
On the other side,Dongfang Yao, perched on the neck of the 'Mirror Image,' whispered, "Brother, Yao'er thinks it's such a waste. So many gold soul coins, and..."
Dongfang Jing smiled, completely unconcerned, and joked, "Money is meant to be spent. Although this Martial Soul Awakening Method is a bit expensive, when you turn six, brother can help you awaken your Martial Soul. Does Yao'er dislike brother and not want brother to help you?"
"No, no!" The little girl shook her head quickly, eagerly refuting, "Yao'er likes her brother the most, and wants him to help me awaken my martial soul!"
After saying that, she pouted and waved her little fists angrily.
"It's all that young master's fault, why did he target my brother? He could have won it for a thousand gold soul coins! Ugh, how awful!"
"Alright, alright, don't speak too soon, maybe we'll make a profit this time~"
The fat 'Dongfang Jing' said meaningfully,
picked up his puzzled sister from his neck,
and then called out to the empty space behind him, "Come out, I've spotted you."
Hearing this,the three guards who had been following the brother and sister and hiding in the shadows were startled.
As for the young master, he immediately jumped out,pointing arrogantly at Dongfang Jing and threatening, "Pretty sharp, huh! Do you know who I am? Son of the City Lord of Shuilan City, my father is a Viscount of the Heavenly Dou Empire! Hand over the Twin Stars and I'll spare your life, otherwise I'll chop you to pieces!"
He made a knife gesture with one hand and slashed at his own neck.
"I was planning to come looking for you, but you've delivered yourself to my doorstep." Dongfang Jing chuckled, "You made me waste hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins, how are you going to compensate me?"
"Pah! Compensate my ass! Stop talking nonsense, quickly hand over the soul tool, and kowtow to me a few times, otherwise hehe..."
As he spoke, the young master's gaze fell on Dongfang Yao behind him.
He looked her up and down, rubbed his chin, and lewdly said, "I haven't tasted... Ahhhhh!!!"
His next words instantly turned into an extremely shrill scream.
Two mirror-blade throwing knives had somehow pierced his eyes, leaving two streaks of dark blood,causing him to writhe on the ground in agony.
Dongfang Jing's true form appeared, his face icy cold,and commanded the 'mirror image' to cover the little girl's ears and eyes.
He then manipulated the shattered mirror, condensing it into a long sword,which instantly appeared beside the young master.
Two and a half minutes later,he picked up the young master's storage soul tool and glanced at the three guards who were already terrified.
The three guards shuddered, and upon seeing the young master lying on the ground, hacked to pieces, they broke out in a cold sweat.
She felt a warm liquid slowly flowing down between her legs.
Dongfang Jing ignored them, straightened his clothes, and walked towards Dongfang Yao.
"Yao'er, let's go back."
"Mmm."
Dongfang Yao wanted to see what had happened and peeked out slightly,but Dongfang Jing blocked her view.
The boy smiled and said, "These things, wait until you're older to see, otherwise you'll have psychological trauma."
"Okay, Yao'er will listen to her brother."
Watching the brother and sister gradually walk away,the three guards finally breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, they had no idea what had happened.
They had heard of this suddenly appearing, thin figure and that unique martial spirit;it seemed to be the recently famous 'Lord Jing'.
However, none of that mattered anymore.
What mattered was that the young master they needed to protect was dead.
The three guards exchanged bewildered glances.
"What do we do? Young Master has been killed! The Viscount will definitely blame us! We're doomed!"
"Should we run? We're all Soul Masters, what's there to be afraid of? We can't find a better way out!"
"Exactly! We've suffered so much following this spoiled brat! Good riddance! Good death!"
"Alright! After we leave Shuilan City, let's find a place to become sworn brothers. From now on, the three of us will be brothers. I'm the youngest, so I'll be the third brother."
"Then I'll be the second brother. You have higher soul power and are older than us, so you'll be our eldest brother."
"Good! I'll protect you from now on! Hey? Second brother, third brother, why did you pee?"
"Eldest brother, you peed too."
On the other side,Dongfang Jing checked the young master's storage soul tool.
After seeing that it contained a full one million gold soul coins, a smile appeared on his face.
Coming to this auction was definitely the right decision!
"Yao'er," he opened his arms, "Come on, brother will take you back to the inn quickly. When we get back, brother will give you a gift."
"Mmm!"
Dongfang Yao vaguely guessed what he would give her.
Her heart warmed.
After the siblings left, two figures silently emerged.
Shuilan City wasn't far from Tiandou City.
Hearing of the upcoming auction, even a small one,how could the wealthiest sect on the entire continent be absent?
Besides, the name of Lord Jing had already reached their ears.
One of these two,dressed in a moon-white robe, possessed a refined and gentle demeanor, a face like jade, and eyes that were both warm and profound—it was Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
He gazed in the direction Dongfang Jing had left, his tone filled with amazement and: "The word 'genius' is insufficient to describe this child of our time. He has truly become dazzling and enchanting. Even I find it difficult to fathom the depths of this child's abilities."
The old man standing beside him wore a simple, snow-white robe, his long silver hair neatly combed back. His face was ancient, but his eyes, when they opened and closed, were as sharp as swords.
Just standing there, an invisible sword intent that stung the skin naturally flowed around him.
It's none other than the titled Douluo known as the number one attacker, Sword Douluo Chen Xin!
