429: Chapter 424: Despicable Wisdom 429: Chapter 424: Despicable Wisdom “650 gold!”
“680 gold!”
Since everything was now out in the open, these guild leaders were no longer playing coy, each jumping in with their bids.
Within no ti, the atmosphere in the auction house heated up with the diagram’s price shooting through the roof.
The spectators held their breaths, eyes riveted to the unfolding scene, fearful of missing even a single spectacular mont.
However.
The auctioneer, Tan Fatty, on stage completely ignored the vehent bidding taking place in the auction house.
He seed more like a spectator now, eyes closed as if asleep.
Just then, Su Ran turned his gaze to the pretty boy next to him.
“I heard your guild leader say earlier that the territory belongs to him now?
What’s the real story?”
Su Ran was surprised by this bombshell piece of news, as he seed to have missed out on a lot of drama during his ti in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.
“Guild leader?
I quit the guild a long ti ago!
Whatever happens to the Righteous and Indomitable Guild from now on doesn’t concern one bit.”
The pretty boy chuckled lightly, brushing off the issue nonchalantly.
“Ridiculous!
Just because they sidelined you, you throw a fit like a child?
Quitting the guild every ti things don’t go your way, is that fun?”
Su Ran was genuinely angry, his voice rising.
How could this pretty boy fail to endure even the slightest setback?
And now, having quit two guilds consecutively, he didn’t seem to care about damaging his reputation!
“SmokyGhost once told that after your demotion, your spirits were low and I was to cheer you up.
Now you just went and quit the guild altogether.
Have you ever thought about your source of inco?
You still have many good friends in the guild.
How will you face them in the future?”
To Su Ran’s surprise, the pretty boy just laughed: “What’s to fear if I’m out of money?
You can support !”
Caught off guard, Su Ran blushed profusely, thankfully his mask prevented his embarrassnt from showing.
“Look how scared you got, I was just joking!”
Looking at Su Ran’s stunned face, the pretty boy couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Hearing her laughter, Su Ran relaxed.
He couldn’t help thinking to himself, ‘This is more like it.
With my half-dead appearance, how could any beautiful girl be interested in ?’
Then he heard the pretty boy continue, “It’s all the bastard Zhi Yuanxing’s doing, blaming others.
Do you know, Overturning Water?
After Ni Wudao’s territory was occupied by the Beast Clan, for so unknown reason, the Beast Clan army launched another major attack on the Imperial City.
Reinforcents who ca to their aid ended up in a battle with the Beast Clan that left both sides severely battered.
Just then, Zhi Yuanxing seized the opportunity amidst the chaos to reclaim the territory.
He was lucky too, no beast remained in the territory, so he naturally assud control.”
Upon hearing this, Su Ran could easily imagine the scene at that ti.
He was the primary instigator of all these events.
He had lured the Beast Clan army away, which led to their confrontation with the players.
That was when he ran into SmokyGhost and learned about the pretty boy’s demotion.
However, Zhi Yuanxing had been decidedly lucky.
He must have arrived not long after Su Ran looted the territory and left.
The altar in the territory had been destroyed and Zhi Yuanxing therefore naturally assud the title of the lord of the territory.
“That bastard didn’t lift a finger and ended up with a territory for nothing.
He was so excited.
Afraid that Ni Wudao would demand the territory back, he used so random excuse to kick Ni Wudao out of the guild.”
The pretty boy spoke with great indignation, her fists clenched tightly, “Poor Ni Wudao.
He hadn’t been in the guild for half a day.
He had barely settled into his position as vice-leader when this selfish bastard discarded him.”
Upon hearing this, Su Ran was astonished.
He had seen shaless people before, but no one was as shaless as Zhi Yuanxing!
“Hehe, your guild leader, he’s really one of a kind.
His skin is so thick, he could apply for a Guinness World Record!”
Su Ran admired him incredibly and silently observed a few seconds of silence for Ni Wudao.
This poor fellow was finally getting so gains in the ga, becoming both the vice-leader of a guild and possessing a territory.
But obviously, Zhi Yuanxing pulled the rug out from under him, returning him back to square one.
After such an episode, wouldn’t Ni Wudao start questioning his life?
“Who’d disagree?
We players who are on good terms have seen through his shaless face.
We all felt disgusted at his selfish and petty behavior, so, a group of us, more than a dozen players, quietly quit the guild together.
We blocked his friend’s card directly!
Since then, we have completely severed ties with that despicable fellow!”
After saying her piece, the pretty boy finally let out a breath, complaining to Su Ran, “Don’t ntion this scum anymore, it gets worked up the more we talk about him!”
“I’m sorry for misunderstanding you just now.
If it were too, I wouldn’t stay in such a garbage guild either!”
Su Ran adjusted his mask, then continued to ask, “What about the ten or so higher-level players you left with?
You can’t get by without a guild.”
“We’ve discussed it, we plan to establish a new guild.
My younger brother owns a territory, so it’s killing two birds with one stone!”
The pretty boy gave Su Ran a smile and said, “That’s why I’m willing to borrow money to bid for this blueprint.
Not only will it make my brother happy, but it will also provide better defense for the territory.
Why not do it?”
What?!
They want to develop in his territory?
Su Ran was dumbfounded.
He was a mber of the Undead from the Demon world.
Naturally, he wouldn’t allow players from the Celestial Realm’s Human Race to exist within his territory.
If they wanted to develop in his territory, they would have to renounce their Human Race identity and join the Demon Faction.
But, was that even possible?
Hearing the pretty boy’s presumptuous words, Su Ran had to resist the urge to burst her bubble.
“Oh, no!
I was so occupied chatting with you that I almost forgot to bid!
If they managed to snag the blueprint during this ti, I would be so frustrated!”
Before she could finish speaking, the pretty boy quickly turned her attention back to the auction house outside.
“I’ve set my sights on this blueprint, let’s see if you dare bite .
1500 gold!”
Just then, a player’s arrogant words ca over.
The pretty boy looked up to see that this speaker was none other than Dai Xuan, the guild leader of Dancing Demons.
“That was close, almost missed it!”
She clutched her chest, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then her eyebrows wrinkled slightly as she hesitated to make a bid.
“Overturning Water, have these people gone crazy?!
A blueprint sold for 1500 gold?
Are they burning money because they have too much?”
Su Ran shook his head and laughed, saying, “At this point, you can’t just look at the value of the blueprint itself.
This is a battle of face between several guild leaders.
As long as they win, it’s worth it even if they spend a bit more gold.”
“Damn it, when immortals fight, it is the commoners who suffer!”
The pretty boy said angrily, “With them inflating the price like this, how am I supposed to buy it?!
It’s so annoying, I have a total of a little over 2000 gold coins on hand.
I thought it would be more than enough to buy a blueprint, but with their manipulation, it’s hanging by a thread!”
