"Hmm, how should I say this..."
Shang Ting hearing his word looked at him and asked: "What do you mean?"
"Well, the way she acted... That w.a.n.g Yaling is clearly being used as a means, if you look at it this way, she would crawl to whoever has a power, can you even see her reaction?"
Mo Xie spoke as he looked at w.a.n.g Yalin from the 2nd floor, Shang Ting followed his vision and asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Hahaha, would you even blush if your father is marrying you to someone that you haven't even seen before?" Mo Xie explained as he laughed.
Shang Ting opened her eyes widely as she felt enlightened, her mouth is in a shape of an 'o' and replied: "Then... What is she doing?"
"Basically, these people are called 'Power Diggers', they are those ones that will immediately dive in an opportunity to have power or have ties with someone that has one."
Mo Xie looked at Shang Ting and continued: "Can you see it? Do you think that I am someone easily pleased?"
Shang Ting opened her eyes widely again in understanding, she then blushes as she looked at the ground; 'Does that mean... I... I'm...'
"Well, you are certainly not someone like that, you met me when I was at my weakest, and I currently am, you even fought your father to fight for the promise you had given me, that is something I'm really grateful and pleased for." Mo Xie explained like he already understood what Shang Ting is thinking.
Shang Ting became fl.u.s.tered as she looked at the ground, her face turned red as she punched Mo Xie on the shoulder.
"Hahaha, well, let's just see how the event unfolds."
"Un."
.

...
Hearing w.a.n.g Juxie's proposal, a lot of people felt shocked, everyone started to make a plan of their own, how could they beat such a big deal!
Ye Xuefeng glanced at his daughter, Qingchen but after a while, he shook his head and made another bid: "Ye Family, Bids 1,000 gold taels, and the esteemed guest can pick two items from the Ye Family's treasury!"
Ma Dong felt shocked, only the people from the direct line of the Ye Family can choose a treasure from their Treasury, even then, they will need to at least accomplish something noteworthy before they can get a single treasure out, this proposal is definitely a huge deal!
Ma Dong looked at the 3rd floor for any reaction.
Mo Xie sighed, does he need to be looked at whenever there is a bid? treasury? What kind of item will even attract him in a low place like this?
"Continue, please do me the favor of selecting the five best offers and I will decide by then." Mo Xie's voice echoed through the whole venue, everyone felt excited.
But some has a question, where is the senior from before? this struck a lot of the great clans and the City lord's faction.
Ma Dong nodded as he looked at the crowd: "Everyone, you heard the esteemed guest!"
"Shen Clan! ...."
"Jiang Clan! ..."
Everyone started to bid again, one after another.
Meanwhile, on the 3rd floor, Shang Ting was shocked as she looked at Mo Xie: "Hey! Why didn't you accept the Ye Family's offer?"
Mo Xie looked at Shang Ting as she replied: "You don't want me to pick the w.a.n.g Clan's offer that much?"
Shang Ting blushes a bit but rebuked: "The Ye Clan's the most influential family within the whole of Gangting City! Their Family had a history of 10,000 years! their treasury is sure to have a lot of great things! You will definitely find something worthy there!"
Mo Xie was shocked, this is a first for Shang Ting to actually rebuked him, he couldn't help but chuckle and replied: "Then, I will just take an item or two after this then."
"That... What will you give them in exchange?!" Shang Ting asked in bewilderment.
"A promise." Mo Xie spoke so little, but within his eyes, Shang Ting can see a clear confidence.
She became speechless and could only sigh in the end, but just then, another bidder shouted.
"Alchemy a.s.sociation! 1,000 Gold Taels! and I'm promising that 60% of the total profit from the pills will be given to the esteemed guest for 2 years, also, we will promise, so long as we can, we will concoct a pill for him if it is within our capabilities, we will also not steal the formula!"
Hearing this, a smile formed in Mo Xie's face: "I pick the Alchemy a.s.sociation's offer, but I will only take 35% of the total profit!" The one that placed the bid was none other than Mu Ye.
Shang Ting was also shocked, it seemed like Mo Xie had been planning for it for all this while, everything didn't seem like a coincidence, more like a heavily planned scheme!
"This... How... Then we are grateful for esteemed guest's kindness." Mu Ye bowed as he handed the 1,000 gold taels to the attendant and received the paper, reading everything, Mu Ye immediately felt elated.
With this, every tier 2 peak-grade alchemist in the Alchemy a.s.sociation will have a chance of breaking into the 3rd tier!
Ma Dong smiled as he looked at the guests and spoke: "Okay everyone, thank you for coming to the Dragon Gate Treasured Pavilion, until we meet again."
Everyone stood up as they clasped their hands towards Ma Dong and made their way.
Just at this moment, on the 3rd floor, Mo Xie's voice sounded.
"For the Ye Family, I wish to also take your offer, in exchange for a promise from me."
Ye Xuefeng and w.a.n.g Jixue halt their walk as they looked at the 3rd floor, even the rest of the people going to the exit stopped, they wanted to see it too, to hear this piece of events!
Ye Xuefeng then asked: "What promise does the esteemed guest propose?"
Although Xuefeng only wanted the formula, he is also intrigued, what kind of deal will this mysterious person actually offer?
"A promise, that's it." Mo Xie replied.
"A promise?" Ye Xuefeng frowned; "Please enlighten this one, I do not understand your words."
"You see, my wife is a little curious about your treasury that has a history of ten thousand years, so I think that I want to grant her, my wife, to take a stroll inside." Mo Xie spoke and paused.
"A promise from me, no matter what it is, no matter what you need, so long as the value of the treasure we pick wouldn't exceed two folds." Mo Xie explained.
Hearing this, Ye Xuefeng frowned, a promise? for their treasure? what kind of absurd deal is this?
But Xuefeng still kept his calm and replied: "What if, it is to make one of my family members ascend from a bronze rank pract.i.tioner to the black gold rank!?"
"EASILY DONE!" Mo Xie replied, his tone is huge and full of confidence.
Everyone inside the hall was astounded, to reach black gold rank? it is easy? all the people inside were shocked, the number of experts with the rank of black gold rank is limited inside the Gangting City, yet this esteemed guest actually promised it like it is of no big deal?
Xuefeng pondered for a while, with the power of the senior earlier, he can guess that it is plausible too, after a while, he replied: "Then, esteemed guest, when will you decide to take a stroll in our Ye Family's manor?"
"Three hours from now." Mo Xie immediately replied, he needed to do something and needs to have a conversation with the Alchemist a.s.sociation afterward.
Xuefeng then added: "But esteemed guest, how will we know the value of exchange?"
"That will be easy, so long as your request is within the boundary and I deem it fit for the exchange, I will accept immediately."
Mo Xie's reply made a lot of people shuddered, does that mean, they wouldn't know the actual price of the value of the item, they can only guess the value? But that would mean, if their request is too little, they will lose out!
"Then, I will see esteemed guest later in the Ye Family Manor!" Xuefeng smiled as he clasped his hands and bowed to the direction of Mo Xie.
Everyone was shocked, the City Lord accepted it just like that?!
"Esteemed guest, how about my offer?" Another voice sounded.
Everyone looked at the location of it and saw w.a.n.g Jixue clasping his hands as he looked at the 3rd floor.
"I already have a wife, and I wouldn't need another one for now." Mo Xie immediately replied, although he rejected, he still spoke of it in a tone that would give the w.a.n.g Clan some s.p.a.ce.
Clearly, everyone knows of it, the esteemed guest is giving the w.a.n.g Clan a face, a way to back out now.
w.a.n.g Jixue felt enraged, a tie with their w.a.n.g Clan is not enough? but thinking of the senior earlier, he calmed down and bowed.
"Then, if ever the esteemed guest changes his mind, the doors of our w.a.n.g Clan will always be open." w.a.n.g Jixue immediately walks out together with w.a.n.g Yaling.
w.a.n.g Yaling glared at the 3rd floor as a hint of killing intent surged out unconsciously from her.
"Let's go." Everyone started to exit the Dragon Gate Treasured Pavilion in an orderly manner.
Mo Xie smiled as he looked at the Alchemy a.s.sociation's group, Mu Ye, and spoke: "How about the Alchemist a.s.sociation remain, for now, I need to talk to you first."
Hearing Mo Xie's words, Mu Ye smiled as he clasped his hands: "It will be my pleasure to talk to the esteemed guest!"
Mu Ye and his disciple clasped their hands together towards Mo Xie.
Mo Xie nodded as he sat on the chamber again
"Go and call the others outside, tell them to come in first" Mu Ye instructed his disciple, the latter nodded and made her way out.
