Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Xiao Han finished speaking, the people around him also spoke up.
“As the saying goes, a gentleman is not well liked. Since Master Xiao has taken a fancy to it, let him have it.
“If you give it to Master Xiao, he will definitely owe you a favor.
“With Master Xiao as a friend, you can definitely do whatever you want in East Sea City in the future!”
“.....”
The voices kept ringing, but Lin Tianhai, the City Lord of East Sea City, was about to vomit blood.
Do whatever I want, my *ss!
That was His Highness Shen Ran!
Just as Lin Tianhai was feeling anxious, Shen Ran’s voice suddenly sounded.
“It’s been a month since we last met. I didn’t expect you, Xiao Han, to be so arrogant.” His voice was calm, but it was filled with mockery.
The moment he heard this voice, Xiao Han was instantly stunned.
He was too familiar with this voice!
He never expected that the person competing with him was Shen Ran!
At this moment, he recalled his defeat in the Fallen Phoenix Hill mystic realm and thought of how his woman had been snatched away by Shen Ran!
In an instant, Xiao Hanhan’s entire body trembled. His eyes were bloodshot, and a killing intent rose.
“Shen Ran! It’s actually you!”
He was furious. He wanted to kill Shen Ran immediately.
At this moment, Elder Yan, who was inside the jade pendant, comforted him in time. “Xiao Han, don’t be rash. You’re not his match yet. It’s not too late to take revenge after you obtain the Heavenly Flame in the East Sea Mystic Realm!”
Elder Yan kept comforting Xiao Han.

“What?! Shen Ran!”
“Did I hear wrongly? The person in Room 1 is one of the three Dao Seeds of the Empyrean Sword Sect, His Highness Shen Ran.”
“Oh my god, no wonder he can enter Room 1!”
“His Highness Shen Ran, who defeated the Zhou family’s Zhou Ziran, crushed the young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Gu Shujue, and suppressed the geniuses of the entire Southern Region?!”
“I didn’t expect His Highness Shen to come to East Sea City!”
For a moment, there was an uproar. As everyone spoke, they couldn’t help but distance themselves from Xiao Han.
What a joke. Even 10 Xiao Hans could not compare to a Dao Seed of the Empyrean Sword Sect!
In Room 3, Wu Xingtian’s expression changed when he heard this name.
At the same time, he was glad that he had not bid.
At that moment, the auctioneer on the auction stage slammed his hammer down anxiously.
“I announce that this Heavenly Star Jade Immortal Herb is sold for 15 million!”
The auctioneer was also anxious because before going on stage, the president had instructed him to give the guest at Room 1 as much as possible no matter what he bid at the auction.
If not for Xiao Han’s previous bid, he would have slammed down the hammer sooner!
The moment the hammer fell, Xiao Han, who was below the stage, stared at Room 1 with a livid expression.
“Shen Ran! Just you wait!”
After saying that, Xiao Han left reluctantly.
At the same time, he swore to himself that he would definitely take revenge!
The key to this revenge was not only the East Sea Mystic Realm, but also the banquet tomorrow.
As long as he could obtain the guidance of an alchemy master, he would definitely make Shen Ran kneel down and beg for mercy!
After Xiao Han left, a staff member respectfully carried the Heavenly Star Jade Immortal Herb to Room 1.
Zhao Honglian also took out 15 million spirit stones.
Although the auction house insisted on not wanting it, Shen Ran still handed over the spirit stones.
After all, it was auctioned. There was no need to take advantage as far as the spirit stones were concerned.
He already had more than 10 million spirit stones. Coupled with the large amount in the storage bag of the Heavenly Demon Sect elder he had obtained previously, it was adequate.
After completing the transaction, he left the private room with the two women.
There was an exclusive passageway in the private room, so no one noticed when Shen Ran and the others left.
He brought the two women back to the residence arranged by the City Lord and began to study the Heavenly Star Jade Immortal Herb.
...
The next day, Xiao Han left the residence early and went straight to the City Lord Residence.
Because he had met Shen Ran at the auction yesterday, the hatred between them appeared in Xiao Han’s mind every night before nightfall.
Everything in the Fallen Phoenix Hill mystic realm, including the woman who belonged to him but served Shen Ran respectfully.
When Xiao Han thought of all these, he could not accept what happened.
In order to defeat Shen Ran, he had spent a lot of effort to find a valuable spiritual herb in order to obtain the favor of an alchemy master!
The gloom on Xiao Han’s face turned into a smile as he walked towards the City Lord Residence.
As soon as he entered the City Lord Residence, he saw Lin Tianhai walking out.
Lin Tianhai seemed to have forgotten what had happened the day before.
Although Lin Tianhai knew that Shen Ran was outstanding in the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm, he did not know the details.
And the competition the day before was just a very ordinary competition in his opinion.
Lin Tianhai even thought that with that competition, they would get along very well at this banquet. After all, the two of them had met each other.
It was mainly because the private room in the auction house had isolated all the aura from the outside world. Coupled with the problem of vision, if he had sensed the killing intent emitted by Xiao Han at that time, Lin Tianhai would definitely regret bitterly.
Now that he saw Xiao Han walking over, he said solemnly, “Brother Xiao, this expert of the Empyrean Sword Sect is very accomplished in alchemy. You must not offend him later.”
Xiao Han nodded and raised the gift in his hand.
“Don’t worry, City Lord. I know the severity. I even specially prepared a top-notch spiritual herb for this senior.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLin Tianhai nodded slightly when he heard that. “That’s good. If you can obtain this person’s guidance, Brother Xiao will become an alchemy master soon.”
“Go to the main hall and wait for a while. Coincidentally, the family heads in the city have also arrived. Go and meet them.”
“The expert of the Empyrean Sword Sect should be here soon!”
“Okay!” Xiao Han replied and went in with the gift.
Moreover, when he entered, he had been thinking about how to flatter this alchemy master later.
He did not take those so-called family heads to heart at all.
Just as Xiao Han left, Shen Ran arrived with Liu Nanzhi and Zhao Honglian.
When he saw the three of them, Lin Tianhai instantly smiled.
“Your Highness, you’re here.”
“Quick, please come in...”
Facing Shen Ran, Lin Tianhai was full of respect and kept making inviting gestures.
Shen Ran also followed Lin Tianhai towards the main hall.
At the same time, he sized up the City Lord Residence.
The environment of the City Lord Residence was alright, but it was not luxurious.
This was enough to prove that Lin Tianhai was not the kind of city lord who preyed on the commoners.
He came to the main hall.
At a glance, he could see some old men chatting and laughing.
At the same time, Lin Tianhai also found Xiao Han.
At this moment, Xiao Han was talking to an old man with a smile.
Lin Tianhai walked over and said, “Brother Xiao, this is the expert of the Empyrean Sword Sect that I mentioned to you. Come and meet him.”
Hearing Lin Tianhai’s voice, everyone perked up.
Xiao Han hurriedly picked up the gift and turned around with an incomparably bright smile.
“Hello, Senior. I...”
Just as he finished speaking, he turned around and suddenly saw a face.
A figure that gave him nightmares all day long and one he could recognize even if he turned to dust.
“Shen... Shen Ran.”
