In the private rooms, no one was doing any bidding. All of them were waiting for the items coming in later, since the later items tended to be better, so no one was eager to bid for those that came out now.
Although the Purple Flesh LingZhi was good, for the four main powerful families, the item was not uncommon.
On the other side, Yun Qianyu looked at the item with envy.
The Purple Flesh LingZhi was good in restoring people’s Qi and strength. Consumption would lead to immediate effects. Even if it was not purified into an elixir pill, the effects were still very substantial.
Seeing how eager Yun Qianyu was, Xiao Yechen couldn’t help but ask her, “Feather, are you interested in the Purple Flesh LingZhi? If you like it we could…”
Yun Qianyu immediately shook her head. Her main goal today was to get the Essence Cleansing pill, so the Purple Flesh LingZhi was not important.
Yun Qianyu looked at Xiao Yechen and said, “No, I’ll wait. I think there must be something good later on.”
Xiao Yechen nodded, “That’s true, many good items do come out later.”
As the two chatted, the bidding downstairs had reached ten thousand Liang silver.
However, Yun Qianyu’s attention was no longer on the Purple Flesh LingZhi, but on the assassins that had tried to kill her the previous night. She wondered if Xiao Yechen had found out who the real culprit was.
“Xiao Yechen, how did the interrogation of the assassins go? Have you found out who the real culprit is?”
Xiao Yechen shook his head and said, “We didn’t find out who the real culprit was, but we got an interesting piece of information. It seemed that these people were killers from the Spirit Hunters. Someone has hired them to kill you. My ninth imperial uncle has already sent people to investigate who hired them.”
Yun Qianyu nodded and asked, “Were the green and cyan spirit energy users from the Spirit Hunters as well?”
Xiao Yechen shook his head and said, “Those three were not from the Spirit Hunters.”
Yun Qianyu looked worried as she deliberated seriously about who would pay the Spirit Hunters for her head.
All of a sudden, Yun Qianyu thought of Liu Shi. She recalled that fierce look from her, which was not typical of a housewife.
Yun Qianyu looked up at Xiao Yechen and said softly, “Could you send someone to check on Liu Shi secretly to see if she has someone powerful supporting her?”
Xiao Yechen was shocked, “You’re not saying that the assassins were sent by Madame Liu, are you? If she paid for the assassins, how could she get a cyan and two green spirit energy users? Even Marquis Yun Lei wouldn’t have such powerful characters around him.”
Yun Qianyu shook her head and explained, “I don’t know whether the powerful spirit energy users were from Liu Shi, but I have a feeling she’s not that simple. I can’t underestimate her.”
After hearing her explanation, Xiao Yechen nodded and said, “Alright, in that case, I’ll send someone to check.”
Recalling that Xiao Jiuyuan was also in the room, Xiao Yechen turned around and asked, “Ninth imperial uncle, who do you want to send over?”
Xiao Jiuyuan had a cold look on his face, and his eyes also showed his displeasure. He seemed to be in a bad mood.
After some time, Xiao Yechen realized that his ninth imperial uncle was mad. ‘Who provoked the man?’
Xiao Yechen turned to Yun Qianyu and gave her a look, ‘What’s up with him?’
Yun Qianyu shrugged her shoulders, ‘I don’t know’.
