Chapter 64 The Miao Clan’s Invitation
“Thank you all for participating in this auction. Today’s auction ends here.”
Even though the auction had ended, the crowd’s enthusiasm had not subsided. They were still immersed in the auction. After all, such a scene could only be seen once in their lives.
Whether it was the top sixth-level Spirit Tempering Pill or the low seventh-level Broken Cloud Sword Manual, it was enough to broaden their horizons. This trip was not in vain. They could boast about this auction for a lifetime.
At this moment, there was an undercurrent between the four great clans.
“Congratulations, Brother Du. After bidding for this sword manual, I believe that your strength will definitely rise to another level in the future.”
Wang Zhong was worthy of being the clan leader. He smiled and went up to congratulate the Du clan. This kind of magnanimity and breadth of mind was truly incomparable.
In comparison, Miao Jian and the others appeared somewhat cold. However, they walked forward with gloomy expressions and said, “Congratulations, but whether or not you can learn it is another issue. Otherwise, spending so many spirit stones to bid for it would be a waste.”
The rest of the words were purely to disgust people. Anyone could see the unwillingness of the Miao clan members.
Du Nanfeng did not care at all. He said indifferently, “There’s no need for Brother Miao to worry. Our Du clan has many disciples. No matter how disappointing we are, we can still have a disciple who can grasp a move. On the other hand, Brother Miao doesn’t even have the chance to do so.”
Du Wan also chimed in from the side. “Father, let’s not worry about it. Didn’t the Miao clan also bid for the Spirit Tempering Pill? Anyone can take the pill. It’s unlike cultivating sword techniques which require talent. Presumably, the Miao clan’s strength will also rise, unlike us who still have to study the sword manual.”
What did he mean by anyone can take the pill?! Hearing this, the Miao father and son were so angry that their facial features were a little distorted.
On the surface, it was indeed as Du Wan said. There was no threshold for the pill to be taken. Once taken, it would immediately take effect, and one’s strength would rapidly increase.
However, how could a sixth-level pill compare to a seventh-level sword manual? Once one successfully learned the Broken Cloud Sword Manual, it would be comparable to the effects of several Spirit Tempering Pills.
Moreover, there was only one medicinal pill, but the sword manual could be learned by anyone with talent. Even if one did not have such talent, it could be passed down from generation to generation. These two items could not be compared at all!
The atmosphere of the Miao and Du clans was suddenly a little tense, and the smell of gunpowder in the air became even more intense. Wang Zhongcai’s eyelids twitched as he watched from the side, afraid that they would fight if they did not agree with each other.
Originally, the Du clan would not go against the Miao clan in such a situation. After all, their strength had not reached the stage where they could compete with each other. Naturally, they would avoid the fight if they could.
However, ever since the demonic beast sent by Lin Mo, and Du Nanfeng who had also recently broken through and gained some confidence, he was not afraid of Miao Jian and the others at all.
Miao Jian’s expression was dark and cold. He seemed to have thought of something and slowly revealed a smile. “Brother Du, you’re too modest. I still have important matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first.”
After saying this, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
The Du father and son looked at each other and felt that it was a little strange. Leaving just like that was really not like Miao Jian’s character. However, they could not explain why.
After all, the Miao and Du clans had fought for so long, and the existence who understood their enemies the most was their opponent. Du Nanfeng felt that he understood Miao Jian quite well.
Seeing them walk toward Lin Mo, he could not help but say, “Let’s go. Let’s follow them and see what’s going on.”
Seeing the Miao clan walk over, Wu Jin frowned and could not help but remind Lin Mo, “Master, be careful. They don’t come with good intentions.”
Everyone could see that Miao Jian also wanted the Broken Cloud Sword Manual, but he did not manage to bid for it. The conflict with Du Nanfeng and the others earlier was also seen by everyone. It was hard to say if they would vent their anger on Lin Mo.
However, Lin Mo was not afraid at all. He did not believe that Miao Jian had the guts to make a move right now.
Unexpectedly, Miao Jian’s attitude was very calm. It could even be said that he was amiable.
“Previously, I was a little unhappy with Mr. Lin, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was all a misunderstanding. I hope you can give me a chance invite you to my abode to hold a banquet to apologize to
you.”
These words were heard by Du Nanfeng and the others who had rushed over from behind. They could not help but mutter, “The sun has risen from the west! Miao Jian lowered his head to admit his mistake. This is really strange.”
The father and son looked at each other. This really did not seem like Miao Jian’s style.
“Could it be that he realized that Lin Mo is powerful and he wants to mend their relationship? Not only can Lin Mo take out a sixth-level medicinal pill, but he also has a seventh-level sword manual.”
It was not impossible, but based on Miao Jian’s character, he was someone who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. If he did not let Lin Mo off the hook, he would definitely not let this matter rest. How could he so easily make peace now?
Seeing that Lin Mo did not reply immediately, Miao Jian continued, “After all, we’re still in Qingyang City and we’ll meet each other often. I even prepared some small gifts. I hope that I can meet you with a smile and forget about the enmity between us.”
Miao Jian’s attitude was so low. After all, he was the leader of the four great clans. If Lin Mo rejected him, it would be a matter of public opinion. He would say things like Lin Mo was arrogant and did not know how to appreciate favors.
Wu Jin reminded Lin Mo in a low voice, “Things are bound to go wrong. I think Master should be more careful. Why don’t you just find an excuse to reject him?”
Lin Mo naturally knew the reason behind it. After all, he and Miao Jian had a deep grudge, and they had offended each other several times. In addition to the interference of the Lin clan, no matter how he looked at it, there was no way for them to be on good terms.
Since he knew that the other party had malicious intentions, he had to be on guard and would not step into the other party’s trap. However, Lin Mo’s thoughts were different from others.
“Since the leader of the Miao clan has extended a cordial invitation, how could I refuse? After I settle the matters at the auction, I’ll immediately visit you.”
Hearing these words, Miao Yan, who was at the side, immediately revealed a malicious smile. On the other hand, Miao Jian’s expression remained the same. There seemed to be a layer of faint fog deep within his eyes, and the true expression on his face could not be seen clearly.
