Even though Longyan Academy and Nanmu Auction signed a Heaven and Earth Contract, and the news that Qu Shanling signed a twenty-year indenture contract was released at the same time, Longyan Academy’s fame was so great that Qu Shanling’s name was very easily overlooked.
"Indeed, it is I," Qu Shanling was not angry, and even seemed somewhat proud of himself. Newest update provided by novel⁂fire.net
Even though he was overlooked, being remembered at all, and mentioned alongside Longyan Academy, was already a great honor.
"Huaidong, what’s the background of this Nanmu Auction? Why haven’t I heard of it before?" the Third Elder asked, puzzled.
"I heard it’s just a small Chamber of Commerce that hasn’t been established for long, but it’s quite powerful, which is why Longyan Academy took special notice of them. I heard that the person they signed the Heaven and Earth Contract with this time is quite remarkable, a Holy Dragon Master, no less, and also the Dean of Longyan Academy’s Illusion Dragon Branch," Mu Huaidong spoke with excitement and aspiration.
A Holy Dragon Master, Dean of the Illusion Dragon Branch, either of these identities alone would draw all eyes, and make Capital tremble three times with a single stomp; for someone like Mu Huaidong, even briefly meeting him and exchanging a few words was a great honor, but unfortunately, he didn’t have that opportunity.
The rest of the Mu Family’s disciples also looked on with envy, their eyes filled with little stars.
As for him, wasn’t he just a ravenous sloven? If you saw him in his Holy Dragon Robe, you probably wouldn’t even be able to eat your meal, Mu Nan thought disdainfully.
He suddenly realized that, ever since he had started dealing with Mu Hanyan, his life had become incredibly exciting, and his perspective had completely changed.
He had ambition in the world of commerce, but he also knew that, while ambitions were one thing, realizing them was unrealistic. He used to be content with just establishing Nanmu Auction’s presence in Heishi City, but now he felt that a small place like Heishi City could no longer satisfy his appetite. At the very least, he should strive to make Nanmu Auction the biggest Chamber of Commerce in Nanxi County, if only to honor the Heaven and Earth Contract with Wenren Qingqiu.
Mu Nan’s eyes suddenly shone bright; indeed, this change in attitude was the most significant influence that Mu Hanyan had on him.
"I see, in a few days we shall visit Master Qu and also the owner of Nanmu Chamber of Commerce. To erect a Heaven and Earth Contract with Longyan Academy, this person must be extraordinary, and we mustn’t neglect him," the Third Elder said seriously.
Qu Shanling almost laughed out loud: Look, look, even you think this person is extraordinary, I wasn’t wrong before! What a pity, though, the extraordinary person is right before your eyes, but you regard him as self-degrading and shameful. It’s I who had foresight, having seen his uniqueness early on, otherwise, I wouldn’t have shamelessly asked for a fifty percent share in Nanmu Auction.
Without these events, the later occurrences wouldn’t have happened, it would’ve been impossible to meet a Star Divination prodigy like Mu Hanyan, and even less likely to have the opportunity to resolve a life-and-death calamity.
Divine Fortune Teller, I am not just an ordinary Star Divination Master, I am truly a god among them! Ha ha... Hahaha.
The old god-man shamelessly praised himself, his face full of mirth and pride.
However, one wonders, if the Third Elder knew that the owner of Nanmu Chamber of Commerce he deemed so important, was his own grandchild whom he thought was self-degrading and without shame, what would his expression be like?
