Chapter 434: Chapters 186 to 187: You Say You Are Shen Changqing? (Two-in-One Chapter, Asking for Monthly Votes)_4

If an auction house can’t even handle appraisals well, it can’t possibly grow and strengthen. The Yuanyang Auction House’s current reputation was certainly not unfounded.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing nodded, set down his teacup, and stood up.

"I’ll have to trouble your auction house with this matter. In three months’ time, spread the word to the greatest extent possible."

"No problem at all," Steward No.1 nodded.

As Shen Changqing reached the door, he paused.

"By the way, where is the black market in South Nether Prefecture located?"

"There are black markets within a hundred-mile radius of Baiyue City, South Sea City, and Mountain-Breaking City. Lord Shen may choose any of them."

"Then let’s go with Mountain-Breaking City!"

Shen Changqing was speechless. The Yuanyang Auction House was certainly adept at choosing locations. All three black markets in South Nether Prefecture were situated near cities housing branches of the Demon-Subduing Division. On second thought, their reasoning was sound. After all, no place was safer than being right next to the Demon-Subduing Division. In an era where Demon Evils ran rampant, even the black markets possessed little power to resist them. Establishing themselves near the Demon-Subduing Division was, therefore, the safest option.

「 」

After leaving the black market, Shen Changqing returned to the Demon-Subduing Division. He didn’t go anywhere else, heading straight for the Martial Hall. The difference was that the previously tightly shut doors of the Martial Hall were now open.

Is anyone here?

Seeing the open doors of the Martial Hall, Shen Changqing raised an eyebrow. He didn’t hesitate and stepped inside.

When he arrived at the third floor, he saw a person sitting there, slowly flipping through scrolls.

Noticing the sound, the person looked up. When he saw who it was, he was momentarily startled.

"It’s you!"

"Grandmaster Di," Shen Changqing smiled faintly. He recognized the person as Di Qiu, with whom he had conversed a few times before.

In the past, Di Qiu had seemed like a rather enigmatic master in his presence. But looking at him now, his strength wasn’t actually that impressive. At most, he was hovering between the middle and late stages of the Grandmaster realm.

Di Qiu said with a smile, "I didn’t expect to run into you again, young friend."

"Weren’t you heading to Luo’an Prefecture, Grandmaster Di? Have you returned because the conflict there is over?"

"Wars aren’t so easily concluded. Great Zhou has a powerful offensive, and driving them out of Luo’an Prefecture is no trivial task. It’s only because the situation has recently eased that I was able to find a moment to return."

Di Qiu shook his head with a wry smile. Great Zhou’s attack on Luo’an Prefecture had already lasted a long time. In terms of national strength, Great Zhou is also formidable. Truly driving them out of Luo’an Prefecture isn’t an easy feat.

Speaking of this, Di Qiu seemed to recall something and asked uncertainly, "Speaking of which, young friend, what was your name again? I seem to have forgotten. I recall your surname is Shen, correct?"

As he spoke, he scrutinized Shen Changqing intently.

The surname Shen wasn’t particularly unusual in itself. However, Di Qiu had recently received news that the previous Martial Hall Master had defected, and the new Martial Hall Master was named Shen Changqing. This name felt somewhat unfamiliar to him. Yet, upon seeing Shen Changqing now, an undeniable sense of familiarity surged within him. Initially, Di Qiu hadn’t paid much attention to Shen Changqing, so he hadn’t remembered his full name, only vaguely recalling the surname Shen. Now, he couldn’t resist asking. Of course, in Di Qiu’s mind, the person before him likely had no significant connection to the new Martial Hall Master.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing smiled faintly. "My name is Shen Changqing."

"Oh, so it is... Wait, Shen Changqing? You’re saying you are Shen Changqing!"

Di Qiu nodded subconsciously. The next instant, he shot up from his seat, his gaze fixed on Shen Changqing, filled with utter shock.

Shen Changqing! The Martial Hall Master, Shen Changqing! He couldn’t believe it. It was highly unlikely for the Martial Hall, given its size, to have two individuals with the exact same name. If that was the case, then there was only one explanation. The person standing before him was indeed the new Martial Hall Master.
