Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1766 - 1718: Disgraced and Dishonored

Capítulo 1766: Chapter 1718: Disgraced and Dishonored

“As long as you pay 700,000 world stones, young master here will let you have this Netherworld Water Lily…”

The handsome young man looked down at Xiao Yi, with a charitable expression.

Xuanyuan Yuwei’s lips subtly curved; this young man was also her specially chosen pawn. In Xuanyuan Yuwei’s view, with the identity of a direct descendant of the Xuanyuan Clan assuring authenticity, no one would doubt the genuineness of the Netherworld Water Lily.

Xiao Yi pretended to hesitate, turned around and glanced at Gou Butong, “Gou, who is this?”

Gou Butong was taken aback. He initially wanted to continue persuading Xiao Yi not to get involved, but recalling Xiao Yi’s earlier message, he said, “He is Xuanyuan Rufeng, the direct young master of the Xuanyuan Clan, and his father is the current patriarch of the Xuanyuan Clan!”

Xuanyuan Rufeng arrogantly said, “What? Worried that I, young master, would trick you? Rest assured, tens of thousands of world stones indeed mean a lot to others, but to me, they are nothing!”

Speaking as he did.

Seeing Xiao Yi still hesitant, Xuanyuan Rufeng displayed a displeased look, “Hmph, I am only willing to yield the Netherworld Water Lily to you because you saved Yuwei. If you don’t want it, then I’ll buy it myself!”

Xuanyuan Yuwei also spoke up now, “Benefactor, if you truly don’t have enough world stones, I can lend you some.”

The surrounding onlookers saw this, and all praised, “Xuanyuan Yuwei and Xuanyuan Rufeng are really decent people, not bullying others while also grateful.”

“But I think this person is indecisive. Isn’t he too ungrateful?”

“I think he might really have no money!”

Everyone said one after another.

Xiao Yi remained silent.

Xuanyuan Yuwei felt anxious inside, but outwardly maintained a calm, slight smile, though her eyes drifted towards Lin Sancheng.

Receiving Xuanyuan Yuwei’s signal, Lin Sancheng impatiently urged, “Are you going to bid or not? If not, this Netherworld Water Lily will belong to Miss Xuanyuan.”

Everyone’s gaze fell on Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi pretended to ponder, stroked his chin, and finally with a decisive look, turned to Gou Butong and said, “Gou, could you lend me one million world stones?”

“One million?”

Gou Butong’s pupils slightly contracted.

If anyone else dared speak to him like this, he would have slapped them already.

One million world stones!

Even for their Rejuvenation Pavilion, it was decades of profits.

But recalling Xiao Yi’s earlier words.

Gou Butong nodded with a smile, “Benefactor, you have shown us unparalleled kindness, a mere one million world stones is no problem, even if I have to go bankrupt!”

One million?

Xuanyuan Yuwei and Lin Sancheng, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but show an excited gleam in their eyes.

Over a million world stones!

Even for the Xuanyuan Clan, this is no small amount.

If they could bring back one million world stones for the Xuanyuan Clan, it would be an incredible achievement. Furthermore, even if the one million world stones aren’t handed over to the clan, they could still profit massively themselves.

With this thought.

This brother and sister exchanged a glance, each seeing the excitement and fervor in the other’s eyes.

Xuanyuan Rufeng secretly communicated, “Yuwei, that’s one million world stones…”

“I know.”

Xuanyuan Yuwei nodded quietly. She also wanted to take back the one million world stones, but since they’d already promised to yield for 700,000 to Xiao Yi, going back on it now would crumble the image they had built.

And would probably arouse Xiao Yi’s suspicion.

Just then.

Xuanyuan Yuwei suddenly noticed a young man in green attracted by the excitement, walking over from a distance.

This youth was Jia Sidao, a disciple from an upper-class family in Xuanyuan City. He had previously tried to pursue Xuanyuan Yuwei, but she had no interest in him.

When Xuanyuan Yuwei glanced at him, Jia Sidao was surprised, ready to step forward when Xuanyuan Yuwei’s voice echoed in his mind, “Young Master Jia, you must help me!”

Hm?

Jia Sidao was startled, responding, “Miss Yuwei, what’s wrong? Who is bullying you? Tell me, and I’ll get justice for you!”

Xuanyuan Yuwei responded plaintively, “This person has been pursuing me, and even set me into danger before rescuing me himself. I thought he was my savior, later learned it was all his doing. Just moments ago, I hadn’t realized his true character and told everyone he was my benefactor. If I turn back now, I fear being criticized…”

“What? There’s such a shameless person?”

Jia Sidao was furious, “Miss Yuwei, don’t worry, tell me how you want to take revenge!”

Xuanyuan Yuwei chuckled inwardly.

She had many suitors.

Over the years, she had toyed with quite a few people since using her beauty.

Xuanyuan Yuwei said, “He just asked Gou for a million world stones, but I don’t want him to get the Netherworld Water Lily. Later, you outbid him, raise the price as much as possible, I’ll back you up!”

“This…”

Jia Sidao hesitated.

One million world stones!

The Jia Family couldn’t compare to the Xuanyuan Clan; he couldn’t possibly mobilize a million world stones just to appease a woman.

Useless thing!

Xuanyuan Yuwei cursed inwardly, her face still adorned with a pitiful look as she communicated, “Don’t worry, we won’t make you pay a million world stones. Just inflate the price, leave the rest to me, I’ll make sure he buys the Netherworld Water Lily…”
