The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 24 - Ye Rulong

24: Chapter 24: Ye Rulong

24 -24: Ye Rulong

“Young hero.” Seeing Lin Bai and the young boy returning, Ai Lin joyfully greeted them.

Ai Lin, from their previous conversation, knew that if the poison was cured, Lin Bai and the boy would definitely come back to buy the rusty sword.

The sword was worth a thousand spiritual stones.

Selling it would earn her a hefty commission, the thought of which excited Ai Lin.

Ai Lin puzzled, this rusty sword was sold by a bandit a few days ago, and the appraisal master of the Treasure Pavilion bought it for 500 spiritual stones.

No matter how hard Ai Lin tried, she could not figure out what was so good about this sword.

“I’ll take this sword.

I won’t haggle over the price, is a thousand spiritual stones okay?” Lin Bai said with a smile to Ai Lin.

Ai Lin was overjoyed and said, “All right, for a thousand spiritual stones, the Treasure Pavilion would be willing to make friends with the two of you.”

Just at this moment.

“Well, well, isn’t this young Master Lin Bai of the Lin Family?

I heard you awoke a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Soul and were so ashamed that you jumped off a cliff to commit suicide.”

At this time, a man with an exceptional demeanor approached from behind Lin Bai.

Lin Bai turned around and recognized the man.

The eldest son of the Ye Family, Ye Rulong.

He had often quarreled with Lin Bai, who rarely bothered to interact with him.

Lin Bai simply said to Ai Lin, “I’ll give you a thousand spiritual stones, please give me the sword.”

“Alright.” Ai Lin smiled.

“What sword?

This sword, I’ll take it.”

Just when Ai Lin had taken down the rusty sword, Ye Rulong opened his mouth and laughed.

Hearing that there was competition, Ai Lin figured she could ask for a higher price and said with a laugh, “Son of Ye, this sword costs a thousand spiritual stones.”

“Ha ha, it’s just one thousand spiritual stones.

I’ll pay one thousand one hundred.

I have plenty of money.” Ye Rulong said, beckoning his hand and took out one thousand spiritual stones from his storage bag.

“Ye Rulong, I claimed this sword first.” Lin Bai said coldly.

“What does it matter if you laid claim to it first?

You haven’t paid yet.”

“Besides, Lin Bai, do you have a thousand spiritual stones?”

“Would the Lin Family give a thousand spiritual stones to a nobody like you?” Ye Rulong sneered.

The confrontation between Ye Rulong and Lin Bai instantly attracted a crowd of onlookers.

Many people started whispering, “Isn’t he that good-for-nothing from the Lin Family?

His Yellow Level First Grade Martial Soul is so humiliating.”

“Isn’t it really Lin Bai?

Did he not commit suicide?”

“They disappeared for two months, and can’t even afford a sword.

The only sword they can buy is a rusty one.

Such a shame, the once proud young master of Lingxi City is now in such a sorry state.”

Ye Rulong laughed, “The rule since time immemorial is that he who pays the most gets the treasure.”

“If Young Master Lin can’t offer a higher price, then the sword will be handed over to me.”

Ye Rulong said to Ai Lin.

Ai Lin also laughed, “Indeed, here in the Treasure Pavilion, the treasure goes to the highest bidder.

If this young hero can’t raise the price, then the sword will belong to Master Ye Rulong.”

The young boy was getting anxious and pulled at Lin Bai’s sleeve, “Big brother, my sword.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll buy it back for you.” Lin Bai reassured him.

A cold smile played across Lin Bai’s lips.

It was clear that Ye Rulong was here to cause trouble.

If so, Lin Bai didn’t need to be nice anymore.

“I’ll bid one thousand two hundred spiritual stones.” Lin Bai said to Ai Lin.

Ai Lin was overjoyed.

If two people fought over the sword, wouldn’t it fetch a sky-high price?

“One thousand three hundred spiritual stones.” Ye Rulong triumphantly called out.

“One thousand four hundred spiritual stones.” Lin Bai casually responded.

“One thousand five hundred spiritual stones.” Ye Rulong said with a relaxed air.

Lin Bai shook his head.

Seeing this, Ye Rulong assumed Lin Bai was giving up and laughed, “Ha ha, young Master Lin, stop struggling.

How could you possibly have a thousand spiritual stones?

You, a good-for-nothing, hurry up and go home.

Don’t come out and embarrass yourself.”

“Me shaking my head means this auction is going too slow.”

“Three thousand spiritual stones.” Lin Bai directly bid.

When Ai Lin heard “three thousand spiritual stones,” she was shocked and then overjoyed.

“Young hero has bid three thousand.

Master Ye Rulong, are you still raising the price?” Ai Lin asked Ye Rulong.

Ye Rulong’s face darkened upon hearing this.

Three thousand spiritual stones were a substantial fortune.

“Ai Lin, don’t rush.

Master Ye Rulong will definitely raise the price.

He is, after all, the eldest son of the Ye Family.

How could he not afford three thousand spiritual stones?”

“Isn’t that right, Master Ye Rulong?”

Lin Bai said with a smile.

How could Ye Rulong not hear the sarcasm in Lin Bai’s words?

He flushed with anger and retorted, “Lin Bai, don’t be so smug.

I, the honorable eldest son of the Ye Family, can certainly afford three thousand spiritual stones.”

“I can’t believe a nobody like you from the Lin Family could afford that many spiritual stones.”

Lin Bai exclaimed in surprise, “Oh, young Master Ye Rulong, you really can’t afford three thousand spiritual stones?

You’re so poor.”

“You’re so poor!”

“You’re so poor.”

Poor?

The proud son of the prominent Ye Family in Lingxi City was being called poor?

Hearing this word, Ye Rulong almost choked on his breath and gritted his teeth, saying,

“You vile thing!

Stop causing trouble here.

If you’re capable, take out the three thousand spiritual stones!”

“And let me tell you, once you announce a price at the Treasure Pavilion, if you can’t produce that many spiritual stones, you will be severely punished by the Pavilion!”

Ye Rulong was convinced Lin Bai didn’t have three thousand spiritual stones.

Even he, the eldest son of the Ye Family, who was highly valued by the Patriarch after awakening his Martial Soul, who could ask for as many spiritual stones as he wanted, couldn’t manage three thousand spiritual stones.

So how could Lin Bai possibly have three thousand spiritual stones?

“What if I can bring it out, wouldn’t you have to eat shit then?” Lin Bai laughed.

Ye Rulong furiously said, “If you can produce it, I will kneel down and bow to you three times in public!”

“In that case, it’s decided.” Lin Bai said with a smile.

Ai Lin chimed in, “Then, please hand over the spiritual stones, young hero.”

“Does the Treasure Pavilion accept demon beast corpses?” Lin Bai curiously asked Ai Lin.

“Yes, it does, young hero.

But for beasts of Martial Art levels one and two, we don’t have much interest.” Ai Lin said, with her usual smile.

“Doesn’t accept beasts of Martial Art first and second levels?” Lin Bai frowned.

“Ha ha, did you hear that, Lin Bai?

Don’t embarrass yourself by presenting those demon beasts of Martial Art first and second levels you defeated.” Ye Rulong laughed. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Lin Bai thought about it for a moment and figured that the beasts of Martial Art first and second levels were not much different from ordinary animals.

That’s why the Treasure Pavilion did not value them and wouldn’t accept them.

“All right, anyway, I don’t have any demon beasts of level one or two.”

“Ai Lin, how much are these demon beasts worth?”

Lin Bai waved his hand and from his storage ring dumped a large pile of demon beast corpses that he stacked in the Treasure Pavilion.

The moment these demon beasts appeared, the Treasure Pavilion was filled with a strong scent of blood.
