Chapter 365: 365 – It has begun, he has started
But now, when Gu Leng really stood before her, she backed down.
Not just because she knew just how different they were, but also because she was overwhelmed by the aura Gu Leng possessed—an aura that seemed to disdain everything.
Although he did not intentionally strike an imposing posture, such an aura seemed to naturally emanate from him—something typical of the ancient tribes like his own.
Just by displaying his imposing aura, he had already surpassed what a common family disciple like Qiu Zixuan could match.
For a moment, all three of them bowed their heads, and no one dared to answer Gu Leng’s question.
At this moment, they were genuinely afraid to implicate themselves.
However, Su Lan didn’t mind, and even laughed, “Gu Leng, it’s nothing serious, just that this fellow seems to have sneaked in.”
“Oh? Really?”
Gu Leng’s face remained expressionless, but a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.
Today was an important day for the ancient tribe, and his day of glory as the person in charge of the auction. He would not tolerate any mishaps.
If anyone dared to make a fuss, it meant they were disregarding the ancient tribe, and literally slapping him, Gu Leng, in public.
Gu Leng would absolutely not tolerate such behavior.
Immediately, he smiled at the rather nervous Jiang Xiaobai, “Who exactly are you?”
“I don’t have any special background. I just wanted to see what the auction was like,” Jiang Xiaobai quickly replied.
“Do you know, to attend our ancient tribe’s auction, one’s assets are checked? If you wish to enter without any power, what do you think this place is?”
“I suggest you confess everything honestly right now, otherwise…”
Gu Leng didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone understood the implications—if Jiang Xiaobai was indeed causing trouble, Gu Leng would ensure he wouldn’t live to see tomorrow.
Qiu Zixuan and the others, who had brought Jiang Xiaobai in, panicked. They initially intended to reveal Jiang Xiaobai’s identity to make him lose face, but now it seemed the situation was spiraling out of control. If Jiang Xiaobai’s true identity came to light in front of Gu Leng, they may also be implicated.
In an instant, Qiu Zixuan deeply regretted her actions and was about to explain the misunderstanding to Gu Leng and absolve herself of guilt when the elder, who had been silent like time had frozen him, made a move.
“This…this…this…”
“Young master, I apologize for my previous rudeness. I hope you will be forgiving, and not take it to heart!” When he spoke, the elder was sweating profusely. When he realized Gu Leng was beside him, his fear intensified and he wished he could burrow into a hole in the ground.
What a joke! He had never seen anything like the contents of the storage ring in his life.
Too terrifying!
Any person who possessed assets like that surely had a significant background, probably similar to the ancient tribe or even higher. Given Jiang Xiaobai’s unworldly and clueless demeanor, the elder even thought that Jiang Xiaobai might be a disciple from a transcendent power.
If such a person took any issue seriously, the ancient tribe would certainly abandon him, and his fate would be terrible.
In the power struggle among the elites, sometimes they killed without spilling blood.
A mere sentence could ring a death knell.
The elder’s reaction made everyone around exchange glances. Gu Leng’s face showed perplexity, and Su Lan was wearing a look of disbelief.
“Elder Lin, what do you mean by that?” Su Lan asked, puzzled.
“Miss Su, it is…”
Elder Lin naturally didn’t dare to say much, after all, Gu Leng was present, and revealing a guest’s assets was taboo.
Gu Leng knew this, but he was also quite puzzled.
Elder Lin had served the ancient tribe for over a hundred years and was a highly skilled Unity Period practitioner, he had weathered numerous storms. Just what kind of item in that storage ring could cause him to lose his composure?
With this thought in mind, Gu Leng turned his gaze towards Jiang Xiaobai, “Sir, there seems to have been some misunderstanding earlier. I’m not a person who shies away from taking responsibility. I apologize for what happened before.”
As he spoke, Gu Leng was ready to bow as an apology to Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, “Hey, hey, hey, don’t do this. It’s no big deal; it was just a small mishap. I don’t mind.”
“Honestly, I was a little worried because this is my first time attending an auction alone. I didn’t know exactly how much money was to be considered sufficient, so I was a bit flustered.”
Jiang Xiaobai’s words and expressions were seamless.
If there was an Oscar award in this world, he would undoubtedly win the best actor award.
Gu Leng was taken aback by this revelation and began to feel somewhat embarrassed, “Sir…”
“Oh, please, just call me Void Prince.”
“Void Prince…”
Gu Leng inwardly reasoned, “Using a pseudonym for self-introduction, is he concealing his identity?”
“Void Prince, may I ask, What exactly is in your storage ring?”
Gu Leng chuckled, “Of course, if you don’t want to answer, that’s fine as well. After all, that’s your privacy. But Elder Lin has been working tirelessly for our ancient tribe and has weathered a lot of storms. I’m genuinely curious what could make Elder Lin lose his composure.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai also scratched his head, “Well, there’s not much, it’s just my ordinary pocket money.”
Pocket money?
The crowd was left wondering about the weight of this so-called ‘pocket money’, when Jiang Xiaobai spoke up again.
“It’s not much, just around two billion top-grade spirit stones. Since I haven’t attended an auction like this before, I didn’t know how much was required for asset verification. Hence, I put a little extra in the storage ring just now…”
Ccking his tongue, he continued, “Oh right, just a small item, with a value of little over three billion I suppose. Initially, I was under the impression that it wasn’t enough, and I was a bit nervous. Huh? Why are you all wearing that expression? What happened?”
Looking at the crowd stupefied around him, Jiang Xiaobai asked, slightly bewildered.
What happened?
Gu Leng’s mouth twitched; he wished he could curse out loud.
Adding up the spirit stones and other items, the total value was over fifty billion top-grade spirit stones, including more than twenty billion top-grade spirit stones in cash! That was over twenty billion tangible spirit stones! Who else would carry so much around if not a filthy rich person?
At this moment, Gu Leng looked at Elder Lin, who just nodded slightly, confirming Jiang Xiaobai’s claims indirectly. Gu Leng was immediately stunned by Jiang Xiaobai’s immense wealth!
