Chapter 379

You Ge was very calm, not reacting to the Han family scion's mockery. Jian Nan You, however, frowned as if thinking about something.

"But afterwards, he didn't actually have any further negotiations for cooperation with you, right?" the Han family scion said.

Jian Nan You nodded. Ye Xiao Wu had said back then that he didn't have enough money and needed to raise some, but he never contacted them again.

"But in fact, what you were doing at the time just happened to hold back Qian Li," the Han family scion said.

Everyone recalled, wasn't that the case? Back then, they were busy with the staff of ideal, lost in a daze of lofty aspirations. Everyone else had lost patience, but Gu Fei stubbornly chased after Jian Nan You and his group endlessly. Recalling those gloomy days, Jian Nan You and the other six felt like throwing up. They became even more aware that their current happy life hadn't come easily and needed to be cherished.

"Now let's sort out the role that Hong Chen Yixiao played in the staff incident!" The Han family scion tapped the table, then turned to Bu Xiao and asked, "How much do you know about this?"

Bu Xiao had been in here talking to everyone for quite some time already, but he was still standing like a servant. The twelve people still had no intention of giving him a seat. This guy was patient enough to just stand there and answer everyone's questions.

"Uh, as far as I know, Yin Yue instigated this matter from behind the scenes. Because the mana replenishment skill of the staff of ideal was also very useful for his King's Command skill, he persuaded Ye Xiao Wu to buy the staff. After receiving Ye Xiao Wu's confirmation, he actually turned around and bought the order to blast the staff from Jian Nan You and his group," Bu Xiao said.

"Blast the order?" Yu Tian Shen Ming wondered.

"Buying and selling equipment explosions, we call it blasting the order in the industry," Jian Nan You explained, while glancing at Bu Xiao. This was like industry slang. Bu Xiao could say it, which meant he definitely wasn't clean and was at least familiar with their bandit gang. Yu Tian Shen Ming was also a master, but he was very pure and didn't understand such slang.

"And then Jian Nan You and his group, that's when they got connected," Bu Xiao said.

Jian Nan You nodded, confirming the situation: "And then, Mang Mang Di Mang Mang put the staff up for consignment. Sigh, now you tell me, what kind of trap was this consigning of the staff, exactly?" Since both sides were only in the initial stages of cooperation, everyone consciously avoided talking about past grudges in order to maintain harmony, lest they get heated and impulsively fall out again. As the Jian Nan You Seven, who had always been at a disadvantage, they really wanted to know. Seeing a good opportunity, they took the chance to ask.

"Nothing much, just a plan to trick you into showing your faces," the Han family scion said casually.

"See, I told you so!!" Jian Nan You said to his brothers.

"What was Hong Chen Yixiao's reaction to the consigned staff?" the Han family scion asked.

As soon as he said that, Bu Xiao and Jian Nan You and his group said in unison, "He came to participate in the auction!!!"

"And..." Jiao Shui described how he had met Hong Chen Yixiao at the auction house, and how he was very certain that there was a 99.99% chance that it had been bought back by the buyer, otherwise it would be difficult for anyone to surpass his auction techniques.

"Auction techniques?" Everyone wondered.

"I asked him too, and he said that he had mastered the rules of price fluctuations and could successfully bid before anyone else," Jiao Shui said.

"Then if it's really as he says, is this really a 0.01% probability coincidence?" Everyone muttered.

"There's another possibility," the Han family scion said.

"What?" Everyone asked.

"He's lying! Can't you even think of that?" The Han family scion rolled his eyes.

"Lying? You mean he actually bought the staff, but deliberately said he didn't?" You Ge said.

"That way, no one knows who the buyer is, but everyone wants to get the staff back. Whether it's a praying mantis or an oriole or a cicada, as long as the buyer doesn't pick up the goods, everyone has to waste their time here for a week," the Han family scion said.

"That way, his goal of holding back Qian Li, preventing him from having the energy to cause trouble, is achieved!!" You Ge said.

"A week! After that, the old soldiers' levels will have reached 40, and they can make a frontal move," Jian Nan You realized.

"Although it wasn't his design at the beginning, unknowingly, Yin Yue, and even you, were all used as pawns by him..." the Han family scion said.

"Damn it!!!" Jian Nan You slammed his fist on the table. Although his original job was to be a pawn for others, precisely because of this, they hated the feeling of being kept in the dark and used as a pawn.

"So, the staff is in Hong Chen Yixiao's hands?" You Ge said.

"Impossible!" Jian Nan You immediately said, "We haven't relaxed our surveillance, and even later it wasn't just our family watching. Absolutely no one picked up the staff of ideal."

"Do you know?" The Han family scion turned to Bu Xiao again.

Bu Xiao shook his head: "I don't know. We went back to LinYin City together after the auction, and only came back recently."

"Or he never intended to pick up the staff at all. He treated this staff like the Sword of the King, just throwing it there and letting the system recycle it," the Han family scion said.

"He's really generous..." Everyone muttered.

The Han family scion suddenly paused at this moment and looked at Bu Xiao again: "You said you went back to LinYin City after that?"

Bu Xiao nodded.

"What would happen if something auctioned in Bai Shi City was picked up at the auction house in LinYin City?" the Han family scion suddenly said.

"That, probably can't be done, right?" You Ge said casually, then realized the problem: "This, this...the system hasn't stated whether this is possible or not."

"Players are even less likely to have experience in this area," the Han family scion said.

Everyone nodded repeatedly. Basically, players were limited to activities within their own main city, and such a thing was indeed unlikely to happen.

"Could it be that auctions are limited to the main city, but picking up the goods is a cross-city service for all main cities?" You Ge speculated.

"This can be tested," the Han family scion said, "Auction something later and see if you can pick it up in a nearby main city."

"This, it takes quite a bit of time..." Hei Shui, Jiao Shui, Yu Tian Shen Ming and others laughed dryly. This kind of running errand would obviously fall on them agile professions, and the Han family scion's experimental plan wasn't very popular with them.

"It's okay if you're too lazy to run. There are many people moving around the main city recently. I'll see if I have any friends who can help with the experiment," You Ge said.

Everyone nodded. There were indeed many players moving around recently, all because of the efficient leveling method, and people were constantly coming to observe. They hadn't gone back to Bai Mo Fang to check up on things since their teaching ended.

"That...there's one problem," Bu Xiao suddenly said. This guy had been standing here like a prisoner accepting interrogation, and now he took the initiative to speak, as if he had mustered a lot of courage.

"Speak," the Han family scion said.

"About the staff, at the end of the auction at the auction house, I secretly heard Hong Chen Yixiao tell Duan Shui Jian that he didn't auction it either... If he was deliberately deceiving us, then I don't think he would deceive Duan Shui Jian. They trust each other. Duan Shui Jian must know his specific plans very well," Bu Xiao said. He still remembered that before he and Yin Yue set off, Hong Chen Yixiao and Duan Shui Jian were working together, obviously Duan Shui Jian knew the whole plan, meaning he was Hong Chen Yixiao's absolutely trusted partner.

"Hehe..." The Han family scion smiled, "Just the four words 'secretly heard' from you are enough to explain the problem."

"What do you mean?" Bu Xiao was at a loss.

"Acting! It's saying it for people like you who 'secretly hear' to listen to," the Han family scion said.

"This..." Bu Xiao was indeed mixed in with the crowd at the auction house at the time, and was trying hard to get close to Ye Xiao Wu and his group. This guy had been trying to secretly find out a little of the information Ye Xiao Wu had.

"You said he didn't know at first that Yin Yue said he was buying the staff, but was actually going to buy the order to blast the staff, right?" the Han family scion said.

Bu Xiao nodded.

"But later he got connected with Jian Nan You and his group, would he still not know about this?" the Han family scion said.

"This...we didn't say anything. We always keep our clients' information confidential, even if the client is Yin Yue," Jian Nan You said.

"Then when another staff of ideal appeared at the auction house, how did Yin Yue explain it to Hong Chen Yixiao? Hong Chen Yixiao wouldn't not ask, right? The auctioneer of that staff was Mang Mang Di Mang Mang, who had a lot to do with Yin Yue," the Han family scion said.

"This...I'm not very clear. They mostly communicated about that staff in private. I didn't participate much," Bu Xiao said. It was precisely for this reason that he was afraid that Yin Yue would monopolize any benefits, so he always tried to get involved.

"It seems that we can't know exactly what he and Yin Yue said at the time," the Han family scion said regretfully, "But I'm sure Hong Chen Yixiao discovered that this staff had a lot of potential here, so he put on a show at the auction house, because he knew that there must be many spies at the auction house at that time, your people, our people... He was absolutely certain that he could auction the staff, so he could create a situation where the buyer never appeared, so everyone was dragged there."

"This, this..." Everyone pondered, listening and feeling like it was unbelievable, but it wasn't impossible.

"If it was a normal buyer, buying the staff with a 0.01% probability would be the limit, but after buying it, they actually didn't want it. How should that probability be calculated?" the Han family scion said.

"It seems the staff is indeed in this guy's hands."

"You Ge, hurry up and ask your friends to experiment and see if anyone is moving around," the Han family scion said.

"I'll find someone right away!" You Ge sent a group message directly.

"This guy, goddamn it..." Everyone didn't know what to say other than swearing. Because everyone realized a very crucial problem: this Hong Chen Yixiao went to such great lengths to deal with Qian Li Yizui, but there was no immediate benefit for him at all. He let the system recycle such a top-quality equipment like the Sword of the King without any hesitation. Which player could bear to do that? Why is this guy so persistent? How big of a grudge does he have with Qian Li! Everyone thought.

Everyone thought their own thoughts and drank their own drinks. At the end, they turned around and Bu Xiao was still standing there honestly.

"Is there anything else?" the Han family scion asked.

"That, everyone is actually on the same boat. I also want to join you and deal with Hong Chen Yixiao together," Bu Xiao finally said his purpose for coming here. This guy had been looking pitiful since he came, standing by the table for three chapters without showing any displeasure, just wanting to gain the sympathy of this group of masters. He had already seen through it. Instead of trying to get revenge for the ten levels he had lost, he might as well lower his posture and beg these masters. It was miserable, but he would have a good life in the future! He had heard about the affairs of the Qian Li Yizui studio, and he had witnessed the grand occasion of the teaching this morning. One person was 99 gold, so how many people were there? Bu Xiao was directly dizzy when he calculated it at the time, and finally completely abandoned his self-esteem.

Stupid! Look at Jian Nan You, his awareness is high. Why didn't he have this awareness earlier! What's the point of working against this group of people? He should have stood on their side earlier. Even the guys from the Ten Associations Alliance probably wouldn't dare to look down on him again. Bu Xiao saw that Jian Nan You and his group of seven were getting along well with Gu Fei and his friends, and he had even more confidence. In his mind, his issues with Gu Fei were all old news from many years ago, and it was originally caused by Qi Yue, so there was no hatred in itself. He was begging for forgiveness with such a low posture now, so how could they not let him go? What's even more wonderful is that he chose a time when Gu Fei wasn't here. That way, even the person he had a direct grudge with was gone. Once his friends accepted him, Qian Li Yizui couldn't say anything else, right?

Thinking about his plan, Bu Xiao felt great in his heart! He felt like there was going to be a thirteenth stool at the table soon. It was a little crowded, but it was comfortable! Bu Xiao resisted laughing out loud, and continued to look fearful and pleading.

"This, it's probably not necessary, right? Look, someone is looking for you!" the Han family scion said.

"Ah?" Bu Xiao was stunned and looked in the direction the Han family scion was pointing. A bunch of girls...

Being approached by a bunch of girls, what an honor it would be for any player? For those guys who lived forever among the flowers, it would be a beautiful thing that would make them laugh in their dreams, but for Bu Xiao at the moment, apart from Qian Li Yizui holding a sword in front of him, there was nothing more terrifying than the appearance of such a group of girls.

"Why did you talk for so long! It's not early, I want to sleep!!!" The first to jump out from the group of girls was the red-clothed female thief Xi Yao Wu, glaring at this table of people with quite dissatisfaction. Behind her, Luo Luo, Qi Yue, Lie Lie, Liu Yue De Yu... a group of Rebirth Purple Crystal girls, all itching to fight.

"You..." Bu Xiao looked at the Han family scion in a daze. At this moment, he didn't know what expression to make, to turn his face and be angry? Or to continue to flatter and beg?

"Sorry, I betrayed you," the Han family scion smiled. Looking at the others, it was like they didn't even notice this, half of them were still immersed in Hong Chen Yixiao's calculations and couldn't extricate themselves.

"Why did so many of you come? Didn't you leave anyone in the Thief Guild?" the Han family scion asked.

"Who should we leave behind? We don't have that kind of time. We'll just kill whoever we can," Xi Yao Wu had already rushed up.
