518. Chapter 519 Zhou Leng Comes to Visit

Chapter 519 Zhou Leng came to visit

Since others have already come to visit, Li Lao naturally cannot refuse to see them. If that is the case, if Zhou Leng wants to investigate further, it will be regarded as an act of offending the Auction Association to destroy the sect.

"Xiao Xiaoyou, why don't you step aside first, I will deal with Zhou Leng and discuss the matter tonight." Li Lao hurriedly said.

Chen Xiao didn't care and nodded in agreement. But when he was about to leave, a man with a face as cold as ice appeared at the door. Who else could it be except Zhou Leng?

With Zhou Leng's identity, who dared to stop him easily as a guard in the auction house?

"Li Lao, who is this young man? Did I come at the wrong time and disturb your conversation?" Zhou Leng said expressionlessly.

But his words, seemingly casual, are actually hidden.

"Haha, Brother Zhou is joking." Li Lao laughed, "He is just my new apprentice, and I am teaching him some things to pay attention to in the future." Li Lao replied casually. Then he waved his hand at Chen Xiao, "Okay, Ah Xiao, go down and do what you should do."

"Yes." Chen Xiao still knew how to cooperate.

However, just as he agreed, Zhou Leng followed up with a voice.

"Wait." This sentence made Chen Xiao stop, "I disturbed Mr. Li's teaching of his disciples. I came down at the wrong time. But it's okay. I came here this time with only one question to ask Mr. Li. As long as Mr. Li can tell the truth, I will leave immediately, and I can also owe the auction guild a favor privately."

Hearing Zhou Leng's words, Mr. Li knew what he was going to ask without thinking. But he didn't expect that Zhou Leng would actually owe a favor as a condition of exchange.

Others don't know what Zhou Leng's strength is, so how could Mr. Li not know? Five-star martial saint! The existence of the top 20 saint-level powerhouses in the sect! It is absolutely a great thing to be able to owe a favor to such a strong man!

As for this verbal promise, there is nothing to worry about. Everyone is a person of status. If you don't admit what you say, you will only be scorned.

"In that case, Brother Zhou, just ask whatever you want to ask. I will tell you the truth if I can answer it." Elder Li replied.

"Okay." Zhou Leng nodded. "I want to ask, what is the identity of the person who bid for the Star Moon Bracelet today? I wonder if Mr. Li can tell me the truth?"

"This..." Mr. Li looked embarrassed. "Brother Zhou, your question is really hard for me to answer. You also know that our auction association has always kept confidentiality for customers who bid for the goods. What's more, that distinguished guest also explained that his identity cannot be revealed to the outside world."

"I see." After hearing Mr. Li's answer, Zhou Leng still did not change his expression. "In that case, then I will take my leave. However, there is something I need to talk to Mr. Li first. That person threatened in public at the auction that he would not take my Mie Zong seriously, which can be said to be a slap in my face. The auction association cannot disclose his information according to regulations. I understand, but if there is any other connection, then this matter will definitely not be easily let go."

There was no fluctuation in the tone, but the words pointed out the possible grievances between the two parties, and even a threat.

Chen Xiao couldn't help but look at Zhou Leng. He didn't expect that this guy who looked cold and icy was actually quite scheming.

However, Mr. Li was not a pushover. He immediately put away his expression and said in a slightly cold tone: "Brother Zhou, are you threatening me not to meddle in other people's business?"

"I dare not." Zhou Leng replied, "Just reminding Mr. Li not to hurt the friendship between the two forces because of some trivial matters, otherwise it will be more trouble than gain."

"Hmph! Come on, send the guest away!" After hearing Zhou Leng's words, Mr. Li didn't say much to him and directly sent the guest away.

Before the maid outside the door came in to invite him, Zhou Leng had already turned around and was about to walk out of the study. But when he stepped out of the study, a voice came in from the corridor.

"Isn't this Brother Zhou? How come you suddenly have time to visit our auction house today? But are you leaving?"

When the voice came into the study, Mr. Li's expression changed instantly, and he secretly thought that something was going to happen!

The owner of this voice was none other than Elder Qian, who was what Mr. Li was worried about before!

However, when Zhou Leng saw Elder Qian appear, he was secretly delighted. Outsiders don't know the internal factions of the auction guild, so how could they not know about the extermination of the sect? Immediately, Zhou Leng spoke to Elder Qian.

"Nothing. I just came here to ask Elder Li a question. Unfortunately, Elder Li didn't want me to owe him a favor, so he didn't tell me the answer to the question."

Simple sentence, but it pointed out the purpose and benefits. And this naturally attracted Elder Qian's interest.

"I see. I don't know what question Brother Zhou asked? You might as well tell me. If I know, I'm happy to help you answer it." Elder Qian said. And what he said was exactly what Zhou Leng wanted to hear.

"I just want to ask who the person who took the Xingyue bracelet is and his origin. Unfortunately, Elder Li can't tell me because of the rules of the auction guild. So, I can only leave."

"I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be this." Elder Qian laughed. As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Li spoke immediately.

"Elder Qian, are you going to ignore the guild regulations and reveal the client's identity?" Elder Li's tone had turned cold.

However, as elders, even if Elder Qian is not as good as Elder Li, he is only slightly inferior. Moreover, they are not from different factions. They have done many things to make the other faction uncomfortable.

"Heh... If it is really a distinguished guest, then I will definitely not tell anyone. But you are a newcomer who just came up from the lower realm. You are also embarrassed to tell me the rules of the guild? Old man Li, are you really confused? Using a newcomer to exchange for Brother Zhou's favor, can there be a better deal than this?" Elder Qian hit back.

"Oh? I didn't expect that the one who took the Star Moon Bracelet would be a newcomer from the lower world." Zhou Leng naturally would not miss the key point in Elder Qian's words, and then turned to look at Elder Li again, "Elder Li, this matter, shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation? How can a newcomer from the lower world have 4 billion immortal coins? Is it possible that your auction association is standing behind him?"

Zhou Leng immediately brought the dispute to the two forces. If Elder Li could not give Zhou Leng a reasonable explanation, it would be hard to say what the situation would become.

Elder Li was very angry with Elder Qian in his heart. He didn't expect that he would come out to cause trouble at this time.

But even so, Elder Li did not intend to say Chen Xiao. It has come to this point, it is better to keep Chen Xiao. A sect extermination, he still didn't believe that Zhou Leng really dared to make a big deal.
