Peerless War God

Since others had come to pay a visit, Elder Li naturally could not refuse. If that was the case, then it could be considered as the Auction Guild offending the Extermination Sect if Zhou Leng were to investigate further.    

    

"Friend Xiao, why don't you leave for a while. I will deal with Zhou Leng and discuss what happened tonight." Elder Li quickly said.    

    

Chen Xiao did not mind, and nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to leave, a man with a face as cold as ice appeared at the door. Other than Zhou Leng, who else could it be?    

    

With Zhou Leng's identity, who in the auction house would dare to stop him?    

    

"Elder Li, who is this young man?" Could it be that I came at the wrong time and disturbed your conversation? " Zhou Leng said expressionlessly.    

    

However, although his words seemed casual, they were filled with hidden secrets.    

    

"Haha, Brother Zhou is joking." Elder Li smiled, "He's just a new disciple I've accepted recently. He's currently teaching him a few things he should be aware of in the future." Elder Li casually replied. Then, he waved at Chen Xiao, "Alright, Ah Xiao, go down and do what you need to do."    

    

"Yes." Chen Xiao still understood what cooperation was needed.    

    

However, just as he agreed, Zhou Leng followed suit.    

    

"Hold on." With a single sentence, Chen Xiao stopped in his tracks, "It was a bad time to disturb Elder Li's disciple training. This time, I only have one question that I want to ask Elder Li. As long as Elder Li can tell me the truth, I will leave immediately.    

    

Hearing Zhou Leng's words, Elder Li did not need to think to know what he wanted to ask. But she never would have thought that Zhou Leng would actually use such a favor to exchange for the favor.    

    

Others might not be clear about Zhou Leng's strength, but how could Elder Li not be clear about it? 5-Star Martial Saint! The top twenty Holy-ranked warriors of the Extermination Sect! It was definitely a great thing for such a powerful figure to owe him a favor!    

    

As for the verbal promise, there was nothing to worry about. They were all people with status, so if they didn't admit it, they would only be despised.    

    

"In that case, Brother Zhou, just ask whatever it is you want to ask. If I can answer, I'll answer truthfully." Elder Li replied.    

    

"Alright." Zhou Leng nodded his head, "I would like to ask, the identity of the person who took the bracelet today, would Elder Li be able to tell me the truth?"    

    

"This …" Elder Li revealed a troubled expression, "Brother Zhou, this question of yours is really hard to answer. You should also be clear that our Auction Guild has always kept secret from customers who have bought goods. Furthermore, that esteemed guest has already told us that we cannot reveal his identity. "    

    

"So that's how it is." Hearing Elder Li's reply, Zhou Leng's expression did not change, "Since that's the case, then I will take my leave. However, there was something that he had to tell Elder Li first. That person publicly threatened to not put my Extermination Sect in his eyes, and it could be said that he slapped my Extermination Sect hard on the face. According to the rules, Auction Guild cannot reveal his information. I understand, but if there is any other connection, then this matter will definitely not be easily resolved. "    

    

His tone did not change, but between his words, he pointed out the grudges that could arise between the two of them. There was even a threatening intention to it.    

    

Chen Xiao couldn't help but look at Zhou Leng, he didn't expect that this guy who looked so cold, would actually have such a scheming mind.    

    

However, Elder Li was not someone who was easy to deal with. He quickly put away his expression and said with a slightly cold tone, "Are Brother Zhou's words threatening me to not meddle in other people's business?"    

    

"I would not dare." Zhou Leng replied, "I am only reminding Elder Li, don't hurt the relationship between the two forces because of some small matter, it would not be worth it."    

    

"Humph!" Someone, send our guest off! " Hearing Zhou Leng's words, Elder Li did not speak any further and directly sent him off.    

    

Before the maid outside the door even came in to invite him, Zhou Leng had already turned around and was about to leave the study room. Just as he stepped out of the study, a voice came from the corridor.    

    

"Isn't this Brother Zhou? Why did you suddenly have the time to visit our auction house today? However, are they leaving? "    

    

The voice travelled into the study room. Elder Li's expression changed instantly as he thought to himself, "Something's about to happen!"    

    

The owner of this voice was none other than the person Elder Li was worried about earlier, Elder Qian!    

    

However, when Zhou Leng saw that Elder Qian had appeared, he was secretly elated. Outsiders might not know about the internal factions of the Auction Guild, but how could they, the Extermination Sect, not know about it? Immediately, Zhou Leng said to Elder Qian.    

    

"Nothing. I am only here to ask Elder Li a question. Unfortunately, Elder Li did not want me to owe him a favor, so he did not tell me the answer to the question. "    

    

With a simple sentence, he pointed out his goals and benefits. This naturally attracted Elder Qian's interest.    

    

"So that's how it is. I wonder what question Brother Zhou is asking? Speak of it. If this old man knows about it, I would be happy to answer for you. " Elder Qian said. What he had just said was exactly what Zhou Leng wanted to hear.    

    

"I just wanted to ask about the origin of the person who took the bracelet." Unfortunately, because of the rules of the Auction Guild, Elder Li could not tell me. "In that case, I can only leave."    

    

"I thought it was a question. So it was this." Elder Qian smiled. Just as he finished speaking, Elder Li immediately spoke up.    

    

"Elder Qian, don't tell me that you are going to ignore the rules of the guild and reveal the identity of the customer?" Elder Li's tone had already turned cold.    

    

However, as fellow Elders, even if Elder Qian could not compare to Elder Li, there was only a slight difference. Moreover, they were not from the same faction, so they had done a lot of things to each other that would make the other faction uncomfortable.    

    

"Heh …" If it's really a VIP, then I definitely won't say anything. But how can you have the nerve to tell me the rules for a newbie who just came out of the lower realms? Old Man Li, you've really gone senile, haven't you? Using a new person to exchange for a favor from Brother Zhou, is there a deal more worthwhile than this? " Elder Qian retorted.    

    

"Oh? I didn't expect that the person who took the bracelet away from me was a newbie from the lower realms. " Zhou Leng naturally did not miss the crucial point in Elder Qian's words, and turned to look at Elder Li again, "Elder Li, shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation for this? How could a newbie from the lower realms possess four billion Celestial Coins? Could it be that your Auction Guild is supporting him from behind? "    

    

If Elder Li could not give Zhou Leng a reasonable explanation, he could not say how the situation would turn out.    

    

Elder Li's heart was filled with anger towards Elder Qian. He never thought that he would come out at this time to stir up trouble.    

    

But, even so, Elder Li did not plan to say it out loud. Since it's come to this, he might as well protect Chen Xiao. As a Extermination Sect, he did not believe that Zhou Leng would really make a big deal out of it.
