"Palace Master, three little thieves tried to sneak into the manor last night."
The next morning, Huo Yuan reported to Xiao Mu.
"Is everything cleaned up?"
"They've been reduced to ashes, but I didn't kill them. When I found them, they were lying dead in front of the Soul Hall plaque."
"I see."
It seems that the realm of these three thieves is not high, and they have ill intentions towards the Soul Palace. They were captivated by the two words "Soul Palace" he left on the plaque.
When I came to the plaque and took a look, I saw that there were indeed three more souls on it.
Xiao Mu stretched out his hand and three illusory figures flew out from the plaque.
There was no need to ask them at all. Xiao Mu directly searched their souls and reviewed their memories.
"So you were attracted by the fragrance of the elixir."
Xiao Mu spent the whole night refining pills and made quite a few of them. The fragrance of the pills drifted away, so it was not surprising that they accidentally smelled it.
Xiao Mu waved his hand, and the three souls flew back to the plaque.
Their souls will remain on the plaque to atone for their sins and guard the Soul Palace.
After having breakfast prepared by the Soul Douluo Guardian himself, Xiao Mu took the two Heavenly Masters to Tiandou City.
Zhan Kaishan and Yang Ziqi noticed the three people last night earlier than Huo Yuan, but before they could take action, the three guys were dead.
"Palace Master, where are we going today?"
On the way, Zhan Kaishan asked.
"Go to Tiandou Auction House"
Zhan Kaishan's eyes lit up.
"Auction house? That's a great place. Are we going to the Tiandou Auction House to pick up something?"
Zhan Kaishan still remembers what he got from the Canglan City Auction House. The Tiandou Auction House is the largest auction house in the Tiandou Empire, so there should be more good things there.
Xiao Mu rolled his eyes. Zhan Kaishan was addicted to stealing things.
"Don't always think about stealing things. This kind of one-off business won't last too many times. If we, the Soul Palace, want to survive, we must have a long-term source of income."
"The Palace Master is right in his teachings. It was I who was foolish."
"It's okay. If the Tiandou Auction House is the same as the Canglan City Auction House, you can do whatever you want."
"Hahaha, then I hope the people at the Tiandou Auction House will understand."
I don't know whether Zhan Kaishan's words of "being sensible" mean that he hopes they will abide by the rules or not.
The three of them arrived at the magnificent auction house. As soon as they entered, the faces of several girls standing at the door changed. They swallowed secretly and looked extremely nervous.
"Please come in, all three of you."
Xiao Mu nodded at them and walked into the auction hall first.
"Palace Master, they seem to have recognized us." Zhan Kaishan whispered.
"I see. If you recognize us, then recognize us. We can remain unchanged in the face of all changes."
Most of the auction houses in the Tiandou Empire are affiliated with the Tiandou Auction House. It would be strange if the Tiandou Auction House didn't know about such a big thing happening at the Canglan City Auction House.
As soon as the three entered the auction hall, someone ran upstairs.
"Manager Xu, the two people who killed the Canglan City auction house are coming to our auction house."
"What?"
An old man with silver hair but vigorous spirit came out.
This person is Xu Yunchang, the person in charge of the Tiandou Auction House, a level 85 Soul Douluo.
"Are you serious?"
"It's absolutely true. We have those two people's appearances memorized in our minds. There's no way we're mistaken."
Xu Yunchang frowned and remained silent for a long time.
"Manager Xu, would you like to gather some people to help the Canglan City Auction House get revenge?"
"Confused."
Xu Yunchang shouted loudly.
"News has come from Canglan City that one of these two is a Titled Douluo, and he possesses a 100,000-year spirit ring. How many people can we muster? Even if all the spirit masters in the auction house of the Tiandou Empire were combined, would it be enough to defeat them?"
Xu Yunchang was not thinking about how to get back the Canglan City auction house, but was thinking about how to prevent the affairs of Canglan City from involving the Tiandou auction house.
But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't come up with a solution.
After all, they are strong and powerful, and the truth is on their side. Whether to cause trouble for the Tiandou Auction House depends entirely on their decision.
Xu Yunchang asked, "What was their attitude when they came in?"
"Attitude? I can't tell."
"Idiot, can't you tell they're hostile?"
"No, they were quite nice, just like ordinary customers. They didn't show any hostility."
Xu Yunchang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, I'll go meet them in person."
It is a blessing, not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided. If he sticks his head out, he will be stabbed. If he hides his head, he will also be stabbed. He simply doesn't hide.
"Why are you leading us inside without even asking us why we're here at the auction?" Xiao Mu asked the waitress who led the way.
The waitress leading the way shuddered, turned stiffly and said:
"Are you...are you bidding on the item, or are you submitting it?"
Her voice was trembling, as if she was facing a terrifying 100,000-year-old soul beast.
But there is no difference. Zhan Kaishan has a hundred thousand year soul ring, and the danger level to them is about the same as that of a hundred thousand year soul beast.
"Please leave first. I will personally entertain these distinguished guests."
Xu Yunchang's voice made the waitress feel relieved.
"All three of you, please go upstairs."
Xu Yunchang's tone was relatively calm, and he wasn't as panicked as the waitress.
After leading Xiao Mu and the other two to the reception room, Xu Yunchang immediately bowed to Xiao Mu and said:
"I'm Xu Yunchang, the director of the Tiandou Auction House. May I ask if you are Mr. Xiao?"
"It's me." Xiao Mu replied indifferently.
Xu Yunchang's attitude became even more respectful.
"I know that the Canglan City Auction House violated the rules and offended you. As an apology, the Tiandou Auction House will not charge any of Mr. Xiao's purchases today. I hope Mr. Xiao will forgive me."
Xu Yunchang was relatively calm outside, but now that there was no one else around, he almost knelt down.
In order to calm Xiao Mu's anger, he was prepared to bleed heavily.
"Huh, you're smarter than the person in charge of the Canglan City Auction House."
If the person in charge of the Canglan City Auction House had had the same attitude as him, perhaps the Canglan City Auction House would not have been razed to the ground.
Xu Yunchang roared, "If I had known about the shady dealings at the Canglan City auction house earlier, I would have made them regret coming into this world."
Xu Yunchang's words came from the bottom of his heart.
The Canglan City Auction House offended a Titled Douluo for no reason, which was simply courting death. The key was that it caused him to be terrified, fearing that the Tiandou Auction House would also be razed to the ground.
Xiao Mu chuckled.
"We in the Soul Palace are not some unreasonable force. As long as you follow the rules and observe etiquette, we will not make things difficult for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for your forgiveness."
After hearing what Xiao Mu said, Xu Yunchang felt like a drowning man who finally surfaced.
He was particularly concerned about the word Soul Palace mentioned by Xiao Mu.
When news came from Canglan City that the Soul Palace had destroyed the auction house, he suspected that the people in Canglan City had misheard it, and that it was not the Soul Palace but the Wuhun Palace.
Now that he heard Xiao Mu say it himself, he realized that the news he had heard was true.
But this person is really bold. He actually dares to use the same name as the Spirit Hall.
"Mr. Xiao, why are you visiting our auction house?"
Xu Yunchang asked cautiously.
"I came here to give something to the auctioneer."
Xu Yunchang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Xiao, please rest assured. Our Tiandou Auction House is definitely not a place like the Canglan City Auction House. We will definitely satisfy you."
"You will be our honored guest from now on. We at Tiandou Auction House will not charge any handling fees for the items you auction."
