Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 2631: Chapter 2610: I Told You I Would Come

Chapter 2610: I Said I Would Come.

The Luan Family holds the most sway.

"He must be eradicated," said Luan Zhengtang, looking at Shen Youwei. He was quite unwilling to attend such meetings, feeling he had lost face among the Prominent Family. He hadn’t agreed to Shen Youwei’s alliance before, yet the grievance remained unresolved. If he could root out Lin Feng, he would do it with all his might.

"No matter what kind of shop this kid opens, we must find a way to make the business unsustainable!" Shen Youwei proposed this, because he knew the industries of various families in Lin City were divided across different domains. No matter what shop Lin Feng opened, there was always a way to ruin it.

The heads of various families nodded. After so many years, Lin City finally welcomed a situation of peace, and they couldn’t let such a person disrupt this situation. No matter which family Lin Feng allied with, it would pose a considerable threat to other Prominent Families.

In this room, only the family heads of the Zhan Family and the Peng Family sat drinking tea. Zhan Hancheng wanted to win over Lin Feng, but he knew Lin Feng would not submit to any family, and he wouldn’t be foolish enough to ally with other families against Lin Feng. The current situation could only be verbally agreed upon casually.

And far away in the corner, sat an old man dressed in black, the head of the Peng Family, Peng Bo, in a detached posture. From the moment he entered, he hadn’t said a word; he merely wanted to hear what these people intended to do. He never interfered with other families’ affairs, but he firmly believed that if people didn’t offend him, he wouldn’t offend them. As long as his own interests weren’t threatened, he disdained joining other families in mutual hostility.

Shen Youwei felt that at this moment the eight families had united in their plan to confront Lin Feng, and his anxious heart finally calmed down...

After the meeting, Zhan Hancheng didn’t return to Lin City’s Council of Elders; instead, he went to the auction house to find Lin Feng.

"Young Friend Lin, Shen Family truly joined forces with other families intending to deal with you this time, they aim to control the market and destroy your shop." Zhan Hancheng stated directly upon seeing Lin Feng, still worried about Lin Feng. If he informed Lin Feng in advance, at least he would be mentally prepared.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was deeply grateful for Elder Zhan informing him again of this matter, but to him, it wasn’t a threat at all. He knew the strength of these families roughly, as long as it wasn’t a patriarch-level individual taking action, he could handle it. He then smiled calmly and said, "Let them do whatever they want."

Zhan Hancheng saw Lin Feng unaffected and found it so strange, not understanding why Lin Feng was so confident. With everything at this critical point, Lin Feng remained so composed. Thus, he said to Lin Feng, "They’ve united, so in that situation, I could only agree with them, but you should still be careful."

"Thank you, Elder Zhan, I know." Lin Feng politely thanked Zhan Hancheng. He knew this was truly out of concern, regardless of whether it was for interests or to win him over; Lin Feng was still very thankful to him.

Elder Zhan saw Lin Feng’s calm demeanor, didn’t say anything further, and subsequently left the auction house.

......

Time passed rapidly, and three days went by.

The Holy Pill Pavilion wasn’t fully renovated yet, but Lin Feng and others had all moved to the Holy Pill Pavilion’s backyard. They had troubled Xue Fan for a long time, and Lin Feng didn’t want to disturb Xue Fan any further; now that they had the Holy Pill Pavilion, it was inappropriate to continue bothering Xue Fan.

At this moment, Lin Feng was strolling the streets with Ma Biaohu, Tangyuan, and Xue’er, wanting to purchase some spiritual medicine for alchemy preparation for the Holy Pill Pavilion, when suddenly, Lin Feng’s Communication Talisman lit up...

"Young Friend Lin, where are you?" It turned out that Xue Fan was contacting Lin Feng. Xue Fan didn’t know if Lin Feng had left Lin City, so he used a talisman to communicate with him.

"Elder Xue, I’m still in Lin City." Lin Feng, seeing it was Xue Fan, smiled calmly. He was very grateful for Xue Fan’s constant care, assuming Xue Fan must have something important.

Xue Fan, hearing Lin Feng’s response, laughed heartily, saying, "That’s perfect, come to the auction house, I have important matters to discuss with you."

After hearing this, Lin Feng immediately headed to the auction house with Ma Biaohu, Tangyuan, and Xue’er.

Upon entering, he saw Xue Fan sitting in the hall, flipping through a booklet, warmly approaching Lin Feng.

"Elder Xue, what did you want to discuss?" Lin Feng asked straightforwardly. He didn’t know what in Elder Xue’s view was considered important, that required him to hurry to the auction house.

"Haha, actually, it’s nothing urgent, just responding to the need of all the auction masters in Lin City, the auction was brought forward this year, and suddenly it made me think of Young Friend Lin, thinking you might be interested, perhaps there are things you’ll fancy, so I asked if you were in Lin City." Xue Fan was very happy to see Lin Feng, he thought Lin Feng wasn’t at the auction house because he left for the Southern Region ocean. Fortunately, Lin Feng hadn’t left.

Lin Feng smiled faintly, looking at Elder Xue and said, "Is this auction going to be very large?"

He had been in Lin City for a while, indeed wanting to attend an auction. Previously witnessing the auctions in Xucheng and Ling City, those city scales weren’t as big as Lin City’s yet were very grand, presumably, this auction would be significantly grand as well. He was indeed very interested.

"The scale is quite impressive, after all it’s the annual auction. Many sellers entrust their treasures to the year-end auction, hoping for a good price. If Young Friend Lin isn’t in a hurry to leave, perhaps you could attend," Xue Fan said. He knew Lin Feng had no issues with wealth and had a keen eye for treasures, hoping to help Lin Feng acquire something useful.

"What’s good this time?" Lin Feng asked, as he was accustomed to seeing rare treasures, and only needed to bid if it was something he required.

Xue Fan smiled, handed the booklet on the table to Lin Feng, and patted his shoulder, saying, "For others, it’s confidential, but you can see it."

Lin Feng received the booklet, flipped through it, and indeed there were many good items. Lin City truly was a grand city, with many Dharma Treasures he could use. He then asked, "Elder Xue, when will it be held?"

"Three days later." Seeing Lin Feng’s keen interest, Xue Fan replied, hoping to see him at the auction, as Lin Feng was a distinguished guest of the Myriad Gods Tower. His attendance would surely add color to the event.

"Alright, I will be there." Lin Feng gave Elder Xue a slight smile. He was quite interested in this auction, as despite being in Lin City for a while, he hadn’t truly attended one yet. The auction attracted the powerful and influential of Lin City, giving him a chance to learn more about other Prominent Families and to prepare for founding his Sect.

Afterwards, Lin Feng bid farewell to Xue Fan and left the auction house,

........

With three days before the auction, Lin Feng spent the leisurely time setting up formations for the Holy Pill Pavilion, just like in Ling City. The control center for the formations was on the top floor of the Holy Pill Pavilion. If danger arose, activating the control center would protect the Holy Pill Pavilion, including various attack formations to guard it in Lin Feng’s absence. This was a lesson learned in Ling City, not to give anyone the chance to destroy the Holy Pill Pavilion.

Three days passed in a flash, and Lin Feng completed the formation set-up.

On the day of the auction, Lin Feng arrived at the auction house with Ma Biaohu, Tangyuan, and Xue’er. Before reaching the entrance, the door was already crowded, with people lining up from the entrance to the opposite street, waiting in an orderly manner to enter. The grandeur of the auction was undeniable.

"It’s been a long time since we’ve had such a grand annual auction!"

"Yeah, I wonder what good treasures will show up this time!"

"There seems to be more people this year than previous years!"

...

The attendees were all talking. This auction was the grandest of the year, attracting the Prominent Families and the wealthy of Lin City, equipped with ample Yuan Stones to bid on their desired treasures.

"Boss! This is insane, do they not have to pay for things with so many people here!" Ma Biaohu joked. The crowd was several times larger than in Ling City. Fortunately, the auction house was big enough, otherwise, it wouldn’t accommodate everyone.

"Indeed, Boss, are all these people here for the auction?" Tangyuan, sitting on Lin Feng’s shoulder, asked while rolling its eyes. Logically, only wealthy people should attend, it mused, but given the vastness of Lin City, it made sense for there to be many rich people, so the crowd wasn’t surprising after all.

Lin Feng smiled without commenting, seeing so many people underscored the enormity of the auction compared to those in Ning City and Xucheng. He walked through the crowd to the entrance, where Xue Fan, greeting guests inside, quickly approached with a smile, "Young Friend Lin, I’ve been waiting for you, finally you’re here."

"Elder Xue, I said I would come," Lin Feng replied with a mild smile. Such a grand event, how could he not attend?

Following Elder Xue, they all entered the auction house and went straight to a room on the second floor to sit down.

Having visited the auction house many times, Lin Feng had never been to the second floor before. As he walked to the private room, he observed a circle of twelve suites on the second floor, offering a clear view of the auction area in the first-floor hall. The suites, however, were mutually invisible to each other, with outsiders unable to see inside.

After Lin Feng was seated, Elder Xue came in afterward, instructing a server to pour tea for Lin Feng. He stood by the window looking at the surrounding suites, unable to see inside them, and asked Elder Xue, "Who are the occupants of the other suites?"

"Oh, the suites on the second floor numbered one through eight belong to the eight major families of Lin City. They have fixed suites here, and each family sends someone to the annual auction. Today’s event is so grand that it’s estimated that the Family Heads themselves will attend. The year-end auction is a rather significant event in Lin City," Xue Fan explained to him.

Seeing a continuous stream of guests below, Xue Fan apologized to Lin Feng, "Young Friend Lin, I’m sorry, I have to go now. I haven’t attended to you well, today is exceptionally busy."

"Please, attend to your duties. I’ll look after myself here," Lin Feng smiled and said to Elder Xue. Xue Fan must have arranged this to keep Lin Feng’s identity confidential. Regardless, Xue Fan had always taken good care of him, considering everything for him thoroughly. Lin Feng certainly understood and appreciated it.
