Chapter 2935: Liu Sanqiang
“Even more precious . ” Li Qiye smiled .
She stood there in a daze, aware of who Lankavatara Buddha was .
This progenitor could be on the same level as Desolate Saint according to some sources . Just a regular carving from such a being should be amazing .
This might be the reason why the two monks wanted to buy it . They just weren’t completely sure .
“Can you tell me what it is?” She inquired .
“Catch . ” Li Qiye laughed and threw it towards her .
Her soul almost left the body as the carving flew through the air . She rushed forward to catch it, afraid of the consequence .
She felt sweet relief after holding it firmly with both hands . Nevertheless, they were still shaking - a testament to her nervousness earlier .
Even if it wasn’t her family heirloom, losing an item that cost 100,000,000 stones was just too much to take .
“What…?” She didn’t know why he tossed it to her as her eyes darted back and forth between the carving and him .
“Giving it to you, the original master, since it used to be your family heirloom . ” Li Qiye nonchalantly said .
“To… to . . . to me?!” She stammered and her volume rose to a shouting level towards the end .
How could Li Qiye just give this wooden carving that he bought for a sky-high sum to her just like that? She had never seen someone throwing money away in this manner before .
“Really?” It took a while before she could speak again .
She naturally wanted this wooden carving for the sake of her clan . First, this was her responsibility to bring it back regardless of its value .
Moreover, the clan sold it just so that she could cultivate in the past . This made her burden even heavier .
On the other hand, Li Qiye spent 100,000,000 to buy it .
“Of course . ” Li Qiye chuckled . He threw the carving away as if it was a single coin .
“I don’t want it . ” She took a deep breath and gave it back to him, albeit with hesitation .
“I do want it but you spent too much, I can’t take something so precious from you . ” She added and looked away .
This could have made the clan celebrate for removing a source of shame from everyone . Alas, she still couldn’t do it .
“Take it . ” Li Qiye didn’t take no for an answer: “Just a wooden carving . Even a True Buddha in person is no big deal to me . It’s the same for you and a bun . ”
She stared at Li Qiye and could tell that he was telling the truth .
“Thank you, Young Noble . ” She got on her knees after putting away the carving: “You have shown great kindness to our clan . I, Bai Jinninng, will be your ox and horse when you require my service . ”
“Rise . ” Li Qiye accepted the gesture and nodded .
She stood up with the carving in her chest, finally realizing that this wasn’t a dream despite feeling like one .
“Everyone, everyone, don’t miss Arrogance’s auction, it’s about to happen right now!” They heard a shout after crossing another street .
This youth wore shabby clothes with several pouches hanging by the waist - on the verge of becoming an adult but still had the hairstyle of a kid, hair combed up high with a traditional patch akin to that of a farm boy .
His oval face was large with a beaming smile, looking very friendly . One wouldn’t find his solicitation distasteful .
“Sir, come to our auction, it’s about to start, would you like an entry ticket?” The youth gave Li Qiye a pamphlet .
“Arrogance Enterprise?” Li Qiye smiled at him .
“Yes, our branch here is the largest in Immortal Lineage, no, even in all of Three Immortals . No other place in Sky Pass is bigger…”
“Get to the point . ” Li Qiye interrupted .
It sounded like a brag but this was indeed the truth . This branch of Arrogance was the largest in Three Immortals .
“Ahem . ” The youth was slightly embarrassed: “Sir, we are having a large-scale auction today, everyone can enter to see plenty of items such as Skywalk Pearl, Aeonic Buddhist Pot, Nine-star Plate…”
He went on about the various treasures, displaying his incredible memorization skill .
“It’s a big auction every five years . ” She forgot about it due to recent events
The enterprise has been advertising this for a while now .
“I see . ” Li Qiye lacked interest after hearing the treasures .
“Look at this one, Sir, it’s definitely worth a high price, an immortal coffin…” The youth noticed this and opened an advertising pamphlet for a sure-kill move .
“Sir, this coffin is from the immortal world itself, definitely unique and peerless . ” He went on .
Sure enough, Li Qiye was indeed won over by this coffin . The diagram in the pamphlet looked quite real, perhaps a good depiction of the actual item .
His eyes narrowed while looking at it .
“You found it during the previous calamity, right?” Li Qiye asked .
“Umm… I’m just a lowly worker and don’t know anything about that . . . but everyone says that it is from a world of immortals . ” The youth gave a vague response .
“So you don’t actually know . ” Li Qiye said .
“Sir, I’m just selling auction tickets and don’t know much . The auctioneer will introduce the items in detail . ” The youth hurriedly said .
“You sure sounded like you knew everything earlier . ” Li Qiye said .
“Is that so…” The youth forgot about his spiel earlier .
“Sir, would you like to buy a ticket? My price is the lowest in the city, honestly . Only 500 for you . ” The youth named Liu Sanqiang changed the topic .
“Didn’t it used to be 200? It’s a regular entry ticket, not a VIP one . ” Jinning lived in Sky Pass and knew about it .
“The price went up a little bit…” The youth instantly defended: “But I guess since meeting you is my pleasure, I will reduce the price, just 200 . I’m losing money now…” He lamented .
“You dare to take my money?” Li Qiye grabbed the ticket from him and smiled .
“Sir… I’m just a nobody trying to survive by selling tickets . ” The youth put on a pained expression since Li Qiye took his ticket without paying .
