Serving as a Jinyiwei, starting from plundering the swordsmanship talent

Chapter 257 The Third Young Master of the Ding Family? He's getting old after all.
Should someone notify his father?
No, absolutely not!
What a joke! If my father knew that I wanted to give up swordsmanship and switch to spearmanship, he would probably sever our father-son relationship in public.

How could Tianzheng possibly allow such a thing to happen?

I refused without even thinking about it.

Moreover, this answer angered Tianzheng.

I've already given two million, so how could I not make up for the remaining amount with my connections?
have to say.

Tianzheng's idea was somewhat reasonable.

",,,"

The entire room fell silent for a moment.

"puff!"

I don't know who was the first to break down and burst out laughing.

Finally, the quiet atmosphere was broken, and many people started laughing along with the others.

"Hahahaha!"

"I couldn't hold back anymore, hahaha! I just couldn't hold back!"

"Haha! Hahahaha!"

",,,"

Xie Fenghao, who was backstage, had a gloomy expression because of Tian Zheng's performance.

Although I had heard before that the son of Dao Mo Tian Kuang was a spoiled brat, I didn't take it too seriously. But I really didn't expect that he would dare to cause trouble in their Xie family's auction.

"Master, what about us?"

Those standing by didn't know what to do either, after all, Tian Zheng didn't seem to have much of a brain.

However, since the other party's residence belongs to a Grandmaster, we still have to give them face.

"Ignore it!"

With a gloomy face, Xie Fenghao said something in a low voice.

While it's important to cultivate good relationships, it doesn't mean we should tolerate others without limits, allowing them to trample on the Xie family's head.

Otherwise, what face would the Xie family have left?

"Understood!"

Hearing Xie Fenghao say this, both sides immediately felt much more at ease.

They certainly wouldn't have the guts to make such a decision themselves; it has to be Xie Fenghao, the head of the family, who makes it.

,,,

"What are you laughing at? What are you all laughing at!"

Having already been humiliated, Tian Zheng was already extremely angry.

Tian Zheng wasn't so stupid as to not realize that these people were laughing at him.

"Master!"

The attendant standing to the side was already feeling a chill run down his spine. Damn it, if he had known the young master was this stupid, he would have sent someone else instead.

Although he was at the late stage of the Innate Realm, there were many martial artists present, many of whom had higher cultivation levels than him. If a fight broke out...

The attendant dared not say that he could definitely protect Tianzheng.

He immediately tugged at Tianzheng's sleeve, trying to pull him back to his seat.

It's just a shame.

Tian Zheng, who was already somewhat embarrassed and angry, had no idea how to restrain himself and started shouting at the people around him.

"How dare you laugh at me? Don't you know my father is the Demon of the Knife? Believe me or not, I'll tell my father everything that happened today, and none of you will escape!"

have to say.

Such threats are still somewhat effective.

The previously unrestrained laughter has indeed quieted down considerably.

"Hmph, even if Senior Blade Demon were to come, he probably wouldn't be the one to teach us a lesson first!"

Just then, someone in the crowd suddenly snorted and said something.

Tian Zheng immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

"Who said that? Step forward!"

next moment.

Not far from the front row, someone stood up.

"My name is Ding Feichen. Others may fear you, but I, Ding Feichen, am not!"

As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Tian Zheng with equal intensity, seemingly unafraid of the Blade Demon Tian Kuang behind Tian Zheng.

"It's you!"

When I saw the other person's face.

Tian Zheng's face instantly darkened. It was clear that he had recognized Ding Feichen's identity, but considering something, he still restrained his emotions.

"this is?"

What a show!

This auction was much more interesting than I had expected.

Ye Liuyun looked on with an expression of watching a show, showing no intention of intervening at all. When he saw another person stand up, he glanced over at them.

According to the system's detection, apart from his cultivation level reaching the initial stage of the Innate Realm, there was nothing else noteworthy.

In terms of talent attributes, they are about the same as Tian Zheng.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun had become interested.

Xie Ling'er, who was standing to the side, immediately began to think about the information about this Ding Feichen.

"I remembered!"

soon.

Xie Ling'er then realized something.

"This Ding Feichen is the third young master of the Ding Family Escort Agency. The Ding Family Escort Agency is quite powerful, with its escort routes connecting three imperial territories. I've heard that the head of the Ding family's escort agency is also a Grandmaster!"

They were able to extend the escort agency's routes to the territories of three dynasties.

That means the Ding family has extensive connections, and with a Grandmaster-level head镖师 (chief镖师) at that, they really don't need to fear the Blade Demon Tian Kuang.

but!

Thinking of something, Xie Ling'er leaned close to Ye Liuyun's ear and whispered something.

"According to the information, although Ding Feichen is the third young master, he is the chief bodyguard of the Ding family. He was born to a maid while drunk, so his status is not high. However, Ding Feichen has a good reputation."

"He has always been kind to others and has won over many people within the Ding Family Escort Agency!"

Be kind to others?

Ye Liuyun raised an eyebrow slightly. No wonder.

I've seen it before; Ding Feichen's talent attributes aren't high-grade, but they are some rather interesting ones.

"Target: Ding Feichen!"
Realm: Early stage of innateness!
Talent Attributes: Hidden Weapon Mastery (Blue), Lightness Skill Talent (Blue), Patience (Blue)

"Hold your tongue (blue): Keep your strength hidden and be good at disguising yourself."

For Ye Liuyun at his current level, the three blue talents are only considered average.

That kind of forbearance is somewhat interesting.

After learning about Ding Feichen's situation, one can roughly understand what his talent represents.

In the current era.

Even if a son born to a maid is the third young master, he is destined not to be valued.

Especially the Ding Family Escort Agency, which is no small business.

There always needs to be an heir.

Amidst the open and covert struggles, Ding Feichen's status meant he was destined to face exclusion and ridicule. How dare a son born to a maidservant try to compete with them, the legitimate and illegitimate sons, for the family fortune?
Even those born to concubines had a higher status than those born to maids.

Under such circumstances, brute force is certainly pointless.

Cultivating good relationships is for the purpose of expanding one's network.

The reason for remaining hidden is to accumulate strength; perhaps even stepping forward now is part of a calculation.

Ye Liuyun didn't interrupt this good show; instead, he watched it with great interest.

,,,

"Ding Feichen, you lowly child born of a maid, how dare you talk back to me!"

Although the Ding Family Escort Agency is not to be trifled with, you, Ding Feichen, are not of pure blood, yet you dare to disobey me?

These words caused Ding Feichen's face to darken slightly. He took several deep breaths to calm himself down. The issue of his identity had always been Ding Feichen's most embarrassing problem.

Now it's being said so freely.

Ding Feichen even felt a surge of killing intent towards Tian Zheng.

But considering his own purpose, he held back.

He said with a serious expression.

"No matter who I am, it doesn't affect my dissatisfaction with your behavior."

"We are all martial artists, and we value these cultivation resources. What right do you, Tianzheng, have to deprive us of our opportunities!"

"Do you think it's just because of your father? Although I respect Senior Dao Mo, I believe that if Senior Dao Mo were here, he would not have allowed you to do this!"

These words were indeed spoken with a sense of righteous indignation.

It seemed as if she couldn't stand Tianzheng's actions.

But these words inadvertently linked him with everyone present.

It seems that even if Dao Mo Tian Kuang really comes and wants Ding Feichen to make a move, everyone present will have to face him together with Ding Feichen.

After all, we're standing up for them!
"You do have some brains!"

Having realized this,

Ye Liuyun laughed instead. He wasn't exactly a righteous person, and he had used scheming and plotting before he was strong enough.

Ding Feichen does have some redeeming qualities.

,,,

"it is good!"

"As expected of Young Master Ding!"

"well said!"

"That's right. Are you the only one who needs to cultivate, and none of us do?"

"Even if the Sword Demon senior comes, we will not submit!"

Ye Liuyun saw through Ding Feichen's scheme.

But among those present, very few could see it like Ye Liuyun. After a brief silence, the scene suddenly became much livelier, with many people standing up to support Ding Feichen.

There was nothing they could do; Tianzheng had been far too arrogant before, which had already aroused the dissatisfaction of many people.

only.

If they were to confront Tianzheng's flowers alone, they wouldn't have the guts, but with so many people around, they've clearly become bolder.

"you,,"

This scene.

This made Tianzheng even angrier, and he could barely speak.

"Master!"

The attendant standing to the side was truly helpless.

If a fight breaks out, with so many people present, even protecting oneself will be a problem, let alone protecting Tianzheng under the control of so many people.

"If this matter blows up and reaches the master's ears, I'm afraid the young master will also be in trouble!"

To prevent Tianzheng from continuing to "courte himself".

The attendant could only lean close to Tianzheng's ear and whisper something.

",,,"

have to say.

These words were quite effective. After thinking of his father, Tianzheng's initial anger gradually subsided.

Indeed, if things really escalate, it will be difficult to collect the items.

"You wait for me!"

I won't say it; I won't lose face even if I lose the argument.

Tian Zheng glared fiercely at Ding Feichen one last time, his tone threatening.

It seems to be saying that what happened today will definitely not be left like this!

"Ah!"

Ding Feichen noticed the murderous look in her eyes, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Seeing that the people around him were looking at him much more kindly, Ding Feichen bowed gently to them on the surface, but inwardly he was extremely proud.

Regardless of how many of these people are sincere.

Even if there is only one, it is still a success. Due to his identity, Ding Feichen has to win over some external forces in addition to his own cultivation.

Only by relying on such power will I have a chance to compete with the other members of the Ding family for the position of family head.

He thought that others could have such an opportunity simply by following the proper training methods.

I have to plan so much to have even a sliver of hope.

Ding Feichen's hand, hidden under his sleeve, clenched involuntarily.

Fortunately, he managed to control himself and did not show any unusual emotions.

,,,

"You're at the late stage of the Innate Realm, right?"

Meanwhile, after sitting down, Tian Zheng seemed to have thought of something and quietly asked his attendant beside him.

"???"

The attendant was a little taken aback by the question.

But he nodded.

"What are your orders, young master?"

Even though he couldn't stand Tianzheng's foolish behavior most of the time, he was, after all, the master's son, so he could only do his job honestly.

"Yes, Not Bad!"

He heard his follower admit that he had the strength of the late stage of the Innate Realm.

Tian Zheng nodded in satisfaction, but instead of revealing his purpose directly, he muttered something disdainfully for a while.

"I heard that Ding Feichen, although he has some talent, is only at the initial stage of the Innate Realm. A bastard is a bastard. How can he be considered talented? He probably had someone spread the rumors himself!"

It's clear that Tianzheng harbors a great deal of malice towards Ding Feichen.

However, Tianzheng actually guessed right about some things.

These messages were indeed spread by Ding Feichen himself through secret channels.

The goal is simple: to expand one's influence.

",,,"

However, looking at Tian Zheng's disdainful expression...

The attendant standing to the side was somewhat speechless. It was nothing special that Ding Feichen had just entered the Innate Realm at this age. Young Master, have you forgotten that you are not even in the Acquired Realm yet?

Of course.

In that case, the attendant would only think about it in his mind, and wouldn't be foolish enough to say it directly to Tianzheng's face.

After a moment of silence.

The attendant took a deep breath and voiced his doubts.

"So, what is the young master planning to do?"

"That's right!"

He first nodded in agreement, then waved his hand, signaling his attendants to come closer to him.

"After the auction ends, we'll follow Ding Feichen and kill him as soon as we leave Xie family territory!"

It's clear that Tianzheng, while arrogant, isn't completely brainless. At least he knows that even if he wants to cause trouble, he can't do so directly on Xie's territory.

Hearing this,

The attendants, on the other hand, didn't think anything of it. Given their young master's vindictive nature, it was only natural that he would want to retaliate against Ding Feichen after losing so much face.

"But that's the third young master of the Ding family after all. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to attack him directly?"

The Ding family has a Grandmaster, and although it's said that he's always been at the early stage of Grandmaster, the early stage is still Grandmaster, and they can't deal with him.

"What are you afraid of!"

Tian Zheng, however, looked completely unconvinced.

"That Ding Feichen is nothing but a lowly bastard, born of a maid. What status can he have in the Ding family? Besides, the head of the Ding family is a Grandmaster. Isn't my father a Grandmaster too? Can Ding Feichen's status in the Ding Family Escort Agency compare to my status in my father's heart?"

Speaking of it.

Tian Zheng was still quite arrogant. No matter what, he was of pure blood, which was incomparable to someone like Ding Feichen.

",,,"

Do you really not know that the master is about to give up on you?
Seeing Tianzheng's smug expression, the attendant sighed inwardly, thinking, "Who told Tianzheng to have absolutely no talent for swordsmanship?"

Forget it.

Since things had already come to this point, the attendant couldn't say anything more.

Instead, he nodded slightly.

"I understand, please rest assured, young master!"

Anyway, he was just a follower. If anything happened, Tianzheng would take the blame, and it wouldn't concern him at all.

"it is good!"

but.

This reaction prompted Tianzheng to look at his attendant.

The satisfaction in his eyes was much greater than before, as if he completely regarded the attendant as one of his own.

"Don't worry, work for me, and I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury!"

",,,"

Can I say that I've already made up my mind that once I get back, I'll stay far away from you?
I heard that in a few years, the young master will be able to start cultivating. I don't know how talented the young master is, but no matter what, it's more promising than following Tian Zheng!

Of course.

The attendant did not say this directly.

On the surface, he nodded solemnly.

He spoke with a serious expression.

"Thank you, Master!"

Tianzheng doesn't have any mind-reading abilities, so he has no idea what the other person is thinking.

He looked extremely satisfied.

There's also a feeling that everything is under control.

,,,

After Tianzheng and Ding Feichen quieted down,

The auction, which had just been bustling with activity, suddenly fell silent again.

However, some people were chatting secretly in private.

But as for the items being auctioned on stage, it was as if they had suddenly lost interest, and no one paid any attention to them anymore.

"this,,"

This is the case.

To be honest, the Xie family, who were hosting the auction, had never seen anything like it before.

I've hosted so many auctions before, but I've never seen anything like this before; it's truly outrageous.

no way.

He could only turn his head and look at Xie Fenghao behind the stage for instructions.

Xie Fenghao simply waved his hand in response.

They gestured for the people to move the auctioned item away and replace it with the next one. Anyway, the Xie family didn't lack one or two more auctioned items. If they couldn't sell them this time, they could just put them in the treasury and buy them again next time.

Let's calm things down first before making any further decisions.

Given Tianzheng's performance just now, Xie Fenghao was even considering stepping in himself.

A mere sword demon is no match for Xie Fenghao.

But unexpectedly, another Ding Feichen popped up.

Xie Fenghao immediately saw through Ding Feichen's intentions.

I have to say, they do have some brains.

but!

Xie Fenghao's gaze swept across the room and he saw a cruel smile on Tian Zheng's lips.

Obviously.

Ding Feichen is still quite young, and he doesn't have a clear understanding of the wickedness of people's hearts!
