I don't deny it. Gu Ping's misstep, along with Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, has some reasoning behind the rankings of the Heavenly Ranking.
Hong's words were a bit too blunt, and Bu Luo didn't belittle himself either. After all, aside from that Gu Ping who appeared out of nowhere, those ahead of me are all in their seventies or eighties, heading towards a hundred. Can I not aspire for something more brilliant than them?
Am I not the same? Why wouldn't Ming Yue Qing Chen give it her all? Is she afraid of exposing her identity?
If Hong keeps quiet, then it wouldn't be interesting anymore. He doesn't deny it. What kind of petty person would fear exposure? Does he think he can fool Bu Luo and Hong?
Ah, I didn't expect my brother to be so slick with his words.
Hong Ling pointed at Gu Ping and, with a sideways glance at Jiang Anbo, said something that caught Jiang Anbo off guard.
I don't deny it. My dear, I don't deny it. Haha.
Oh, so it seems that I don't deny it while hiding my identity.
It's quite embarrassing to say this, but he grew up in the eastern secret realm of Tiandong City under the Tree Ancestor. Recently, I've heard that the Sky East Tournament is quite interesting; he secretly slipped out to take a look. The Demon Spirits in the secret realm call him Tree Treasure. He casually gave himself a name, fearing that others might underestimate him.
Raised by Demon Spirits, does that mean I'm one of Qiankun Dao's people?
Regardless of how you look at it, he certainly doesn't deny it as an individual.
That must be true.
"Hong Yulong," that sounded a bit ambiguous, causing Hong Ling beside him to laugh again. This made Hong Yulong feel a little more at ease; after all, it had been a long time since he had seen Hong Ling so happy. Now that they were out, he couldn't let her stay gloomy all day.
Putting that aside, may I ask you two friends where I could buy some things?
I want to buy something; isn't the Sky's End Tower a good place for shopping?
Hong Ling shook her head. Walking through the largest auction house in Tian Di Dong, it was indeed puzzling to be asked where to buy things.
Red Maiden, however, was unaware that he had grown accustomed to staying in that secret realm. There were plenty of items there, but not many spirit stones. Wanting to buy something made him feel a bit embarrassed.
Gu Ping casually took out a piece of stone that looked red with a hint of purple from his Soul Ring and placed it on the table, instantly catching the attention of Hong Ling and Hong Yulong.
"Deep Red Refined Iron?"
Jiang Anbo looked at Gu Ping in surprise. He had never known that guy had such things. Knowing that such a large piece of Deep Red Refined Iron could easily enhance the quality of any spirit tool just by rubbing some powder into it was astonishing, especially given its size.
Before the three could collect their thoughts, Gu Ping pulled out another large translucent item. Jiang Anbo and Hong Yulong couldn't recognize what it was, but Hong Ling, who came from a family of merchants, immediately identified it.
"Isn't that Serpent Skin? A piece that big must have come from a demon king!"
"Don't rush; there's more," Gu Ping said as he took out an exquisite piece of Jade, a deep blue Amber, and a large Red Stone Pillar radiating Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. These were rare treasures of nature, leaving the three at the table dazzled and unable to distinguish between them.
That series of actions by Dong Lai made both Hong Ling and Hong Yulong believe that the person before them was raised by a demon beast. With so many rare items gathered in one individual, it was unlikely that there would be another Golden Core Cultivator like him in this world.
In fact, friends could easily go to an auction to trade items. Those treasures were all extraordinary; just one of them would be enough for an ordinary cultivator to enjoy a lifetime of luxury. Were they really worried about not having pocket money?
"I don't deny it," he said. Were they afraid of being deceived? If the two friends had any connections, they might as well introduce him to Yi Dong.
Hehe.
Gu Ping's words were cut short by Hong Ling's laughter.
"Perhaps you don't know, but the Sky's End Tower is part of the Hong Family's estate. If you trust me, I can handle it for you and guarantee a satisfactory price."
It truly was a case of searching high and low without finding anything. It seemed he would have to trouble the Red Maiden.
If the three of them knew that those items were stored by Gu Ping in the Dao Foundation, these trivial little things might provoke a treasure hunt.
After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Yoyo bounced back into Gu Ping's arms. Seeing the little fox with slightly flushed cheeks eased Gu Ping's mind a bit as he placed Yoyo on his shoulder.
Red Foxes, as spirit pets, were mostly favored by young ladies from noble families. While they weren't exactly common spirit beasts, they were quite familiar, so having just one fox wouldn't expose Gu Ping's identity. With Gu Ping's earlier actions, Hong Yulong's suspicions had dropped to a minimum, temporarily eliminating the risk of exposure.
