It's no problem; he is prepared.
A fisherman must naturally be ready. The Nascent Soul in the East is sufficient on its own, while Transcendence in the East of Fusion can also rely on Ye You. If not, the Great Master present would likely need Xiao Zhe, the Ancestor, to step in. However, such a Great Master entering the Sky's End Tower auction house would surely attract Hong Ling's attention, making that scenario unlikely unless Coco appears.
There will be trouble unless there are two individuals at Ye You's level of Transcendence and High Leg; otherwise, Coco won't show up. Gu Ping doesn't believe another person like Ye You will appear. This is why Gu Ping feels so secure; there’s no one he cannot handle.
Having arrived in Puyang Xian City, Gu Ping has recovered somewhat from the severe blow dealt by Zhang Hongyan earlier. His injuries have nearly healed, and he feels that the bottleneck he faced is becoming increasingly apparent. Even if Zhang Hongyan were to strike again with the Blood Leg Seal of Luo Tian, Gu Ping wouldn't suffer such severe injuries again.
Ye You arrived around ten in the evening, just as the auction was about to begin.
Though Sky's End Tower resembles a building, it is more like a spatial artifact crafted by a Great Master with unfathomable powers. Each floor's space is far larger than it appears, and opening each door reveals another unique scene. This is what allows Sky's End Tower to stand resiliently in this world for ages. Such mastery has been held by the Hong Clan for generations, and outsiders have no way of knowing its secrets. Thus, there is no consensus on whether Sky's End Tower is a building or an artifact; opinions vary widely.
The auction venue was set on the third floor. Turning left upon entering leads to the innermost door of the corridor on the right side, which opens into another space divided into three levels. Among the crowd of temporary cultivators, it’s unclear if any High Leg are hiding their identities.
The middle level is furnished with tables and chairs, filled with noble families and sects enjoying beautiful women and fine wine while songstresses play music.
The top level is shrouded in a misty glow that obscures its appearance. Gu Ping learned from Hong Ling that this level is reserved for several major Super Sects when they have specific needs; it’s rarely used otherwise.
With the VIP Card given by Hong Ling in hand, a maid led Gu Ping and Ye You to the second floor. Just as they arrived on the second floor, Gu Ping spotted a familiar face: Ying Wuyi, the Third Prince of the Ying Clan. Beside him was Wei Qinping, who seemed somewhat unfamiliar; Bu Luo appeared to be an elder from his family.
Gu Ping kept quiet and asked the maid to inquire if they minded sharing a table.
Upon hearing the maid's message, Ying Wuyi raised an eyebrow and scrutinized Gu Ping and Ye You. Although Ye You was beautiful and Gu Ping, with his Mumei-like features, was handsome enough, Ying Wuyi couldn't recall having met either of them before. Could it be that he didn't recognize their identities?
Thinking of this, Ying Wuyi waved his leg. The disciples of the Ying Clan were indeed composed; they were not afraid of playing tricks with him. Moreover, Ying Wuyi was genuinely intending to head towards the Daozong Mountain Gate. If someone could guide him, it would save him a lot of trouble.
He had met Gu Young Master and Miss Ye.
The maid had just introduced the identities and names of the two, but at this moment, Ying Wuyi completely ignored the formalities, as if the three were not even present.
"Young Master Ying is being too polite. My younger brother Ziren is dull-witted. During the battle in the Eastern Extreme Secret Realm, he couldn't compete with you against the Nine Nether Invasion, so he could only shout encouragement from outside. We truly feel ashamed that we couldn't hear you. I wonder how Young Master came to our Dao Sect's territory? If there’s anything you need, my younger brother will certainly do his utmost to assist you."
"It’s no trouble. I actually have some matters to discuss. May I ask what position Gu Young Master Ru Ming holds in your Sect?"
"Bu Luo is just a mere Outer Sect Disciple, nothing significant. Fortunately, I was appreciated by the Ancestor and accepted as a disciple, but I cannot rely on the Ancestor's name to show off. One must work hard on their own."
As Gu Ping spoke, a hint of disdain flashed in Ying Wuyi's eyes at the first half of his words. However, the latter half piqued his interest. What kind of person was the Ancestor? To be worthy of being called an Ancestor, one must at least be a Great Master at the Integration Stage; Ancestor's disciples were not to be looked down upon.
"As for my Master's name, it's better left unmentioned. If Young Master has any matters that require negotiation, he can speak outside; just let my younger brother listen. If it’s something I can help with, who knows?"
Looking at Gu Ping's smile that seemed to hint at something deeper, Ying Wuyi felt that Gu Ping might have guessed his purpose for coming here. If that were true, it would indeed be thought-provoking.
Let’s see how this trip turns out first; other matters can be discussed later.
Very well, we shall discuss them later.
