A spot in the Heavenly Dao Union was something that many elites coveted. It was something worth the desperation and prayers for.
At this moment, the middle-aged scholar happened to walk in front of the treasures sent from the Li Fire Sect. Elder Gongsun Ding deliberately let Gongsun Yang introduce the treasures, in a bid to let Gongsun Yang leave an impression on the middle-aged scholar.
It was a rare opportunity. Gongsun Yang introduced the treasures eloquently as he showed off his insight into the world’s various treasures that peppered his speech.
Whenever the middle-aged scholar asked a question, Gongsun Yang would answer in great detail as if he had been injected with stimulants.
For this, he had prepared for several days to obtain an exhaustive understanding of all these treasures.
“You know quite a lot.” The middle-aged scholar evaluated him lightly. This made Gongsun Yang feel like he had received a great deal of rewards. He was immediately overjoyed but he kept a humble tone and said, “Thank you for Lord Ambassador’s praise. This junior’s knowledge is still limited. If it’s possible, I wish to receive a guidance or two from the Lord.”
Gongsun Yang’s words was an obvious hint to let the middle-aged scholar give him a chance at entering the Heavenly Dao Union. Only by entering the Heavenly Dao Union, could he obtain the middle-aged scholar’s guidance.
The middle-aged scholar only chuckled in response to this and he did not reply. However, a sneer sounded from beside him.
This sneer clearly imbued the derision of how Gongsun Yang was like a toad lusting after a swan’s feathers.
Oh?
Gongsun Yang stared. At such an occasion, in the presence of so many important figures where everyone was amiable, with compliments flowing between each other, someone was so presumptuous that he sneered!
He gritted his teeth and looked over, and he noticed that the person who sneered was a handsome-looking young boy.
This young boy looked to be seventeen or eighteen. Although he was young, no one dared to think lightly of him as he was a member of the Heavenly Dao Union. Furthermore, he was highly appreciated in the Heavenly Dao Union.
This youth was clearly arrogant to a certain degree for him to emit such a mocking sneer in this situation. Clearly, he did not think much of Gongsun Yang.
However, no matter how much Gongsun Yang raged in his heart, he did not dare to say a word.
His stature was inferior!
The youth was a blessed child of Heaven from the Heavenly Dao Union. He was young with unlimited prospects for his future. As for Gongsun Yang, he still needed to use all sorts of schemes just to get into the Heavenly Dao Union. The difference was imaginable.
Towards the insolence of the handsome youth, the middle-aged scholar did not reprimand him in any way. It was as if he did not hear it as he continued to look at the treasures.
“This darn kid dares to look down on me!”
Gongsun Yang clenched his fists tightly and suppressed the anger from the humiliation he suffered.
Just as the middle-aged scholar was about to look at the next faction’s treasures, Gongsun Yang’s expression suddenly changed!
Beside him, Gongsun Ding’s expression also sank suddenly.
A moment ago, their voice transmission token had sent news that they found incredulous.
The news was sent to them by a Li Fire Sect warden, who said that a Man-ranked shop set up by their Li Fire Sect had been destroyed!
And the manager, shopkeeper and guards of the shop were all crippled without exception!
How… could there be such a thing?
Gongsun Ding found it hard to believe. Who could have such guts!?
The minute changes between him and Gongsun Yang was sensed by the middle-aged scholar. Although he gave off a breezy feeling, he was very cognizant of the thoughts and emotional changes of all the people around him.
He lightly glanced at Gongsun Ding and said, “Did something happen?”
“This… ” Gongsun Ding frowned. The shameful news of their Li Fire Sect’s shop being destroyed was not something he wanted to mention in front of a Martial Alliance Ambassador.
“Just some small matter. Someone cause trouble in our Li Fire Sect’s shop.”
“Trouble?” The middle-aged scholar chuckled. If it was some typical trouble, it would not have caused Gongsun Ding’s expression to change so drastically.
However, he did not expose him. Instead, a thin man’s expression beside the middle-aged scholar turned sullen.
He was the steward of Heaven Martial City, and he was the so-called “Lord Zhang” previously mentioned by the long-faced man.
This “Lord Zhang” was in charge of security in Heaven Martial City. Now, with the Martial Alliance’s Ambassador here, he naturally did not feel good about there being a major security lapse in Martial Alliance that he administered.
