The Indomitable Master of Elixirs Chapter 269 - Shameless (6)

Ji Fengyan shot Ji Qingshang a nonchalant look after seeing that she was trying so hard yet was not praised, causing her to almost burst into a fit of rage on the spot.

Seeing Ji Fengyan’s att.i.tude, Ji Qiu already had an idea in mind. He slowly opened his mouth to speak, “Fengyan, what you have said is correct. You purchased this Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed, so you are naturally free to decide what to do with it. This was also the promise that I have given you, but…”

Ji Qiu’s eyes narrowed as the tone of his voice suddenly changed. “Was this Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed really purchased by you?”

“That is naturally the case,” Ji Fengyan replied.

But Ji Qiu scoffed and clapped his palms together. Suddenly, a figure walked from the study room into the inner hall.

The man who had walked out was around 30 years old and the corner of his lips had an obvious wrinkle.

That man bowed to Ji Qiu. Ji Qiu nodded slightly and then turned to say to Ji Fengyan, “Do you still remember this person?”

Ji Fengyan looked at the man standing beside Ji Qiu and squinted her eyes. Her lips moved upwards as she said, “I remember, wasn’t he the auctioneer in the Sacred Dragon Auction House yesterday?”

“Very well, it seems like you have not forgotten,” Ji Qiu nodded with satisfaction, then continued to say, “if I’m not wrong, he auctioned the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed, isn’t it?”

“Yes.” said Ji Fengyan.

Ji Qiu did not continue to speak to Ji Fengyan and instead, turned to ask the auctioneer, “I have invited you here today because I have some things that I require you to vouch for.”

“You’re too polite Master Ji. If there is anything that I can help with, I will definitely be willing to do so,” the auctioneer smiled as he said.

Ji Qiu said, “Yesterday, was it this girl who had purchased the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed from the Sacred Dragon Auction House?”

The auctioneer looked at Ji Fengyan seriously and then nodded and said, “Yes, it was this customer.”

“Then what was the auctioning situation like yesterday? How did she manage to win the bid?” Ji Qiu questioned.

The auctioneer replied, “Yesterday, when the auction for the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed started, there were many people who had taken part. However, afterwards, Lei family’s Lei Qin took out her Sacred Dragon s.h.i.+eld to bid for the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed and no one could offer anything more valuable. Then, this customer suddenly took out a few defensive amulets to bid for the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed.”

The auctioneer said everything honestly and Ji Fengyan found nothing wrong with it. But the look in Ji Qiu’s eyes made her doubt whether things would be as simple as that!

Exactly as she had predicted, after the auctioneer finished, Ji Qiu’s eyes flashed with a look of understanding. He then turned to say to Ji Fengyan, “The Sacred Dragon s.h.i.+eld was a five star magical weapon bestowed upon the Lei family by Your Majesty and there was hardly any magical weapon that could beat it in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. Fengyan, if I’m not wrong, during the years that you were staying at the Ji residence, the Ji family had never given you any magical weapon. Moreover, Your Majesty had not rewarded you with any magical weapons so you have stolen the family’s magical weapon to purchase the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed. In that case, how could you say that this Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed belongs to you?”

After giving such a lengthy speech, Ji Qiu had finally revealed his true intentions!

The original owner of this body had lived in Ji family so miserably, so how was it possible to be in contact with any magical weapon?

Moreover, it was a magical weapon that could surpa.s.s the five star magical weapon of Sacred Dragon s.h.i.+eld?

Every word that Ji Qiu had said was revealing this flaw in her argument and had attributed the defensive amulet that did not match Ji Fengyan’s ident.i.ty as an item “belonging to the Ji family”!
