?

  Below, Yao Ji naturally also knew that the person who made the offer was Lou Shi North's son, Lou Jing. His face showed a hint of astonishment, but it flashed away in an instant. He smiled and said: "It seems that this piece of dry blue jade will probably belong to one of the two Lou sons today. I am honored to be able to host the auction for the two sons."

  Lou Fenghe and Lou Jing were both direct descendants of the Lou family, one from the Western Manor and the other from the Northern Manor, which were the two largest branches of the five manors of the Lou family, excluding their own. Yao Ji naturally knew about the conflicts between them, but neither side wanted to offend the other.

  At this point, the bids of both men had already exceeded the true value of the jade. The other young masters from the various aristocratic families present knew that it was a contest between the Northern and Western branches of the Lou family, so most of them were aware of the inside story and didn't dare to intervene in this muddy water.

  "Let it go with the wind, no need to force it, wait for another chance to see if we can find suitable materials." Li Hui advised after understanding the entanglement between the two.

  "You don't understand, when I and this guy meet, there will usually be a fight, but neither of us will give in to the other." Lou said with a shake of his head.

  "Twenty-eight thousand!" The price was raised again by Lou with a smile.

  "Twenty-nine thousand!" The languid voice floated out again.

  Lou's face turned somewhat unsightly with the wind, but he quickly spoke up: "Thirty thousand!"

  "Haha, the floor is yours, this piece of dry blue jade belongs to you now. I don't need it at all, but it's great that you're willing to spend some extra money on it, haha." At this time, Lou Jing's mocking and triumphant laughter echoed from his private room.

  Lou's face turned even uglier with the wind, this guy was deliberately making trouble, and he himself had suffered a dumb loss.

  Na Yujie was also slightly stunned, not expecting that Lou Jing would make such a move, but she immediately smiled and said: "This piece of Qinglan Xuan Yu belongs to Suifeng Gongzi."

  A beautiful maid immediately walked towards the pavilion where Rong was with the jade in her hands.

  "The building is swaying with the wind, don't sneak away quietly for a moment, is that little black cat of yours still there? Dare to fight me?" The lazy voice of Lou Jing came out again.

  The scene was in an uproar as those aristocratic young masters watched with great interest the fierce battle between the Lou family brothers.

  "Little black cat?" Li Hui's face showed a few parts of doubt.

  "This guy is talking about my spirit beast Xiao Hei!" Lou Suifeng said with an extremely ugly expression.

  Li Hui suddenly realized that the spiritual beast Lou Sui Feng had actually self-destructed and died when it encountered the Golden Winged Leopard during the assessment at Shen Feng Camp.

  "Lou Jing, what's the point of being a beast? If you have the guts, come down and fight me yourself. If not, it's better to hide in a woman's arms and rest." Lou Suifeng said coldly.

  The building was originally a good color, spending all day in a gentle village, but the words "the building follows the wind" also exposed his shortcomings.

  In another private room on the fourth floor, a slender young man in fine clothes was lounging lazily on a couch, surrounded by several beautiful women. His hands were restlessly fondling the softness of one woman's chest when he heard Lou's words, his face suddenly changed and he sat up.

  "The building is blown by the wind, what are you afraid of? On the contrary, it's you who should be careful not to get knocked down and have that little black cat of yours pick you up!"

  Lou Jing's voice came out again, but it was not retreating at all.

  Everyone present was shocked, not expecting the two young masters to take matters into their own hands today. However, Lou Suifeng has always been known as the number one among the younger generation of the Lou family, so people naturally had higher expectations for him.

  "The two young masters should restrain themselves, the Lou family rules, private fights between fellow clansmen are strictly forbidden!" A stern voice suddenly came, and a powerful spiritual sense swept over.

  Golden Elixir Cultivator! Li Hui's heart skipped a beat.

  Lou's face changed slightly as he heard the words, and he respectfully replied: "I will follow your teachings, I was reckless for a moment."

  The same voice also came from the private room of the building opposite.

  "Hmm!" The Golden Elixir cultivator let out a soft exclamation and only then did he withdraw his divine sense.

  Lou's face relaxed as he explained to Li Hui, "In this Carefree Island, in order to prevent some people from causing trouble, there are always golden elixir cultivators sent by my Lou family to preside over the island. It was one of them who just spoke out to stop him."

  Li Hui nodded.

  The young masters of those aristocratic families in the arena were somewhat disappointed that they did not get to see the two Lou family young masters engage in a fierce battle.

  "The building is with the wind, you dare not fight beasts with me, and it's against the clan rules to fight with me. Do you dare to gamble with my door guest?" Lou Zhan said today, occupying the upper hand, but even more provocatively.

  Lou's face changed with the wind, today was first auctioned by that Lou Jing's dark calculation, then proposed to fight beasts, his own spiritual beast had already died, but he couldn't speak out the bitterness, personally taking the stage was also arranged, now that Lou Jing actually wanted him and a certain guest to gamble and duel, openly intending to humiliate him.

  Li Hui naturally understood Lou Feng's embarrassment, but he was moved to say: "Lou Feng, just agree for now, I'll fight in your place."

  Lou looked at Li Hui with some emotion: "I'll remember this kindness."

  He immediately said in a loud voice: "Lou Jing, since you want to gamble on the war, then play something big. Let my friend teach you a few tricks of that guest. Of course, you can also take action yourself. If my friend loses, I will give you 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. If you lose, you must also give my friend 100,000 low-grade spirit stones as a reward. How about it? Do you dare to accept the challenge?"

  The floor with the wind sentence by sentence is talking about his own friends, and it's "pointing" a few moves, but it's pointing out Li Hui's identity, not treating that guest generally, and adding more than 100,000 heavy bets, obviously showing great confidence.

  "Alright! I'll bet a hundred thousand!" Lou Jing responded succinctly, apparently unwilling to back down either.

  The young masters of the aristocratic families in the field became excited again, originally thinking that this matter had been settled, but unexpectedly it stirred up waves again, with excitement on their faces.

  At this time, the maid holding the dry blue jade had already arrived outside the two people's private room and walked in after being allowed to do so.

  "The Wind Gentleman, the total is 30,000 low-grade spirit stones. Since it was a guest from afar who auctioned it off, we cannot give you a discount, however, we can waive the 5% fee that our store takes, so the total comes out to be 28,500 low-grade spirit stones." The maid said respectfully.

  Lou casually waved his hand and directly took out 285 mid-grade spirit stones from his storage bag to hand over.

  The maid put down the dry blue jade and retreated respectfully.

  "Li Hui, what kind of spiritual artifact do you want to refine?" Lou Suifeng asked with a smile, his face having already returned to normal.

  "I want to refine a set of three top-grade spiritual flying swords, requiring the weight, shape, and attributes to be exactly the same for all three flying swords." Li Hui replied quickly.

  Lou smiled with the wind: "Why not let me take care of it, I'll have our Western Prefecture's master craftsman refine it for you. The spiritual instruments produced by our Western Prefecture are the most famous in the entire Tianhu City, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

  Li Hui heard this and didn't decline: "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Lou."

  Lou smiled faintly: "It's just a small matter, thanks to you for helping me out today, or I would have lost face."

  Li Hui smiled and asked: "I don't know what you mean by 'Doushou' and 'gambling', can you explain?"

  "Because our Lou family is skilled in the art of beast taming, many people have come to our Lou family to learn this art or buy spiritual beasts from us. As a result, there are many cultivators with spiritual beasts in Tianhu City. These young masters who come to Xiangyang Island for pleasure like to compete with each other's spiritual beasts. Lou Jing has lost several beast fights to my Black Flame Tiger, so today he wants to regain his reputation. However, since my spiritual beast has fallen, I naturally cannot accept the challenge."

  Lou's face also showed a few shades of sadness as he mentioned his own spiritual beast, Xiao Hei.

  "As for this gambling fight, it's similar to beast fighting, a form of entertainment for the young masters of these aristocratic families. Generally, they would have their own retainers engage in combat, but sometimes they themselves would participate, betting on the outcome. The surrounding spectators could also add some side bets."

  Li Hui nodded, but in his heart he understood a little more.

  The auction below continued, but due to the incident of Lou Sui Feng and Lou Jing's gamble, the auction was somewhat deserted, without its usual excitement, and finally ended hastily.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you've all been eagerly awaiting the upcoming beast fight, as well as the wager between the two young masters. And now, I announce that the beast fight is about to begin! Which of our young masters will allow their spirit beast to take the stage first?" Yaoji's voice was full of charm, her slender waist swaying gently as she scanned the surroundings.

  "I'll go first!" Yet again, it was that languid voice that came out, and it was indeed Lou Jing.

  "Roar!"

  A deafening beast roar shook the entire hall, followed by a blue electric arc flashing from the private room where Lou Jing was located. The next moment, a huge ferocious beast appeared in mid-air and fell towards the high platform in the center of the hall.

  Yao Ji retreated to one side with a light step, but her face was full of shock and horror as she stared at the enormous creature that had suddenly appeared before her.

  On the platform, a monster with a height of about 3 meters and a length of 9 meters, with four claws and a single horn, its entire body covered in green fur, but its body was emitting crackling electrical arcs. Its head resembled that of a lion, but it had a single horn, and its two lantern-like giant eyes were purple pupils.

  "Violet Pupil!"

  The building swayed in the wind, but his face changed color.
