Hearing Du Jie's words, the young man became even more delighted.
"Qingyue Sword, I've finally found you!"
At this moment, he was overjoyed.
As the Second Prince of the Beiming Empire, Ming Yu understood very well that his imperial father had many sons, all coveting the throne.
His mother's humble origins meant he wasn't granted much glory.
He had fought his way up step by step, meticulously and carefully, but still lagged behind some of his brothers.
Obtaining the Qingyue Sword this time would fulfill one of his imperial father's long-cherished wishes, and thus he would also be greatly rewarded!
At this moment, someone exclaimed in surprise.
"This is... the Qingyue Sword!"
An old man with white hair immediately shouted, "The imperial family of the Beiming Empire has offered tens of millions of imperial gold to whoever finds the Qingyue Sword!"
The Qingyue Sword!
After he finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.
The Qingyue Sword was extremely famous in the Beiming Empire.
For no other reason than that the imperial family of the Beiming Empire had long ago offered a reward of ten million imperial gold to whoever found this sword.
Ten million imperial gold could be considered a mid-tier wealthy family in the Imperial Capital!
And most importantly, ten million imperial gold could buy a second-grade spirit artifact.
But the imperial family of the Beiming Empire seemed not to care about this matter.
This left many people bewildered!
But it seemed that many people still cared a great deal.
Immediately, everyone's gaze towards the sword became incredibly fervent.
This sword was worth ten million imperial gold!
At this moment, Wang Zhenyu's face turned pale.
This sword actually concealed a profound mystery.
But Qin Ning was only at the first level of the Spirit Sea realm, how could he have seen this mystery?
Who didn't know it was a top-grade spirit artifact?
Qin Ning ignored everyone's surprised gazes and said, "Wang Zhenyu, the contract has been signed, give me one million imperial gold?"
Wang Zhenyu wanted to escape but couldn't.
But that one million imperial gold, even if he was from the Wang family, would be difficult to produce immediately.
"I will pay you within seven days!"
Wang Zhenyu snorted, his face slightly ashen.
"Alright!"
Qin Ning said indifferently, "Sheng Xinyue, open an account for me at the Shengdan Pavilion. Then tell Young Master Wang to transfer the money into that account!"
After Qin Ning finished speaking, he turned and left.
"Young Master Qin, please stop!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
The crowd parted, and a figure walked onto the auction stage.
It was the young man from the private room.
The Second Prince, Ming Yu!
Seeing this person, Sheng Xinyue and the others were also extremely surprised.
"Your Royal Highness, Second Prince!"
Sheng Xinyue and Wang Zhenyu respectfully bowed.
Qin Ning turned around and looked at the young man in front of him. This person was around twenty years old, with a calm smile, and a hint of ethereal detachment between his eyebrows.
But it also couldn't hide a slight sadness.
"Is there something you need?"
Qin Ning asked indifferently.
Hearing this, Sheng Xinyue couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This Master Qin... truly didn't care about anyone.
But it made sense; only Qin Ning would dare to directly beat the Sixth Prince, Ming Che, in the Shengjue Wine House. So how could he treat this Second Prince specially?
It was likely that even if the Emperor of the Beiming Empire arrived, Qin Ning would still maintain that lazy demeanor?
"Young Master Qin, I, Ming Yu, obtained this sword thanks to your grace. Thank you for helping my Beiming Empire recover a treasure!"
As soon as Ming Yu finished speaking, the people who had been tempted quieted down.
It turned out that the sixth guest was none other than Ming Yu!
Ten million taels of silver would make many people risk everything to snatch it, but to snatch it from the hands of this Second Prince was like poking a hornet's nest.
Ming Yu continued, "I wonder if Young Master Qin has time to have a cup of tea with me!"
Upon hearing this, many talented young men's eyes turned red with envy.
The Northern Ming Empire had countless powerful great clans, such as the Ye, Wang, Qin, and Guo families...
But compared to the imperial family, even if these clans united, they could not stand against it.
Even descendants of the Wang family, like Wang Zhenyu, wished to cling to the coattails of some prince and live a life of freedom.
Now, this Second Prince had personally appeared to invite Qin Ning.
This was truly a godsend, and many martial artists in the auction house were incredibly excited.
"Uh, but I really don't have time!"
Qin Ning replied, "I have some urgent matters to attend to right now. Let's do it later!"
After Qin Ning finished speaking, he turned to leave.
Huh?
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned!
No time? Urgent matters?
Is this guy... out of his mind?
This was an invitation from the Second Prince.
Yet he said he wasn't free... that he had urgent matters...
In reality, Qin Ning truly did have urgent matters.
There was the matter of Holy Heart Rui's father's competition, then Ye Yuan Yuan's arrival here was probably for her mother, and also the injury of his eldest brother, Qin Shan...
As for the invitation from an unfamiliar Second Prince, Ming Yu.
In his eyes, this was merely a distant descendant from 18 generations ago of his own disciple's disciple. He truly had no interest in having tea with this person...
"Stop!"
Commander Du Jie, standing beside Ming Yu, snorted coldly, "The Second Prince personally invited you, do you think you can just refuse?"
"Don't be rude!"
Ming Yu said, "Young Master Qin is a genius, how can you be so disrespectful?"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Du Jie assumed a stance and retreated to Ming Yu's side.
Ming Yu looked at Qin Ning and said again, "Young Master Qin, this sword is indeed priceless. If I bought it for two million gold, it would be taking advantage of you. I have no other intentions, I just want to thank Young Master Qin!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ning stopped.
He turned back and looked at Ming Yu.
Then he said indifferently, "You can stop playing games, there's no need to talk like that. I already said, I'm not free, which means I'm not free, understand?"
"Don't let your future actions completely erase the little goodwill I have for you!"
After Qin Ning finished speaking, he slowly walked away.
The entire auction house fell silent.
This Qin Ning... is truly crazy!
To speak like that to the Second Prince, there were probably very few people left in the Imperial Capital who would dare.
At this moment, Ye Yuan Yuan had followed Qin Ning and left.
She was now completely convinced by Qin Ning.
Ye Yuan Yuan was originally a gifted prodigy. These past few days, she had recalled every scene from when she met Qin Ning.
Finally, she summarized it into four words!
Unfathomably profound!
This was the feeling Qin Ning gave her!
