Chapter 2500 The Tough Li Yan
Chapter 2500 The Tough Li Yan
With everyone chiming in, the value of the little fox quickly rose to 1,500 crystals.
But that wasn't the end of it; everyone was still enthusiastically adding up the bids, making the scene very lively.
Seeing the despair on the little fox's face, Qin Fei knew that she must be going through everything that Zhen Tian had just gone through.
If she falls into someone else's hands, the world will surely turn dark.
Thinking of this, Qin Fei subconsciously looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan seemed to have sensed the meaning in Qin Fei's eyes, and then glanced at the stage again.
"Leave it to me!" Li Yan whispered to Qin Fei.
If Qin Fei participates in the auction now, Liu Wen might just step in and sabotage it again. So why is he even showing up?
The auction can be left to Li Yan's people.
By doing this, they can not only spend less crystals, but also rescue the little fox.
Although the Blackwater Gate is only a second-rate force, their ability to capture people is really impressive. They managed to capture two people he knew. It's a pity that now is not the time to talk to Zhen Tian about how he was captured, otherwise Qin Fei would really like to have a good chat with him.
The bidding went through round after round, with fewer and fewer people bidding, and the corresponding bid price reached three thousand crystals.
After Li Yan's introduction, Qin Fei discovered that the person who had just offered three thousand crystal stones was the one he had secretly arranged.
Seeing this, Qin Fei didn't say anything, but he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although he and the little fox didn't have a close relationship, he wouldn't just watch the fox walk into the lion's den.
In the end, the little fox was purchased by someone sent by Li Yan for four thousand crystal stones. The whole process was very smooth, and probably no one would have associated this auction with Qin Fei and Li Yan.
All the items auctioned at Blackwater Gate were slaves. After bidding on two people, Qin Fei lost interest in continuing the auction and decided to go back and have a good talk with Zhen Tian.
After all, they hadn't seen each other for so long, and there were many things Qin Fei wanted to ask Zhen Tian.
However, when Li Yan learned that Qin Fei was going to leave early, he stopped him.
“I spent hundreds of thousands of crystals to help you buy people before. If we don’t get these things back, I’m afraid I won’t be able to explain it to the upper echelons of the Li family,” Li Yan said in a low voice.
"Take it back?" Qin Fei was taken aback upon hearing this, then asked in a low voice, "The Blackwater Sect is a sect with considerable strength, will they return it?"
"Heh... well, that's not up to them!"
Li Yan gave a soft, cold laugh, then closed his eyes.
Crystals are indeed valuable; every faction needs them, and everyone needs them.
He had previously used such a huge amount of crystals to help Qin Fei purchase Zhen Tian, but now that Zhen Tian had returned to their side, he naturally wanted to get back the crystals he had previously paid.
Ultimately, this is a world where might makes right. Li Yan wouldn't care about the Blackwater Gate's normal auction proceeds, but the key question is whether their hundreds of thousands of crystals were obtained through normal means this time.
That's obviously not the case!
Since that's the case, Li Yan naturally had to go and get his things back.
If Blackwater Gate doesn't give it to him, he wouldn't mind wiping them out completely.
Between living and dying, he believed that the Blackwater Men should know what to choose.
As the successor of a top-tier power, he certainly has the confidence to back it up.
"In the end, it all comes down to strength."
Previously, he, Li Yan, and Liu Wen had indeed put on a good show for everyone, but now that the show has ended, it's time to lift the curtain.
Since Blackwater Gate has obtained such a large sum of ill-gotten gains, will Li Yan allow them to take the crystals away?
About half an hour later, the auction officially ended. A total of nearly forty slaves were sold at the auction, but the combined price of the last thirty-odd slaves was not even as much as that of Zhen Tian alone.
The difference is even quite significant.
"Let's go, it's time to get some exercise."
As everyone gradually left, Li Yan stood up and stretched his limbs slightly.
"go!"
Li Yan personally invited him to stay, and now that he's going to Blackwater Gate to collect debts, Qin Fei will definitely follow.
Regardless of whether he can provide any real help, at least he should be present, even if it's just to cheer him on.
After all, Li Yan spent so many crystals ultimately for his own benefit.
As the crowd dispersed, Li Yan soon led Qin Fei and his protectors to meet the highest-ranking official of the Blackwater Gate in the city.
"Young Master Li's presence truly brings honor to our humble abode," the Blackwater Gate official said, immediately launching into a flattering remark.
Unfortunately, Li Yan had a clear purpose and was not about to fall for this. He waved his hand and said, "No need for so much nonsense. I think you all know why I'm here. Keep 10,000 crystals and return the rest to me."
"Young Master Li, business is all about mutual consent. You agreed to this price in front of everyone here, you..."
The Blackwater Gate members were definitely unwilling to return the crystals, after all, so many crystals represented a significant portion of their revenue over a long period of time; it was like a windfall.
Moreover, no one would easily spit out the fatty meat they've eaten.
Unfortunately, Li Yan wasn't going to listen to their nonsense. He made his stance clear: "You know what happened back then, so it's already a huge favor that I let you leave behind 10,000 crystals. Don't be ungrateful!"
"Young Master Li, our Blackwater Gate has never set such a precedent before." The person in charge was clearly also uncomfortable with Li Yan's attitude. If he could, he wouldn't want to talk to Li Yan at all right now.
"I don't care if you have any precedents. I'm just asking you one question now: are you going to return the crystal or not?"
Li Yan seemed to have lost his temper and directly threatened the other party.
He considered Blackwater Sect a second-rate force, not even worth his attention. If they were sensible, he might let them leave behind 10,000 crystals, but if they were incompetent, he didn't recommend taking back all the crystals he had paid.
"boom!"
Almost as soon as Li Yan finished speaking, his protector finally revealed his aura. The implication was clear: if the Blackwater Gate did not cooperate, they would likely face an attack from a super strong expert.
"Retreat! We're retreating!"
In this world where might makes right, the person in charge of Blackwater Gate must have felt incredibly aggrieved. He had just earned some crystals, but the other party wanted to take them back right away.
That's not how you do business.
Unfortunately, the Blackwater Sect couldn't muster any strong enough individuals to directly confront Li Yan's protectors, so even if he was forced to suffer, he had no choice but to swallow his pride.
As you can see, when the crystal was taken out, the Blackwater Gate leader even had tears welling up in his eyes.
So many crystals, they're practically going to kill him!
"At least you guys are sensible."
After retrieving his own crystal, Li Yan put it away and then said, "From now on, I will continue to support your Blackwater Sect's business and try to help you earn more."
"hehe……."
Upon hearing this, all the Blackwater Sect disciples revealed smiles that were more like cries.
You forcefully took back the crystals you just earned. If Blackwater Gate continues to rely on people like Li Yan to make money, they'll probably all end up kneeling and starving.
"let's go."
After getting his crystal back, Li Yan was in a great mood. He had originally thought that getting the crystal back would not be so easy and that a conflict might break out.
He had even prepared his protectors to take action, but he didn't expect the Blackwater Sect members to be so cowardly and simply return the crystals.
This saves most of the trouble.
"Young master, I've brought the person."
Just as they were asking for the crystal, the person who had previously bid for the little fox finally emerged from the shadows, leading the little fox to appear before Qin Fei and the others.
"It's you!?"
Upon seeing Qin Fei, the little fox showed a look of surprise.
"Aren't you surprised to see it's me?" Qin Fei asked.
"You saved me?"
The little fox's scrutinizing gaze landed directly on Qin Fei.
"I think that apart from me taking the initiative to save you, you probably can't count on anyone else at this whole scene. Tell me, how did you get captured by them?" Qin Fei asked.
"How would I know that? They sealed my cultivation as soon as they appeared, so I couldn't even run away."
The little fox said angrily, "And these people are so mean! They even hit me!"
At this point, a pitiful look appeared on her face: "I thought I wouldn't escape this calamity this time."
"You're lucky to have met me, but who knows if you'll have that kind of luck again? So you'd better be careful, or something like this could happen again at any time."
"You mean I'm going to have to leave alone again now?"
The little fox seemed to understand the meaning behind Qin Fei's words and quickly asked.
"Why not?"
Qin Fei shrugged: "I can barely take care of myself right now, so I'm afraid I can't protect you. You'd better find a safe place to stay."
Speaking of this, Qin Fei suddenly thought of Zuixianlou. This restaurant had long been rebuilt, and its manager was an honest man who truly went out of his way to protect the guests in the restaurant.
If the little fox can stay in this restaurant, her safety will definitely be guaranteed.
"Why don't you go stay at Zuixianlou? It's relatively safe there." Qin Fei immediately voiced his thoughts: "Besides, it's very close to the teleportation array, so you can wait for your family elders to come over."
"But...but I don't have any crystals," the little fox said somewhat awkwardly.
Qin Fei: "......"
