Chapter 877: lt Wasn’t Robbery

After arriving at the House of Riches, Yuan and his group walked into the building to find out that there was an ongoing auction.

“Welcome, how may I—” The man at the counter suddenly stopped talking.

“I-It’s you! Please wait for a moment, Esteemed Guests! I will immediately notify Senior Gu of your arrival!”

The man immediately rushed upstairs. Ever since his last encounter with Yuan and Feng Yuxiang, the man had engraved their faces into his mind, fearing that he might offend them again.

Gu Xiulan could be seen rushing downstairs a few moments later.

“Welcome back, Esteemed Guests! I have been anticipating your arrival!” She said to them with a bright smile on her face. Clearly, she had some good news.

Once they were inside the VIP room, Feng Yuxiang said, “So? Did you find any information on the Pill of Truth? Judging by your demeanor, you found something, right?”

“Yes. While I have to announce with regret that the Pill of Truth doesn’t exist in this world, I have been told by a reliable source that someone in the Third Heaven has one.”

And she continued, “His name is Jin Sang, and he’s a renowned Tier 5 Alchemy Master at the Spirit Grass Mountain.”

“Thank you for the information, but if you want the Spirit Jade, you’ll need to give me some concrete proof. I can’t just accept your words so quickly. What if I give you the Spirit Jade and it turns out the information is wrong? That would be foolish of me.” Feng Yuxiang said.

“I-I assure you that this information is very trustworthy! Although I cannot give you any information about my sources, I am willing to put the House of Riches’ name and reputation on my words!”

Feng Yuxiang silently stared at Gu Xiulan for a moment before turning to look at Yuan, “What do you think, Young Master? Should we trust her information?”

“I don’t see why we shouldn’t. They’re a reputable name, right? And we’re the ones who asked them for help. I think it would be rude of us to not trust them after all that.”

“If the Young Master trusts them, I will also trust them.”

“Here.”

Feng Yuxiang took out the Spirit Jade from her spatial ring and tossed it at Gu Xiulan, treating it as though it was only a piece of candy.

Gu Xiulan’s heart skipped a beat when she saw this, and she hastily caught the Spirit Jade, sighing in relief afterward.

“Even though you don’t really deserve this Spirit Jade because I told you to find the Pill of Truth, and you only found information about it, I am feeling generous today.” Feng Yuxiang said.

“T-Thank you, Esteemed Guest!”

Although the House of Riches is incredibly wealthy and 100 million spirit stones isn’t much to them, it doesn’t mean Gu Xiulan owns its wealth, as she is only a manager of this auction house. However, since this is a private deal between Feng Yuxiang and Gu Xiulan, she would be able to pocket all of the money to herself after paying the people she asked for help.

“Shall we go now, Young Master?” Feng Yuxiang asked him.

“Yes, let’s—”

“P-Please wait!” Gu Xiulan suddenly stopped them.

“What do you want?” Feng Yuxiang asked.

“I know I shouldn’t stick my nose into your business, and I have no intention to, but I have some additional information for you. Of course, this is on the house and you don’t need to pay me for it.”

Feng Yuxiang narrowed her eyes and said, “So you withheld information about the Pill of Truth from us?”

“N-No! That’s not it! This is a completely different matter!” She immediately refuted such claims.

“In case you don’t already know about my background, I am actually from the Seven Legacy Families— the Gu Family. According to what I’ve been told, the Gu Family from the Lower Heavens had been robbed by someone named ‘Yuan’.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Yuan remained calm even after hearing such information.

“How did you know I was ‘Yuan’? I don’t remember giving you my name.”

Feng Yuxiang narrowed her eyes at Gu Xiulan, who swallowed nervously.

‘If I answer wrongly, I will be killed!’ She cried inwardly.

“T-That’s because the Gu Family from the Lower Heavens also gave us descriptions of you. I noticed it at first during our first encounter, but I didn’t think it was you at that time. After the Flood Dragon’s Scale auction, Senior Nie told me your name, and that’s when I realized it.”

“Senior Nie? Oh, right. He was there as well.” Yuan remembered seeing Senior Nie after the auction.

“And you haven’t told the Gu Family about us? Why not?” Feng Yuxiang suddenly asked.

“Honestly, I don’t want to help those idiots from the Lower Heavens. I don’t know why you decided to rob them when you can easily hand out 100 million spirit stones without any hesitation, but that’s none of my business. They probably even deserved it.”

“I see… And how is their search going?” Feng Yuxiang then asked.

“They’re still looking. It’s not easy looking for people based on just their names and description, especially if they’re not natives of this world, after all. In fact, it would be easier to find a needle in a haystack the size of a mountain.”

“Thank you for this information, but I must clear up something. We didn’t rob them.” Yuan said.

“Huh? You didn’t? So they lied?” Gu Xiulan was left speechless by this information.

“It was a donation. They donated their treasures to me after I punished them a little for trying to take my friend by force. That’s all there is to it.” Yuan said with a smile.

“I-I see… In that case, they definitely deserved it. I apologize for sticking my nose into your business. Once again, thank you for the Spirit Jade and trusting me. I hope to do business again with you in the future.” Gu Xiulan bowed to them.

Yuan and Feng Yuxiang left the House of Riches shortly after, returning to the hotel.
