Chapter 140 Ning Fengzhi’s thoughts, the auction begins

After speaking, Ghost Douluo didn't forget to turn his head to look at Ning Fengzhi, "What does Sect Master Ning think?"

"This child, Ah Man, is indeed good." Ning Fengzhi nodded and commented with a warm smile, but inwardly, he was filled with a chill.

But it wasn't because Lin Manshan kept the favour of the Spirit Hall's branch hall in mind and had deep friendships with the people there.

In fact, with Dugu Bo, the old fox, and the connections of the Ye and Shui families in place, Lin Manshan wouldn't easily turn to the Martial Spirit Hall no matter what.

With the terrifying ability to sneak attack and eliminate the living forces of any power on the continent, for Dugu Bo, remaining neutral would undoubtedly be the optimal choice.

Because, once he chose to align himself with a certain side, the rest of the forces would inevitably group together to surround and kill Dugu Bo to avoid the death threat of Dugu Bo's poison falling on their own heads one day. Everyone knew how to choose between the death of a few high-end combatants and the death of the whole family.

Even if the strength is strong enough, once you encounter a few Titled Douluo participating in a siege, it will be extremely difficult for Dugu Bo to escape, and the people around him will face a fatal threat as well.

While, being neutral means that whoever messes with Dugu Bo is actively pushing Dugu Bo into a hostile force. In addition, the Skywalker Academy was built in the Heaven Dou Empire, and people who were close to Dugu Bo all lived there. This will undoubtedly let, especially the Heaven Dou Imperial Family think that they have the innate advantage of pulling Dugu Bo closer, under the entanglement of many parties, it will be difficult for all the major forces to make up their minds to take great risks to surround and kill him in a group.

People's hearts were unpredictable, and the wall built by suspicion would become the biggest obstacle for the forces to unite.

Under such circumstances, making friends with Dugu Bo would undoubtedly become the first choice of all the forces.

Dugu Bo had naturally thought of this, which was why he had said that he didn't want to be an enemy of anyone in the square earlier. As long as they didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, Skywalker Academy would be the object of friendship and training for all the forces. At the same time, all the forces would also take the initiative to avoid conflicts.

After all, if one was unreasonable and caused Dugu Bo to make a move, rationally, outsiders couldn't say anything.

Therefore, he hadn't worried about Dugu Bo going into the arms of the Martial Spirit Hall since the beginning. What really made him uneasy was Tang San's indifferent response to Su Yuntao.

Tang San and Lin Manshan grew up in the same village and entered the same Primary Spirit Master Academy, and Ghost Douluo's previous words undoubtedly mapping the two. Lin Manshan knew how to repay, while Tang San was indifferent, seeing Su Yuntao, the person who had helped him awaken his martial soul and hand out the subsidies back in the day he hadn't even nodded his head, and moreover, it was still Su Yuntao who had taken the initiative to greet him.

This was already more than just being unkind, in public, refusing to even make a gesture, this was not even knowing the basic principles of how to deal with people in the world. Age is not small. Look at Lin Manshan, who was born a commoner and grew up alone, at least this point was done excellently.

In contrast, Tang San... was a person with such a heart, even if he had superior talent, is he really worth befriending and investing in?

In addition, Tang San's master was still Yu Xiaogang.

In order to test and prove his theory, Yu Xiaogang as an elder even coaxed a six-year-old child to absorb the incorrect spirit ring and also urged the dean to let him withdraw from the academy because of a small matter, such a small heart. Tang San was deeply influenced by his teaching for many years, would he not be affected?

His righteous sister Xiao Wu is also unruly and capricious, talking unrestrainedly to everyone, which seems to be the result of excessive spoiling. Perhaps Tang San was negligent in teaching the basic principles of the world, which can also be seen clearly...

Thinking back to the investigation conducted by his own people regarding the battle in Suotuo City's Great Spirit Arena, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in the bottom of his heart, impulsive and easy to get angry, his mouth was unrestrained, and his killing heart was overly heavy. This was his evaluation of Tang San's performance in that battle.

Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai in the battle team, were so lustful that they didn't know how to exercise restraint, and he worried that their cultivation would be affected by it. With such a mindset, what high achievements could they possibly reach in the future?

As the saying goes, if you're close to Vermilion, you're red, and if you're close to Ink, you're black, is it really safe to leave Rongrong in a team like this?

Thinking back to Tang Yuehua's perfunctory treatment to him, an ally, in the matter of the Immortal Herb, Ning Fengzhi had even more of a headache.

But on Lin Manshan's side, he was full of beautiful women, and he was also Dugu Bo's grandson-in-law, so he would definitely not be joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Moreover, Dugu Bo had already publicly announced the neutral status of Skywalker Academy before, and would never let the academy get involved with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.

Therefore, wanting Rongrong to get a boost with the help of Lin Manshan's unique medical skills to aid in her cultivation was simply not possible.

It could only be bought by spending money at present.

After a glance at Tang San and Lin Manshan, his eyes couldn't help but flicker up, and after a few breaths, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Hey, let's maintain wait-and-see for now

Tang San, after all, has a twin martial soul, still a son of Tang Hao, and can't be killed, so he can only be befriended. 

Lin Manshan is backed by Dugu Bo, as long as you can't kill Dugu Bo, you can't make a move either, so you can only make friends.

The key is that these two people still have a grudge, so it's a headache. In the end, he looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was sitting at the end of the hall. Ning Fengzhi felt a blockage in his heart, 'You are a man of dozens of years old, and you were still trying to cheat a child, are you sick in the head?' Lin Manshan and Tang San came from the same village, went to the same academy and lived in the same dormitory, if it wasn't for Yu Xiaogang getting in the way, in his opinion, they might even have become good friends.

In this way, when the two came to Heaven Dou City, although Tang San couldn't be possible, but Lin Manshan might have become his son-in-law.

At that time he would have helped to solve the poison on Dugu Bo's body, then he would have been recruited into the clan, and wouldn't that be a direct take-off?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, retracting his gaze, his face remained amiable, and he picked up the wine in front of the table and lightly drank a mouthful.

On the other hand.

Shrek Academy crowd, in addition to Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai and Liu Erlong, most of them flushed red.

Receiving monthly subsidies and never remembering the kindness, wasn't it about them? In the past, they really didn't think there was anything wrong with it, someone was giving away money for free, why not accept it?

But at this moment, when Ghost Douluo took it out and compared it with Lin Manshan, they immediately had the feeling of being scolded as scum.

If I had known, I would have only brought Erlong here. Flender glanced at the strange gazes around him, and was inwardly depressed, some time ago, Liu Erlong had already ceded the position of dean to him, and he had already changed the name of the Blue Tyrant Academy to Shrek Academy. A matter such as the establishment of an academy by Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, their academy would definitely have to give some respect and come to observe the ceremony. The reason he decided to bring the students along was that he wanted to let everyone gain some insight, who would have thought that Ghost Douluo would drag this over their heads.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the eyes that glanced over already said everything. All the people present here are spirit masters, and they are not blind.

It seems that the Martial Spirit Hall has investigated Lin Manshan, and incidentally checked on us who fought with him last time, including Xiao San who is in the same village as Lin Manshan. There's also Xiaogang, who should already be known by that woman as well. However, Xiao San's identity shouldn't have been exposed yet, otherwise, Ghost Douluo would have grabbed him long ago. In addition, not many people in Heaven Dou City know us now. With an internal consolation, he lowered his head and drank his wine.

On such an occasion, in addition to the first few big brothers who could speak freely, the rest of the crowd did not dare to discuss loudly, they could only talk in a low voice, chatting leisurely to pass the time.

In a few moments, after seeing that all the people were already seated, Shui Zilu pressed the bell in the upper left corner of the tabletop.

Ding ding ding, after a few ringing, a group of elegantly dressed ladies entered the round stage, the zither master clicked the strings as the ladies sang and danced. The pleasant singing, paired with the seductive curves and delicate dancing of the girls, instantly captured the eyes of everyone present.

"Gulp gulp."

Ma Hongjun directly looked with blank eyes and swallowed loudly. "Hiss." Then he felt a pain in his waist, and when he turned his head to look, he was met by Flender's furious eyes. His neck subconsciously shrunk, forced to hold back the fire of desire in his heart, and sat upright.

Drinking a sip of wine, and tasting fruits, greens and snacks, the programmes were carried out one by one, and time passed little by little.

After an unknown amount of time, no one else came from behind the curtain beside the round stage. A few more chimes rang out, and a group of women in maid costumes came out of the side door, carrying various dishes in their hands, and entered in order. When all the dishes were served, Dugu Bo and Xue Qinghe, who were sitting in the first seat, delivered their speeches in order. Afterwards, Dugu Bo announced the start of the dinner, and only then did everyone start eating with chopsticks and savouring the delicacies.

After about half an hour had passed, seeing that everyone had finished eating, the bell rang once again, and the welcoming girls entered once again, leading everyone upstairs into the main hall. Moreover, a small wooden plaque was handed out to each of the top echelons of each force.

Walking into the hall, there was a full red carpet, surrounded by various tables and platforms, on which drinks, and pieces of fresh fruit were placed. There should be all kinds of fruits. There was a five-metre wide circular platform in the centre, with a square table and a small wooden hammer on it.

When all the people entered, Dugu Bo stomped up to the round platform, very casually took out the book from the spirit tool and put it on the table, picking up the small wooden hammer and lightly knocking on the table.

"No more nonsense, let's start the auction for the book that contains rare and exotic herbs. The reserve price is five million gold soul coins, each bid shall not be less than one hundred thousand."

"Come on, who wants to buy, hurry up!"

"It's fine to settle with ten-thousand-year-old spirit bones that don't clash with the attributes of mine and the children's, there's a shortage of them on my side!"

"."

You're so direct. The crowd felt that they had never seen such a rough auction before and were inwardly speechless.

A reserve price of five million gold soul coins was not something that just any force could casually shell out. The key, the ten-thousand-year-old spirit bone was not considered at all, damn it, it was too outrageous.

Then again, a single Immortal Herb could create a Titled Douluo. Moreover, this knowledge can be passed down. Just like what Dugu Bo said, what if? If you can't find it in this generation, you can still find it in the next. What if you happen to come across it? Maybe this will lead to the rise of the family.

It's indeed worth the price!

But they can't afford the price, and they can't keep it, so they can't help but look at the bigwigs at the forefront of the room and quietly waiting to eat their melons.
