Chapter 278: The Ying Family Got Screwed

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Before Lu Yu came back to his senses, Ying Chao turned to glare at Zheng Xiaochuan, his eyes full of murderous intent.

In the face of Ying Chao’s furious stare, Zheng Xiaochuan met Ying Chao’s eyes straight on without fear.

Zheng Xiaochuan’s fearlessness infuriated Ying Chao very quickly. However, since they were now at the auction venue, even if Ying Chao wanted to create trouble for Zheng Xiaochuan, he had to take into account the Ying family’s reputation as one of the four great families.

Thus, Ying Chao could only grit his teeth, forcibly suppress the anger in his heart, and shouted loudly again.

“Hehe! Our friend Zheng is really courageous. Our Ying family bid 1.6 billion federal dollars!”

However, right after Ying Chao’s utterance, without waiting for Zheng Xiaochuan to open his mouth again, Zheng Dalong, who was sitting next to him, put away his phone and stood up slowly.

“Patriarch Ying, we have embarrassed ourselves before you. Our Zheng family offers 2 billion federal dollars!”

With these words from Zheng Dalong, Zheng Xiaochuan looked back at his Seventh Uncle with some disbelief.

“Seventh… Seventh Uncle?”

Before Zheng Xiaochuan could finish speaking, Zheng Dalong signaled to Zheng Xiaochuan with his eyes to keep quiet.

When Zheng Xiaochuan saw his signal, he had no choice but to shut his mouth obediently and sat down again quietly.

When Ying Chao heard the price stated by Zheng Dalong, his whole face turned ominous instantly.

“Our… Ying family will offer 2.2 billion federal dollars!”

After Ying Chao blurted out this price, his heart felt as if it was dripping blood.

The price of 2.2 billion was all the liquid assets that the Ying family could take out at the moment.

Finally, after seeing Ying Chao shout out this price, Zheng Dalong did not raise the bidding price again but simply cupped his hands at Ying Chao and said, “The Ying Family is indeed worthy of being one of the Four Great Families.

With this kind of boldness, our Zheng family concedes defeat!”

After saying that, Zheng Dalong sat down, while Ying Chao’s face became more and more gloomy.

All the guests watching this exchange could not help but cover their mouths and snickered.

Everyone present could see that Zheng Dalong was not really bidding for this eligibility slot to enter the Primal Chaos Secret Realm. He was only trying to trick and piss off the Ying family.

“2.2 billion going once. 2.2 billion going twice. 2.2 billion is to be the final bid price… Sold!”

“Congratulations to the Ying familv for being the successful bidder for the Eligibility Token To Primal Chaos Secret Realm!”

“All of our auction items have been auctioned off this time. Thank you all once again for coming. On behalf of our Southern Seas Hotel, I wish you all a prosperous and flourishing journey in the realm of Martial Arts!”

At the same time as Hu Qian sent someone to deliver the token to Ying Chao’s hand and watch him transfer the funds on the spot, she made her final announcement loudly to the crowd.

And so, the auction organized by the Southern Seas Hotel finally came to a

close.

The sullen Zheng Xiaochuan pouted his mouth as he walked beside Lu Yu. Under Zheng Dalong’s protection, he walked all the way out of the Southern Seas Hotel.

“Lu Yu, I’ll go back first. I’ll come back to look for you tomorrow when I’m done with the family matters!”

Before getting into the car, Zheng Xiaochuan bade Lu Yu farewell. Then, he turned around and got into the car.

Lu Yu stood by the road side and watched the car ferrying Zheng Xiaochuan cruise off.

After getting into his family’s car, Zheng Xiaochuan turned to ask Zheng Dalong somewhat impatiently, “Seventh Uncle, since we’ve already started bidding, why didn’t we simply take this slot to enter the Primal Chaos Secret Realm for ourselves?”

With Zheng Xiaochuan questioning him so openly, Zheng Dalong simply smiled faintly in response. He took out his phone from his coat rather gleefully and placed it in front of Zheng Xiaochuan.

“Have a look at this message your father sent me. You will then understand why I did what I did.”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiaochuan took the phone Zheng Dalong handed to him in bewilderment and began reading in earnest.

After reading the message his own father sent, Zheng Xiaochuan couldn’t hold back and began chuckling in an evil manner.

“Hahaha! Seventh Uncle, so you did it deliberately!”

“This is great. The Ying family will cry their eyes out this time. They are usually so arrogant and tyrannical. They really deserved it this time!”

At this point, there was not a single ounce of unhappiness in Zheng Xiaochuan anymore. He was grinning so widely from ear to ear that his mouth couldn’t close.

Seeing this, Zheng Dalong took his phone back from the hands of this fine eldest nephew of his.

“Alright. This news was also confirmed by the big shots at the top just a while ago. It’s good enough that you alone know it. Do not disclose it to others, got

Zheng Dalong reminded Zheng Xiaochuan with some uneasiness. He knew very well this fine eldest nephew of his had always had trouble controlling his big mouth.

“Got it, Seventh Uncle. You can rest assured. I guarantee that this matter will not spread!”

While he gave his promise to his uncle, at the same time Zheng Xiaochuan was already secretly sending out a text message to Lu Yu.

On the other end, Lu Yu, who had just returned home by cab, felt the vibration of his phone.

When he retrieved the phone, Lu Yu saw the message from Zheng Xiaochuan.

The message was very concise, containing only a few lines. However, the information it contained was very momentous.

“Lu Yu, you didn’t know that the higher-ups have decided to open the Primal Chaos Secret Realm to all cultivators at the War General level, right? This time, the Ying family is going to lose so much that they can’t even keep their pants on!”

When he read these few short lines, Lu Yu also could not contain himself any longer. Pfft! He burst out laughing.

“Ying family, Ying family. You have been screwed big time by the Zheng family this time!”

After laughing gleefully for a while, Lu Yu put away his phone, closed his eyes and began meditating quietly while sitting cross-legged.

Meanwhile, inside the Ying family’s residence, Ying Chao, who was holding the token representing the eligibility to enter the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, had just returned to his study.

However, before he had time to catch his breath, there was the sound of urgent knocking on the door.

“Who is it? Get your ass in here!”

Ying Chao, who was already in a foul mood, was even more annoyed when he heard the knocking on the door.

After getting Ying Chao’s consent, the person outside the door pushed open the door and hurriedly walked in.

“Patriarch, Patriarch! Bad news! We heard some really bad news!”

The person who showed up was none other than Ying Wei, the Ying family’s Great Elder!

Looking at Ying Wei, who looked so flustered, Ying Chao couldn’t help but frown at him. Barely able to suppress his impatience, he asked the other party,

“What the heck happened? Why are you so flustered?”

Faced with Ying Chao’s inquiry, Ying Wei began stammering in his reply.

“Patriarch, we received news from above. From now on, the Primal Chaos

Secret Realm will be open to all cultivators at the War General level! ”

As soon as Ying Wei said this, the token that Ying Chao was holding tightly in his hand fell to the ground with a loud crash. Everything turned black before his eyes and he felt a wave of dizziness sweeping over him.

Immediately afterwards, Ying Chao’s entire body roared in fury. “Damned

Zheng family! Our Ying family will remember this!”

After roaring furiously, Ying Chao’s heart became overwhelmed by a gush of blood and he toppled over in a dead faint!

“Patriarch! Patriarch!”

“Someone, come quickly! Come quickly! Summon the family doctor at once.

The Patriarch has passed out!”

Looking at the fallen Ying Chao, Ying Wei turned and ran out of the study anxiously, shouting loudly..
