“Big brother, calm down. We’ve already sent someone to investigate the matter with Feiding. Well have news soon.”
Tu Family’s second eldest looked at his furious elder brother and quickly comforted him.
“Calm down?! My son is dead! How can 1 calm down!!!” Eldest Tu angrily exclaimed, “We’ve always been the ones bullying others! When did it become others bullying us!
“I even spent a huge sum of money to get Little Wu blessed by the Dao of Heaven. 1 never expected that he would encounter trouble even after having a chance to be resurrected. I want to know who dares to do this to our Tu Family!”
Eldest Tu slapped the tea table beside him, shattering it instantly, and the whole hall fell silent. No one dared to say anything further.
“Master!” Just then, a man rushed into the main hall.
Eldest Tu quickly went up to him and supported the man, asking, “How is it? Have you found out who killed Feiding?”
When the person heard this, he trembled slightly and cautiously shook his head, saying, “We haven’t found out yet…”
“Useless!” Eldest Tu slapped the man’s face, almost depleting the man’s health bar.
Suppressing his anger, he said, “Speak up! What do you want from me?”
“Reporting to the Master… someone has auctioned a set of Level 15 orange-tier equipment on the auction system,” the man said, nursing his painful face, but still respectfully explaining the situation.
Hearing this, Eldest Tu was taken aback, and his anger subsided a little. “Level 15? Orange-tier equipment? Is it true?”
“Yes, it’s true,” the man nodded repeatedly. He wouldn’t dare to lie about something like this.
Ever since the Tu Family learned that the War God wanted to observe the college entrance exam, they had been searching for low-level high-grade equipment.
In a sense, it was even more challenging to find low-level orange-grade equipment than high-level ones.
Before reaching the first transformation, the progress was too quick, and no matter how powerful the equipment was, it would soon become obsolete. There was no need to create top-tier equipment; what was sufficient would do.
However, as the level increased, each level-up required a massive amount of time. Sometimes, they needed to participate in high-difficulty activities and competitions, making the quality of equipment even more crucial.
“What kind of set is it? Can you see the name and attributes?” Eldest Tu asked after a moment of silence.
The man continued, “I can’t see its attributes for the time being. It has a name, the Ant King Set.”
“Ant King? Armor-type set…” Eldest Tu pondered for a moment before asking his second and third brothers beside him, “Does your little one in the family have a Warrior job?”
Third Tu quickly said, “Yes! My youngest son is a Heavy Armor Warrior!”
“Buy it, no matter how much they’re asking for, buy it!” Eldest Tu decided without hesitation, “This time, our Tu Family must establish a connection with the War God.”
The man on the side hesitated for a moment and asked, “Their request is to trade items…”
“Trade? What do they want?” Eldest Tu frowned, somewhat puzzled.
“Everything else is fine, but they specifically want the Illusory Stone and the Dark Gold Mother Stone…”
Hearing this, Eldest Tu’s expression froze upon hearing this. “Illusory Stone?”
Indeed, the Tu Family had it. He had kept it with him all along.
The Illusory Stone was an orange-tier item, quite rare, but it didn’t serve a significant purpose.
Besides being used for crafting equipment, its only function was to allow the user to teleport to a random location. If someone encountered a life-threatening situation, perhaps they could use it to escape.
However, the range of this random teleportation was immensely vast, covering almost the entire world.
Some people had used the Illusory Stone and ended up being teleported to the polar region, nearly freezing to death there.
As for the Dark Gold Mother Stone, it was simply a mineral used exclusively for crafting equipment.
“Alright, I understand. You can go now.” Eldest Tu waved his hand and then opened the auction system, conducting a quick search.
Soon enough, the Ant King set appeared before him.
“Other materials are easy to come by, but two Illusory Stones and two Dark Gold Mother Stones… it seems like they want to craft equipment.” Eldest Tu stroked his chin and looked at the auctioneer. “Jiang Shan…”
“Someone from the Jiang Family? Third brother, check who this guy is.”
Third Tu nodded in response and quickly started the investigation.
In a short while, Third Tu looked up and said, “Eldest brother, he is the deputy city lord of Yicheng Base City, and also the second-in-command of the Jiang Family.”
“The Jiang Family’s second-in-command…” Tu Family’s eldest brother pondered for a moment and then directly initiated a communication with Jiang Shan.
“Hello, I’m the head of the Tu family, Tu Fei. Are you Jiang Shan?” Tu Fei cleared his throat and asked calmly.
On the other end, Jiang Shan was stunned upon hearing this name. His first reaction was that Tu Fei had come to demand an explanation.
After all, Tu Fei’s son had died in their territory not long ago. Although he couldn’t detect any emotional fluctuations from Tu Fei’s voice right now, it was still uncertain!
“Hello, may I ask why you’re looking for me?” Jiang Shan’s expression changed slightly as he asked carefully.
“The Ant King set auctioned at the auction house, was it posted by you?” Tu Fei, listening to Jiang Shan’s respectful tone, smiled with satisfaction, “The college entrance exam is about to begin. Doesn’t Deputy City Lord Jiang have any promising juniors? Why would you auction such a rare set?”
Upon hearing Tu Fei’s voice, Jiang Shan was also taken aback. Did it seem like this person came solely for the Ant King set?
It seemed that the Tu Family was not yet fully aware of what happened to Tu Feiding.
“I need to craft something, and there are some materials I can’t obtain. So, I can only put this set up for auction. As for promising juniors, 1 haven’t even gotten married yet, so where would the juniors come from?” Jiang Shan skillfully tried to mislead.
Tu Fei nodded slightly and said, “I see. However, this set is only Level 15. Isn’t it a bit expensive for you to ask for two Illusory Stones and two Dark Gold Mother Stones?”
“So, you’ve come to bargain, huh? 1 don’t think the price is high.” Jiang Shan didn’t hesitate and said directly, “After all, there are only two months left until the college entrance exam. You also want the younger generation of your family to catch the eye of the War God, right?”
H H
“One fixed price. If you can’t accept it, just forget it. If you don’t buy it, someone else will,” Jiang Shan said with a smile, “Isn’t that right? Alright, 1 have something else to attend to, so I’ll…”
Before Jiang Shan could finish his sentence, an urgent voice suddenly sounded in Tu Fei’s ear.
We’ve found information! Tu Fei Ding, the Fifth Young Master of the Tu Family, was killed in Yicheng Base City! He was killed by someone named Mo Xiao, and it happened twice in a row!”
“What?! Yicheng Base City!” Tu Fei stood up instantly upon hearing this news.
“Yes! It seems like this information was suppressed by the Jiang Family in Yicheng..”
