Chapter 726: 726

Jiang Chen and the girl came back onto the street . He said to her, “Go back . Don’t ever again run away with anyone easily . “

“What do you mean?”

The girl had been ready to accept her fate . She was puzzled by Jiang Chen .

“Go, before I change my mind,” Jiang Chen said .

The girl walked a few steps as a test . After confirming Jiang Chen wouldn’t stop her, she ran into the crowd swiftly .

Since they didn’t pay anything for the girl, letting her go wasn’t a violation of the blood oath .

However, to his surprise, Jiang Moliang came back with the girl .

“She doesn’t even have shoes . Where can she go?” she complained to Jiang Chen .

Somehow, Jiang Chen felt she was less aggressive .

It seemed what had happened in the Fairy Maiden Bar had a huge influence on her .

However, while Jiang Chen was thinking about this, she added, “I’ve asked around . The Fairy Maiden Bar is supported by some people of the Jiangs indeed . I will report this to the chieftain . “

Jiang Chen smiled . He didn’t think her belief in the Jiangs would be shaken easily .

“Thank you . “

The girl was a good observer . She knew from Jiang Chen and Jiang Moliang’s conversation that they wouldn’t do anything to her .

“Thank him . “

“Thank her . “

Jiang Chen and Jiang Moliang said at the same time, pointing at each other .

Then they were both struck dumb .

The girl threw a glance at them . She smiled gently, as if she had misunderstood something .

Then, the girl told them her name was Lan, and she was from a small desolate land .

As she had said, she ran away with her fiancé .

“If he is your fiancé, why did you run away?” Jiang Chen asked out of curiosity .

“His . . . his father died in the Desolate Forbidden Land . Their family came down in the world . As a result, my parents wanted me to break the engagement . “

Lan sounded very sorrowful when she was speaking . What she had got from her sacrifice was beyond her expectation .

She could still recall the day she arrived in the Treasure City with her fiancé . That man said since he had gained a lot from the adventures he had taken, he would take her for shopping .

When Lan felt she was on top of the world and all of her sufferings had finally ended, those from the Fairy Maiden Bar showed up and caught her .

They told her that her fiancé had sold her to the Fairy Maiden Bar at a high price .

Lan refused to believe it, but she did see that man’s signature on the contract they had shown her .

Lan tried to escape, but as a Reaching Heaven State, she was rather weak in the Eight Divinities Territory .

She was caught back and got a cruel beat .

However, fortunately, the staff of the Fairy Maiden Bar didn’t beat her too hard since they still wanted to sell her for a good price .

“The Fairy Maiden Bar won’t harm anyone anymore,” Jiang Moliang said coldly .

“Did you . . . ?”

Jiang Chen guessed something from what she had said . He was surprised .

Then, he heard a great disturbance coming from the alley where the Fairy Maiden Bar was .

A group of armored soldiers dashed into the alley in a hurry . And he saw the Fairy Maiden Bar was on fire .

Jiang Moliang pulled a long face . He didn’t see any fear or regret on her face, since she believed she had done the right thing .

In fact, it was the right thing to do indeed .

What surprised Jiang Chen was her cruelty .

It occurred to him he had offended her various times on the way . At such a thought, a fear arose in him all of a sudden .

“Have you been holding your temper to not kill me?” Jiang Chen said .

“Your life isn’t as valuable as Jiang Zhe’s,” Jiang Moliang said .

Jiang Chen took a deep breath . He asked tentatively, “Can the Jiangs send another person to accompany me?”

“Eh?”

Jiang Moliang frowned . Her look became cold again .

“Well, forget it . “

Jiang Chen gave up the idea . He would be fine as long as she didn’t attack him .

Then the two went to buy some clothes for Lan .

Jiang Chen gave her some money, enough for her to go back home .

Lan was very touched . She burst into tears involuntarily . She said, “I . . . I don’t want to go back . “

“Why is that?”

“If I go back . . . if I go back, people will laugh at me, and I will be punished . I don’t want to go back until I become a Venerable . “

Lan looked very delicate and touching, especially when she looked at Jiang Chen . She said, “Can I stay with you?”

“You want to stay with me? Do you know what I do?” Jiang Chen asked, smiling .

“You are the Jiangs’ young master?” Lan asked tentatively .

“He is not the Jiangs’ young master at all!” Jiang Moliang said coldly .

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders . He didn’t try to argue .

“No matter whether you are the Jiangs’ young master or not, you saved my life!” Lan said .

Jiang Chen thought about it for a while . Then he said, “All right . I need someone to do the chores anyway . And I can trust no one from the Jiangs . “

Lan felt very happy, but Jiang Moliang said in anger, “Who don’t you trust?”

“The Jiangs,” Jiang Chen said .

“Don’t try to challenge my patience . “

“I guess you don’t want to kill me to get Jiang Zhe killed . ” Jiang Chen whistled . He kept walking ahead, leaving her behind in a frenzy of rage .

Staring at him while he was walking away, Jiang Moliang involuntarily grasped the handle of her sword with her right hand .

Certainly, in the end, her reason won out .

Fifteen minutes later, the three arrived at the center of the Treasure City .

The streets here weren’t as crowded as those they had walked through before . They were much wider, even wide enough to be called a square .

It even had the room for a troop to run through .

On both sides of the street were high-end chambers of commerce . Not like the vendors, they didn’t look for customers on the street .

By comparison, eye-catching shelves were put at their entrances, on which the precious goods they had and the auction schedule were listed .

In the Treasure City, there were auctions held every day by the auction houses affiliated to those big chambers of commerce . Supplying good stuff wasn’t a problem for them . The only problem they could have was a lack of customers .

Jiang Chen walked around . In the end, he came to the largest chamber of commerce .

Someone asked the three of them what they were looking for as soon as they entered there .

Jiang Chen felt comfortable with their services . He told the staff what spiritual herbals he needed .

“Just a minute . “

All of the spiritual herbals he needed were very valuable . Jiang Chen had asked about all of them at the same time so that the staff of the chamber of commerce knew it would be a big order for them . The three of them were then taken to a VIP room .

The staff came back very soon .

They told Jiang Chen they did have the spiritual herbals he wanted, but due to various restrictions, it wouldn’t be easy to get them .

“Money isn’t a problem . I just want to get them as soon as possible,” Jiang Chen said out of curiosity .

Jiang Moliang was pissed off right away .

However, for the staff of the chamber of commerce, his response was exactly what they had been expecting . One of them said, “My client, tomorrow should be fine . But one of the spiritual herbals you need is owned by another chamber of commerce . Since they are going to sell it in the Treasure Auction, they don’t want to collaborate with us . “

“Treasure Auction?” Jiang Chen’s interest was piqued .

Next to him, Jiang Moliang felt she was seeing a large amount of the Jiangs’ money was flying away .

“It’s a joint auction organized by all high-end chambers of commerce in the Treasure City . It’s held once a month . Really a great event for us,” the staff introduced to him warm-heartedly .

“When will be the next time?” Jiang Chen asked .

“What a coincidence . It’s also tomorrow . “

“That’s perfect . ” Jiang Chen smiled happily .

“My client, it’s not easy to get invited to the Treasure Auction . The entrance fee is calculated by seat . A first-class seat . . . ” the staff of the chamber of commerce said in a mild tone .

“That’s not my concern . I want three first-class seats . Money is all I have,” Jiang Chen cut in .

“No problem . No problem . ” The staff of the chamber of commerce was overjoyed .

“You don’t think the Jiangs’ money is money, do you?” Jiang Moliang said in anger .
