Chapter 568
The Auction of the Myriad Swords Sect
Ning Qi stood to the side, watching Li Xiangrou.
Under his intimidating presence, no one dared to act recklessly anymore.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
So, after she said that, everyone thanked her respectfully.
They then stood up one by one.
Everyone turned their gaze forward, each with a respectful expression.
"This is hereby announced to the world."
Looking down at the crowd, Li Xiangrou said in a deep voice, "From the day I ascend the throne tomorrow, I will change the name of the country to Yongning Tianxia."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"..."
The crowd below responded respectfully once again.
"Alright, court adjourned."
Li Xiangrou waved her hand, signaling everyone to leave the court.
"Yes."
"..."
The crowd respectfully agreed again and then withdrew in turn.
In an instant, the court was empty again, with only a few guards and palace maids remaining.
Li Xiaotian looked quite dejected at this moment.
"Father, from now on you will be the Emperor Emeritus of Yue."
Li Xiangrou looked at him and then said, "Go to Nanshan and rest peacefully. You don't need to get involved in the affairs of Yue Kingdom anymore."
After a series of changes, and with Ning Qi's support.
This made Li Xiangrou even more confident.
"Okay, I'm happy to have some peace and quiet."
"However, I have a request."
Li Xiaotian felt relieved, but there were still some things he couldn't let go of.
So, he spoke to Li Xiangrou.
"What's the matter?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiangrou couldn't help but ask.
"Can you spare your elder sister and brother?"
Li Xiaotian looked at her and said seriously, "They are also your close relatives. If you are not at ease, you can strip them of their titles."
“Even expulsion is acceptable, as long as we leave them a way to survive.”
"I won't follow them and chase them all the way."
"However, the title must be stripped."
"Their strength is like that of ants in front of me. I will not kill them!"
After hearing his words, Li Xiangrou said disdainfully.
"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that."
Li Xiaotian nodded and sighed, "I'll take my leave now. The future of Yue Kingdom is in your hands."
After saying that, he didn't linger any longer and left first.
"Father, I will be enthroned tomorrow. Don't forget to come."
Li Xiangrou added another reminder.
"Don't worry, I will definitely come!"
After Li Xiaotian agreed, he left first.
For a moment, only Li Xiangrou and Ning Qi remained.
"Ning Qi, can you attend my coronation ceremony?"
Li Xiangrou looked at Ning Qi and asked seriously.
"Of course, otherwise people would think I'm an accomplice you hired."
"I'll make sure you have a good show before I leave."
Ning Qi readily agreed, and said with a smile, "Your performance just now was excellent; you already have the bearing of an emperor."
"Really? I learned all of this from you."
Upon hearing his words, Li Xiangrou couldn't help but reveal a touch of tenderness: "From now on... I will face everyone and everything with this kind of spirit."
"Yes, you can definitely do it! I believe you can do it!"
Ning Qi nodded and then said, "I hope that when I return in the future, you will be able to dominate a region."
"I should be able to do it!"
Li Xiangrou nodded just as seriously.
"Alright, go ahead and make your arrangements. There must be a lot to take care of here!"
"I'll just take a stroll in your back garden."
Ning Qi waved his hand and then prepared to leave.
"Someone come here."
Li Xiangrou then called out towards the outside of the main hall.
"exist!"
Several guards immediately stepped forward respectfully.
"Take Young Master Ning to the back garden."
"Arrange for him to live in Jingxiang Tower."
Li Xiangrou clearly knows this place very well.
Ning Qi was provided with accommodation.
"Yes!"
The guard respectfully accepted the order and then stepped aside.
"Ning Qi, I'll come find you tonight!"
Seeing that Ning Qi was about to leave, Li Xiangrou reminded him.
"it is good!"
Ning Qi smiled and agreed, then left the main hall with the guards.
Throughout the journey, the guards maintained a respectful demeanor.
They all knew Ning Qi's identity, so no one dared to slight him.
It should be noted that even the strongest experts in Yue Kingdom are like ants in Ning Qi's hands.
None of them dared to offend him.
Ning Qi followed the guards, passing through red pavilions and low-hanging boudoirs, and soon arrived at the back garden.
It was described as a back garden, but to Ning Qi, it looked more like a traditional garden.
The trees and herbs are all deliberately planted by people, making them pleasing to the eye.
The artificial lake also made him feel relaxed and at ease.
"Master, this place is really nice! I'd love to stay here a few more days!"
The spirit leaped and bounded in the void, admiring the beautiful scenery.
"Then you can stay here with her."
Ning Qi said with a smile, "I'll go see Miss Xu myself, and I can come back to pick you up when I get back."
"That won't do, I haven't seen Miss Xu in a long time either."
"And that silly cat."
Yao Ling shook his head repeatedly, looking ahead: "If I have the chance, I'll bring them here to play."
"I'm afraid there won't be that opportunity."
Ning Qi shook his head: "Once we see Miss Xu, we'll head back."
"We've wasted enough time on this trip."
"Master, do you think Miss Xu is thinking about us?"
Upon hearing his words, Yao Ling couldn't help but think of something, so she asked curiously.
"Then we'll have to wait and see."
Ning Qi sighed and then looked ahead.
"Immortal, this is Jingxiang Pavilion."
At this moment, the guard suddenly pointed to the pavilion in front and said to Ning Qi.
"Okay! You guys go ahead! I want to be alone for a bit."
Ning Qi nodded, then dismissed the guards.
"Yes!"
"..."
The guards respectfully accepted the order and then hurriedly left.
However, they only waited at the entrance of the garden.
These people will come immediately whenever Ning Qi needs anything.
Ning Qi didn't care about this. He just glanced at it and then followed them to the top floor of the attic.
This is actually a pavilion, and looking ahead, you can overlook the entire beautiful scenery of the imperial city.
"Master, this imperial city is truly beautiful."
"Compared to some immortal sects, they are not inferior at all!"
The spirit of medicine was in the void, watching everything before it.
He exclaimed in admiration.
"Yes, when we get back, I will also build such a city in our True Martial Spirit Realm."
Ning Qi nodded, then continued, "The people here are all very strong. When we get back this time, we'll start searching for the fragments of Buzhou Mountain."
"After the fusion, the spiritual energy of our True Martial Spirit Realm will also rise accordingly."
"At that time, our strength will also increase."
"Yes, Master!"
Yao Ling nodded: "However, Buzhou Mountain is not easy to find. If we could find it, we would have sensed it long ago."
"That's because I haven't been using it. If I were to use it, I would definitely attract people who have the fragments of Buzhou Mountain."
“Right now, our overall strength is not enough, so we can’t do that for the time being. It’s too risky.” Ning Qi sighed, then looked in the direction of the Myriad Swords Sect: “As the strongest sect here, I’ll go and see if they can find out anything.”
"That depends on them."
Yao Ling nodded, then pointed in the direction of the imperial city: "Master, shall we go for a stroll in the city?"
"Perhaps we can gain something else."
You mean the auction?
Ning Qi also realized something.
"Yes, as the capital city, it should have some good things."
Yao Ling nodded vigorously, looking very interested.
"Then we'll have to go check it out."
"Now that you mention it, it really has been a long time since we've been there."
"Ever since I was followed by those two blonde girls, I haven't had a chance to go again."
Ning Qi thought for a moment before speaking.
"Yes, shall we go?"
Yao Ling nodded, already quite impatient.
"Let's go, it's boring here, let's leave!"
Ning Qi readily agreed.
Then they followed them outside.
"Immortal, where are we going?"
Seeing that he was about to come out, the guard quickly stepped forward and asked respectfully.
"Go to your auction!"
Ning Qi said directly, "Does anyone know the way? Lead the way."
"Immortal, I know you."
"plz follow me."
The guard nodded and then began to lead Ning Qi the way.
"Okay! Let's go."
Ning Qi agreed and then had the guards lead the way.
He followed the guard and left the imperial city, arriving at the market town.
They crossed several more streets and finally arrived at a bustling market town.
The streets are lined with shops and bustling with people.
Many people were shouting and hawking.
Ning Qi looked around and couldn't help but sigh.
The people here are indeed much stronger than those in his True Martial Spirit Realm.
Moreover, resources are abundant.
"Immortal, you're just ahead!"
At this moment, the guard suddenly reminded him.
"Okay, let's go!"
Ning Qi agreed and had the guards continue leading the way.
"Yes!"
The guards obeyed and then led Ning Qi to the entrance of the auction house.
Upon entering, the waiter recognized them as members of the Imperial Guard and quickly went to greet them.
"Sir, are you here for the auction?"
The waiter asked with a forced smile.
Are there any private rooms available?
The guard glanced at the waiter and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes, gentlemen, please follow me."
Upon hearing this, the man quickly agreed.
"Immortal, please!"
The guard turned around and respectfully spoke to Ning Qi.
His words made the other man even more curious about Ning Qi's identity.
For a member of the Imperial Guard to extend such a respectful invitation, their identity must be extraordinary.
Maybe they have connections to the royal family.
Therefore, they became even more respectful.
They were quickly led upstairs.
After finding a private room, we respectfully invited them in.
"Gentlemen, please enjoy all the delicious food on this table!"
"If you need anything else, just let us know. We have people here ready to help!"
The man spoke to the two men.
"Okay, go ahead."
The guard then told the man to leave.
"By the way, are there any protective formations or restrictions in these private rooms?"
Ning Qi remembered what happened last time, so he asked about it intentionally.
"Yes, sir, don't worry, we will absolutely not reveal any information about you!"
The man quickly agreed.
"Alright, no one is allowed to come to our private room again."
"They're here to deliver the baby, they're waiting at the door too!"
Ning Qi nodded, then added, "If the news leaks out, you might as well prepare to close your auction!"
"Yes, yes, sir, don't worry, there won't be any problems!"
Upon hearing this, the waiter repeatedly assured him.
"Okay, go ahead!"
Ning Qi was relieved and then let the man leave.
"Immortal, this auction was organized by an elder of the Myriad Swords Sect."
"There will absolutely be no problem."
After the waiter left, the guard respectfully spoke to Ning Qi.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Ning Qi agreed and then looked ahead.
He walked straight to the table and sat down.
Sure enough, there were some desserts and other delicacies on the table.
These are clearly prepared for distinguished guests who can come here.
"Master, we're in for a treat!"
The medicine spirit has already begun to act.
"How long until the auction starts here?"
Ning Qi also tasted the pastries and asked curiously.
"Immortal, there should be about half an incense stick's time left."
"They usually wait until most of their subordinates have arrived before they begin."
"Look down there, the seats are almost full."
The guard listened to his question and then pointed to the crowd below the platform.
Just as he said, the place was almost full.
"okay."
"I want to see what treasures the Myriad Swords Sect can auction off."
Ning Qi nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze forward.
That's where the counter is located, and where the auctioneer stands.
There were several other men on either side, clearly there to help.
Ning Qi glanced at it once, then looked away.
"Immortal, the auctions here are much more lively than those elsewhere."
The guard began to speak at length: "Because it's an auction held by the Myriad Swords Sect, everything being auctioned is priceless."
"The people who come down here generally can't afford it."
"However, the people in these private rooms are all capable of doing so."
"Many of them are from other sects, and some are from other dynasties."
"Oh? Do the people who come here have such complicated backgrounds?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Qi couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Yes, our Yue Kingdom's imperial city also has the Wanjian Sect's investigation branch!"
“There are also branch sects of other sects.”
The guard nodded, a hint of pride in his eyes: "It's all because our Yue Kingdom is the strongest among the surrounding dynasties."
"I see."
The spirit medicine said, "Master, no wonder the spiritual energy here is so abundant. It turns out they chose a good location."
"This is mainly because they are very strong."
"Only those with spiritual energy can occupy such a place!"
Ning Qi glanced at Yao Ling before analyzing, "In a place like this, without absolute strength, it's very difficult to gain a foothold."
"Yes, Master, do you think Princess Xiangxiang's coronation ceremony tomorrow will go smoothly?"
Yao Ling nodded first, then suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know."
"However, I will help you to the end."
Ning Qi shook his head, then continued, "If anyone dares to cause trouble, then we'll deal with them all for Xiangxiang." (End of Chapter)
