Gradually, more and more forces entered the venue, and the empty seats near Qin Hao became fewer and fewer.
As time went by, the main character finally arrived!
"Greetings, City Lord!" The disciples of the Rune Origin Pavilion stood up and saluted.
"City Lord Ning, how have you been? Your demeanor is still the same as before!" The Hall Master of the Herb Hall, Tang Doo, smiled and cupped his fists.
"Not only is your demeanor still the same, I'm afraid that City Lord Ning's cultivation has improved again!" An old man with a sword-like figure said. He was the core elder of Wuque Sword Sect.
"Hello, everyone. My old friend Tang Doo, you are here too. The Ning family has not received you well. Please forgive us … Yo, Elder Meng of Wuque Sword Sect. Elder Meng's aura has returned to its original state. This is the sign of breaking through to the Emperor Realm. Congratulations!" City Lord Ning returned the greetings one by one with a smile on his face.
Qin Hao looked over. This was an eight-foot tall middle-aged man in a battle robe. He walked with a majestic gait. He seemed to be in harmony with heaven and earth and could control everything.
That pair of cold and handsome eyes had the aura of swallowing thousands of troops and horses.
Just a glance at him was enough to make one's mind tremble and revere him.
He was the Lord of Golden Light City, Ning Chaofan's father.
He was an Emperor Yuan powerhouse, an extremely powerful general under Emperor Ningwu's command.
However, when City Lord Ning entered the venue, he did not walk at the front of the team.
Instead, he was like a foil, walking beside someone.
The temperament of the person leading the team was even higher than City Lord Ning.
He wore a crown on his head and a golden robe on his body. Nine dragons danced on his robe, and the emperor's aura turned into raging waves. Wherever he passed, everyone could not raise their heads.
He was the son of Emperor Ning Wu, the eldest prince of the Ning family, Ning Hongxuan, who ascended to the throne!
At this moment, Ning Chaofan looked at Ning Hongxuan as if he was looking at a god in his heart. After all, this was the next Emperor Ning Wu who was about to lead the Ning family.
"Eldest Brother, Father!" Ning Chaofan hurriedly got up and trotted all the way to greet them.
From the way he shouted, it could be seen that Ning Hongxuan's position in his heart had surpassed his father's.
"Chaofan, I've heard from the servants that you've safely returned to your clan. I was worried. Now that I've seen you in person, I'm relieved!"
Ning Hongxuan's footsteps paused. A rare smile appeared on his dignified face. He raised his hand and patted Ning Chaofan's shoulder like an elder brother.
This action was extremely intimate!
"What? You only saw your First Imperial Brother, but not your Third Imperial Brother?"
On the other side of Ning Hongxuan, a young man stood out and pretended to be angry. His bearing was also outstanding.
It was only because of Ning Hongxuan's presence that he appeared to be inferior.
Ning Feiang, the third son of Great Emperor Ning Wu, was the prince who had the best relationship with Ning Hongxuan.
It was rumored that if Ning Hongxuan ascended the throne one day, Ning Feiang would be the King of Political Advisors. It was obvious that his status was not ordinary.
"Greetings, Third Imperial Brother!" Ning Chaofan hurriedly saluted.
"You brat, you've been causing trouble all day long, and you actually hid it from me when you came back.
If it weren't for your Third Grandpa, I would still be in the dark! "
City Lord Ning scolded. However, everyone could see that this was a father's concern for his son. It was very warm.
"I'm sorry, Father. I've made you worry!"
Ning Chaofan's eyes suddenly turned red. No matter when, his father was always the one who cared about him the most. He heard from his clansmen that after he disappeared, his father sent all the experts of the Golden Light City to excavate the Coiling Dragon Wonder without rest or sleep. City Lord Ning personally supervised them, and a lot of his hair had turned white.
If it weren't for the auction, he would still be excavating at the source of the South River!
Now that he looked at it, his father's hair had indeed turned white!
"It's good that you're back!"
City Lord Ning stroked Ning Chaofan's head. His eyes immediately fell on Qin Hao: "Is that mister the one who protected you?"
"Yes, if it weren't for teacher's protection, I would have been killed by the old man with the broken sword!" Ning Chaofan clenched his fists. Thinking back to the scene when he was forced, he was still very angry.
Of course, Qin Hao didn't really help him, but one thing was undeniable. If it weren't for Qin Hao's presence, Ning Chaofan would have died.
"Ning family will not treat him unfairly!" City Lord Ning nodded at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao got up and nodded as well.
The current situation was too big. City Lord Ning couldn't abandon his prince to greet Qin Hao. This point, Qin Hao could naturally understand.
"Chaofan, come with me!" At this time, Ning Hongxuan muttered and took the lead to enter a pavilion.
He naturally heard about Xiao Han's matter. In fact, Ning Chaofan's return couldn't be hidden from their eyes. Only Ning Chaofan was immersed in it and thought that he had deceived them, so he was happy like a fool.
However, Xiao Han's matter wasn't easy to deal with.
Ning Hongxuan couldn't immediately give Qin Hao an answer. He needed to discuss it with Ning Chaofan first.
"There are no eternal friends, only eternal benefits.
Between the pros and cons, friendship can be abandoned! "
Qin Hao was slightly disappointed. He watched the Ning family enter the pavilion. During this time, no one came up to talk to him.
Ning Hongxuan didn't even send a servant to remind him.
As the emperor, Qin Hao naturally knew the emperor's methods.
This Ning family was unreliable!
"Between the pros and cons, friendship can be abandoned?
My young friend, why do you sigh like that? Did you encounter some problems? "Qing Lao thought about Qin Hao's words and asked with deep concern.
"It's nothing!" Qin Hao smiled unnaturally.
Even the Ning family couldn't do anything about it. Did he want to implicate Qing Lao?
Qing Lao's strength was decent, but he was only a half-step Dendi. Compared to the top three royal families of the Southern Region, he was like the mud on the clouds.
To put it bluntly, a casual slap from any of the three royal families was not something that Qing Lao could withstand.
"If you have any problems, don't hesitate to speak. Although the Old Man's strength is limited, he is not an ungrateful person!" Qing Lao said seriously. Gu Huangshou also nodded.
"Hahaha, I don't have any problems. Qing Lao, don't worry. The auction is about to begin!" Qin Hao suddenly laughed heartily. It turned out that there were differences between people.
At least Qing Lao wasn't a heartless person.
