He had spent one billion Divine Origin Gold just to get three Angel Grasses, and he was willing to offend Lu Li.
After the auction, he immediately sent an invitation saying that he wanted to discuss the Fairy Grass with Lu Li?
If there were no problems, Lu Li could eat the table in front of him. He waved his hand to let the escort leave, but the escort didn't. Instead, he added, "Our Young Lady said that she wants to trade the Fairy Grass for something in your hand …"
The guard retreated. Gan Lin revealed a mocking smile and said, "The young miss of the Zhangsun Clan is very clever. She knew that you wouldn't hand over the Black Tortoise Fruit, so she used this method to exchange for it.
If it's just three stalks of Celestial Grass, I'm afraid you won't agree to it. That's why they raised the price to one billion to show their … sincerity? "
Gan Lin was thinking the same thing as Lu Li. The most valuable things Lu Li had were the Tortoise Fruit, the Relic iron, Blood Fairy, and the Worms of the Void.
Almost no one in the outside world knew about Godly metal. If they wanted to trade for it, using Deity Grass was far from enough. Blood Fairy's attainment in the field of Divine Patterns was very high, and her attainment would only grow higher and higher in the future. However, not many people in the outside world knew about this. The Zhangsun Clan most likely would not be interested in the Void Worm.
Therefore … it was highly possible that the other party was here for the Black Tortoise Fruit.
The Zhangsun Family had as many experts as there were clouds in the sky, and there would definitely be many old undyings in the family. There would naturally be old undyings whose lifespans were about to run out, and it was only natural that they would want to exchange for the Black Tortoise Fruit.
As for the Zhangsun family wanting to harm him?
Lu Li hadn't thought about this before.
First of all, the Zhangsun Family had nothing against Lu Li. The Zhangsun Family would not make enemies for no reason. The Second Evil Lord had set down the rule that if the young generation wanted to kill Lu Li, they would have to pay the price. The Zhangsun Family dared not to take the risk.
Thirdly, this was the Tianyin City. If he wanted to use force here, he would have to ask the experts of the Tianyin Palace for permission.
Lu Li was in deep thoughts. The Xuan Tortoise Fruit could be traded, but the Angel Grass alone was not enough. If Zhangsun Ruyu could provide some other elixirs that could refine the body, then what was the big deal about giving the Zhangsun Family one Xuan Tortoise Fruit?
The last item was a true secret treasure. Its rank was similar to the King Dust Seal, and its price was also sky-high.
Other than the number one private room, the young masters and young ladies of the other private rooms, including Qin Zhan and the others, all participated in the auction.
In the end, the treasure was sold for a sky-high price of 800 million. It was won by a young master from a wealthy family.
This treasure was supposed to be the finale of the auction, but because the Angel Grass was sold for a sky-high price of one billion, this treasure was overshadowed.
Many young masters and young ladies were excited. Would Little Devil Lu Li turn the Heaven Music City upside down after being humiliated like this?
If he were to clash head-on with the Zhangsun family's young master, then it would be a good show to watch.
After the auction house was over, the Zhangsun Family came again. They said that Lady Zhangsun Ruyu had invited Lu Li to a banquet in a tavern in the city.
This restaurant was quite famous in the city. It was called the Hundred Flowers Restaurant, and many cities had this kind of restaurant.
Since they were in the city, Lu Li didn't think too much about it. He chatted with Gan Lin for a bit and left with the escorts.
Elixirs to cultivate the body were hard to come by. If the Zhangsun Family could offer some good stuff, Lu Li could let them have one Xuan Wu Fruit. After all, the Zhangsun Family was not his enemy.
If it was Black Flame Palace or Saint Origin Palace, he wouldn't agree even if they offered him a hundred cubes of Divine Marrow.
"Be careful!"
Gan Lin reminded. He didn't go with them. Since Zhangsun Ruyu had only invited Lu Li, he didn't want to go.
What if Zhangsun Ruyu fell in love with Lu Li? If he went, he would ruin Lu Li's plan.
There was a carriage waiting outside. The Zhangsun Family had made good arrangements. They walked slowly into the city.
It was not far away. In less than an hour, the carriage stopped outside a luxurious tavern.
Lu Li got off the carriage. The escorts showed him in in person and they arrived at a castle.
Lu Li saw Zhangsun Ruyu. Even though she didn't use her soul skill this time, she still looked beautiful and attractive in the dim light of the night.
"Greetings, Young Master Lu. Thank you for the honor."
Zhangsun Ruyu lowered her body. From Lu Li's angle, he could faintly see her breasts and snow-white breasts through her slightly opened collar.
Zhangsun Ruyu had changed into a robe, which made her look more charming.
"You are welcome."
Lu Li said casually. He was still not happy. If Zhangsun Ruyu had bought the Fairy Grass secretly and then invited him over for a talk, he would feel better.
Was she trying to tell him how rich the Zhangsun Family was when she bought the Fairy Grass in such a domineering manner?
"Young Master, this way please!"
Zhangsun Ruyu made a gesture of invitation. Lu Li walked in in strides. The decoration inside was elegant. Candles were swaying and the fragrance of Buddhist incense lingered in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Apart from the two maids, there was no one else?
Lu Li was surprised. Was Zhangsun Ruyu going to use her beauty to seduce him?
If he didn't agree to the exchange, was she going to sacrifice her body?
"Young Master, please forgive me for inviting you here so abruptly."
Zhangsun Ruyu invited Lu Li to take a seat. After she asked the maids to serve tea, she said with a guilty expression, "Just now, I bought the Fairy Grass that Young Master Lu wanted at a high price at the auction. I had no other choice. I apologize to you now."
"Not really!"
Lu Li didn't drink any tea. He was not familiar with Zhangsun Ruyu. He didn't dare to drink her tea. He said lightly, "At the auction, the highest bidder wins. Lady Ruyu, you are generous. I admit defeat."
Lu Li didn't go straight to the point. Negotiation required skills. He wanted Zhangsun Ruyu to beg him so that he could get a better price.
"Young Master Lu, you are famous in the Sea of Storms. The fight at the Chaos Island has established your reputation as the most powerful warrior of the young generation at the Second Heaven. I don't go out often, but I admire you very much. Here, I propose a toast to you with tea instead of wine."
Zhangsun Ruyu picked up the teacup. Her beautiful eyes were filled with affection and her cheeks were blushing.
She was as pretty as jade and she said such nice words. Average people would be dizzy by now.
Lu Li picked up the teacup and nodded. He clinked glasses with Zhangsun Ruyu, but he only took a sip. He waved his hand and said, "Lady Ruyu, don't flatter me. This is not a joke!
I don't deserve to be called the most powerful warrior of the young generation at the Second Heaven.
And this isn't glory, it's trouble. "
"Young Master Lu, if you don't deserve it, then who in the world can?"
What surprised Lu Li was that Zhangsun Ruyu didn't go straight to the point. Instead, she kept flattering him and talking about all kinds of things. She didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
After the time for one incense stick to burn, Lu Li was getting impatient. He put it bluntly, "Lady Ruyu, you didn't invite me here just to talk about this, did you?
If there is nothing else, then I will go back now. "
"Then let's get down to business!"
Zhangsun Ruyu's expression became solemn. She sat up straight and said, "Young Master Lu, I am now formally inviting you to join us on behalf of the Zhangsun Family. The terms of the Zhangsun Family are a position of patriarch, the best resources, and … me!"
"Eh …"
