Chapter 638: Sisterly Bonds and a Stated Purpose

Qin Xiao was a little taken aback when the auctioneer came over to greet them. He did not even know the man.

“My respects, Manager Yu.”

Although Qin Xiao did not know him, Shen Ning did. She quickly stood up to return the greeting.

Yu Shan, chief manager of Qiankun City’s slave market, was a seventh-grade Golden Immortal. He had presided over this auction as a favor to Meng Sanqian; otherwise, he would not have handled it personally.

The slave trade involved a complicated web of interests. The market belonged to no single power, yet every power showed it some consideration. Its ability to operate even in an upright city like Qiankun City showed how formidable its backing was.

Do not be fooled by Yu Shan’s seventh-grade Golden Immortal Realm cultivation; even if a mighty figure of the Taiyi Realm arrived, they would still have to call him Brother Yu or Little Brother Yu.

Qin Xiao did not know this person, but all he had to do was follow Shen Ning’s lead.

“I’m from a small power in another domain, Senior Yu. You probably haven’t heard of it, so I won’t trouble you with the name.”

Qin Xiao actually considered making something up, but this old geezer’s information network was far vaster than his own. Blindly fabricating a background would easily expose flaws; it was better to just say nothing.

As for the Blood Soul Sect, Qin Xiao did not dare use that identity either, since this was the stronghold of the righteous Qiankun Academy.

“Is that so? Then we shall not mention it. Congratulations, Young Master, on winning the bids for all the Heavenly Immortal Realm slaves. For this last one, it comes to thirteen million Immortal Stones. How do you wish to handle the transaction?”
