Chapter 223: Auction (1)
Everything was proving to everyone that this was not an illusion or a dream. This great opportunity that was enough to defy the heavens and change fate had really smashed onto their heads.
Time passed slowly, and everyone woke up from that special state.
Seeing this, Wang Yi’s smile did not change. He asked again, “How do you feel?”
When they heard the voice, everyone came back to their senses and bowed to Wang Yi in unison. “We are willing to be martial artist teachers and teach the world for the Lord Venerable!”
When Wang Yi heard this, his emotions seemed to be stirred up. He immediately clapped his hands and laughed. “Good! Good! Good!”
“What good martial arts teachers. Today, I will establish the Organization of Martial Arts Teachers in the name of the Venerable. All of you are core members of the organization.”
“In the future, for the country to be prosperous and the people to be at peace, you have to spread your martial arts to the world. If the foreign races attack in the future, you must bravely kill the enemy and resist thieves outside the country!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene instantly boiled over. Everyone revealed excited expressions. Moreover, they could not help but be moved.
In public, what they would do in the future was an important thing that would benefit the country and the people. It would be remembered in history.
In private, they had joined a martial organization established by a Venerable and became the trusted aides of a Venerable.
Whether it was for public or private reasons, no one would be able to resist such temptation.
After the cheering ended and everyone calmed down, they replied in unison, “We will obey your orders!”
Then, everyone’s expressions turned solemn as they bowed respectfully again. “Greetings, leader!”
Hearing the term “leader,” the corners of Wang Yi’s mouth could not help but twitch. This did not make him sound like a good person.
Fortunately, he simply had the title of “leader” in the organization. He would still have Fang Yuan and the others handle specific matters. As for the errands, they would be done by hundreds of people.
The important matters and the general direction had been decided. Next, they needed to discuss the organization’s internal structure, the division of duties, and some details.
In order to completely grasp that mysterious opportunity, Wang Yi naturally had no interest in these, nor did he have time to waste on such trivial matters.
Moreover, Wang Yi also believed that Fang Yuan and the others could handle everything well. Therefore, after leaving behind a huge amount of resources, he disappeared from the Guardian’s Residence and returned to his villa to enter seclusion.
As civilian rangers and itinerant cultivators, no one present was stupid considering their achievements.
Naturally, they could clearly see the relationship between the Venerable and the other people, including Fang Yuan. At the same time, they could also distinguish the distance between them.
Although the Venerable also paid attention to them, their statuses were worlds apart from Fang Yuan and the others.
Therefore, when discussing the matters of the organization, Fang Yuan and the others were basically the leaders. A few Rank-9 grandmasters were supporting them, while the other dozen or so grandmasters occasionally gave suggestions. As for those below the Grandmaster-Realm, they basically did not even have the chance to interrupt.
In a quiet room of the villa…
Wang Yi sat cross-legged, his brows tightly furrowed. The aura around him was also slightly chaotic.
It had been five days!
Ever since he returned from the Guardian’s Residence that day, he had been in seclusion for five days.
However, in these five days, he was actually unable to grasp the vague opportunity to break through.
Wang Yi even suspected that he was hallucinating that day.
That might not even be an opportunity to break through at all. It might just be an inner demon that he had developed recently due to his impatience, or a sign of the legendary Qi Deviation.
This gave Wang Yi a fright. He hurriedly checked his condition in detail from the inside out.
However, after checking several times, he did not find anything wrong. His body was spotless, his mind was flawless, and his true qi was pure!
In the end, Wang Yi could only attribute the reason to the fact that the opportunity had not arrived yet. It was not the best time for him to advance to the Connate Realm yet.
Since that was the case, Wang Yi could not be bothered to waste any more time in the quiet room. He took a step forward and instantly disappeared.
The next moment, Wang Yi appeared in the hall.
However, before he could stabilize himself, Su Shiya and Hua Changyan also appeared in the hall holding each other’s arms.
From the looks of it, the two of them were preparing to leave the house. Furthermore, Hua Changqing was holding a gilded invitation.
Looking carefully, this was actually sent by Jia Xi that day. Clearly, the two of them were preparing to attend the auction held by the Yong Hua Chamber of Commerce.
Meanwhile, Su Shiya did not expect Wang Yi, who had been in seclusion for a few days, to come out today.
Looking at the familiar man in front of her, a smile bloomed on her face as she hurriedly walked up to him.
As the saying went, absence makes the heart grow fonder. After five days of seclusion, Wang Yi realized that he missed the beauty in front of him even more.
He walked up to her without any hesitation or delay. Ignoring the third wheel beside him, he simply pulled Su Shiya into his arms.
Upon seeing this, Su Shiya did not resist. She even rested her head on Wang Yi’s shoulder.
However, when she saw Hua Changyan from the corner of her eye, her face couldn’t help but turn red.
Meanwhile, Hua Changyan was very observant. Seeing the two of them like this, she didn’t say anything and gently retreated upstairs.
After a moment of affection, Su Shiya reluctantly left Wang Yi’s arms. Her face was still red as she turned around and ran upstairs.
Click! Click!
Not long after, there was a commotion at the stairs. Then, Su Shiya walked down with Hua Changyan again.
In the hall, the three of them sat opposite each other. Wang Yi glanced at the gilded invitation card in Hua Changyan’s hand and couldn’t help but smile. “Are you two preparing to attend the auction?”
Su Shiya nodded repeatedly when she heard this. Coincidentally, the Daoist temple was on vacation today. Seeing that Wang Yi was still not out of seclusion, she prepared to go to the auction with Hua Changyan to broaden her horizons.
However, to everyone’s surprise, before the two of them could leave, they bumped into Wang Yi, who had just come out of seclusion.
Originally, Wang Yi wanted to go out for a walk because he had failed to break through.
Seeing Su Shiya nod, he smiled and said, “Since I have nothing to do, I’ll go with you.”
Su Shiya was overjoyed when she heard this and reached out to hold Wang Yi’s arm.
However, she still asked curiously, “Ah Yi, did your seclusion go smoothly?”
Upon hearing that, Wang Yi could not help but recall his experiences over the past few days. The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
However, in order not to worry Su Shiya, Wang Yi scratched her nose and said confidently, “Of course, it went smoothly, don’t worry.”
Seeing that Wang Yi did not seem to have any problems, Su Shiya heaved a sigh of relief.
Su Shiya’s concern was understandable since she rarely saw Wang Yi in seclusion after discovering that he was a cultivator and a powerful martial artist beyond the Grandmaster Realm.
