บท 3410: Chapter 3259: Cooperation Established
Meanwhile, as conversations were happening inside, the outside was equally unsettled!
The Titled Douluo, as if he had made up his mind about something, turned to Gui Mei and asked, "You must be from the Tiandou Empire, am I right?"
He was very curious about the other party's background!!
Such a high-ranking Hyper Douluo, merely tasked with protecting a child under ten years old!
However, Gui Mei, who already had a scant fondness for the Xingluo Empire, merely glanced at him and said coldly, "What's it to you?"
True to an auction house employee, idling away the time trying to fish for information!
Upon hearing this, the other party could only show an awkward expression, "You see... as far as I know, the Super Douluo level Soul Masters within the Tiandou Empire should all be somewhat famous!"
"So I thought you must be as well. That's why I took the liberty of asking, but if it bothers you, then never mind!"
Gui Mei crossed his arms and closed his eyes, saying, "Since you know it bothers me, then stop asking. I'm not interested in talking nonsense right now!!"
Having said that, he no longer bothered with the other party and simply ignored him...
And this defiant attitude, rather than irritating the other party, only piqued his curiosity even more...
Even while in the territory of the Xingluo Empire, he still spoke with such an arrogant tone...
This alone could prove the other party held a not insignificant status within the Tiandou Empire...
But since he did not want to talk, there was no need for further questioning, to avoid annoyance!
Afterward, it was only a matter of sending someone to investigate based on his appearance and strength!
Thinking this, he came to terms with it, and then he shut his mouth...
But the next second, Gui Mei suddenly asked out of the blue, "By the way, can one use spiritual power to clearly hear the conversation inside?"
He was still curious about what exactly Xu Sheng planned to trade for the Boundless Universe Shield, as its value was considerable—
The other party was taken aback, and then he responded meaningfully, "The room is equipped with a soundproof device. It's possible to eavesdrop using spiritual power forcefully, but it would attract attention!"
These words made Gui Mei dismiss the idea in his mind...
"Tsk, what an awful design!!"
Xu Sheng's soul power rank had reached Title Douluo, and using spiritual power forcefully would definitely be detected!
...
Finally, after conversations that lasted several hours...
The elderly man and Xu Sheng finally came to an agreement...
As the former opened the door, he called out, "You may come in now!!"
As the words were spoken, the Titled Douluo and Gui Mei entered the VIP room together...
After that, the Titled Douluo leaned close to the Elder and asked in a low voice, "Has the situation been settled?"
The look on the other's face seemed very satisfied with the transaction!
Heard this, the Elder did not respond to him alone but instead calmly said to everyone present, "I have reached a cooperation with this young friend and agreed to lend him the Boundless Universe Shield."
"In addition, starting today, he is a top client of our Xingluo Empire Auction House!!"
The Titled Douluo exclaimed, "What??"
A top client of the auction house??
That was an honor most nobles of the Xingluo Empire could not attain!
Gui Mei was even more astonished, mouth agape, somewhat unable to believe what was happening before his eyes...
Xu Sheng had actually done it!
Not only did the Xingluo Empire's auction house lend out the Boundless Universe Shield, but they even promoted it to the highest level of VIP!!
The elder looked at the shocked expressions of the two and emphasized again, "You heard right, this is the result I've reached based on the terms of our negotiation!!"
Hearing the former emphasize again, the Titled Douluo and Gui Mei didn't know what to say and chose to accept it...
At this moment, the silent Xu Sheng spoke up to interrupt, "Thank you, elder. May we go retrieve the Boundless Universe Shield now? After all, time is of the essence, and we cannot stay in the Xingluo Empire for too long!"
It is not yet clear whether the friendly match has ended!
Therefore, we must hurry to Sea God's Island to obtain that item!!
The elder laughed heartily and waved his hands, "Since we've reached an agreement, that's certainly no problem!"
Then, he threw a glance at the Titled Douluo beside him...
The latter immediately understood...
And quickly gestured to Xu Sheng and his companion, "Let's go, I'll take you to the auction house's warehouse to get the Boundless Universe Shield!"
"But that place is heavily guarded, so please refrain from any unnecessary actions, otherwise, you'll be immediately identified as enemies!!"
He dared to bring such a Hyper Douluo along, obviously confident in the security of the warehouse!!
Xu Sheng thanked him with a fist and palm salute, "Of course, we are only interested in the Boundless Universe Shield and not in anything else!!"
"Right, Elder Gui?"
Gui Mei, coming back to his senses, cleared his throat and responded, "Ahem... Indeed, while your Xingluo Empire auction house is indeed impressive, it's not to the extent that we would consider robbing it!!"
The former didn't continue with any nonsense and said, "If that's the case, please follow me!"
...
After leaving the auction house!
Gui Mei's expression seemed somewhat complex...
This peculiar look made Xu Sheng suspicious, "Elder Gui, we've successfully obtained the Boundless Universe Shield, so why do you seem somewhat displeased?"
It felt like the other party was pondering over something unsavory!
Caught up in his fantasies, Gui Mei blurted out subconsciously, "I'm thinking... the auction house of the Xingluo Empire actually conceals so many treasures, even more astonishing than previously imagined!"
"If our Martial Soul Hall could take control of it, it would surely bring a constant flow of resources!!"
He had assumed that the Xingluo Empire's auction house would at most have some rare and exotic items that wouldn't affect the Martial Soul Hall much!
But after his visit today, he realized how narrow his view had been!
To be the largest auction house in the Xingluo Empire, its resources could hardly be simple!!
However, he quickly shut his mouth...
Reproaching, "You kid, what does what I think have to do with you?"
"Besides, from start to finish, it was you who wanted to go to Sea God's Island. Even if we have obtained the Boundless Universe Shield, why should I be happy??"
He would rather they had not obtained it and returned straight to Martial Soul City!
After all, based on the time, the friendly match was about to end soon!!
Xu Sheng's eyes twinkled as he reminded, "Elder Gui, there are many opportunities on Sea God's Island, and even you might find a chance for a breakthrough!!"
"If you could break through, it would surely save you decades of time, right?"
But Gui Mei saw right through his intentions and said with a sneer, "Stop drawing pie in the sky for me, I'm far more familiar with these things than you are!!"
This was the first time someone had tried to tempt him with false promises—quite ironic indeed!
Xu Sheng also quickly picked up the conversation, "In that case, perhaps Elder Gui would prefer to return to Martial Soul City first??"
