Ling Yun looked towards Yu Yuanzhen and Puppet Yu Xiaogang, noticing that the father and son were still talking about something.
He perked up his ears and listened carefully, it seemed Yu Yuanzhen wanted to persuade Puppet Yu Xiaogang to return to the Sect.
However, Puppet Yu Xiaogang directly refused. No matter how Yu Yuanzhen tried to persuade him, he did not agree, only stating that he would return to the Sect in the future to see his father.
This made Yu Yuanzhen feel very frustrated, especially since last time Ling Yun, in Yu Xiaogang's identity, summoned the Three-Headed Holy Dragon, which was equivalent to a Two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast.
Yu Yuanzhen and the other Elders also felt this aura and quickly ordered a search throughout the entire clan to see if anyone's Spirit had mutated.
As a result, no one in the entire Sect met the criteria, and Yu Yuanzhen secretly guessed if it was Yu Xiaogang.
Just now, he subtly asked Puppet Yu Xiaogang if his Spirit had mutated again, and received an affirmative answer.
So he had secretly confirmed that the Three-Headed Holy Dragon, which emitted spirit power equivalent to 220,000 years, was his son's Spirit that had mutated again.
Even if he outwardly appeared to be only a level 29 Spirit Grandmaster, in reality, he was incredibly formidable.
Therefore, he felt that if Yu Xiaogang were to return to the family now, absolutely no one would disagree.
But his own son refused without even thinking, clearly showing that he had no more feelings for the family, which made Yu Yuanzhen quite helpless.
With a disappointed heart, Yu Yuanzhen left the auction house. Puppet Yu Xiaogang returned to Ling Yun's side and bowed respectfully.
"Master, thank you."
Ling Yun said lazily to Puppet Yu Xiaogang.
"What is there to thank? You are no longer the real Yu Xiaogang. Now you are my puppet.
Puppets don't need emotions, only rationality. Just complete the tasks I assign you well."
After Ling Yun finished speaking, he directly suppressed Puppet Yu Xiaogang's last trace of emotion, making him completely a puppet who obeyed his commands, lest he do anything out of line.
"Yes, Master, Xiaogang understands."
Puppet Yu Xiaogang nodded heavily. When he looked up, his eyes only held rationality and ruthlessness; his sole emotion had completely vanished.
Ling Yun sneered and looked at the round-faced auction house manager: "Are you alright? The matter has been dealt with now, let everyone disperse."
The auction house manager seemed to awaken from a dream. He looked around and found that the owner of the Golden Behemoth had already left.
It was clear that the young man, who appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen, had driven him away, and the manager was overjoyed.
The owner of the Golden Behemoth, who had intended to cause trouble in the auction house, had left, which meant they wouldn't have to compensate him.
Thinking of the treasure with a starting bid of five million, it could at least fetch ten million gold coins, or even more.
After all, it was an eighty-eight-thousand-year-old Golden Behemoth that had been captured alive. If they had to pay compensation, the entire auction house would suffer immense losses.
After thinking it over, the round-faced auction house manager immediately ordered the staff present to dismiss the other irrelevant people.
He then put on a fawning smile and said to Ling Yun.
"Sir, may I invite you to the third floor? You have solved such a big problem for our auction house, and this humble one must express his gratitude."
"Gratitude?" Ling Yun's eyes lit up. Ah, yes, he had just saved the entire auction house.
Shouldn't the auction house show some appreciation? Of course, they should. In business, a businessman's appreciation is definitely about profit.
Ling Yun absolutely had to make this auction house bleed a little, otherwise, he wouldn't be the cunning and sly Xiao Ye.
Ling Yun couldn't help but feel a little excited, wondering how much money he could extort.
He showed a wicked smile and said to Puppet Yu Xiaogang behind him.
"You go back to the academy first. I'll return by myself later. Once you're back, gather Liu Erlong and Flender for a meeting and have them discuss the expansion plan for the Inner Courtyard."
Puppet Yu Xiaogang nodded and immediately left the auction house.
The auction house manager saw the wicked smile on Ling Yun's face and his heart skipped a beat.
Oh crap… He had originally just wanted to give Ling Yun a small token of appreciation, just a gesture.
This would also show that their auction house was grateful, but hearing Ling Yun tell Puppet Yu Xiaogang to leave and talk about Inner Courtyard expansion.
Coupled with Ling Yun's wicked smile, the auction house manager already knew that the auction house was definitely going to bleed heavily this time.
The fat on his face trembled, and his face couldn't help but crumple. Why was he so cheap?
If he hadn't mentioned gratitude just now, this young man probably wouldn't have thought anything of it.
The auction house manager wanted to slap himself hard a few times for his big mouth.
However, in front of Ling Yun, he dared not show too much displeasure. He made a gesture to Ling Yun and said respectfully.
"Sir, please."
Ling Yun nodded, rose from his seat, and followed the auction house manager towards the third floor of the auction house.
Upon reaching the third-floor office of the auction house, Ling Yun unceremoniously sat down on a grand armchair, leisurely crossing his legs.
The auction house manager quickly called over a dozen beautiful female receptionists to specifically attend to Ling Yun, and had them bring many fruits, pastries, and so on.
After arranging for Ling Yun to sit down, he left the office himself.
These female receptionists knew that Ling Yun was an extraordinary person. Their faces were plastered with fake smiles, and they chirped like orioles, eager to curry favor with him.
However, Ling Yun wasn't particularly fond of these female receptionists. These receptionists had worked in the auction house for many years.
The prettier the female receptionist, the more likely she was to be a requested attendant for wealthy individuals who came to the auction house.
To please these rich people, and to make them hand over large sums of gold coins to the auction house, these female receptionists had undergone strict training.
Perhaps, these beautiful female receptionists might have entertained more men than fallen women in the red-light district, only they catered to the wealthy.
So Ling Yun frowned and directly drove those female receptionists out of the office, citing that they were too noisy.
About ten minutes later, the auction house manager returned to the room. Seeing Ling Yun glaring at him with displeasure, he quickly asked.
"S-sir, did they not serve you well? If so, I will get rid of them immediately."
"Shut up! It has nothing to do with them. Xiao Ye just doesn't like you. Do you think Xiao Ye is short of women?
Calling so many women to bother me, do you believe Xiao Ye will kill you, motherf*cker!"
Ling Yun cursed, and with his spirit power, he slapped the auction house manager's fat face from a distance.
The auction house manager clutched his aching face, his head buzzing a little. He hadn't expected that he just wanted to flatter, but ended up kicking the horse's leg instead.
Uh, how awkward…
