Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe merely nodded gently and did not ask further.
Although Ye Xi did not specifically say who the candidate was, Xue Qinghe was able to guess that the candidate Ye Xi mentioned was the Defense Clan, who were skilled in construction.
"Since it has been decided, let's head back."
"There are still some procedures to go through to grant this place to you."
Xue Qinghe reached out and patted Ye Xi on the shoulder before walking back in the direction they had come from.
"Mm, let's go back."
Ye Xi agreed and followed in Xue Qinghe's footsteps.
Walking on the road back, Xue Qinghe seemed to have thought of something and turned his gaze toward Ye Xi.
"Ye Xi, the Tian Dou Auction House is holding an auction tomorrow. Are you interested in going to take a look?"
Xue Qinghe asked while they walked.
"An auction?"
"Then let's go take a look. I don't have anything else to do lately anyway."
After pondering for a moment, Ye Xi agreed directly.
"Then I will come to pick you up tomorrow morning."
Xue Qinghe looked at Ye Xi, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes.
Soon, the two arrived in front of Ye Xi's residence, and Xue Qinghe stopped in front of the mansion.
"You all go back now."
"I can return to the Tiandou Royal Palace on my own."
As Xue Qinghe spoke, he waved at Ye Xi and walked toward the direction of the Tiandou Royal Palace.
Watching Xue Qinghe leave, Ye Xi reached out and pushed open the main gate, then walked straight into the residence with Ling Yuan.
"Second Miss."
"Elder Ling Yuan, you have returned."
Tian Yue looked at the two who had returned and immediately walked toward them.
"Mm, things have been mostly taken care of."
"Sister Tian Yue, the Tian Dou Auction House is holding an auction tomorrow. Would you like to go together?"
Ye Xi sat down in the residence, her azure eyes looking at the Tian Yue in front of her, waiting for her reply.
"The Tian Dou Auction House?"
"Second Miss, I'm not interested in the auction house, but I am very interested in the Tian Dou Great Spirit Arena."
"If there's time, let's go check out the Great Spirit Arena."
Tian Yue looked at Ye Xi in front of her with an expectant gaze.
"Sure, the Tian Dou Great Spirit Arena is a good place. Participating in a spirit fight competition occasionally can also help accumulate some combat experience."
Ye Xi agreed without much thought.
"Mm, I think so too."
"Accumulating some combat experience never hurts."
A smile appeared on Tian Yue's exquisite face, and she looked very happy.
"Then let's go back and rest first."
"After attending the Tian Dou Auction House tomorrow, we will go take a look at the Great Spirit Arena."
Ye Xi rose from her seat, stretched her waist, and walked toward her room.
Tian Yue and Ling Yuan agreed and also returned to their own rooms.
...
On the other side.
Nine Heart Begonia Family.
In an antique-style room, the Family head, Ye Qingxue, was silently flipping through the information in her hands.
"Is this all the information you have gathered?"
Ye Qingxue placed the information in her hand on the table and looked at the few Disciples in front of her.
"Family head, all the information we were able to gather is here."
A Disciple stepped forward and answered respectfully.
"Mm, have the people gathering information return. There is no need to continue investigating."
Ye Qingxue waved her hand gently, signaling the Disciples in front of her to withdraw.
"Yes, Family head."
The Disciples agreed and silently retreated.
After all the Disciples had withdrawn, Ye Qingxue crossed her hands, deep thought appearing in her eyes.
From the information gathered alone, Ye Qingxue saw huge potential in Ye Xi. Such a person, from any perspective, was worth the Nine Heart Begonia Family making friends with.
"Ling Ling, you might have been right this time."
"Ye Xi, this young girl, is indeed a very good choice. However, before making a decision, one must first see Ye Xi's attitude."
"It seems I need to find a suitable opportunity to make contact with this young girl, Ye Xi."
Ye Qingxue muttered to herself, but a gentle look appeared on her fair face.
Ye Qingxue stood up, went to the window of the room, and looked quietly in the direction of Ye Xi's residence.
"Young girl, I hope you won't disappoint me when the time comes."
Ye Qingxue's voice was very gentle, but thoughts were constantly swirling in her calm eyes.
...
The next day, early morning.
Just as Ye Xi walked out of her room, she saw Xue Qinghe sitting not far away, leisurely drinking juice.
"When did you arrive?"
Looking at Xue Qinghe in front, a hint of surprise couldn't help but appear in Ye Xi's eyes.
"I've been here for a while. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't let Ling Yuan wake you."
"Come have some breakfast. I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I just bought some random things."
"After eating, we will go to the Tian Dou Auction House."
Xue Qinghe put down the juice in his hand and pointed to the breakfast on the table in front.
"Okay."
Ye Xi agreed, sat down at the table, and began to eat the breakfast in front of her.
Soon, after finishing breakfast, Ye Xi, Xue Qinghe, and Ling Yuan headed to the Tian Dou Auction House.
As for Tian Yue, because she was not interested in the Tian Dou Auction House, she stayed in the residence to Cultivate.
The group arrived at the entrance of the Tian Dou Auction House and saw the staff standing at the door distributing masks to the guests entering.
The reason for doing this was to protect the privacy of the guests after they entered the auction house, as well as the safety of the guests.
Of course, if one was confident enough and not afraid of being robbed after leaving the auction house, one could choose not to wear one.
Xue Qinghe took two masks from the staff, put one on himself, and gave the other to Ye Xi.
As for Ling Yuan, it was completely unnecessary.
After all, no one who dared to rob a Titled Douluo had appeared yet.
Upon entering the auction house, Ye Xi discovered that the layout of the auction house was a radial ring, with circles of seats surrounding it, and a circular stage in the center.
Moreover, the seats in the venue were divided into five areas, each distinguished by five different colors: red, black, purple, yellow, and white.
The red area required one to have one million gold coins and a certain status and position to be seated.
The black area was the ordinary VIP area; as long as one had one million gold coins, one could be seated.
The purple area required one to have five hundred thousand gold coins to be seated.
The yellow area required one hundred thousand gold coins.
The white area was the outermost range and also the largest area, which was where ordinary guests sat.
Xue Qinghe, in his capacity as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, brought Ye Xi and Ling Yuan to sit in the red area of the auction house.
The three had just sat down when a pretty, scantily-clad staff member walked over with a professional smile. In the staff member's hand, she was holding a beautifully crafted tray, and on the tray was a pot of clear tea and several teacups.
