CHAPTER 1170: CHAPTER 1170: WE MUST GO NOW!

"How can this old man repay Young Master Qin’s kindness?"

Hong Qingya was shocked to the core.

Clearly, he hadn’t expected Qin Chen to be willing to help him.

He knew very well Qin Chen’s strength; though Kong’s Bank is strong, can they be stronger than Zhao Xiongmo?

Even Zhao Xiongmo perished at Qin Chen’s hand.

The likes of Kong’s Bank are naturally not worth mentioning.

But, he has no personal relationship with Qin Chen!

"If Elder Hong insists on repayment, then after this matter is resolved, join Yiu’s Chamber of Commerce." Qin Chen said with a smile.

"Ah?"

Hong Qingya was momentarily stunned.

Joining Yiu’s Chamber of Commerce to repay kindness?

Isn’t this repayment a great opportunity from the heavens?

Who wouldn’t want to join Yiu’s Chamber of Commerce?

The likes of Yiu’s Chamber of Commerce, a ruler rich as a nation, is absolutely the place Hong Qingya dreams of joining!

"Since Elder Hong could single-handedly establish Green Cliff Auction House, and that too within the Imperial City."

"So I believe in Elder Hong’s strength."

"Joining Yiu’s Chamber of Commerce, I believe will be your moment to shine." Qin Chen said with a smile.

"The kindness of Young Master Qin, Hong Qingya... will never forget for eternity!!!" Hong Qingya expressed with gratitude.

Thump! Thump!

At this time, those eight young men and women also knelt down, full of gratitude:

"Thank you, Young Master Qin!"

"Many thanks to Young Master Qin!!!"

To them, they had no means to express their gratitude to Qin Chen.

"A mere trifle, it’s nothing." Qin Chen shook his head.

With a wave of telekinesis, he helped these people up from the ground.

"Where are the people of Kong’s Bank now?"

Qin Chen looked towards Hong Qingya.

"Young Master Qin, are you perhaps planning to go now?" There was a trace of hesitation on Hong Qingya’s face.

"Of course." Qin Chen nodded without thinking.

"But—" Hong Qingya was full of indecision.

"But what? Is there any difference between going now and later?" Qin Chen raised an eyebrow.

"To tell the truth."

"From what I know, the people of Kong’s Bank are now holding a grand auction at my Green Cliff Auction House."

"And this auction has attracted many big names; Young Master Qin, if you rush in recklessly, it might not be worth it."

"Especially, a grand Three-Sect Martial Gathering is about to be held at the Moon Howling Heavenly Sect, one of the Five-star Sects; all three Five-star Sects have strong figures in attendance."

"So I think, Young Master Qin, it’s better to wait a day; it won’t be too late to go after the auction ends." Hong Qingya advised.

"You just mentioned the three Five-star Sects?" Qin Chen’s eyes immediately fixed.

"Yes, namely Moon Howling Heavenly Sect, Burning Moon Nether Sect, and Spirit Heart Hall, these three Five-star Sects of the Great Origin Dynasty."

"The Three Sects hold the Three-Sect Martial Gathering once every five years to hone the talents within the Sects."

"And in three days, it’s the day for another Three-Sect Martial Gathering."

"The venue for the Three-Sect Martial Gathering rotates among the sect territories, and this time, it’s at Moon Howling Heavenly Sect’s territory."

"The sect lands of Moon Howling Heavenly Sect are not far from East Emperor City."

"The auction hosted by Kong’s Bank is massive, so many strong figures from the Three Sects are attending this auction." Hong Qingya explained.

"Then I must go!"

"And I must go now!" A hint of coldness flashed in Qin Chen’s eyes.

After emerging from the Telekinesis Origin Realm, he originally intended to wipe out the Three Sects and then return to the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect to complete his mission.

Yet unexpectedly, Zhao Xiongmo’s situation arose.

With only nine days until the Shadow Ancestor’s emergence, and the Three-Sect Martial Gathering occurring in three days.

Qin Chen could complete the Saint Son Trial first.

Moreover, at that time, the strong figures of the Three Sects will gather together.

For Qin Chen, it’s naturally an excellent opportunity.

Let the day of the Three-Sect Martial Gathering be the time of the Three Sects’ destruction!

"Ah?"

Hong Qingya looked at Qin Chen in shock.

Clearly, he hadn’t expected, after saying so much.

Qin Chen still decided to go now.

"Come on!"

Qin Chen called out.

Immediately, a servant ran in from outside the reception room.

"Find something for these eight young people to do, and arrange their accommodation properly." Qin Chen ordered.

"Yes!"

The servant looked curiously at the eight young men and women in the reception room, then respectfully nodded.

Currently, in the Imperial City Telekinesis Master Association, although Wen Tengqi is the president.

Qin Chen’s words carry just as much weight as Wen Tengqi’s.

With Qin Chen’s say-so, as long as the Imperial City Telekinesis Master Association stands, these eight will be protected for their lifetimes.

"Off you go."

Hong Qingya smiled at the eight youngsters he had watched grow up, filled with reluctance and happiness.

"Thank you, Elder Hong, for nurturing us!"

"Thank you, Young Master Qin, for protecting us!"

The eight youths bowed to Qin Chen in gratitude, then departed.

Hong Qingya watched them leave until they disappeared from sight, then Qin Chen spoke.

"Let’s go, Elder Hong."

Upon hearing this, Hong Qingya’s eyes suddenly turned sharp, taking a deep breath, he nodded.

...

Green Cliff Auction House.

After Kong’s Bank’s integration, Green Cliff Auction House was thoroughly renamed.

The large plaque had already been switched to Kong’s Auction House.

And presently, outside Kong’s Auction House, numerous guards in Kong-marked attire were patrolling.

Security was tight.

No one could have imagined.

Just yesterday, this place had witnessed a brutal massacre.

In reality, if one looked carefully, it was not hard to see some remnants of blood stains in certain corners.

And inside the auction house, a massive auction was taking place.

All attendees were influential figures invited by Kong’s Bank.

This auction, though called an auction, was more about Kong’s Bank’s network expansion.

East Emperor City was merely the first move of Kong’s Bank’s strategy to advance into the Imperial City.

Under such tight security, no ordinary person would dare approach.

The captain of this guard team, named Wang Jie, was an elder within Kong’s Bank.

The person Hong Qingya mentioned wanting to molest the maids of Green Cliff Auction House was him.

At this moment, he was lazily sitting in a recliner next to the entrance of Kong’s Bank, comfortably enjoying a sunbath.

By now, the storm had long subsided, and the sun was shining over East Emperor City.

"Stop!!!"

At this time, two uninvited guests appeared from nowhere, attempting to walk straight into the auction house, causing several guards to intercept them.

Upon hearing the commotion, Wang Jie stood up from the recliner.

As soon as he saw the arrivals, a sneer appeared in his eyes.

"I wondered who it was, turned out to be this old fellow..."

The arrivals were none other than Qin Chen and Hong Qingya!
