Chapter 20 Undercurrents
Xiao Zhan was silent for a long time, obviously unwilling to give up this hard-earned soul bone, but there was no better way at the moment.
"Hmph... Even if I want to sell it, I will never sell it to that waste Yu Xiaogang. Doesn't he want to bully others? Then I will completely muddy the waters!"
Then, he said to Lin Xiao: "Lin Xiao, do me a favor and contact Notting Auction House to publicly auction this soul bone in a month."
Lin Xiao nodded: "Okay, this is also a way. As long as other people can obtain it through formal channels, they will not take risks.
But Principal, Notting City will be full of good and bad people by then, you have to be careful and guard against it."

After the two discussed some details, Lin Xiao said goodbye and left. When he walked out of the school gate, he saw Tang San and Xiao Wu seemed to be waiting for him.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally walked over!
"Tang San, since you chose to inform me, why didn't you stop it at the beginning, but waited until it was impossible to stop it!"
Hearing Lin Xiao's questioning, Tang San knew that he was in the wrong, and had to explain helplessly:
"Yu Xiaogang is my teacher after all, and I will naturally not stop what he decides.
However, the principal also taught me, and I told you now, at least it can save his life, right?"
Looking at Tang San who was justifying himself, Lin Xiao wanted to kill him now and put an end to it. But thinking that Tang Hao might be watching in some corner at this time, he had to put this idea aside for the time being.
"Tang San, I believe that you have learned some of Yu Xiaogang's deeds in the past two years and understand his character.
I hope you can distinguish right from wrong. Yu Xiaogang is just using you as an experimental subject for his theory, or even a tool to help him become famous.
At least you reminded me this time, and I will not do anything to you. If you are still so stubborn in the future, we will be enemies!"
After saying that, he left without looking back. Xiao Wu wanted to follow her, but was stopped by Lin Xiao's eyes.
After this incident, Lin Xiao has decided to remind Xiao Wu, but it is not the right time at this critical period.
Tang San looked at the gradually receding back, and his mind was already full of thoughts!
He said to himself: "Lin Xiao, I also know the fact that Yu Xiaogang is a waste, but what can I do? Once a teacher, always a father.
What's more, my father also asked me to follow him well, whether it is a tool or an experimental product. I was an orphan in my previous life. I finally have a relative. I will listen to what my father says."
After leaving Notting College, Lin Xiao went directly to the auction house.
With his and Xiao Zhan's prestige in Notting City, the auction house did not even ask to see the authenticity of the soul bone first, and directly finalized the auction.
Once the news came out, it quickly swept the entire Tiandou Empire. All forces heard the news and moved, and Notting City became a place where wind and clouds gathered for a while.
Lin Xiao knew that Xiao Zhan was generous, but he didn't think much. Therefore, he had to take charge of all matters related to the auction .
In order to ensure that the auction could proceed smoothly, Lin Xiao chose to live directly in the auction house and devote himself to dealing with various forces.
More than 20 days later, Lin Xiao's temporary residence.
He had just sent off the deacon of Fengjian Sect, one of the four sects, and had not yet sat down to rest when the director of the auction house hurried over.
"Master Lin, the outer sect deacon of Qibao Liuli Sect "Ning Bufan" and the Marquis of Tiandou Empire "Su Qianxue" have arrived at the auction house and asked to meet with you."
Lin Xiao rubbed his tired forehead and sighed in his heart:
"Dealing with people is really more tiring than practicing."
He certainly understood the intentions of these people - they just wanted to ensure that everything was foolproof before the auction and tried to buy the soul bones in advance.
However, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and deal with the major forces. After all, whether it was himself now or Xiao Zhan, they seemed too small in front of these behemoths.
Lin Xiao said helplessly to the supervisor:
"Let's go, these two forces are not trivial, we will go to greet them in person."
Soon, Lin Xiao and the auction house supervisor arrived at the door of the auction house. A group of people were seen walking slowly towards this side, led by a middle-aged man and woman with extraordinary temperament.
The supervisor whispered to the side: "Master Lin, these two are the outer sect steward Ning Bufan of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Marquis Su Qianxue of the Heaven Dou Empire. Both of them are powerful soul kings."
After listening, Lin Xiao was not vague, and his etiquette and temperament were perfectly controlled. He immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"Lin Xiao greets Steward Ning and Lord Su. Tea has been prepared in the room. Please move over and have a chat."
Ning Bufan and Su Qianxue did not respond immediately, but looked at Lin Xiao deeply, as if they wanted to see through him.
Lin Xiao was a little uncomfortable being stared at, and when he didn't know how to respond, the two smiled at each other and nodded.
"Haha, Young Master Lin is indeed extraordinary." Ning Bufan laughed heartily, with a bit of appreciation in his tone, "Let's go, let's go inside and talk in detail."

Lin Xiao was secretly puzzled. The attitude of these two people seemed different from that of other forces. It seemed that they were coming for him.
But from their expressions, it seemed that they had no ill intentions. He was slightly relieved and respectfully led the two to the reception room of the auction house.
When everyone was seated, Su Qianxue spoke first.
"My dear Lin, although we are also interested in soul bones when we come here this time, with the financial resources of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire, it is not difficult for us to auction soul bones normally.
So we will not ask you to do anything difficult, you can rest assured."
Lin Xiao felt relieved when he heard this, but still had some doubts, so he asked respectfully:
"Then I wonder what instructions the two seniors have for you this time? If there is anything that Lin Xiao needs to do, please let me know. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"
Su Qianxue smiled slightly, took out an exquisite document from her arms, and handed it to Lin Xiao.
"Friend Lin, your name 'Master Lin' has been spread to Tiandou Imperial City through the mouth of Lord Notting. Your talent and ability have long attracted the attention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
This is the Baron's appointment letter of the Tiandou Empire. I am here to present it to you on the order of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. From today on, you are a noble of my Tiandou Empire."
Before Lin Xiao could speak, Ning Bufan on the side hurriedly interrupted and said,
"Friend Lin, there is also my Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. The Sect Master Ning Fengzhi specifically asked me to invite you to join the sect and become our core disciple."
Su Qianxue heard this and glared at Ning Bufan in displeasure.
"Ning Bufan, are you trying to snatch someone from me, or is the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect trying to snatch someone from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"I dare not... I dare not, Xue'er has the final say." Ning Bufan returned to his seat with a helpless look on his face, as if he was very afraid of Su Qianxue!
Seeing this, Lin Xiao laughed in his heart: "It seems that the relationship between these two people is extraordinary. Ning Bufan seems to be a henpecked man. It's really interesting."
