Chapter 436 Hidden Hand
Upon hearing this, the people around him turned their heads slightly, their gazes towards Ye Ru filled with ill intent.
Everyone present was shrewd. Ye Ru was a citizen of the Yanhuang Kingdom, and he was carrying such a valuable treasure, so naturally many people would have designs on him.
"Oh, how unwise! How unwise!"
Zhang Dong sat down and then sighed.
Star Ape King and the others were all looking at Ye Ru, wanting to see what Ye Ru's next plan was, after all, this matter was too important.
"We should contact the National Holy Academy immediately and ask them to send someone to bring us back. We've offended several holy families."
Zhang Zhi also sighed softly and gripped the armrests of the chair even tighter.
"Mr. Lin, the influence of the Dragon Codex should extend throughout the entire Ten Kingdoms, right?"
At this moment, Ye Ru pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
"Yes, what's wrong? Is there something you need?"
Lin Tianxiao looked at Ye Ru, wanting to know what Ye Ru was planning.
"Hmm, could you help me transport this Daoist scripture back to my country and deliver it to the National Academy of Saints?"
These words were like a thunderclap, immediately causing an uproar in the area.
The other party is willing to pay any price to buy this item because they want to hand it over to the National Holy Academy?
Once handed over to the Holy Academy, these sacred scriptures no longer belong to the donor but to the Academy. Even if the donor wants to view them, they must obtain approval.
Is the other person stupid?
"It's possible, but are you sure? Once you hand it over, according to the standards of the National Holy Academy, this classic text of saints will no longer belong to you."
Lin Tianxiao pondered for a moment, then said seriously.
This was the first time he had ever seen anything like this. The other party had spent such a large sum of money, yet they refused it and instead handed it over directly to the National Holy Academy.
“I know that a country must exist before a family can exist. If we hand it over to the National Saint Academy for research, several half-saints will probably emerge. That’s much better than me trying to comprehend it alone, isn’t that right?”
Ye Ru said with a smile.
The Yanhuang Kingdom is currently in need of talent, and this classic text of the sages is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If it is handed over to the National Academy of Sages and some great scholars are allowed to study it, the chances of them becoming half-sages will be much greater, which would undoubtedly increase the national strength of the Yanhuang Kingdom.
Only when a country's strength increases can its successors improve.
This is the original intention of a scholar.
“What you said is true. According to the usual pawnshop rules, we are not responsible for helping customers transport supplies. However, you have a noble cause, so I can apply for it for you. However, I will not be able to give you a reply until the day after tomorrow. For now, this book of saints and the glass jade must be handed over to you first.”
Lin Tianxiao nodded, deeply moved by the other party's noble spirit, and then solemnly said.
"You didn't even get the Jadeite, you incompetent fool!"
Seeing that he hadn't even gotten his family's glass jade, Shi Tianze looked at Shi Yu and muttered a curse under his breath.
The angry shouts reached Shi Yu's ears, making him even more terrified. Then he suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Ru with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Father, I am incompetent, but I have already identified the target. Just because we can't get it doesn't mean we can't seize it!"
Shi Yu's lips moved slightly, and she spoke in a low, barely audible voice.
"Be careful. I think I know what they're thinking now. They're a very cunning person."
Shi Tianze suddenly realized something, and then his gaze toward Ye Ru became more serious.
With Long Dian's intervention, even if the various holy families wanted to take action, it would be difficult. Only now did he understand the young man's thoughts.
It turns out that the other party didn't intend to use it for themselves, but planned to donate it to the National Holy Academy from the very beginning!
“I understand, he definitely can’t leave. Since we can’t get the Holy Scriptures, let’s get the Jade Glass first.”
Nodding, Shi Yusen said coldly.
The last pawned item was sold, and Lin Tianxiao was clearly in high spirits. He had really made a lot of money this time. He then continued:
"Now that this pawning has come to a successful conclusion, those of you who bid on important items should come to my Dragon Scripture Cabinet, and we will return all the items."
"Humph!"
Lin Tianxiao's words caused those who hadn't won anything to simply turn away and leave with cold faces. Even though they were unhappy, they still didn't dare to cause trouble there.
After all, the Dragon Codex is something even the dragon race fears.
"Chief Ye, your talent is simply divine! First, you used this auction to enhance your literary reputation, and then you entrusted Long Dian to take out this classic of saints. In this way, you can effectively prevent some Jin forces from targeting us. It's truly brilliant."
Zhang Dong understood Ye Ru's intentions, then clapped his hands and said.
"Don't be too happy yet. They won't give up so easily. At least, these family heads won't take action, but that doesn't stop these aristocratic family disciples from taking action."
Ye Ru shook his head, a cold glint in his eyes, then stood up and walked toward the exit. Behind him, Star Ape King and the others hesitated for a moment, then followed closely behind.
With the conclusion of this Dragon Ceremony, the entire capital was enveloped in a festive atmosphere. However, some people could vaguely sense that beneath this joyous scene lay a tense undercurrent of conflict.
And the target of these tense confrontations was none other than Ye Ru!
After the auction ended, Ye Ru and the others each received their own items.
"What do we do now?"
Zhang Dong looked at Ye Ru and said that after Ye Ru pointed it out, he also knew that the Zhong Sheng Family would not let him take these two items away safely, and they would probably make a move tonight.
"Don't rush, let's wait and see. They want our things, and we want theirs too."
Ye Ru smiled and said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dong and the others all gasped, then smacked their lips. Ye Ru's audacity was beyond their comprehension; he actually intended to attack the people of Jin in Jin's own stronghold.
"Okay, I see."
After a moment, Zhang Dong and the others nodded, and without further hesitation, they headed towards the Qian family's residence.
Time passed quickly, and evening arrived. The entire Qian family fell into silence.
On a distant rooftop, four men in black leaped into the Qian family's house. After observing for a moment, they rushed directly towards where Ye Ru was.
At the same time, Ye Ru suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, then looked out the window, a cold smile playing on his lips. A soft voice then escaped his lips and lingered gently in his ear.
"You've come at the right time. Since you're here, just hand over the Xuan Turtle Pill obediently..."
