Chapter 448: Chapter 224: Auction House! The End of the Dream Weaver’s Dream! (Part 2)

"By the way, I remember you should have a Supervisor Hou here before?" Ye Mingqiu suddenly asked.

"Yes, but he made some mistakes earlier, and then got demoted." The supervisor replied with a smile.

"Really?"

Ye Mingqiu frowned slightly and glanced at Tang Ruobing beside him, as if asking:

Does this have anything to do with you?

"Eh hey?"

Tang Ruobing smiled and blinked, feeling like she secretly did something bad and got caught. Supervisor Hou’s dismissal was indeed related to her.

That day, after Ye Mingqiu returned, he handed over the Spiritual Points and trade-related items to her. Tang Ruobing felt something wasn’t right, possibly because something had happened that stirred emotions.

So, Tang Ruobing deployed her exclusive traditional skill, detective-style unboxing, quickly locating the Floating World Commerce Association within a short period, and analyzed its history through various clues. Once everything was almost completely confirmed, she ultimately used her means to demote Supervisor Hou.

She knew very well that what she did was not considered righteous, and was even rather evil, being a true bad woman in essence.

But there was no helping it; she’s just that kind of person, a girl with obvious flaws.

"Um..."

Ye Mingqiu smiled helplessly and then said, "Don’t do that next time."

"Okay, I won’t do that next time."

"...Alright then."

"Hehe."

Tang Ruobing laughed happily. Although Ye Mingqiu didn’t explicitly say it, he was undoubtedly indulging her, allowing for a next time. Indeed... he’s not a good person either, very nice.

Nearby, the newly appointed supervisor shook with fear, having overheard something he probably shouldn’t have, now nervous to the extreme, afraid of following in Supervisor Hou’s footsteps.

He was as tense as a punished schoolboy, standing straight with a trademark smile on his face, not daring to show even a hint of slackness, as fine sweat flowed down his cheeks, with his heart pounding as if it would leap out of his throat.

"It’s okay, you just lead the way, we were just joking around." Tang Ruobing smiled and said.

"Okay, esteemed guests, do you have any particular preferences? Would you like tea or a fruit platter? We can prepare all of that for you." The new supervisor asked respectfully.

Although he knew the content of their conversation might not be true, the issue was, he dared not gamble. If he bet wrong, it would be his future on the line.

Faced with the second place in the Celestial Ladder Ranking, it’s never too cautious, if they just wanted to amuse themselves with him, this approach might fit their mindset and thus avoid further trouble.

It’s not stupidity that’s terrifying, but arrogance disguised as wisdom, pretending to be superior.

....

Soon, under the new supervisor’s guidance, the two arrived at the highest standard private room. The room’s layout was very luxurious, with a large screen horizontally placed, allowing them to view the auction items closely through the camera.

And the window in the room was adjustable, allowing for the freedom to choose whether to let people outside see inside. The floor-to-ceiling windows had the ability to isolate energy, aiding in protecting the privacy of those inside to a certain extent.

"Do you need anything else? If you need staff support, I can provide some help here." The new supervisor said with a smile.

"No need, just the two of us will be fine."

Tang Ruobing replied.

She didn’t want a third party in their room; it was perfect as it was.

After the supervisor left, Ye Mingqiu sat on the sofa and chuckled, "He didn’t even verify our assets. Is he that afraid of us?"

"Indeed, the Celestial Ladder Ranking has more weight than you think, at least on the surface. They absolutely dare not offend me. Even if I took the items without paying and left, they wouldn’t do anything to me." Tang Ruobing answered with a smile.

Reaching the Celestial Ladder Ranking and achieving a pretty good rank indicates that this Spiritualist must have a sufficiently strong talent and strength, possibly even advancing to Tier Two at any time.

The second-ranked Spiritualist in the Celestial Ladder advancing to Tier Two could easily sweep ordinary Tier Two in such a small place; most Spiritualists are not opponents.

More importantly, the world has both the Spirit Realm and tools for early entry. As long as there are tools to prevent interruption, you can easily enter the Spirit Realm, advancing and counter-killing stronger Spiritualists than yourself.

Under such circumstances, no one dares to easily offend the Spiritualists ranked high in the Celestial Ladder. Even if you want to make a move, it can’t be done openly.

At the very least, you can’t get caught!

"I see..."

Ye Mingqiu looked at his title of No.1 in the Celestial Ladder Ranking, feeling like this title seemed more pleasing, a bit more useful than anticipated.

He continued to ask, "Do you know what good items will be up for auction this time?"

"I don’t know, but I heard from my family that there should be some pretty good things." Tang Ruobing said, showing an incredibly excited expression. She continued, "Oh, right, do you know? My dad soared in the Dream Weaver’s dreamscape."

"How so?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"The Dream Weaver’s dreamscape is special, each one is different, and this special dreamscape was to summon heroes based on keywords and inner thoughts, conducting trials with your hero."

"Earlier, you gave me the keyword, Lord of Light and Shadow, and then I gave this keyword to my dad. He successfully summoned a top-tier hero, the Lord of Light and Shadow, with it."
