Chapter 530: Humiliating People
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“The reality is that this is a poor and remote place. Why should anyone make a big deal out of it?”
Yu Zinan remained completely fearless.
Even if the Emperor of Chengyuan Kingdom were here, he would still dare to say such words.
The two Tianjing people had no knowledge of his identity, but upon hearing him repeatedly disparage Tianjing, they became extremely irritated and rolled up their sleeves, ready for a fight.
Seeing that the situation was turning unfavorable, the people from the auction house hurriedly went inside to find Lu Bainian.
This charity auction was initiated by Gu Qingluan and the Crown Prince, and they chose to hold it at Lushi Auction House as a sign of their trust in the Lushi Chamber of Commerce. Lu Bainian absolutely did not want any unexpected incidents to occur.
Therefore, he remained on high alert at all times and was prepared to handle various emergencies.
As soon as he heard that there was a conflict outside the gate, he rushed out to deal with it.
However, he didn’t expect to see someone who shouldn’t be here.
“F…Fourth Master Yu, what are you doing here?”
Yu Zinan didn’t expect anyone here to recognize him. He raised his eyes and looked at the person who had spoken, a handsome young man with somewhat familiar features.
Upon seeing that Yu Zinan didn’t recognize him, Lu Bainian introduced himself, “1 am Lu Bainian, a member of the peripheral branch of the Lu family.
1 had the privilege of visiting the Holy Capital once and had the opportunity to meet you.”
At that time, Lu Bainian was still young, and his parents were still alive. He visited the Holy Capital once and had seen Yu Zinan at the Lushi Auction House.
His gaze shifted slightly as he noticed the woman standing next to Yu Zinan.
She wore a veil that concealed her face, revealing only a pair of clear and enchanting eyes, radiating an icy and peerless beauty.
Lu Bainian’s eyes paused for a moment. Could this woman be…
“Oh, so you’re from the peripheral branch of the Lu family,” Yu Zinan replied indifferently after learning of Lu Bainian’s identity.
If it had been a member of the main branch of the Lu family standing here, he might have shown a bit more courtesy. But since it was someone from the peripheral branch, he couldn’t be bothered much.
The two individuals who had clashed with Zinan earlier, upon witnessing the change in attitude towards the newcomers, felt a sense of unease in their hearts.
“Could it be that this kid has some extraordinary background?”
The two of them exchanged a glance, feeling uneasy.
Originally, they were just upset, but now that they suspected the newcomer might have some significant backing, they didn’t want to cause trouble. They planned to quietly leave.
However, Yu Zinan had no intention of letting them off the hook.
“Both of you, stop right there!”
The two of them halted their steps towards the auction house’s entrance.
“What did you say earlier? Did you want to teach me a lesson?”
Yu Zinan crossed his arms and strolled leisurely towards them.
Lu Bainian quickly followed, smiling and saying, “It’s a misunderstanding, all just a misunderstanding.”
He discreetly exchanged glances with the two individuals.
One came from the Zhao family, and the other from the Qian family, both second-tier noble families in Tianjing. In front of the Yu family, they were like ants before a giant elephant.
Seeing Lu Bainian’s attitude, they understood that this person was not to be trifled with. They received his signal and, despite their resentment, offered apologies to Yu Zinan.
However, Yu Zinan was not willing to let it go so easily. He demanded that they kneel and apologize, acknowledge that they were country bumpkins, and then leave without entering the auction house. He didn’t want to see them again.
The two of them were furious and their eyes filled with anger. “You’re Yu Zinan, right? Don’t push your luck too far!”
Yu Zinan nonchalantly shifted his weight onto his left foot, with his right foot slightly forward, exuding a smug demeanor. “So what if 1 push my luck? Hurry up and kneel down. I don’t have the patience to waste any more time with you!”
This time, the onlookers couldn’t hold back.
“They weren’t in the wrong at all! It was clearly you who looked down on them first!”
If it weren’t for his arrogant and overbearing attitude, the heads of the Zhao and Qian families wouldn’t have argued with him.
They didn’t expect this young man to be so outrageous; he was humiliating others too much!
