Chapter 366: Chapter 366: This is called acting!

All the people present were dumbstruck, especially Qiu Zixuan and the others. They looked at Jiang Xiaobai as if they had seen a ghost.

Joking aside, with that much money, he was a rich tycoon among the rich tycoons!

You should know, this time the Gu family made such a big fuss. Although there were many treasures involved, the threshold for this auction was only a hundred million top-grade spirit stones.

For large powers, that was nothing. But for some other families, a hundred million top-grade spirit stones was practically all the cash they had.

So, when Jiang Xiaobai announced the amount of money he brought, everyone was so shocked.

Even for Gu Leng’s branch, gathering over two billion top-grade spirit stones would be incredibly difficult, let alone—in all seriousness—this was just Jiang Xiaobai’s pocket money!

After realizing this, the look in Gu Leng and Qiu Zixuan’s eyes when they looked at Jiang Xiaobai slowly became more cautious.

It wasn’t that they had evil intentions towards Jiang Xiaobai, but because Jiang Xiaobai’s demonstrated wealth indicated that the power behind him was not simple.

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t conceal his own cultivation level, which appeared to outsiders to be only at the peak of the Transcendence stage.

So the question arises. Who would feel safe about a person of such a low level, carrying such a vast wealth all by himself?

If they claimed there were no hidden masters in the dark, no one would believe them.

It can be said that Jiang Xiaobai both shocked and pleasantly surprised Gu Leng.

With his status and position, if he could win Jiang Xiaobai over and establish good relations, then Gu Leng’s position within the Gu family might really be able to rise.

For a moment, Gu Leng felt like he had come across a golden opportunity!

“Ahem, Void Prince, there was a bit of a misunderstanding earlier. I indeed have not been hospitable enough. So, as an apology, let me treat you. Let’s go to the best restaurant in Qing Luan City for a meal at noon.”

Gu Leng hurriedly looked at Jiang Xiaobai.

Su Lan was no longer as arrogant and overbearing as she had been, not even daring to look at Jiang Xiaobai as her face reddened, and she wished she could burrow into a hole in the ground.

“No problem, no problem. Of course, that’s fine. I love making friends!”

Jiang Xiaobai burst into laughter.

Seeing that he didn’t care about the misunderstanding, everyone felt relieved, especially Qiu Zixuan and the others. If they had acted like that towards anyone else, they surely would be in big trouble.

But looking at Jiang Xiaobai, hmm, he does seem a bit too naive.

But it’s exactly this kind of naive behavior that doesn’t fit with this sinister world, which makes people even more wary.

There must be a horrifying power behind him, protecting him to such an extent. Since no one dares to scheme against Jiang Xiaobai, why can’t he be naive?

“Um, Young Master Gu Leng, Void Prince, we’ll take our leave first.” Qiu Zixuan hastily gave an awkward smile, not daring to stay there any longer.

Being with these big shots was too exciting, almost too much for her heart to take.

Just as she was about to leave, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly called out.

“Don’t leave. We’re all friends, let’s eat together.”

“Huh?” Qiu Zixuan and the others were stunned.

Friends?

“Did my words just now startle you too much?”

A look of grievance appeared on Jiang Xiaobai’s face: “Don’t be. It’s just a little money, you don’t need to worry about not living up to your status.”

“When I, the Void Prince, make friends, I never care about their money or power. Because no matter how rich they are, they can’t be richer than me, and no matter how powerful they are, they can’t be more powerful than me.”

When Jiang Xiaobai said this, he looked extremely serious.

Everyone present was so shocked that for a moment they didn’t know what to say.

Sir, you really are, ahem, quite candid.

“Hehe, yes, yes. It can be seen that the Void Prince is such a pure and simple person!” Gu Leng gave an awkward smile and casually said.

“Exactly, I am just that simple.” Jiang Xiaobai nodded solemnly.

Everyone was so shocked that they dare not utter another word, fearing that Jiang Xiaobai might drop another bombshell and scare them to death.

Gu Leng quickly arranged for Jiang Xiaobai to walk around the Gu family’s auction house. If he found something he liked, he could just take it without being polite.

Joking aside, this was a great opportunity to win over Jiang Xiaobai, especially when Gu Leng found out that Jiang Xiaobai was so naive—he couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity.

Afterward, Jiang Xiaobai officially started strolling around with Qiu Zixuan and the others, as well as Su Lan.

This time, Qiu Zixuan and the others weren’t as careless as before, even though they knew Jiang Xiaobai was a bit naive and wouldn’t care about the details.

What they were worried about were the people secretly protecting Jiang Xiaobai!

If they upset that hidden master, they would be done for. There would be nowhere to plea for justice even if they died.

For a moment, they all treated Jiang Xiaobai with heaps of respect, especially Su Lan whose understanding of the words ‘sycophantic’ was quite appropriate.

She was able to achieve the best effect of winning somebody over without causing annoyance.

At this time, Jiang Xiaobai was so amused that he could barely contain his laughter.

These people were completely fooled by his acting. Although such acting relied heavily on the assets in his storage ring, the details of Jiang Xiaobai’s performance were spot on.

His expressions, demeanor, speech, and so on.

The devil is in the details, and the assets in the storage ring were just there to support the claim. Everyone became even more convinced of its authenticity.

For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai was thinking about how they would react when they found out the truth.

Especially Gu Leng. The cunning guy and his scheming thoughts. Did he think Jiang Xiaobai would be oblivious?

Now, what Jiang Xiaobai wanted to do was to give Gu Leng hope. The higher his hopes, the more painful it would be when he faced reality.

Create trouble, create trouble. Can it work without causing trouble?

Isn’t this causing trouble right now?

“Void Prince, what do you think of that sword over there? Although classified as a top-tier artifact, its might is immense and due to its material, its actual power is comparable to semi-divine artifacts.”

Su Lan walked beside Jiang Xiaobai, pointing to a sword not far away and laughed lightly.

She appeared casual, and unlike others, wasn’t overly obsequious, yet her actions clearly conveyed that she was trying to please Jiang Xiaobai.

This is the highest realm of pleasing someone!

Jiang Xiaobai knew very well about Su Lan’s prowess in this domain, and could not help but internally acknowledge another skill he’d learned today.

Afterward, they walked up to the sword. To an outsider, it appeared that Jiang Xiaobai was carefully examining the sword, when in reality, he was looking for weaknesses in this Gu family auction house.

If he had a chance, he, of course, wouldn’t mind causing some more trouble here.

But when he turned around and saw a figure not far from him, his eyes almost popped out.
