Chapter 435 Pawning Success
"Now, whether it's the Confucius family or any other family, let's not worry about how many pages of the sage's book there are. Let's see who can get their hands on this classic text of all the sages."
Lü Liang said in a deep voice.
"You can only blame your Xun family for being incompetent; you have no one else to blame."
Meng Wanmin, the head of the Meng Sheng family, snorted coldly and spoke without any mercy.
"The families of Xunzi and Confucius really start fighting as soon as they meet. Xunzi's theory of the inherent goodness of human nature and Mencius's theory of the inherent evil of human nature have truly poisoned the minds of later generations."
With a sigh, Ye Ru gave a cold laugh and said.
They are all from families of saints; as long as they can promote their ideals and achieve world harmony, other theoretical disputes are not very important.
Just like the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, if they can merge, then they must have something in common. There's no need for both sides to become so tense.
"Ten sacred pages."
Han Qichao of the Han Sheng family spoke in a low voice, which drew everyone's attention to that direction.
"It's getting more and more interesting."
Ye Ru sneered. A mere copy of the Daoist Scripture had attracted countless family heads. If he were to interfere here, it would inevitably cause turmoil in the entire literary world of Jin, and his own literary reputation would also rise.
If one's reputation improves, others who want to harm them will have to think twice before acting, since different aristocratic families have different methods of attack.
"What? Brother Ye, you want to steal this too?"
Seemingly startled by Ye Ru's smile, Qian Wensong whispered.
Those present were all heads of the various holy families. Ye Ru's involvement inevitably drew their attention here. He had already offended Shi Yu and his group, and the other party was from the Yanhuang Kingdom.
If we were to take action, even ten Ye Rus wouldn't be enough.
"Let's take a look first."
Ye Ru shrugged and said.
"Ten holy pages are probably not enough to exchange for this classic text of saints; fifteen holy pages will suffice."
Shi Tianze of the Shi family pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said in a deep voice.
Many members of wealthy families fell silent upon witnessing this scene, as the other party was a powerful and influential family, whose wealth and resources were incomparable to theirs.
"Fifteen pieces, your Shi Sheng family is indeed quite domineering."
Lü Liang took a deep breath and then said, "The value of a Holy Page is immeasurable. The other party has suddenly increased the price to fifteen Holy Pages. They've gone mad."
Exchanging fifteen sacred pages for a single classic text of saints, which has only a chance of being comprehended, is a gamble with extremely high odds.
The time went on for quite a while, and no one spoke. It was clear that the Shi family had intimidated everyone else.
"Anyone want to pay more?"
Lin Tianxiao looked at the heads of various aristocratic families and then said with a smile.
"Fifteen sacred pages, plus one sacred leaf from the ancient tree of the sacred path."
At this moment, a faint voice rang out, startling many people. They looked around, but when they saw that the bidder was a young man of eighteen or nineteen, a look of shock appeared on their faces.
"Which aristocratic family does this kid belong to? How come he has such a grand gesture?"
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Ye Ru, a sense of doubt rising in their hearts.
"Why are you wearing clothes from the Yanhuang Kingdom? Do you really think we, the Jin Kingdom, can come and go as we please?"
Lü Liang frowned slightly, his gaze lingering on Ye Ru.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Ru's expression remained unchanged. He merely glanced down at the crowd, then bowed slightly before slowly saying:
"Esteemed heads of noble families, I have come to the Yanhuang Kingdom to participate in the Scholars' Gathering. Today, I have come here specifically to find treasures. Everything will be acquired according to one's means. I hope none of you will object. If anyone can offer a higher price than me, then I will simply give up. What do you say?"
"You, a mere scholar, do you really have fifteen sacred pages? A noble family is lucky to have ten sacred pages. I don't believe it. Besides, the Yanhuang Kingdom is just a barbarian country, and it distributes very few sacred pages to begin with, let alone one person like you."
Shi Tianze curled his lip and said with a calm, mocking expression.
"Yes, young man, in our Dragon Code, if you intentionally make a false statement, no matter what country you are from, you will be subject to our Dragon Code's sanctions. I see you are still young, and if you withdraw, it's not too late. I'll give you one chance, otherwise, it will be too late later."
Lin Tianxiao frowned slightly, clearly not believing that Ye Ru had so many treasures.
"Chief Ye, what do you want to do?"
Zhang Dong was also anxious and quickly whispered that he knew that wealth should not be flaunted, and that Ye Ru taking out so many sacred pages in front of so many people would obviously attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives. At that time, even if they wanted to leave, they would probably have a hard time getting away.
"Yes, I originally wanted to send you off quietly, how did it turn out like this? Brother Ye, have you gone mad?"
Qian Wensong's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant, and he said.
If that's the case, Ye Ru won't be able to get out at all.
After all, the sages and noble families of Jin would never willingly let him fall into the hands of their mortal enemy, the Yanhuang Kingdom.
"Don't worry, I have my own measure."
Ye Ru turned his head and slowly spoke to everyone, then looked at Shi Tianze, and after a while said:
"Since you patriarchs don't believe I have these things, I'll show them to you."
After he finished speaking, Ye Ru waved his hand, and a beam of light suddenly appeared from between his eyebrows. Finally, fifteen holy pages surrounded him, illuminating the dim hall with extraordinary clarity.
At the same time, a sacred leaf from the ancient sacred tree floated in front of him.
The light emitted by this sacred leaf was extremely rich, and the emerald green light carried a healing aura that made people feel very comfortable.
"Is this enough?"
While everyone was stunned, Ye Ru waved his hand again, and the two priceless items disappeared once more.
"I didn't expect this guy to actually have so many Holy Pages... I'll give up."
Lü Liang waved his hand first, saying with extreme frustration, and then left. The Meng family and others also gave a wry smile and gave up on the pawning.
To their surprise, they did not lose to the Holy Clan, but to a young man from the Yanhuang Kingdom in their own territory.
Where do they put their faces?
Moreover, after this pawning ends, more people may recognize this person, making it difficult to take advantage of him, given his reputation.
"call."
Shi Tianze also let out a sigh of relief, but his expression was clearly not good. After a long while, he slowly said:
"We historians also give up."
Hearing this, Lin Tianxiao nodded, then looked at Ye Ru:
"The winner of this pawnbroking is this young man from the Yanhuang Kingdom."
