Chapter 55 - 53: The Eldest Apprentice Brother
"Big Brother!"
"Big Brother, do you have any business coming here today?" The sword cultivators on duty at the gates of Flying Sword City looked at Ye Qiu with faces full of admiration and asked respectfully.
Ye Qiu stopped in his tracks and nodded at them: "Is there an auction happening in the city recently?"
"Yes, I heard that Liuyun Trading Company got a lot of good stuff from some secret realm, and they’re going to hold an auction this afternoon. If Big Brother wants to check it out, you can get a ticket from the manager."
"Okay, got it. Thanks for your hard work."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. We bid farewell to Big Brother." That person’s mouth split into a wide smile from Ye Qiu’s greeting. Perhaps others didn’t know, but in the eyes of these low-level disciples, Big Brother held an exceedingly high status!
Ye Qiu got two tickets from the manager, and when he and Chen Qingchi walked to the entrance of the auction house, he saw Shun Hua leading a little girl about seven or eight years old also standing in line.
Although the girl was still a child, one could already tell from her palm-sized face that she would grow up to be remarkable.
"Elder Brother," Ye Qiu approached and looked at the little girl, asking, "Whom has Elder Brother taken under his wing?"
"Little Junior Brother, you’re back!" Shun Hua said with a face full of surprise, patting Ye Qiu’s shoulder: "You’ve grown taller, and your cultivation has also advanced. Good, very good!"
