Chapter 1317: It’s All a Misunderstanding

Mo Xingyuan muttered to himself.

He and Xiao Fan had once shared a sedan chair; back then, the weather was sweltering, and Mo Xingyuan had summoned two Demon Race Geniuses to fan him.

At that time, Mo Xingyuan had been in this exact same leisurely posture…

He suspected that Xiao Fan was imitating him!!

He certainly recognized his own signature pose and style.

In fact… he was right…

Xiao Fan's current arrogant pose, with his legs crossed, his left arm around Zhangsun Ning, his right hand munching on a spirit fruit, and someone fanning him from behind…

He really was subconsciously learning from Mo Xingyuan…

Since he had taken on a new identity, Xiao Fan felt he had to act differently than before.

I have to say… it was actually quite comfortable.

"The next auction item: Sun-Severing Poison Crystal, starting price…"

"500…"

"Wait!"

Just as Taishi Yan finished announcing the item and Xiao Fan was about to call out his bid!

Mo Xingyuan suddenly stood up to stop him.

"???" Xiao Fan was stunned.

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

Taishi Yan was also stunned…

Yun Lou, Ox Ghost King, Yi Tuo, Long Miaoyin, and the others were all stunned as well.

They all turned their gazes toward Mo Xingyuan, curious about what this fellow was up to.

"Cough… well, Brother Xiao… this Sun-Severing Poison Crystal is of great use to me. I wonder if you could let me have it?" Mo Xingyuan said with a smile.

This Sun-Severing Poison Crystal was indeed of great use to him.

It was one of the things he valued most coming into this auction.

"Hmm… sure," Xiao Fan said with a faint smile. "Then I'll give you this Face and won't bid this round."

"Many thanks!"

Mo Xingyuan cupped his fists in greeting, a sly smile appearing on his Face.

He had guessed that the other party was most likely Xiao Fan.

Otherwise, why would he stop bidding?

And even give him Face?

"Then… the bidding will continue… the starting price is 500 million, with each bid increment no less than 10 million," Taishi Yan said, needing a moment to adjust before he could speak.

"1 billion!"

Mo Xingyuan spoke immediately.

He had already made his stance clear.

Alias also stopped bidding because of Mo Xingyuan…

Although Ox Ghost King, Yun Lou, Yi Tuo, and the others also had some interest in the Sun-Severing Poison Crystal.

They knew very well that speaking up now would just be inviting humiliation.

Furthermore, that Alias might decide to join the bidding as well…

In the end, they wouldn't get the item and would even offend Mo Xingyuan… it wasn't worth it.

"Mo Xingyuan, 1 billion, going once!"

"Mo Xingyuan, 1 billion, going twice!"

"Mo Xingyuan, 1 billion, going three times!"

"Sold!!"

Finally, the Sun-Severing Poison Crystal successfully went to Mo Xingyuan…

"Many thanks, Brother Xiao…"

After the successful bid, Mo Xingyuan bowed to Xiao Fan with cupped fists once more.

That tone… was exactly the same as how he used to address Xiao Fan.

"This fellow…" Xiao Fan muttered and chuckled.

He estimated that this fellow had most likely guessed his identity.

But it didn't really matter…

Even if his identity were exposed, as long as Xiao Fan stubbornly refused to admit it, who would have any evidence to prove he was Xiao Fan?!

The bidding continued…

After Xiao Fan won three more treasures at the price of 5 billion,

"Meridian-Sealing Demon Flame… starting price…"

"500…"

"Wait!"

This time, the one who stood up was not Mo Xingyuan.

It was Little Demon Lord Yun Lou…

Xiao Fan: "???"

He thought to himself, why is this fellow standing up?

Was he even close with him?

After standing up, Yun Lou cupped his fists toward Xiao Fan and said with a smile, "Brother Xiao… I am Yun Lou, the son of the Demon Lord. This Meridian-Sealing Demon Flame is of great use to me… I hope Your Excellency can give me some Face and let me have this treasure, how about it?!"

"Uh…"

Xiao Fan was stunned.

Was this Yun Lou an idiot?

But considering his future plans…

Xiao Fan decided to endure it for now.

"Sure… then I'll let Brother Yun have it," Xiao Fan said with a faint smile.

"Many thanks," Yun Lou was delighted.

This guy really was easy to talk to.

There was no reason for him to give Face to the Devil King's grandson but not to the Demon Lord's son…

Mo Xingyuan was stunned… he scratched his head.

"Could I have guessed wrong?"

If it were the real Xiao Fan, how could he possibly give Face to Yun Lou?

Ox Ghost King's eyes lit up, and Yi Tuo beside him felt the same…

Although there had been some friction before,

It seemed this Alias wasn't that difficult to talk to…

They also planned to give it a try later.

Three rounds later…

"Crimson Sun Feather… starting price…"

"500…"

"Wait!"

Ox Ghost King stood up, cupped his fists toward Xiao Fan, and said politely, "Brother Xiao… what happened before was all a misunderstanding. This Crimson Sun Feather is of great use to me, I wonder if…"

"Hmm… I'll let you have it!"

Xiao Fan hesitated slightly before waving his hand and agreeing.

"Many thanks, many thanks!" Ox Ghost King was overjoyed.

He even felt that Alias was a pretty good guy…

So what if he had eaten some of his clansmen's flesh?

It was no big deal.

It wasn't his own flesh being eaten, after all…

Similarly, Yi Tuo also had this thought in his mind.

"The next auction item… Void-Piercing Jade Bone, starting price…"

"500…"

"Wait!"

Yi Tuo stood up immediately and bowed to Xiao Fan with cupped fists. "Brother Xiao, what happened just now was all a misunderstanding… I wonder if…"

Xiao Fan sized up Yi Tuo as if he were looking at an idiot.
