The secretary's arrival diffused the tense atmosphere at the scene, and Jin Yang also found an easy way out.
"Hmph, kid, you're lucky this time!" Jin Yang glared at Ye Fan, throwing out a threat before turning his resentful gaze towards Su Yixue, "Su Yixue, you better not regret your decision today! Dare to refuse me, Jin Yang, I guarantee you won't get your medicinal production quota today... And then, what does it matter if you have a peerless beauty ointment? If you can't produce it, don't come begging me..."
Jin Yang coldly stared at Su Yixue, looking like he was sure of his victory.
For today's pharmaceutical quota, Jin Yang had spent a fortune to bring back two treasures from the Realm. According to the expert, both were imbued with a rich, ancient aura... Moreover, the most crucial point was that Jin Yang got wind of a secret through various channels.
That was, the antiques that Yu Qiang had taken a liking to were all pulsating with a mystical, ancient aura.
And the ones without that ancient aura, Yu Qiang directly passed on!
Just now, Jin Yang noticed that the two antiques Su Yixue brought, although they had the ancient aura, were not the type that Yu Qiang wanted.
Therefore, Jin Yang was certain that Su Yixue was bound to lose.
Su Yixue looked around at everyone in the room, also very worried.
After all, Su Yixue had already asked for Divine Doctor Lei Qianjue to intervene, but Yu Qiang still wouldn't budge.
Now, relying solely on her two antiques, could she really open Yu Qiang's door?
"Trash that covets someone else's wife, how can you be so certain that you'll definitely get the quota?" Ye Fan coldly glanced at Jin Yang, "On the contrary, I think that today's pharmaceutical quota is secured by my Su Corporation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Fan gently patted Su Yixue's wrist, "Honey, don't worry, I will definitely secure today's pharmaceutical quota for you!"
Once he confirmed that Yu Qiang was in charge of the Tianji Pavilion's Assassins' Hall, Ye Fan was one hundred percent sure of the quota.
According to the information transmitted from the dragon-patterned ring, Yu Qiang, the person responsible for the Tianji Pavilion's hall, was the Old Pavilion Master's absolute confidant and someone who could be trusted.
As long as he showed the token and the passphrase, there was no reason for Yu Qiang, as the potential new Pavilion Master, to not acknowledge him.
"Hmph! A piece of trash... You? What will you use to secure it? Your mouth?" Jin Yang sneered at Ye Fan, then suddenly remembered that just moments ago, Ye Fan had taken advantage of his distraction to slap him across the face. Jin Yang himself was somewhat proficient in Martial Arts Qi and was close to reaching the Control Realm, yet he'd failed to dodge Ye Fan's slap.
That meant Ye Fan's strength, even in his current addled state, must still be above the Control Realm.
Frightened of being slapped again!
After finishing his sentence, Jin Yang quickly covered his face with his hands!
Getting slapped once was tolerable, but if it happened a second time, that would be a real loss of face.
In the blink of an eye, everyone's view of Ye Fan changed, and many family representatives were lamenting that even if the Jin Family couldn't secure the quota, it probably wouldn't go to any other family.
After all, there's the Su Family supported by the Ye Family in the forefront!
At the scene, the most shocked was the secretary under Yu Qiang.
Although he was wearing glasses, he wasn't short-sighted at all. He wore glasses merely to cover up certain matters.
Just now, he was clearly in the room, so close to Ye Fan, but he didn't manage to stop Ye Fan's attack with his Martial Venerable Realm strength. He didn't even realize how Ye Fan had made his move!
For such a thing to happen, there could only be two possibilities: One is that Ye Fan didn't use Martial Arts Qi at all, and the other is that Ye Fan's strength has far surpassed his own, so he couldn't detect it at all.
"Are you also trying to compete for that quota? Bring out the item!" The secretary, originally a bit angry, softened his attitude significantly towards Su Yixue after sensing something off about Ye Fan.
"Thank you! The item is right here!" Su Yixue handed over the thing respectfully to the secretary!
After taking the antique from Su Yixue's hand, the secretary glanced at the time on his watch, then looked around the crowd in the hall and said, "The time has almost come. Su Family Pharmaceutical's item is the last one; who the quota will go to will soon be known, please wait a moment!"
After finishing his words, the secretary quickly entered the room inside, and in less than five minutes, he came out holding a large pile of items, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry! The medical production quota goes to the Jin Family. The rest of you, please take your items back in order, and Mr. Yu has asked me to thank you for your kindness!"
Sigh!
A collective sigh spread through those gathered; so many vied for the position, yet there was only one quota. Many were there just to try their luck!
The outcome of not being selected was something they had anticipated.
Su Yixue, too, looked crestfallen. After retrieving the antique she had offered, she called out to Ye Fan, "Husband, let's go back."
Ye Fan smiled faintly and said to Su Yixue, "Wife, may I take a look at the antique in your hand?"
Su Yixue was somewhat puzzled, "Let you see it?"
Wang Fugui, who was standing nearby, chimed in at just the right moment, "Sister-in-law, let my big brother have a look! My big brother is very skilled; he discovered a treasure just the other day!"
"Oh!" Su Yixue gave a responsive nod and handed the antique to Ye Fan.
The moment Ye Fan took the antique, his wrist moved swiftly, channeling Qi Force at high speed to inscribe a mysterious pattern inside the box – the secret command of the Tianji Pavilion's Pavilion Master!
As Ye Fan made his move, Yu Qiang's secretary seemed to sense something and looked sharply in Ye Fan's direction, yet he discovered nothing.
After scrutinizing for a few moments, Ye Fan handed back the antique to Su Yixue and said, "Yixue, my wife, the most valuable part of this antique is the box. How about letting them have another look?"
