Chapter 158: Competition
Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction, using the stage six material he had obtained earlier along with this desolate rhinoceros spine, he could try to forge stage six weapons now.
The success rate would not be low either.
Although he had not forged a stage six weapon before, he had the ability to do so already. He had not tried so because he lacked stage six materials and could not afford to take risks.
After all, his first try would still have some chance of failure, with just a bit of stage six materials, and because they were so precious, he could not afford to waste them.
“Congratulations, the desolate rhinoceros spine is top tier even among stage six materials.” The person beside him smiled and said.
Ye Feng was in a good mood after getting the material, he smiled as well: “Thanks.”
The desolate rhinoceros was not particularly strong, but one could tell from its name that the material was very suitable for forging. Be it bones, tendons, or even skin, these were excellent forging materials.
The best part of its body was the spine, not only was it tough and firm, it also had the special trait of transmitting energy, it was definitely top tier among stage six materials.
“Stage six materials are really quite rare.” The person said before his eyes lit up and he shouted: “13000!”
The thing that he was here for had appeared on the stage: ancient recovery potion.
Although the ancient recovery potion was powerful, there was a flaw in it, the quantity was too little.
If there was an ingredient list that was sold together with the potion, regardless of what ingredients were needed, its value would not be lower than most stage six materials.
Of course, it was too hard to keep a thing like the ingredient list a secret.
Through this auction, Ye Feng had to admit that the person beside him was even richer than him. He bought five to six things, spending around a hundred thousand gold coins.
After the auction ended, the two of them parted as they had to collect their items at different locations.
“I obtained a stage six material and saw Tiffany as well. If not for Kevin Miller’s existence, this would have been a perfect auction.” Ye Feng kept the spine away and left the Auction House.
But right when he was walking along the walkway, he suddenly stopped.
The two people in front of him stopped too.
“This is that guy called Ye Feng who has a close relationship with you?” Kevin Miller squinted and looked towards Tiffany.
He noticed Ye Feng even before the latter sensed him, after all, he had a lot of animosity towards Ye Feng.
“We were only working together, what relationship can a Blacksmith from a small city have with me?” Tiffany said with a cold expression, she looked at both Ye Feng and Kevin Miller: “We just had a pleasant cooperation.”
Her words were quite hurting but Ye Feng did not mind it. In this encounter, Ye Feng placed his focus on Kevin Miller.
He was the biggest obstacle after all.
“Hahaha, that is right.” Kevin Miller grabbed towards Tiffany’s waist with one hand, but she dodged it agilely. He shook his head and looked at Ye Feng: “Did you hear that? She doesn’t even want to be friends with you, why are you here?”
During this period of time, he wanted to make some intimate advances on Tiffany, but had not succeeded even once.
Although he wanted to, he could not force her now. Regardless, Tiffany could not run away, there was no rush at all.
Now that they met, the conflict could not be avoided, Ye Feng smiled coldly in disdain: “As expected of a young master of a large clan, you are really full of yourself. Do you really think I came to the Capital City because of you?”
No matter what, he could not show any weakness. Since they were enemies now, he could not admit defeat, there was no need to give in.
“Oh? It has nothing to do with me?” Kevin Miller rubbed his chin and nodded: “Don’t tell me that you are envious of our lifestyle so you want to come and take a look?”
Although he did not think much of Ye Feng, he had to admit that Ye Feng was his greatest rival when it came to Tiffany.
“Do I need to report to you for why I am here?” Ye Feng did not relent: “Why? Does the young master of the Miller clan have such authority?”
“Alright, enough. Are you two crazy? What’s the point of arguing here, if you want to do that, go elsewhere, don’t bother me.” Tiffany suddenly interrupted and showed an annoyed expression: “Kevin Miller, you are really free. Not only did you want me to attend this boring auction, you even wasted time arguing with this person. Do you really think my time is so worthless?”
It was clear that her attitude towards Kevin Miller was quite rude, although he was her fiancé, she still called him by his full name.
But her words ended this ‘competition’ between the two guys, they stopped arguing immediately after.
“Alright, alright, we’ll stop.” Kevin Miller slowly walked forward, he said in a low voice when he passed Ye Feng: “I’ll advise you to leave this place, otherwise, I can’t guarantee you what will happen later.”
Next, he continued moving on the walkway with Tiffany following behind him, neither looked at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng stood on the same spot for a few seconds before smiling and shaking his head, he left too.
“The gains are quite abundant…”
Ye Feng ate food in his room while recalling their encounter.
Firstly, it was without doubt that Tiffany was acting earlier. She was likely trying to protect him, but it was uncertain whether Kevin Miller believed her words.
During the auction, Tiffany and Ye Feng made eye contact many times, although they were not able to communicate with just their gaze.
Afterwards, Tiffany pretended not to know him very well. This gave him an answer, in the Capital City, Tiffany had never mentioned Ye Feng, Kevin Miller must have investigated the details on his own.
Next was Tiffany’s reaction about this wedding. It was certain that she hated Kevin Miller, and the fact that he brought her to the auction meant that she did not have much freedom, or at least, they could not show that they had a poor relationship.
Even so, Kevin Miller was unable to do anything to her now.
It seemed that Kevin Miller was treating Ye Feng as a competitor now, it was likely that Tiffany’s hatred towards him came from the fact that he investigated Ye Feng.
“I am really thinking too much. Although I am pretty sure of the situation now, he is truly an unlikable guy.”
Ye Feng smiled coldly in his heart, he thought to himself in disdain: “Of course, this is excluding the ones who are after his powerful background.
After eating, he cleaned up the place and left the room after stretching, he was making a trip to the Blacksmith Guild.
