Lin Xiao looked at Wenren Yu. "Is he at Foundation Establishment?"
"Oh, you mean the token?" Wenren Yu glanced at Lin Xiao then nodded. "At least, when he entered the city and make his token, he's Foundation Establishment. But you could not upgrade your token and issue a new one when you advance so that you can stay stuck in the same one."
"Ooh."
Of course, most people would not want to hide their real rank unless they wished to stay low. Those with higher rank could get better payment and obviously lived a better life. Why should they hide their real rank?
Lin Xiao also didn't wish to hide his real rank if not because Elder Wang warned him not to attract attention here. If he showed his real rank, he would surely have already attracted the attention of so many people. They might even try to coerce him to follow them later on.
The door opened and a man walked in. He had elegant air and swept his gaze at the people in front of him before landing on the flower on the table.
"Night Yin Flower and still alive."
"Yes."
When picking herbs, many didn't bother to keep the plants alive. After all, it was easier to just directly pluck them to use. However, for high ranked plants, it would be such a waste to just pluck them for use. Many would try to grab the soil below the plant then kept it inside their Spatial Ring to preserve the plants.
Most of the times, they wouldn't be able to sustain the plant and it withered away after some time. However, the one in front of him was still in good condition. It was as if the plant had just been picked up not long ago.
"Seeing its condition, it wouldn't have any problem to reach 500 golds," the manager said without covering the real price. He looked at the staffs around him and sneered. "Come with me and bring the flower with you."
"Yes."
Lin Xiao had noticed that there was something strange with the way the manager looked at the flower. There was traces of astonishment and admiration. This made him confused very greatly.
Was there any difference with the plants compared to other plants?
Once the three of them disappeared into the door, the staffs broke into talk. They couldn't believe that they have just seen the famous Night Yin Flower right in front of their eyes. Who didn't know the true worth of this plant?
The female staff was even very envious. "This is the first time I see Night Yin Flower, but it's so far away, ah."
"Yes! I can't believe that these three ordinary people are actually hidden dragons. They're actually very rich yet they acted humble."
"Don't you think that they're really from ordinary background."
"Bah, to be able to show Night Yin Flower with just a wave of his hand already show that he's not ordinary. Do you really think that everyone has Spatial Ring?"
"I don't even have one!"
"True!"
The manager ignored the ruckus that his staffs made and pointed for Lin Xiao and his friends to sit down. He had also noticed the way the other two standing seemed to be calculated. While it was not perfect, they were trying to always be in the best position to protect the person in the middle.
In that moment, the manager thought about a phrase: heir in training.
There were many influential families in Sun Kingdom, but many of them held the same principle: they would only hand over their family to someone who was capable. Many heirs were incapable because they were being too protected and the sole son of the head was very often very bad.
Because of that, they would often send the heir far away along with some bodyguards. Some bodyguards were also in training and would stay with the young master while the rest would stay hidden. The heir would have to learn everything by himself without relying on the family's connection.
The manager's eyes landed on the token on their wrist. From the way it looked like, the three of them were still at Body Training Stage, so his speculation should be correct. As for which family they came from, it was still unknown.
"I'm the manager here, my name is Du Huan. You can call me Manager Du. What should I call you, Mister?"
"Lin, you can call me Ln." Lin Xiao didn't feel like giving out his full name, so he chose just his surname.
Not only the manager, even the staff behind him also showed an astonished look for a moment. The staff was the same one as the one in the counter before. He was following the manager to learn.
However, their gaze quickly turned back to normal. They all knew that the Royal Family had Lin surname but there were many princes who were actually too far away to obtain the throne. Those people would still have Lin surname but no real power. Aside from them, there were many other people who had Lin surname living in remote area but of course the manager and the staff would never think of them.
"I see Mister Lin, would you like to have the Night Yin Flower to be bought directly by the auction house or would you like for it to be sold in the auction?"
Lin Xiao recalled the auction announcement that was shown in the square. "If possible, I want the Night Yin Flower to be sold in an auction."
The manager's eyes shone. He knew that if it was given enough advertisement, the Night Yin Flower would surely attract the attention of so many young ladies. He nodded his head with a smile. "That can easily be done, Mister Lin."
"When do you plan to hold the auction, Manager Du?"
Manager Du tapped the table. "A week from now there will be a grand auction along with some other items sold by other people. If you would like, you can also participate in the auction with this Night Yin Flower."
'Oh, so that announcement is for the grand auction.'
Lin Xiao nodded. "Sure."
"It's nice cooperating with you, Mister Lin."
