Dugu Yifeng revealed a miserable smile.

At this moment, he was considering whether he should make other plans. A moment later, Qi Ran gave up. In front of so many people, especially when there was the existence of an Emperor, if he were to have any thoughts that he shouldn't have, it would truly be courting death.

He was in no mood to continue watching the next auction.

It was only when the final item was auctioned that he woke up from his stupor.

This was because the Emperor, who had stolen his map, once again called out a price.

In addition, someone had even called out the king's identity!

Icy Pride, one of the Icy Family's foundations. From the discussions of the bystanders, Dugu Yifeng realized that Icily was an elder of the Bing Family and had not been seen for a long time.

Unexpectedly, he was still alive today, and he even showed up for the auction.

After learning about this situation, Dugu Yifeng began to understand.

The emperor probably didn't have his eyes on that map. Perhaps he didn't feel too good about it when he saw that he had disgraced the Bing Family, and purposely made Dugu Yifeng feel displeased.

The key point was that this ancestor's move had directly pierced into Dugu Yifeng's weak spot. Now, he really had no more moves left.

His mind was in a mess. He waited until he announced the end of the auction, and after Dugu Yi Feng went backstage to retrieve his reputation, money, and items from the auction, he disappointedly left the auction venue.

After returning to the Ten Directions Inn, Dugu Yifeng went into his room with a heavy head and told Shopkeeper Wang that no one was allowed to disturb him.

At this moment, Dugu Yifeng was struggling internally. To him, this map was way too important.

As of now, even if an Emperor were to snatch him away, Dugu Yifeng was still scheming.

When it was time for lunch, Dugu Yifeng went downstairs.

Immediately, Shopkeeper Wang came to the staircase as if something had happened.

Dugu Yifeng frowned and asked softly, "Shopkeeper Wang, what's wrong? What happened? "

"Master, a guest came to see you earlier. But you told anyone not to bother you, so I stopped her. " Manager Wang said.

"And then?" Dugu Yifeng asked.

At this time, Manager Wang didn't say anything. Instead, he cast his gaze at a nearby table.

Dugu Yifeng had a calm expression on his face. He was not surprised by the newcomer's arrival. He then calmly walked towards the table.

On the table were two dishes and a jug of wine.

However, this wine was not burnt by the fire pincers that Dugu Yifeng often drank. Instead, it was used by the girls of Misty Snow City to warm their bodies and drink.

Wasn't the person sitting on the table in front of him Icy Mist?

For several days in a row, he didn't see her. Dugu Yifeng really didn't know why she was here today.

After calling for the waiter to put a pot of fire pincers on his mouth, he filled it up and took a small sip. Only then did Dugu Yifeng slowly raise his head, looked at the ice mist and slowly said, "Speak, do you have any advice for coming here today?"

Frost Mist looked up. At this moment, Dugu Yifeng discovered that this young lady's face was completely red from the wine and was already slightly drunk. "Of course not, I'm looking for you because I want to drink with you!"

Hearing this, Dugu Yifeng rolled his eyes and replied, "Hehe!"

Although Icemist didn't understand the meaning behind his words, she could guess that he didn't have any good intentions.

She blushed and then said slowly, "I'm just annoyed. I wanted to drink with you.

"You want to drink with me?" Dugu Yifeng felt even more depressed. Dugu Yifeng counted. Up till now, this was the second time he had met with Icemist.

He found a person he had only met to drink with, and if he were to say those words ? Hehehe!

Seeing that Dugu Yifeng was still looking at her with a disdainful look, Frost Mist shouted, "Alright, I was just trying to find someone to talk to. My home is too stuffy, so I thought of you."

After saying this, Dugu Yifeng unhurriedly nodded and poured himself a full cup of wine. It was obvious that this reason was convincing.

"Speak, what happened to you that made you so upset?" After taking a small sip, Dugu Yifeng asked, not putting down his wine cup.

To ask such a question, it was obvious that Dugu Yifeng was curious. After all, the Xue Clan that Bing Lan belonged to was one of the top two dominant families in the Misty Snow City. As the young miss of the family, Bing Lan would actually run into a problem that she couldn't deal with.

Not only that, Dugu Yifeng had other plans in mind. Perhaps the Xue clan's information could reveal some useful information.

"It's not me, it's my sister!" The redness on Icy Mist's face had already faded.

For martial artists, wanting to get drunk was still not easy. This was because even though he had drunk quite a bit of wine, his face still revealed signs of drunkenness. However, as long as one wasn't completely drunk and didn't wake up, he or she could use the alcohol from the inside to wake up, just like the ice mist at this moment.

Dugu Yifeng blinked his large eyes with a look of anticipation on his face. However, he did not open his mouth to ask any further questions. Obviously, in his eyes, Icemist would tell him everything.

No matter, didn't he come here just to make fun of him? Dugu Yifeng would just let her have a good time.

As expected, this girl revealed everything as if she was pouring out beans.

From Bing Lan's words, Dugu Yifeng understood that this was the way things went.

The Ice and Snow Great Families were the hegemons of Misty Snow City. The two great families originally had the same Ice Family, but now, their surnames were the same as well.

In this way, the two great families would have a main branch and a branch family competition!

In the earlier years, this fight had been very simple. It was a direct confrontation between clans who had sent people to assassinate each other.

Under the guidance of their respective Patriarchs, the two families had temporarily eased up the somber atmosphere.

They had turned this kind of covert slaughter into a frontal duel. Once a year!

Simply put, the two families were holding a group arena competition. The arena battle was the most common way to resolve disputes on the continent. Dugu Yifeng had already encountered it many times.

In the arena battle between the two great clans, the victor would become the main branch of the year.

After a year, they would continue to fight.

If that was the case, then this fight was fine.

However, when the rules were made, the patriarchs of the two clans added another rule on top of that:

If a family were to win ten years in a row, then the title of being the main branch family and branch family would be fixed from then on and there would be no more disputes!
