52: meeting

“Then I thank you.”

Shen Xi naturally saw through everyone's thoughts, but he didn't expose them.

Anyway, he had already made a fortune this time.

He had obtained one billion from Purple Robe, won twenty-one billion from betting, and added to what he had earned from selling heavenly spirit stones, Shen Xi's net worth had now reached thirty-five billion.

Although he still couldn't compare to those in the Inner City, in the Outer City, his assets were considered among the top.

After speaking, Shen Xi took Xiao Mei and left the martial arts hall.

He had completed half of today's mission.

As for the other half... it was rare to come to such a large auction, so Shen Xi naturally wanted to join in the fun, and perhaps he could get many useful things.

Shen Xi, led by Xiao Mei, wandered around the hotel a few times.

At this moment, three chimes suddenly rang in his ears.

“Clang!”

“Clang!”

“Clang!”

The deafening chimes caught Shen Xi's attention.

“The auction is about to begin, this is to remind guests to go to the top floor to participate in the auction.”

Xiao Mei quickly explained.

Shen Xi nodded and went to the top floor.

The top floor's decor was extremely magnificent, with various luxuries that ordinary people couldn't afford, visible everywhere on the top floor.

Even the guests' chairs were inlaid with gems.

One could see the whole leopard through a single spot.

Just from the decor, one could tell the caliber of this auction.

“You have a gold invitation, your seat is at the very front.”

Xiao Mei whispered a reminder.

Invitation cards of different tiers corresponded to different seating arrangements.

Shen Xi went to the first row and casually found a seat.

As soon as he sat down, many people couldn't help but gasp.

“This is that person’s seat!”

“This kid named Shen Xi is simply too bold.”

“He killed White Robe and Purple Robe not long ago, and now he’s taken that person’s seat. Is he not afraid of having no place to stand in the Outer City?”

“Tsk tsk tsk, he truly is a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger. I want to see if he’s eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard.”

Everyone couldn't help but start discussing, but no one spoke up to remind Shen Xi.

More often, they wore expressions of watching a good show.

After all, many people present had been scammed by Shen Xi not long ago, losing a lot of money.

“Distinguished guest, perhaps you should change your seat?”

At this moment, Xiao Mei also reacted, reminding him with a pale face.

If this was truly that person's seat, Shen Xi would definitely offend the other party.

At that time, Shen Xi would have no place to stand in the Outer City.

“What’s wrong?”

Shen Xi was a little curious.

Everyone's reactions were naturally all seen by him.

“This is…”

Xiao Mei was about to explain when a loud voice suddenly rang out, interrupting her words.

“Lord Chen Fang has arrived!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up.

He's here, he's here, that person is here.

If that person saw Shen Xi sitting in his seat, he would definitely be furious.

After all, the other party was a dignified Captain, how could he allow others to sit in the number one position.

This was a seat only those with the most respected status on the scene were qualified to sit in.

Many people's faces showed playful smiles.

Shen Xi had just killed Kong Wen's retainers not long ago, and now he had offended Chen Fang. Isn't this seeking death?

Unless he was also a Captain of the Judgment Squad, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to withstand the wrath of two Captains.

Everyone was sitting and waiting for a good show.

As for Xiao Mei, her face had already turned pale, so scared that she couldn't even speak.

“How dare you, how can you sit in Lord Chen Fang’s seat!”

Chen Fang's lackey quickly noticed Shen Xi and reprimanded him sternly.

And Chen Fang also cast a questioning gaze, slightly furrowing his brows.

Those familiar with Chen Fang knew that this was a precursor to his anger.

“So you are Chen Fang?”

Shen Xi looked at the somewhat thin young man in front of him with some surprise.

He had thought that someone who could contend with Kong Wen for power should also be a middle-aged man, just like the other party.

Unexpectedly, Chen Fang was so young, looking only a few years older than himself.

“Presumptuous, is Lord Chen Fang’s name something you can casually call? Upon seeing the Lord, you don’t even respectfully bow, and you dare to occupy the Lord’s seat. I think you are tired of living!”

The lackey cursed again.

As he spoke, he even rolled up his sleeves to strike Shen Xi.

“Chen Fang, treating an ally like this doesn’t conform to the rules, does it?”

Just then, Shen Xi looked at Chen Fang and grinned.

Hearing this, Chen Fang's heart stirred, and he quickly stopped the lackey.

He seemed to have thought of something and said with some surprise, “So you are Shen Xi?”

At this moment, Chen Fang's shock was no less than Shen Xi's.

He hadn't expected to meet the ally he had just gained yesterday, today.

What surprised him even more was that Shen Xi was so young.

“Thank you for your gift.”

Shen Xi shook the wind chasing sword key, indirectly proving his identity.

At this moment, Chen Fang confirmed Shen Xi's identity.

His originally tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and he looked at Shen Xi with a smile, saying, “Hahaha, I thought it was someone else! I didn’t expect it to be Brother Shen. This seat, no one else can sit in it, but only you can. We Two People are like brothers, there’s no distinction between us.”

Chen Fang was indeed worthy of being a Captain.

After learning Shen Xi's identity, he casually glossed over the matter.

Not only that, but he also elevated Shen Xi's status and showed his own magnanimity.

This made Shen Xi look at him with new eyes. No wonder he could compete with a cunning old fox like Kong Wen; he truly had some skill.

On the contrary, everyone present was momentarily stunned.

What's going on?

It looks like Shen Xi and Chen Fang know each other?

And the relationship between the Two People is good, even the number one seat, which symbolizes status, Chen Fang gave to Shen Xi.

This made many people who were waiting to see Shen Xi suffer immediately shut their mouths.

They finally understood why Shen Xi had fought White Robe to the death.

This was clearly to help Chen Fang and weaken Kong Wen's power!

“Then I shall not decline.”

Shen Xi did not refuse.

On one hand, his strength was enough to make him an equal to Chen Fang.

On the other hand, he had just helped Chen Fang weaken Kong Wen's strength, so sitting in the other's seat was nothing.

“No problem, no problem!”

Chen Fang smiled and sat in the number two seat.

“Hmph! Do you Two People even deserve to sit in the number one spot? You’re clearly not putting this Venerable One in your eyes!”

Just then, a cold voice rang out.

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Kong Wen appearing on the top floor at some unknown time.

Not only that, Kong Wen's face was exceptionally grim, so dark it seemed as if water would drip from it.

He stared intently at Shen Xi, as if he wanted to flay him alive on the spot.
