124: Grab the colorful
"No, they won't be able to find out." Li Changfeng's lips curled up slightly, as if everything was under his control.
"That's good then." Nan Qingyue nodded.
Nan Qingyue still trusted Li Changfeng's words.
Since Li Changfeng said they couldn't find out, then it must be true.
"But, Master, are we really going to oppose the Gao Family?" Nan Qingyue was somewhat worried.
"Once we get the Seven-Colored Powder, the Gao Family people definitely won't let us off."
"Moreover, we need to use the Seven-Colored Powder to save Situ Jiu. If the Gao Family chases after us then, we won't have any way to deal with them."
Nan Qingyue pointed out this crucial problem.
At that time, even if they obtained the Seven-Colored Powder, with the Gao Family chasing behind them, it probably wouldn't be easy to save Situ Jiu.
"Don't worry, we will definitely save Situ Jiu." Li Changfeng smiled slightly, reaching out to gently pat Nan Qingyue's head.
Li Changfeng smiled at Nan Qingyue; that smile was so sweet and gave off such a warm, comforting feeling.
In that moment, Nan Qingyue's heart instantly calmed down a lot.
After a long while.
Li Changfeng looked up, gazing in the direction of the high platform.
At this moment, the atmosphere had been stirred up by the Host, and the guests below the stage were all clamoring to bid for items.
"I bid one thousand taels!" someone shouted.
"I bid one thousand one hundred taels!"
"I bid one thousand three hundred taels!"
The guests below the stage offered their prices one after another.
Since someone had already taken the lead, even if the Gao Family looked for trouble later, it wouldn't fall on their heads.
These guests bid boldly.
Watching this scene, Old Master Gao's expression became even more unsightly; he had originally intended to take everything in the Auction House at the lowest cost.
But after this disturbance, it wouldn't be easy for the Gao Family to take everything.
"Good! Are there any other bids? One thousand three hundred taels once!" The Host was overjoyed; this situation was very favorable for him.
Not only could they make money, but more importantly, he could get these people to bid.
Whether it was Old Master Gao or the Gao Family, they were indeed powerful in Yizhou City.
However, no matter how powerful a Family was, how could they compare to all these people combined?
"Keep bidding!" the Host shouted. "Are there any more bids?"
Old Master Gao looked up, and the way he looked at the Host had changed; he looked as if he wanted nothing more than to kill him!
"Come here," Old Master Gao said gloomily with a dark expression.
"Yes, Master." A Guard quickly stepped forward.
"Find a few people and kill this Host for me." Old Master Gao was covered in Evil Qi; at this moment, he had already developed murderous intent.
The Guard was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
After all, this involved murder.
Although it wasn't the first time the Guard had done such a thing, killing someone from Mulan Manor left him with some lingering fear.
"What? You don't dare?" Old Master Gao's face was grim as he turned back to question him.
"No, Master, it's just that I'm not prepared yet. Can it be delayed for a few days?" The Guard took a sharp breath, trying his best to calm himself down.
In fact, the Guard knew in his heart that if he refused at this time...
...he would definitely not see tomorrow's sun.
Old Master Gao suddenly fell silent, no one knowing what he was thinking.
After a long while.
"Fine, but you must do this cleanly. You cannot let the people of Mulan Manor know who did it!" Old Master Gao wore a serious expression.
"This servant understands." The Guard nodded vigorously.
"Alright, leave then." Old Master Gao waved his hand, looking somewhat impatient.
Li Changfeng watched everything on stage, his brow furrowed.
With the Host's instigation, these guests were bidding one after another.
Clearly, the current situation was no longer within control.
"It's already very difficult to get the Seven-Colored Powder now; we need to make other plans." Li Changfeng's eyes brightened.
"But, Master, do we have any other way?" Nan Qingyue was puzzled.
"Auctioning isn't the best choice; we didn't have much money to begin with." Li Changfeng sighed. "Let's go, we'll leave here first."
Right now, they hadn't obtained the Seven-Colored Powder, and Li Changfeng was also being targeted by the Gao Family.
It was like trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it.
However, things wouldn't be that simple; Li Changfeng still had a back-up plan.
"Zhang Yun, let's go. We're heading out together," Li Changfeng called out.
"Sir, are you not going to bid anymore? If you really want the Seven-Colored Powder, I can help you." Zhang Yun pulled a silver note from his robe. "I have money, I can pay!"
But at that moment...
Li Changfeng smiled slightly and shook his head. "Let's go, there's no need to stay here."
"Then we don't want the Seven-Colored Powder anymore?" Nan Qingyue froze in place.
And just at that moment...
Li Changfeng took a deep breath, first letting himself calm down.
Immediately after.
Li Changfeng turned his head and looked at the high platform.
"Who said we don't want it? We are determined to get this Seven-Colored Powder. It's just that we probably won't be able to get it from the Auction House." Li Changfeng's eyes sparkled.
"Alright then, let's go, Master," Nan Qingyue responded, not lingering any longer.
Seeing Li Changfeng and Nan Qingyue about to leave, Zhang Yun naturally didn't dare to delay.
Zhang Yun cautiously crouched and scurried past the chairs, afraid of being discovered by the Gao Family.
After all, Zhang Yun had injured Gao Yuan. If he were recognized by the Gao Family again, there would certainly be trouble.
"Zhang Yun, what are you dawdling for? Let's go," Nan Qingyue turned back and called out.
"Shh, don't shout!" Zhang Yun quickly reached out and made a gesture.
After hearing this, Nan Qingyue nodded slightly.
Immediately after.
Zhang Yun strode forward, following closely behind Nan Qingyue.
Li Changfeng moved quickly; he had already left the hall and was heading outside the venue.
"Hurry, hurry, don't let the Gao Family people see us." Zhang Yun was cautious as he stepped forward.
Within moments.
Zhang Yun and Nan Qingyue left quickly, fortunately without being seen by the Gao Family.
After a long while.
Once Zhang Yun left the Auction House, he took a deep breath.
"We're finally out. Now the Gao Family shouldn't be able to find us." Zhang Yun panted heavily.
"Are you that afraid of the Gao Family?" Nan Qingyue was dismissive.
The Gao Family was merely a local tyrant in Yizhou City; Nan Qingyue didn't think much of them.
The Divine Sword Sect was the third largest sect in the world, with immense power and thousands of Disciples.
How could they possibly care about a tiny Gao Family?
"Afraid? Of course I'm afraid!" Zhang Yun sighed. "The Gao Family is the overlord of Yizhou City; they are not to be offended."
"But I have already injured the Young Master of the Gao Family. Because of that, a grudge has been formed with the Gao Family."
Zhang Yun retraced the events carefully and let out a long sigh.
And just at that moment...
Li Changfeng turned his head and glanced at a soldier not far away; that person was Wang Yi.
