25: Auctioneer Nalan Jin

Li Yuanbao couldn't help but chuckle foolishly.

Eleven Quasi-Emperor Weapon fragments, at least one billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones!

It was simply an astronomical figure…

"So, I'm already this rich?"

Bang, bang!

Just then, there was a commotion at the door, someone was heavily knocking on the Box door.

Zhang Liang stepped forward and opened the door. Before he could speak, he heard someone at the door question discontentedly:

"Bastard! What's wrong with your Auction House? Box Number Two of Tian Class has always belonged to our Shi family, but you actually gave it to someone else and made us go to a Di Class Box!"

"What you've done, where does it leave our Shi family?"

"If this gets out, who knows how many people will laugh at our Shi family!"

"Quickly call your Manager here! If you don't give this Young Master an explanation, your auction today can forget about continuing!"

A Purple-robed Youth with an arrogant expression stood outside the door, scolding the attendant outside the Box.

The attendant wore a fawning smile.

This Youth was Shi Ji, the youngest son of the Shi family's Patriarch from Yangling.

The Yangling Shi family was the number one Family in Yunlan Province. In terms of foundation, they were not much weaker than the Seven Stars Sect, and they also had in-law relations with the overlord Family of the neighboring Yulong State.

Although the Xuan Yue Auction House was not afraid, he, a mere attendant, could not afford to offend them.

"Young Master Shi, please wait a moment. Our Manager will be here shortly."

"Young Master, someone's come out!"

A guard reminded him.

Shi Ji's gaze immediately fell on Zhang Liang, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes; merely a Transformation Sea Realm First Heaven.

One should know that his guards were at least Fa Xiang Realm Cultivators, and he himself was a Transformation Sea Realm Ninth Heaven.

A weakling of Transformation Sea Realm First Heaven actually walked out of this Box, so he probably couldn't have too great a background.

Although he was arrogant, he wasn't a fool.

These people didn't snatch Box Number One of Tian Class, clearly indicating they didn't want to provoke or couldn't afford to provoke the Seven Stars Sect.

The power behind them was, at most, on the same level as the Seven Stars Sect.

Their Shi family was not afraid!

"Kid, who are you people?"

"Don't you know this Box belongs to our Shi family?"

"I'll give you two choices: either be sensible and voluntarily give up the Box, or this Young Master will teach you a lesson and then throw you out of the Auction House!"

Shi Ji's expression was contemptuous, and his tone was full of menace.

Even if they came from an overlord power of another state, a strong Dragon still couldn't suppress a local snake. This was his home turf.

"Are you done talking?"

"If you're done, then scram." Zhang Liang said indifferently.

"You… seeking death!"

Shi Ji felt insulted, and his anger instantly surged up. He disregarded everything and slapped Zhang Liang.

Boom!

A powerful spiritual Qi instantly erupted, enough to severely injure an ordinary Transformation Sea Realm Cultivator.

Zhang Liang's expression changed slightly, but he did not retreat.

At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly rang out.

"Young Master Shi, my Xuan Yue Auction House is not a place for you to act wildly. Even if your father came, he wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous."

As the voice sounded, Shi Ji's attack was instantly resolved, vanishing into nothingness.

"Manager Qian…"

Shi Ji looked at the old man in brocade robes walking over, gritted his teeth, and ultimately dared not be presumptuous anymore.

"Manager Qian, this Box Number Two of Tian Class has always belonged to our Shi family. Why did you give it to a group of unknown individuals?"

Shi Ji questioned.

Manager Qian cursed him as an idiot under his breath and said discontentedly:

"Young Master Shi, when did this Box become your Shi family's?"

"This is our Auction House's Box, and it's not up to your Shi family to decide who it's given to!"

"If you are dissatisfied with our Auction House's arrangements, you may leave."

Shi Ji's face alternated between green and pale, and finally, he glared fiercely at Zhang Liang before leaving in a huff.

Manager Qian snorted disdainfully, but then he changed his expression and cupped his hands with a smile towards Zhang Liang, saying:

"Little brother, it's all because our Auction House didn't handle things well, which caused you to be startled."

"May I, this old man, enter and have a word?"

Zhang Liang turned his head to look at Wu Ning.

"Let him in."

"Manager Qian, please come in."

Manager Qian chuckled and followed Zhang Liang into the Box, his gaze quickly sweeping over the few people in the Box, finally settling on Wu Ning.

Especially the green bird perched on Wu Ning's shoulder, which made his eyes slightly narrow.

"This old man is Qian Heng. May I ask Young Master for your name?"

Manager Qian cupped his hands, extremely polite.

"My surname is Wu."

Wu Ning said indifferently.

"So it's Young Master Wu…"

Manager Qian's thoughts raced, but he couldn't recall any prominent Family with the surname Wu.

Perhaps a Sect disciple…

He thought to himself, and a purple-gold card appeared in his hand. "Young Master Wu, this is our Xuan Yue Auction House Yunlan Province branch's special VIP card. With this card, you can reserve Tian Class Boxes, and enjoy a ten percent discount on auctions or entrusted auctions."

"This card is also valid in Xuan Yue Auction Houses in other states, but in some top major states, it can only be used as an ordinary VIP card…"

Wu Ning nodded slightly and took the card he handed over.

"Thank you."

Manager Qian smiled and said, "The auction is about to begin. I wish all Young Masters in advance that you can bid on items you desire."

"Auction House matters are busy, this old man will take his leave."

No sooner had Manager Qian left than a noisy sound echoed in the auction hall.

"Boss, it's starting."

The Box had a large window, offering a full view of the hall.

A curvaceous, enchantingly beautiful woman in a red dress, Nalan Jin, stepped onto the auction stage with graceful steps.

"Hello everyone, I am the auctioneer Nalan Jin, and welcome everyone to this auction."

Nalan Jin smiled slightly and spoke in an extremely charming voice. Her every move seemed to carry a hint of seduction.

The surroundings became noisy, and the atmosphere immediately grew heated, with gazes full of desire falling upon her.

They wished they could use their gazes to instantly punish her and severely whip her!

It was blatant, without the slightest pretense.

Nalan Jin was long accustomed to such gazes. She smiled and made a pressing gesture with her hand, saying, "Everyone, please be quiet. I believe everyone has been waiting impatiently, so I won't say more. The auction now begins…"

"Tsk, tsk, enchanting and charming… it's a pity this woman isn't a courtesan."

In the Box, the eyes of the several men were all fixed on Nalan Jin from afar.

Li Yuanbao had a lewd expression, imagining the feel.

Xu Ziqian's eyes showed appreciation, but this guy was actually a repressed pervert, who knows what he was thinking inside.

Zhang Liang's face was slightly flushed, his gaze darting around, like a pure young man.

Wu Ning gave a prim cough. This type was to his liking, and he wondered if he should go get to know her later.

With three men and one bird following him, he felt like the "Pilgrimage to the West group."

But he wasn't a monk.

At this time, the first item for auction had already appeared.

It was an eighth-grade Longevity Medicinal Pill!

The starting bid was twenty thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, and it quickly soared to over fifty thousand.

Bids rose and fell.

Longevity Medicinal Pills had always been expensive, let alone an eighth-grade Longevity Medicinal Pill!

Almost all the bids came from VIPs in the Boxes, and the competition grew increasingly fierce.
