Chapter 63: Threats
Then he took a few more bottles of Master Yunxing's elixir, and the young man also tirelessly continued to raise the price. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Heh, it's really interesting, the famous Young Master Qi Lan is actually doing this kind of ugly thing of price gouging and vicious competition here, if it reaches the ears of the Venerable Master, will he still be proud of your 'filial piety'?" When the young man once again succeeded in raising another bottle of pill to a high price and getting rid of it, a joking voice suddenly sounded in his head.
“…… Who!who?!" The young man was shocked and angry, looking around, especially turning his head and staring at Ye Shuo fiercely several times, but he still couldn't find the person who was provocative.
"If Young Master Qi wants to know, just wait for me in the corridor outside the hall during the intermission of the auction. Until then, please don't look around. It's good for you and good for me. The voice was still unhurried.
"Damn it......" The young man's hands hanging under the black robe slowly clenched into fists, his gaze as cold as knives.
For the rest of the auction, the boy was always on pins and needles, looking around the auction hall from time to time, but he never found the suspicious person who had been transmitted to him.
The morning auction ended and it was time for the intermission.
A lot of people would take advantage of the intermission to go out for a walk, or buy some food and drinks, and even the boy went out. Ye Shuo and Chu Tianyao didn't have any place to go, so they stayed in their seats. The young man also walked out of the hall with the crowd of people in twos and threes, but he did not attract much attention. But before he got up to leave, he couldn't help but turn his head and glared at Ye Shuo fiercely, Ye Shuo's face was inexplicable.
The young man came to the corridor, frowned, looked around, and watched the people coming and going, feeling that everyone in the corridor was a little alike, and none of them were quite alike.
Just when he was waiting impatiently, a pair of feet in deep canvas boots had stopped in front of him at some point.
The young man frowned and looked at the black-robed man who was dressed the same as himself for a long time, seeing that he had no intention of leaving, and seemed to have finally confirmed the identity of the other party.
In order to be safe, he still said tentatively with a cold face: "You are the person who transmitted the voice to me?"
The black-robed man bowed slightly, his words were playful, and said, "Young Master Pray, don't be nervous, if I really want to be unfavorable to you, I will leave this news in a more useful place, instead of making a private appointment with you here." I just want to make a small deal with you, and don't be surprised. ”
The young man was silent for a long time, and finally raised his hand to hold the cloak and pulled it off fiercely, revealing a delicate face with some stubbornness. This face is not unfamiliar to most of the people in Dingtian City, it is the champion of the Alchemist Conference that just ended not long ago, and it is also the personal disciple of the famous Yunxing Master, Qi Lan!
"Now that you know my identity, please don't hide it and see me as your true face!
The black-robed man was unmoved, as if Qi Lan's request had already been expected by him. Hearing this, he happily held his hood and lifted it upward, and under the shadow was a familiar cold face.
"Under the Burning Heaven faction, Guo Yangyun. Pray young master, fortunately, fortunately. ”
"Ahh
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Jin Peng, who was sitting beside him, asked with concern.
"Cough, cough, it's okay," Guo Yangyun rubbed his nose, "It's probably a little cold." ”
And in the corridor of the auction hall, Qi Lanzheng frowned and looked at the "Guo Yangyun" opposite: "Burning Heaven Sect? I have heard of you, it is said that you are a sect that is famous for its tricks and tricks. It seems that the purpose of your faction has been implemented vividly in Your Excellency!"
"Guo Yangyun" smiled faintly: "Awards, awards." As the saying goes, like gathers like things, if the young master is really upright, he won't be caught by me now, are you right?"
"Don't compare me to a despicable villain like you!" Qi Lan snorted heavily, and then changed his words: "I'm curious, why do you think I will agree to your deal?
"Young Master Qi, is this testing me?" Guo Yangyun sneered, "You guessed right, I really don't have evidence, but I don't really need evidence for this matter!"
Satisfied, seeing that the smug smile on the corner of Qi Lan's lips gradually disappeared, he continued leisurely: "It is well known that someone has maliciously bid at the auction, and the name of Young Master Qi Lan is also well known.
It's just that this doesn't seem to be a topic that can be comforting to Master Yunxing...... And you also know that the commonality of human beings is that they are naturally more attracted to scandals, as the so-called good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and I can't guarantee that this matter will be spread in the hot discussions on the streets and alleys. If Young Master Qi is also interested, we might as well come and see what happens......"
"That's enough!" Obviously, Qi Lan also thought about what kind of uncontrollable development would be caused if she left it alone, and spit out two words with a dark face, before she said in a deep voice: "You say, what do you want me to do." ”
"Hmm, it seems that Young Master Qi has figured it out, wouldn't it be good to do this earlier?" Guo Yangyun teased a few words with a hippie smile, and then looked solemn, and said: "Actually, my conditions are very simple, presumably Young Master Qi also knows that the 'Nine Qu Xuanyin Pill' that is about to be auctioned at the auction——"
"I know. So what?" Qi Lan still didn't look good.
Guo Yangyun's smile expanded: "And my request ...... You must not let that kid sitting behind you bid for this Nine Songs Xuanyin Pill!"
"The kid sitting behind me......" Qi Lan pondered for a while, and then drew an equal sign with a face that made him very unhappy in his impression, and his expression naturally turned disgusted: "What do you want me to do?" Originally, he thought that the other party would not hesitate to risk offending the Qi family, and appeared to threaten himself, and what he asked for must be extremely difficult, but he didn't expect him to make such a simple request, and he couldn't help but be a little confused while secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
"Guo Yangyun" took in the changes in Qi Lan's expression, and smiled mysteriously: "You can do this yourself."
I don't care what method you use, just let that kid go home empty-handed at the end. I want to pray that the young master has many friends and a wide range of roads, and it should be a gesture to influence the ownership of an auction item, huh?"
"......" Qilan quickly calculated several feasible methods in her mind, and she had a rough idea in her heart. Silently bowed his head, and when "Guo Yangyun" was overjoyed when he saw this, and was about to stretch out his hand to shake him, he did not respond immediately, but said with a cold face: "I still have a question." I'll do this for you, and you'll see the results in a few hours, but how can I trust that you can also fulfill your promise and never use this to make a difference in the future?"
"Guo Yangyun" narrowed his eyes, and his smile was a little ill-intentioned: "I can't guarantee it." But you can only choose to believe it now, can't you?"
"You!" Qi Lan was so angry that he slapped his hand away, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, count you ruthless enough!" Guo Yangyun, I remember you, once this matter is over, you and I will be clear, and we will not owe each other, you better not hit my hands in the future!"
"Being remembered by Young Master Qi is Guo's blessing. "Guo Yangyun" is still smiling good-natured.
Qi Lan wandered in the corridor for a while before coming to the backstage of the auction room.
"Who is it?" The person in charge of the auction hall was sitting on a chair and closing his eyes, when he suddenly saw someone walking in without permission, and immediately sat up straight and scolded loudly.
"I'm ......" Qi Lan shrank for a moment, and finally lifted his hood and mustered up the courage to walk in: "I'm Qi Lan." How are you old man?" followed by a bunch of polite words.
"Haha, it's Lan'er!" the person in charge of the auction hall laughed, "Why don't you stand at the door and not come in? Are you also here to participate in the auction? I talked to your master about you a few days ago." Come on, come in. As he spoke, he made room for a chair.
"No need. Qi Lan didn't sit down, "The little nephew just has something to trouble Shibo." Can I ask what number of the Nine Qu Xuanyin Pill's auction is in the ranks?"
"Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill?" the person in charge of the auction hall was stunned for a moment, "Why are you asking this?"
"Hmm...... Because Master recently wanted to refine a bottle of Wupin Pill and needed Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill as a medicine guide, I specially came to help Master bid for it. But unfortunately, I just received a summons from my family, and I have some personal matters that I need to deal with.
…… It's not a big deal, and it can be solved quickly. I just want to check the auction time of this item first, so as not to miss the opportunity. Qi Lan recited this passage eloquently. This is the excuse he had already thought of along the way here, and he thought about it several times, but when he really spoke, he was still nervous and sweaty.
The person in charge of the auction hall just asked casually, and then took out the record book and rummaged through it, but he didn't notice that Qi Lan was wrong. Qi Lan also smiled and waited honestly on the side.
"Found it. Well, wait for me to see, Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill...... Ranked fifth in the second half. There are no heavyweight auction items in front, and they can probably be done just by going through the motions. In this case, it may only take an hour or two before the turn comes, is it too late? Do you want me to inform the auctioneer and delay the time a little longer?"
"No, thank you, that's it. Qi Lan hurriedly thanked him, and wanted to withdraw in a hurry.
"In this way, let's bring the 'Heavenly Fragrance Demon Bone Diagram' that was originally scheduled to be in the penultimate position to the front! This is the highlight of this auction, and there will definitely be a lot of people rushing to grab it, and it should be able to drag out a lot of time. The person in charge of the auction house suddenly slapped his thigh, as if he had thought of some good idea.
Although Qi Lan really wanted to end it as soon as possible, after all, he was the first excuse to say that he had something to do, and if he blindly pushed it off and made people suspicious, he could only agree with a dry smile.
The auction continued unhurriedly, with a few lower-priced items sold in the morning, and after an intermission, the second half began.
What can be put in the second half of the auction are the finale goods.
"What is going to be auctioned below is the much-anticipated 'Tianxiang Demon Bone Map'!" the auctioneer introduced emotionally on the stage.
"It's here! this is it!" Ruan Wei, who was sitting in the back row, his eyes lit up.
