It was supposed to be a silent night, but it wasn't silent.

This is the famous Treasure Hall in Qinyang City, and it is also one of the top auction venues in Nanxi Kingdom.

There are three auctions a day, one in the morning, one in the evening, and the finale of the day is usually auctioned close to the end of the night. Therefore, whenever night comes, it is usually the busiest time for the Treasure Hall.

Yun Xiaomo followed the flow of people into the treasure hall, the lanterns in the building were hung high, the wine was fragrant, and the laughter was bursting into the ears, so it was not lively. It was the first time he had come to such a lively place, and he couldn't help but be curious, looking around.

In the wing room inside the Treasure Hall, Meng Luoqiu, the eldest and youngest of the Meng family, was losing his temper at the moment, and the directors of the Treasure Hall were separated on both sides, bowing their heads and trembling.

"Waste! A bunch of waste! You can't even take care of a jade toad, what else can you do?" An inkstone flew over the heads of the supervisors, and one by one they lowered themselves to avoid being attacked.

Steward Meng, who was the leader, cautiously looked at Meng Dashao's face, stepped forward and replied: "Meng Shao, we really can't blame us for this, we don't know that the child's physique is so weak, so he can't hold it after letting Yu Toad drink blood a few times." Meng Shao, please rest assured, we will definitely try our best to find another child to replace us, and ensure that the jade toad can drink enough child blood before the auction, so that it can condense more Xuan Qi and sell it for a good price. ”

Meng Luoqiu glared angrily, and rebuked unceremoniously: "Do you think what I care about is silver? The jade toad is a treasure that is rare to see in a hundred years, containing the vitality of heaven and earth, for martial artists who cultivate Xuan Qi, it can not only assist in cultivation, but also prolong life. Its quality is related to the reputation of our Treasure Hall, do you want our Treasure Hall to be discredited?"

Steward Meng lowered his head stupidly, speechless.

The Meng family, one of the top ten families, ranks last among the top ten families. Although it is the weakest family among the top ten families, its strength cannot be underestimated if it can be ranked among the top ten families, and even the monarch of Nanxi Kingdom does not dare to despise the Meng family.

Jubaotang is one of the main industries of the Meng family, and now Meng Dashao is in charge of the whole business, Meng Dashao is young and vigorous, and wants to do some achievements in the shortest possible time, so he attaches great importance to the upcoming annual auction event of Jubaotang.

"Tomorrow's guests are all guests with heads and faces, and the jade toad is the finale of this auction event, if there is a mistake, I will let you not eat and walk around!"

"Get out of here, do what you have to do, and don't let me hear any more bad news!"

Steward Meng led a group of supervisors to withdraw from the room in a sneering manner, and there was cold sweat on their foreheads one by one, Meng Shao's temper is really not something that ordinary people can bear, but they can also understand his meritorious service.

"Steward Meng, what are we going to do next?"

"Yes, it's so late, where can I find the boy to feed the blood to the jade toad?"

“……”

The supervisors were talking about it, and all of them had a difficult look on their faces.

Steward Meng was also very embarrassed, his eyes were distracted, and he happened to see Yun Xiaomo looking around with a small pet in his arms in the crowd, his shrewd eyes lit up immediately, and he clapped his hands and said: "God has eyes, what is really going on! Quick, go and catch that child for me!"

The supervisors followed his line of sight, and sure enough, they saw a little boy in the crowd, and he looked curiously at the one in the building, his innocent and lovely face, which made people's eyes shine.

"Great! We're going to get him!"

"Wait!" Steward Meng suddenly called out to them, and after thinking for a while, "Don't scare him, you guys go and get busy first, and I'll go and coax him in person." ”

Yun Xiaomo observed the surroundings, only to feel that there was a golden splendor in front of him, and the people around him were adults who were twice as tall as him, and what they were talking about was either silver or auction items, and he seemed to understand it.

Just as I was about to ask someone, an old man came in front of him, smiling, and it was in his direction.

"Little brother, what's your name, what are you doing here, is there anything you can do for grandpa to help you?"

"I'm here to find my father, can you help find someone here?" Yun Xiaomo saw that he was kind, and took the initiative to help, so he was also kind to him.

"Are you looking for Daddy? You tell Grandpa what he looks like, and Grandpa will immediately send someone to help you find him. Steward Meng's mind turned, and said, "Otherwise, you go to the study with grandpa first, and grandpa will ask someone to help you draw a portrait, and it will be much more convenient for us to find someone according to the portrait." ”

Yun Xiaomo thought about it, and seemed to be right, so he nodded and followed him.

Steward Meng led him, walked through the crowd, and secretly made a successful look with a few supervisors. Several supervisors gave him a thumbs up and praised Steward Meng for his resourcefulness.

Yun Xiaomo's attention was all attracted by the novelties around him, completely unaware that he had become meat on the chopping board at the moment, to be slaughtered. He was like a lost lamb who had stumbled upon the wolves, and he didn't know it.

"Grandpa, didn't you say you were going to the study?

Steward Meng led him to a secret room, where all kinds of treasures were displayed, and there were many things that Yun Xiaomo had never seen or heard of, which dazzled him.

Steward Meng coughed lightly, and said without changing his face: "Yes, we are not an ordinary place here, so the study room is also very special." ”

He took a few steps forward and opened a treasure box made of jasper, and a bright light appeared, revealing a white and flawless jade toad.

"Little brother, do you like this jade toad?"

Yun Xiaomo leaned in curiously, feeling that there was a thick mysterious aura lingering around the jade toad, and his curiosity became even heavier.

"It's so beautiful, old man, are you going to give it to me?"

Steward Meng's face froze, and he coughed lightly again, and said, "This is a treasure of the Treasure Hall, and it can't be given away casually." ”

"But I like it! My mother said that as long as it was something I liked, she would get it for me. Yun Xiaomo unceremoniously held the jade toad in the palm of his hand, and the majestic Xuan Qi felt even clearer, and he sighed curiously, trying to operate the Xuan Qi in his body. Slowly, he found that the Xuan Qi condensed in Yu Toad's body was gradually merging with the Xuan Qi on his body, and he suddenly felt comfortable.

Great! It's the same as the jade pendant that the crazy grandfather once gave him, it's a good thing that can make people increase their Xuan Qi! Compared to the jade pendant that the crazy grandfather gave him, the Xuan Qi condensed in this jade toad's body seems to be more abundant......

"Grandpa, then I'll take it away first, and when my mother comes, she'll pay you the money." ”

Steward Meng's face twitched, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, what is this, what is the difference between this and Ming Robbing?

"Little brother, this is not good, this is not in accordance with the rules!" He only regarded the other party as a child, in order to deceive him of the child's blood, he tried his best to be patient and slowly coaxed.

"My mother said that the rules are set by people, since they don't conform to the rules, then don't you change the rules?" Yun Xiaomo said as a matter of course, in the palm of his hand, the Xuan Qi from the jade toad's body was continuously flowing into his body, and streams of heat were surging in every vein on his body, and this comfortable feeling made him even more reluctant to give up the jade toad.

Steward Meng was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of mother this child was, and how she educated her children on weekdays.
