Chapter 18: The Tanuki Who Can Read Faces
chapter content,
The most common tickets for the monthly auction in Los Angeles must be bought ten days in advance, otherwise they will not be able to enter at all. Even if this month because of Tianji Pavilion's marriage to his daughter, there is nothing special at the auction, and it is still overcrowded.
"What are you looking for?" Fei Zhifu pulled his sister who was looking around.
Fei Zhiying looked at the crowd: "Sister, why hasn't that person and his tanuki come yet?" ”
"What do you care about him?" Fei Zhifu said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you let me stop meddling." ”
"Aren't I afraid that he won't be able to get in without a ticket?" Fei Zhiying continued to look, "It's good that someone saved us, in case we can't get in, we can take him in with us, and we can play with that tanuki!" ”
Fei Zhifu frowned and thought about it, thinking that this was not bad, and it could be regarded as a return of some favors. So the two of them waited at the door, but the crowd suddenly stirred.
"Sister, it's a flying mount!"
Eight snow-white flying horses descended in the air with a carriage, and there were people riding on the horses behind the carriage. The group was very pompous, and stopped at the door of the auction hall in a majestic manner.
"It's the carriage of the Cihang Sect." Fei Zhifu pulled his sister back into the middle of the crowd.
The carriage had the emblem of the Cihang Sect, and the four corners were hung with red, green, and green gemstones, and white yarn dancing in the wind, which only one person could use......
"Ci Nianqiu is here?" Fei Zhiying said angrily, "No one except her would be so arrogatory, but why is she here?" Shouldn't she follow her brother to greet her relatives? ”
Fei Zhifu shook his head: "I don't know, but I heard that she doesn't deal with the one in Tianji Tower, and I always feel that that one is not worthy of his brother." ”
"Whew! Who does she think his brother is......" Fei Zhiying mocked, "as if he was rare!" ”
Fei Zhifu glared at her: "What nonsense, let her hear that she is going to quarrel again." ”
"It's noisy, it's noisy, anyway, she doesn't like us!"
The crowd got out of the way, and two identical men walked up to the carriage.
"Miss, it's here!"
"Uh-huh......" With a soft voice, a woman in a white dress got out of the carriage.
She wore a high bun like a cloud, and a slanted jasper phoenix hairpin was inserted obliquely on the top of her head. Holding a colorful feather fan in his hand, wearing a lilac peony and phoenix pattern brocade shirt, the whole person is rich and delicate, and his facial features are beautiful.
A well-deserved beauty.
"The eldest lady of Cihang Sect!"
"The big beauty on the beauty list......"
The people around whispered, casting envious and amazed glances.
Ci Nianqiu had long been accustomed to this kind of occasion, and walked towards the auction hall with the corners of her mouth bent, but suddenly stopped halfway through.
"Fei Zhifu?" She smiled and glanced at a certain part of the crowd, "Why don't you dare to come out?" It's been a long time since we've seen each other, don't you want to have a cup of tea and chat? ”
Fei Zhiying snorted: "My sister has something to talk about with you, we don't know each other." ”
"Take profit!" Fei Zhifu pulled her out of the crowd, "People still think we're rude when you say that!" She walked slowly to Ci Nianqiu's side, "You, I didn't want people to know that I was here, but now it's okay, those people have said it again!" ”
Ci Nianqiu sneered in a low voice, but an embarrassed smile appeared on his face: "It turns out that Zhifu wants to keep a low profile!" That's my fault, next time you talk to me in advance! ”
"I'll be sure to say hello to you in advance next time." Fei Zhifu smiled better than her, and the two beauties stood together, which was really pleasing to the eye.
There was a slight commotion in the crowd.
"That's the Mirror Moon Fairy of Mirror Moon Valley!"
"Yes, yes, I've always been second on the beauty list, and I was defeated by Miss Cida last year to become third."
"She looks so gentle and gentle, and she can get better without taking medicine......"
The sound naturally reached the ears of the two of them.
Ci Nianqiu lowered his voice and sneered: "You still dare to come, isn't it a shame to lose to me last year?" ”
"You seem to have forgotten that I didn't lose to you last year, but I didn't go to the competition at all." Fei Zhifu touched the tassel on his sideburns, "You want the second so much, I've known you for many years, why don't I let it go to you!" ”
Ci Nianqiu's smile remained unchanged, but her tone was much colder: "Hmph, isn't it sad that my brother didn't marry you in the end?" ”
"Ci Nianqiu, you and your brother should go to see the doctor." Fei Zhifu glanced at her, "I've been not interested in your brother from beginning to end, where did I misunderstand you?" ”
"You ......"
"Okay, there are so many people, hold it, don't show it." Fei Zhifu didn't look at her anymore after speaking, turned around and went to the auction hall first.
Fei Zhiying cheered her up excitedly: "Sister, you are amazing!" That's how you deal with that kind of hypocrite. ”
"Don't mess with her, be careful that she goes crazy and bites." Fei Zhifu breathed a sigh of relief, every time she met that woman, she had to fight with her words, and she couldn't afford to provoke the most beautiful one, so she was looking for her own bad luck.
"Did the two of them quarrel?" In the private room on the second floor of the auction hall, the tanuki jumped back from the terrace, "Old Ancestor saw them with such expressions. ”
As he spoke, he bared his teeth and smiled fiercely.
"Hehe, Xiaoqing'er looks good." Ying Qingcang fed her a candied fruit, "That's the daughter of the sect master of Cihang Sect, the one who is about to get married." ”
The tanuki thought about it, and estimated that it was in the right number: "The groom is her brother." ”
"Hmm." Ying Qingcang heard it very clearly just now, and the words of the two women did not escape his ears.
"Then why are they arguing?" The tanuki thought the two women were so strange that they could still smile when they quarreled, but the smile was so ugly.
Ying Qingcang thought for a while: "There is a list of beauties in the Broken Yuan Continent, and they are all on the list. It seems that they are not convinced by each other's rankings, so they don't have a good face when they meet. ”
"Beauty list?" The tanuki froze, "The prettiest one?" ”
"That's what the people out there said." Ying Qingcang never thought how beautiful those women were, even if he didn't go into the world a hundred years ago and didn't know Xin Qing, he didn't think those women were beautiful.
The tanuki suddenly looked at him vigilantly: "Do you think they are beautiful too?" ”
"In my eyes, Xiaoqing'er is the most beautiful." Ying Qingcang stretched out a finger as long as jade and nodded at the nose of the tanuki, "In my heart, there is only one Xiaoqing'er." ”
Looking at Ying Qingcang's eyes, the tanuki felt that something was too full to hold and was about to overflow. But she didn't know what it was, and it made her feel uncomfortable and itchy.
"I knew you were a good servant!" However, this feeling was fleeting, and the tanuki soon became happy again, and patted Ying Qingcang's hand, "How can other people have the good ancestor, that beauty list is a lie." ”
Ying Qingcang rubbed her head: "Yes, it's all a lie." ”
Fei Zhifu showed a gold card and was taken to the private room on the second floor by the waiter.
"Oops, we forgot about the tanuki!" After saying that, she wanted to go out again.
"Don't go." Fei Zhifu stopped her, "Ci Nianqiu is here, I don't worry about you." Besides, you know that she's the most careful, and it's not good to see you and the tanuki together. ”
For a moment in Fei Zhifu's heart, she hoped that Ci Nianqiu and the owner of the tanuki would face each other, and I believed that she would not be able to bargain......
In another private room, Ci Nianqiu was losing her temper.
"That Fei Zhifu goes against me every time, I really don't know why my father didn't let me turn my face with her, isn't it Jingyue Valley? Could it be that I, Cihangzong, am still afraid that she will not succeed! ”
The pair of twins stood behind her on the left and right, and the one in the dark green robe stepped forward and poured her a cup of tea: "It's not that Miss doesn't know the situation in the cultivation realm, if Mirror Moon Valley is a small sect, it's fine, but he is also a big sect on the same level as our Cihang Sect, so ......"
"Every time I say that, now that my brother has married the woman from Tianji Tower, isn't two to one still comparable to a Mirror Moon Valley?" Ci Nianqiu snorted, "It's all my father's fault, if he let his brother marry a real sister, it would be much better than Tianji Tower." ”
Another man in a crimson robe reminded her: "Miss, you forgot, Huang Zhen likes that genius Ying Qingcang a hundred years ago." ”
"I haven't seen that person again, don't they all say he's dead? Why does Sister Zhen have to like a dead man......"
The twin brothers glanced at each other, they hadn't seen Ying Qingcang, the war between humans and demons back then, they weren't qualified enough to play, they only heard people say what a talented person he was.
"Miss, what do you want to buy later, hurry up and buy it and let's leave, otherwise the young master will be in a hurry."
Ci Nianqiu smiled: "Let him be anxious, it's not me who will get married, I promised my father that he would pick up his relatives, and he would be able to appear when the time comes!" ”
She just doesn't like the woman in Tianjilou, she wears a veil all day long, who knows if it's a human or a ghost, maybe it's an ugly monster.
"The auction has begun."
The tanuki stared at Ying Qingcang: "Did you overhear someone else just now?" ”
“…… How does Xiaoqing'er know? Ying Qingcang fed her another piece of fruit, "How do you know I can hear?" ”
The tanuki raised its hairy head, and bit the fruit in its mouth and said proudly: "I found out when I was in the Beard Sect!" What did you just hear? ”
"It's nothing ......" Ying Qingcang saw that she was about to stare at her, and hurriedly added, "The woman of Cihangzong is scolding those sisters. ”
The tanuki rubbed her paws: "That woman is not a good person at first glance, with high cheekbones, hanging eyes, and the bridge of her nose covering her forehead, and she looks like a sinister villain." ”
"Xiaoqing'er still knows how to read faces?" Ying Qingcang was a little surprised, what else was his tanuki hiding......
The tanuki's paws paused in mid-air, and Xiao Dou's eyes rolled: "Squeak!" It would have been, but I forgot how it happened, anyway, I just knew! ”
"Do you suspect the Ancestor?" She glared.
Ying Qingcang hurriedly gave her a smooth: "No, what Xiao Qing'er says is what it is!" ”
"Well, that's what a good servant!" Tanuki clapped his hands.
Yingqing turned his head slightly: "The auction has begun." ”
Two hours later, Ci Nianqiu sat in the carriage with a straight face, his eyes flashing through the grim calendar.
"Go and catch that tanuki for me, and as for the monk of the Jindan period, kill it on the spot!"
