The figure slowly walked over to the low table and sat down cross-legged.

Pei Yuanfeng and I both breathed tightly.

The master of Changming Sect - At this moment, each of us is thinking the same in our hearts, and our eyes are also like being worn by an invisible thread, looking straight into the inside of the bamboo curtain, as if we can't wait to see through that layer of bamboo curtain. But on the contrary, the finely woven bamboo curtain can only reveal a faint outline, and the qiē on the other side is covered by the bamboo curtain.

I can only vaguely see a silhouette, and it is a little unclear whether it is a man or a woman, but it seems that the figure is still relatively tall, and he walks very lightly, and he can't even hear a sound.

As soon as we saw him, both of us were a little nervous, Pei Yuanfeng couldn't even hold it back, and wanted to stand up with both hands on the table.

But, just when he just made a little move, the man next to him immediately said, "Pei Gongzi, please don't be impatient." ”

“……”

Pei Yuanfeng's brows furrowed.

Although he is not a weak scholar who is powerless, after all, this is still the territory of Changming Sect, if he really wants to do it, I am afraid that things will not be so simple.

I shook my head at him gently, and he was silent for a moment, then slowly lowered his hand on the edge of the table.

At this time, the person inside also sat down and raised his hand slightly.

Immediately, several servants came in and offered us hot tea, and the man inside took a cup of tea and took a careful sip.

Naturally, we can't eat anything, and we can't drink anything, and finally it's time to face this person, but we don't want a bamboo curtain to spoil our business like this. I raised my eyes and glanced at Pei Yuanfeng, he met my eyes, nodded, and then said, "The person who came, but the master of the Changming Sect?" ”

The person on the other side of the bamboo curtain was drinking tea, and when he heard his words, he raised his head and turned to his side, seemed to look at him, and then nodded slightly.

Immediately, the young man standing next to the bamboo curtain said, "Not bad. ”

Pei Yuanfeng and I glanced at each other, and our brows furrowed even tighter.

It seems that not only does the other party not want us to see his appearance, but he doesn't even intend to let us know whether his voice is male or female.

As Liu Qinghan said, if they agree, they have already thought of countermeasures.

Now, we are only separated from each other by a thin bamboo curtain, and we can even see each other's outline clearly, hear his breathing, see him drinking tea, and every movement of his gestures, but we can't act rashly, let alone step forward to lift the bamboo curtain and let it be in the daylight.

This feeling makes people feel particularly aggrieved.

Sure enough, Pei Yuanfeng's temperament was not so easy to bear, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and he immediately said: "The master of Changming Sect, since he has arrived, why don't you show your true face?" ”

The young man immediately said, "The master has arrived, so why show his true face? ”

Pei Yuanfeng looked at him: "What do you mean?" ”

The man said, "You have come today to bid for the mines, not to see my master. Now that the map is in front of the two of them, and the bidding is about to begin, what my master looks like has no effect on this sale at all. Let's think about how to bid later. ”

Obviously, they also set this up in advance.

Pei Yuanfeng and I glanced at each other, and understood that it was difficult to force this person out from behind the curtain before bidding, and after a moment of silence, he didn't say anything anymore and lowered his head, while I looked at the person on the other side of the curtain, sitting there motionless, like a statue.

However, when I also lowered my head and looked at the map in my hand, I felt that another gaze fell on me.

The man behind the curtain was looking at me.

It's not an illusion, it's not an imagination, I can almost feel the touch of the gaze that really falls on my skin through the bamboo curtain, the person's gaze is very quiet, but with a bit of patrolling, as if he is examining something, and when I raise my head and look inside, the gaze does not retreat in the slightest, but it is hidden behind the curtain, but it seems to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, layers of fog, so that I can not catch it.

At this time, the young man said, "Miss Yan, Pei Gongzi, you have already seen the map clearly, right?" ”

I came back to my senses, Pei Yuanfeng also raised his head, and both of us nodded: "Hmm." ”

"Well, let's take a look at the contract."

After saying that, someone offered the contract.

Although all my attention is on the person on the other side of the curtain, because Liu Qinghan said very clearly, he is determined to win this mine, and I have to take a serious look at the contract.

The approximate reserves of minerals, the right to mine for fifty years, the obligations of both parties, and the terms are clearly listed in this contract, obviously, Changmingzong did not do such a thing once or twice, and they were all very sophisticated, so after reading the contract, I glanced at Pei Yuanfeng and nodded.

Then the young man said, "Then please write down the price of your bid." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, two servants came out from behind the curtain, holding silver plates, with envelopes and a piece of snow-white paper, and pen and ink on our low tables.

Just as we picked up the pen and were about to write, the young man said, "I would like to remind you that if the bidding price written by both of you is lower than the price we prescribed, then the bid will fail, and both of you will be disqualified from bidding." ”

I raised my eyebrows slightly.

They are also very cautious, probably knowing that I have a lot of relationship with Pei Yuanfeng, and they are afraid that we will make something wrong, and even this point has been calculated first.

So, I smiled, looked down and picked up the pen, and wrote a few words on the paper.

After finishing writing, he raised his head and saw that Pei Yuanfeng had also finished writing, and he was folding the piece of paper in half and putting it in the envelope.

I did the same, and when I had put the envelope back into the silver platter, the two servants took it up again and carefully returned it to the curtain.

Through the curtain, we could clearly see that the man sitting in front of the low table had opened the envelope of the two of us, and took out the paper from it to look at it.

Then, the man fell silent.

The young man waited for a long time, but did not wait for a signal, he subconsciously glanced back, and saw the man raise his hand and make a gesture to him, he hurried in and took two pieces of paper from the man's hand.

When he picked it up and looked at it, his eyes widened.

"You-"
