Chapter 423: Three Elders
As night falls, the noisy street market during the day is much calmer now, but contrary to the stalls on these streets, the relatively quiet treasure building during the day has begun to become lively.
The sedan chair came one after another, and the little second brother who stood at the door of the treasure building to greet the guests never straightened his waist, and kept facing the big people who came, hunching his waist and greeting enthusiastically.
"Master Dong, you are here, come, come, please come in, please come in! The head of the Zhang family has already arrived first, and he is in the private room next to you, saying that he is waiting for you to go over and drink! ā
"Eh, Second Master Li, you're here, you can come really early today, hurry, please come in."
"Miss Chen, you are here, your arrival really makes our treasure building shine, quick, please come in, please come in, we have prepared your favorite flower tea, and send it to your private room immediately."
"Boss Huang, haha, you are really handsome in this dress today, anyone who sees it will praise it twice, I don't know what treasure you want to win tonight?"
"Master Wang, hey, Master Wang, I really didn't expect you to come over tonight, you must know that you came here so early, our boss will come to greet you in person, please take a seat!"

Lin Jinghan and the four of them sat in the attic on the third floor of the Tongfu Inn, where the light yƬ is not developed to the outside world, of course, this "light yƬ" is directly related to the amount of silver two.
When Lin Jinghan and the others proposed to go up to the attic, the shopkeeper didn't say a word, and immediately led them up, running up and down diligently, sending melon and fruit snacks, fragrant tea and sake, very interesting, of course, in the end, when Xu Shengrui took out a gold leaf to him again, the boss's smiling eyes on his fat face were invisible.
The location of the attic is very high, you can have an unobstructed view of the nearby landscape buildings, and the Tongfu Inn itself is open next to the treasure building, so in the attic, the window is open, and you can just see the busy gate of the treasure building below.
"That's a lot of people." Lin Jinghui held the teacup, leaned against the wall, looked at the endless stream of people coming below, and sighed.
"Well, it's only half past six, and the treasure appraisal meeting will only start at seven o'clock, and those big people haven't arrived yet." Dongfang Qi Xiu stood by the window with his sword in his arms, staring at the flow of people below without blinking.
"The treasure appraisal will be held for about half an hour, so that these people who come to participate in the exchange meeting know what treasures are taken out for auction in this exchange meeting, and it is also to test the authenticity of these treasures, although the treasure building has been screened first, but there is no guarantee that the treasures that appear here are genuine, so that these people who participate in the exchange meeting have a treasure identification, so even if there is a fake after the auction, then these people will have nothing to say, Who told you not to distinguish the true from the false? That's a great way to get away with it! Lin Jinghan took a green fruit and took a bite, it was sweet and crunchy, which made Lin Jinghan like it very much, and he bit it and said while clicking.
"And this is also a great opportunity to show the strength of a family or a sect, so that those who attend the conference know how strong their own family or sect is, and on the one hand, they can recruit talents, and on the other hand, they can also warn those who have bad intentions, so that they are afraid and dare not cause trouble." Lin Jinghui saw his baby sister gnawing on the green fruit very happily, so he also picked one up, clicked and gnawed it, and found that the taste was really good, so he nodded, but the words in his mouth did not fall.
Although it is a hidden world here, these tricks are still similar to the outside world, and there are many of these twists and turns, which are broadcast on TV.
"So these heads of any family will come, it is because of this, the exchange meeting is only held once every three years, and they are not clear about the changes in the strength of each sect and family, so they can only touch the water in this way, although it is not 100% a reflection of the strength of these family sects, but it can clearly know whether the strength of these family sects has increased or decreased." Lin Jinghan spit out the core in his mouth, and then aimed at a trash can in the corner of the wall.
"Struggle is everywhere!"
Lin Jinghan and the others were chatting around here, time was slowly passing, and those big names began to appear gradually.
The boss of Jianbao Building had already come to the gate, waiting respectfully, and when he saw a luxurious carriage gradually approaching, the boss immediately walked down the steps and greeted him.
"Third Elder, you've arrived!" The boss stepped forward, but the people in the car had not yet come out, so he shouted respectfully.
The door of the four-wheeled luxury carriage pulled by two horses opened from the inside, and a young man came down first, and when the young man jumped off the carriage, the boss immediately bowed to the young man and shouted happily: "Third young master, you are also here today?" I really didn't expect you to come over tonight, Third Young Master, it's really a surprise! ā
The young man looked arrogantly at the groveling boss in front of him, and snorted softly, which was considered a promise, but the voice came from his nostrils, and he was extremely disdainful.
The boss's disdain for this young man was as if he hadn't seen or felt it, he was still so respectful, and the expression on his face hadn't changed in the slightest, which made the young man look down on him even more.
"Xiaoyu, don't be rude." An old voice sounded, and an old man appeared at the door of the carriage, scolding the young man, and the disdain on the young man's face disappeared at once, and he immediately stepped forward and helped the old man down.
"Boss Zhao, don't mind, this kid is spoiled by our old guys." The old man was on crutches and said softly to the boss, but the meaning of these words was quite domineering.
It means that this kid is spoiled by us, if he makes any mistakes, you don't mind him, just let it pass, if you really want to deal with him, then come to us old guys!
But who really dares to go against these bigwigs because of such a small thing?
So the boss just smiled modestly, and said to the old man with a respectful expression: "Third Elder, how can you mind, the third young master This is a true temperament, those of us who are crawling around in the mall have long lost these true temperaments, and we really envy the third young master!" Third Elder, this treasure appraisal meeting is about to begin, you better go in first! ā
The old man on crutches was very satisfied with the boss's answer, so he nodded with a smile and walked towards the gate with his crutches, and the young man followed behind the old man, the boss was half a step behind, followed closely behind, and the attendants and attendants behind followed behind, mighty and vigorous, looking full of posture.
However, after the old man walked a few steps, he suddenly stopped, and the people behind him naturally stopped, looking at the old man in front of him a little inexplicably, not knowing why he suddenly stopped.
I saw the old man slowly turn his head and look in one direction, and the people behind him also moved with the old man's movements, and they all turned their heads to look in that direction, only to see that there was a window as far as the eye could see, and next to the window, there was a girl sitting there, who was leisurely holding a teacup and drinking tea, seeing the gaze of the group of people below, the girl seemed to be a little surprised, and then smiled slightly, holding the teacup and saluting.
The old man stared at the girl for a moment, then nodded slightly, smiled kindly, and then withdrew his gaze, and walked towards the treasure building.
"Grandpa, what did you just look at that woman?" The young man approached the old man and asked softly.
"Nothing." The old man shook his head, and didn't say much, but a hint of deep thought flashed in his dim eyes.
Seeing that his grandfather didn't want to say more, the young man didn't ask any more, closed his mouth, and obediently followed, but the boss turned his head again and looked at the window, only to find that the girl in front of the window had disappeared, and a solemnity rose in his eyes.
When the group disappeared in front of the treasure building, the attic window was suddenly closed.
"What a great old guy, we didn't emit any qi just now, but he still caught it." Lin Jinghan's face was a little solemn, this old guy's strength was higher than hers, and she couldn't see through his cultivation.
"This is the Third Elder, I just confirmed, there is indeed a gap in his left earlobe." Lin Jinghui said.
"Okay, it's good to confirm that the person is here, then let's go in now, the time of this treasure appraisal meeting is about to start, if we can see the elixir inside, then our goal has been completely confirmed." Lin Jinghan got up, patted the hem of her skirt, threw away the walnut she was holding just now, and turned to leave.
Xu Shengrui stood up at the same time as Lin Jinghan got up, side by side with Lin Jinghan, Lin Jinghui and Dongfang Qi Xiu followed, and after they left, the walnut on the table slammed and shattered into slag.
"Xiaohan, how do we get in?" Lin Jinghui asked curiously, this treasure building shouldn't be able to enter if you want to.
"Brother, don't worry, someone will take us in." Lin Jinghan smiled mysteriously, and then walked towards the treasure building with a few people.
When the four of them came to the gate of Jianbao Building, the welcoming Xiao Er saw someone coming, and immediately greeted him warmly, "Good evening, Miss Childe, may I ask which Miss Childe?" Do you have any invitations or letters? ā
Lin Jinghan reached into his sleeve, and just when he was about to take out something, a carriage that was more luxurious than the carriage of the three elders before suddenly arrived, Lin Jinghan's movements naturally stopped, and Xiao Er's eyes were also attracted by the carriage, which big man is here?
The door opened, and a young man in a light blue robe stepped out of the carriage, and before he could get out of the car, someone had set up his pedals for him.
One step, two steps, three steps, the young man approached step by step, and then stood in front of Lin Jinghan, and called softly: "Sister! ā
