Text Chapter 168: The Lingyi Family
As Meng Ruping said before, there were indeed four bodyguards guarding the two entrances on both sides of the main entrance of the venue, and searched the guests who entered.
Sun Fei and Lingji officially entered the hall through the main entrance.
It's not so much an auction venue as it is a small museum.
In the center of the large hall is a finely crafted European-style carpet, and on the side walls hang a row of masterpieces of different styles. There are also two symmetrical statues of the goddess on both sides of the corridor leading to the interior, but the name of the goddess is unknown.
The guests in the venue were scattered around, greeting or stopping for a word or two. These guests also had one or two personal bodyguards behind them, but some of these bodyguards were not just ordinary bodyguardsβthey were cultivators.
The cultivation of these cultivators is also very different, but in any case, with the cultivation of these cultivators, it is not enough to see it in front of the current self, not to mention that there is a Lingji next to him who is even a little higher than himself.
It's just that, in addition to these bodyguards, there are also some staff members in black uniforms in the mansion.
The chests of these people were embroidered with a golden half-winged logo, which was exactly the same as the pattern engraved on the VIP card they had obtained.
Thinking of what Huang Tianxiang said just now, Sun Fei estimated that this should be the symbol of the so-called Lingyi family.
But judging from this name, it is presumable that this family should not only be controlled by a family with one surname, but a large family united by multiple families with different backgrounds and histories.
The most surprising thing for Sun Fei was that these uniformed staff members were basically cultivators, and a small number of them had even reached the level of the Golden Cicada Gu Lord's cultivation.
"Sun Fei, Sun Fei." Ling Ji suddenly gently tugged at the corner of Sun Fei's clothes and called in a low voice.
Sun Fei came back to his senses and replied softly, "What's wrong?" β
Lingji frowned and said, "Who was that woman just now?" It's really annoying. β
"That's a long story, you don't have to worry about her, just let her play a one-man show by herself. What, you're jealous? Sun Fei smiled indifferently.
"Who's jealous? You're jealous! Ling Ji snorted, and although she tried her best to deny this, her little hand twisted Sun Fei's waist hard.
While the two were talking, a figure dressed in dark gray professional clothes walked over to the two of them, smiled and said, "I thought you would come alone." β
Sun Fei glanced at Meng Ruping behind him and looked at it slightly.
At this moment, Meng Ruping's whole body reveals a heroic temperament like a white-collar worker in the workplace, and after tying up her long hair and matching it with a pair of glasses, this temperament is even more prominent.
"Bring her over to play, you can't let her stay in the store all the time." Sun Fei said as he reached out and gently stroked Ling Ji's little head.
Ling Ji suddenly opened Sun Fei's hand in shame, glared at Sun Fei, and said a little angrily: "What, do you have any opinions when I come over?" β
Meng Ruping smiled indifferently, tilted her head slightly, and said, "How can you have an opinion, I'm just worried that you will cause some trouble." β
"Don't worry, I expected it, I'll watch her." Sun Fei waved his hand and said.
When Lingji heard this, she immediately clenched her pink fists in annoyance and said, "Okay, am I a troublesome spirit in your eyes!" β
Ling Ji's reaction made Sun Fei and Meng Ruping laugh in unison, and soon, Meng Ruping put away her smile and said, "Having said that, I still have to remind you to pay more attention to your surroundings, and you should also see that there are many cultivators here who are not low, and the purpose is to prevent some unexpected situations." β
Hearing Meng Ruping take the initiative to mention this matter, Sun Fei asked suspiciously, "Speaking of which, what is the identity of these cultivators?" I heard that they belonged to a certain family of cultivators? β
Meng Ruping frowned slightly and said, "Hmm...... This matter is a bit complicated to explain, anyway, your original purpose today is just a spirit weapon, if you really want to know, I will tell you slowly later. Well, take this, and I won't care about the rest of the matter, see you later. β
Meng Ruping handed Sun Fei a sign with a number, then turned around and hurriedly walked away.
Sun Fei shrugged helplessly, although he didn't understand that Meng Ruping was busy dealing with various things and didn't have time to explain so much to himself. But hearing Meng Ruping say this, Sun Fei became more and more interested in this so-called "family".
Since there are cultivators in this world, there must also be some powerful families that have continued from ancient times to the present, there is no doubt about this.
This kind of invisible family often secretly occupies some important parts of the machine in society, and may even control part of the lifeblood of the country's economy, so it can be said that the existence value of this kind of family is even much higher than that of the cultivators themselves.
Since the organization to which Meng Ruping belonged would entrust their loot to this family for auction, it would definitely be a lie to say that there was no relationship between them other than commercial cooperation.
Sun Fei couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth and sneered, the water of these families is really not ordinarily deep. Although the family itself is in China, it is involved in this internationally notorious organization, and I don't know what intentions the old things behind it are in their hearts.
Forget it, Meng Ruping is right, today's purpose is just to come to the auction, let's talk about it in the auction hall first.
Then, Sun Fei took Lingji and walked into the auction hall.
On the platform in front of the auction hall was a white prismatic platform like a lectern, and the logo of the Lingyi family was painted with golden spirit stone powder on the side. On the huge wall behind the platform, there are three huge splicing screens, which seem to be prepared to take care of the auction items that may not be able to be seen clearly.
At the moment, the auction is still making final preparations, and the guests are not in a hurry, chatting with other guests in the auction room, or standing in a corner by themselves, sipping cocktails while waiting for the auction to begin.
And not long after Sun Fei and Lingji came in, Huang Tianxiang and Lin Miaoyu's mother and daughter also walked in, Huang Tianxiang naturally came over here immediately after seeing Sun Fei, and said hello to various guests along the way.
I have to say that Huang Tianxiang's appearance at the moment can be described as a shy flower in the closed moon, with a curvy and slightly plump figure, an angel-like delicate face, and a goose yellow chest-length dress, which perfectly shows the skin.
Every male guest who greeted Huang Tianxiang all cast their greedy eyes on the pair of criminal breasts on Huang Tianxiang's chest, and where Huang Tianxiang passed, it inevitably attracted a fiery gaze.
And Sun Fei was unmoved when he saw Huang Tianxiang's mother and daughter coming over, but Lingji next to him saw Huang Tianxiang coming over, and immediately showed a very explicit look of disdain.
"Sun Fei, let's change places." Ling Ji gently tugged at Sun Fei's sleeve and said.
Sun Fei gently waved the index finger of his right hand and said with his mouth: "Don't act casually, that will attract unnecessary attention." β
Lingji suddenly sighed like a deflated ball, revealing a look of unhappiness, and simply turned her gaze away.
After Huang Tianxiang walked to Sun Fei's side, he glanced at Lingji beside Sun Fei, and chuckled: "The master's little female companion seems to be very unhappy." β
"You're all sorted." Sun Fei didn't take Huang Tianxiang's words, and directly changed the topic.
Huang Tianxiang smiled indifferently, gently lifted his bangs and said: "It's just that I said hello to my friends, thanks to my ex-husband, I have also been exposed to a lot of things in the business field." β
Sun Fei narrowed his cigarette, hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Oh? I don't think it's just a matter of 'business' today. β
"Giggles, sure enough, the master saw it. That's right, this auction is actually an underground auction hosted by a family, and people who have nothing to do with this family will not get a pass at all. Huang Tianxiang said softly.
Seeing Sun Fei's reaction, how could Huang Tianxiang not see that Sun Fei knew almost nothing about this. I'm afraid that Sun Fei obtained the admission card here through some means, and the purpose was simply to buy it.
Sun Fei raised his eyebrows, and his heart really talked about this problem. Then he thought about it for a while, and said indifferently: "It seems that the family you are talking about is not only strong, but also attaches great importance to this auction." β
Huang Tianxiang smiled and said, "Of course, the predecessor of the Lingyi family has a relationship since the time when Taizong founded the Tang Dynasty. Although the power shrank rapidly hundreds of years ago, it had to unite the two major families of Fu and Jin, and changed the family name to Ling Yi. Regardless of the ancestors in the family for the time being, only among these young descendants, there are also many people who have achieved cultivation. β
Then, Huang Tianxiang motioned to Sun Fei to look at a corner of the auction hall with his eyes, and said softly: "Master, look, the ones who are wearing embroidered Lingyi family crests are the juniors of this family. β
"Hey, is it the Bigu period, I see......" Sun Fei muttered in a low voice.
In this way, although there seemed to be a lot of cultivators watching the scene in this venue, there was actually no actual threat.
For my current self, the Bigu period is indeed completely insufficient.
Although he hasn't formed a pill yet, with the condensed nature of Xuan Qi, even if he doesn't need a pill, he can easily kill a cultivator in the Golden Pill stage.
And Ling Ji was in the double cultivation that night, through the process of calling Meng Ji out, she automatically completed the knot, so Ling Ji's current strength can basically be positioned around the peak of the Yuan Infant Stage.
"Master, I would like to ask, which of the lots in this auction are you more interested in?" Huang Tianxiang asked with a smile.
Sun Fei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows, let it be." β
"Giggles, if you accidentally pick up some of the auctions that have been set in, you might cause a little trouble." Huang Tianxiang suddenly showed a glimmer of essence in his eyes and said softly.
"Oh? And what's going on? Sun Fei raised his eyebrows and said.
