Chapter 185: Auction of Stones
However, it seemed that the man was not unreasonable, so he no longer worried about anything, took a sip of tea, and then looked at Su Lun and said, "Xiaoyou, do you need help with anything? You are our honored guest, and you can say anything that can help." ”
After Su Lun said that he wanted to buy some commonly used pills, President Ma nodded and went to get them in person.
For a while, only Su Lun and Chairman Jiang were left in the lobby - and a little girl.
Su Lun saw the little girl sitting on the side who didn't speak or dare to move, so he walked over again and said, "Little sister, you can eat these things, my brother has no questions to ask you now, will I ask you again if I have any questions later?"
The little girl tilted her little head and thought about it, and said timidly: "Then my brother should remember to ask in the future." ”
Su Lun smiled, just at this time the second medicinal meal came up, he brought it over and said, "Don't be in a hurry to eat slowly, these are the same, but don't eat too much, it will be bad for your health." ”
Su Lun knew that for people who were chronically malnourished and hungry, it was easy to cause some problems if they suddenly ate too much, so he specially reminded him.
The little girl felt Su Lun's kindness, lowered her guard slightly, and nodded while eating, "I know brother." ”
On the side, President Jiang had actually noticed this little girl, and couldn't help but ask at this moment: "Xiaoyou, is she ......?"
Before Su Lun could speak, the young man on the side said: "President, this little girl has been here several times, at first I thought she just wanted to ask for something to eat, but I didn't expect that she didn't eat ordinary food, only medicinal food...... I don't know how to grow it, and I haven't cultivated to ......."
President Jiang was stunned, he didn't expect such a person, but after watching it for a long time, he didn't see anything different, just an ordinary little girl.
"The world is really full of wonders. He shook his head and sighed.
Su Lun watched the little girl eat for a while, and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal in her body, before sitting back next to President Jiang.
He pondered for a moment and said, "President Jiang, looking at your prestige in this city, this branch has been established for a long time, right?"
President Jiang nodded and said, "My name is Jiang Xiao, and Xiaoyou can call me Old Jiang or Brother Jiang." ”
Then he thought about it for a moment and said, "As Xiaoyou said, this place has been established for decades, and I am its third president. ”
"There is also Wanyun Chamber of Commerce in the town where I was originally located, and the president seems to be surnamed Yan, I don't know if you recognize it. He said seemingly unintentionally, but in fact, he focused on looking at Jiang Xiao with his spare eyes.
Sure enough, when he heard Su Lun say that his surname was Yan, Jiang Xiao's face changed, and he said, "It's my Yan family." ”
Saying that, he explained to Su Lun: "Our Wanyun Chamber of Commerce, the controller is the Yan family, or the Wanyun Chamber of Commerce is the business of the Yan family. ”
Seeing that Su Lun was a little puzzled, he said again: "Brother, do you think that I am not surnamed Yan?" In fact, all the branches in the past were managed by the children of the Yan family, but later there were more and more branches, and the Yan family was not enough, so those of us who had been assisting in the management of the Yan family were sent to various places to be branch presidents. ”
Su Lun nodded clearly, and then said, "Brother Jiang, the chairman of my town seems to be a young woman, I don't know if you know who it is?"
"Women?" Jiang Xiao frowned slightly, "There are not many women in the Yan family, and even fewer women in the younger generation, the second miss is going to prepare for marriage, and the third miss is still young and has not been sent out......"
He asked a little strangely, "Brother, do you understand wrong?"
Su Lun frowned and asked, "Isn't there another eldest lady?"
"Miss......" Speaking of this, Jiang Xiao suddenly sighed.
"But what's the matter?" Su Lun hurriedly asked.
Jiang Xiao shook his head, and a trace of dejection appeared on his face: "The eldest lady is under house arrest. ”
When he wanted to say something again, he finally waved his hand and said, "Brother, it's useless to talk to you about this, this is the Yan family's business, it's just a pity for the eldest lady." ”
Su Lun was even more anxious when he heard this, but he was afraid that this Jiang Xiao was the second young lady's person, so he endured the thought of asking deeply, and said first: "Miss Yan is under house arrest, why does Brother Jiang look so unfair?"
Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "The Yan family is now at a critical moment in the struggle for power, a few young ladies and a few young masters are in a fierce fight, as a member of the Yan family, we must also choose one person, which is equivalent to standing in line, and I chose the eldest lady." ”
It may also be that few people listen to him here, but at this moment, with Su Lun as a listener, he wants to say more, but he can't stop at the moment.
"Originally, everyone developed their own power, which is a very legitimate thing, but I didn't expect that the second miss used some tricks to frame the eldest lady, causing her to directly lose the right to compete for the head of the family. ”
Jiang Xiao's tone was a little angry, obviously very dissatisfied with the second lady: "If we lose in a dignified manner, we have nothing to say, but she is really a little excessive." ”
When Su Lun heard this, he asked, "If everyone knows that she is secretly using tricks, then why should they believe her?"
Jiang Xiao had a hint of bitterness on his face: "It's not that we believe her, it's that we have to believe it." ”
"Hey...... It's a bit of a violation of family rules to say this, Xiaoyou, even if you're interested, I can't say it anymore. ”
Su Lun was about to know more, but when he saw that Jiang Xiao didn't want to say any more, a trace of anxiety appeared on his face, and he said, "What about Miss Yan now?"
Jiang Xiao looked at Su Lun with some doubts, and said for a while: "Xiaoyou, I see that you seem to care a little about the eldest lady?"
Now, Su Lun also confirmed that he was not Miss Yan Er's person, so he decided to reveal some things to him.
He silently stretched out his left hand, and what he carried on his finger was the ring that Yan Ziyun gave him.
"This is ......" Jiang Xiao thought for a moment, and then showed an extremely shocked look on his face, and suddenly approached the ring to confirm it carefully.
After a while, he suddenly looked at Su Lun and said, "Who are you, why do you have the ring that the young lady is carrying?"
At this moment, Jiang Xiao's face was no longer kind, but looked at Su Lun cautiously, and his hand also carried Xuan Qi, staring at Su Lun tightly, waiting for his answer.
"Sister Yan used to be in Yunlan City, right? There is also an old man next to her named Li Xinghe, Li Lao ......."
Jiang Xiao listened to Su Lun say something about Yan Ziyun, and the more he listened, the more shocked he became, his face was already a little sluggish, and he said in disbelief: "Why do you know these things as an outsider?"
"Because I have a good relationship with Sister Yan, Sister Yan will share this with me. Suren said.
"I left Yunlan City later, I haven't seen Wanyun Chamber of Commerce for a long time, I don't want you to know about my sister's current situation, but I didn't expect these changes to occur after I left. ”
Jiang Xiao had already believed Su Lun's words, and there were some things that even he didn't know, but Su Lun could say it, and he could also feel the anxiety between Su Lun's eyebrows.
"Hey...... Xiaoyou, thank you for caring about Miss, but this matter ...... It's really something you can't solve. Although he was grateful that there were still people thinking about Yan Ziyun at this time, he also knew that Su Lun himself could not change anything.
He couldn't do anything in a Void Realm, let alone Su Lun's Fusion Realm?
"Forget it...... Since you want to know, I'll tell you," Jiang Xiao thought for a while, and said, "Actually, the young lady was not harmed, but she completely lost the qualification to compete for the patriarch, and it was a very reluctant crime. But because the second lady and the Hong family were married, considering the future of the family, this crime was forcibly confirmed by the eldest lady. ”
"Is the Hong family of Hongjiabao?" Su Lun frowned, he knew something about this Hongjiabao, this is a very big family, and it is a first-class force in the South China Sea.
If that's the case, it makes sense, taking the Hongjiabao line, the Wanyun Chamber of Commerce will be able to sell mystical artifacts more smoothly, and it will greatly expand their business.
Jiang Xiao nodded, and then changed his tone, and said, "It's not ......."
"But what? Brother Jiang, you're done. Su Lun hurriedly said.
"I'm not sure, but I think the eldest lady is quite safe now, and it's hard to say what will happen in the future, especially if the second lady becomes the head of the family, then with her character of retribution, it will definitely not make the eldest lady feel better. ”
Su Lun's heart lifted up again, clenched his fists, and said, "Could it be that there is no turning point?"
"At least in my opinion, I don't know what else to turn around......"
Jiang Xiao looked a little disheartened, and said softly: "They all think that it is a good thing to marry Hongjiabao, and they even do not hesitate to catch the eldest lady, but I don't think so, the Hong family ...... It's wolf ambition......"
On the mountain road, Su Lun walked fast, he calculated, the distance from here to the place where the Ten Thousand Sects Conference was held was the seaside, and his time was enough, so he didn't borrow the teleportation array in the town on the road.
Of course, his speed is still controlled to a certain extent, because he still has one person with him - a little girl.
After President Ma brought the elixir, he used some of the remaining low-grade Xuanshi to pay, and did not use the top-grade Xuanshi because it was unnecessary.
And just as he was leaving, the little girl wanted to go with him, he didn't think about taking the little girl with him, but the little girl was helpless here, so he thought about taking it to Tianyun Sect, and he also wanted to know why the little girl's body could accommodate those medicinal foods.
As for Yan Ziyun's matter, he kept it in his heart, but he also knew that he had nothing to do now, and fortunately, there was still a period of time before the exchange of the head of the Yan family, so that he could still be prepared after this time.
Looking at the little girl lying obediently in his arms, he said as he ran: "Since you can't think of the previous name, then what do I call you now, little girl?"
"Brother can be called whatever he wants......
The little girl buried her head in Su Lun's arms and said softly.
Su Lun thought for a while and said, "Then I'll call you Xiaoxun first, okay?" I hope you can remember your name and background in the future." ”
"Hmm...... Xiao Xun thanked his brother. The little girl stayed with Su Lun for a long time, and gradually became less afraid, and her voice returned to normal and crisp.
Su Lun smiled, hugged her tightly, and sped up slightly, he was going to reach the next stop before dark, one of the largest towns in the South Sea, Black Flag City.
In the evening, he saw the tall walls in front of him.
Standing at the gate, there are still guards in the city, and there is still a long queue at the gate of the city at this moment, and everyone who enters the city has to hand over some dark stones.
Su Lun felt the people around him, basically all of them were cultivators, and it was estimated that they were all visitors from all walks of life who participated in the Ten Thousand Sects Conference, and they rested here.
Soon, when it was time to line up to Su Lun, the two imposing-looking guards stretched out their hands and looked at Su Lun.
Su Lun had no broken stone when he got up, but he took out the Dan robe unhurriedly and motioned to the two of them, and just now he found that Dan Xiu didn't seem to have to take the entrance fee.
"It turned out to be Dan Xiu, please come in. Sure enough, seeing Suren's clothes, one of the guards waved his hand and let Suren enter the city gate.
Walking into the city gate, Su Lun found a restaurant, and he didn't have the desire to eat, so he asked for a free cup of tea, and sat there, wanting to wait for a while to find an inn to rest, as for money, he also had a plan.
At this moment, the words of the people at the table next to him caught his attention.
"Big brother, we'll be able to walk to the beach in a few days, right?"
"Hmm. ”
On the table next to him, a thin man and a fat man, the two were eating and talking.
The fat brother obviously rarely goes out, and he is more curious about everything around him, and at this moment he said: "Big brother, I heard that there is a large-scale auction in Juzhen Building tonight, should we go and have a look?"
"Don't go, it's not interesting, rest early and hurry early. The thin brother shook his head.
"Hey...... Unfortunately, it is said that many cultivators have been pouring into the city recently, so this auction is very popular. The fat man said with regret.
When Su Lun heard the auction, his heart moved, he hadn't even figured out how to use this superb Xuanshi, he could go to see this auction, if he could auction something good, it would be worth spending it.
And it's been two or three years since he came to this world, and he's never been to an auction here, so he's a little curious about what kind of form it takes at the moment.
Thinking of this, he said to the little girl sitting next to him, "Xiao Xun, do you want to go and see the auction?"
Xiao Xun nodded, after following Su Lun, her introverted personality seemed to have changed a lot in just a few days, and she began to be interested in many things in this world.
Soon, when night came, Su Lun found someone and asked for directions, and then arrived at a place called Juzhen Building.
This building covers a large area, which is a little larger than the Wanyun Chamber of Commerce that Su Lun has seen.
Walking into the Juzhen Building, the first floor is a huge hall, with rows of shelves placed with all kinds of things, but they are all ordinary things, and Su Lun is not interested in looking at them.
He went straight up to the second floor, but was stopped by the guards on the second floor.
"Guest, do you have an invitation jade plate?"
"Invite the jade plate?" Su Lun was stunned, he thought it was a casual entry, but he didn't expect that there was such a thing as inviting the jade plate.
The guard saw that Su Lun was stunned, frowned, and said, "Please stop, the second floor is for guests attending today's auction." ”
"How can I get the Invitation Jade Plate?" asked Su Lun.
"This ......" the guard thought for a moment and said, "Today, during the day, we distributed jade plaques to all qualified people in the city, and it is now over. ”
"I'm a Dan Master, is that okay?" Su Lun said, taking out his Dan robe.
"I'm sorry, we can't make a decision on this matter, please go back. Seeing Su Lun take out the Dan robe, the two hesitated for a moment, and finally said.
Su Lun shook his head slightly when he heard this, and wanted to turn around and leave.
"Wait. ”
Suddenly, a voice came from the side.
Su Lun turned his head to look and saw a middle-aged man in cyan clothes standing at the top of the stairs, and it seemed that he was about to come down when he saw the scene just now.
When the two guards saw this man, they arched their hands and said, "Mr. Zhang." ”
"Mr. Zhang" nodded slightly, then looked at Su Lun and said, "This little brother, can you take a look at your Dan robe again?"
After Su Lun took out his dan's robe, his face changed and said: "I am the person in charge here, my name is Zhang Ming, and now I sincerely invite Xiaoyou to participate in this auction." ”
Su Lun thought about it for a while and understood, he probably knew the meaning of the rippled little tripod on this Dan robe.
"More Mr. Zhang. Su Lun smiled.
When Su Lun entered the second floor, he heard the whispers of the two guards behind him.
"What's wrong with Mr. Zhang today? Doesn't he usually pay the most attention to the rules?"
"How do I know...... This brother is certainly not ordinary......"
Following this Mr. Zhang into the second floor, he saw the layout of the second floor.
It is said that it is the second floor, but it is actually three or four stories high, with rows of seats at the bottom and small cubicles above.
Mr. Zhang said as he walked: "Little brother, I don't know if you have anything to auction here? If not, you need to pay some entrance fees." ”
Su Lun asked in a deep voice, "Can anything be auctioned here?"
Zhang Ming suddenly smiled and said, "Little brother, here, there is nothing we dare not auction, and I won't tell you that even if it is an ancient divine soldier, we can afford it." ”
He said these words with a strong sense of confidence.
Su Lun said: "Where is the Xuanshi?"
"Xuanshi?" Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, seeing that Su Lun didn't seem to be joking, and said suspiciously: "Don't hide it from Xiaoyou, we all use Xuanshi as trading currency here, but you want to auction Xuanshi?"
