Chapter Seventy-Nine: Suppression by Force
The white jade platform raised a few people to the fifth floor, and the housekeeper took Xiao He and a few people into a room.
The room was very normally furnished, and it was also very simple, and the housekeeper opened the door opposite and entered a hidden room inside.
After passing through a labyrinth of doors, I finally came to a dark iron gate.
The housekeeper knocked on the door, and a big man with a yellow shark appeared, glanced at it, and said:
"Butler, are you all here?"
The butler nodded, and replied:
"It's here, Xu Tong Zhenren of the Qingfeng Sect, and these two nouveau riches..."
The big man accepted the invitations of several people, checked them carefully, and saw that there was no problem, so he showed a smile and made a "please" gesture.
The housekeeper smiled and led a few people into this room, and Xiao He suddenly found that this place was simply unique.
A large crystalline light source is placed on the roof, making the whole space as bright as daytime, and the central part of the raised jade is wrapped in a large red carpet, showing nobility and elegance. There are four private seats in the east, west, south and north around the area, which are obviously arranged for guests.
At this time, on the throne to the east sat a man dressed in a strange garment, who was fat, and his whole body was not gold, silver, or precious stones, but iron. He wears a soft-iron hat, rounded iron beads around his neck, and ten iron rings of different colors on his hands. Even on his nose, there is a big iron nose ring.
This person must be the owner of Flax House and the owner of this auction. He held an iron cane in his hand and nodded lightly to the butler, who understood and arranged Xiao He and the others to the south seat together.
Xiao He sat down, and immediately felt a pain in his buttocks, and when he looked at it, it turned out that this seat was also made of iron, no wonder it was so hard.
The housekeeper's eyes were sharp, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to bring a few cushions to Xiao He and their seat cushions, and they felt more comfortable.
Xiao He saw five human races sitting on the elegant seat opposite, and the middle one was probably hundreds of years old, his hair was all white, scattered behind his head, and the wrinkles on his face told the endless vicissitudes of life. He had a long beard and sat upright, his eyes closed.
Xiao He turned to look at his hands, this was a pair of particularly large hands, there were thick calluses on the knuckles, and the lines in the palms even spread to the back of the hands, obviously a strong man who had entered the Tao with martial arts and had cultivated for many years.
The man seemed to sense that someone was secretly observing him, so he opened his eyes suddenly, and the vast force pressure surged like the sea on Xiao He's sea of qi, Xiao He was shocked, gritted his teeth, and desperately kept the blood in his abdomen from surging.
The old man's martial pressure was really amazing, Xiao He was sweating profusely after a while, and he couldn't hold on anymore, and a heat wave rushed to his throat.
"Oh no, if this mouthful of blood spits out, my sea of qi will definitely be damaged, and it will definitely take a long time to recover..."Xiao He said secretly.
A hand caressed Xiao He's arm at some point, and the continuous warm energy came, which suddenly filled Xiao He's veins and reached his sea of qi.
This energy was warm and comfortable, gently soothing Xiao He's sea of qi and immediately letting it settle down. Xiao He's pressure dropped suddenly, and the qi and blood that was about to spurt out of his mouth gradually receded.
Xiao He looked at it and found that it was Xu Tong who helped him on the side, he was still that drunk, gently patted Xiao He's arm, and said:
"Brother Xiao, you have to be careful, the old man on the other side is a martial saint. ”
"Martial Saint?" Xiao He said secretly, no wonder he could make himself so embarrassed at a glance.
"The one-star martial saint of the Shenfeng faction, Dong Yuan. Don't look at it as just one star, I may not be able to break through it in my life..."Xu Daodao, his eyes were still very loose, as if nothing had happened just now.
Dong Yuan snorted, closed his eyes again, and whispered:
"The yellow-haired boy also dares to look at the old man?"
Flax and the other mermaids obviously didn't know that the two sides had communicated just now, and they were still discussing something.
After a while, the flax stood up, saluted the guests of the north and south seats, and then said:
"Welcome the distinguished guests of the human race to come to the flax family as guests, as the patriarch of the flax family, I would like to pay the most sincere respect to the arrival of all the guests..."
"Our flax family has worked hard for the Blue Shark people, who are they? In the eyes of the Yellow Shark people, they are slaves and inferior people. But my flax family is different, we are in line with the principle that the mermaids are all a family, take them in and give them a bite to eat. ”
"We even used the relationship of the city lord to allow them to go to the Kyushu mainland to live and live a happy life. We are their saviors, their benefactors..."
"This time, all the distinguished guests also adhered to the principle of the Kyushu family, and came to my flax house to take in these lovely blue shark people, I am very moved..."
As he spoke, the flax was left with tears, and he sobbed, and he wiped away his tears, and continued:
"However, we also know that these blue shark people also have families, and if you take them away, you also want to give some benefits, right?"
"For the sake of fairness, my flax family held this auction, which has been around for hundreds of years now. ”
As he spoke, he picked up a stack of signs from his hand and explained to both sides:
"The auction will start soon, this time there are a total of fifteen blue shark girls, divided into one to three grades, and this time the first card is not ordinary, I mean not only her appearance, but also her merman orb, the most beautiful and noble I have ever seen..."
"This auction implements a card system, with ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand to ten million brands, representing different catties of cold iron. The price will be increased every time you raise a card, and the default is to add one unit, of course, you can also say the number of you want to increase the price..."
The flax patriarch explained the rules of the auction and motioned to his men to hand out signs to the bidders in the north and south.
Lin'er took these brands in her hand, looked at them again and again, and said to Xiao He:
"It's the first time I've seen such an auction method, it's really interesting..."
Seeing that the sign was ready, the flax patriarch nodded, and then said:
"I said in advance, if no one has increased the price after three quotations, the transaction will be made, you don't want to lose the opportunity, hehe..."
Xiao He saw that Xu Tong was about to fall asleep in a daze, so he pulled his clothes and asked:
"Wake up, Brother Xu, the auction is about to start, neither of us has any experience, and we still expect you to preside over it!"
Xu Tong was about to fall unconscious at this time, but he still refused to use his strength to force the wine out. His head was resting entirely behind the back of his chair, his limbs hanging like mud.
"I can't do it anymore, you guys can shoot for me... Remember, except for Lan Yu, I want to do it all this time, you only need to bid higher than that Dong Yuan, it's very simple..."
After Xu Tong finished speaking, he actually snored, and Xiao He and Lin'er's faces darkened.
"Lin'er, what should we do?" Xiao He obviously didn't know anything about this.
Lin'er rolled her eyes, grabbed the sign in her hand, and said to Xiao He:
"Since Xu Tong said that he wants to overpower the old man opposite, let's do it!"
