"Alright, don't be upset, I'll tell you what the auction will be when I look at the contents of this invitation first. ”

Hearing Ye Chen's promise to solve his doubts, Pearl's face suddenly became sunny again, and he sat obediently and waited silently. The old man with a hundred poisons on the side had already come to Ye Chen's side as soon as Ye Chen opened the invitation.

"Hundred Poison Seniors, you said that this Luoyu City's Supreme Treasure Auction, should we go, or ......?"

"Go, of course I want to go!" Before Ye Chen finished speaking, the old man of the hundred poisons couldn't wait to agree, and the right hands of the two of them landed on the last few lots listed at the end of the invitation, and the last one was on the black dragon backbone.

As the two looked at each other, the old man said with a smile: "Since the Holy Son has seen everything, there is no need for me to say more about the old man." ”

"Yes, it seems that we have to go to this Luoyu City's treasure auction. Ye Chen nodded, followed by a smile, with an inevitable light in his eyes, and then greeted the pearl again, patiently explaining what an auction is.

Early the next morning, Ye Chen took the old man of the hundred poisons and the pearl to the door of the Xun family inn, and was immediately stopped by someone, "Young Master Ye Chen, this is going to leave to prepare for the auction, ......right?

"This ...... Okay. It can be seen that the Xun family standing at the door has been waiting for him for a while, and Ye Chen can't refuse, so he can only follow the other party and walk out.

"Young Master Ye Chen, this Luoyu City's Supreme Treasure Auction is inside, and it is inconvenient for the small ones to continue to enter, so they can only send Young Master Ye Chen here. ”

Ye Chen raised his head, looked at the three big words "City Lord's Mansion" on the door plaque, and was stunned for a moment before he pointed to it hesitantly and said, "Aren't we going to participate in the auction......?" Isn't this the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Young Master Ye Chen, this auction in Luoyu City was prepared by the Nanyin City Lord for more than half a year, and it is naturally in the City Lord's Mansion, and the small one definitely did not lead the wrong way. ”

"I see, I misunderstood. Ye Chen smiled and nodded, after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but show a helpless smile on his face, he just said that he had to know that this was going on, and he asked the Xun family to send him directly to the city lord's mansion yesterday, why bother going around such a circle in vain, and finally come over.

"That'...... If Ye Chen's son knows, the little one will ......"

"It's okay, it's hard work for the Xun family brothers, we can do the rest by ourselves. ”

Beckoning the Xun family to leave, Ye Chen only heard that Pearl had already pulled his arm, and said in surprise: "Ah, young master, it turns out that this is the auction you said last night, it's really lively!

"Okay, you can just look at Pearl, have you forgotten what I told you last night?"

"Oh. Hearing Ye Chen's slightly serious voice, Pearl immediately lowered his volume, and said resignedly: "Pearl remembers that you can't speak loudly at the auction, but isn't it that you haven't gone in yet...... Well, just pay more attention to pearls. ”

Looking at Pearl's playful appearance, Ye Chen couldn't bear to teach any more lessons, and after handing over the invitation to the guards in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, he smoothly entered the City Lord's Mansion with Pearl and the Old Man of Hundred Poisons.

"Holy Son, according to what the guard at the gate just said, this auction will be held in the main hall in the deepest part of the City Lord's Mansion, but there are also some confidential auction items posted on the way that are not recorded in the invitation, so should we go directly to the main hall now, or ......?"

The words of the old man of the hundred poisons were actually the content that Ye Chen was entangled in his heart at this time, and he hesitated a little before making a decision: "En...... Since there will be lots along the way that are not on the invitation, let's take a look first, and maybe we can find something new. ”

"Of course. After Ye Chen finished speaking, his eyes were directly locked on the pearl on the side, "Although the auction has not officially started, you must not talk nonsense about pearls along the way for a while, you know?"

Under the sincere assurance of Pearl blinking his big eyes, Ye Chen took the two of them to look around leisurely with confidence. It's a pity that Ye Chen and the old man of the hundred poisons looked around carefully, but in the end they found nothing.

"Holy Son, it seems that the materials for this puppet technique are really hard to find, except for the black dragon dragon backbone on the invitation, there seems to be nothing worth selling in this treasure auction. ”

"Who's to say it isn't. Ye Chen shook his head, and the disappointment in his heart showed on his face, "It seems that my wooden ox and flowing horse can't be armed, so I can only get this black dragon dragon backbone first, and then go to other places to find a way." ”

After confirming that there were indeed no materials that could be used for puppetry in the other auction items posted in the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Chen and the Old Man of the Hundred Poisons suddenly lost their interest, and walked straight towards the depths of the City Lord's Mansion with a reluctant pearl, and finally found the main hall where the auction was held.

Looking at the furnishings in the main hall of the auction, Ye Chen had to sigh in his heart, the auction in the City Lord's Mansion was different, there were not as many fancy as the auctions of the ordinary chamber of commerce, there was neither a so-called "VIP room" with separate displays, nor a hidden number and seats. As far as the eye can see, all you can see is one by one, rows of identical seats, and different number cards next to each seat.

"Holy Son, looking at this posture, we should just find a place to sit down. ”

Seeing that there were constantly people entering the hall behind him, and the vacant positions were also visibly decreasing with the naked eye, Ye Chen nodded slightly, and then sat down nearby with the old man of the hundred poisons and the pearl, which happened to be "seventy-six", "seventy-seven", and "seventy-eight" No. 3.

"Young master, why is this auction so dark and boring......" Seeing that the auction didn't seem to have started yet, Pearl held back for a long time before finally couldn't help but complain to Ye Chen beside him.

"Isn't it yet the beginning? Ye Chen smiled and shook his head, only saying that he was afraid that the pearl would not be able to change it, so he could only patiently explain: "Don't worry, like I said yesterday, when the auction starts in a while, it will be lively, and you will definitely like it then." ”

"Really......?

As soon as Pearl's words fell, the four walls of the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion suddenly lit up one after another, illuminating the entire main hall brightly.

"Distinguished guests, all the distinguished guests who have not yet taken their seats, please hurry up and find a spare seat to sit down, our Luoyu City's Treasure Auction is about to start!"

The only difference in the entire main hall is a high platform in the direction where all the seats are opposite, and on the high platform at this time, there is an old man in a white robe, who is obviously the auctioneer of this auction.
