Chapter 15: The Three Strongmen of South White City
"Elder Liu, you can sit here. Su Wan led Ye Tian to the first row of seats next to the auction table, her body bent slightly and made a gesture of please, and the two white rabbits on her chest seemed to be unbearable and wanted to jump out.
Ye Tian just glanced at it and sat down, after all, now that he was an 'old alchemist', he couldn't keep staring, in that case, the mysterious aura on his body would likely be broken.
There are seven rows of seats in the auction room, and these seats surround the auction table inside and out, so that everyone who sits can see the auction table.
The seats in the first row, which are closest to the auction table, can see the auction items more clearly, and these seats are intended for people with status or wealth.
"Who is this person and why is he in the first row?"
"Wearing such a suit, there shouldn't be any disease, right?"
"It shouldn't be a local, but the chief auctioneer Su Wan actually led the seat in person, so she must have a great background. ”
In everyone's impression, even the city lord of Nanbai City came here, Su Wanru just greeted politely, how could she personally lead others to take a seat, the background of the auction house was known to everyone, and even the doorman had an arrogant heart.
"That Wan'er is leaving, the auction is about to start, I have to go and prepare first. Su Wan said respectfully.
Seeing that the black-robed man nodded and didn't reply, Su Wan turned around and twisted the willow waist and left.
Looking at the back that was gradually moving away, Ye Tian was relieved, and slowly exhaled a breath of depression, feeling that the small tent that no one had found was slowly getting lower due to the cover of the black robe, Ye Tian also smiled bitterly and shook his head, Su Wan's every move exuded endless temptation, I was afraid that any young martial artist would not be able to resist, and said secretly, fortunately, I didn't lose my temper, otherwise it would be too big.
After a while, many figures poured in from the entrance of the auction hall, and the dress and temperament of the first three people looked very extraordinary.
The person on the left, Hao Ran, is Ye Tian's father, Ye Zhan, and the person on the right is the head of the Meng family, Meng Yuan, who can walk in the middle of the front, is naturally the city lord of Nanbai City.
"Even the lord of the city is here, it seems that this auction is exciting?"
"Looking at the white hair on Ye Zhan's sideburns, it should be because Ye Tian was saddened, but why are you so happy today. ”
"The three major forces of South White City are here, is there any great treasure today?"
Seeing the three people who had just entered, the crowd suddenly resounded with a whisper.
"Brother Ye, I haven't seen you smile like this for a long time, haven't you met something happy. City Lord Lin Fan turned his head, and a faint smile appeared on his calm face, and asked Ye Zhan.
"Well, it's just that some old guy's wish has been disappointed, so I'm a little happy. Ye Zhan said with a light smile, and then glanced at Meng Yuan with a sneer.
"Ye Zhan, are you alluding to me or something?" Meng Yuan said gloomily when he heard this, he naturally knew that the person Ye Zhan was referring to was himself.
"Meng Yuan, what have you done yourself, do you have to let me know it thoroughly?" Putting away his smile, Ye Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, with a slight murderous intent, and he stared at Meng Yuan and said.
"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Meng Yuanjiang turned his head and did not continue to speak, but a trace of evil intent flashed in his eyes that no one noticed, and he secretly said in his heart: "See how long you can laugh." ”
"Ahem... I heard that there is an auction of good things this time, so don't have any conflicts, be happy. ”
Looking at the tense momentum of the two, the city lord coughed lightly and smiled and played a round.
Although Ye Zhan and the two were not in harmony, they naturally gave the city lord a face, so they walked to the seats in the first row together.
Because there are only seven or eight seats in the first row, they are generally reserved for people with noble status like them, but Lin Fan and the three of them just came to the first row, but they saw a person in a black robe sitting in it, and the eyes of the three of them were puzzled.
At this moment, a maid from an auction house came to the city lord Lin Fan and said in her ear: "The king steward said that this person is very big, and he must not be offended, otherwise it will be too late to regret it." ”
Ye Zhan and Meng Yuan were martial artists after all, and their ear power was naturally beyond ordinary people, and their brows were also furrowed after hearing this.
Hearing this, a surprise flashed in the eyes of the city lord, and he took off the title of the auction house manager, Wang Shui is a second-grade alchemist, even if he is himself, he does not dare to offend, and Wang Shui specially instructed him not to offend this person, and the implication is obvious.
"Lin Fan, the city lord of the contemptible South White City, I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" Lin Fan walked to Ye Tian's side, arched his hand with a smile and asked.
"The old man's surname is Liu, and everyone else calls me Liu Lao. ”
If you want to pretend to be forced to the end, Ye Tian didn't get up, but said coldly, because alchemist is the most noble profession, if he stands up out of politeness, he is afraid that people will look down on him, so he exudes a sense of arrogance.
"! Even when the city lord greets him, he doesn't stand up, and this person is arrogant!"
Two warriors who were sitting not far away, seeing this scene, one of them suddenly exclaimed.
The face of the person at the same table changed, and he immediately went up to cover the mouth of the straight-talking person, and whispered: "Shhh, you don't want to die, don't you see that the city lord is so respectful, if he hears your words, who can protect you in this Nanbai City?"
The warrior who had just been shocked heard the reminder of his companion, woke up like a dream, was shocked into a cold sweat, his eyes were full of horror, turned around, and left the auction house quietly with his companion.
"Liu Lao, this is my city lord's jade pendant, I will give it to you, in the city lord's mansion under the name of the restaurant consumption and the fang market consumption, all the costs are borne by the city lord's mansion, if you have any gadgets, you can also avoid some trouble. ”
Lin Fan took off the jade pendant on his waist and handed it to Ye Tian in front of him and asked, with some expectation in his eyes.
Lin Fan thought that if this move could befriend the old Liu in front of him, then the position of his city lord would definitely be more tight.
"Elder Liu, contemptible Ye Zhan, the head of the Ye family in Nanbai City, please accept this family jade pendant. ”
"Contemptible Meng Yuan, the head of the Meng family in Nanbaicheng, hopes that Liu Lao can also accept the jade pendant of the family below. ”
Ye Zhan and Meng Yuan saw that the city lord was so generous and not far behind, so they handed Ye Tian their own jade pendant.
The jaws of the people in the auction hall almost dropped when they saw this picture, you must know that these three people are the existence of overlords in Nanbai City, but at this time, they are like juniors, surrounding the black-robed people.
“... In this way, the old man accepted it. Ye Tian pretended to hesitate for a while, after all, he was an 'alchemist', and it was impossible to accept the gift easily, which would make him appear very greedy for money, thus lowering his status.
After taking the three jade pendants, Ye Tian just glanced at them and put them into the storage ring.
Originally, Ye Tian didn't plan to take Meng Yuan's jade pendant, because this was equivalent to slapping him in the face, not only because the Meng family was a hostile family of the Ye family, but more importantly, Meng Yuan bribed Hong Shan to smash his dantian.
However, a spiritual light flashed from his mind, and Ye Tian took it.
"Hehe, I'll have to slaughter him when the auction house is over. With an evil smile in his heart, the corners of Ye Tian's mouth hooked a trace of arc that no one noticed.
"Everyone, the auction begins!"
A touching voice sounded on the auction table, drawing everyone's attention back.
