Chapter XXVIII: The Auction
Ji Ye went out and came to the door of Purple Shadow's room, and he reached out and knocked on the door.
"Knock knock" "Knock knock"
Zi Ying'er in the room heard a knock on the door and said, "Who?"
"It's me, Himeya," Himeya said outside.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" Purple Shadow wondered, what was Ji Ye doing with her so late without sleeping.
"That's right, today I heard that there is an auction tonight, and I was thinking about going there, I wonder if you are going or not?" Ji Ye explained.
"Oh, then you wait"
Ji Ye stood outside the door for a while, and Purple Shadow came out of the room, she was wearing a short white dress, her hair was a little wet, obviously she had just taken a shower.
Ji Ye glanced at Purple Shadow and said, "Let's go", "Hmm" Purple Shadow followed behind Ji Ye.
The two of them came to the street, and although it was night, it was not dark at all, and every building was brightly lit, and the streets were also illuminated, and now the streets had long since dissipated the noise of the day, and were replaced by the silence of the night, and the bright stars in the sky, and the bright, contemplative moonlight.
Ji Ye and Zi Ying'er walked side by side to the auction venue, not far from the door, Ji Ye saw that there was someone answering outside the door, not that there were still people, seeing this situation Ji Ye said: "It seems that we came in time"
"Let's go inside," Purple Shadow nodded.
"Don't be in a hurry, there must be some time before the auction, let's go somewhere else first" Ji Ye was not in a hurry, but walked towards the counter of the auction, Zi Ying'er was a little strange and followed.
Coming to the counter, Ji Ye said, "Do you want to collect things here?"
"Yes, I don't know what this teenager is selling," asked a man in his fifties at the counter.
"I don't know if you can collect weapons," Ji Ye said, and then took out seven or eight treasure-level weapons from his storage ring.
The purple shadow in the back saw Ji Ye take out something and guessed that he wanted to auction something.
"Treasure, treasure" The man was a little shocked, but he didn't expect a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy to take out eight treasures, thinking: What kind of person is this, is it the young master of whose family.
These treasures were obtained by Ji Ye from the bandits' den of the tiger head, and the other was obtained by the Hong family's guards.
Although the treasure weapon is useless to Ji Ye, but for other people, the treasure weapon is already a treasure, even the most advanced weapon of the four major families of Yuanfeng City is also a spiritual weapon, and a young man actually holds so many treasures, it is no wonder that the man is shocked.
Zi Ying'er was not surprised to see Ji Ye take out so many treasures, she was born into a big family, and almost every member of her clan had such a weapon, and she had long seen that the sword in Ji Ye's hand was not an extraordinary thing.
"This steward, can you take it" Ji Ye couldn't help but ask when he saw the surprised expression on the man's face.
"Yes, but I'll have to ask for advice, our appraisal elder, please wait a moment," the steward said apologetically, and then walked inside the auction house.
After the steward left, Purple Shadow asked, "Where did you get these weapons?"
Hearing Zi Ying'er ask herself, a smile appeared on the corner of Ji Ye's mouth: "Didn't I tell you, I ransacked a cottage, and these are trophies"
"Oh, it's quite hateful that I didn't get to you first," Purple Shadow said playfully with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Everyone else has killed me, can I not have some benefits?" Ji Ye was a little innocent and spread his hands.
Purple Shadow didn't speak.
After a while, the steward came out with an old man, the old man was wearing a white robe, full of gray hair, and his face was full of wrinkles left by the years, the old man came to Ji Ye and said, "This little friend, are you going to buy a treasure?"
"Yes, old gentleman," Himeya replied politely, then pointing to the weapon on the counter.
The old man came to the counter, picked up a long sword, looked at it, and tapped the blade of the sword with his hand, and in a short time he had identified all eight weapons.
Ji Ye asked, "Old man, how are these weapons?"
The old man put down the weapon in his hand and said: "Among these treasures of yours, two low-grade treasures, three medium-grade treasures, two high-grade treasures and a superb treasure sword, I don't know how many yuan stones Xiaoyou wants to buy."
Hearing the old man say that Ji Ye had never sold it and didn't know the price, Zi Ying'er seemed to see Ji Ye's thoughts and said, "If you don't take these treasures to auction, you must have auctioned them for a good price."
Hearing Zi Ying'er say this, Ji Ye's eyes flashed, and she said, "Yes, old man, I don't know if it's okay."
The old man also said when he heard Ji Ye's suggestion: "This method is okay, but we have to charge five percent of the transfer fee for the auctioned Yuanshi, I don't know what Xiaoyou wants."
"Okay, that's it"
The old man said: "According to my previous experience, this low-grade treasure weapon will be priced at a reserve price of 100,000 lower-grade yuan stones, a medium-grade treasure will be priced at a base price of 200,000 yuan, and a high-grade treasure will be priced at a reserve price of 500,000 yuan, as for this superb treasure weapon sword, it will be priced at a million lower-grade yuan stones."
Hearing this price, Ji Ye was really shocked, he didn't expect these things to be so valuable, and secretly said at the same time in his heart: I knew that I didn't want those yuan stones in the tiger head cottage, and I didn't have a weapon, thinking of this Ji Ye couldn't help but sigh: It's really a loss to be involved in the world!
After thinking about it, Ji Ye came back to his senses, looked at the old man and said, "Okay" and then said: "I don't know when the auction will be held"
"In another hour, the people from the Four Great Families and the City Lord's Mansion will start when they arrive," the old man said.
"Oh" Ji Ye was about to leave, and the old man said: "This little friend, this is the VIP card for our auction, you keep it"
Ji Ye looked at the purple jade carved into a card in the old man's hand, and said, "Why is this?"
"This is our auction rule, as long as the customer auctions something here and the value of the thing is more than one million yuan, he can get a VIP card," the old man explained.
"Thank you" Ji Ye thanked and then got the VIP card from the old man's hand, the old man looked at the person in charge and said, "Qin Kuan, you take this little friend to the VIP room"
"Yes, Qin Lao" The steward named Qin Kuan said respectfully, and then stretched out a hand to look at this Ji Ye and said: "This son, Miss is here, please"
Ji Ye nodded and Zi Ying'er followed Qin Kuan to the VIP room, and after a while, the two of them came to a delicate room under the leadership of Qin Kuan, in which there were more than a dozen fist-sized night pearls, which illuminated the room, Qin Kuan said: "This son, you do it here first, the auction will start later, and I will leave."
Ji Ye nodded, and after Qin Kuan left, he found a place to sit down, and Ziying'er also sat down.
Ji Ye said boredly: "I didn't expect that I got so many yuan stones after ransacking the cottage, so the money is really fast" After speaking, a bad smile appeared on his face.
Zi Ying'er looked at Ji Ye and said with a smile: "You don't still want to do this, do you?"
"Why not, Yuanshi came so quickly, if you meet me, you must do it" Himeya smiled evilly
"I think you want to be a bandit" Zi Ying'er said coquettishly when she saw Ji Ye's appearance, but then said with a playful and cute smile on her face: "Next time you want to do this, remember to call me"
Hearing Zi Ying'er say this, Ji Ye's eyes are really bossy, and her face is full of incredulity, is this like the Zi Ying'er she knew at the beginning, how did this become so, so bad.
Seeing Ji Ye's expression, Zi Ying'er pouted and said, "I've learned badly with you, how do you say you want to compensate me?"
Hearing Zi Ying'er's words, Ji Ye felt the urge to vomit blood, thinking: After all, I still brought her bad?, and then asked strangely: "What compensation do you want?"
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet," Purple Shadow's beautiful smiling face showed a deep sly smile.
"Jiang Yuanfeng, the head of the Jiang family," Ji Ye was just about to say something, when a loud voice interrupted him, and since the VIP room was upstairs, Ji Ye's eyes saw a man in a black brocade robe walking into the auction hall with a group of people.
"It seems that the auction is about to start, and even the head of the Jiang family has arrived"
"I think it's the same, I don't know when the other families will arrive"
Some of the first people in the auction room began to talk
"Yang Xia, the head of the Yang family, arrives"
"Liu Hong, the head of the Liu family, arrives"
"The head of the Zhong family, Zhong Quan"
As soon as these people finished speaking, the guards who greeted the guests at the auction shouted continuously
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Brother Jiang to arrive first" Another man in a green robe walked in with a group of people, thinking about the greeting of the head of the Jiang family who had arrived earlier.
"Are you also timely, the head of the Liu family," Jiang Yuanfeng, the head of the Jiang family, said coldly, and then looked at the other two heads of the family and nodded, and the two of them also returned the salute.
Liu Hong, the head of the Liu family, said: "A few of them are really timely, but I don't know what good things are in this auction."
Zhong Quan, the head of the Zhong family, said: "This kind of auction is only once a year, and there should be a lot of good things."
Yang Xia, the head of the Yang family, nodded and said: "Wait a minute, everyone has their own ability, and whoever shoots it will be counted as their ability."
Hearing the head of the Yang family cover up, the four of them all nodded, and the atmosphere became weird, filled with the smell of alternative gunsmoke.
"Everyone, be quiet, the auction is about to begin, let's go back to our seats," said one of the auction stewards as he walked to the stage of the auction hall and said loudly, and everyone fell silent when they heard it
This is the head of the Yang family who spoke: "The city lord's mansion has not yet arrived"
Several family heads are also you look at me and I look at you, I can't figure out why this city lord's mansion is so slow.
"The Castle Lord's Mansion Arrives"
At this moment, the loud voice of the guard sounded again, followed by a group of footsteps.
Walking in was a slightly chubby man, followed by ten soldiers in armor, each exuding a fierce aura.
As soon as this group of people came in, the eyes of the people in the auction hall were focused on them, and the head of the Liu family took the lead in speaking: "City Lord Wang, don't come to harm."
The slightly chubby man also spoke: "The clothes of the Yang family master, the city lord is fine."
The city lord said angrily, then looked at the other family masters, and said calmly: "A few of them came really early."
"It's not too late for the lord of the city"
"This auction is about to start, and the city lord is here at the right time."
"Let's all take a seat"
The three heads of the family all said politely.
The city lord Wang said politely to the three family masters, but he was not happy with the Liu family masters, and it was difficult for several family masters to persuade each other.
"Please get back to your seats, and the auction will begin," said the steward again.
The four family heads walked to their VIP room, and the people from the City Lord's Mansion were not far behind, and hurriedly walked to the VIP room, looking forward to the auction to be held.
Ji Ye in VIP room No. 8 saw the people from the City Lord's Mansion and the four masters walking to the VIP room, looked outside and said, "The auction is about to start"
"Have you started? I'm really looking forward to something good later!" Purple Shadow's eyes were shining, and her face was full of expectation, excited like a child.
Looking at such a purple shadow, Ji Ye didn't know what to say, and asked, "Shadow, why did you become like this, you weren't like this when I first got to know you, did you pretend to be at the beginning?"
Hearing Ji Ye ask herself, Zi Ying'er said mischievously: "People will change, don't you like me like this?"
"No, I just think you've changed a little bit" Ji Ye hurriedly explained, afraid that she would be angry, he didn't want to see Zi Ying'er crying
"Auction, start now" At this moment, the person in charge shouted loudly, Ji Ye also looked at the platform, and saw Ji Ye's eyes looking at the platform, and Zi Ying'er had to look at the auction hall together.
