Chapter 149: White and Flawless (Two More Flowers)
Stony Brook is the largest city on the edge of Western State. The north side is close to the Xia family, and the south side is adjacent to the Beast Taming Sect. There are also large and small family sects around, so that the people of Stony Brook City are prosperous and long-lasting. The Summoner Contest is held here every three years.
The bustling and lively street is full of people coming and going. Because of the Beast Tamer Competition, the young generation of large and small forces in the area on the edge of Xizhou mainly summon magical beasts gather here. Young talents, just to show off their skills in the animal trainer competition in the near future.
The white long skirt on the left side of the summer, graceful and colorful, Xia Xiaonan with a shawl of hair. On the right is a green floral skirt, an elf-like Yao'er. Two beauties accompanied by the left and right, attracting the surprised and dissatisfied eyes of the people on the street.
The four yin heroes are having a lot of fun, you chase after me in the street stalls, and when you see a beautiful woman, you will compare her with Xia Xiaonan and Yao'er. Jiang Xia looked thoughtful, always relieved about the safety of his parents, and even a little angry that Yao'er wanted to stay.
"Jiang Xia, what's wrong with you?" Xia Xiaonan asked softly, she also proposed to come to Stony Brook City to play.
"What's wrong with him, of course he's blaming me!" Yao'er curled her fingers at the end of her beautiful long hair, raised her willow eyebrows lightly, and smiled with interest.
"What do you blame?"
"Blame him for letting him stay now!" Yao'er turned sideways, her beautiful eyes looking directly at Jiang Xia, "I'm right!"
Jiang Xia frowned, pulled Yao'er aside, and asked the other party alone, "Yao'er, it was you who started arguing to leave, and now you are the one who wants to stay, I don't even know what you are going to do?"
Yao'er pouted, stretched out her white and slender jade fingers, and her big eyes were full of resentment, "Are you more fierce?"
"Me?" Jiang Xia suddenly lost his temper and spread his hands helplessly, "Okay! I'm afraid of you, then you tell me, why did you let me stay? Don't say that you want me to participate in the Animal Trainer Competition." ”
"Hey, you're enlightened?" Yao'er was slightly surprised, and her red lips smiled cutely, "I just want you to participate in the Summoner Competition." ”
"You're not kidding. ”
"I'm not kidding. Yao'er's face became solemn, and her beautiful eyes swelled with a little tenderness, "Jiang Xia, if you can win the championship and get another fragment of the Emperor Zun Stone, your cultivation speed will be greatly improved, at least at this stage of the Martial King." There is also a reward from the Xia family, which is a good opportunity for you. ”
Seeing Yao'er's serious appearance, Xia couldn't help but feel warm, and the complaint in her heart was thrown out of the clouds, "Yao'er, but there are many powerhouses in the summoner competition, and I am only a ninth-level martial artist, and I don't even have a decent summoning demonic beast, I'm afraid,"
Yao'er shook her head, with a smile in her eyes, her long eyelashes blinking slightly, Chu Chu moved, "I believe in you." ”
Xia's heart was like ice and snow seeing the sun, melting into water, and looking at Yao'er's gaze with a hint of strange feelings, he actually had the urge to take the other party into his arms.
"You, why are you looking at me like this?" Yao'er blushed, turned her face to the side slightly, and whispered, "Xiaonan is still there!"
Jiang Xia was stunned for a moment, and then realized that several people were still on the street. Xia Xiaonan was also looking at the two of them dissatisfiedly not far away. The four yin heroes also went crazy out of nowhere and lost their figures.
"Ahem. Jiang Xia coughed lightly twice, touched his nose embarrassedly, and returned to the same place with Yao'er, "Xiaonan, where are the four yin heroes?"
"I saw them run away after a pretty girl. Despite his displeasure, Xia Xiaonan didn't say much. Compared with Yao'er, she still belongs to a more gentle type.
Xia secretly wiped a handful of sweat, this yin man really didn't call them wrong. The three of them waited in place for a while, but they didn't come back, so Suo continued to shop for his own.
After a while, the crowd on the street became more and more numerous, and there were many handsome men and women, most of whom were heading in one direction. Raising Xia Jun's eyebrows, he saw a large building a hundred meters in front of him, and the door was quite wide, and many people were heading inside.
"That's the Treasure Hunt Building, the biggest treasure trading place in Stony Brook City. Xia Xiaonan explained to the two.
"Oh?Treasure Hunt Building?" Jiang Xia was slightly surprised, and immediately thought of the two biggest forces here, "Is that opened by your family or by the Beast Taming Sect?"
Xia Xiaonan smiled and shook his head, "No, behind this treasure hunting building is a chamber of commerce called "Tibetan Silver", they are a force close to the central part of Xizhou. ”
"Since it is a force in the central part of Xizhou, and you can still open the treasure hunting building here, your Xia family and the Beast Taming Sect shouldn't turn a blind eye, right?" It was Yao'er who spoke, and she knew much more about the rules between sects than Jiang Xia.
"Well, because Tibetan silver is mainly for business, plus he will give our family and the Beast Taming Sect five million gold coins every year, as long as the treasure hunt building will not cause any major trouble, there will be no big problem. ”
"I see. Yao'er wasn't much surprised, if the Tibetan Bank Chamber of Commerce wanted to make money here, it had to get the permission of the two major forces, 10 million gold coins a year, which was quite a bit of the past. Jiang Xia is not very interested in the mutual benefit of this kind of secret fight between forces, but is curious about what good things are in the treasure hunt building.
Yao'er saw through Jiang Xia's thoughts at a glance, and proposed, "Xiaonan, take the two of us in to see and see! You, the eldest lady of the Xia family, should have some privileges!"
"Hehe, I can't talk about privileges, but I do want to take you inside. ”
"It seems that my words are superfluous. Yao'er covered her mouth and chuckled, and her beautiful eyes didn't forget to glance at Jiang Xia, who was a little stunned.
The three of them chatted while walking, and after half a cup of tea, they entered the treasure hunting building. Jiang Xia's eyes suddenly brightened, he thought that there were so many people, and it would be more crowded inside, but on the contrary, although there were many people, it was not crowded at all, because the place inside was really big enough.
Like a bazaar, many people squat on the ground, and in front of them are placed treasures of various shapes and kinds of treasures or martial arts. Selling and boasting, bargaining is endless.
"The first floor is full of outsiders, and they only need to give ten gold coins to the treasure hunt building, and they can set up a trading position here. Xia Xiaonan carefully explained to the two.
Jiang Xia nodded, looking around, most of the people here are young men and women in gorgeous clothes, you can imagine the difference between here and outside, "Xiaonan, what about the second floor?" Jiang Xia saw the corridor leading to the second floor, where there were five or six guards in samurai suits standing to guard it.
"The second floor is an auction house, and almost all the treasures of some value appear there. ”
"Auction house, what is that for?" Shona's eyes lit up, this was the first time he had heard this new word.
"Huh?" Xia Xiaonan was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Yao'er, both of them seeing each other's surprised looks. Feeling the monster-like gaze of the two women, Natsu touched his nose embarrassedly.
"One soil bun, you want the soil to die. Yao'er scolded and then said, "The so-called auction house is to let everyone bid for a commodity, and whoever offers the highest price will belong to whoever else owns it." ”
"Oh, I see. Jiang Xia suddenly realized and spared his head.
"Forget it. ”
"Huh. Xia Xiaonan covered his mouth and chuckled, "Okay, there is almost a quarter of an hour left, today's auction is about to start, let's go and have a look!
Jiang Xia and Yao'er nodded in unison, and it seemed that both of them were quite interested. Just as the three of them turned around, the surrounding crowd suddenly became a little chaotic, accompanied by some exclamatory flattering voices.
Jiang Xia looked at the door suspiciously, and a young woman with a beautiful appearance and a dusty temperament walked in with a personable, handsome and elegant young man. The man's face was full of flattery, and the woman's beautiful eyes were full of faint contempt and disdain. As soon as the two appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of most people.
When Xia Xiaonan saw the woman, his face changed significantly. Jiang Xia also noticed this and asked with concern, "Xiaonan, who are the two of them?"
Yao'er glared at each other with beautiful eyes, and pouted dissatisfiedly, "Big pervert, when you see a beautiful woman, your eyes are straight again!"
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't think she's pretty. "When it comes to appearance, Yao'er and Xia Xiaonan are even stronger than that woman, and Xia is disgusted by the other party's arrogant appearance.
"Oh, is it?" Yao'er clearly said "don't believe" on her face, but she didn't say anything more.
"Those two people, the female is the eldest lady of the Beast Taming Sect, Bai Wufang, and the male is named Zuo Yao. Xia Xiaonan replied softly.
"Beast Taming Sect?" Jiang Xia and Yao'er were both surprised, they really didn't expect this.
"Hmm!"
Yao'er glanced at Jiang Xia first, and deliberately pretended to be very interested, "Who is that Zuo Yao?"
"Huh?" Xia Xiaonan didn't expect the other party to ask, so he still replied, "He is the eldest young master of the Zuo family, and the Zuo family is a family that has a good relationship with the Beast Taming Sect, and the current strength is not very strong." ”
"Oh, no wonder that Bai Wufang doesn't like him, it turns out that he is just a subsidiary force of the Beast Taming Sect?"
"It's not a subsidiary force, it's just a good relationship. Originally, the Zuo family also had emperor-level demon beasts, and their strength was not much different from my Xia family and the Beast Taming Sect. ”
As soon as Xia Xiaonan's words came out, Xia and Yao'er were stunned, if the Zuo family had emperor-level demon beasts, and the relationship with the Beast Taming Sect was so good, then the Xia family would be in danger. The curiosity of the two was aroused, and they became a little interested in the past of the Zuo family.
Looking at the puzzled eyes of the two, Xia Xiaonan smiled slightly, and wanted to say what he knew. At this moment, two figures were also coming towards this side. Lifting Xia's eyelids lightly, he raised his eyes and looked, who else would it be if it was Bai Wufang and Zuo Yao?
