Chapter 62: Something to do with my mother?
"As for the guidance, there is no need, I came out this time just for the sake of apprenticeship, and I don't dare to bother with my seniors."
"But since the old-timers helped me once, they are friends, I wonder why the seniors want to be beggars?"
The old beggar smiled, "The old man likes to be a beggar, and he has food without having to work, can you take care of it?" β
"That'...... Feel free to do so. Ling Ge was speechless.
But what he said is right, others like it and it is not illegal.
But the old beggar shook his head and said, "Now I don't want to be a beggar again." β
"Huh?!" Jin Ling and Xiaolan were dumbfounded when they heard this, and asked in unison, "Then what do you want to do now?" β
"Of course it's an uncle!" Saying that, the old beggar found a place to lie down and bask in the sun, "Someone is in a hurry to invite me in, why am I embarrassed to refuse?" β
The corners of Ling Ge's mouth twitched, knowing that the old beggar was not ready to leave.
It's really easy to please God, but it's hard to send God!
"Hey! Girl! Go and get me a room, and bring in all my things, and my straw mat, I'm used to sleeping. β
"Three meals a day are delivered with delicious food and drink, I will be polite to the old man, maybe the old man will be happy and can help you, do you hear?"
"Hey, what about your two contract beasts, it's okay to play with the old man......"
He was leaning against the wall and still gushing instructs, Ling Ge and Gong Shan and the two beasts had already tacitly walked away.
The old beggar was not annoyed, looked at their backs and smiled slightly, closed his eyes and rested.

A few days later, in that unique high-rise building, the auction of Gufang Pavilion was held as scheduled.
Officials and nobles from all walks of life came from all directions, crowding the already small Qutong City into a crowd, and the inn and other courtyards were overcrowded.
On the night of the official start, the traffic at the gate of Gufang Pavilion was even more non-stop, and Sun Hou led a group of stewards with a head and face to greet the distinguished guests, so busy that their feet did not touch the ground.
Ling Ge was dressed up today, although he only wore the high-quality blue hosta on his head, but the pretty red brocade skirt on his body was full of thought, and embroidered with various small gemstones into deep and light pink peach blossoms, luxurious and exquisite, especially dazzling in the light.
This was designed by Gong Zen himself, and it is said that it is the most suitable for an occasion like an auction.
But when they got out of the car, Ling Ge and Gong Shan both put on a wide and large black cloak and put on a mask. Historically, the most powerful people have done so for such occasions.
Under Sun Huai's guidance, Ling Ge and Gong Shan ascended to the second floor of the Gufang Pavilion, only to find that there was a hole in this building.
On the surface, it looks like an ordinary house, but the auction site is divided into two large platforms, and there is a whole circle of private rooms at the top.
Sun Huai took Ling Ge and the others to the private room, "Second Uncle said, please sit here, Miss Zhuo has the best view here." β
Ling Ge walked to the window and took a look, and the display table below was in full view, and it was really very clear.
"This should be a magic space, every branch of this Gufang Pavilion has such treasures, and it really can't be underestimated."
"Yes," Sun Huai said with a smile, "There are several countries around here, and there is also the Gufang Pavilion in Lindan Kingdom that can hold auctions with this magic weapon, so every time there is an auction, it is very lively." β
"By the way, the second uncle said that some good things were really transferred tonight, if Miss Zhuo has something to look at, say it in advance."
The guy who was making tea and pouring water next to him came over and lit up a spiritual mirror in front of the window, and many magic weapons showing treasures and rare items flashed on it.
Ling Ge glanced at it a few times, lacking interest, "No need, tonight's purpose is not here, if I want something later, just shoot according to the rules." β
"Alright, call me again if you need to."
Sun Huai withdrew to help Sun Hou, and Ling Ge released the two cats in the space.
Jin Ling turned into a human form to eat for a while, and then turned back into a kitten and jumped up and down, Ling Ge held the big orange and stroked it gently, while looking at the guests who arrived one after another.
The first to arrive were the guests on the two large platforms below, although they were all well-known figures from various countries, but on this occasion today, they could only sit on the big platform, greet each other, gossip, and wait for the auction to start.
The identity of the people in the private room is more noble, so naturally they came later, and there were six private rooms in this circle, four of which Ling Ge didn't know, but the last one, she could see it at a glance.
Lui Zhiang and Yu Hu, they were the last people to arrive.
As they took their seats, a group of dancers poured out on the stage below, singing and dancing softly, signaling the official start of the auction.
At the beginning, the auction items were a batch of commonplace small magic weapons as hors d'oeuvres, and the distinguished guests of the private room were generally not interested.
The same goes for Lu Zhiang and Yu Hu, all their energy is focused on the other five private rooms, and Sun Hou said that the girl they want to find is in one of them.
However, the natural suppression of probing spells in this magic weapon, no matter what spells they used, they didn't work, and they wanted to ask the attendants who served, but found that they couldn't speak at all.
In the end, the two of them could only sprinkle their anger on the cups of melons and fruits in an impetuous manner, and asked the attendants to call Sun Houlai.
Their ugly appearance happened to completely fall into Ling Ge's eyes and became a unique opening show.
Only then did Ling Ge realize that there must be something special about the window of the private room she was inβshe could see others, but others couldn't see her.
"Gong Shan, do you come to this kind of auction a lot?"
"I've been to other small auctions a few times, and this is the second time like this scale. Last time, I could only sit on the first floor platform as a spectator, but this time I was able to enter the private room, all thanks to Ling Ge's blessing......"
Gong Shan deliberately winked flatteringly, making Ling Ge laugh dumbly.
She asked again, "Do you know all these other people in the private room?" β
"Even if you don't know each other, you can guess the identity, they are all big families from other countries nearby......" Gong Shan told Ling Ge all the news he knew.
Ling Ge chatted absentmindedly while occasionally glancing at the auction below.
Because the auction has not been held for a long time, everyone's enthusiasm is extremely high this time, and almost every lot has been taken care of, and none of them have failed, and some prices have even doubled.
Ling Gezheng felt a little bored, and suddenly felt the big orange body in his arms tremble, and he meowed non-stop.
"Big orange, what's wrong?"
Jin Ling jumped over and said, "Sister, my mother said, buy this!" β
"What, which?"
As soon as Ling Ge lowered his head, he saw that the guy was putting a new row of lots on the stage.
Jin Ling pointed to a brocade box in the middle and said, "That's it!" My mother said she had to buy it! It's about the main grandmother! β
What, it has something to do with my mother?!
As soon as Ling Ge heard this, he sat up straight and carefully examined the contents of the brocade box.
It was a white T-shaped jade plaque, carved into the shape of a leaf, which looked very special among the other magic weapons, but it was not obvious how expensive it was.
"W-what is this?" Ling Ge looked at Gong Shan.
Gong Shan frowned slightly, looked at it for a long time and shook his head, "I don't understand." However, the lot presented at this time should not be very expensive. β
Ling Ge patted the big orange when he heard this, "Okay, don't worry, big orange, I will definitely buy it later." The attendant behind him was very eye-catching, and had already withdrawn to inform Sun Hou.
But Ling Ge inadvertently raised his head, and suddenly saw Yu Huzheng on the opposite side staring down in surprise, talking excitedly to Lu Zhiang.
Looking at the direction of his finger, it seems to be the jade branch.
No, that's a coincidence, right?
Before Ling Ge could change his mind, a new round of auctions began, and the first one to be sent to the booth was the jade branch!
"The next exhibit is a unique green and white jade magic weapon, which is carved into the branches and leaves of the healing god tree, and has the function of a talisman......"
In the flickering story of the beautiful host, the white jade slowly rises, and its image slowly rotates on the spirit mirror of the private room and the large flat floor at the same time, exposing all the advantages and disadvantages of the exhibit.
Ling Ge saw it more clearly this time, this piece of jade was really not in good condition, and the chic branch was not as powerful and domineering as the ordinary pattern or auspicious, it looked nondescript, and he really didn't understand.
But what she could see more clearly was the expression of Yu Hu who was also staring at the jade tree branch, his eyes were surprised with ecstasy, and even the dignity of the disciples of the Thousand Mountains Sect could not be maintained.
"Meow!" The big orange apparently noticed that something was wrong, and it became even more impatient.
Ling Ge hurriedly comforted, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll definitely be able to buy it." Gong Shan, what do you estimate to be the price? β
Gong Shan glanced at the jade branch, and then at Yu Hu opposite, "The host didn't say anything for a long time, such a gadget is 100,000 taels of silver if it reaches the sky." But well......"
He pointed to the other side again, "If he really wants it, it won't be easy to say if you two compare the price." β
Ling Ge grinned, "So, the third young master of the palace, how much can you subsidize me?" β
Gong Shan chuckled and glanced at her, the pampering in those clean eyes was already overflowing.
"I can afford whatever you ask."
"Good! Don't worry, with your money, I will definitely ask you to earn it back! β
Ling Ge geared up and was ready to do a big job!
The beautiful host downstairs finally stopped chattering and said the auction reserve price, "Fifty thousand taels!" β
Gong Shan nodded, "This price is normal, generally there are more people who see this kind of thing, and few people want it......"
"Sixty thousand taels!" The host exclaimed in surprise.
It turned out that Ling Ge had already been the first to bid.
At this time, most of the guests are still weighing whether to participate or not, who knew that someone would ask for the price so soon?
The host is also secretly happy, this kind of thing used to often fail, but today it is really lucky, and even someone has robbed it?
Yu Hu on the other side was taken aback, he knew the market of this magic weapon, just now he was still ecstatic about his unexpected good luck, and now he is out of the journey to bite the gold?
"Seventy thousand taels!"
"Eighty thousand taels!"
"Ninety thousand taels!"
β¦β¦
Under the competition between Ling Ge and Yu Hu, within a few rounds, the price of Yushuzhi rose to more than 100,000 taels, and it has not stopped the momentum.
At this time, the guests on the two floors below came back to their senses and scrambled to raise the bidding signs.
