CHAPTER XXXIII
CHAPTER XXXIII
At seven o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, a towering building nearly 1,400 meters high and with 300 floors was lit up brilliantly.
The poor and the rich living in the imperial capital live two extreme lives.
The old towns and urban villages, where the poor gather, are filthy and messy, like hell on earth.
The downtown area, where the rich gather, is prosperous, like heaven and earth.
Even in the most prosperous area of the center of the imperial capital, this towering building is still so eye-catching and stands out from the crowd.
And this building also has its own name - Waten Tower.
Today's auction will be held on the 63rd floor of the Tower.
The endless flow of luxurious flying swords, bejeweled women, and well-dressed men, these things that only the so-called upper class can have, set off Zhang Chongli and Li Yu, who were standing at the door of the Dutian Mansion at the moment.
The master and apprentice were dressed in cheap stall shirts, with loose sweatpants that had no bright spots, and there was no decoration on the two of them except for a mediocre-looking ring on Zhang Chongli's hand.
At first glance, the two of them look like primitive people returning from another world, and they are very conspicuous.
In just the five or six minutes that the two of them stood in line at the gate and waited to enter the building, the two of them had already cast strange glances at them no less than a hundred times.
But the two didn't seem to care about the stares of the people around them.
Li Yu's heart is already tenacious, after all, he was also the young master of the Li family back then, and this kind of occasion has long been commonplace for him, and he has no stage fright at all.
As for Zhang Chongli, it is a monster that Hongmeng has lived from the beginning to the present, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen, for this kind of small scene in front of him, his heart can only be described as calm and calm.
Zhang Chongli said with a depressed face: "Niang Xipi, why do you have to queue for so long to go to an auction?" β
With a cigarette in his mouth, he ignored the no-smoking sign posted at the gate and the group of young ladies and ladies behind him who were lining up with their noses covered and frowning.
Li Yu explained with a wry smile: "It is said that the prices of the collections in this auction are very high, so the security is also extremely strict, as if everyone needs to be inspected before entering. β
"Garbage has to be carried like a treasure, and who rarely steals that garbage." Zhang Chongli looked disdainful.
After all, for the person who can cause a shock up and down in China by taking out a treasure from the ring casually, it is naturally impossible for these things to be auctioned at the auction now.
If it weren't for the dantian that urgently needed Ning Ling Grass to treat Li Yu, this kind of garbage auction, even if it was a reverse payment without queuing, Zhang Chongli wouldn't have bothered to participate.
Although Zhang Chongli himself has arrogant capital, this kind of presumptuous words still attracted a burst of contempt from the people around him, and he couldn't help but regard Zhang Chongli as a madman who pretended to be a madman who said big things.
"By the way, when will this girl Wang Xue come over?" Zhang Chongli glanced down the street.
Last night, Wang Xue and Li Yu borrowed the sofa in Zhang Chongli's rental room, and the girl left the rental room in a hurry the next morning, saying that she was going to do something important and would meet the two at the auction in the evening.
As a result, Zhang Chongli and the two queued for more than half an hour, but Wang Xue was still nowhere to be seen.
Li Yu took out his mobile phone and glanced at it and said, "Xue'er said that she is still a little blocked there, and it is estimated that she will arrive within ten minutes." β
"Isn't this girl going to come then?" Zhang Chongli said worriedly: "Our master and apprentice have lost a penny, and 30 million can only rely on your little rich woman." β
"If she doesn't come, we'll just have to stare at the auction site."
Li Yu said with great confidence: "Master, don't worry, I believe in Xue'er, whatever she promises, she will definitely do it." β
However, sometimes the reality is often more depressing than imagined, Zhang Chongli was still worried about Wang Xue running away a moment ago, causing the two of them to stare dryly at the auction site.
As a result, the next moment, they were blocked by the security guard at the door.
Well, now you don't have to stare dryly, you can't even enter the auction site.
"No, buddy, what do you mean, we can't go in what we fight." Zhang Chongli threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, glared at the security guard with an angry face, and said, "Do you look down on us?" β
The security guard wordlessly pointed to the invitation on the table and said, "I don't mean to look down on the two, but this auction is private in nature, and you must have an invitation to enter." β
"Do you have any invitations?"
Zhang Chongli's momentum vanished, and he quickly hooked Li Yu's shoulder and whispered: ", you still need an invitation, are you prepared?" β
Li Yu spread his hands, it was obvious that his current situation was estimated to be worse than Zhang Chongli's, so there might be an invitation.
"Niang Xipi, I queued for more than an hour, but I didn't even have an invitation." Zhang Chongli was about to collapse.
Then he had an idea, quietly came to the security guard, changed his previous arrogant appearance, and said with a smile: "Dude, don't embarrass anyone, we just forgot to bring the invitation, do you want to give us accommodation?" β
Zhang Chongli smiled, and didn't forget to smoke a cigarette for the security guard and handed it over.
The security guard first looked at the group of magnates queuing up with Zhang Chongli, and then looked at the cigarettes that Zhang Chongli handed him.
then gave Zhang Chongli a look like a fool, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Get out!" β
"It's not...... If you can't do it, buddy, you can't do it, so you can scold someone. "Zhang Chongli has a violent temper.
Just as Zhang Chongli was about to have a good reason with the security guard, there was a familiar and piercing ridicule behind him.
"Which hillbilly I thought was stopped by the security guard, it turned out to be Brother Yu." In the crowd, I saw a young man in a suit and leather shoes walking to the door of the building surrounded by a group of subordinates.
And this young man is the eldest son of the Liu family, Liu Jin, who crushed Li Yu's dantian in the previous competition.
Liu Jin directly ignored the people who were still queuing behind him, directly threw down an invitation, and strode into the main entrance of the Dutian Building.
Although according to the rules, everyone has to go through a security check and queue up to enter the building.
But for Liu Jinmao's practice of cutting into the queue and coming directly to the door, not only did no one present open his mouth to denounce, but he didn't even dare to show a trace of displeasure on his face.
After all, the so-called upper-class people also score three, six, nine and so on.
As one of the top ten families, the eldest son of the Liu family, Liu Jin was naturally classified into a third-rate position, and naturally he could enjoy some privileges that others could not enjoy.
Now that Liu Jin saw Li Yu and Zhang Chongli being stopped by the security guards, how happy he was in his heart.
He turned to Li Yu and taunted again: "Brother Yu, looking at your dejected appearance now, there shouldn't be any need to participate in such a high-level event as the auction, right?" β
"Of course, if you really want to come in, let's have a brother, and I can help you if you ask me."
has been crushed by Li Yuquan since he was a child, and now Liu Jin has consciously turned over and become the master, and he can't wait to ridicule Li Yu whenever he has the opportunity.
It's just that Li Yu doesn't seem to take Liu Jin's sarcasm seriously, but focuses on his mobile phone.
After reading the message sent on his mobile phone, Li Yu took a long breath and said happily to Zhang Chongli: "Master, Xue'er has arrived." β
As soon as these words came out, there was already an exclamation at the end of the team.
Under the gathering of everyone's eyes, I saw Wang Xue wearing a plain white dress, trotting towards the gate with brisk and rapid steps.
Due to the need to attend a grand occasion to show up, Wang Xue, who never wore makeup, specially put on a light makeup today.
The original pure and lovely appearance, with light makeup, is like a touch of pink in the lotus petals, plain and charming.
There are not many deliberate decorations, there are not many gorgeous clothes, but as soon as this girl appears, the dazzling temperament on her body instantly overwhelms the ladies and girls who have spent hours dressing up.
At that moment, the eyes of both the master and apprentice were straight.
Li Yu stared at Wang Xue's face, he really didn't expect that his fiancΓ©e could be so beautiful.
After all, the two have played since they were children, and they even wore open crotch pants to each other, and they have looked at each other for more than ten years, no matter how beautiful they are, they have to vomit.
Now Wang Xue has put on light makeup as usual, which makes Li Yu feel like a sudden change of person, which is even more exciting and shocking than the first time he wore 3D glasses to watch a film.
As for Zhang Chongli, it was even more pure, what shocked him was that this girl trotted all the way, the choppy waves.
"Sorry, it's a bit congested on the road, so I'm late." Wang Xue came to the two of them and saw Li Yu staring straight at him, and his fair little face instantly flushed.
"Brother Yu, there are so many people, don't look at me like this."
Li Yu also woke up like a dream, blushing for a moment, and turned his gaze to the side in a panic.
The appearance of the interaction between this little couple made Zhang Chongli bite his silver teeth, Zhang Chongli smacked Li Yu with his arm, and said with a sour face: "Dead boy!" Cheap for you! β
"Cher! What are you doing here!? Liu Jin shouted at Wang Xue in a stern and domineering tone.
I saw him staring at Wang Xue fiercely, and he couldn't hide the jealousy and anger in his eyes.
Although it is right at this moment, Li Yu and Liu Jin have long been very different in terms of strength and identity.
However, Li Yu still did not hesitate to protect Wang Xue behind him, and greeted Liu Yu with a torch in his eyes and said, "Xue'er still needs your consent to come here?" β
Hearing this, the corners of Liu Jin's mouth raised a smug smile, and he glanced at Li Yu coldly and said, "With the way you look now, are you still qualified to protect Xue'er?" β
"I'll tell you the truth, Cher is already my fiancΓ©e!"
"So, please stay away from her in the future! Otherwise, I'm welcome. β
