Chapter 44: Ritual Artifact Exhibition

Li Bai looked at the back of the young man in brocade, and secretly guessed the identity of the other party in his heart, in Qingcheng, surnamed Ouyang, and so rich, there is only the Ouyang family who has an in-law relationship with the Shang Gang.

In Qingcheng City in Liangzhou of the Han Dynasty, in addition to the official power of the Han Dynasty, there are also a group of factions and three parties. This sect is naturally the Fengqing Gate that started with the Thirty-six Cave Tianjindan Avenue, and it is the most decent faction among the three forces that started with cultivation, and there are also the merchant gangs that started with commerce and trade, and the Mubei faction that mainly started with soldiers who retired from the army.

The predecessor of the merchant gang is a carriage and horse shop in Qingcheng, with the development of Qingcheng, the shop is getting bigger and bigger, thousands of years ago, there was a peerless genius in Qingcheng commercial bank, long-term vision, old and spicy, in a short period of time, all walks of life in Qingcheng were brought together, and a business alliance was established.

Since then, Shangmeng has developed rapidly, and has accumulated countless wealth in the past few decades. With more wealth, the more and more people are invited, and there are many people, it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be uneven. After encountering several blackmail and robberies with internal and external collusion, this peerless genius made major changes in his later years with monstrous courage, changed the business alliance into a business gang, and made every effort to cultivate the cultivation of his descendants. It's really rich and easy to do, less than a thousand years, the business alliance that has been changed to a business gang, not only is the business getting bigger and bigger, but also the strength is increasing day by day, and there are more scattered cultivators who have come to invest, and in the cultivation world of Qingcheng, they have steadily occupied one of the top three positions.

The current head of the Shang Gang is the descendant of that genius, surnamed Zhou, named Chongzhi, and his wife in the main house is the daughter of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Hong, that is, the aunt of this young man in brocade.

Of course, Li Bai couldn't know so many things, so when Zhuo Ling'er whispered these things in his ear, he could only nod his head and occasionally hum a few times in agreement.

"No wonder I don't care about 10,000 taels" Li Bai silently envied in his heart, who made him a layman who was short of money.

"One hundred thousand taels?!" Just as Li Bai was thinking in his heart, how to get the stump of this day in his hands, suddenly the brocade-clothed young man on the side of the counter exclaimed, and then lowered his voice again, saying something angrily.

Li Bai was surprised to hear it, and couldn't help but look over, Zhuo Ling'er also stopped talking, and it happened that the young man in brocade over there also looked over, and looked at Li Bai's lively appearance, as if he had been insulted, and finally made up his mind.

However, the young man in Tsing Yi standing at the counter rarely spoke, always shaking his head, obviously the transaction over there was not going very well.

After a while, I don't know what agreement they reached, they all looked at Li Bai and them, and the young man in Tsing Yi nodded frequently, signaling him to go over, and the young man in brocade looked at Li Bai with a little more anger in his eyes.

Li Bai walked over in confusion. Zhuo Ling'er also followed aside, and saw that the young man in brocade had a gloomy face.

"May I ask what this guest officer is called" The young man in Tsing Yi asked politely, completely without the casualness when he talked to Li Bai just now.

"My surname is Li, and my name is Li Bai," Li Bai replied briefly, and then his eyes rolled on the Tsing Yi boy and the young man in brocade, and he didn't know why they called him.

"Li Bai, Li Bai of Fengqingmen?" When the young man in brocade heard Li Bai's name, his face was stunned, and then he asked uncertainly, the anger in his eyes that was still fighting for the wind just now instantly faded, and his tone was rarely calm.

"Well, it's me, do you know me?" Li Bai saw that the other party was asking strangely, turned his head to look over, and asked with an inquiring gaze.

"Haha, Brother Li's name, it has been very loud recently, and the words on Luoxia Peak have stirred up the entire Liangzhou cultivation world, and the younger brother admires and admires" This Ouyang Gongzi immediately changed his tone, and his words were very respectful, and he could hear Li Baiyunshan's fog, but looking at the other party's smiling appearance, it is estimated that he did not have any good intentions.

Li Bai just smiled and didn't say anything to the other party.

The little guy in Tsing Yi behind the counter had a flash of light in his eyes, and then disappeared, still maintaining the same appearance just now, and continued.

"Li Gongzi, that's right, this Ouyang Gang Gongzi, is willing to pay ten times the price to buy this stump branch, according to the rules of our Quire Pavilion, all items placed in the "destined to get" area will be sold to those who are destined first, but if someone is willing to pay ten times the price, they can also be sold, but we have the obligation to notify the destined person first. “

"Are you talking about me?" Li Bai pointed to his nose, a little incredulous, he just asked, how did he become a destined person.

"Yes," the young man in Tsing Yi replied without hesitation.

"Then can I buy it in three days?" Li Bai thought for a while, touched his nose, and asked a little embarrassed.

"Of course you can, but if you don't come after three days, it will be regarded as giving up voluntarily, and the remnants will be automatically sold to Ouyang Gongzi on this day" Maybe it was related to the rules of the Wonder Pavilion, the little guy in Tsing Yi continued to say with a look of business.

"Ouyang Gongzi, do you have any other questions" The little girl in Tsing Yi turned to Ouyang Gang and asked politely.

"Naturally not" Ouyang Gang glanced at Li Bai, and said in a relaxed tone, if he was jealous of a man just now for Zhuo Ling'er, then 100,000 taels is really a lot, and his own money is not blown, but when he knew that the other party was Li Bai, his interest in Li Bai was immediately much greater than that of Zhuo Ling'er, and the 100,000 taels were naturally nothing.

The topic of the gambling contract related to the dignity of men and a strange reward is now spreading secretly and rapidly inside and outside Liangzhou, and Qingcheng is the birthplace of this topic, which has long been known all over the city, but everyone tacitly did not talk about it publicly.

"Interesting, interesting" Ouyang Gang secretly sighed in his heart, but his face was silent, which of these children of the family is a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Miss Ling'er, I've disappointed you, three days later, I will definitely personally send the Heavenly Remnant Branch to Miss Ling'er of Fengqing Peak" The expression on Ouyang Gang's face changed, he was still a shrewd son just now, and in the blink of an eye, he changed back to the appearance of the second lord who was a little squirming and chased after the girl and didn't care about his face.

But when he looked at Li Bai's eyes again, he didn't have the kind of ignorance just now.

Li Bai couldn't help but admire the chameleon-like skills of the other party.

"Miss Ling'er, I don't know if you can enjoy your face and participate in tonight's exhibition together?" Ouyang Gang took out a gold-inlaid invitation card from his arms, changed the topic, and invited Zhuo Ling'er directly. There was more seriousness in his tone, and his body was also standing upright, and the feeling immediately changed, and even Li Bai had a little more good feeling in his heart for no reason, which was the result of etiquette training that only those big families would notice.

"Thank you Ouyang Gongzi for the invitation" Zhuo Ling'er also bowed gently, but politely declined.

"I already have someone to accompany me tonight" Since the other party is so formal, Zhuo Ling'er can't lose her etiquette, otherwise it will be Fengqingmen who will be embarrassed.

Li Bai didn't know anything about these red tapes, this was not his father Li Feng's unintentional omission, the main reason was that Li Bai had been practicing alone behind closed doors for nearly ten years, and Li Feng occasionally remembered and was worried that he would disturb Li Bai's heart with these things.

Li Bai's cultivation progress was slow, and over time, Li Feng forgot about these things. Maybe in his heart, although he didn't admit it, he subconsciously felt that Li Bai would not use these things anymore, after all, cultivation strength is fundamental, and these etiquette training is just icing on the cake.

"Miss Ling'er, you didn't mean to perfunctory me," Ouyang Gang frowned imperceptibly.

"If it wasn't for the appointment, how could I bear to refuse" Zhuo Ling'er smiled, and took out two identical invitations from her sleeve robe as she spoke, not knowing where she had just put them.

"Haha, I don't know which son, with this blessing Miss Ling'er to accompany him" Ouyang Gang saw the invitation in Zhuo Ling's hand, and he also knew that there would be no drama tonight, and he didn't stalk anymore, but he didn't lose everyone's demeanor.

"It's my senior brother, Senior Brother Li Bai" Zhuo Ling'er brows bent into a crescent moon, and said in a small voice, just enough for Li Bai next to him to hear.

"Oh, it turns out that Brother Li Bai and Li are also going today" Ouyang Gang said in surprise, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, today's exhibition is a magic weapon exhibition, and the simplest magic weapon needs at least four layers of condensation to be used, but this Li Bai is only three layers of condensation, what is he going to do?

With the intensive preparations for the selection conference, Li Bai, who directly promoted this matter, has also spread all over Liangzhou, and with the fermentation of time, more news about Li Bai has also spread, so Ouyang Gang also knew about Li Bai's in-door test not long ago, and only condensed the third layer.

"Yes, yes. Li Bai was glared at by Zhuo Ling'er, and hurriedly echoed. I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this junior sister's gourd, and what exhibitions are not available, I don't know at all.

"Miss Ling'er, Brother Li, we'll see you at the exhibition in the evening" Ouyang Gang took the opportunity to say goodbye, today he was so disgraced here that he was in no mood to stay.

Looking at Ouyang Gang's figure walking away, Li Bai looked at Zhuo Ling'er, and there was inevitably a little dissatisfaction in his mouth, and he didn't know if it was jealousy.

"Senior Sister Zhuo, why did you get so close to such a person, a face is like a mask, and it changes too quickly."

"Oh, my good senior brother, you have Elder Li Feng and Elder Li to protect you, and you only cultivate in Luoxia Peak, where do you know our suffering" Without waiting for Li Bai to argue, he walked away by himself.

Li Bai, who was left aside, choked on a bunch of words in his throat and messed up alone.
