The auction was held in a temporary place in the largest square in Yanwu City. Although it was a temporary building, the materials used were all transported from the Huowu Empire by Wanbao Building, and the specifications were much stricter than regular buildings. .
Construction started before Wanbao Chamber of Commerce started, and a magnificent auction house was erected in just seven days, with a fan-shaped structure inside, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. On the second floor, VIP rooms are directly isolated one by one for those with status.
On the eve of the auction, all the noble families within the Huowu Empire will receive a detailed auction list, and they will more or less send housekeepers and the like to bid for what they want. Therefore, although the venue is large, it is still very crowded after everyone is seated.
At the fan-shaped fan handle of the auction venue is the place where the auctions of Wanbao Building are placed, as well as various backstage offices. There is also a separate small room inside, where a heated argument is taking place.
"Yin Chaoyang, I don't care what your reasons are, I will never agree to such a thing!" Gan Deming, another guardian elder of Wanbaolou, said coldly, "The rules of Wanbaolou are iron, and no one can break them! "
Yin Zhaoyang snorted coldly with disdain, folded his hands on his chest and said, "Could it be that as the elder of the Huowu Empire branch, I am not even qualified to auction things?"
Gan Deming said coldly: "Of course there are qualifications, but they must be added before the auction information comes out. Now that all the auction information has been sent to the major families, and now temporarily adding things, how do you let others see us?"
Not to be outdone, Yin Chaoyang sneered, "Isn't it the first time to increase the lot? I remember that once Elder Gan's back-up brought a fifth-level skill refining item, and inserted it directly."
Gan Deming's complexion changed, and he said angrily, "Fifth-level objects are naturally eligible to participate in the auction!"
"That's right!" Xu Zizhuo, the building owner of the Huowu Empire branch of Wanbao Building who had been silent all this time, said, "If the item inserted by Elder Yin can reach the fifth level, I will never stop it. But the ridiculous thing is, Elder Yin, you don’t even know what it is, so you just inserted it in so rashly, if it’s just a first- and second-tier thing, wouldn’t it be ridiculous, where will the reputation of my Wanbao Building be placed?”
A trace of doubt also flashed in Yin Chaoyang's eyes, and he said decisively: "I believe that things will not be bad. If there is any difference, I will bear the consequences alone!"
Xu Zizhuo froze for a moment, seeing Yin Chaoyang's resolute look, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to be silent in thought.
"Haha, you bear it alone? Can you afford it?!" Gan Deming sneered and said, "If you insist on going your own way again, I will report this matter and the death incident that happened in the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce the day before yesterday to Xie Yuhang. My lord, it will be up to you how you will bear it when the time comes!"
Yin Zhaoyang's expression changed, and his heart sank slightly. Although he and Gan Deming don't like each other, they have been fighting for so many years, but they are only fighting each other in ordinary things, and they will never make things up. Because both of them know that there is a leeway in everything, and neither of them can bear the anger from above. But this time Gan Deming openly threatened.
"Hmph, whatever you want!" Yin Zhaoyang said coldly, "If Mr. Xie Yuhang asks, I will naturally give an explanation. As for you, you are not qualified to know!" After he finished speaking, he walked away, originally a little nervous When I think of Yu Wenbo's phrase "treat this person as you treat me", my heart settles down.
Gan Deming's face changed drastically, and he roared angrily, "Yin Chaoyang, you said that!"
Yin Chaoyang ignored him at all, but walked out of the auction house. Gan Deming, who was left with a furious face, said angrily with a livid face: "Lord, you have seen it too! This Yin Chaoyang is too much, and he ignores the rules of Wanbao Building one after another. I can't bear it anymore this time. I must report to Xie Yuhang. grown ups!"
Xu Zizhuo's face was full of suspicion. Seeing Yin Chaoyang's disappearing figure, his eyes became uncertain. He suddenly asked, "Elder Gan, what do you think of Yin Chaoyang's behavior?"
Gan Deming was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said: "Hmph, narrow-minded and selfish, apart from fair cultivation, character is useless!"
There was a wry smile on Xu Zizhuo's face. The two were fighting all day long, and he, the landlord, also suffered from a great headache. Although what Gan Deming said was a bit biased, it was not too different. He was full of doubts and said: "This is exactly what I am Where you are confused, you said that such a person would rather risk being punished by Lord Xie Yuhang than insist on doing this, why do you say this is?"
"This, yes, why?" Gan Deming was also taken aback, and he also felt a little strange.
Xu Zizhuo rubbed his temples, and whispered with his lips: "And the death incident the day before yesterday, do you know who died? Xingyang Jie, the sole heir of the Xingyang family, Cheng Feizhu, the direct descendant of the Cheng family! There are also two strong martial kings , five Martial Lords, and more than thirty people under the Martial Lords."
"ah?!"
Gan Deming jumped up suddenly, with a look of astonishment in his eyes, he cried out: "How could this happen? Who did it? That old man Yin Chaoyang didn't keep his expression on his face, and dealt with it in a low-key manner. I thought it was some kind of cat or dog. Wouldn't this create a big enemy for our Wanbao Tower?!"
Xu Zizhuo's eyes were full of confusion, he shook his head slightly and said: "Let's not mention the establishment of a big enemy, after all, they are not the ones killed by our Wanbaolou, at most, let them blame a poor management, just pay some primordial stones. What I am most puzzled about is, How could Yin Chaoyang, who is so useless and can't afford it early, be willing to take such a big risk for the sake of the Yanwu City lords?"
"The Lord of Yanwu City?" Gan Deming frowned and said, "You mean, those people were killed by the Lord of Yanwu City? Why did he kill Xingyang Jie and Cheng Feizhu? Isn't this clearly courting death? Old man Yin Chaoyang is out of his mind What the hell was he thinking?"
Xu Zizhuo's face gradually darkened, and he said in a concentrated voice: "So there must be information that we don't know, and this information must have been grasped by Yin Chaoyang! This information made him dare to risk offending the Xingyang family and the Cheng family. He also wanted to protect the Lord of Yanwu City. This information made him dare to take the risk of being condemned by Mr. Xie Yuhang, and he also wanted to insert an unknown object at will to participate in the auction. With Yin Chaoyang's character, if he was not very sure , definitely won't do that!"
"This, what the host means is that the one who forced his way in to participate in the auction is also the city lord of Yanwu City?" Gan Deming said in disbelief, "How can a city lord of a small country be so capable, even if it is their king? Let Yin Chaoyang maintain it like this. What kind of information does he have, but we don't?"
Xu Zizhuo said softly: "I have already had someone investigate. Yin Chaoyang has been in contact with this mysterious city lord for the past few days, so this forced insertion into the auction must be done by this city lord. I don't know what information it is, but It must also be related to this city lord."
He stood up, paced back and forth in the room, and finally said: "Originally, he had someone send back the corpses of Xingyang Jie and Cheng Feichu so hastily, I was furious, and I was already detained. Now it seems that he should have nothing to worry about. If so, then I don't have to worry about it. This will send people back to the Huowu Empire. This auction will be up to him. I also want to see this Yan Wu What exactly is the City Lord going to auction off?"
Gan Deming frowned, but still said unwillingly: "But if it's just some simple things, how about making people laugh?"
Xu Zizhuo smiled lightly, and said, "Didn't Yin Chaoyang say that he was responsible for everything? If he is sure, he will be fine. Besides..." His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was looking through the walls, looking at the distant The mansion of the city lord said coldly: "I can't wait for something to happen, let's see if he dares to be so arrogant, what kind of information makes him so confident!"
Soon, after a few days of holding the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, it was all over, and the last process left, which was the auction that all forces were most concerned about, was also held as scheduled.
The real big families all have a very deep background, and they don't even bother to participate in some ordinary trade fairs. But for the Wanbaolou auction, which is full of high-quality goods, people flock to it. Not only can you compete for some rare treasures, but being able to participate is a status symbol in itself, and even the emperor's relatives of the Huowu Empire will send people to come.
Xu Zizhuo looked slightly at a VIP room on the second floor next to the Huowu royal family, his heart was full of shock. He had just seen Yin Chaoyang leading a group of people in, and the leader was a fifteen-year-old boy who was the Lord of Yanwu City who he had investigated for many days. What shocked him was that in Yin Chaoyang's heart, the status of this city lord was comparable to that of the Huowu royal family!
This discovery further affirmed the speculation in his heart. Yin Chaoyang must have grasped information that they did not know, and the key to this information lay in the new city lord Li Yunxiao!
Xu Zizhuo glanced at the crowded venue and saw that there were already no empty seats, and then smiled lightly and said, "We have met you again at the annual Wanbaolou Auction Conference. Xu Zizhuo thanked you for taking care of Wanbaolou over the past year and making our business a reality." It's booming. I'm going to invite Mr. Mei, the chief auctioneer of Wanbaolou."
Although his voice was not loud, it rang softly in everyone's ears, as if he was talking softly to you. In addition to the strength of Xu Zizhuo's own great martial artist, it is also related to the architectural structure of the entire auction house.
Although Xu Zizhuo is only a great martial artist, he is a fifth-tier alchemist and enjoys a very high reputation in the Huowu Empire. As soon as his words fell, the audience suddenly burst into applause. A hunchbacked old man with white hair walked to the auction stand amidst applause, and the audience immediately fell silent.
