Miao Niang shook her head lightly, with doubts in her eyes, she said softly: "No, although I seldom come to the auction house, but because I am in charge of the Taotie Building, almost every auction will receive invitations. Occasionally I've been here a few times, but like this... it's the first time!"
As she said that, Miao Niang looked at Chu Mo in surprise: "How can you tell that those people are from the sect?"
Chu Mo smiled, and said softly: "People who come out of the sect, even if they cover their entire body, they will still have a sense of arrogance."
Miao Niang rolled her eyes at Chu Mo: "Are you overturning a boat with one pole?"
Chu Mo chuckled.
Miao Niang sighed lightly: "But what you said is indeed reasonable."
Chu Yan looked at these people around with some curiosity, silently observed their every move, and at the same time observed the various exits of the auction house, keeping all these in mind. These are already her instincts.
Except for the failure of Chu Mo's assassination that day, Chu Yan has a very strong talent in intelligence. She is very observant and insightful.
This is also the main reason why her assassination failed that day.
Because she could tell at a glance that Chu Mo was not someone she could assassinate at all, and if she continued, she would only lose her life in vain. As it turns out, she was right.
After a while, the door of the auction house was finally closed. At this time, the entire auction house, the hall on the first floor, was already filled with nearly 70% of people.
Almost half of them have covered up their true colors. The remaining ones who show their true colors are either confident and not afraid of anyone; or they don’t want to shoot anything at all, just to watch the excitement.
At this time, a fat middle-aged man came up on the bottom stage. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a meat ball rolling up.
But anyone who knows something about Fengyun Auction House dare not underestimate this middle-aged fat man. Because he is the chief auctioneer of Fengyun Auction House. Few people know his name, but almost everyone calls him Fat Brother.
"Strange, why did Brother Fat come up in person today? Could it be that something big is about to appear?"
"Yeah, this is indeed a bit strange. It is said that there is no big thing, and Brother Fat never shows his face."
"Brother Fei is also the second treasurer of Fengyun Auction House..."
Some acquaintances got together and whispered together.
And those who didn't cover up their faces were a little surprised to see Brother Fei coming up, and some of them showed regret on their faces. Because the appearance of Brother Fei means that there may be unexpected treasures in this auction.
"Haha, new friends and old friends, Happy New Year everyone, long time no see, Brother Fei misses you very much." Brother Fei had a loud voice, standing there smiling, his voice spread throughout the auction hall.
"Brother Fat saw some frustrated faces on the faces of some friends who didn't hide their faces. It's probably because of my presence. You think there must be something good in this auction, right?"
"Isn't it?" someone said loudly in the hall.
Brother Fei chuckled, nodded and said: "This time, there are indeed good things, and there are quite a few! However, friends who have not concealed their identities, don't worry about anything, because although the items in this auction are very good, but It’s not enough to make people kill people and get rich.”
As he said that, Brother Fei smiled: "Okay, let's get down to business and start today's auction!"
As he said that, this middle-aged man who was as fat as a ball changed his aura, and his whole person suddenly changed from an amiable local rich man to a majestic superior.
Chu Mo was a little surprised, but also felt that it was quite fresh, and watched without blinking. But at this time, Chu Mo felt that there seemed to be a gaze looking at him. There was clearly a trace of murderous intent in this gaze!
"Huh?" Chu Mo was taken aback, thinking that I had covered it up! Didn't Master say that no one in the entire Sixiang Continent can see through this disguise technique
However, Chu Mo later discovered that the other party's killing intent was not aimed at him, but at Miao Niang beside him!
Because Chu Mo could clearly feel that Miao Niang's body was tense, as if she was very nervous.
Chu Mo patted Miao Niang's hand calmly.
Then, Chu Mo felt that Miao Niang seemed to be relieved, but she was still a little nervous.
At this time, Brother Fei on the stage had already brought out the first lot, which was a bronze tripod more than a thousand years ago. The tripod is three feet high, with three legs and two ears. It is rusty and mottled, and it seems to be carved with some birds and animals.
When Miao Niang saw the tripod, her breathing suddenly became a little short, and then she suddenly grabbed Chu Mo's hand with her backhand.
Her hands... were slightly cold and trembling.
Chu Mo's eyes narrowed, and there was no expression on his face. At the same time, Yu, who hadn't moved for a long time, suddenly scalded him.
"Everyone can see clearly? This tripod has a very long history. It is not a product of our Azure Dragon Continent, but from the distant Suzaku Continent! It is said that it came from a once brilliant sect." described above.
Chu Mo understood something from Miao Niang's trembling cold hands. He held Miao Niang's hand backhand, and then looked at Brother Fei on the stage.
"According to my experience, this tripod should be a sacrificial tripod. Of course, it may also be a tripod for refining medicine. The methods in the sect are beyond the imagination of ordinary people in the world." Brother Fei said , smiled slightly: "No matter how glorious it has experienced, but now... it is just an antique. It should be good to put at home as a town house. Its starting price is two hundred taels... gold!"
When Brother Fei said the three words two hundred taels, Chu Mo saw many people ready to move, and seemed to want to raise a sign. As a result, the word "gold" appeared behind it. Those people suddenly looked annoyed, and put down their hands that wanted to raise their cards.
One tael of gold and ten taels of silver, even if this bronze tripod is really from the Suzaku mainland sect, it is not worth two thousand taels of silver. This starting price is a bit outrageous.
Chu Mo didn't act immediately, because there seemed to be a connection between that gaze just now and this bronze tripod that was most likely from the Piaomiao Palace.
Chu Mo is not a person who is good at conspiracy theories, but this incident seems to be very strange.
Brother Fei glanced at the crowd below, and he was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "The price is a bit expensive, but after all, it is something from the sect. Who knows if there is any other magical effect? Maybe, The water it contains can cure diseases, haha, just kidding, don’t take this seriously, if you drink it again and get poisoned, don’t rely on me.”
Brother Fat spoke wittily, enlivening the atmosphere on stage, and said, "Actually, even if it's just an antique, I think it's worth the price. Of course, the premise is that you like it. If you like it, it's worth it!"
At this time, a voice came from the hall, and finally someone raised a sign.
"Two hundred and ten taels of gold. I'll take it. Brother Fat is right. If you like it, it's worth it. I like this thing. Take it home and put it at the door to catch the rainwater."
