"Li Mo, wait for me!"
Lu Xinyue urged her horse to catch up.
"I said, why are you still following me? I have something to do, and it's very inconvenient to take you with me."
"I know you're going to the auction, and I'm going the same way!"
They were also going to the auction, and they didn't mean to follow me. Li Mo was speechless and could only let her follow him.
The two of them were speechless all the way, and finally arrived at Tiandu City on the first day of the auction.
After entering the city gate, Lu Xinyue still followed Li Mo.
"I said, Lu Xinyue has arrived in Tiandu City, let's separate now!"
"Why, am I so annoying? I am a girl and there is no one around me to protect me. Aren't you afraid that I will be in any danger?"
As she spoke, her eyes began to turn red.
"Stop! I hate seeing women cry the most. If you want to follow, just follow! Anyway, it's nice to have a beautiful woman by your side!"
Li Mo was helpless and could only comfort himself in this way.
"Don't worry, I will leave after the auction is over, and I will never bother you again."
Lu Xinyue seemed to see through his thoughts, leaving Li Mo speechless.
What made Li Mo even more depressed was that the entire Tiandu City inn was already overcrowded due to the auction. He finally found an inn that was not full, but was told that there was only one room left. And if Li Mo and the other two don't want it, there will be many people waiting in line behind them.
"Boss, we want this room."
While Li Mo was hesitating, Lu Xinyue took out a banknote and handed it directly to the innkeeper. Then he turned and walked towards the guest room.
"Holy crap! Are all women so open nowadays? You dare to book a room after just two days of knowing each other?"
Li Mo whispered to himself.
"Li Mo, if you don't come over, you will have no choice but to sleep on the street!"
Lu Xinyue stood at the door of the room, shouted to Li Mo, opened the door and entered the room.
"Really, he's not afraid of any girl. What's so scary about a man like me? Just one girl!"
Li Mo was worried and walked towards the room.
"I didn't expect that Li Mo, the first place winner in the martial arts competition, would be afraid of a weak woman like me."
Lu Xinyue spread the quilt on the bed and said to Li Mo behind her.
"I'm afraid of you? Are you kidding me?"
"If you're not afraid of me, why wouldn't you want to share a room with me?"
Li Mo clearly sensed the intention to tease him in Lu Xinyue's words. How could he show weakness!
"Who said I didn't dare? Didn't I just come in? I was afraid that if we were alone in the same room, it would be bad for your reputation!"
Although Li Mo said this, his unsteady look betrayed him.
"Haha, I won't tease you anymore. The bed has been made for you. I would like to thank you for your help. You should go to bed early!"
After hearing Lu Xinyue's words, Li Mo felt relieved.
"how about you?"
"I can just sit on the chair."
"How can that be okay? I'm a grown man sleeping on the bed, but you sleep on the chair. I, Li Mo, can't do such a thing. You'd better take the bed and rest."
"I can't tell, do you still know how to cherish the fragrance and cherish the jade, but you should just sleep."
The two argued for a long time, and Li Mo was completely convinced by Lu Xinyue's character. As long as it was something she was serious about, there was no room for negotiation.
Li Mo could only wait until she fell asleep, then used his internal strength to lift her up and move her to the bed. The figure disappeared into the room in a flash.
…
"Wow! So comfortable!"
Lu Xinyue opened her eyes and found that she had actually slept on the bed, but Li Mo was no longer in the room.
I couldn't help but blush.
"Is this Li Mo still very caring about people?"
At this time, Li Mo had arrived at the auction house after being informed by the innkeeper.
This is a huge building, not inferior to the martial arts gym. Someone had already come here to wait before Li Mo.
"Brother Wang! You are from Tiandu City, do you know what rare treasures there are today?"
"Haha, Brother Zhang! You are asking the right person. My cousin happens to work in the auction house. According to him, the items auctioned this time are all rare treasures, whether they are magic weapons or elixirs. , talismans, everything, and today’s finale is a spiritual treasure!”
"What? Lingbao! Oh my God, there will be something good to watch today."
"Isn't that right? Lingbao! There are a few of them in our Xuangu Continent. It seems that the auction house will make a fortune again today!"
…
Listening to the discussion of the people in front, Li Mo was looking forward to this auction even more.
"Li Mo, why didn't you wake me up? Someone came here first!"
No matter what he was afraid of, Lu Xinyue's voice sounded behind Li Mo!
"Oh! I saw you were sleeping soundly so I didn't wake you up."
Li Mo had no intention of coming to the auction with her, so he could only deal with it.
"Hmph! That's pretty much it."
More and more people are participating in the auction. The door to the auction house has been opened. Some noble or powerful people have entered the auction house first under the arrangement of the organizers.
Among those who entered first, Li Mo saw a familiar figure, it was Prince Contribution.
This time, the prince seemed very low-key and did not bring too many guards. There were only two people around to protect his safety. Of course, with King Gongxian's strength, there would be no one in this auction who could pose a threat to him.
It was finally Li Mo's turn to enter. The requirements were very simple. Anyone who was a martial artist was eligible to participate in this conference.
Li Mo had no choice but to suppress his strength to the level of a junior martial artist. He did not want to expose his true strength to everyone.
The venue is also very large and divided into three floors. There are some scattered seats on the first floor, and there are small single rooms separated by wooden boards on the second floor. You only need to spend some silver to enter. It is the first choice for monks who do not want to reveal their identity. Although there are private rooms on the third floor, the decoration and area are hundreds of times better than those on the second floor.
This is not a place for ordinary people to stay. Anyone who can enter the third floor is either rich or noble, or a powerful person! King Gongxian was in one of the boxes.
For the sake of safety, Li Mo chose a single room on the second floor for one hundred taels.
With the sound of an old man coughing, the originally noisy scene immediately became quiet.
"Today is the first time that our Tianducheng Auction House holds such a large-scale auction. I am the owner of the auction house. People outside have nicknamed me Iron Abacus!"
As soon as this statement came out, the heated discussion in the venue was recalled.
"It turns out that he is an iron abacus!"
"I didn't expect that he runs this auction house. No wonder he dares to hold such a large auction!"
"Brother, who is this old man? What kind of iron abacus?"
"Hey! I said, little brother, please keep your voice down. This iron abacus is one of the few high-ranking generals in Yuqingzhou! If he hears that you dare to be so disrespectful to him, I guarantee that you will not be able to leave Tiandu City. go!"
…
"Haha... Everyone, be quiet. Since everyone knows me, I hope nothing unpleasant will happen in this auction. Okay, without further ado, let's start today's bidding!"
