When Du Fan and his companions brought the spirit beast horses to the auction house, the middle-aged man who received them looked at the spirit beast horses with a cold sweat and swallowed his saliva.
"What? You don't want to accept it?" Du Fan looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"this… "
He looked at the spirit beasts and horses, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Please wait a moment, I will go and get our steward to come." After saying that, he quickly turned around and walked inside.
When they got inside, the middle-aged man found a man who was slightly older than him and said, "Manager, there are a few people outside. They brought some spirit beasts and a black carriage and said they want to sell them to us. Look at this..."
Hearing this, the chief steward who was talking to the two old men paused and asked, "Is it what is being spread outside?"
"It appears to be correct, so we dare not accept it." The manager said in a low voice.
Two old men who were drinking tea nearby looked at each other when they heard this. One of them smiled and said, "I'm curious, is there anything else that your auction house doesn't dare to accept?"
"Yes! Tell me about it?" another old man also said.
Hearing this, the chief steward said, "There are a few people outside who want to sell things. However, the things they are selling are a bit tricky, and can be said to be a hot potato."
"What kind of hot potato? Why does it sound so tricky when you talk about it? Are there any rumors?" the old man asked.
"You don't know?" This time it was the chief steward's turn to be surprised. He glanced at them and said, "It's been rumored in the Heavenly Dao that King Shura met some powerful people in a dilapidated temple. Not only was he injured, but he also fled in a panic, and he didn't even care about his mount. So when those people outside pulled the spirit beasts and horses into the city, the people in the city speculated that they were the people rumored in the Dao."
After hearing this, the two looked at each other in surprise, and one of them asked, "Who is so powerful? Are those people outside the same?"
“It sounds correct, but…” Before he could finish his words, the middle-aged man next to him pulled him, as if to remind him that the people outside were still waiting.
"I'll go take a look first and come back later." Just as he was about to leave, the two old men stood up and said with a smile, "Let's go out and take a look too." So, several people walked out together.
Du Fan and his companions were getting impatient when they saw a few people coming out. Seeing that they were staring at them, Gray Wolf stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Will you accept it? If not, we can find another one."
“Hehehe.”
The chief steward smiled and said, "Exalt, I guess no one else would dare to take these things except us."
He smiled and said to the steward beside him: "Have the people below take those spirit beasts down and have the items appraised. I will talk to these young masters and give them the money later."
"Yes." The manager responded, and then asked his men to take the spirit beast horse and carriage aside for inventory, inspection and appraisal.
"Everyone, please come in and have a cup of tea." The steward said, gesturing for invitation.
Seeing this, Du Fan nodded to Gray Wolf and the others, then stepped inside.
Not long after they sat down inside, Gray Wolf asked, "What did you mean by that? What do you mean no one else dares to take it? Do you know where our things come from?"
