Chapter 43 The auction begins
From the day Scarlett started martial arts, countless people told her that she was a genius and that she could easily achieve achievements that others could not achieve.
And just as those people said, she was always one step ahead of others from the moment she introduced Qi into her body. Even Janet, who was also praised by others, always looked down upon her in front of her.
At that time, she was proud and confident, and she practiced as she pleased. Anyway, she could achieve success easily, so why did she have to work so hard?
This is what she told herself. It wasn't until she entered Winchester that she discovered that there was a big difference between genius and genius.
In the crowd, she was no longer the one who made the fastest progress, nor was she the most conspicuous one. She began to disappear from everyone.
Scarlett panicked, so she started practicing all night.
But I don’t know if she has been free for too long and cannot adapt to high-intensity training, or her mentality has changed. The harder she works, the less satisfactory her results become.
Her ranking is always at the bottom of her grade. Although she has not fallen out of the passing line, she is always hovering on the passing line.
Some people even made fun of her, saying that as long as they saw that their ranking was ahead of Scarlett's, they would know that there would be no problem in this assessment.
Scarlett has suffered, struggled, and hesitated.
Now she can ignore the rumors in the outside world, but she still envies a genius like Ye Xian who is hardworking and self-disciplined.
It's not like her, who has the reputation of being a genius but doesn't live up to her name.
Ye Xian listened to Scarlett's inner thoughts and touched his chin, "So your biggest problem is actually that you can't calm down and practice?"
Scarlett nodded and then shook her head, "It's not that I can't calm down and practice, but that I can't focus on practice for a long time. It's like setting a shackle for myself, telling myself that I can only practice for two hours a day.
Two hours later, my mind started to wander involuntarily, and I couldn't calm down no matter what."
Scarlett lowered her head, not daring to look at Ye Xian's face. She was afraid of seeing a look of contempt on Ye Xian's face.
In fact, she also wanted to work hard, but she really couldn't do it.
"This problem..." Ye Xian smiled softly, "It's actually easy to solve, Scarlett, do you believe me?"
"Ah?" Scarlett was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.
Besides her father, the one she trusted the most was Ye Xian.
"Well, after the auction is over, I will practice with you, and then help you find out the problem and solve it completely."
"Really? Is it really possible?"
Scarlett excitedly held Ye Xian's hand.
She had tried many methods before, even spending a lot of money to hire a fifth-level great martial artist to supervise her practice, but unfortunately they all failed in the end.
She herself was already desperate.
But Ye Xian's words rekindled her confidence.
Maybe?
She is Ye Xian.
What if she can do something?
"Yes, but you must obey my arrangements during the cultivation process and cannot be perfunctory."
"I can!"
Scarlett replied loudly, her eyes were bright, and her long burgundy hair was shining with a moving luster.
No one doesn't want to be a better version of themselves.
"Okay, then leave it to me."
Ye Xian looked calm and his tone was even more understated, as if he thought this was really not a difficult task.
Scarlett was shocked by her appearance and felt a little more confident in her heart.
After that, the corners of her mouth were turned up all the time, and the melancholy brought by Frankland's words was swept away.
Ye Xian felt relieved when he saw this, and had already begun to plan Scarlett's next training arrangements in his mind.
Not long after, there were already several training methods waiting to be implemented on Scarlett.
At this time, the auction held by the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce officially began.
Under the eager gaze of everyone, an indistinguishable androgynous man in red walked onto the auction stage.
"Welcome everyone to attend the auction held by the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce. I am the auctioneer of this auction - Feng.
There are hundreds of treasures in today's auction, and you will not be disappointed.
I announce that today’s auction will officially begin!”
"Ah, why is it a man!"
"How does the Golden Dragon Auction work? How do you find a man to be the auctioneer!"
"Where's Rose? Why isn't Rose hosting today? We want Rose!"
"..."
As soon as Feng finished speaking, there was a loud noise in the hall.
Scarlett opened her bright eyes and said to Ye Xian, "He is so beautiful."
Her tone was pure, and only appreciation could be heard.
Ye Xian's eyes fell on Feng's delicate face, and he nodded in agreement, "Yes, it is indeed beautiful."
It's a pity that not many people can appreciate it.
Feng frowned slightly, reached out and picked up the small hammer in front of him, and tapped it gently on the table.
"Bang!"
Ye Xian was shocked, and her ears seemed to be ringing with bells and drums. She looked at the figure on the auction stage in surprise. After a while, a strange color flashed across her eyes. It seemed that she was overthinking it, and the other party didn't need her.
regret.
The auction hall was eerily quiet at this time, and many people were staring blankly into space, looking in a trance.
Feng didn't seem to notice the strange scene in the audience. He picked up the first auction item sent by his assistant and began to introduce it.
"Dear guests, please take a look. The first auction item is a second-level weapon called the Rakshasa Knife. The blade is made of..."
His voice was steady and without any ups and downs, as if he had recited the introduction manuscript exactly.
Everyone in the auction hall gradually came back to their senses, with complicated expressions, but they did not dare to say another word and could only listen to the other party's introduction silently.
"...The base price is one thousand gold coins, please bid."
There was a long silence under the stage.
Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze swept over everyone in the hall, "Why, no one is willing to bid?"
"...I will pay you eleven hundred gold coins."
Finally, someone gingerly raised the number plate in his hand.
After he finished lifting, he was stunned for a moment.
He really wanted this Shura Knife, and he really wanted to auction it, but because the auctioneer named Feng was too scary, he didn't dare to bid.
He originally thought that he would definitely miss this treasure, but when he was feeling lost, Feng's eyes suddenly fell on him.
At this moment, a strong desire emerged in his heart. He must get this Shura knife, so he raised his hand.
"Okay, now it's eleven hundred gold coins."
It was still dull, without a trace of ups and downs in the sound.
But the sound was like a drop of water falling into a pan of oil, instantly making the auction hall lively again.
"I'll pay you one thousand, two hundred gold coins!"
"One thousand three! One thousand three!"
"I'll pay you a thousand and a half! Don't try to rob it from me!"
The sound of quotations was louder than the last.
Chapter completed!
