Chapter 193 Gathering of Treasures
After opening a heavy floor-length door curtain embroidered with dark patterns, the venue was densely packed with people.
Since there are only ten places in Class C, we were arranged to sit behind Class B.
At this time, the dignitaries in the second-class area were already waiting impatiently, but there were many rules in the underground auction. In order to get the items they dreamed of, they abide by the rules and did not dare to make any noise or move around at will.
The officials and their wives, who were usually very high-spirited outside, were now sitting in their seats as quietly as quails, occasionally exchanging a few words with their companions in very low voices.
"You guys sit here."
The guard pointed to the two empty spaces at the rear, "Remember, don't move around at will!"
Xiao Ruofeng helped Su Qingtian sit down with a big hand. He took out five taels of silver from his waist and stuffed it into the guard's hand without leaving any trace.
"May I ask, sir, what should I do if I want to go to the toilet?"
After squeezing the silver in his hand, the guard stretched out a finger and pointed in the direction of a small door next to him.
"That's where it is, just go there quietly."
"Thank you, sir." Xiao Ruofeng bowed his hands and sent away the two guards very politely.
After their figures disappeared behind the curtain, Xiao Ruofeng sat down next to Su Qingtian.
Although the rules of underground auctions are strict, the courtesy is not lacking.
There were four or five kinds of pastries on the small table in front of him, as well as two pots of tea.
I casually picked up a pot and poured two cups. As soon as the tea flowed out from the spout, the refreshing fragrance also entered my nose.
It is indeed a top-notch Maojian, and the other pot must be also a good one.
In the past, in the upper world, every time when the little uncle came back from exploring the small world, he would bring back the best food there to Su Qingtian, so the little girl didn't think these things were anything at all.
On the contrary, the five-color pastries in front of her were more attractive to her. Although Xiao Ziye served a satisfying breakfast and lunch table, she couldn't help but feel hungry. She was already feeling faintly hungry.
She picked a piece of pastry that was pleasing to the eye and stuffed it into her mouth. After one bite, Su Qingtian narrowed her eyes happily.
Don't tell me, it's really delicious.
Compared with the more rugged factions in Fengcheng, the pastries in Jingcheng are indeed exquisite.
The taste is rich in layers and the feeling in the mouth is also relatively delicate.
Su Qingtian compared the dishes in her mind while eating, planning to choose the most delicious one and take it back in her pocket.
Compared with Su Qingtian's leisurely attitude, Xiao Ruofeng on the side never let go of his vigilance.
Through the mask, his eyes scanned the moving heads in front of him over and over again, trying to see clearly the faces of these people and whether there was anyone he knew or was familiar with.
But those who can come to this underground auction are not ordinary people. Most people choose to hide their faces for the sake of their own safety. After all, these people are either pregnant with rare treasures or rich in wealth, and they don't want to be targeted later.
If it results in murder and theft of treasures, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
Some big families are very cautious and bring many disciples with them, while those C-level people without family power choose to hire thugs to ensure their own safety.
Everyone unanimously chose to keep a low profile. Even the carriage parked outside was completely covered with thick curtains in order not to attract attention.
Only Xiao Ruofeng and Su Qingtian, who wear evil ghost masks, are very special. With such conspicuous masks, they will become the focus of attention if you sweep them casually.
Because of this, the two people attracted the attention of some people in the second class shortly after they took their seats.
"Brother, why did you come here with such a mask?"
The fat man wearing a Zhu Bajie mask sitting on Xiao Ruofeng's side lowered his voice and leaned over to speak, "This mask is too eye-catching and can easily be spotted!"
"My niece likes it."
Xiao Ruofeng noticed the kindness in the other party's words, and naturally responded softly, "She likes it, so I will follow her."
As he spoke, he reached out and wiped the jujube paste hanging from the corner of the little girl's mouth.
The fat man glanced at Su Qingtian, who was busy eating, and changed the topic.
"Which treasure are you here for today?"
As he said that, the fat man turned around and saw that no one was approaching on Thursday, and his voice lowered by three points, "Isn't he also here for the Bamei screen?"
This question was asked abruptly. It was obvious that the fat man cared about that screen very much and was afraid that there would be too many people competing with him. He felt relieved if he could exclude one person.
"no."
Xiao Ruofeng denied it flatly.
"It's okay if it's not!"
The fat man patted his chest reassuringly and grinned, "I came here just for it. I heard that as soon as night falls, this screen will automatically emit the music of nature, and it will meander leisurely for three days!"
"Brother, do you know why it is called the Bamei Screen?"
Seeing the fat man's excited face, Xiao Ruofeng shook his head lightly, "I don't know."
Except for the medicinal material he wanted, Xiao Ruofeng had not investigated the other treasures.
"Because there are eight vivid beauties painted on it!"
As if he already had the screen, the fat man moved closer and said, "If she gets the favor of one of the eight beauties, she can still come out of the screen and fall in love with me."
"Even if it's just for a beauty, it's worth spending the money!"
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Su Qingtian took a bite of the mung bean cake and turned to look at the fat uncle.
"If a screen can be so magical, why not dedicate it to the emperor but put it up for auction?"
The soft and waxy voice asked, leaving the fat man speechless.
"Or, maybe there are more treasures like this in the palace!"
This was the best reason he could think of, but Su Qingtian's words finally silenced the talkative fat uncle and stopped nagging Xiao Ruofeng.
"I don't know where His Royal Highness the King of Jin found so many rare treasures."
An old man sitting behind them spoke, but his voice obviously did not match his too old face. He seemed to be wearing a human skin mask, and the dividing line hidden in his collar was also very obvious when he raised his head.
"Stone koi that can come alive when placed in water, ice grass leaves that are rare for thousands of years on Lingshan Mountain, and secret treasures that can only be dug in the center of the desert."
"These things are much more powerful than the auction five years ago."
As soon as the topic started, several people started talking among themselves in low voices.
Xiao Ruofeng listened to the people around him talking about the magic of today's auction, and secretly made up his mind.
No matter what, even if he spends all his money and assets, he must get the medicine to cure his eldest brother!
Su Qingtian could have directly detoxified Xiao Hanyue, but the uncle was a mortal after all, and forced detoxification would have strong side effects and might not be helpful for his future recovery.
It is better to wait than to overthrow the seedlings, because there is indeed a medicine in this auction that can remove all the toxins without harming the uncle.
This is the main reason why Su Qingtian followed Xiao Ruofeng here.
If the peerless medicinal material was not a suitable medicine, she would definitely not let her third uncle spend money in vain.
"Bang!"
The clear sound of the gong sounded, causing the entire venue to become silent instantly.
Chapter completed!
