Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei left the inn and headed to the auction house.
On the road, Wang Pingbei looked around from time to time.
"What are you looking at?"
Xiao Chen asked strangely when he saw this.
"I'm looking to see if anyone is following us...I always feel exposed."
Wang Pingbei replied.
"No, the more guilty you are, the easier it is to attract others' attention."
Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei and said.
"With your current state of mind, when you arrive at the auction site later and see Zhao Cangqiong and the others, don't you tremble? Don't you want to be exposed?"
"I, that's not the case. As long as we don't have the risk of exposure, I'm not too scared."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"Brother Chen, we didn't reveal any flaws this morning, right?"
"No."
Xiao Chen said, raising his head and looking into the sky, there were two old men passing by in the air.
One of them was Mr. Song who nodded to him in the morning.
"That's good."
Wang Pingbei took a deep breath to calm himself down a bit.
"Brother Chen, let's stay in the box as much as possible in the afternoon and don't show up in public. We must keep a low profile."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Don't be nagging, I'm still looking forward to the auction in the afternoon... I don't know what the price of the Heaven-Zlaying Sword will be sold for."
"The magic weapon...the price will not be low."
Wang Pingbei was very excited when he thought about that magic weapon.
Although it was not his, he felt that... he and Xiao Chen were 'his own'. The more Xiao Chen had spiritual stones, the more generous he would be to himself.
Soon, the two came to the street in front of the auction house.
Just like in the morning, there are still many people here.
The only difference is that after the auction in the morning, the faces of Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei were remembered by many practitioners.
When they saw the two of them, they nodded and even moved out of the way.
Maybe they don't know Xiao Chen's strength, but being able to go to the herringbone box is a symbol of status.
"Young Master Chen, Young Master Wang..."
A female practitioner came over with a smile on her face.
"hehe."
Xiao Chen also smiled, this was obviously much higher quality than the female cultivator in the morning.
However, there is still no comparison with the girls from Wenqinglou.
The journey that was originally a few minutes slowed down a lot after being entangled by these female practitioners.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen, who was chatting and laughing with the female cultivator, raised his head and looked in one direction.
Eight people, carrying a sedan, walked steadily towards the auction house.
People along the way avoided him one after another.
"The bearer who transformed his strength into cultivation..."
Xiao Chen's eyes swept across the eight sedan bearers and then landed on the sedan.
Who is sitting here?
"He's from Shanhailou."
Wang Pingbei said in a low voice.
"The person sitting in the sedan chair should be Gongsun Zhen."
"Huh? How did you know?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"The sedan has the 'Shan Hai' logo on it, just like the 'Qingyun' logo on Qingyun Tower."
Wang Pingbei replied.
"This old guy really knows how to enjoy himself, he's very stylish."
Xiao Chen sneered and looked at the five or six people following the sedan, all of whom had the aura of foundation building.
"It's normal for such a big boss to have some style. It would be abnormal if he came on foot."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"Maybe it was what happened last night that made him embarrassed to see others."
Xiao Chen's sneer became even stronger.
"Hey, where is Gongsun Liang? Why haven't you seen him?"
"They probably didn't come together... Look, those are people from the Void Sword Sect."
Wang Pingbei looked in another direction and said.
Xiao Chen looked over and saw five or six people riding tall horses, walking slowly.
This tall horse looks like a majestic horse. It is obviously not an ordinary horse.
"This horse is pretty good."
"It should have the blood of an alien beast."
Wang Pingbei replied.
"Even... a strange beast."
"Exotic beast?"
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"Can alien beasts become mounts?"
"Of course, this is just a horse. Some big guys can also ride various exotic beasts..."
Wang Pingbei nodded.
"Especially the Beast Taming Palace, they can control strange beasts and exert powerful combat power... Shanhai Tower also has the means to control beasts, just like the 'Mountain and Sea Beasts' summoned by Chen Haitao."
"It's interesting."
Xiao Chen looked at the big horse walking in the front, with an old man sitting on it.
There was a young man leading a horse and holding a wooden box in his hand.
In the box, there is a sword.
"Tell me, if we come here riding Sister Snake, wouldn't it be the most popular?"
Xiao Chen thought of something and asked.
"..."
Wang Pingbei was speechless, how did you think of that big snake?
That's the beast king in the forbidden area of Tian Jueyuan!
Not to mention the beast king in the forbidden area of Tian Jueyuan, even the beast king in the ordinary cave is not easy to control.
"Xiao Xing can do it...but speaking of it, Xiao Xing's strength is a little weak."
Xiao Chen thought about the dinosaur in the Ouse Mountains again. When he returned, he must take it back to Longshan and train it properly.
"City Lord Zhao..."
A group of people came in a mighty manner, and people they knew stopped to say hello.
"Is he Zhao Cangqiong?"
Xiao Chen looked at it from a distance and recalled that this person had been to the scene after he wrote the word in blood that day.
At that time, he had guessed that it should be Zhao Cangqiong.
It seems true.
"Probably, I haven't seen Zhao Cangqiong either... Zhao Ritian and Zhao Yuanji are both here, as well as people from the Zhao family."
Wangping North Road.
"However, you are really low-key, and you actually came here on foot."
"A real boss doesn't need to rely on external objects to show his identity."
Xiao Chen smiled and did not go up to say hello.
He has friendship with Zhao Ritian and Zhao Yuanji, but doesn't know Zhao Cangqiong, so there is no need to rush to do anything.
I'll see you again when we get to the auction.
When the time comes, it will be too late to say hello.
"Too."
Wang Pingbei thought for a while and nodded.
"You, the owner of Qingyun Tower, even if you are holding a broken bowl and look like a beggar, no one dares to look down on you."
Xiao Chen said again.
"..."
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen, your words...are they filled with personal grudges?
More than ten minutes later, the two arrived at the auction.
"Brother Chen..."
Zhao Ritian and Zhao Yuanji were at the door, coming over to say hello.
"Hmm? Waiting for us specially?"
Xiao Chen was confused, the Zhao family's group should have arrived just now, right?
"Yes, we went in and looked around just now, but we didn't find you, so we came out specially to wait for you."
Zhao Ritian nodded.
"Haha, what are we waiting for?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"My third brother wants to meet you."
Zhao Ritian said.
"Your third brother? City Zhao wants to see me?"
Xiao Chen was a little surprised. With Zhao Cangqiong's status, there was no need to take the initiative to see him.
Even if he comes from a hidden force and is powerful, it won't be a problem.
The only explanation is because of Zhao Ritian and Zhao Yuanji.
Then, he thought of a possibility... Could it be that Zhao Cangqiong also wanted him to represent Sifang City in the battle?
Wang Pingbei, who was next to him, tensed up slightly, then relaxed quickly.
Zhao Cangqiong wanted to see Xiao Chen, so he shouldn't have any suspicion.
Otherwise, there is no need to meet him at all, and he will just lead someone to capture it.
After all, this is Sifang City, the territory of Zhao Cangqiong, and the territory of the four major forces!
"Third brother, I heard we mentioned you, so I wanted to get to know you."
Zhao Ritian smiled.
"haha okay."
Xiao Chen nodded with a smile and walked inside.
"Beizi, please go back to the box and wait for me."
"good."
Hearing this, Wang Pingbei was obviously relieved.
He was also worried that if he came into close contact with the bosses, they would notice him.
Although his acting skills are superb, problems can easily arise if his breath becomes unstable or the like.
The safest thing is to stay in the box and not have close contact with the big guys.
Wang Pingbei went back, while Xiao Chen went to the Tianzihao box.
In the morning, he just looked outside and did not go in.
The Tianzi box is much better than the Herringbone box, both in terms of space and decoration, it is larger and more upscale.
Before Xiao Chen entered the Tianzihao box, he paused slightly and noticed a stream of spiritual consciousness sweeping towards him.
At the same time, he also felt eyes falling on him.
The moment Xiao Chen paused slightly, he looked around and met a series of eyes.
These glances come from the big guys in Sifang City, as well as powerful outsiders!
Including, Gongsun Zhen.
Xiao Chen chuckled, looked away, and entered the Tianzihao box.
This time, he saw Zhao Cangqiong up close.
Even just now, there was still a certain distance.
As the distance got closer, a faint coercion spread out from Zhao Cangqiong.
This coercion is not released intentionally, but is formed naturally after living on people for a long time.
"Third brother, Brother Chen is here."
Zhao Ritian said.
"Haha, Xiaoyou Chen."
Zhao Cangqiong stood up and smiled, quite politely.
Xiao Chen was a little surprised. He thought Zhao Cangqiong was very serious, but unexpectedly he was quite easy-going.
"Haha, I have met City Lord Zhao."
Xiao Chen cupped his hands.
"You and Xiaohao are close friends. There is no need to be polite. Come on, please sit down."
Zhao Cangqiong said and made an 'invitation' gesture.
"Xiao Hao?"
Xiao Chen was startled and looked at Zhao Ritian.
"Ahem, there is something that I have never told Brother Chen...my real name is 'Zhao Hao', not 'Zhao Ritian'."
Zhao Ritian saw Xiao Chen looking at him and explained.
"Brother Chen, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I have always used the name 'Zhao Ritian' when I traveled around the world."
"Zhao Hao...Hao, Ritian?"
Xiao Chen looked weird, so that’s how ‘Ritian’ came to be.
"Sorry, I wanted to tell you this morning, but I didn't have the chance..."
Zhao Ritian saw that Xiao Chen was silent and said again.
"Haha, it's nothing. Whoever travels around the world doesn't have an alias."
Xiao Chen smiled and didn't care.
Moreover, his words can be regarded as foreshadowing. If his identity is exposed one day, he will not be deceiving Zhao Ritian.
‘Chen Xiao’ is also his alias.
His name is reversed, which is more straightforward than 'Hao' decomposed into 'Ritian'.
"Hahaha, I wish you could understand."
Zhao Ritian laughed.
"Yeah, I understand, I understand very much."
Xiao Chen nodded and murmured in his heart, you must understand me in the future!
Zhao Cangqiong glanced at Zhao Ritian and then at Xiao Chen. It seemed that in the eyes of his seventh brother, Chen Xiao was of great importance.
He understood that his younger brother, although not unruly, was not easy to get along with either.
Being able to explain it this way already means something.
