The largest auction hall in the inner city of Liubo City was brightly lit tonight and was very lively.
There was a lot of traffic outside the auction hall, and wealthy families from various aristocratic families came in droves to guard the place.
A luxurious and majestic chariot stopped at the door of the auction hall, attracting everyone's attention. The maid in charge of reception hurried forward because she recognized that it was a vehicle from Xinghaifang.
The moment Duanmuqing got out of the car, many elders from aristocratic families around him immediately wanted to come forward and talk.
Although Xinghaifang is a relatively low-end industry under the behemoth Tianque Island, the deacon of Xinghaifang in Liubo City has extremely outstanding skills and abilities, and it is said that he is not far away from being promoted.
Naturally, many forces in Liubo City would be happy to make friends with such a promising monk. If one day he becomes a successful monk on Tianque Island, just a little friendship with him may bring huge benefits to his family.
Duanmuqing got out of the car, but he didn't even look at anyone else. Instead, he was respectful and cautiously made a gesture of invitation.
Then, a man and a woman got out of the car.
The two of them looked like they were from the human race, the man was a middle-aged warrior, unsmiling and fierce in appearance.
The woman is astonishing, no matter the appearance, figure or temperament, she is first-class. Just by meeting her, she overwhelms the hostesses from all walks of life who are dressed up to attend tonight.
Accompanied by such a fairy woman, and Duanmu Qing from Xinghaifang respectfully guiding the way, the identity of the middle-aged man is obviously extraordinary!
The monks from various families speculated on the identity of the visitor. Duanmu Qing, with a smile on his face, acted as a welcome guest himself, led Gu Chen and Yue Hongyu into the hall, and then went up to the best seats on the second floor.
One of the boxes.
Many monks along the way looked at him sideways. Gu Chen was calm and calm, and Yue Hongyu was also calm and calm.
After sitting down in the box, Duanmu Qing said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Gu, Miss Yue, you guys can rest here for a while, drink tea and eat some cakes or something. I'll go pick up tonight's auction catalog."
Gu Chen nodded, and then saw Duan Muqing bowing to face him, slowly retreating to the door, hugging his fists, and then dared to leave.
"Assessing the situation and being able to bend and stretch are the ingredients for doing business."
Gu Chen picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The tea was sweet and quite good.
Yue Hongyu nodded in agreement. Although she didn't know what Gu Chen had done to Duanmu Qing, since he appeared at the inn early in the morning, his posture was very low, and his words were like a spring breeze, even to her.
This senior Gu has carefully considered the feelings of the maids around him, which is indeed unusual.
“This box has a good view.”
Gu Chen looked out the window again. From his angle, he had a clear view of the circular auction table. He could also see the guests in the hall clearly, but others could not see him.
"Didn't Senior Gu say that wealth should not be revealed and things should be kept as low-key as possible?"
Yue Hongyu was a little confused. When Duanmuqing learned that Gu Chen was going to attend the auction, she immediately said that she would arrange the best box for them. At that time, she thought that Senior Gu would refuse given his character.
"Tonight we are bound to win the mustard mica. We can't keep a low profile even if we want to, so we might as well keep a high profile."
As Gu Chen said, Duan Muqing ran in holding the auction catalog.
Gu Chen took the auction catalog and first turned to the introduction about mustard mica.
Judging from the introduction, the actual product of this mustard mica was even better than what I had learned before, which made Gu Chen quite excited.
However, the better the quality, the more people will compete, so three million Zhu Jing may not be a safe win.
Gu Chen glanced out the window. Because Duan Muqing was respectful to him, many respectable monks were guessing his identity, and their eyes and consciousness kept looking towards his box.
Maybe you can take advantage of it.
Gu Chen had a plan in mind.
Mustard seed mica appears as the twentieth auction item tonight, and it is not the finale. In a big city like Liubo City, there are many auction items with higher value than it.
However, the auction items that appear every ten days are also of high quality. After all, if the auction items fail to arouse the interest of the guests, it will inevitably affect the sales of the whole night.
Mustard seed mica is considered the highlight of the auction and is expected to cause a small climax.
"I wonder which auction items Mr. Gu has taken a fancy to tonight? I have some savings here. If Mr. Gu likes something, just ask, and I will bid for it and then give it to Mr. Gu."
Duanmuqing came up and tried to please him.
"So generous? What if I want it all?"
Gu Chen joked that Duan Muqing must have a good fortune if he dared to offer it to him without even knowing what he wanted.
"You want them all? Sir, don't scare me. I can't do it even if I bankrupt my family."
Duan Muqing couldn't help but cry sadly. He had already made mental preparations. Even if Gu Chen wanted the final auction item, he would have to satisfy him even if he was bleeding profusely.
But he wants them all, unless the Zhu Jing of Xinghaifang is his own and he can appropriate it at will, otherwise he can't do it!
He suddenly became worried. If Gu Chenzhen asked him to betray Tianque Island, he would not be able to resist at all!
"Don't worry, I told you before at the inn that the restriction on you is just a precaution. The principle of mutual benefit is the principle of communication between you and me."
After Gu Chen finished scaring everyone, he comforted him.
Duanmuqing became greedy after seeing the life path method he gave him, and couldn't help but practice for a while, but unexpectedly fell into his trap.
The method he gave is actually a kind of restriction based on the Great Fate Technique. If you just look at it, once you practice it, it is equivalent to handing your fate into his hands. Once the contract is completed, he will control the fate of the other party!
Duan Muqing's cultivation level was not enough to resist his technique, so now his life depended on his single thought. Even if he pinched his fingers, he could figure out when and where Duan Muqing was doing what he was doing even from across the world.
Under the control of this fate, it is impossible for the other party to do anything detrimental to him, and it can be said that he has become a complete slave.
After all, there is a behemoth like Tianque Island behind the opponent. In order to prevent the opponent from turning to the masters of Tianque Island and attracting enemies that he is currently unable to fight, such absolute control methods are necessary.
However, Gu Chen has his own principles in doing things. Duan Muqing has no enmity with him and has not let his subordinates kill him from the beginning. Naturally, he will not embarrass him.
The restriction is only temporary. All he wants is to access Tianque Island's channels and resources through the other party in order to quickly restore his strength.
There is no need to take advantage of a young monk. What he said about mutual benefit is true. As long as the other party works hard for him, the benefits he will get in the future will definitely be beyond his imagination now.
Gu Chen treated each other with sincerity, but Duan Muqing was heartbroken and didn't dare to believe it.
At this point, he has no other choice but to try his best to satisfy this god of plague.
