  "What?"

  "Do you want a black robe?" The woman replied impatiently.

  Han Chen froze for a moment, before reacting. Earlier, he had seen quite a few people wearing loose black robes. The black robes covered the heads and faces, making it impossible to determine their identity. This way, he could avoid being targeted by the Chou family. Secondly, he could not reveal his wealth and disturb the line of sight of those who committed crimes.

  Han Chen thought that he should not have to hide his identity and was about to open his mouth to refuse. Suddenly, a few familiar figures appeared in his line of sight.

  Not far away, Liu Yifeng, Ji Rushi, and another young and beautiful girl were preparing to enter.

  When the guards at the entrance saw the four of them, they were extremely polite and bowed. The target of those people's respect was actually that young lady that Han Chen did not recognize.

  "Give me a black robe!" Han Chen changed his tone towards the middle aged woman and said, he really did not wish to see Liu Yifeng, Ji Rushi and the others.

  Chapter 95 - Auction House

  After showing his admission ticket, Han Chen, dressed in a black robe, entered the auction venue.

  All sorts of noises and noises surged over likidal wave. The area of the site was very large, and a high platform was erected in the middle. There were audience stands in three directions.

  From the front to the back, from the bottom to the top. It looked likuge pit had sunk into the ground.

  At the innermost corner, there waassageway. It was the interior of the Phoenix and the building. When the auction starts, the staff members and the items being auctioned will all come out.

  Han Chen followed the instructions on the admission ticket and found his position. It was actually in the first row, closest to the high platform. He was rather surprised by this.

  The surrounding dense and dense crowd of people had almost several thousand people within them. Han Chen was secretly surprised. The Phoenix and Phoenix Restaurant had earned tens of thousands of silver taels. It was indeed a confirmation of the old saying that there was nothing wrong with one's words.

  Han Chen swept his eyes across the surroundings, and like him, there were quite a few people wearing black robes, roughly around two to three hundred people. He had been worried that he would be treated as a beast race, but now he felt that it was rather normal.

  The auction venue was still rather tightly guarded. There were more than ten burly men guarding the entrance and exit.

  Han Chen also found Bai Yu, Bai Hong, and the White Army in the crowd. They were all located in the middle south side. Bai Hong and Bai Jun had prideful expressions on their faces. Bai Yuxiu, on the other hand, had a hint of worry on her face. His beautiful eyes scanned the crowd from time to time, as if he was looking for someone.

  "Big brother, our seats are here."

  A soft female voice came from behind Han Chen, giving him a fright. Who else could it be other than Liu Xin?

  Sure enough, Han Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. In his line of sight under the black robe, he saw Liu Xin, Liu Yifeng, Ji Rushi and that young stranger woman. The four of them were sitting not far from Han Chen, with only two seats between them.

  "God really knows how to joke." Han Chen secretly found it funny. The person he didn't want to see the most was actually sitting right next to him. Fortunately, he wanted this black robe. Otherwise, who knew what would happen if he were to encounter it here.

  "Big brother, sister-in-law, you two can sit together." "Big sister Yan'er and I are together, hehe." Liu Xin had an innocent and lively smile on her face. She didn't know that under her pure exterior, there waaughty and unreasonable heart.

  Liu Yifeng laughed, and modestly gestured for Ji Rushi to sit, while she sat on her left. The Liu siblings sat on each side of the four seats. Ji Rushi was sitting in the middle of the group with the unfamiliar young lady, and Liu Xin was standing right next to him.

  At this moment, Ji Rushi subconsciously turned her gaze to the right. Han Chen immediately turned her head around as she lowered Black Robe's hat. At the same time, she thought to herself, Could they be discovered too?

  "Ru Shi, what's wrong?" Liu Yifeng asked with a gentle tone.

  The corner of Ji Rushi's mouth rose as she shook her head, "I'm fine."

  "Big Sister Yan'er, look how much my brother and sister-in-law love each other! I want to find someone who cares about me that much in the future. " Liu Xin laughed.

  "Damned girl, you're joking with me again?" Liu Yifeng scolded him with a smile. Ji Rushi's face turned slightly red, a trace of bashfulness flashing past her eyes.

  Liu Xin mischievously stuck out her tongue. The young girl called Yan'er also gave a faint smile, "Hehe, Little Xin, you're so beautiful. There must be a lot of men who would be nice to you. "

  "If I were to talk about beauty, how could I compare to big sister Yan Er? Those who pursue you, form a long line! "

  "Stupid girl, you're the only one who has such a sweet mouth."

  Hearing the laughter of the four, Han Chen, who was not far away, was startled. Yan'er? His mind immediately lit up. Could it be that he was the daughter of the Azure Blue Prince, Princess Cang Yaner?

  He recalled the respectful manner in which the guard at the door had entered the place when he was outside. It was obvious that the other party's identity was extraordinary. Adding on to that, in Blue Moon City and the Hidden Court City, the only one with the name Yan'er was Princess Cang Yaner. It was basically certain that the young lady was most likely the Azure Blue Prince's daughter.

  "I never thought that Liu Xin and Cang Yaner's relationship is so good." Han Chen was slightly surprised. No wonder the former acted like she looked down on everyone else. It turned out that not only did she have the background of the Liu Family, but she also had a friend from the Royal Family.

  At the same time, the atmosphere of the entire auction house suddenly became much quieter.

  Han Chen looked up. So it was the auction that was about to begin. He saw several young women with exquisite figures and pretty faces, dressed in red qipao, ascend to the stage from the passage in the inner hall one by one.

  The few young women stepped onto the platform and stood separately on the left and right sides of the platform. Soon after, a voluptuous woman with thick makeup on her face walked out. The moment she appeared, endless cheers sounded out from the crowd.

  The seductive woman stepped onto the high platform witrofessional smile plastered on her face. Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Phoenix Restaurant's auction. I'm an old friend of yours, Senna. "

  "Senna, why have you only appeared now? You're late."

  "I've waited for so long. I'm finally here, haha."

  It could be seen that Su Na was quite well-known in Cang Lan City. However, most of the people who were interested in her were men.

  To this, Su Na just smiled and waved her hand, indicating for everyone to quiet down, "I've made everyone wait for a long time. "However, the treasures that will be auctioned tonight will definitely not disappoint you all."

  The atmosphere on the field was stirred up once again. Su Na smiled and patted her hands, "I believe everyone knows about the rules of the auction house. If the highest bidder obtains it, I won't say much. "Here's the first treasure for today."

  Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a young girl walked up to the stage leisurely with a wooden tray in her hand. On the tray, there was a sword lying quietly. The sharp sword was about 1.23 meters long, and it was entirely vermillion red in color. It also emitted a faint fiery aura.

  "The Ever-Flame Sword, although only an ordinary weapon. However, the sword was embedded with a magical beast of the ninth rank, the core of the Fiery Lion. In battle, the user would be able to summon the essence of the flame to assist the user. The difference between its power and its treasure is not too far. "

  Su Na gave a general explanation of the situation. Her eyes moved around as she shouted, "
The price is 10,000 gold taels."

  "Eleven thousand!"

  "Twelve thousand!"

  "13,000 taels."

  The moment that voice fell, a voice louder and louder sounded from the audience stands. Han Chen, who was inside the black robe, was a little dumbfounded. My god, this time I'm going to use ten thousand to calculate, and increase my gold by a thousand. The one hundred thousand taels of silver notes in his pocket couldn't even afford the monster core on the Ever-Flame Sword.

  At this time, Han Chen finally felt the importance of money, and changed his mind. What kind of price would hemoptysis be? I hope it's not too high.

  Afteound of bidding, the Ever-Flame Sword had already been sold for eighteen thousand taels of gold. It was only now that the momentum on the field settled down a bit.

  As for the auctioneer, she was going to play her part. Su Na wore a beautiful smile on her face as she slightly raised her arm. Her tone was high, but it was not lacking in gentleness. "Hehe, this young master has bid eighteen thousand silver taels, is there anyone higher than him?"

  "I'll pay twenty thousand." A loud voice echoed in the air. Han Chen could not help but be taken aback, and turned his gaze to where Bai Hong was standing with the rest of the people. The twenty thousand was what he had called out.

  "Hehe, so it's Young Master Bai Hong of the Bai family. It's my pleasure to meet you." Su Na politely nodded and continued, "When Young Master Bai Hong paid twenty thousand, who else higher?"

  Sounds of discussion echoed around the auction field. It seemed that no one was bidding anymore. Bai Hong's arrogant attitude made him even more proud.

  "Twenty-five thousand!"

  Another voice rang out, and everyone was startled. Their gazes uniformly swept towards the first row. The one who called out the price was none other than the young master of the Liu Family, Liu Yifeng.

  "It's young master Liu!" Tsk tsk, 25,000 gold, it's only his huge sum. "

  "Truly amazing. He added 5,000 gold in one go. Truly generous."

  Hearing that everyone started to praise Liu Yifeng, Bai Hong's face couldn't help but sink. Glancing at Bai Yu and Bai Jun beside him, he gritted his teeth and shouted.

  "Twenty-six thousand."

  "Heh." Liu Yifeng chuckled, his eyebrows jumped as he shouted once more, "Thirty thousand."

  Hiss! When this price was announced, everyone in the audience sucked in a breath of cold air. The price was only ten thousand, and in the blink of an eye, it had tripled. The black-robed Han Chen was also somewhat surprised. The financial resources of the Liu Family were much higher than they had imagined.

  If he earned that much, Liu Yifeng would naturally be happy. However, Ji Rushi, who was standing beside her, knitted her eyebrows and softly asked, "Yi Feng, that Everlasting Fire Sword is not much better than your current weapon. "Why do you have to waste this money?"

  "Sister-in-law, do you understand now?" Liu Xin took the lead and spoke first, "Taking down the first round of this auction is a good omen. The same is also true for the Liu Family! Big Sister Yan'Er, what do you say? "

  "That's right. Thirty thousand taels of gold is nothing to the Liu Family anyway." Cang Yaner replied casually, but between her beautiful eyebrows, she was also displaying that kind of haughty attitude.

  Ji Rushi did not speak further, and only shook her head slightly.

  "Young master Liu has bid 30,000, I wonder if there iigher price?" Although Su Na said this to everyone, her gaze was indeed looking towards Bai Hong's direction. The attention of the two thousand over people present similarly gathered on him.

  It was the best way to express Bai Hong's current state of mind. In his heart, he hated Liu Yifeng to the core. What should he do? Should he retreat after knowing the difficulties, or should he slap himself on the face to make it look more like a fatty. This time, the three siblings only brought a little more than 30,000 gold with them.

  Just as Bai Hong was about to retreat, Bai Yu's lips moved, and suddenly shouted calmly, "Thirty-five thousand."

  Chapter 96 - Asteroid Palm Technique

  "Thirty-five thousand."

  A few soft words came out from Bai Yu's little mouth. The atmosphere instantly rose up. As for Bai Hong and Bai Jun, their hearts were about to jump out of their chests, their eyeballs almost popping out of their bodies.

  Altogether, the three of them didn't even havotal of thirty-five thousand silver. Bai Yu actually offered a price that was beyond her abilities. Was she crazy?

  Bai Yu's face was still calm, her beautiful eyes carried a hint of provocation as she looked at Liu Yifeng and the others in the first row.

  The latter could not help but frown. Ji Rushi, who was at the side, hurriedly advised, "Yi Feng, stop raising the bid, just let them have it."

  Liu Xin, who was full of confidence just now, also entered into a state of hesitation. After all, a single Ever-Flame Sword was far from reaching the price of thirty-five thousand taels of gold. Although face was important, if one suffered too many losses, their heart would feel miserable as well.

  Cang Yaner smiled faintly, but did not give any advice.

  At this moment, even the host, Su Na, no longer spoke. Professionals had professional ethics and a wealth of work experience. If he continued to spur customers on to bid, it would inevitably lead to resentment and disaster. After all, the price of the Ever-Flame Sword was thirty-five thousand gold. It could be considered the highest price one could get.

  Besides, at this time, it could be said that the competition between the Liu Family and the Bai Family would be settled by them.

  "Yi Feng, stop thinking about it. Give it to her!" Ji Rushi continued to advise.

  Bai Yu raised her eyebrows and acted like she despised Liu Yifeng. Then, she said to the stage, "Miss Su Na, I think that no one will fight with me anymore. This first deal, we can conclude it together."

  "Wait." Liu Yifeng's brows tightly knitted, his throat slid up and down as he coldly spat out a few words, "I bid forty thousand silver."

  BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The entire audience boiled with excitement, as if they were in a pot of boiling water. A mere Ever-Flame Sword actually bid forty thousand gold. Even the host, Su Na, couldn't remain calm.

  Bai Hong and Bai Jun both let out a sigh of relief as though they had been relieved of a heavy burden.

  Bai Yu smiled evilly as she stood up and waved her hand, "Haha, since young master Liu likes the Ever-Flame Sword so much, then I'll give it to you, no need to thank me!"

  At that moment, everyone present seemed to have suddenly understood something. Bai Yu did not want this Ever-Flame Sword at all, so the price was raised this high. He completely wanted Liu Yifeng to give him that ten thousand gold.

  Numerous meaningful gazes gathered on Liu Yifeng, and there was no lack of schadenfreude. Liu Yifeng's face suddenly turned green, and a nameless flame ignited in his heart. "Bai Yu, you …"

  "Haha, you're welcome, young master Liu." Bai Yu raised her eyebrows before sitting back down. She no longer paid any attention to the other party.

  The host Sura was stunned. This was the first time something like this had happened in the auction house! Shaking his head helplessly, he immediately recovered his professional smile.

  "The first round of bidding is truly intense. The one who took the Ever-Flame Sword is Young Master Liu Yifeng. "

  Then, the young lady who was holding onto the Ever-Flame Sword walked down the platform, then walked towards Liu Yifeng.

  "Young Master Liu, your Ever-Flame Sword."

  The girl's voice was rather sweet, but to Liu Yifeng's ears, it sounded like sharp noise. Gritting his teeth, he suppressed the rage in his heart and took out four gold notes worth ten thousand gold coins each and placed them on the Ever-Flame Sword's tray.

  "Send someone to deliver this sword to my house in a few days!"

  "Yes, young master Liu." The young girl smiled sweetly and politely bowed slightly before turning around to leave
the auction grounds with the Ever-Flame Sword and the four golden notes.

  The expressions of everyone present were truly strange. Liu Yifeng, who had originally wanted to be famous, now had not only not earned any face, he had even lost forty thousand gold. Now that he thought about it, it was indeed a painful realization.

  "I told you not to fight, but you just wouldn't listen to me." Ji Rushi said a little helplessly.

  "You shut up." Liu Yifeng who was on the verge of exploding in anger casually shouted.

  Ji Rushi's body could not help but tremble, the words that she wanted to say to comfort the other party were stuck in her throat, unable to come out. At the same time, a sense of loss and grievance welled up in her heart.

  "Hmph, Bai Yu is so sinister." Liu Xin was especially angry as she scolded. Cang Yaner, who was standing at the side, revealed a faint interest in her, smiled, and did not say much.

  Han Chen, who was inside the black robe, almost couldn't make a sound. He thought to himself, 'Why didn't I realize that Bai Yu was so cute in the past?' Looking at Liu Yifeng's face which was as angry as slate, Han Chen was secretly pleased.

  The dragon-like first round of the auction ended just like that. Next, Su Na brought everyone to the second round of bidding. This time it was a blue bead, the size of a laurel ball, that was brought to the stage.

  "The Water-Repelling Pearl, relying on this treasure. It could dive into water thousands of meters below the surface without being affected by underwater pressure. "The starting bid is 10,000 gold."

  "One in case."

  "Twelve thousand."

  "13,000."

  All sorts of cheering sounds began to rise and fall. Han Chen kept shaking his head, wondering if the auction would be a waste of time. The 100,000 silver bills he had on him was equivalent to 10,000 gold. This was also the starting price for the treasure. Even if he had his eyes on something, he couldn't afford it.

  In fact, Han Chen was wrong, the first few items were all valuable treasures. It is used to attract the audience's interest at the beginning. The best of course is the last to be used for the finale. And in the middle of it all, the item was the worst. So, next, there might be something that Han Chen can afford.
