Chapter 129 "Like, really like"
Qing Xiuzhu carefully took the white porcelain bottle in his hand and looked at it, his face flushed. Soon he would witness the auction of a peerless treasure.
Li Nian looked at him like that, the corners of his mouth twitched, and soon he heard him ask what the starting price should be.
"There are only three drops here. How about pricing it at 300,000 top-grade spirit stones?"
Qing Xiuzhu thought about it, nodded in agreement, and then added, "Then each bid must not be less than 50,000 top-grade spirit stones?"
Li Nian nodded in agreement.
Qing Xiuzhu looked at Li Nian's calm expression. He was really curious, "Young Master, you took out the Thunder Spirit Dew like this, aren't you afraid that I will kill someone to steal the treasure?"
Li Nian smiled, his eyes devoid of fear. "Since I dared to come here alone, I must have made every possible preparation."
Qing Xiuzhu glanced at him and couldn't sense his cultivation at all.
He had been in the auction house for many years and had met many people, including those from major sects and the eight great families, but he had never seen this person.
He asked tentatively, "Where are you from, and what is your name?"
Li Nian glanced at him and said, "My last name is Ni Ye, but it's better for Steward Qing not to know where I come from!"
Seeing the young man so carefree and at ease, with an indescribable look on his face, Qing Xiuzhu was shocked. His mind raced, trying to find a force that matched him.
But after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find any matching ones.
Li Nian knew that he was testing him, and the person in the dark was also emitting a faint pressure.
Her eyes gradually turned cold, and she released a trace of the sword power that Su Yu had left for her for self-defense.
Qing Xiuzhu suddenly felt a powerful aura pouring out, his knees went weak and he unconsciously surrendered.
The same thing happened to the monks in the dark. Almost out of instinct, they instantly retreated thirty meters away, not even having the courage to look at the young man again.
Li Nian poured himself a cup of tea and said in a slightly cold voice, "Is this how Steward Qing does business? He's actually trying to destroy his own reputation with his own hands?"
Qing Xiuzhu suppressed the fear in his heart. He bowed and saluted, saying respectfully, "Young Master, please calm down. I don't know the rules, so please forgive me for any offense."
Li Nian sneered, "Manager Qing, I'm only here on the orders of the family elders to make a deal. If you have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, you'll bear the consequences."
Qing Xiuzhu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly responded, promising that there would not be a next time.
Li Nian smiled, his eyes curved, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "The first rule of the auction house is not to disclose any information about the seller. Steward Qing should know this, right?"
Qing Xiuzhu said seriously, "This is natural. No one will break this rule."
Li Nian stood up and said, "That's great. Now that everything is settled, I'll take my leave."
Qing Xiuzhu sent him out, and Li Nian left the seventh floor. When he reached the sixth floor, a group of people came towards him.
The leader was a woman in a lavender dress, with a gentle yet dignified face. Her every move was calm and dignified, though her face looked a little sick.
The corridor was not wide and could only accommodate three people at the same time. Li Nian stood sideways at the edge, thinking of letting them pass first.
There were also several women surrounding the woman, and they all had cultivation skills and were not ordinary people.
Bu Wanqiao looked helplessly at the people surrounding her on both sides, "Changchang, Ningran, don't listen to your master's nonsense. I'm fine."
Bian Changchang took Bu Wanqiao's hand and said with a smile, "That won't do. If we don't complete the task assigned by our Master, we will be scolded. Can you bear to see us punished?"
Before Bu Wanqiao could say anything, Qu Ningran on the other side said solemnly, "We are here to buy some things this time. You may just come out to relax!"
There was a hint of guilt between Bu Wanqiao's brows. Since that incident, she has never left the house and her body has become so shabby.
As they were talking, they were about to walk up to Li Nian. Bu Wanqiao looked up at Li Nian and thanked him with a faint smile.
But when I saw Li Nian's eyes, I felt a buzzing in my head and my thoughts completely stopped at this moment.
She uncontrollably brushed away the hands of Bian Changchang and the other man, her steps trembling slightly, and looked into Li Nian's eyes in disbelief.
The eyes as gentle as water were now sparkling with tears as they stared at Li Nian, as if looking at another person through Li Nian, his eyes filled with unspeakable sadness.
She almost murmured, "Like, really seems like."
Bian Changchang and the other person were stunned for a moment, then hurried over to support the staggering person, their eyes full of confusion.
Li Nian was stunned and blinked. She didn't hear clearly what the lady said, but she looked extremely sad, with despair in her eyes.
She pursed her lips, "Ma'am, are you okay?"
The boy's clean voice brought Bu Wanqiao back to reality. She closed her sore eyes, and when she opened them again, the dead silence that could not stir up any waves returned to her eyes.
Her hands were still trembling slightly. The person in front of her was not the one she had been thinking about day and night, nor was it the little girl from many years ago. She had recognized the wrong person.
She smiled, but tears welled up in her eyes. "My dear young master, I'm sorry. I recognized the wrong person."
After saying that, he turned and left. His figure looked lonely and fragile, as if he would fall down in the next second.
Li Nian stood there and blinked. She reached out and touched her chest. She felt that she had difficulty breathing, as if a huge rock was pressing on her.
Why did I feel like I had seen the lady before? Several images flashed through my mind, but I couldn't grasp them.
Li Nian touched his head and returned to the box on the fifth floor.
Yu Feichen looked at Li Nian and then asked, "Ni Ye, have you been sucked away by your soul? You feel distracted."
Li Nian frowned, temporarily putting the doubt behind her mind. She asked, "Has the auction not started yet?"
Yu Feichen sat up straight and raised his chin to signal her to look downstairs. It was very quiet downstairs, and she stretched her neck to look towards the platform in the lobby.
On the high platform, a woman in a purple dress walked slowly, followed by six people.
Those were all masters in the Nascent Soul stage. Four of them stood around the platform in a protective posture, and the remaining two followed closely beside the woman.
"I am Shui Yuyang, the auctioneer in charge of this auction. I am in charge of the entire process. The auction begins."
As soon as he finished speaking, rows of maids came out from all over the hall and presented them with the items sold at the auction.
The only sound left at the scene was the flipping of papers. When they turned to the first page, everyone's pupils dilated instantly.
Thunder Spirit Dew? !
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and then a few of them suddenly stood up and asked towards the platform, "The Thunder Spirit Dew has long been extinct, how can it still be found now?"
This is what everyone wants to ask. Shui Yuyang smiled lightly and said, "Everyone, Lei Linglu was auctioned at the last minute. Please forgive me for not informing you."
