C140 (1/2)
At sunset, Liu Yunqi and his group arrived in front of a magnificent building.
In front of them was a huge arch with a huge golden horizon scale mounted above it. This was a building the size of two football fields, the entire building was made of pitch black stone bricks, it was square, the top of the building was a dozen meters tall, and the top of the building was made of red bricks, forming many diamond-shaped cones. The whole building was like a giant obelisk standing on the ground, the grandeur of this building couldn't even be compared to the City Lord's Mansion.
Standing in front of the gate, Liu Yunqi looked up, and realized that it was difficult for him to see the top of the tower.
Liu Yunqi could not help but exclaim in admiration, ”To build a house this high, you're not afraid of an earthquake collapsing? I wonder if there are any shockproof mechanisms here ~”
Fina was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, ”Why do you have so many weird thoughts? If the boss of the auction center was here, he would definitely be angered to death by you.”
”Hmph, even if the boss of the auction house is here, I won't be able to delay it. Why do you think the boss built this house for?” To make money, of course? Since it was to earn money, then he must ensure the safety of the customers that passed by. ”If his house can't even guarantee the safety of the customers and is just for show, then he might as well just collapse his building.” Liu Yunqi said.
Hearing Liu Yunqi's unique insight, Fina's eyes flashed with a strange light. Just as he was about to say something to Liu Yunqi, an aged voice suddenly sounded out from behind them, ”This little brother has found it special! ”You're right. If we can't even guarantee the safety of our customers, then it's best that this house will fall.”
Turning his head to look, under the cover of over a dozen Devil Clan s, a vigorous white-haired old man walked out of the crowd with steady steps. As the old man moved forward, the Devil Clan that was in front of him all involuntarily retreated to one side.
The old man's methods caused Fina's pupils to constrict for a moment. She raised her hand to signal to the crowd, and together with Liu Yunqi, greeted him with respect, ”I, your brother's nonsense has let this senior down.”
The old man waved his hand and said, ”No, no, no, how is this nonsense? It's so sharp with every word.”
After pausing for a moment, he looked towards Liu Yunqi, who was beside Fina. He stroked the goatee under his chin and praised, ”I didn't think that little brother would have such insights at such a young age.
Hearing the elder's praise, Liu Yunqi's heart skipped a beat, ”Damn it! Just a moment ago, I was too surprised at this building. After saying so many useless words, it can't be that my secret is about to be exposed, right?! ”
Thinking about that, Liu Yunqi looked towards Fina again. Her expression did not change at all as usual, and when she sensed that Liu Yunqi was looking at her, she smiled faintly.
This reaction caused Liu Yunqi to immediately be puzzled: ”Could it be that she didn't hear anything amiss?!”
The confused Liu Yunqi scratched his head and said embarrassedly: ”Elder sister is right, I am just spouting nonsense, I can't take it to be true.”
After saying that, she carefully looked at Fina, and seeing that her expression did not change, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
”Every word spoken by the world is spoken with emotion. Even if it's just nonsense, it's your true thoughts. Little brother, I see that you have an amazing bone. May I know which sect you are from? ” The old man said.
Liu Yunqi looked at Fina, who was at the side, and did not know how to answer. Fina then continued, ”This little brother does not have any sects, and is entirely reliant on the guidance of the clan's elders.”
The old man looked at Fina, and his eyes flashed with a strange light: ”Oh? For a young lady to possess such strength at such a young age, your clan's elders must not be some nameless person, right? I wonder if I can tell you a thing or two? ”
”Junior's surname is Chen. The elders of the clan live in seclusion all year round and rarely travel the continent, so those who know them are very few in number.” Fina said.
The old man felt a bit regretful, ”It's such a pity that I didn't recognize such a powerful expert.”
Pausing for a moment, the elder continued, ”The two of you have been wandering around here for quite some time. I presume you two have something you want. There are some good items here today, how about we go in and take a look?”
