C62 (1/2)
After expending a great deal of effort, he finally managed to awaken Lin Yu.
After waking Lin Yu up, Qin Shi pulled him to participate in the Ancient Wind Auction House.
The Gu Feng Auction House was located in the center of the ancient city, and its size was extremely large.
The annual Ancient Wind Auction had caused quite a stir in the ancient city. Thus, early in the morning, this place was already packed with people. The traffic was heavy, and all the large and small forces had come to hear of it.
”How spectacular...”
In the Wasteland Town, Qin Shi had never participated in an auction before. Looking at the spectacular scene before him, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Of course, Lin Yu only shrugged his shoulders and absent-mindedly said, ”Indeed. Although the scale is a bit small, for a lowly city like the ancient city, to have such a level of auction house is already quite good.”
”It hurts to stand and talk!”
However, just as the two walked in front of them, they were stopped by a young girl. The young lady was dressed in the attire of a host, and said respectfully: ”Are the two of you here to participate in our Ancient Wind Auction? Please show your membership cards, I'll arrange seats for you. ”
”Beauty?”
Seeing the young girl, Lin Yu was so excited that he wanted to pounce on her.
Qin Shixin had already expected this to happen, so she raised her hand in preparation. After sending Lin Yu off, she awkwardly said, ”Beautiful lady, I'm sorry. We don't have any membership cards.”
”Oh? No membership card? ”
Hearing this, the girl frowned as her eyes revealed a hint of disdain. Her tone turned cold as she said, ”If you aren't a member, if you want to participate in the auction, each person has to pay a hundred low-grade spirit stones!”
”A hundred low-grade spirit stones?”
The corners of Qin Shi's eyes twitched as he said furiously, ”You want a hundred times more spirit stones just to enter? I say, big sister, why don't you just snatch it away? ”
”Apologies, this is the rule of our Gu Feng Auction House. If you two can't produce 100 spirit stones, then you can only stay outside.” The young girl glanced at Qin Shi as if she was looking at a beggar.
Qin Shi felt extremely displeased with the disdain in the young girl's eyes.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and took out 200 spirit stones from his bosom. He thought to himself, ”Humph, this big city is really dark enough. If it wasn't for Sister Yu, I wouldn't even want to go into it even if I had to post it for myself.”
”I'll give you the spirit stones. Bring us in!”
Seeing the spirit stones, the young lady was taken aback. However, she did not waste her breath as she turned around and led the two into the auction house, ”Come with me, this is your number. I will arrange seats for the two of you.”
It had to be said that the auction house was shockingly large. It was enough to hold at least three thousand people. At the center of the auction house was an auction stage, and around it were ring-shaped seats, a total of fifty rows.
Qin Shi and Lin Yu were arranged to sit on the forty-fifth row.
With regards to this point, Qin Shi felt extremely dissatisfied. He looked at the several distinguished seats in front of him and cursed, ”Why? A hundred spirit stones is only enough for this young master to sit in the back? At least let this young master sit in the top three rows, right? ”
”Chi chi, the first three rows?”
However, at this time, an old man with disheveled hair and a dirty face, who was beside Qin Shi and Lin Yu, rolled his eyes and coldly laughed, ”Little fellow, don't be arrogant! The first three rows are not something you can sit on. The people who are sitting there are all reputable big shots of the ancient city! ”
”Hey geezer, who are you? ”Your act is quite clear.” Qin Shi glanced at it and shrugged, ”In the end, isn't he also sitting at the 40th row like us?”
”...”
The old man's face turned green as he coughed dryly, ”That is because I do not wish to sit!”
”Bullshit, who wouldn't know how to?” This young master was even willing to sit down! ” Qin Shi didn't think much of this strange old man. He joked in an uninhibited manner, ”Old man, if you can sit in the front three rows, do you believe that I can sit on the stage?”
However, at this moment, Lin Yu narrowed his eyes in a rather serious manner.
He sized up the old man and pulled Qin Shi down with all his might. ”Shitou, this old man is not simple. I can't even see through his strength. Be careful.”
”Eh, good talent!” When he saw Lin Yu, the old man suddenly licked his chapped lips and thought to himself, ”This child is extraordinary. He has the strength of a Spirit Sealing Stage at such a young age. Furthermore, his temperament is extremely calm. If …”
Unexpectedly, before the old man could finish speaking, the auction had already begun.
At the beginning, a beautiful lady walked up to the stage. This woman was dressed simply, but her entire body revealed a noble aura. She wore a red, close-fitting cheongsam that accentuated her curves.
This woman was a genuine beauty of Jiangnan. She had willow shaped eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, cherry lips, and a oval face. She possessed a beauty that could topple cities and topple nations.
It caused everyone's hearts to tremble.
Towards the infatuated Lin Yu, how could he possibly have any ability to resist a goddess like this? He tossed the old man to the back of his mind, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. ”Exquisite!”
”...”
The old man had originally been praising Lin Yu for his calm character, but in the end, Lin Yu had been smacking his face and showing such a smug look. The corners of the old man's eyes twitched a few times. ”Could … could it be that this old man was mistaken?”
”Look, it's Tan Xuehui, the number one beauty of the ancient city.”
”To think that she would be hosting this year's Ancient Wind Auction.”
”Isn't it so? We're really lucky this time.”
