Evil Emperor Zun

64 Threat

Then he took a few more bottles of Master Yunxing's elixir, and the boy continued to raise the price tirelessly.

"Oh, it's really interesting. The famous young master Qi Lan actually did this kind of scandal of driving up prices and vicious competition here. If it gets to the ears of the respected teacher, will he still be proud of your 'filial piety'?" When the boy successfully sold another bottle of elixir at a high price, a playful sound transmission suddenly sounded in his mind.

"...Who! Who?!" The young man was startled and angry, looking around, especially looking back at Ye Shuo several times, but he still couldn't find the provocative person through sound transmission.

"Master Qi, if you want to know, just wait for me in the corridor outside the hall during the intermission of the auction. Before that, please don't look around. This will be good for you and me." Then The voice is still an unhurried sound transmission channel.

"Damn it..." The boy's hands hanging under the black robe slowly clenched into fists, his eyes were as cold as a knife.

For the rest of the auction, the young man was always on pins and needles, looking around the auction house from time to time, but he still couldn't find the suspicious person who transmitted the sound to him.

The auction ended in the morning, and it was time for the intermission.

Many people would take advantage of the intermission to go out for a stroll, or to buy some food and drinks, even the young boy in charge went out.Ye Shuo and Chu Tianyao had nowhere to go, so they stayed in their seats.The boy also walked out of the hall with the flow of people in twos and threes, but he didn't attract much attention.But before he got up to leave, he couldn't help but turned his head and gave Ye Shuo a hard look, Ye Shuo's expression was puzzled.

The boy came to the corridor, frowning and looking around, watching the people coming and going, thinking that everyone in the corridor looks alike, but they don't look alike.

Just when he was getting impatient, a pair of feet wearing deep canvas boots stopped in front of him at some point.

The boy frowned and looked at the man in black who was dressed exactly the same as himself for a while, seeing that he had no intention of leaving, he seemed to have finally confirmed the identity of the man.To be on the safe side, he still tried with a cold face: "Are you the one who sent me the sound transmission?"

The black-robed man nodded slightly, and said playfully, "Master Qi, don't be nervous, if I really want to harm you, I will save this news to a more useful place, instead of asking you to meet in private here. I took the liberty to invite you, I just want to make a small deal with you, please don't take offense."

The young man was silent for a while, and finally raised his hand to hold the cloak, and tore it off violently, revealing a delicate and stubborn face.This face is no stranger to most people in Dingtian City. It is the champion of the alchemist conference that just concluded not long ago, and also the personal disciple of the famous Master Yun Xing, Qi Lan!

"Since you already know my identity, please don't hide it and see me with your true face! If you say it's cooperation, first show your sincerity!"

The man in black was not moved, it seemed that Qi Lan's request had already been expected by him.Hearing this, he readily held up the hood and lifted it upwards. Under the shadow was a familiar stern face.

"My subordinate is Guo Yangyun from the Fentian sect. I pray that you will meet me, my young master."

"Ah Choo!" Guo Yangyun who was still sitting in the auction room suddenly sneezed loudly.

"Brother, what's the matter with you?" Jin Peng, who was sitting beside him, asked with concern.

"Cough, cough, I'm fine," Guo Yangyun rubbed his nose, "I probably caught a cold."

And in the corridor of the auction house, Qi Lan was frowning, looking at "Guo Yangyun" opposite: "Fentian sect? I have heard of you, it is said that it is a sect famous for playing tricks and tricks. It seems that the purpose of your sect is , it is really carried out vividly in Your Excellency!"

"Guo Yangyun" smiled faintly: "Praise, praise. As the saying goes, like attracts birds of a feather. If Young Master Qi is really upright, I won't be caught by me now, are you right?"

"Don't compare me to a despicable person like you!" Qi Lan snorted heavily, and then changed the topic: "I'm curious, why do you think I will agree to your deal? You said I was driving up the price at the auction. It's just a pity that you don't have any proof."

"Master Qi is trying to test me?" "Guo Yangyun" sneered, "You guessed right, I really don't have evidence, but this matter doesn't need evidence!"

Satisfied to see the smug smile on Qi Lan's lips gradually disappearing, he continued leisurely: "It is well known that someone has maliciously bid at the auction, and the name of Master Qi Lan is also well known. , when two well-known news are put together, no matter whether it is true or not, it will definitely attract people's attention.

It's just that for Master Yunxing, this doesn't seem to be a topic that he can feel comfortable with... And you also know that the commonality of human beings is that they are naturally more attracted to scandals. As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread Qianli, at that time, I can't guarantee how this matter will be spread among the heated discussions in the streets and alleys.If Young Master Qi is also interested, we might as well wait and see what happens..."

"Enough!" Apparently, Qi Lan also thought about the uncontrollable development that would result if he was left alone, and said two words with a dark face, before saying in a deep voice, "Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do."

"Well, it seems that Master Qi has figured it out. Wouldn't it be better to do this earlier?" "Guo Yangyun" teased a few more words with a playful smile, and then looked serious, saying: "Actually, my condition is very simple, and Master Qi must know it too. , the 'Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill' that will be auctioned at the auction—"

"I know. So what?" Qi Lan still looked unhappy.

"Guo Yangyun" smiled wider: "And my request... is absolutely not to let the kid sitting behind you bid for this Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill!"

"The kid sitting behind me..." Qi Lan pondered for a while, and drew an equal sign with a face in his impression that made him very uncomfortable, and disgust naturally appeared in his expression: "What do you want me to do?" Originally He thought that the other party would not hesitate to risk offending Qi's family by showing up and threatening him. What he asked for must be extremely difficult. He did not expect that he would make such a simple request. He was secretly relieved and couldn't help feeling a little Puzzled.

"Guo Yangyun" had a panoramic view of Qi Lan's expression changes, and smiled secretly: "You can handle this matter yourself. I don't care what method you use, as long as the kid returns empty-handed in the end. I want to pray, my friend There are so many paths, so it should be easy to control the ownership of an auction item, huh?"

"..." Qi Lan quickly calculated several feasible methods in her mind, and she had a rough idea in her heart.Nodding silently, when "Guo Yangyun" was overjoyed upon seeing this and was about to reach out to shake him, he didn't respond immediately, but said with a cold face: "I have another question. I'll do it for you, a few The results can be seen after hours, but how can I believe that you can also fulfill your promise, and you will not use this matter to create disputes in the future?"

"Guo Yangyun" squinted his eyes, and smiled maliciously: "I can't guarantee it. But you can only choose to believe now, can't you?"

"You!" Qi Lan slapped his hand away angrily, and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, you are cruel enough! Guo Yangyun, I remember you, once this matter is over, we will settle the matter and we will never owe each other again. , you'd better not bump into my hands in the future!"

"It's Guo's blessing to be remembered by Master Qi." "Guo Yangyun" still smiled with a good temper.

Qi Lan wandered in the corridor for a while before coming to the backstage of the auction room.

"Who is it?" The person in charge of the auction house was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, when he suddenly saw someone walking in without permission, he immediately sat up straight and scolded loudly.

"I..." Qi Lan flinched, and finally lifted her hood and walked in bravely: "I am Qi Lan. How are you, Master Shi?" Then came a bunch of greetings.

"Haha, it's Lan'er!" The person in charge of the auction house laughed, "Why are you standing at the door and not coming in? Are you also here to participate in the auction? I was talking about you with your master a few days ago. Come on Come in quickly." While talking, she vacated a chair for him.

"No need." Qi Lan didn't sit up, "My nephew just wants to trouble Shibo with something. Can I ask, which one is the auction of the Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill?"

"Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill?" The person in charge of the auction was stunned, "Why do you ask this?"

"Well... because master recently wanted to refine a bottle of fifth-grade elixir, and needed the Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill as a medicine guide, I came here to help master bid for the auction. But unfortunately, I just received a family summons, and I have some personal matters. I will deal with it.

...It's not a big deal, and it can be resolved soon.I just want to confirm the auction time of this item first, so as not to miss the opportunity. Qi Lan recited these words articulately. This was an excuse he had thought up on the way here, and he had thought it over several times, but when he really spoke, he was still sweating coldly from nervousness.

The person in charge of the auction house just asked casually, and then took out the record book to search, but he didn't notice what was wrong with Qi Lan.Qi Lan also smiled, and waited obediently at the side.

"I found it. Well, let me see, Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill... ranked fifth in the second half. There are no heavyweight auction items ahead, and they can be settled by just going through the motions. Calculated like this, It may only take an hour or two before it's time, is it too late? Shall I notify the auctioneer and delay the time?"

"Ah? No need, thank you Uncle Shi, that's enough." Qi Lan thanked her in a hurry, and wanted to leave in a hurry.

"How about this, let's bring the 'Tianxiang Devil's Bone Figure' that was originally scheduled to be in the penultimate place to the front! This is the highlight of this auction, and there will definitely be many people looting it. Less time." The person in charge of the auction house suddenly slapped his thigh and said happily as if he had thought of some good idea.

Although Qi Lan really wanted to end it as soon as possible, but after all, he was the first to make an excuse to say that he had something to do, and if he just made excuses to make people suspicious, he could only agree to it with a dry smile.

The auction was still going on unhurriedly. In the morning, only some items with lower prices were sold. After the intermission, the second half began.

Those that can be placed in the second half of the auction are all finale items.

"What's going to be auctioned next is the much-anticipated 'Tianxiang Devil's Bone Figure'!" The auctioneer introduced emotionally on the stage.

"Here we come! This is it!" Ruan Wei who was sitting in the back row lit up.
