pet cultivator

Chapter 83 Visitors from the Imperial Capital
"11 million!"

Before everyone present came back to their senses, the cold voice of the man in the iron mask sounded again.

Zhou Yixuan frowned, and without turning his head, he instructed the maid beside him, "Go and find out the details of this masked man." The maid hurriedly bowed and nodded, and left the box.

Li Jin on the side was obviously not in a good mood either.When he saw the seal on the roll of parchment, he knew he had to get it.

When he bought the parchment at a price of [-], he secretly rejoiced in his heart that his luck was really good today.But who would have thought that Chen Yaojin would come out on the way and want to snatch this thing at a high price.

What made Li Jin feel inappropriate the most was that the man in the iron mask also knew this thing?
He considered that the final transaction price of his soul orb should be around 3 gold coins, plus the remaining [-] gold coins on his body, Li Jin gritted his teeth and went all out!
"13!" In the eighth box, the vicissitudes of life continued to bid.

From 13 asking price to [-], and hearing this quotation again, many people can tell that this should be the limit of this person's quotation.But the man in the iron mask just snorted coldly, and continued to bid: "[-] gold coins. And, from now on, I will add [-] to the other party's bid every time!"

Everyone was in an uproar, this is the rhythm of fighting to the end regardless of the cost.Those nurses who were arranged by the auction house to hide among the guests also smiled wryly in their hearts.It's a pity that this parchment is not their Tai Yu Hang's lot, otherwise they would definitely make the price of this roll of parchment sky-high.

"Second young master." The maid hurried back to the box where Li Jin and the three were, "According to the memory of the welcome at the door, the man in the iron mask came just before the auction started, and he didn't know who he was. There is no such person."

Zhou Yixuan pondered for a while, his eyes became a little serious: "You go to Box No. 20 first, and tell the distinguished guests inside that Tai Yuhang is willing to lend him 50, no, [-] gold coins. As long as he agrees, from now on he will If you have something to auction, just ask my Zhou family's auction house for help. We won't charge a copper coin for the handling fee. In addition, we sent people to keep an eye on this man in the iron mask and found out his residence. It is useful for me to contact people and all other materials.”

"Yes, Second Young Master." The maid hurriedly agreed and left in a hurry.

Hearing what Zhou Yixuan said from the side, Li Jin thought to himself that the Zhou family seemed to be planning to try their best to get on line with his "Master Li", and he was convinced for a while.However, he would not use Master Li's name to really owe the Zhou family such a huge sum of money on credit, and he had secretly planned in his heart that it would be harmless to sell two soul orbs to the Zhou family at worst.

Soon, Zhou Yixuan's maid knocked on the door of Box No. [-].Everyone in the auction hall waited for a while, but did not hear anyone responding upstairs. They thought that the battle had finally been settled, but suddenly they heard a voice clearing their throats from the direction of Box [-].Everyone looked up, not knowing how the honored guest upstairs would deal with the situation in front of him.

Just when Master Li, that is, Li Jin was about to continue to increase the price, and completely confronted the man in the iron mask, the middle-aged man who took out the parchment shook his head and said loudly: "You two don't need to argue anymore! When I bid [-] gold coins to bid for the soul pet egg, it was equivalent to having approved the offer of [-] gold coins from the old gentleman upstairs to buy my roll of parchment. Therefore, I still insist on paying [-] gold coins sell the parchment to the old gentleman upstairs."

There was a commotion in the hall of the auction house, and there were whispers again. Some praised the middle-aged man for keeping his promises, some ridiculed him for being too honest and refused the gold coins sent to him, and some felt sorry for him. Wouldn't it be great if it was put up for auction earlier?For a while, the auction hall was very lively.

When the man in the iron mask heard this, although he couldn't see his expression, the air around him seemed to have become gloomy and cold, making the other guests around him silent for a moment.It wasn't until he snorted heavily and sat down that the atmosphere in the auction hall returned to its original state.

Meier almost failed to control the situation at the scene, and now she seized the opportunity, quickly and coquettishly smiled to focus everyone's attention back, made a few jokes with the guests to warm up the place again, and then started the rest of the auction.

Tang Shirong sat slumped on his seat, only to realize that his back was already wet with sweat.Just now he clearly saw that the man in the iron mask stared at him coldly, as if a giant python was about to swallow him up. In an instant, he felt that his whole body lost all strength, and he didn't get better until the other party restrained himself.

However, he insisted on selling the roll of parchment to the honored guest upstairs at the price of [-] gold coins, not because he was high-spirited and honest, but because he had other thoughts.

In his opinion, a distinguished guest who can sit in the upstairs box is naturally much bigger than the man in the iron mask who sits in the hall.Although in the past, he would have been able to sit upstairs, but now he needs to meet more people like this, the more the better.

And whether the man in the iron mask can pay him so many gold coins is still a matter of debate. If he doesn't pay for his own parchment in the end, how can he take away the soul pet egg?

Of course he didn't know that after the person upstairs opened his mouth, the auction house asked the staff to quietly put away the parchment on the grounds of being an intermediary to supervise all transactions in the auction house, and he never thought of handing it over to the auction house. To anyone but the guy upstairs.

"This gentleman." An etiquette lady softly called Tang Shirong's thoughts back, "The honored guests in Box No. [-] upstairs are welcome, and I hope you can go upstairs to the box."

coming!Wasn't it just for this moment that I watched so many gold coins fly away from my eyes?Tang Shirong's eyes lit up, he got up immediately as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and followed the hostess lady upstairs.

Miss etiquette brought Tang Shirong to the door of the box and knocked gently on the door.The maid inside opened the door of the box and found that Tang Shirong had arrived, so she stepped aside: "Mr. is here, please come in."

Tang Shirong walked into the box and found that besides the maid, there was only one figure sitting there with his back facing him, continuing to watch the auction in the hall below.The figure was wearing a dark purple cloak, and from this alone, it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.Of course, he knew that this person was the one who wanted to see him. Tang Shirong, who had heard his voice before, of course knew that the other party should be an old man.

"You're here, come and sit." The vicissitudes of life sounded, and Tang Shirong immediately walked over and sat down opposite the old man in the cloak.With the help of the light, Tang Shirong didn't even see the other person's face hidden under the cloak.And the old man's left hand was playing with something at this time, which was the roll of parchment that Tang Shirong took out not long ago.

"I don't know if the old man asked me to come here, what advice do you have?" Tang Shirong asked, clasping his hands.Although the other party didn't even have spiritual fluctuations, Tang Shirong could always feel a sense of time in the other party, which made him dare not underestimate it.

"This thing is quite old, but its sealing sealer has the imprint of the Hanyun Empire's royal family sealing the highest level of secrets." Master Li, the puppet, continued to play with the parchment, pushed the maid back, and closed the hall. After only the two of them were left in the box, he said playfully, "How did you get this thing?"

Tang Shirong trembled when he heard the words, and almost shrank from the soft chair. He was shocked and said: "How did the old man recognize this mark?"

Naturally, after guessing that there was something wrong with the Xu family, Brother Yu and Brother went to look up the relevant information, Li Jin replied in his heart.But Master Li didn't show anything on the surface: "The old man is asking you where this thing came from."

Tang Shirong stood up with a flustered look on his face, and hurriedly said: "I have no obligation to tell you the origin of this thing. The old man only needs to know that it belongs to you from now on. If the old man has nothing else to do, I will leave first." After speaking, he walked towards the door of the box.

"I'm curious, does the man in the iron mask downstairs want to chat with you like I do? Also, does the Imperial City also want to know about you?" Master Li came from under the dark purple cloak. Playful words.Tang Shirong was taken aback when he heard the words, stopped and stood there, a little at a loss.

"Although you are not a pet master, but at your age, you will not contract soul pets again. Then why do you insist on bidding for that soul pet egg?" Master Li deliberately made a thinking posture, and said , "You are not from Dan Jincheng, otherwise almost everyone in the hall would not have ridiculed you just now, and they probably don't know you."

Tang Shirong stood there, his back wet with cold sweat again.

"Don't stand there stupidly, come back and sit down. If the old man tells the Zhou family that I don't want you to leave, or if the old man directly says that your parchment is fake and is deliberately used to deceive the old man, you should go if you want to come No way." Master Li continued to speak calmly, "Besides, the man in the iron mask was slapped so much by you just now, if you just leave like this, I'm afraid that both you and the person you want to protect will be in danger."

"What kind of person do you want to protect! I don't know what you're talking about." Tang Shirong, who had just returned to sit opposite Master Li, immediately jumped up from the soft chair as if his buttocks had been pricked by needles.

"You don't want to say anything, and you ask for others. How can there be such a good thing in the world? What do you say, a friend from the imperial capital?" Master Li shook his head slowly.

"The old man knows that I have something to ask? He also knows that I come from—" Tang Shirong was shocked when someone saw through his mind, and then his body softened again. You can't see my clumsy tricks, but I'm ashamed."

Yes, Li Jin asked Tang Shirong to come to the box at first, just because he was curious about the origin of the parchment and thanked him by the way.In his opinion, since the other party is so virtuous and honest, and treats more than [-] gold coins like dirt, he may not come to his invitation.If so, Li Jin would just ask someone to remind the other party, beware of revenge from the iron-masked man.

But Li Jin saw that when Tang Shirong learned that he wanted to see him, he didn't even think about it. He immediately got up and followed Miss Manners upstairs, with a hint of veiled joy on his face.Li Jin thought about it for a while and then realized that the more than [-] gold coins he had saved were not cheap.

Thinking of this, Li Jin, who was still sitting in the No. [-] box, couldn't help showing a hint of playfulness on the corner of his mouth.
