Ninth Demon Lord

Chapter 123 That Man Is a Thief
Five days later, three inner pills of level [-] monsters came to Peng's auction house.

Feng Ting followed Hu Gaoxuan and Bai Shuo to the auction house again.To their surprise, they didn't see Xiang Wenda, the thirteenth master of the Xiang family.

There are a total of eight lots to be auctioned tonight, including two of Feng Ting's top-grade elixir.The most precious ones are of course the inner alchemy of the two fourth-level monsters.

When the auction started, nothing surprising happened to the first few lots.

When they arrived at the two extremely high-grade mysterious pills, both Bai Shuo and Hu Gaoxuan looked at Feng Ting at the same time.

With Xiang Wenda not around, I don't know if Feng Ting will repeat the old trick.

A few days ago, the final transaction price of those two top-grade Xuandans was 21 taels of amethyst. I don't know what the price will be today.

When the auction started, Feng Ting was very quiet.

After a while, the price reached [-], which is actually a good price.

There were no bids left. Feng Ting was about to bid when he suddenly saw two people walking into the auction hall.

Walking in front was a middle-aged man of medium build, with an ordinary appearance and a serious expression, exuding a superior aura, he looked like a strong man.

The person following behind was a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, and it was Xiang Wenda, the thirteenth master of the Xiang family.

Xiang Wenda walked behind this person, although his expression was calm, but there was obvious humility in his eyes.

It is conceivable that the thirteenth master of the Xiang family is so humble.

"Eighty-five thousand taels."

Xiang Wenda bid loudly while walking.

He glanced at Feng Ting intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was just looking casually, but Feng Ting knew that he must be looking at himself.

Both Hu Gaoxuan's and Bai Shuo's expressions changed slightly, especially Bai Shuo, like a child who discovered a dangerous game, his eyes were full of anticipation, but also implied worry.

"9 million taels."

Feng Ting made a random price.

"Ninety-five thousand taels."

Xiang Wenda and the middle-aged man had already sat down.

Feng Ting didn't counter-offer immediately, but asked Hu Gaoxuan in a low voice through sound transmission: "Who is this person who came with Xiang Wenda?"

"I don't know." Hu Gaoxuan shook his head slightly.

"Could it be someone important in Tianshu City?" Feng Ting continued to ask.

Of course, Hu Gaoxuan also noticed Xiang Wenda's humble gaze, he shook his head slightly: "In Tianshu City, I have seen almost all the people who can make Lord Xiang Shisan so humble."

When Feng Ting heard this, his expression froze slightly.

Seeing that Feng Ting did not bid, Bai Shuo next to him said in a low voice, "Master Feng, if you don't bid, the thing will be auctioned off."

"No more shots." Feng Ting simply said three words.

Bai Shuo was extremely surprised. He had just made an offer, so why didn't he bid? This is not Feng Ting's style!
Seeing the auctioneer announcing that Xiang Wenda had bought the two top-grade elixir for 5000 taels, Bai Shuo's face showed regret.

Not only because he didn't see a good show, but also because Feng Ting lost at least 10 taels of amethyst.

Then, the last lot began to bid.

Monster beasts are powerful, it is not easy to obtain inner alchemy, and inner alchemy has many uses.Therefore, inner alchemy has always been an extremely precious item, and the price is naturally extremely expensive, and it is also the first choice for gifts and collections.

In a short while, the price reached 25.

In fact, this price has already exceeded the real price of the two inner pills, and the last bidder was Xiang Wenda again.

Seeing that Feng Ting hadn't bid all this time, Bai Shuo was very surprised.He asked in a low voice: "Master Feng, you don't plan to take these two inner pills?"

"No more." Feng Ting replied casually.

Bai Shuo was surprised, and Hu Gaoxuan was also surprised.

Why did Feng Ting suddenly keep a low profile?
Soon, the auction is over.

Xiang Wenda won two inner pills for 25 taels. After he succeeded, he casually glanced at Feng Ting again.

Feng Ting pretended not to see it, got up and left.

Hu Gaoxuan and Bai Shuo also got up immediately, and followed Feng Ting out of the auction hall.

The three went straight downstairs and walked out of the auction house.

When they arrived at the crowded street, Feng Ting was not in a hurry to leave, Hu Gaoxuan and Bai Shuo naturally wanted to accompany him.

Feng Ting casually walked into a restaurant opposite the auction site, followed by Hu Gaoxuan and Bai Shuo, the three of them went upstairs, chose a private room near the street, and ordered food and drinks.

Both Hu Gaoxuan and Bai Shuo felt that Feng Ting was too weird today, and the weirdness started when Xiang Wenda appeared.

Bai Shuo felt that Feng Ting might think it was not good to fight against the Xiang family, so he chose to keep a low profile.

But Hu Gaoxuan didn't think so, Feng Ting's performance today must have deep meaning.

At this moment, the three of them saw Xiang Wenda walking out of the auction house with the middle-aged man.

The two didn't get in the car, but walked into another very large auction house.

The food and wine were served, Feng Ting casually ate and looked outside.

Hu Gaoxuan and Bai Shuo also followed Feng Ting's gaze and looked at the auction house.

About half an hour later, Xiang Wenda accompanied the middle-aged man out of the auction house.They still had no intention of leaving, but went to another Danfang.

Bai Shuo said in a low voice: "This alchemy workshop is owned by the City Lord's Mansion, and it is the largest alchemy workshop in Tianshu City. It seems that Xiang Wenda is taking this person to find a better treasure."

After hearing Bai Shuo's words, Feng Ting's heart was shocked, and he turned to look at Hu Gaoxuan.

When Hu Gaoxuan saw Feng Ting's profound gaze, he suddenly thought of something, and his expression froze instantly.

Looking at the expressions of these two, Bai Shuo felt very baffled.

Hu Gaoxuan's frozen expression suddenly came down, and he said to Bai Shuo, "Bai Shuo, go to the car and wait for us."

"Yes."

Bai Shuo understood that it was Hu Gaoxuan who had something to say to Feng Ting, so he got up and left.

Hu Gaoxuan walked to the door of the private room, opened the door and looked out.

After closing the door, he sensed the surrounding situation again, and then said to Feng Ting through sound transmission: "The person Xiang Wenda is accompanying may be from Chifu?"

"Aside from people from the Chifu, who else can make him so humble?" Feng Ting said.

"They are looking for something. Could it be that that thing really belongs to Chifu?" Hu Gaoxuan's expression was very serious.

"It should be." Feng Ting nodded slightly.

From this sentence, he heard that Heizhou City suspected that what the man was looking for was not from Chifu, but he knew that the inner alchemy belonged to Chifu.

Feng Ting continued: "This person is obviously more aboveboard than my uncle's friend."

Hu Gaoxuan's expression became more serious: "This should be the Chifu's behavior style."

"Uncle's friend didn't dare to look for that thing himself, but asked uncle to look for it. I think he didn't want Chifu to know that he was looking for that thing." Feng Ting said silently.

This is the speculation that Hu Gaoxuan least wants to hear, and it is also the thing he is most afraid of.

He frowned: "Does he want to take that thing for himself?"

Feng Ting was silent for a while, and said: "This is not the most terrifying."

"Isn't this the scariest?" Hu Gaoxuan looked at Feng Ting in surprise.

Feng Ting said solemnly: "Facts have proved that the item was indeed obtained by the Rogue Zong, and that person obviously knew that the item was in the East China Sea. The person from Chifu we saw today obviously didn't know where the item was."

Hu Gaoxuan's expression instantly fell into an ice cave.

Feng Ting didn't want to continue making detours, and said directly: "I guess that uncle's friend stole the East XZ of Chifu and put it in the remote East China Sea. He was accidentally acquired by the Rogue Zong. He didn't dare to show up to look for it in person, so he entrusted Uncle will go find it."

"If this matter is known to the Chifu, not only will that person be punished by the Chifu, but Heizhou City will also be implicated." Hu Gaoxuan's eyes showed fear.

Feng Ting looked at Hu Gaoxuan, and said solemnly: "It's really nothing to be implicated."

Hu Gaoxuan froze physically and mentally, he understood the meaning of Feng Ting's words.

Feng Ting said helplessly: "Uncle's friend who can steal things from the Chifu must be a person of high status in the Chifu. But it must not be someone who holds great power in the Chifu. If the matter is revealed, that person It is tantamount to embarrassing the Chifu. If I am in power in the Chifu, I will kill him if I find out the truth."

The more Hu Gaoxuan listened, the more frightened he became: "In order to avoid the matter from being exposed, this person will cut off all possible clues to trace him. Naturally, Heizhou City will bear the brunt."

"Ah."

Feng Ting didn't want to tell Hu Gaoxuan this cruel reality, but he also knew that he had to say it.

Hu Gaoxuan got up immediately: "I'll go back to Heizhou City and tell my father."

Feng Ting shook his head and said, "It doesn't help if you go back or not. You send someone back and tell Uncle to leave Heizhou City for a while, that's all."

Hu Gaoxuan shook his head immediately: "No, I must tell my father the ins and outs of the matter."

Feng Ting said solemnly: "Now that the Tianshu Conference is about to be held, if you leave, more people will be surprised, and it will make them feel that you know a lot. Even if he didn't want to silence it before, he will not hesitate now. You will also make Uncle more dangerous, and you will also surely die."

Feng Ting paused for a while, and continued: "There are already people from Chifu, and if you leave at this time, maybe they will think too much. In front of Chifu and that person, it is safest to act like you don't know anything. way of doing."

When Hu Gaoxuan heard this, he looked at Feng Ting in surprise: "Are you afraid that Chifu might suspect that that thing is in Heizhou City?"

Feng Ting looked at Hu Gaoxuan and said: "Now that the Chifu sent people to look for it, in their eyes, everything that is abnormal is questionable."

Hearing Feng Ting's words, Hu Gaoxuan's heart became even more confused.He just thought that the incident in Heizhou City was at best a muddy foot.It is only now that I realize that I have completely fallen into the quagmire.

Feng Ting said solemnly: "It's not too late, send someone back and tell Uncle to leave Heizhou City as soon as possible."

"And then?" Hu Gaoxuan asked.

"Then we can only wait." Feng Ting said.

"But how does this matter settle down?"

Feng Ting frowned slightly, and said, "It depends on God's will."

Hu Gaoxuan's rough face showed deep fear, he was really confused, he really didn't know what to do.

Looking at Hu Gaoxuan, Feng Ting inevitably felt a little guilty in his heart.

Because what he told Hu Gaoxuan was actually the best result.The worst outcome is likely to be happening, or has already happened.
