Mortal Bones

The reason why Xu Taiping was so surprised was not because of Mr. Cao's gender, but because of the completely different aura about her body at this moment.

There is a big difference in aura between a man and a woman, and with Xu Taiping's current soul power, it is very easy to sense it.

But after spending at least half an hour with Mr. Cao, he didn't notice anything about it. This meant that Mr. Cao either had a much higher level of cultivation than him, or he had a very high-grade fairy treasure on him.

No matter from any point of view, this Mr. Cao is no ordinary person.

"Mr. Cao, those stones are just my luck. The next sale cannot be based on luck alone. You'd better not buy them with me."

Xu Taiping withdrew his gaze from Mr. Cao.

Right now, the most important thing for him was to get the Trapped Dragon Tower and how to deal with the Qi family's interception after getting the Trapped Dragon Tower.

"Brother Taiping, Mr. Cao is my pseudonym. My name is Chu Xiaoxiao. You can also call me Xiaoxiao."

The girl smiled at Xu Taiping.

"Yes, Miss Xiaoxiao."

Xu Taiping nodded.

His attention was now focused on the pawn sale in front of him and Qi Yu and the others not far away. He really didn't have much energy to pay attention to the very curious little girl next to him.

However, the Chongde monk on the side raised his eyebrows after hearing the girl's words, and then sent a message to Xu Taiping on the side:

"Master Heavenly Protector, this girl named Chu Xiaoxiao, if the young monk remembers correctly, should be the daughter of the current Holy Emperor's Third Emperor's Uncle."

Xu Taiping was also slightly surprised when he heard what Monk Chongde said.

"How is your character?"

Xu Taiping sent a message to Monk Chongde and asked.

Who Chu Xiaoxiao is is not important to him. He only cares about whether this Chu Xiaoxiao will be the change in his calamity.

"Princess Xiaoxiao's character is good among the princes and princesses. But she has a weird hobby, that is, she likes to collect some messy antiquities. At the worst, the huge palace is full of them. She bought junk items from everywhere. There was also a period of time when she was addicted to gambling and went in and out of major gambling houses every day. However, her gambling luck was extremely bad. It is said that when her gambling addiction was at its peak, she lost most of the palace. In the end, His Majesty stepped in to help pay off the gambling debt."

Monk Chongde explained to Xu Taiping with great interest.

He came to the capital of Nanchu on the orders of the abbot of Prajna Temple. The first thing he did was to teach the Dharma, and the second thing was to collect information about all the forces in the capital, that's why he was so clear.

After Xu Taiping heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Chu Xiaoxiao.

It was hard for him to imagine that this beautiful and well-spoken little girl not only had a habit of picking up garbage, but she was also a gambler who almost lost the palace.

At this moment, Chu Xiaoxiao happened to peek at Xu Taiping with her big eyes blinking, as if she was hesitant to speak, as if she wanted to say something to Xu Taiping.

"Brother Taiping..."

"Miss, why are you here?"

Just when Chu Xiaoxiao mustered up the courage to speak, the maid Xiaoqing suddenly came to the table where the two of them were sitting.

"We have to go back home, miss!"

The maid Qing'er glanced at Xu Taiping who was standing aside, then leaned into Chu Xiaoxiao's ear and whispered.

"Qing'er, I have a hunch that as long as you follow this Mr. Taiping, you will definitely be able to buy something good today!"

Chu Xiaoxiao said to Qing'er in a somewhat excited tone.

"Miss, you have bought enough useless things in the house. If you continue to buy them like this, I will scold you again."

Qing'er looked helpless.

"Qing'er, this time is different. My master has said that I will meet a noble man this year. This Prince Taiping must be my noble man. He just made me earn three thousand gold coins in one go!"

Chu Xiaoxiao has made up her mind.

Although the two people spoke in low voices, how could they escape Xu Taiping's ears?

Listening to the words that sounded like those of a gambler, Xu Taiping finally understood why this girl Xiaoxiao was clinging to him.

"Your Highness Xiaoxiao, your vision is quite good this time."

Monk Chongde and Yourong Yandi spread the message to Xu Taipingdao.

Xu Taiping's face was calm, but in his heart, he silently added Chu Xiaoxiao to the variables of this calamity.

"Master Taiping, how about we join forces when the treasure is bid for later?"

Chu Xiaoxiao finally mustered up the courage to propose to Xu Taiping.

"There is no need to join forces this time. If you can trust me, Miss Xiaoxiao, I can give you some advice when bidding."

Xu Taiping glanced at Qi Yu who was not far away, and then said to Chu Xiaoxiao.

In the scene deduced by his left eye, in order to compete for the Panlong Tower, he and Qi Yu kept raising each other's prices, and finally almost exhausted all the gold and essence on him.

"I remember that in addition to the Trapped Dragon Tower, Qi Yu and the others also bought several expensive treasures. There were not many people competing with them at that time, so it should not have reached their minimum price."

"The total amount of gold essence money they brought this time should be around 60,000. If they can spend as much of the gold essence money they have on the first few treasures as possible, they can finally produce it when they take the trapped dragon tower. The less money I have, the less money I will spend in the end.”

Xu Taiping thought in his mind.

Although he is determined to win the Trapped Dragon Tower, gold and fine money are also very important to him, and if there is some left, it is better.

"Then there is Mr. Lao Taiping."

Although Xu Taiping did not agree to join forces, which made Chu Xiaoxiao feel a little disappointed, she was still very happy to get the advice.

"The first item for sale in Shiyi Zhai is the Heavenly Golden Talisman!"

At this moment, the shopkeeper in charge of pawning in Shiyi Zhai suddenly announced to the audience.

As he spoke, a shop assistant of Shiyi Zhai walked up to the shopkeeper with a jade box in his hands.

The shopkeeper opened the jade box directly.

"Boom!"

The fluctuations of the breath accumulated in the jade box spread out in an instant, stirring up gusts of strong wind in the hall.
