A grand occasion
Outside the Purple Cloud Auction House, there was an endless stream of people and carriages.
Numerous luxurious beast carriages converged from all directions. Many of the leaders of the aristocratic families, as well as some of the young masters and young ladies of the aristocratic families, were also attracted by this grand event.
Luo Zheng did not wear a mask. He wore a snow-white robe and slowly walked into the square of the Purple Cloud Auction House.
At this moment, the people participating in the auction had already entered the venue.
There were two entrances. One was for ordinary people, which led directly to the auction hall.
The other passageway could only be used by VIPs. They could enter the VIP seats. Every VIP seat was an independent space with an independent number.
When participating in the auction, only the number of the VIP seats would be displayed. Unless one was an internal member of the auction house, there was no way to know who had participated in the auction.
However, it was not so easy to enter the VIP seats. Normally, one would only need to spend some money to do so, but today was different. The VIP seats were limited, and there were too many aristocratic families present. The demand could not meet the demand.
Therefore, if one wanted to enter the VIP seats, they had to verify their identity. At the very least, one had to be a member of a first-rate aristocratic family before they could enter.
"How troublesome."
Luo Zheng stopped in front of the VIP passage and frowned.
If he couldn't enter the VIP seats, then he could only participate in the auction of the Blazing Scorpion's fire source in the great hall. Under the watchful eyes of so many people, a powerless youth like him would definitely attract attention. It would be strange if he didn't attract trouble at that time.
Boom! Boom!
A golden carriage pulled by a double-horned earth rhinoceros stopped in front of the passageway, and an imposing young man got off the carriage.
"This is the golden chariot of the Li family's patriarch, Li Zhenghai. This young man should be the young patriarch, Li Puyue!"
"Get out of the way! The Li Clan's destiny is flourishing. This Li Puyue passed the Five Saints Army's examination last year and joined it. He's the Son of Heaven's disciple. If you offend him, you'll be in big trouble!"
When some people saw the Double-Horned Earthen Rhino Golden Carriage, they immediately recognized the young man's identity and retreated far away.
The Li Family was ranked in the middle among the first-rate families of the Hundred Battles Dynasty. Their strength was not particularly strong, but in recent years, the Li Family had been prosperous, and many martial arts geniuses had emerged one after another.
Li Puyue was one of them. At the age of eighteen, he was already at the peak of the Marrow Changing Realm. He had a high chance of entering the Viscera Refining Realm.
He was dressed in brocade robes and wore a jade crown. His eyes were filled with arrogance. When he saw that everyone was looking at him, a smug smile appeared on his face. Clearly, he enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.
"Idiot, scram!"
Then, Li Puyue looked around and saw Luo Zheng standing in front of the passageway with a pensive look on his face. Li Puyue was greatly displeased and shouted coldly.
Luo Zheng was stunned for a moment before he realized that many people were looking at him. Obviously, this' kid 'was talking about him.
"I dare you to say that again."
Luo Zheng turned his head and looked at Li Puyue with cold eyes.
"So what if I say it again?"
Li Puyue's eyes turned cold as he stared at Luo Zheng and snapped.
"Who is this young man? Judging from his attire, he doesn't look like a member of an aristocratic family. How dare he offend Li Puyue? "
At this moment, the outside of the Purple Cloud Auction House was very lively. There were three layers of people surrounding the auction house, waiting to see Luo Zheng make a fool of himself.
Li Puyue had always relied on his family background and superior strength to do whatever he wanted. It would be fine if they were members of aristocratic families, but ordinary people who offended him would end up in a miserable state.
"Look, that's the Ancient Family's Coiling Dragon Boat."
"The Mu Family is also here to participate in the auction!"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed. A ninety-foot long flying boat flew down from the sky. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived above the Purple Cloud Auction House and slowly descended.
A middle-aged man in sackcloth with an extraordinary bearing and a beautiful girl walked down from the flying boat.
"It's the Mu Family's Third Elder, Mu Xingqi, and Miss Mu Lan!"
"Miss Mu Lan is the Mu Family's genius and an elite expert in the Young Phoenix Camp. I heard that she suddenly reached the Viscera Refining Realm half a month ago."
"What? This Mu Lan is only fifteen years old, right? She suddenly reached the Marrow Transformation Realm. This is a true genius. She's many times stronger than Li Puyue. "
Many people's gazes were fixed on Mu Lan, revealing looks of admiration.
The Mu Family was an ancient clan with tens of thousands of years of heritage. Its foundation was immeasurable. Mu Lan was the Mu Family's genius. Among the young talents in the Hundred Battles Dynasty, there were only a few who were worthy of her. Most people did not dare to have any thoughts about her and could only admire her.
Mu Xingqi reached out and grabbed the flying boat. In an instant, it shrunk to the size of an egg and fell into his hand. "Lan 'er, I'll go in."
"Yes." Mu Lan nodded slightly and followed her father to the auction house's entrance.
"Hmph, consider yourself lucky. I'll let you go this time. Get lost!"
When Li Puyue saw the father and daughter of the Mu Family walking over, he stopped causing trouble and glared fiercely at Luo Zheng.
"Mu Lan actually reached the Marrow Transformation Realm. The ancient clan is indeed powerful. It seems that if I want to enter the VIP room, I'll have to ask her for help. "
Luo Zheng looked at Mu Lan in the distance. He could not help but think of the scene when he met her in the ancient tomb in the Endless Valley. He smiled and did not bother with her.
"Damn it, you dare to ignore me. I'll teach you a lesson later! "
Seeing that Luo Zheng ignored him, Li Puyue was even more furious, but he could not do anything. He felt like he had punched cotton and was very uncomfortable.
"Greetings, Elder Mu Xingqi and Miss Mu Lan!"
"Greetings, Elder Mu Xingqi and Miss Lan!"
…
It was just a short distance of two hundred feet. Some people who were qualified to be friends with the Mu Family hurried forward to greet them.
Mu Xingqi was expressionless. He only nodded slightly when he met someone he knew.
Mu Lan, on the other hand, continued to follow behind her father. Her footsteps were light, and she did not respond to anyone.
"Greetings, Uncle Mu Xingqi and Miss Lan."
Mu Xingqi and his daughter walked to the front of the passage. Li Puyue walked forward and bowed gracefully.
Many people were moved when they saw that he actually dared to talk to Mu Xingqi.
One must know that there were some leaders of the first-rate families present. Even the leaders of the families did not have such qualifications.
The difference between the first-rate families and the Mu Family was like the difference between an underground worm and a dragon in the sky. The difference was immeasurable.
"Li Puyue actually knows the Third Elder of the Mu Family?"
"Could it be that when did Li Zhenghai climb up to the Mu Family?"
"If the Li Family can get the support of the Mu Family, it will definitely rise to the top of the first-rate families in a few years."
The surrounding people looked at Li Puyue enviously. Even those who were originally disdainful of him looked at him in a new light.
Hearing the whispers around him, Li Puyue was very proud.
"You are?"
