The so-called 'Lord Feng' was, of course, Ye Xiao's disguise.
The Xiao Monarch had changed his appearance again. He maintained the appearance of Feng Zhi-Ling and casually walked into the auction house. He stood on the second floor and looked down at the crowd with disdain.
Under the eyes of so many people, he seemed to be very high-profile.
Ye Xiao didn't move a bit when he was being stared at by so many people. He completely ignored them.
He just stood there quietly with his cold and sharp eyes, staring at the people coming in one after another.
At this moment, Guan Wan-Shan, the great master of the auction house, walked over with respect and a smile on his face, "Brother Feng, you came so early. Please forgive me for not greeting you earlier."
He felt strange, [Doesn't this guy always want to keep a low profile? Why is he standing in the eye of the storm when so many people are looking at him?
Do you know that this will expose your identity?]
Ye Xiao said blandly, "What's the point of not greeting you earlier? I am here to see if the price of the dan beads will be lower."
Guan Wan-Shan heard him and said seriously, "Brother Feng, you are worrying too much. We will fight for such a marvelous item even if we have to break our heads. Speaking of which, judging from the reaction now, we have really taken advantage of you by keeping five of the dan beads for two million taels each. "
Ye Xiao moved the corner of his mouth a bit and said with an expressionless face, "As the saying goes, don't do it for money if you can't take advantage of me. If you don't take advantage of me, I am afraid you won't do your best."
Guan Wan-Shan opened his mouth. Even though he was experienced in treating guests, he didn't know what to say. He couldn't help thinking, [This guy is too straightforward. He doesn't have the taste of a businessman at all. He doesn't know how to beat around the bush and doesn't care if others can stand it.]
After a few more polite words, he hurriedly went to prepare.
Down below, the representatives of all the sects had entered the auction house one after another. The next to enter was the royal family and the representatives of the noble clans in the capital.
Although the eight noble clans were famous in the world and had unimaginable power, in the mortal world, they always respected the royal power on the surface. Even though they all knew that it was just a superficial modesty, it was still a gesture that everyone recognized.
After all, the world was always ruled by imperial dynasties instead of major clans.
At that moment, the names of the people from the Mu Clan had been called. One was an old man, and the other was a middle-aged man. Both of them had their sleeves fluttering in the wind. Their faces were serious, and their bodies were filled with righteousness.
His gait was majestic and awe-inspiring!
The demeanor of one of the Eight Great Clans!
Ye Xiao's eyes turned cold. He secretly made a fist with his right hand.
A mysterious cold energy appeared in the air.
It was completely silent and traceless.
"As expected of someone from the Eight Great Clans. His demeanor is extraordinary."
"That's right, this is the bearing of a top aristocratic family …"
The onlookers were all praising him.
The faces of the Mu Clan's two people were gentle and honest. Their eyes did not look sideways and there was not the slightest trace of complacency. However, they still felt comfortable in their hearts. This time, he represented the family and brought face to the family. When he returned, it would be a bonus …
Looks like our elegance and temperament have really captivated everyone …
However, at this moment …
The middle-aged man from the Mu Clan, who was walking forward, was trying his best to walk with his head held high …
All of a sudden, he felt … that he slipped. Just when he was feeling proud and high-spirited, his center of gravity suddenly became unstable. He was completely unprepared, so he staggered and almost fell down. Luckily, he was a good cultivator. When he staggered, he forcibly took a breath of pure Qi and stabilized his body. If not, he wouldn't have been able to run away from the heavy fall.
But even so, it was still a huge loss of face. This sudden change was really inexplicable!
All the praises in the surroundings stopped abruptly. Everyone was dumbfounded. Never in their wildest dreams would they have imagined that a member of one of the Eight Great Clans would actually make such a big mistake on such an important and formal occasion.
After a short moment of astonishment, some of the onlookers started to laugh in a low voice.
The next moment, the middle-aged man from the Mu Clan stood up with his face flushed. He carefully felt his feet. There was obviously nothing under his feet. If he didn't continue to move forward, he would undoubtedly lose face. He calmed himself down and carefully lifted his feet again. He pretended to be calm and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.
However, when he had just taken his third step and relaxed his mind, he suddenly felt his feet slip again!
This time, he was caught off guard and was caught unprepared. He was even more embarrassed than before. With a thud, he staggered again. This time, he fell even more fiercely!
His whole body almost slid out.
Because he fell too quickly, both his hands unconsciously raised upwards. His body was completely out of control and fell straight down. The middle-aged man really didn't have the strength to stabilize his body. His forward fall was already a foregone conclusion. In the end, he had no choice but to use his hands to support himself. Only then did he avoid the terrible situation of falling down.
With a flip, he stood up. His face had turned into a bright red cloth, almost dripping blood.
However, his image at this moment had already been lost in front of everyone!
"What the hell … What the hell is wrong with this man from the eight noble clans? He fell once because he was careless. It was a mistake. But he fell twice in a row. Each fall is worse than the last. Isn't this too much? "
"What eight noble clans? That's the Mu Clan! Do you even know how to talk? "
"Eh, yes, yes … I'm dying of laughter …"
The laughter didn't stop for a long time!
The Mu Clan's elder's face was as red as a date. He angrily scolded in a low voice, "What the hell is wrong with you? How could you make such a mistake at such a critical moment? You're really a dog meat that can't be put on the table! "
The middle-aged man's face turned red and he looked extremely embarrassed. However, he had to explain in a low voice, "It seems like I stepped on ice …"
The elder was furious, "F * ck you! How could there be ice in such a hot summer day? This is the Ling-Bao Hall. How could there be anything on the ground? Even if you want to quibble, you should at least make up a reasonable excuse! Damn it! If I knew you would be so humiliated today, I wouldn't have given birth to you! "
The middle-aged man knew he was wrong, so he kept saying yes. In his heart, he thought, "My mother has been beaten to death by you for so many years … You actually have the nerve to scold her … You old bastard. If I wasn't your son, I would have kicked you to death! … "
The two of them did suspect that someone had done something to the Ling-Bao Hall. However, they were in a public place. How could everyone else be fine except for him? Secondly, they didn't feel any fluctuation of martial art. Even though they suspected it, they couldn't. Thirdly, as the old man had said, this was the Ling-Bao Hall. The eight noble clans might think they were superior in other places, but this place was full of superior cultivators. There were many great sects here, yet they didn't have the confidence to be superior.
Most importantly, no matter how knowledgeable they were, they would never have thought that there was such a marvelous martial art like the East-rising Purple Qi in this world!
On the second floor, Ye Xiao, who had succeeded in his attack, actually felt relieved. His tightly clenched fists suddenly relaxed. He could still feel the coldness in his palms.
He had used the gelid qi to make two pieces of transparent ice that were as thin as cicada's wings. He had controlled them from a distance and placed them under the guy's feet. Nobody had noticed!
That was an extremely bold experiment for Ye Xiao.
What he had done this time was that he had successfully attacked the guy from the Mu Clan while there were so many superior cultivators around. More importantly, no one had noticed it!
In the eyes of the Xiao Monarch, there weren't any truly superior cultivators here. However, in Ye Xiao's eyes, every single one of them was a top-notch superior cultivator. Even though Ye Xiao was confident that he could handle one or two of them, he didn't dare to say that he could defeat them easily!
Especially those superior cultivators from the sects, Ye Xiao couldn't see through them at all. That made him extremely vigilant.
Even though the attack he had just made wasn't filled with murderous intent, Ye Xiao was still extremely satisfied with the result.
"The East-rising Purple Qi is truly marvelous. It is the best martial art in the world!"
Ye Xiao thought, "If I can use this martial art to travel in the martial world in the future, I can totally use this martial art to do things that I can't do openly. And there won't be any trace left. "
"That is truly a marvelous method of assassination and sneak attack …"
Ye Xiao paid attention to the color of the red carpet and found that it didn't change at all. He couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
That piece of ice had silently disappeared into the red carpet after it had done its work. There wasn't any water stain or any change to the original color of the carpet. It was truly flawless and untraceable.
Judging from that, even if it had happened on the dry ground, a small piece of melted ice wouldn't have attracted too much attention.
Especially during a fierce fight, when people were sweating profusely, it would be even more inconspicuous …
Ye Xiao's mouth curled up into a smile.
The next moment, Ye Xiao saw Su Ye-Yue and her friends also enter the auction room. At the end, there were two well-dressed guys coming together. They looked quite elegant at first glance. They were Lan Lang-Lang and Zuo Wu-Ji.
However, one of them was tilting his head and the other one was trying hard to separate his eyes … It was a bit weird.
The two of them murmured while walking, "I wonder where the bastard Ye Xiao is. Doesn't he know that today is the big day for us, the three lords of the capital, to come out together …"
"I wonder if I can get the mysterious jade this time... F * ck, there won't be so many people competing for it, will there?"
"Kill them all!"
"Ah? How dare you … "
"I don't dare … But I know you do …"
"Of course I dare, but I am afraid I can't beat them …"
