The auction came as scheduled.
Yan Li relied on his relationship with Yu Qiuyu to obtain a private VIP room at the auction. Because the latter had to maintain order at the auction, he could not accompany him.
Gu Caiwei had originally wanted to see what he could buy, but because of the sudden bustle of the Medicine King Yard, Su Xingyu called him over to help.
In the end, only Yan Li came to the auction.
Looking at the auction list, the blood ginseng was number seventeen. If everything went smoothly, he would be able to obtain it in the morning.
As an annual event, the venue was unusually grand. There were thirteen rows of seats, and each row could seat 199 people. The seats were arranged in a circular manner around the auction stage. There were also hundreds of VIP seats on the second floor, which could be seen from the first floor. The VIP rooms were different. They were located in a dark attic. Those outside could not see what was going on inside, but those inside could see everything clearly.
Of course, with Yu Qiuyu's status, it was not a big deal to give Yan Li a VIP room.
On the auction stage, there were several transparent cabinets displaying the auction items. Among them were the blood ginseng and a brilliant elemental crystal.
As Yan Li walked from the main hall to the VIP room, he glanced at the blood ginseng and could not help but stop in his tracks. It was a human-shaped ginseng that was only slightly larger than a fist. Under its wrinkled old skin, one could feel a vigorous vitality even from a distance. The ginseng's roots were very long, and they swayed as if blown by the wind.
As he stared at the blood ginseng, a pair of warm and kind eyes suddenly opened in what seemed to be the head. It was as if a benevolent elder was quietly looking over.
His mood was slightly disturbed, but he quickly calmed down.
At this moment, an insufferably arrogant voice suddenly came from behind him. "Where did this country bumpkin come from? Don't you know you're blocking Master Lian's path? This is the aisle to the VIP seats. Is this a place for a country bumpkin like you to stand? Get out of the way! "
Without turning his head, Yan Li said, "What are you going to do if I don't get out of the way?"
The man flew into a rage. He took two big steps forward and rushed forward to grab Yan Li's shoulder. He was prepared to use his great strength to force Yan Li to kneel and submit on the spot.
Yan Li flipped his hand and grabbed the man's wrist. With a "kacha" sound, the man screamed as he was flung away by Yan Li, smashing several chairs.
The companions of the person behind him were all furious. Young Master Lian, who was the leader, saw that Yan Li's back was somewhat familiar. He called for his subordinates to stop. After carefully identifying him, he shouted in surprise and joy, "Benefactor Master?"
Yan Li turned his head around and saw that it was Young Master Lian Junhao. He said unhappily, "I've said it many times, I'm not your master. Do you believe that I won't smash your mouth if you call me that again?" After becoming a demon, his temper was a little irritable. After saying that, he walked straight ahead.
"Aiyo, my Lord Benefactor, where are you going?" Young Master Lian hurriedly shouted when he saw Yan Li walking in the direction of the VIP room. "That's the VIP room. How can an independent person like you barge in? Are you here to participate in the auction? This lowly one has two VIP invitation letters. If you don't mind, how about sitting with this lowly one? "
As he spoke, he ran up to pull Yan Li. His words were very solicitous.
Yan Li shook him off and said, "No need."
"Cough cough …" At this moment, among the people who came with Young Master Lian, an old man with white hair and beard coughed lightly and said, "Young people shouldn't be so rash. Young Master Lian has good intentions. "
Lian Junhao's eyes flashed slightly. He grinned and introduced, "Benefactor, this lowly one will introduce you. This is the most experienced hunting chief in the city. He is respected by all the hunting chiefs in the city, Dong Qingshan, Senior Dong. Senior Dong's cultivation is extremely profound. It's not difficult for him to fly in the sky and burrow into the ground. This time, I spent a lot of effort to invite him to participate in the auction. I got two invitation letters, and one of them is for Senior Dong … "
"But," he said helplessly, "one cannot be ungrateful. This lowly one deeply remembers the benefactor's help. If benefactor needs it, no matter what, this lowly one will have to gift this invitation letter to benefactor."
Dong Qingshan's face turned green. Although he knew what Lian Junhao was planning, if he didn't stand up now, wouldn't it seem like he was afraid of this young man who had just arrived in White Water City? How would he lead the hunting group under him in the future?
Thinking of this, he said calmly, "This old man really wants to know how you managed to rescue Young Master Lian from such a dangerous situation. May I know where your master is? "
Yan Li was extremely impatient. He didn't want to reply and turned around, intending to leave.
"Who's causing trouble at my auction!"
At this moment, a group of people seemed to have been startled by the commotion at the auction. They walked out from behind the curtains. The leader of the group was a middle-aged man with a broad face and long eyebrows. He was well-dressed, and his gaze swept across the smashed chairs and the injured person who was weakly groaning on the floor. His fierce eyes immediately lit up. "Causing trouble at my, Yu Feihu's, territory? Do you have a death wish? Who's the one who beat him up? Step forward! "
Dong Qingshan saw the arrival of this person and sneered in his heart. He immediately put on a smile and cupped his fists at the middle-aged man. "Since Supervisor Yu has come personally, it seems that the auction item this time is extraordinary."
Unexpectedly, Yu Qingshan only glanced at him indifferently. He didn't even say a word and shifted his gaze away. "I'll ask again, who's the one who beat him up?"
Dong Qingshan was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to say anything. The person in front of him was an important figure in White Water City. He was the supervisor of all external trade and commerce at the Court Of Sword. Even bad people had to be polite to him. What was a mere headhunter to him?
Young Master Lian was also shocked. He didn't expect to disturb such an important figure like Yu Feihu. His Lian family had some influence in the city, but compared to Yu Feihu, it wasn't even worth a fart.
Just as he was at a loss of what to do, he heard Yan Li's voice. "I was the one who beat him up. Bring him to the Medicine King Hall for treatment. I'll pay for the expenses."
Hearing this, Young Master Lian was both surprised and amused. Where did this Yan Li come from? He didn't even know Yu Feihu. It seemed that he was in for a hard time.
Dong Qingshan and the others all laughed coldly in their hearts, waiting to see Yan Li make a fool of himself.
Yu Feihu looked in the direction of the voice, and his expression changed. He cupped his fists respectfully and said, "So it's Young Master Yan. You've come so early. The venue has just been set up, and I haven't had time to send someone to receive you. Please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter. Just do as I say." Yan Li waved his hand and walked to the VIP room, leaving the dumbfounded crowd behind.
Lian Junhao suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed something. He ran to Yan Li and cried, "Lord Benefactor, Lord Benefactor, please take me with you …"
Yu Feihu blocked him with lightning speed and stared at him coldly. "Is Young Master Yan someone you can offend?"
Dong Qingshan said, trembling, "May … may I ask Lord Yu, who … who is this Young Master Yan?"
Yu Feihu said coldly, "Young Master Yan Li, the Third Rank of the Rising Dragon Roll. He's a genius swordsman that all seven branches of the Court Of Sword are fighting for. Once the gate opens, he'll be a core disciple of the Court Of Sword. Who do you think he is?"
Dong Qingshan was so scared that his face turned pale and he almost fell to the ground.
