The interior of the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce was huge. The auction venue was on the third floor. It could accommodate a few hundred people.
When Chen Xiaobei arrived, the place was already bustling with activity.
All sorts of Silver Plume nobles came out from the inner city to attend the auction.
There was also a group of semi-nobles who were doing well in 1st Street.
It wasn't hard to tell that this auction wasn't something that just anyone could participate in. Ordinary outsiders didn't even have the right to enter the venue!
Chen Xiaobei did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble. So, he made a phone call at the entrance.
Soon, Gu Congwen came out to greet him personally. This made many of the guests look at Chen Xiaobei in a different light.
This young man must be someone special to be welcomed by the manager himself.
…
Chen Xiaobei entered the auction hall.
Gu Congwen personally escorted Chen Xiaobei to a private seat in the second row.
As an outsider, Gu Congwen still valued Chen Xiaobei a lot for being able to sit in such a seat.
However, compared to the independent seats in the first row, the second row was obviously a grade lower.
Of course, the highest class of seats were reserved for the Silver Plume nobles. No outsider could sit in the first row!
Chen Xiaobei did not care about this.
The wise man was pragmatic, the fool was fickle.
The seating arrangement was just a matter of face. If he could get something real, Chen Xiaobei was more than willing to sit in the corner of the last row.
After arranging for Chen Xiaobei to sit, Gu Congwen left. There were still a lot of things to do backstage. As the manager, he still had a lot of work to do.
As time passed, the number of people in the auction hall increased.
The private seats on Chen Xiaobei's left and right were also occupied.
On the left was an old man with white hair and beard.
There was no silver hairband above his ears. He was just an outsider.
However, looking at his attire and temperament, he looked like a sage. Judging by his age, he must have obtained permanent residency in Silver Plume Planet. He was a standard semi-noble.
On Silver Plume Planet, any outsider who could become a half-noble would, without exception, have a special skill.
Even if it was Mantis Shrimp, it was only because he was one of the top gangsters. He was able to solve problems for his master in the outer city. That was how he became a semi-noble.
On Chen's right was a very beautiful young lady. Her looks and body were at least 90 points. She could be considered as a rare beauty.
However, this was a flower with an owner, and her boyfriend was sitting next to her.
To Chen Xiaobei's surprise, this woman was an outsider, but her boyfriend was a Silver Plume noble!
If she could marry this man, she could directly move into the inner city and become a true noble!
This was a world that only cared about appearances!
Being beautiful was actually more popular than having a skill!
"It's already eight o 'clock. Why haven't you started yet?" the woman asked coyly.
The nobleman beside her said dotingly, "Idiot, can't you see that the first row is still empty? Since the big shots haven't arrived yet, the auction will definitely be delayed! "
"What kind of big shot will be here today?" The woman's eyes suddenly lit up and she asked expectantly.
It was obvious that this was a very ambitious woman. Although she had a noble boyfriend, she still longed to fly to a higher branch.
The nobleman didn't think too much about it. He shrugged and said, "I don't know the specifics. In any case, they're all top-notch nobles. They're putting on airs."
Hearing this, the look of anticipation in the woman's eyes deepened.
Chen Xiaobei was also looking forward to it. What kind of nobles would be considered top-notch?
Logically speaking, the governor, Dong Zhuo, had to give Wenren Jinghao some respect. The Wenren Family should be considered top-notch nobles, right?
As they were talking, there was a commotion at the entrance.
"Oh my god … This … This is the second young master of the East Town Qin Family … I can't believe he's here …"
"The seventh young master of the North Town Wei Family! He rarely comes to the outer city. Why is he here today? Is there a treasure to be auctioned? "
"The West Town Miao Family is here too! The handsome guy leading them must be Miao Yiyue, who is said to be able to charm thousands of girls! He really lives up to his name! He's so handsome … "
"Three of the top-notch nobles from the four Star Temples are here! Needless to say, there's going to be a treasure to be auctioned today! A fierce battle is inevitable! "
"Yeah! There's going to be a good show tonight! If the South Town Lu Family is here, it'll be even more exciting! "
"I can't wait … What is going to be auctioned? I can't believe there's going to be such a fierce battle! "
As the three groups of people entered the hall, the hundreds of people in the hall were in an uproar.
All of them were making wild guesses as to what it was that could actually cause such a situation at this moment!
Three of the four Star Temples had arrived!
It was rare to see such a grand lineup in the outer city.
Chen Xiaobei saw Miao Yiyue, but there were a lot of people following him. Chen Xiaobei thought it would be too troublesome to socialize with them, so he did not greet them.
Miao Yiyue did not even look at the second row. He walked straight to the first row and sat down.
"Wow! That Master Miao is so handsome! He's the perfect prince charming! "
The beautiful woman exclaimed as well. Her eyes were glued to Miao Yiyue like a love-struck fool. She could not tear her eyes away.
The noble man was a little jealous. "The guy next to you is also very handsome. Why didn't you get so excited just now?"
"Him?"
The beautiful woman gave Chen Xiaobei a sideways glance. She did not make any comments, but the condescending look in her eyes said it all.
They were both handsome, but Chen Xiaobei was just an outsider. In the eyes of the beautiful woman, Chen Xiaobei could not even compare to one of Miao Yiyue's toes!
Chen Xiaobei chose to ignore the woman's attitude.
Chen Xiaobei felt like he was wasting his life talking to a vain woman who was eating from a bowl while looking at a pot.
On the other side, the white-haired old man was resting with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he looked up at Chen Xiaobei from the corner of his eye.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei's calm and collected face, the old man could not help but look at Chen Xiaobei in a higher light.
In this fickle world, those who could remain calm and collected were not ordinary people. Moreover, Chen Xiaobei was just a young man in his early twenties.
"Why hasn't the auction started yet?"
The beautiful woman asked in a coquettish voice.
Her eyes were still on Miao Yiyue, hoping that the handsome man would turn around and answer her question.
The noble man's jealousy increased. "There's an empty seat in the first row. It looks like there's another VIP!"
"There's another VIP?" The beautiful woman was shocked. "Who is it? Who's more arrogant than the young masters of the three Star Temples? "
"Oh my god! It's them … "
