When Ling Qingfeng first saw Wugui Kojiro, she felt very awkward and uncomfortable.
After all, the legendary Wugui Kojiro was arrogant and domineering. He was a notorious devil incarnate in the Nine Zones.
But the Wugui Kojiro now was very humble and polite. He was not as annoying as the rumors said.
Ling Qingfeng was shocked. Could the rumors be wrong? Could the Nine Zones have misunderstood Wugui Kojiro?
But soon, Ling Qingfeng realized that Wugui Kojiro's humility and politeness were all because of Chen Xiaobei!
When facing Chen Xiaobei, Wugui Kojiro was as gentle as a kitten! But when facing others, Wugui Kojiro was like a ferocious tiger baring its fangs and claws!
As the saying goes, a leopard cannot change its spots!
Even Wugui Kojiro's father, the Emperor of Heaven, would not be able to make Wugui Kojiro so docile and humble.
But Chen Xiaobei could!
This surprised Ling Qingfeng even more. Who exactly was Chen Xiaobei? The longer she interacted with him, the more she could not see through him.
"Childe Chen! Childe Qingfeng! "
Wugui Kojiro brought over a plate with tea and fruits. "These are the Spiritual Fruits and Spiritual Tea that I've ordered my men to prepare! Please enjoy your meal. Our auction item will be appearing in the second last round. "
"Second to last? Why so late?" Chen Xiaobei frowned and asked.
Wugui Kojiro smiled. "I've just said that Earth-God Instruments are rarely put up for sale. It's considered a rare commodity. It's only used to hold the fort. Of course, it has to be put on later!"
Chen was startled and asked, "Then, why is it not the finale of the show? Is there something more valuable? "
"Ah! I forgot to ask about that! "Wugui Kojiro frowned." Should I go and ask now? "
"No need. We have to wait until the end anyway. We'll just wait and see!" Chen Xiaobei said.
Wugui Kojiro nodded and sat down obediently.
Ling Qingfeng moved closer to Chen Xiaobei and whispered, "You … The thing you want to sell is an Earth-God instrument? Are you kidding me? "
Chen shrugged and smiled without saying a word.
Ling Qingfeng's eyes widened. "An Earth-God Instrument is a super treasure that many people yearn for but never get their hands on! How could you sell it? Even if you sell them for a huge amount of Spiritual Stones, you might not be able to buy another Earth-God instrument! "
Chen smiled and said, "Don't be nervous! Once you see the two Earth-God Instruments, you will understand my intention! It can also prove my innocence! "
"Two … two? You want to sell two Earth-God instruments? My god … You must be crazy … "Ling Qingfeng gasped. She was beginning to doubt her life.
She would never be able to figure out what Chen was trying to do.
Subsequently.
The auction officially began.
The thousands of seats on the first floor were all filled to the brim.
The dozen or so VIP booths on the second floor were all occupied by the mysterious nouveau riche.
According to Wugui Kojiro, this was a large-scale auction that would only be held once a month. All the items that would be sold were good stuff and the guests were all nouveau riches.
Sure enough, the first item was a Five-star Spiritual Instrument. As the auction progressed, the higher the grade of the items, the higher the price.
Towards the end, there was even a pinnacle phase Spiritual Instrument for sale. Ling Qingfeng's heart itched and she even called out a few more bids. Alas, the nouveau riches of Apocalypse Starfield were too wealthy. Ling Qingfeng had to give up halfway through the bidding.
"Dear distinguished guests! After a few rounds of preparation, it's time for the highlight of the day! "
In the middle of the auction hall, a beautiful auctioneer spoke in a provocative voice. "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment! Now, I would like to show you a pair of extremely rare treasures! In the thousand-year history of our Crimson Moon Auction Hall, this is the first time we are auctioning something like this! "
As soon as he said that, everyone's attention was focused on him.
Even Chen Xiaobei's interest was piqued. What was it? This was the first time a thousand-year-old auction hall was auctioning something like this!
"Next! Please allow me to show you the second to last item of the day! "
The auctioneer purposely dragged out her voice, trying her best to raise everyone's curiosity.
At the same time, two beautiful, long-legged maidservants each carried a tray covered with red cloth and walked to the auctioneer's side.
The auctioneer raised both of her hands and pulled at the corner of the red cloth. "Everyone, please take a look! This is the second to last item of the day, Undying Love of Ice and Fire! "
As the red cloth fell, an ice crystal sword and a crimson flame folding fan appeared on the two trays!
Swoosh …
All of a sudden, the guests in the auction hall were stirred up.
"Such a strong Spiritual Attribute! Those are two Earth-God Instruments, right? "
"Ice Crystal Sword and Fire Fan! It should be called Ice and Fire! Why is it called Undying Love of Ice and Fire?"
"It's just a name! It's not a big deal! The point is that very few people sell Earth-God Instruments! There's no market for them! There's going to be a fierce battle later! "
"That's right! All the tycoons in the auction hall will definitely go all out! "
Those who did not have money were waiting to watch the show, while those who had money were ready to compete with each other. Everyone could not wait for the auction to begin.
"That … That is …" Ling Qingfeng's jaw dropped. She recognized the two famous Earth-God Instruments in the Nine Zones right away!
But she could not figure it out. Why would those two Earth-God Instruments appear in the Scarlet Moon Auction Hall? They were the lifeblood of the Ximen and Yuwen families!
Blarrgghh …
Chen Xiaobei did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I've heard of Undying Love of Ice and Fire before! What the hell is this Undying Love of Ice and Fire? "
"Childe Chen, there's something you don't know! This is the auction house's way of creating hype! "Wugui Kojiro chuckled." None of the guests here are from the Nine Zones! That's why no one recognizes those two Earth-God Instruments. As long as the hype is good, the price will skyrocket! "
"How do you do it?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"You just need to listen to me! We're about to begin! "Wugui Kojiro smiled.
The auctioneer continued. "Speaking of Undying Love of Ice and Fire, I'm sure none of you here have heard of it! There's a beautiful love story behind this pair of treasures!
A long, long time ago, the prince of the Huo tribe fell in love with the princess of the Xue tribe! But ice and fire do not mix. Their love was strongly opposed by the two tribes, and they were even cursed!
But they ignored what the world thought and decided to elope together! In the end, the two tribes were so angry that they sent out an army to kill them! The prince of the Huo tribe died in battle, and the princess of the Xue tribe committed suicide!
Right now, the Ice Crystal Sword and Fire Fan that everyone is looking at are the proof of their love! "
The auctioneer was so emotional that it sounded like it was real.
