When she finished, the female host cupped her fists at the crowd and led her people behind the curtains.
Miao Yi turned back to look at Number 957, who had won the Transcendence Bow. Zhan Ruyi had said with certainty that the Transcendence Bow would not fall into the hands of an outsider. If he guessed correctly, this person must have been sent by the Heavenly Court.
As the auction ended, the crowd stood up and left. Many of them glanced at Zhan Ruyi.
Zhan Ruyi sat where he was without moving. He only stood up when he saw that everyone had left.
Miao Yi stood up and followed her to the backstage. Unexpectedly, Zhan Ruyi transmitted to him, "To keep it a secret, the auction house will arrange for the bidder to leave the Pavilion of Loyalty through the underwater passage. I will choose to leave from the north. While no one is paying attention to you, quickly go outside and check out the situation. Arrange for people to support me and prepare for our escape. "
Miao Yi was shocked. "Then what about the immortal peaches I won?"
Zhan Ruyi said, "I told you not to cause trouble. You just had to. Let's see what you can do if you ruin things!" Perhaps he realized that now was not the time to argue. His tone softened. "I'll pay for you, and I'll give you the immortal peaches for free. How about that?"
That was doable! Miao Yi stopped. He knew that now was not the time to argue. It was safer to follow Zhan Ruyi's plan. The Heavenly Court would definitely have a plan to clean up this mess. Acting rashly would only put him in danger. Then again, if Zhan Ruyi hadn't intentionally concealed his mission from the start and told him the details of the mission beforehand, he would never have bid for the immortal peaches on his own.
After watching Zhan Ruyi and Kang Daoping go backstage, Miao Yi turned and left with Yan Xiu.
The two of them walked out of the empty auction house and went up the winding staircase. Passing through the main hall, they arrived at the waterway where they had disembarked from the ship and dove into the water.
Backstage, the buyer and seller had settled their accounts. One by one, the transaction was completed with the female abbot as witnesses.
"Number 223, please come and settle the transaction with the seller." The female host called out with a smile. However, her smile soon faded. She had met someone who wanted to 'cause trouble'.
Number 223, Miao Yi, had already left. He definitely wouldn't be coming. Zhan Ruyi walked over to pay.
Although Zhan Ruyi was wearing a black robe and a gauze hat, the female host had a deep impression of her. In addition, Zhan Ruyi was naturally tall. How could he not recognize her? He smiled and said, "Please wait a moment. This time, it's number two two three. It's not your turn yet."
Zhan Ruyi said, "He has already left. I'll buy it for him. "
The female host's smile froze and she asked, "Did he leave a number for you?"
Zhan Ruyi: "No, but you should know that I'm with him."
The hostess's face darkened. "How do I know if you're together? It's useless even if you say you're together. Every auction's number plate is specially made to prevent people from counterfeiting. What if someone comes back with the number plate and hands it over to the Pavilion of Faithfulness?" After saying that, she quickly turned around and gestured. Someone beside her immediately took out the Star Bell and contacted the outside.
Zhan Ruyi was stunned. They were indeed not very clear about the rules of the auction here. 'This is bad. How could I have overlooked this even after all my calculations?' She cursed Miao Yi furiously in her heart. 'I told him not to act recklessly, but he insisted on acting recklessly, and now he really did cause trouble.'
The people waiting to hand over their items all looked over. They didn't expect someone to be so bold as to play around like this in the Pavilion of Faithfulness.
One of the people beside her contacted the hostess with the Star Bell and said, "He should have left."
The hostess's face darkened completely. Zhan Ruyi quickly tried to salvage the situation. "How about this! I'll pay for him, and I won't take the immortal peaches. I'll ask him to come back with the number plate later. This way, the Pavilion of Faithfulness won't have to worry about someone coming to cause trouble with the number plate. "
The hostess said solemnly, "If you really are with him, and you really don't want anything to happen to him, contact him immediately. Ask him to come back quickly to hand over the items. "
No one would dare to mess with the Pavilion of Faithfulness? Zhan Ruyi felt uncomfortable when he heard that. Did a small Pavilion of Faithfulness want to go against the Heavenly Court?
Most importantly, she couldn't ask Miao Yi to come back right now. She said, "I don't have a way to contact him directly."
The hostess said, "You should know where he lives, right? I'll send someone to invite him over! "
Zhan Ruyi wouldn't reveal this either. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. I said I'll pay for him. I won't take the immortal peaches either. Is that not okay? "
A hint of anger appeared on the hostess's face. "There's no need! The Pavilion of Faithfulness will pay for this. There's no need for an outsider to pay for it. For so many years, no one has ever dared to mess with the Pavilion of Faithfulness. How dare he run away from the auction. Does he think he can run away? Number 639, the winner of the second round, please come and settle the transaction with the seller. "
Saying he ran away from the auction would be an injustice to Miao Yi. It was the Pavilion of Faithfulness that was arrogant. He, Miao Yi, walked out with dignity. How could it be called running away from the auction?
Zhan Ruyi didn't come from an ordinary background, and she was proud to the core. She didn't care about the Pavilion of Faithfulness at all. Any organization or person outside of the Heavenly Court was nothing in her eyes. However, she had more important things to do right now. She didn't want to get involved, so she could only suppress her anger and retreat to the side.
After handing over one group, the Pavilion of Faithfulness immediately arranged for another group to leave.
The number of people gradually decreased. Soon, it was Zhan Ruyi's and the auctioneer, Number 957's turn. The latter didn't use cash to settle the transaction. Instead, he took out a stack of Pavilion of Faithfulness tickets.
As one of the witnesses, the hostess was slightly taken aback. Although she didn't show it on her face, she was secretly shocked. Who could take out thirty thousand trillion Pavilion of Faithfulness tickets?
When Zhan Ruyi received the stack of tickets, she was a little hesitant. Even though she knew that the Pavilion of Faithfulness tickets could be exchanged for cash at any time, this was the first time she came across one.
However, after the hostess helped to examine it, she said, "It's real. Esteemed guest Number 222 can use these tickets to exchange for cash at the Pavilion of Faithfulness at any time."
Regardless of whether it was real or fake, Zhan Ruyi didn't have any reason to delay any longer. She also didn't need to suspect Number 957. Some things had already been arranged by the higher-ups. She immediately handed over the Transcendence Bow in her hand to the other party to examine.
Number 957 quickly inspected a batch of Transcendence Bows from the one hundred thousand. After confirming that there were no problems, he quickly handed them over to Zhan Ruyi.
Previously, when both parties left, their subordinates had been arranged to send them off. This time, however, the hostess personally sent them off.
The group arrived at a secret chamber. There were experts sitting cross-legged inside the chamber, guarding the chamber. Ten pools of water formed a circle around the chamber. The hostess stood by the pool and calmly explained, "This is the waterway that leads to the outside world. The ten pools of water correspond to the ten directions outside. Arranging for everyone to leave from here is also to protect our esteemed guests' whereabouts. Please choose which direction you wish to go."
Without hesitation, Number 957 jumped into the pool of water in the north. The hostess calmly glanced at Zhan Ruyi. Unexpectedly, Zhan Ruyi and Kang Daoping quickly followed suit and jumped into the pool of water in the north. She was truly shocked.
The walls of the underwater passageway were still carved out of the associated ores. The fluorescent light under the water had a dreamy hue to it, so there was no need for illumination. The three of them quickly moved forward while Zhan Ruyi quickly contacted Miao Yi underwater.
The three of them quickly arrived at the exit. There were people from the Pavilion of Faithfulness standing guard there. They activated the protective array and let the three of them out.
As soon as the three of them came out, they immediately saw over three thousand people in black robes and gauze hats gathered in the water. The members of the Black Tiger Banner and the Blue Tiger Banner who were free were all here. Both sides made a hand signal to confirm that they were on the same side, then quickly gathered together. Miao Yi was among them.
Seeing that there was another person, Miao Yi was surprised and transmitted his voice to Zhan Ruyi, "Who is it?"
Zhan Ruyi replied, "We're on the same side! What's the situation outside? "
'On the same side?' Miao Yi paused for a moment, then said, "There are quite a number of people underwater. They've already set their sights on us. However, they don't dare to approach us because they don't know how many of us there are."
Zhan Ruyi looked around. Sure enough, there were people moving about. "Forget it. They won't dare to cause trouble in front of the Pavilion of Faithfulness. Retreat according to plan!"
Miao Yi waved his hand and gave the order. Over three thousand people immediately surrounded them and wrapped them up into a ball. They quickly spun around, resembling a giant ball in the water.
The expressions of the people watching from afar changed. Someone shouted to the people around them, "Not good!"
As expected, the spinning ball of people suddenly scattered in all directions. Over three thousand people dressed in identical attire split up into small groups and scattered in all directions. The unknown people hiding in the water were all dumbfounded …
In the middle floor of the Pavilion of Faithfulness, the green-robed old man led the female host into Cao Man's room and closed the door from the inside.
Listening to the female host's explanation of the situation, Cao Man sat at the table and looked at the purple-gold tickets on the table. They were all tickets issued by the Trustworthiness Bank. Each ticket was made from demonic beast skin using an exclusive secret recipe. Cao Man's transcendence seal was imprinted on them, so they couldn't be counterfeited. These were also the most valuable tickets in the bank. Each ticket represented a hundred trillion Red Crystals. There were a total of a hundred tickets in front of him, which meant ten thousand trillion. That was a third of the thirty thousand Red Crystals transaction for the Transcendence Bow.
Even someone as wealthy as Cao Man was a little shocked to be able to earn so much in just one transaction.
"What?" Cao Man suddenly raised his head and said, "You're saying that the person who sold the Transcendence Bow and the person who bought it left through the same waterway at the same time?"
The female host nodded and said, "Yes. I think this is strange as well. Logically speaking, both of them would try their best to avoid being discovered."
Cao Man frowned. His eyes flashed as he suddenly thought of something. He looked terrified. Bang! He slammed the table and stood up. "Not good! This is a trap. Old Seventh, quickly order the people we're following to retreat! "
The green-robed old man didn't ask for the reason. He quickly took out the Star Bell and carried out the order.
The female host was confused. She asked, "Third Grandpa, what trap?"
Cao Man raised his hand to stop her. He stared at the green-robed old man's reaction.
After the green-robed old man confirmed that his people had retreated, he replied, "Boss, our people have safely retreated."
