Qin Xiao could tell that the shop owner had invited them on purpose. The person behind him must have instructed him to do so.
It seemed like they couldn't avoid this matter even if they wanted to.
Since they were already here, why not have a private room to sit in? Since they couldn't avoid it, they might as well solve it.
The three of them followed the shop owner into the auction venue and sat in a private room.
A private room could only be reserved by someone of a certain status. Furthermore, the price of a private room during such a grand event was very expensive.
Furthermore, the private room was suspended in mid-air and could overlook the entire auction venue. The view was very good.
The auction venue was very large and there were many seats below. There were probably about a million seats.
As for the private rooms, there weren't that many people. There were only about a thousand of them. It was precisely because there were so few of them that they appeared especially noble.
After taking their seats in the private room, the shop owner looked at Qin Xiao with a half-smile and said, "Young man, you've been in the limelight in Flat Demon City these days."
"First, you made an experienced person like me fail miserably. Then, you bought a rare treasure in the black market for only 20 Primal Chaos Origin Stones. You even scared off the stall owners."
"It seems like you're quite capable. It's rare to see someone so young with so many tricks up their sleeves. "
"To be honest, I'm starting to admire you."
Qin Xiao pursed his lips and smiled faintly. He looked at the shop owner and said, "Are you praising me?"
"Ha ha, what do you think?" The shop owner smiled meaningfully as he replied.
Qin Xiao shrugged and said, "I'll take it as a compliment then. However, there's a hidden meaning in your words. Why don't you just tell me who wants to see me? "
"I like to be straightforward. I don't like to beat around the bush. The fact that I agreed to sit in your private room means that I know what you're trying to do. "
"The fact that I returned the 2,000 Primal Chaos Origin Stones to you means that I know that you're working for someone. Therefore, I'm not too calculative with you."
The shop owner was slightly taken aback and looked at Qin Xiao.
However, he soon felt relieved. That's right, this young man in front of him was a smart person. This kind of thing naturally couldn't be hidden from him.
Since that was the case, there was no need to hide anymore. Anyway, he had already made preparations.
"You'll know later. Don't worry, they should be here soon," the shop owner said.
Naturally, Qin Xiao was not in a hurry. He sat there leisurely and casually looked down.
At this moment, the auction venue was filled with people, and the bustling crowd quickly filled up the entire venue.
Just the ticket sales alone would bring in a sky-high amount of income from this auction. At the very least, it would be worth millions of chaos source stones. Just the thought of it was shocking.
Even if the auction itself did not bring in much profit, just the entrance fee alone was enough for the City Lord's Mansion to make a huge profit.
Lin Xian had never encountered such a situation before. She thought that the person behind the shop owner should be the same person behind the city gate guards.
Thinking about it, he must be an important figure in the City Lord's Mansion. This was a real big shot.
Was there going to be a big shot coming soon?
Qin Xiao was not worried, but he could not help but feel nervous. It was not a good thing to offend a big shot.
"Big Brother Qin, will there be any problem? Why do I feel that the shop owner deliberately came here to catch us? "Lin Xian sent a voice transmission to Qin Xiao, a little worried.
Qin Xiao smiled faintly and replied, "Don't worry, the sky won't fall. Even if it does, I'll be there to hold it up. There won't be any trouble. "
Hearing Qin Xiao's confident and powerful words, Lin Xian was shocked. She looked at Qin Xiao in a daze.
These words were simply filled with heroic spirit.
Too domineering!
To be able to say such heroic words in front of the City Lord's Mansion, could it be that Big Brother Qin's background was even more powerful?
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Xian felt that this was the only explanation that made sense.
Thinking back, she also felt that this possibility was very high. If he did not have a big background, how could he throw out a million chaos source stones so casually?
How could he scare off so many stall owners with just one sentence?
She had always believed that Qin Xiao's background was not simple. Now, it seemed that it might be even more complicated than she had imagined.
A powerful aura suddenly descended, filling the entire private room in an instant. It was obvious that the owner of the aura was deliberately releasing his powerful immortal aura to suppress the area.
He's here!
Qin Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at the door. Sure enough, a middle-aged man in brocade robes walked in immediately.
Judging from his aura, he was a third-step Heavenly Venerable Great Immortal.
His eyes were like peerless sharp knives, extremely aggressive. The moment he entered, he locked his gaze on Qin Xiao.
He was like a wolf that had spotted its prey.
Qin Xiao met the man's eyes and did not show any signs of weakness. His aura did not lose to the other party at all.
A third-step Heavenly Venerable Great Immortal could not gain the upper hand in front of Qin Xiao. This made the Great Immortal who had just entered frown. He was surprised. "This kid is only a second-step Heavenly Venerable. How can he not show any signs of weakness under my aura?
What about him? "
"I deliberately released my aura, but he can still contend with me?"
"This kid is indeed not simple. No wonder he can cause so much trouble in Flat Demon City."
How could there be such a young talent in a small town?
Shouldn't such a person have made a name for himself long ago?
It didn't make sense.
The man was also puzzled. He realized that he could not see through the young man in front of him.
This kid did not look like someone who had walked out of a small town at all. He looked more like a genius with some background.
"Greetings, Great Immortal Yi Lie!" The stall owner immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.
Seeing a Great Immortal, Lin Xian could not help but stand up as well, her face full of respect.
A Great Immortal, in the territory of Flat Demon City, was definitely a powerhouse who stood at the top. No matter where he went, he should be respected.
Not to mention the territory of Flat Demon City, even in the entire Nine States of Huaxia, Great Immortals were qualified to roam the world. Wherever they went, they would be respected.
Qin Xiao remained seated, calmly looking at Exalted Immortal Yi Lie. He had no intention of rising, nor did he show any respect.
Such an action was simply an act of provocation.
However, even in the face of such provocation, Great Immortal Yi Hunting did not flare up. Instead, he asked, "I don't think you're from High Mountain Town. You shouldn't be a Second Step Empyrean, right? Who are you? Where do you come from? "
Qin Xiao naturally knew that Great Immortal Yi Lie was probing him. He pursed his lips and smiled faintly. "Yes, I'm not from High Mountain Town. As for what realm I am and where I come from, that's a private matter. There's no need to tell you, is there? "
"Go ahead and guess. If you want to bully someone, do you have to know their background first?"
"If that's the case, I think you're a little weak. There's something wrong with the way you're bullying someone. If you want to bully someone, shouldn't you come straight to the point? Is there a need to ask so many questions? "
"Even if I say I'm a descendant of a great family, you'd have to believe me, right?"
In the Nine States of Huaxia, there were hundreds of great families and hundreds of great families. In each land, there were hundreds of great families.
Therefore, in the entire Nine States of Huaxia, there was a saying: the Hundred Schools of Thought, the Ten Thousand Families.
The Hundred Schools of Thought were the fixed hundred great families. They were ancient and powerful.
Every surname represented a powerful force that ruled over a territory. They were the true overlords of a region.
As for the Wan Clan, it referred to the fact that each territory had about a hundred or so powerful surnames. Combined together, it was a powerful wind of Wan Clan standing in great numbers.
The five great families, the Hundred Schools and the Ten Thousand Families, formed the power system of the entire Nine States of Huaxia.
In front of this three-tiered force, the other forces appeared to be very insignificant.
Great Immortal Yi Lie's expression turned ugly at Qin Xiao's retort. He glowered at Qin Xiao.
"You're Qin Xiao, right? Although I don't know where you're from, it's not important. "
"As you said, I don't need to know where you're from to find you. Let's get to the point."
"I'm here to talk to you on the orders of His Highness. His Highness is sitting in the private room over there."
Qin Xiao glanced over there, but he didn't see where the Highness Yi Lie was talking about was. He couldn't see the situation in the other private rooms either.
However, he was sure that the Highness Yi Lie was talking about was also here.
"Which Highness? There should be many Highnesses in the Demon Flattening City Lord's Mansion, right? "Qin Xiao curled his lips. In fact, he had already guessed that it was a Highness in the Demon Flattening City Lord's Mansion.
The descendants of the Demon Flattening City Lord could all be called Highness. Therefore, he didn't know who the Highness was at all.
Yi Lie snorted and said, "You don't need to ask so clearly. In short, you just need to know that it's a Highness."
"This time, you've offended His Highness and ruined his plans. How do you want to settle this account?"
At this point, it was already very clear that the matter of the city gate guards collecting the entrance fee was planned by this Highness. Abusing his power for personal gain was simply too audacious.
His Highness had obviously instructed the shopkeeper to rip off the customer.
Now, His Highness had actually come to settle the account in person.
Qin Xiao shrugged his shoulders and casually said, "How you want to settle the score depends on how you want to settle it."
"You want me to settle the account? Then I'll tell you to get lost and stop bothering me, okay?"
"Humph!" Yi Lie snorted again and said angrily, "Young man, are you dreaming?"
"You're still so stubborn at this time? You still refuse to lower your head? "
"Humph, to be honest, sometimes I really admire you young people. Young and frivolous, supercilious and fearless. You can do all kinds of crazy things regardless of the consequences. "
"I really don't understand. Is a life so worthless to you?"
"I don't care where you come from, but this is the Demon Flattening City. It's not a place where you can behave atrociously."
"If His Highness wants to kill you, he has thousands of ways to do so."
"His Highness just wants to give you a chance. That's why he hasn't decided to kill you yet. It's up to you whether you cherish this opportunity tomorrow night. "
"Whether you live or die is in your hands. If you want to die, it's easy. We'll fulfill your wish. "
"If you still want to live, then be sensible and admit your mistakes obediently. There's only one chance. It'll be too late if you miss it. "
