Following the Deputy Manager's footsteps, Xi Nuoying arrived at a passageway. The entrance of the passageway was guarded by professional guards. Even the Deputy Manager had to show a pass to enter. The rules were very strict.
The passageway wasn't big. If one had to walk side by side, it could fit at most three people. The deeper they walked into the passageway, the quieter and darker it became. A large luminous pearl was embedded in the center of the passageway, illuminating the entire passageway.
At the end of the passageway was a carved wooden door. Even though they couldn't see it in detail, they could tell from the carved patterns on the wood that this door was very expensive.
The Laifu Auction House's environment and architecture lived up to the name "Laifu". Everywhere was inlaid with gold. It was so extravagant that it made people click their tongues.
Knock knock.
The assistant manager cautiously knocked on the door and respectfully said to the person inside, "Manager, I've brought the lady."
Because he didn't know what Xi Nuoying's name was, the Assistant Cabinet Manager referred to her as "Miss", and the person inside seemed to know who he was referring to. A vigorous and dignified voice came from behind the door.
"Let her in. You may leave."
"Yes." Even though the assistant manager wasn't standing in front of that person and that person couldn't see his expression, he still acted very respectfully. It was obvious that he was very wary of the person who spoke.
"Lady, please come in. I'll take my leave." After that, he smiled at Schilling's Shadow and took three steps back. He then turned around and walked to the end of the passageway.
She retracted her gaze and slowly pushed open the heavy door. As the gap between the door widened, the golden light in the room rushed out. It was obvious that the sun was shining brightly behind the door.
The strong light made her eyes feel a little uncomfortable, but she quickly returned to normal. Her calm eyes met a pair of old eyes full of deterrence.
The old man revealed a faint smile. "Lady, this old man is the manager of the Laifu Auction House. You can call me manager. How should I address you?"
"I'm the ninth child in the family. You can call me Miss Nine." A faint smile appeared on her face. Compared to the old man, there was a sense of alienation.
The old man was stunned for a moment before a faint smile appeared in his wise black eyes. "Alright, Miss Nine, I heard from the Deputy Cabinet Manager that there's a young lady in Bei 'an City who can refine fourth-grade pills. I didn't really believe it. Although I haven't seen your face yet, from your voice and your facial features, I can tell that you're only around fourteen or fifteen years old. I really didn't expect Bei' an City to be a place full of hidden talents."
His words were to the point, and she couldn't hear any other intentions. Xi Nuoying smiled slightly, "You're too polite, steward."
During the conversation with the steward, she had already roughly scanned the situation in the room. Simply put, this room was very simple, and was far from the magnificence of the outside.
