Wei Lingxiao wanted to flare up. This was clearly bullying the customer. However, the shopkeeper explained with a smile, "This is fish eyes passing off as pearls. It's made from deep-sea frosty fish eyes wrapped in pearl powder and fried. It's very difficult to preserve the original shape of the fish eyes. This is Green Silk Ribbon, the most tender kelp in the Blue Sea Region. It was just picked two hours ago and is the most delicious …"
These were obviously very ordinary dishes, but the shopkeeper made them sound like they were very rare and difficult to make. At least, everyone felt that these dishes were indeed very fresh and they had never seen many of them before. However, Wei Lingxiao only brought 200 high-grade spirit stones with him when he went out, and he spent half of them on these junk dishes. His heart was bleeding and he couldn't eat a single bite.
Especially the "fish eyes passing off as pearls" part. He felt that the shopkeeper was scolding him, but the shopkeeper was smiling, so no one could find fault with him.
Wei Lingxiao felt very uncomfortable. Everything had been smooth sailing for him since he came here. Although he was criticized because of the Chu family, he didn't feel much as he hid at home. He didn't expect to encounter such a sullen situation after coming to Sea City.
He couldn't sit still anymore and said coldly, "Let's go back to the inn first." Then he strode out. However, when he reached the door, he heard a woman's voice. "The First Young Master is really rich. He spent 100 high-grade spirit stones to buy a meal and didn't eat a single bite. He really dotes on his younger brother and sister. He's really generous."
He followed the voice and saw that the door to Chu Xiang's private room on the second floor was closed. He didn't see anyone, but he knew that it was the woman who had bid with them before. The people downstairs were already talking about how generous he was. He felt stifled and left in a huff.
Luo Yu watched him leave from the window and giggled. "Miss, what First Young Master? He's angry, right? I think he's going to die from anger! "
Chu Xiang blinked. "That meal cost 100 high-grade spirit stones. It really hurts. Feather, you have high standards now."
Luo Yu said embarrassedly, "Then I … It's just that I've gotten used to following Miss around. Every time Miss uses a magic tool, it costs one high-grade spirit stone. Cough, actually, if you think about it, one high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to ten thousand low-grade spirit stones. One hundred high-grade spirit stones is really expensive. Even if you sold me, I wouldn't be worth that much. Wei Lingxiao only managed to buy a meal and ate it in one bite. "
Chu Xiang smiled as she drank her tea. "You're much more important than those spirit stones. Let's rest for a while. We'll go to the Treasure Pavilion again in the afternoon. Right, isn't Zhen Bao Pavilion going to auction something tonight? Let's go take a look. "
Zhen Bao Pavilion was also He Feng's private property. It was the largest store in Sea City, with a total of three floors. Artifacts, pills, robes, and all kinds of materials were all sold. Recently, a large number of descendants of wealthy families had gathered in Sea City. Zhen Bao Pavilion took this opportunity to hold an auction to clear out their inventory and make a fortune.
Chu Xiang thought that it was possible that He Feng was planning to accompany He Yunfei to the Luo Continent. He wanted to take this opportunity to deal with all his businesses and collect money. After all, after this time, the rich people would not gather so much. By then, it would not be so easy to deal with the overstocked goods. He couldn't possibly bring everything to the Luo Continent, could he? The things there were much better than here. If he brought them over, he would not be able to sell them at a high price. He would lose money.
Chu Xiang was very interested in trapping Wei Lingxiao. After she went out, she asked people to spread the news. Wei Lingxiao was too generous. One hundred top-grade spirit stones for a meal, and he didn't even frown. Moreover, he loved his younger siblings very much. As long as they liked something, he was willing to pay for them.
When this news spread out, naturally, some people whispered secretly that Wei Lingxiao had received a lot of benefits from the Chu Family and could squander them wantonly. When the Wei Family heard these rumors, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Instead, they felt that they should let Wei Lingxiao pay the bill. Wei Lingxiao was the eldest brother, and the family's resources were all tilted to him. Even the Chu Family's property disappeared mysteriously. Who knew if Wei Lingxiao had received a lot of benefits?
Anyway, they didn't have a hundred top-grade spirit stones. Even Wei Linger didn't have it. What was wrong with them asking their brother to buy something for them? It was better than Wei Lingxiao spending all his spirit stones on Zhou Xinlian, right?
Originally, they had conflicts, and each of them had their own thoughts. Because of Chu Xiang's provocation and the influence of the rumors, the cousins bought a lot of rare things and asked Wei Lingxiao to pay the bill.
Wei Lingxiao couldn't fall out with them in front of the two who came to take the money, but when the outsiders left, he immediately argued with them. In the past, his younger brothers in the family respected him. He had never quarreled with anyone. He only needed to say a few words of displeasure, and they would all be obedient. Now, they were not afraid of him at all and provoked him everywhere. He couldn't stand it.
Luo Yu was still talking to Chu Xiang. "The Wei Family is the first family on the south bank, but it seems that they don't have a good relationship. They're not as happy as us commoners."
Chu Xiang shook her finger in front of her. "They have their own happiness. It's just that they don't care too much about family ties. Moreover, Wei Lingxiao brought glory to them in the past. They felt proud to have such an elder brother when they went out. Now that Wei Lingxiao has brought shame upon himself, and he is even suspected of killing Clan Master Chu and his fiancée. He is a traitor, and they have to face the strange gazes of others when they go out. How can they have the patience to be respectful to him? "
Luo Yu thought about it thoughtfully and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that wealth can also move people's hearts. Everyone is guessing where the Chu Family's things went. No matter how you look at it, the Wei Family took them. But these young masters of the Wei Family don't know about it. Maybe Clan Head Chu secretly gave them to Wei Lingxiao so that he could have a rich family in the Luo Continent. They can't be blamed for being so biased.
It's not certain whether Wei Lingxiao can become a powerful person in the Luo Continent. Who knows how long it will take for him to take care of the Wei Family on the south bank. Compared to those illusory promises, visible and tangible treasures were more tempting. I'm guessing that the Wei Family will have internal strife and divide the Chu Family's treasures equally. "
Chu Xiang smiled. "Not bad. You're thinking more and more carefully. You're not as reckless as before."
Luo Yu blushed and smiled. "I've learned a lot from following you."
The two of them were in the VIP room of the Treasure Pavilion, flipping through the booklet to pass the time. Not long after, He Yunfei and Jin Zhen also arrived. They both realized that Chu Xiang was targeting Wei Lingxiao and Zhou Xinlian. But what these two did was indeed disdainful. Chu Xiang came from a hermit family, so it was normal that she couldn't stand them.
Didn't she save Luo Yu because she couldn't stand Zhou Yufeng?
So no one suspected her motives, and no one suspected that she was the Chu Family's daughter.
Everyone basically thought that the Chu Family's daughter was dead. Moreover, the Chu Family's daughter was a well-known good-for-nothing. Everyone saw her being beaten and bullied. Of course, no one thought of Chu Xiang. Even if Chu Xiang brazenly bid with others in the Fragrant Brothel, no one would associate her with the Chu Family's daughter.
Jin Zhen knew that Chu Xiang didn't like Wei Lingxiao, so he specially sent people out to publicize the auction that night. There were many kinds of treasures and high-grade magic tools that had never been seen before. Of course, these high-grade magic tools were newly refined by him. Now that he could refine high-grade magic tools on his own, the two that he casually refined were new products that had never been seen before.
The people in charge of publicity went to the inn where the Wei Family lived. The Wei Family's members were tempted. Usually, in the Imperial City, they didn't dare to go too far. After all, the head of the family was watching. If there was any trouble, the head of the family would know immediately. If they provoked Wei Lingxiao, they would be scolded and punished.
However, this was Haicheng. The mountains were high and the emperor was far away. If they all pestered Wei Lingxiao to buy things for them, Wei Lingxiao might really buy them due to his arrogance. Then, when they returned, even if they were punished, they would receive practical benefits.
Besides, they didn't have a single high-grade magic tool. No matter what, they must attend the auction.
They also knew how to do it. It was rare for them to come to Sea City. They must see the world. Their descendants were outside. If they found good things and brought them back to show filial piety to their elders, it would be a good thing. Also, their family hoped that they could make friends with the girl called "Lin Mu". Whether they could marry or not, they might get some benefits from making friends. It was very likely that they would meet Lin Mu at such a big auction.
Although Wei Lingxiao felt that they were up to no good, the spirit stones were in his storage bag. If he didn't want to give them, could they rob him? Moreover, he was also very interested in high-grade magic tools. If Lin Mu was really as knowledgeable as the rumors said, maybe they could make friends and discuss the Tao together and learn from each other.
So in the end, Wei Lingxiao went with them. Zhou Xinlian was left at the inn again. She could see that Wei Lingxiao was still afraid that her appearance would embarrass him even more. She felt indignant and felt that she would definitely return empty-handed. She couldn't do anything, so she took advantage of their absence to go to the Zhou family.
Father Zhou was her uncle. Although their two families had broken up for a long time, she had no enmity with them. In the past two days, she heard in Sea City that Zhou Yufeng was thrown into the army. Presumably, her uncle and aunt were having a headache because of this. If she could come up with an idea to solve this matter, they would be her family.
No matter what, her aunt was also the sister of the Lord of Sea City. With this relationship, she was not an orphan girl that the Wei Family could bully. Wei Lingxiao couldn't ask her not to show up.
Zhou Xinlian had always had a plan, so she went to find her relatives with confidence. She successfully convinced Father Zhou and Madam He to live in the Zhou Family.
Treasure Pavilion was very lively here. Because Jin Zhen took out several high-grade magic tools for auction, there were many people attending the auction. The whole hall was full and there were additional seats.
However, the first item to be auctioned was not a high-grade magic tool, but something that Chu Xiang had specially taken out from her space. It was a modern solar crystal ball. Inside the crystal ball was the shape of an eagle spreading its wings. It looked very fierce. After the crystal ball absorbed the solar energy, it turned back to emitting a white light. Below the eagle, there would be ten words: First.
The crystal ball was just put in by Chu Xiang because she thought it looked good. The words below were engraved by her just now. This was just a very common handicraft in modern times. It was not worth much, but here, no one had seen this kind of craftsmanship. The Nascent Soul stage ancestor of the Wei Family was called Wei Zhanfeng, and his spiritual pet was an eagle.
As soon as this thing was taken out, several people of the Wei Family immediately said, "Lingxiao, this seems to be a good thing. Isn't this eagle spreading its wings just right for the ancestor's eagle? The ancestor usually dotes on you the most. You have to buy this. "
No one knew why the crystal ball glowed and what function it had. It looked very mysterious. It looked like a good thing and had the words "First." Of course, Wei Lingxiao wanted to buy it. However, with Chu Xiang raising the price, Wei Lingxiao once again vomited blood and lost money for a useless thing.
