"Senior Brother!" Fire Phoenix tugged at his sleeve, hinting for him not to act recklessly.
"Uh!" Niu Youdao stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him. "Yes, I am. May I know who you are?"
Kun Linshu replied proudly, "Kun Linshu from the Heavenly Fire Order!"
"Oh!" Niu Youdao quickly cupped his hands and smiled. "It's an honor to meet you. What can I do for you?"
In reality, he had never heard of this person before. Who the hell knew who this person was? This was his first time hearing about him and meeting him.
However, the situation was beyond his control. If he did not want to court death, he would have to be more courteous. Twisting his neck and acting like a bastard was simply courting death. He was not one to gamble on his luck.
Kun Linshu replied, "I've also heard a lot about you." Niu Youdao wanted to continue being courteous but Kun Linshu had already tilted his head and said, "Let's talk later. You should attend to your business first."
"Alright!" Niu Youdao smiled and nodded. He turned to Pei Sanniang and asked, "Sister Pei, may I know who the master is this time?"
Pei Sanniang pointed to the man from the Great Qiu Clan. "My Senior Brother, Qin Yong!"
Niu Youdao stepped forward and humbly asked, "Senior Qin, what should we do next?"
Kun Linshu squinted at him, full of disdain for his humble attitude.
Qin Yong calmly replied, "That's your business. You can auction it however you want. We don't care. However, please be quick. We don't have time to waste with you. "
Niu Youdao was taken aback for a moment. Then, he nodded repeatedly. He turned around and exchanged a glance with Linghu Qiu. Then, he walked to the stairs outside the pavilion, and took out the official document from his sleeve in front of everyone. After that, he walked to the front of a group of unidentified onlookers, and began to distribute the official documents one by one.
The people from the three sects in the pavilion looked at each other, not knowing what he was up to.
Those who received the documents were also at a loss, not knowing what he was doing.
After he was done distributing the items, Niu Youdao returned to the stairs and cupped his fists at the crowd. "The master of the Great Hill Clan has asked me to do it as soon as possible, so I won't waste everyone's time. First of all, thank you very much for coming. Secondly, the items have been distributed to everyone. Please verify the authenticity of the items."
There was a slight commotion at the scene. Those who had gotten their hands on the items began to flip them over and over, or whisper to the people around them.
There were actually not many people who had seen the exit document of the warhorse. Many people could not tell if it was real or fake, but they believed that it could not be fake. The people from the three sects had all come forward, so it was unlikely that they would make a fake document to deceive people.
Niu Youdao stood on the steps and waited. He was not afraid that someone would take the things and run away. If someone really dared to do so, he would be glad to see that. Then, he would have nothing to do with it.
In the end, he was a little disappointed. No one had the guts to snatch it in front of the three sects. Instead, they sent it back one after another.
Holding the ten documents, Niu Youdao walked down the steps again. He divided the documents into three piles. Two of them were stacks of three, and one of them was stacks of four. He grabbed three stones and pressed them down.
After he got up, he went back to the steps and pointed at the three documents. "Three, three, four! Long story short, let's start the auction. We'll start with the first three documents on the left. The starting price is one million gold coins. The highest bidder can just pay up and take the items. This is a fair deal! The starting price for the first auction is one million gold coins. Fifty thousand gold coins for each bid. Is there anyone who wants to make a bid? "
After waiting for a while, no one made a sound, and no one stepped forward.
Niu Youdao shouted again, "Those who don't want to speak, raise your hand!"
No one raised their hand. Niu Youdao noticed that many people were looking at him.
He turned around and saw the people from the three sects standing in the pavilion behind him. They were all expressionless, which was quite scary.
He understood a little. The people from the three sects had escorted him here, and they were all standing here. The bidders must have felt a little nervous.
"Lower the price!" Niu Youdao shouted and pointed at the first document on the ground. "The starting price is ten thousand gold coins. Ten thousand gold coins for each bid. Is there anyone who wants it? Raise your hand if you want it! "
The disciples from the three sects were speechless. Pei Sanniang had the urge to roll her eyes.
Linghu Qiu's face twitched. He realized that the price had been lowered a little too much. One million gold coins had been reduced to ten thousand gold coins. He was really unscrupulous in order to get rid of the items!
An exit document for thirty thousand warhorses only cost ten thousand gold coins. This was practically giving away their money. It would be a lie to say that they were not tempted. Many people started whispering to each other.
Someone gave a look to a certain someone. The latter nodded slightly and raised his hand!
Niu Youdao was overjoyed. He did not ask if there was anyone else who wanted to raise the price. Fearing that the other party would go back on his word, he immediately pointed and shouted, "Good! Deal! The first item is yours! "
Everyone's eyes followed the direction of his finger. The person who was pointed at looked left and right slowly. He did not expect that he would get the deal so quickly. It was so fast that even he was shocked. With so many people watching, he was under a lot of pressure!
Niu Youdao rushed down the stairs excitedly. He picked up the first item and walked over to the other party. He separated the crowd and walked up to the other party. He personally handed the item to the other party. He waved his hand and said, "Pay up. Ten thousand gold coins!"
"…" The person stood rooted to the ground. He was speechless.
Niu Youdao's face darkened. "Friend, you can't go back on your word after you bid for it. Are you here to cause trouble?" He was obviously using the power of the three sects to intimidate the other party.
Linghu Qiu raised his hand to wipe his face. He could not stand this brother of his. Why did it feel like this brother of his was forcing him to buy the item?
The other party felt helpless. He looked at the people in the pavilion who seemed to be glaring at him. He reached into his pocket and took out a gold note.
Niu Youdao did not want to waste time with him. He immediately grabbed the gold note and examined it. After confirming that there was no problem, he immediately announced, "Money and goods are cleared!"
He turned around and ran back to the stairs. He pointed to the second item and said loudly, "The starting price is still ten thousand gold coins. Anyone want it?"
Among the crowd, the person who had won the item quickly left the crowd. At the same time, dozens of people followed him out. It was obvious that they protected the person. When they reached the cliff, they all jumped into the lake and disappeared. No one knew where they went.
Looking at the situation, it was obvious that this group of people were in cahoots. They felt that the exit documents for thirty thousand warhorses were enough. They were afraid of getting into trouble and quickly left.
Everyone watched them leave. After waiting for a while, there were no abnormalities on the surface of the lake. It was obvious that they had really taken the item away. The atmosphere of the auction changed. It became livelier. People could be seen exchanging glances with each other.
Soon, someone quickly raised his hand!
Niu Youdao pointed happily, "Alright, it's you …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Yong suddenly interrupted, "Niu Youdao, since this is an auction, you should give others a chance to bid!"
Although he had agreed to not interfere and allow Niu Youdao to bid however he wanted, he had no choice but to stop Niu Youdao.
However, given the current situation, he had no choice but to stop Niu Youdao. It was obvious that Niu Youdao was in a hurry to sell the item, but the Great Hill Sect was different. They had agreed that Niu Youdao would not receive any money from the auction. The money would be split among the three sects.
If Niu Youdao continued to do this, the price of the exit documents for the ten thousand warhorses would not even be enough to cover their expenses, let alone the three sects.
Although there was an ulterior motive for this auction, Qin Yong could not bear to watch Niu Youdao's way of doing things. He had no choice but to raise his voice to stop him.
Kunlin Shu, who was in the pavilion, snorted. With a mocking expression, he muttered faintly, "What a clown!"
Niu Youdao turned to look at Qin Yong. When he faced the crowd again, he immediately changed his words. "Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price? Ten thousand gold coins, going once! "
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately raised his hand. He quickly shouted, "Twenty thousand gold coins, is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?"
"Thirty thousand gold coins …"
"Alright, someone has offered forty thousand gold coins …"
The price continued to rise. Niu Youdao was starting to regret his decision to raise the price by ten thousand gold coins. His mouth was already dry from all the shouting.
Fortunately, when the price reached two million gold coins, no one else raised their hand.
It was not that it was not worth the price, but everyone had their own concerns. First of all, they were worried about whether they would be able to bring the item away after spending so much money. Secondly, if they exposed too much money in front of so many people, it was also a risk.
Niu Youdao did not care so much and immediately agreed to the deal. He turned to Linghu Qiu and waved his hand. "Second Brother, help me collect the money!"
As soon as he said this, many people stared at Linghu Qiu.
Niu Youdao had the intention to expose their relationship in front of everyone and drag Linghu Qiu down with him. Naturally, he would not miss such a good opportunity to show his face.
The corner of Linghu Qiu's mouth twitched, but he could not refuse or deny the relationship between the two. He could only put on a fake smile and walk out of the pavilion to help collect the money. In front of everyone, he counted the money from the bidders.
After collecting the money, he nodded at Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao immediately shouted again, "The last one, the exit documents for the forty thousand warhorses. The starting price is two million gold coins, going once with a hundred thousand gold coins!"
Another group of people quickly left the auction hall. It seemed like they were from the same group.
After watching the group of people jump off the cliff and disappear into the lake, the crowd turned back and someone immediately raised his hand.
"Alright, two million gold coins. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price …"
The price rose again. It was unknown if it was because this was the last one, but the price reached four million gold coins before stopping.
Niu Youdao had nothing else to say. He immediately cleared the debt.
The bidder paid the money, took the item, and left immediately. Another group of people jumped off the cliff and disappeared into the lake.
Seeing that Linghu Qiu had returned with the money, Niu Youdao immediately cupped his hands to the crowd and said, "Thank you for your support. The auction is now over. You may leave or stay as you please!"
Some of the people in the auction hall left, while others left to observe the reactions of the people in the pavilion. No one knew what their intentions were.
Niu Youdao ignored them and returned to the pavilion with a stack of gold notes. He handed it to Qin Yong with both hands and said, "Senior Qin, please count it."
Qin Yong tilted his head and gestured to Pei Sanniang. Pei Sanniang immediately took the stack of gold notes and counted them.
"You sold the exit documents for thirty thousand warhorses for ten thousand gold notes. You are really something." Qin Yong snorted coldly at Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao had his reasons. He smiled bitterly and cupped his hands. "Senior, you saw the situation just now. If I don't sell it cheaply for everyone to see, no one will dare to bid for it!"
Qin Yong couldn't be bothered to argue with him. "This is none of your business. You can get lost now!"
