Ten days later.
Auction City.
This ancient capital city located in the Second Heaven was originally unknown in the heavenly world. However, a thousand years ago, Tianque headquarters decided to set up a new trading place here to relieve Tianque's sales pressure.
But this newly established trading place welcomed its seventh general manager, Su Xuan, thirty years ago. Since then, the auction house has grown strongly under her leadership.
It only took Su Xuan fifteen years to make the auction house, which was completely dependent on Tianque for its survival, completely independent. Although Tianque was wary of her, due to her growing influence in the heaven, they had no choice but to compromise.
In the end, Su Xuan agreed to the suggestion that the auction house accept the resident elder appointed by Tianque. However, all the sales and purchases in the auction house, except for the major transactions that would affect the fundamental interests of Tianque, were all controlled by Su Xuan.
At the same time, after the auction house provides Tianque with sufficient income every ten years, they can freely dispose of other wealth.
Therefore, Su Xuan secretly cultivated a force that belonged only to the auction house. Of course, there were also many strong people who joined the auction house because they admired her.
As a result, the auction house's status in the heaven has also become very important, and Su Xuan's own cultivation strength has become even more unfathomable.
It is said that seven years ago, Su Xuan seriously injured a fourth-level martial arts expert who wantonly disrupted the rules of the auction city. Since then, no one has dared to act wild in the auction city.
Therefore, Su Xuan is not only a famous figure in the heaven, but also her cultivation is recognized as one of the strongest below the third level.
Yunyan had been quietly listening to Langda's story about the auction house along the way. From the founding of this ancient city to its prosperity, the history of this ancient city, which spanned more than a thousand years, was recounted by Langda from his limited memory.
However, Zhou Ying, who was sitting next to Yun Yan, was obviously not very interested in these things, because almost all the glorious history of the entire auction city existed in the past thirty years, and the person who single-handedly created these thirty years of glory was her. The most annoying Su Xuan.
Yes, Zhou Ying hates Su Xuan very much. She doesn't know why. Ever since she first met Su Xuan, every time she mentioned this woman, Zhou Ying always felt a dislike for her from the bottom of her heart.
Perhaps it was because Rhonda was too immersed in talking, so when he told Su Xuan's deeds, his face always revealed a kind of uncontrollable admiration and respect for her, but this made Zhou Ying more and more intolerable.
"What's so great about her is that she has a charming look. I really don't understand what those fools who are obsessed with her are planning to do. Could it be that these idiots really think that charming girl will have any sincerity towards them."
Hearing Zhou Ying's shameless humiliation of Su Xuan, Rhonda was really worried about her.
"Miss, we haven't entered the city yet, and the people in the car are all close associates of our Zhou family, so it doesn't matter if you just say a few words.
But once we enter the sphere of influence of the auction house, you'd better be careful in your words and deeds, otherwise if someone with ulterior motives overhears it, it may be extremely detrimental to us. I hope that the eldest lady will do this. Notice. "
"You don't need to remind me. Big brother has to say it a dozen times before he goes to town. It's not annoying enough. Fortunately, he doesn't want to come this time. You are even more verbose than him."
Zhou Ying replied impatiently.
After being taught a lesson by her, Rhonda looked helplessly and turned to Yun Yan aside. Of course, he wanted Yun Yan to help persuade Zhou Ying, otherwise it might not end well if he really caused trouble.
Yun Yan understood what Rhonda meant, so he turned around and said to Zhou Ying with a smile.
"Yinger, how old do you think Su Xuan is?"
"I don't know, but he's older than me anyway."
Hearing Yun Yan's question, Zhou Ying didn't quite understand what he meant, so he answered directly. However, Yun Yan continued to ask with a smile.
"What about her cultivation talent?"
Zhou Ying then replied doubtfully.
"Didn't Rhonda just say it? She was able to defeat a strong man at the fourth level of martial arts seven years ago, so her own cultivation must have surpassed the fourth level of martial arts.
Moreover, everyone recognizes her strength. Judging from this, her cultivation talent should be pretty good. However, Brother Yun, why are you asking this? You don’t want to deliberately anger me. "
Seeing Zhou Ying's suspicious expression, Yun Yan shook her head and said.
"I just want to tell you that you don't really hate her."
"No, I just hate her because she's so..."
When the words came to her lips, Zhou Ying suddenly didn't know what to say, because she found that she was even more annoying when she continued to quibble after being exposed.
In fact, Zhou Ying knew very well that most of her dislike for Su Xuan stemmed from some strange psychology, but she was determined not to admit that it was simply envy and jealousy.
Yun Yan knew enough to understand, and he didn't think that Zhou Ying was useless compared to Su Xuan. At least her frankness and honesty were beyond the reach of Su Xuan, who was scheming and needed to control a force.
Of course, this explanation is a bit far-fetched, but if she wants to persuade Zhou Ying, Yun Yan must first come up with a suitable reason.
So, he smiled happily.
"Fortunately, we are not her enemies. Otherwise, we would have had a headache when we encountered such a ruthless character who was scheming and good at calculating others."
Hearing Yun Yan's words, Zhou Ying immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"You are absolutely right. She has deep thoughts. Therefore, we must be more careful. Brother Yun, I have thought about it. When we go to see her, you must listen to me in everything."
Yun Yan asked confusedly after hearing this.
"Why?"
Just listen to Zhou Ying's serious reply.
"Brother Yun, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that Hu Meizi is too charming. I'm worried that you will also be deceived by her. When the time comes, it may be impossible for us to negotiate a fair deal with her."
Yun Yan smiled slightly awkwardly.
“When we were invited to the auction house this time, the most important thing was to renegotiate our previous transaction agreement. I will never forget this.
As for how charming Ms. Su is, it has nothing to do with her bringing harm to all sentient beings. Besides, with her current power and status, she will naturally not take a nobody like me seriously.
So, don’t worry, I will only be responsible for ensuring that I won’t be ripped off by them again when talking about the true value of Lumen Stone. "
Zhou Ying knew that Yunyan was fully prepared for this negotiation, so she was not worried about the transaction itself, but it was Yunyan herself who made her a little worried.
After all, there were enough men obsessed with Su Xuan in this third heaven, and she didn't want Yun Yan to become one of them.
So, Zhou Ying turned back and looked at Yun Yan affectionately and said.
"Brother Yun, you have to promise me that you will never forget the purpose of our trip just because that Hu Meizi shows her favor to you, let alone lose your principles when negotiating a deal."
Yun Yan couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
"Ying'er, are you a little too anxious? Manager Su and I have never met each other, let alone have any friendship. Besides, I am poor and ignorant, so she has no reason to show her kindness to me."
However, Zhou Ying still said reluctantly.
"Anyway, I'm just worried. Brother Yun, please promise me."
So Yun Yan could only answer helplessly.
"Okay, okay, I promise you, no matter how charming Manager Su is, I will never sell you out."
After hearing this, Zhou Yingcai smiled with satisfaction.
"I believe Brother Yun that you won't take that Hu Meizi to heart, hee hee."
At this time, Rhonda opposite couldn't help coughing twice, and turned her eyes to Zhou Ying, but before he could speak, Zhou Ying said with an unhappy face.
"Stop it. I will be careful about my words and deeds before entering the city. You don't have to repeat it again."
But Rhonda replied with an embarrassed look.
"We have just entered the Auction City's sphere of influence, and now we are less than half a day away from entering the city."
"Ah, why didn't you tell me earlier, Rhonda, Rhonda, I said you are such a fool. You said a lot of things you shouldn't have said, but you didn't say a word of what you should have said."
After hearing Rhonda's report, Zhou Ying quickly lifted the curtain hanging outside the car window and peeked out a few times secretly. After making sure there was no one nearby, she sighed and slowly sat back in the car.
However, just after she had just settled down, a shout came from outside the window.
"parking!"
Suddenly, the luxurious carriage running on the avenue with two horse carriages took less than two breaths to completely stop from the galloping state just now.
As for the three people in the car, the situation at the moment was a bit less optimistic. Since Rhonda had the lowest cultivation level, he was almost thrown out of the car.
However, Yun Yan reacted immediately, so he didn't look too embarrassed, and Zhou Ying had already fallen into Yun Yan's arms.
Although Zhou Ying was not injured at all under Yun Yan's best efforts, when she straightened up and opened the curtains, she heard a sharp and harsh question.
"You idiot, how do you drive!"
Hearing Zhou Ying's scolding, the coachman quickly explained.
"Miss, someone suddenly blocked the road in front of me. I almost didn't stop the car, which frightened the lady. I deserve to die."
Zhou Ying looked up and saw two well-dressed men standing in front of the car. From their attire, Zhou Ying could tell at a glance that they were from the auction house.
So, she raised the curtains a little higher, stuck her head out of the window and asked the two men.
"What are you doing? This is how the auction house entertains guests!"
When the two well-dressed men saw that the person in the car was Zhou Ying, they immediately stepped forward, clasped their fists and said apologetically.
"We didn't know that it was Miss Zhou from Beishan Mine who was in the car. Please forgive me for offending. It's just that martial law has been enforced in the city recently. Deacon Zhu ordered us to conduct interrogations of vehicles entering the city. However, since this is Miss Zhou, you The frame, then we will let it go.”
After hearing this, Zhou Ying said with an unhappy look.
"Okay, okay, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."
Then, she ordered to the coachman.
"Just go into the city before dark. Don't rush to get reincarnated. The car will almost turn over for you."
"Yes, yes, I understand."
After receiving the order, the driver drove slowly towards the auction city.
At the same time, a strange smile appeared on the faces of the two well-dressed men standing there.
