Shi Jiu did not continue shopping, but walked towards Fengbaozhai.
Now the entire Tonglin City is in excitement and heated discussion because of the upcoming auction in the evening. Almost everyone in the streets and alleys knows that something big will happen today. For this reason, the five major sects who rule Tonglin City are even more mobilized. We have reduced manpower and have stepped up patrols on all major roads. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be immediately arrested and sent to the City Lord's Mansion Prison.
Although Tonglin City has a city lord's palace, each city lord is jointly appointed by the five strongest sects in Longnan County. Therefore, in Tonglin City and even Longnan County, Jianxiao Pavilion, Ludangu, Linyi Gang, Liuyun Sect and The five sects of Tonglin Palace are the top managers. Almost no one dares to be arrogant here and will abide by the rules set by the five sects.
Shi Jiu walked along the way, and the closer he got to Fengbaozhai, the more people from the sect on the road, all of them had excited expressions and were all talking. Shi Jiu didn't want to attract too much attention, so he walked with his head down, took a detour to the back door of Fengbaozhai, showed the purple token to the guard, and entered Fengbaozhai.
Even though it was the back door, there were still a large number of people gathered here. After seeing Shi Jiu entering Fengbaozhai holding a purple token, the onlookers immediately became uneasy.
"Eh? How can a young man enter Fengbaozhai? Then why aren't we allowed in?" someone from the crowd of onlookers asked, with annoyance in their tone.
This rhetorical question, which ignited the atmosphere of the scene, immediately exploded in the crowd, and the onlookers immediately surrounded Fengbaozhai.
"That young man was able to go in just now, why didn't you let me wait? You, Feng Baozhai, are being partial, and we don't accept it!" Someone among the people standing at the front of the crowd immediately asked the guard.
"Can you compete with him? The man just now is a distinguished guest of my Fengbaozhai. He holds a purple gold token, so he can enter. Do you have one? If not, then go back!" The guard responsible for guarding the door shouted sternly.
"What? That young man just now was a distinguished guest of Fengbaozhai? Is it true or false?"
"I just seemed to see him showing a purple token. Is the other party really a distinguished guest of Fengbaozhai?" The crowd surrounding him became confused.
"I also saw it. Since he is a distinguished guest, why didn't he go through the front door instead of the back door?"
"I guess I want to keep a low profile and don't want anyone to identify me."
"That makes sense."
"Okay, all of you, please stay away from the gate of Fengbaozhai. This place will be cleared later and no one is allowed to set foot there!" the guard shouted again.
"Why? You Fengbaozhai are too domineering!" someone said dissatisfied.
"Okay, how can you offend Fengbaozhai? Even the five sects in Tonglin City don't dare to make irresponsible remarks to Fengbaozhai, they are all polite, let alone you? Is it possible that the person behind you Can the power still be comparable to that of the five major sects?" At this time, someone immediately tried to persuade him, but his tone was somewhat contemptuous of the other party.
Five minutes later, the road to the back entrance of Fengbaozhai was cleared, and the onlookers were squeezed into the teahouse on the opposite side of the road. Everyone was angry, but there was nothing they could do.
"Do you think the young man from before also went towards the last lot?" someone asked in the teahouse.
"It goes without saying that any of the big shots who participate in everything are not there for the final auction? But that young man probably won't participate. He should be a spectator."
"Why? Didn't you hear what the guard said? That young man is a distinguished guest of Fengbaozhai." Someone immediately retorted.
"You are so stupid. The other party is a distinguished guest of Fengbaozhai at a young age. It is obviously given by the forces behind him. That young man must have followed the forces behind him. When the time comes, it will be the forces behind him that really take action. , the young man just watched. "
"Yes, that makes sense. This must be the case." Everyone nodded.
None of them believed that the young man could become a distinguished guest of Fengbaozhai on his own. He had never done so before and would never do so now.
But the fact is the opposite. Shi Jiu has no power to rely on. He relied on his own strength to become a distinguished guest of Fengbaozhai, and the help of the Great Red Sword Emperor was indispensable.
After returning to Fengbaozhai, Shi Jiu stayed in his small courtyard and waited for night.
It was still early, so Shi Jiu took out Chang Lin's notes and started reading. However, he didn't look for long when the maid from Fengbaozhai came in and asked Shi Jiu to come to the pavilion to talk.
"The auction is tonight, why does Miss Yan'er still have time to chat with me?" Shi Jiu was also curious after hearing the other party's invitation.
"That's what my young lady ordered. I hope the young master can go." The maid said respectfully.
"Miss Yan'er invites you. I'll go there and lead the way." Shi Jiu closed the book in his hand, and then the maid led the way to the appointment place.
Ten minutes later, Shi Jiu followed the maid who led the way to the place where he had an appointment with Jin Yuner.
At this time, Jin Yuner had already filled a glass of jade wine for Shi Jiu.
"Sit down, it's ready." Jin Yan'er smiled.
"Thank you very much. I wonder why Miss Yan'er wants to see me?" Shi Jiu sat down and said with a smile, "Tonight is the auction, but Miss Yan'er still has time to find me?"
"Is there any problem with the auction? I'm asking you this time about what I asked you last time?" Jin Yuner said with a smile.
"Oh? Which thing?"
"Some time ago, someone in Gulanhai snatched the Yuxinzhu from Fire Fist Sect and Shuitian Pavilion." Jin Yuner said softly, and at the same time raised her head and glanced at Shi Jiu.
"Well, Miss Yan'er did ask me about this a few days ago. I just heard about it at that time." Shi Jiu said calmly, but his heart was moved.
Kim Yuna would never mention it again without reason, and she must have known something before tonight's auction.
"I received news this morning that Huo Meng from the Fire Fist Sect personally went to Yuxin Island to investigate the matter thoroughly, and then they seemed to have found the murderer." Jin Yuner lightly touched the wine glass with her finger and whispered.
"Oh? Have you found the murderer? Who is it? Do I know him?" Shi Jiu asked "eagerly".
"To be precise, we have confirmed who the murderer is, but the person has not been caught yet." Jin Yuner stared at Shi Jiu and then replied.
"Who is it?" This time Shi Jiu's expression was no longer calm, but rather stern.
Jin Yuner saw Shi Jiu's reaction in her eyes.
"It was a person they thought was dead, but he appeared again." Jin Yuner said with a smile, without specifying who it was.
"Miss Yan'er, who is that person? Do I know him?" Shi Jiu regained his composure, but Jin Yuner's expression showed that the other person knew who it was, which made Shi Jiu's heart sink.
"Of course you know him. That person's name is Shi Jiu." Jin Yuner stared at Shi Jiu and then gave her answer.
"Is this your guess or Huo Meng's confirmation?" Shi Jiu was a little unwilling to give up. What he did at that time could be said to be flawless, and it was impossible for the other party to detect it.
"This is what Huo Meng said, because he confirmed your flying wings." Jin Yuner said again.
Hearing this, Shi Jiu's pupils shrank, and then his face immediately darkened.
"Sure enough, it's still a matter of distance!" Shi Jiu was speechless in his heart.
It turns out to be a flying wing, no wonder.
Previously in Moluo Cave, Shi Jiu had used flying wings, which Huo Meng had seen. Later, when he was on Yuxin Island, Shi Jiu also used flying wings when he snatched Yu Xin Bead. It was very likely that he was attacked by Huo Fist at that time. The person at the door wrote it down and then told Huo Meng who went to investigate. Finally, Huo Meng confirmed that the person who robbed their Yu Xin Bead was Shi Jiu.
"Last time I asked you, you still refused to admit it honestly. There is no need for me to ask you now. Your robbery of Yu Xinzhu has been exposed. What are your plans now?" Jin Yuner's tone was heavy with complaint, but she was still concerned. asked.
"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. We are our mortal enemies. Am I still afraid that they will not be wanted?" Now that the Fire Fist Sect knows, the Shuitian Pavilion will also know, and Shi Jiu has nothing to worry about. The worst is that he will not go to Lan in the future. Haijun.
"That's right. At worst, if you don't go to Lanhai County, you won't be able to meet them." Jin Yan'er nodded.
At least until now, Shi Jiu is alone. Jin Yuner has not investigated the specific origin of Shi Jiu before, and does not know the background behind him.
"But I want to remind you that the Fire Fist Sect Master and Shuitian Pavilion Master will also participate in tonight's auction. They must also know that you robbed their Yu Xin Bead. Although you are wearing the mask I gave you, they will not I will definitely recognize you, but if you use Yu Xinzhu to bid for items at the auction, you may be discovered by them." This time, Jin Yuner said seriously.
"Well, I know this. Thank you Miss Yan'er for reminding me!" Shi Jiu said sincerely.
Jin Yan'er's actions made Shi Jiu feel grateful. To be honest, Shi Jiu has not had many friends since he came to the underworld. Except for the people from Tahou Village, Jin Yuner is one, and the Da Chi Sword Emperor is his teacher and relative. In addition, there is Hao Yun, but they don't get along for long. , can only be regarded as a casual acquaintance.
"Well, no matter what, you'd better be careful. Okay, I'll leave first. See you tonight." Jin Yan'er smiled brightly, then drank the wine in the glass and left first.
At this time, only Shi Jiu was left in the pavilion, and he was drinking wine quietly.
"I didn't expect that Huo Meng was quite capable and actually found me. It's a pity that you don't know where I am. But we will meet again in half a year, and then our accounts will be settled together."
After drinking the wine in the glass, Shi Jiu called the maid, then got up and headed to the main venue of tonight's auction.
Shi Jiu followed the maid who led the way to a magnificent hall.
"Sir, this Treasure Competition Hall will be the venue for tonight's auction." The maid on the side said respectfully.
After listening to the maid's introduction, Shi Jiu raised his head and looked at the magnificent hall in front of him.
"It's so high!" Shi Jiu couldn't help but sigh.
This main hall is also the tallest building in Tonglin City. It is grander than the city lord's palace. It is at least a hundred feet high. It is made of marble and is very majestic. It can be seen anywhere in Tonglin City. If it is the first time. When you come to Tonglin City, you will definitely be shocked by its grandeur.
