Si Wu Xing - a land of black and white chaos. During the day, this is a well-established and formally operated department store. At night, this is a black market where everything can be sold freely.
And on certain special days, it becomes a holy place that monks from Fuyun Island flock to. The upper class are all proud to be members of this society.
It can be said that this trading house has been standing on Fuyun Island for nearly a hundred years.
It sounds like a long time, but in fact these are almost the youngest group on Fuyun Island. Even a random noodle shop on the street may last longer than Si Wuxing, which has been run for thousands of years and generations.
Floating Cloud Island has very little mobility, ah no, maybe it should be said that there is almost no such thing as population mobility. The monks who live here are more able to settle for a job, so they are not so miserable on this small island with scarce resources.
So in general, Fuyun Island can be said to be a place where aristocratic families are numerous and the forces are divided. Many industries have been controlled by various aristocratic families a long time ago.
An example like Si Wuxing that appeared out of nowhere within a hundred years... is simply a fantasy. But this fantasy has become a fact, and in less than a hundred years, it has taken a bite out of the market controlled by major aristocratic families.
Besides, since the advent of such a thing fifty years ago, Wuwuxing has been completely victorious.
From then on, Lianwu City had nothing to do but go around. It drank soup and meat, and no one else could even pick up the dregs. Si Wuxing has since become the leading trading firm in Lianwu City.
The status of this small, shabby store with an unassuming appearance is naturally inseparable from the owner behind it. Thinking about it with his nose, he knew that this must be an extremely powerful person.
The aristocratic families in Lianwu City once thought that the so-called owner was actually the island owner, Mrs. Hong Ji, or a related person.
After all, this shop is running so smoothly and killing everyone without any scruples. Even if you say that it has nothing to do with the boss, no one will believe it. But after a large-scale search launched by greedy wolves, everyone felt that it didn't look like it...
That Greedy Wolf is the bodyguard of Mrs. Hong Ji. Why did the island owner send someone to investigate him?
But it is a pity that even the powerful and greedy man in Fuyun Island cannot do anything to this small business. The big search that they had heard about came to an end without any splash. In the end, they found nothing and had no choice but to leave.
Miraculously, Si Wu Xing, once again, became the winning side.
Nearly a hundred years have passed, and everyone on Fuyun Island has still not figured out who the owner of Si Wuxing is. The owner of Si Wuxing has never appeared in front of everyone, leaving a vague and hazy impression on everyone, becoming more and more mysterious.
I have an appointment tonight. It has almost become a common saying among people who care about it.
On this ordinary yet extraordinary night, everyone on Fuyun Island ushered in the grand event they had been waiting for.
It was late at night, and the monks who had been out late were starting to prepare to return home. But there were such a group of people in the city, who put on heavy cloaks and veils to cover their faces, said goodbye to their wives and children, left home, and went to a country of night.
Ningxia and others are also among them. However, they don't go directly to Siwuhang to queue up, they also need to go through a special passage.
They got the invitation letter from Zhao Xue, so they naturally had to go through the Zhao family's passage. This was what Zhao Xue had agreed upon when he sold the invitation, and Ningxia and the others could follow the Zhao family's passage.
Speaking of this, I have to mention a certain rule that Siwuhang auctions have always had. It is impossible to go alone, and attendees must pass through a special passage to descend to the auction site.
Siwuhang usually distributes these special passages to major families for screening purposes. If you want to set foot on the land of this auction, you must go through the hands of major families. Therefore, even if some people get the invitation letter, they may not be able to participate in this auction.
In addition, there is another way for them to participate through some group organizations.
Just pay a large fee and take this organization to the auction site of Siwuhang. This will also avoid the prying eyes of certain aristocratic families. Some people with inconvenient status will prefer this method.
But Ningxia's luck is pretty good. Although this Zhao Xue is a dandy with no knowledge or skill, his advantage is that he has a good character, he did not dig holes secretly, and he also got a free ride. There is no need for Ningxia to spend another sum of spiritual stones.
They arrived at Zhao's house as promised, and when they stood at the door, they were a little worried that the other party would not admit it. As a result, the concierge greeted me with a smile not long after entering, saying that he wanted to invite distinguished guests in.
Ningxia and the others met the young master of the Zhao family, who was Zhao Xue's brother. Speaking of which, this is really a fantasy question, why are brothers so different?
Looking at the cold young man in front of him, his eyebrows were calm and his demeanor was reserved, he looked like a noble young man. Is he really that Zhao Xue's brother?
Zhao Xue knew the person who sold her invitations. I had only met him once, and I could already tell that he was a rich, stupid, and easily seen-through dandy.
But the one in front of me, who is said to belong to my brother, is not so easy to deal with just by looking at it.
How could a wolf and a sheep be accommodated in one den? Ningxia was a little confused.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao." Ning Xia nodded to the other party very freely and gave a flat salute.
"Welcome to our Zhao family. Dear guests, please forgive me for my slightness." Zhao Ting returned the greeting. Although he looked cold and arrogant, he was surprisingly approachable.
This was the first friendly family member Ningxia met after coming to Fuyun Island.
The people I met before were either idiots or troublemakers, including the super eye-catching Long Aotian series. I have never seen a young master from an aristocratic family with such a normal style of painting.
Little did he know that the young master of this aristocratic family... was naturally not so approachable. The reason why people are so polite is because Ningxia helped his younger brother Zhao Xue.
"Why don't you see Fellow Taoist Zhao Xue?" Ning Xia looked around and didn't see anyone who was supposed to be there, feeling a little strange.
"My brother made a big mistake and has already entered the solitary room to think about it. Fellow Daoist Ning may not be able to see him in a short time."
"Unfortunately."
But then she thought about it, that guy had already incurred a huge debt, and it was time for him to reflect.
Ning Xia was surprised that the Zhao family had a good family tradition, and they were not like those "Long Aotian" parents outside who pampered her to death and spawned a bunch of spoilers.
The two of them didn't talk much after that. Without saying much, they were led into the courtyard.
There were people waiting in the yard.
They were two guys who were even more well-dressed than they were. They were wearing thick, floor-length cloaks and hats that covered their entire faces, leaving no skin exposed.
Ningxia couldn't understand how these two people could see the road clearly.
They stood there quietly, neither approaching nor moving, probably waiting for Ningxia and the others to pass by.
"These two are masters of Si Wuxing." Ning Xia heard Zhao Ting introduce: "They will conduct routine inspections after a while. If everything is correct, they can go to the venue through that formation."
