Chapter 173 The mysterious person
"Yes, yes, but I always feel a little strange. Let's not be fooled." Lin Fenghuo scratched his head and said.
"Is there anyone else who bids?" the old man asked, "two thousand taels once, two thousand taels twice."
"Three thousand taels!" Yi Xifeng vaguely felt that there was something unusual about this jade pendant, so he couldn't help but bid.
Lin Fenghuo said anxiously: "Hey, madman, I only brought five hundred taels with me when I went out this time. If you call me three thousand, how will you pay later?"
"If you hadn't told me earlier, I would still have two thousand taels with me."
Lin Fenghuo was the second generation of rich people. Even if Yinren died, his family would still be rich. However, Yi Xifeng never expected that the young master would come out with only five hundred taels of silver in his pocket, so he couldn't help but feel in trouble.
"If this person stops shouting, we won't have money to pay the bill." Lin Fenghuo said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man shouted: "Five thousand taels!"
Everyone was shocked by the asking price. What is the origin of this jade pendant? This middle-aged man wanted it so much. However, neither of them had enough money now. They wanted to bid, but it was no longer possible. They could only watch helplessly. Watching the jade pendant being photographed away by a middle-aged man.
"Is there anyone else who bids?" the old man asked, "five thousand taels once, five thousand taels twice, five thousand..."
"Six thousand taels!" a rich voice shouted.
The two couldn't help but look at the man, and saw a short man wearing a white robe. Even his head was wrapped in white cloth, only a pair of eyes were exposed. He sounded quite old.
"Hiding it deep enough, I only made the bid now. Now there's something good to watch." Lin Fenghuo said, "Crazy man, although we can't take a photo of this jade pendant, we still have to wait and see if this jade pendant can be called." How much is it? Do you think it’s ten thousand taels?”
Yi Xifeng nodded, and then he and Lin Fenghuo waited quietly for the middle-aged man to bid. Sure enough, the latter refused to be outdone and said: "Seven thousand taels!"
The mysterious man snorted: "Eight thousand taels!"
"Nine thousand taels!"
"Ten thousand taels!"
"twelve thousand!"
"..."
After that, the two of them yelled at each other for a high price, neither giving in to the other, which made people stunned. After a while, the mysterious man actually asked for thirty thousand taels for this jade pendant. The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, moved his lips a few times, and shouted again Said "Thirty-two thousand!"
The mysterious man sneered, and seeing that the middle-aged man was at the end of his strength, he said: "Thirty-five thousand!"
The middle-aged man closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, then stood up suddenly, glared at the mysterious man, and walked away. Seeing him like this, everyone couldn't help laughing in unison. Lin Fenghuo clicked his tongue and said: "This inconspicuous person Broken Jade Pendant actually shouted thirty-five thousand, it seems we made a mistake."
The old man also did not expect that this jade pendant could be sold for such a high price. His face, which had always been calm, could be seen with joy at this time. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, obviously suppressing a smile, and then said: "Thirty-five thousand once, three times." Twice in 10,005, three times in 35,000, deal!"
This is true. When the old man finally called out the price, he deliberately called it very slowly. He was obviously waiting for someone with more financial resources to bid. Unfortunately, the result was not what he expected. The price was only thirty-five thousand. , enough for him to laugh out loud in his dreams.
After the mysterious man paid the money and successfully obtained the jade pendant, he left the auction house. Yi Xifeng and Lin Fenghuo watched the auction and were almost interested, so they walked out. As soon as they left the Sifang Hall, a stone suddenly hit them. They flew over, Yi Xifeng had quick eyes and quick hands, and with a flick of his sleeves he made the stones fall.
The two looked in the direction and found that it was the mysterious man. The latter was standing not far away. The three of them looked at each other. The mysterious man winked and turned away. Yi Xifeng and Lin Fenghuo felt that No, so he followed him quietly until he entered a dark alley.
The mysterious man suddenly stopped, but still did not turn around. Lin Fenghuo asked: "I wonder what senior wants from us?"
The man did not speak, but slowly turned around and walked towards the two of them. Lin Fenghuo was alert for a moment and was about to raise the green fire knife, but Yi Xifeng realized that the other party did not have any malicious intent, so he took action After stopping his companion, the mysterious man got closer and closer to the two of them.
Just when the two sides were still one step away, the mysterious man suddenly took out a cloth bag from his sleeve and threw it to Yi Xifeng. The latter hurriedly caught it and opened it. It turned out to be the jade pendant he had obtained at the auction house before. The mysterious man The man continued to walk forward, and when he bypassed the two people, he said: "Remnant soul of the jade pendant, be careful of the teleportation array."
The two of them looked confused and turned to look at the back of the mysterious man. They didn't know what he meant. Unexpectedly, the mysterious man suddenly stopped, turned around, gently pulled down the mask, and quickly surrounded him. The two of them could clearly see the man. It was then that he suddenly realized that this energetic little old man was not Ou Yezi.
Ou Yezi didn't stay too long. Seeing that they recognized him, he nodded and quickly left the alley.
"Senior Ouye, what are you doing?" Lin Fenghuo asked curiously.
Yi Xifeng held the cloth bag and thought: "He must have a reason for doing this. Be careful of the teleportation array... the teleportation array..."
"Isn't there five teleportation arrays in Luo Yun Kingdom?" Lin Fenghuo asked, "Does he mean that Wu Hao will take Zhong Lingxi directly from the teleportation array in Qingchuan County back to Luo Yun Sect?"
"No." Yi Xifeng had already figured out the matter about the Bloodstained Secret Realm before, so he categorically denied Lin Fenghuo's idea, "He should be talking about Luoye City. Dean Chen should have told him that we wanted to kidnap the bride. He, that’s why he helped us take a picture of this jade pendant.”
Yi Xifeng thought for a moment and said: "The remnant soul of the jade pendant... there are many people with mixed eyes, let's talk about it back to the inn, I have already figured it out."
The two of them walked out of the alley. Yi Xifeng said as they walked: "Heizi, this time things are not that simple. I'm afraid there will be many variables and the situation will be more chaotic than we imagined."
Lin Fenghuo didn't understand what he meant, and the situation Yi Xifeng mentioned was the day when the secret realm was opened. By then, I'm afraid all the masters from the major sects would be here, and many of them would be the same as himself. Once people with grudges meet, a fight is inevitable, and rescuing Zhong Lingxi will be even more difficult.
"Hey, madman, look, it seems to be that person." Lin Fenghuo said.
Yi Xifeng looked in the direction he pointed and found that it was the person who had stolen the thief's wallet before. At this time, he was still dressed as a wealthy businessman. Lin Fenghuo recognized this person by his clothes. This person was now He was standing in front of a caravan of dozens of people and was saying something. Apparently he was the leader of the caravan.
Due to their previous positioning problems at the auction house, the two of them could not fully see the man's face, but now the man was facing them, and Lin Fenghuo suddenly felt that he had some familiarity with that man.
