Hearing Chen Ning's words, everyone fell into a short silence. Then, the passersby who were watching the show could not help but wonder who was the first to lose their cool.
"Pfft... Haha…"
As one person laughed, more people laughed. Even Ouyang Xin and his guards could not help but laugh.
"Who dares to laugh?" Seeing that everyone was laughing, Guan Jie turned around and shouted angrily. The people who were originally laughing held back their laughter when they saw Guan Jie's outburst. However, everyone's faces were red because they wanted to laugh but did not dare to. It was quite funny.
Seeing that they were intimidated by him, the crowd did not dare to laugh out loud. However, their faces were flushed red from holding back their laughter, angering Guan Jie even more. Guan Jie glared at Chen Ning and scolded,"You son of a b * tch, you really don't know what's good for you. I let you off that day, but you actually dared to humiliate me. Today, I'll cripple you.”After saying that, he completely ignored Ouyang Xin who was beside Chen Ning. He waved his hand at the two men behind him and was about to cripple Chen Ning.
Chen Ning was a little nervous when he saw that Guan Jie was about to attack him. However, he did not back down. He glared at Guan Jie coldly, and the Celestial Chi in his body began to circulate. When he heard Guan Jie calling him a dog, Chen Ning's eyes flashed with killing intent. Whether it was in his previous life or this life, Chen Ning hated it when people called him a dog. It was because it deeply hurt Chen Ning's heart since he had no parents. In his previous life, a boss had scolded him once. He bore a grudge in his heart. At night, he smashed the boss's luxury car into pieces with a balaclava. If it weren't for the rule of law, Chen Ning would have killed him.
Just as the two mystic cultivators behind Guan Jie were about to make their move, Ouyang Xin, who was standing beside Chen Ning, snapped. She snorted coldly at Guan Jie and the two mystic cultivators."Let me see if any of you dare to touch my friend, Ouyang Xin…" After he finished speaking, he glared at Guan Jie and the two mystic cultivators. He did not look afraid at all, as if he was trying to provoke them.
Just as the two sides were about to draw their swords and start a fight, two women alighted from a luxurious carriage. They were attracted by the crowd and a few guards walked over." Young Master Ouyang, Young Master Guan, what are you doing here?" Are you waiting for me?" The two women who walked over were dressed in white and green respectively. The one who spoke was the woman in white. She obviously knew Ouyang Xin and Guan Jie.
Chen Ning could not help but look at the two women who had suddenly appeared. The woman in white was wearing a tight-fitting white dress with many precious gemstones stuck to the lace of the dress, outlining the woman's devilish figure flawlessly. She had a beautiful face and a typical oval face. Her skin was extremely smooth and delicate. Without any makeup on, her purity index shot up to 100%, especially her seductive eyes. The woman in green was also extremely beautiful. She didn't look like the woman in white, but the difference was that the woman in green looked extremely cold and aloof. Her smooth and fair face was cold and handsome. His deep black eyes had a mesmerizing luster. His thick eyebrows, tall nose, and beautiful lips all exuded nobility and elegance.
"Humph! Son of a b * tch, you're lucky. I'll settle the score with you after I'm done.”
When Guan Jie saw them, he immediately snorted at Chen Ning and Ouyang Xin. Obviously, with Ouyang Xin here to protect Chen Ning, Guan Jie couldn't do anything. Although he wasn't afraid of Ouyang Xin, he didn't want to offend him too much. After they separated, it would be as easy as stepping on an ant to kill Chen Ning.
Guan Jie sneered at Chen Ning, then turned around and smiled at the woman in white and the woman in green."Miss Wan Er, Miss Qing Yixuan, what a coincidence. You two are also here to participate in the auction, right?”His attitude was extremely fawning, especially when he looked at Qing Yixuan with a fiery gaze.
However, Qing Yixuan didn't even look at him. Her fair face was filled with coldness and nobility. Unlike Qing Yixuan, Shangguan Wan 'er covered her mouth and smiled evilly."Aiyo, Young Master Guan only cares about our Yixuan, and his eyes are about to fall out. It seems that Wan 'er is not beautiful, and Young Master Guan doesn't even look at her.”Shangguan Wan 'er covered her mouth with her small hand and laughed lightly. She did not look sad at all. Shangguan Wan' er was the youngest daughter of the Shangguan family, one of the six great families in Heaven's Wall City. Qing Yixuan was her cousin, and she had come to the Shangguan family as a guest.
After laughing for a while, Shangguan Wan 'er turned to Ouyang Xin and Chen Ning without waiting for Guan Jie to speak. However, Chen Ning was dressed in coarse clothes and did not stand out at all. She smiled at Ouyang Xin and said,"Young Master Ouyang, what a coincidence. I haven't seen you for a few days, but I didn't expect to see you again at the World Chamber of Commerce.”
"That's right! I didn't expect Miss Wan 'er to come too."
Ouyang Xin's handsome face also returned with a smile. His gaze lingered on Shangguan Wan 'er for a moment before turning to Qing Yixuan.
"Hehe…Not only am I here, even my cousin Qing Yixuan is here. How is it, is Young Master Ouyang happy?”
"Cough cough…Miss Wan 'er must be joking." Seeing that Shangguan Wan 'er had exposed him, Ouyang Xin coughed awkwardly. Qing Yixuan's face remained cold, as if everything before her did not attract her attention.
Seeing Shangguan Wan 'er and Ouyang Xin chatting and laughing, Guan Jie's face flashed with anger. He snorted coldly,""The auction is about to begin. I'll go in first. You guys can chat slowly.”After saying that, he turned around and walked into the Chamber of Commerce. As he left, he glared at Chen Ning.
Chen Ning, who was standing at the side, had a cold look in his eyes. He swore that he would kill Guan Jie if he had the chance to do so.
After Guan Jie left, Shangguan Wan 'er and Ouyang Xin chatted for a while before entering the Chamber of Commerce with Qing Yixuan. However, before she left, Shangguan Wan' er glanced at Chen Ning, whether intentionally or unintentionally. When she saw Guan Jie glaring at Chen Ning before he left and what happened when she came over, Shangguan Wan 'er thought that Guan Jie and Ouyang Xin had a conflict. But now it seemed that it was all because of this man who was dressed in plain clothes.
"Let's go, Brother Chen Ning. Don't worry about Guan Jie. He won't dare to do anything to you with me around.”Seeing that everyone had gone in, Ouyang Xin patted Chen Ning's shoulder and comforted him. Chen Ning nodded slightly and didn't say anything as he entered the Chamber of Commerce with Ouyang Xin. However, Chen Ning's heart was filled with desire for strength. If he had enough strength, he would have killed Guan Jie, who had insulted him, and no one would have dared to say anything. Strength, strength, Chen Ning had never yearned for it so much.
The inside of the Chamber of Commerce was very large. The first floor was filled with people. As soon as Ouyang Xin entered the Chamber of Commerce, a special staff member led Ouyang Xin and Chen Ning into a special passage. They naturally recognized the people from the six families of Heaven's Wall City. They were all big investors and naturally enjoyed the service of VLPs. It did not take long for Chen Ning and Ouyang Xin to arrive at the third floor of the Chamber of Commerce. The third floor was neither big nor small. In the middle was an empty space. There was a table with all kinds of items that Chen Ning had never seen before. On the upper side of the empty space were private rooms for the buyers to stay in. It was similar to a modern concert. The auctioneer was in the middle of the auction, and the surrounding private rooms had a panoramic view.
Soon, under the guidance of the staff of the General Chamber of Commerce, Chen Ning and Ouyang Xin arrived at a private room. The room was extremely luxurious, and there were all kinds of fruits and tea on the table. The staff told Ouyang Xin that the auction would be held in ten minutes. If there was anything he needed, he could press the button next to the table and there would be a dedicated staff to serve him. After saying that, he left the room.
"Brother Chen Ning sure is brave. According to my observation, Brother Chen Ning should have just started cultivating, right? Guan Jie is one of the six great clans in Heaven's Wall City, and his father is a famous refiner in Jason Kingdom. Brother Chen Ning, are you not afraid of him?”
After the staff of the Chamber of Commerce left, Chen Ning and Ouyang Xin sat in the private room. Ouyang Xin smiled at Chen Ning.
Hearing this, Chen Ning shook his head and said,""I wonder if Young Master Ouyang has heard of this saying?”
"Oh? What did he say? I wish to hear the details."
"A kind person is bullied by others. Sometimes, if you blindly tolerate and compromise, you will only get a deeper insult. A real man is born between heaven and earth. How can he let others step on his feet all the time? As for what Young Master Ouyang said about being afraid, how do you know if today's nestling will become an eagle soaring in the sky in the future?”Chen Ning asked Ouyang Xin with a calm smile.
Chen Ning was aware of Ouyang Xin's probing question, so he replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. He had been in society for many years in his previous life, so Chen Ning naturally knew what people liked to hear. In the past, he would have just encouraged himself, but now that he had the Azulet Sword Skill, he was full of confidence when he said this. He firmly believed that he would soar in the Nine Heavens.
Chen Ning's answer was neither servile nor overbearing. His face was firm and calm, and his eyes were as firm as iron. Ouyang Xin nodded and the look of approval in his eyes deepened. A person's words could be faked, but a person's eyes could not be faked. The truth of a person's words could be seen 70% from their eyes.
"Welcome to the auction held by the World Chamber of Commerce this week. The host of today's auction is me. My name is Sally. I believe many of the distinguished guests here have seen me.”A beautiful voice rang out from every box, and the auction of the World Chamber of Commerce officially began. The person who spoke was a beautiful and sexy woman standing in front of the host table.
"The first item up for auction today is a Yellow Grade medium weapon called the 'Green Rainbow Sword'. The starting price is 100 gold coins, and each bid must be no less than 10 gold coins.”After the flirtatious woman finished speaking, a staff member placed a long sword on the table.
"130 magnetite!"
"170 magnetite!"
Very soon, people began to bid from the various private rooms, and the price immediately rose. Chen Ning sat in the private room and looked at the table in the middle of the hall. He saw a green longsword placed on the auction table. Chen Ning learned from Black Panther that Black Panther's spear was only a low-grade Yellow-grade weapon, and the first item that the World Chamber of Commerce auctioned was a mid-grade Yellow-grade weapon. He could not help but click his tongue. The World Chamber of Commerce really lived up to its reputation, and he also sighed at the wealth of the families in the Heaven's Wall City. An ordinary family could survive for a year with ten gold coins, and a piece of magnetite was worth a thousand gold coins. A hundred pieces of magnetite was an astronomical figure for an ordinary person.
Chen Ning glanced at Ouyang Xin and saw that she was sipping her tea, not paying any attention to the auction. Chen Ning did not say anything and picked up the delicious fruit on the table to eat. It would be a waste not to eat it.
In the end, the Green Rainbow Sword was bought by someone for 230 magnetite. A few more items were auctioned off. Ouyang Xin was still sipping his tea, as if he was only here to drink tea. Chen Ning was also enjoying himself. He looked at the items on auction, eating fruits and drinking tea, feeling very comfortable.
" The next item to be auctioned is the Restriction Breaking Pill. It can allow cultivators below the level of Great Mystical Master to successfully break through one level and increase their strength without any side effects. It's also effective for those at Great Mystical Master Perfection. Although it can't directly break through to Great Mystical Master, it can greatly increase the difficulty of breaking through. Its value is naturally self-evident. The starting price is 1,000 magnetite, and each increment must be no less than 100 magnetite.”
As soon as Sally finished speaking, many people in the private rooms exclaimed in surprise.
"Heavens, Restriction Breaking Pill. There's such a thing today…"
"I must buy it back and present it to my family…"
Ouyang Xin, who was with Chen Ning in the private room, also had a flash in her eyes. She looked at the white pill on the table in the hall. The pill was the size of a marble and emitted a faint white light. It looked extraordinary.
"1,100 magnetite!"
"1,300 magnetite!"
The private rooms began to quote their prices in a hurry. Everyone wanted to buy this Restriction Breaking Pill and give it to their family elders or consume it themselves to break through their own realm.
" 2,000 magnetite. I want this Restriction Breaking Pill." Following an arrogant bid, the entire auction hall fell silent. Chen Ning could tell that the bidder was Guan Jie. He had no choice. In Chen Ning's heart, Guan Jie was his first kill target in this world. The former had humiliated Chen Ning twice. It would be strange if Chen Ning did not want to kill him.
After a short silence, the auction house was soon filled with people who placed their bids. Obviously, not everyone was afraid of Guan Jie. The price of the Restriction Breaking Pill quickly broke through 3,000 magnetite. Ouyang Xin also placed a bid during this period, but it was all suppressed by Guan Jie.
" 3,500 magnetite," Ouyang Xin called out once again when Guan Jie once again bid 3,200 magnetite.
