PNB Chapter 103 Auction
Chapter 103 Auction
The richly dressed young man was not angry at all when he saw that Bai Lingxing ignored him.
Instead, he shook his head to himself, a deep and meaningful smile playing on his lips, as if he had everything under control.
He led them to another table in the inn and then instructed the innkeeper to prepare the dishes as soon as possible.
The noise inside the inn did not diminish despite the brief incident.
The guests' laughter and chatter continued unabated, as if such disputes were merely a normal part of daily life here, and no one paid much attention to them.
When Xiaoyue saw Cheng Peng approaching, she asked, "Big guy, what are you doing?"
Why did they suddenly start chopping up their table out of nowhere?
Upon hearing Xiaoyue mention this matter, Cheng Peng's expression darkened slightly, and he defended himself with a wronged look, saying, "Xiaoyue, you're not right about that."
"Didn't you see? We just came in and hadn't even found seats yet, and they took them! How am I supposed to save face like that?"
When Xiaoyue heard him say that, she responded, "You can't just start a fight without a word. You should at least ask the other person what they mean before you do it."
Although Cheng Peng had previously lost to Xiao Yue, he knew that Xiao Yue was gentle and would not get angry easily, so he was not particularly afraid of her.
He chuckled and said, "I just couldn't stand it, so I took action. If I couldn't beat them, there's always Little Lie here."
"If the young man can't beat them, there's always the big sister."
Cheng Peng spoke with an air of confidence, seemingly unafraid of any consequences.
After Bai Lingxing and the others took their seats, the waiters quickly brought over the food and drinks and placed them on their table.
They even asked them what they needed, but Bai Lingxing didn't say anything and just waved them away.
Seeing this, Shanzi quickly advised Cheng Peng to calm down: "Alright, alright, you don't know martial arts, why are you getting into trouble for no reason?"
Cheng Peng rubbed his arm, which was numb from the shock, and kept muttering, "If I knew martial arts, I would definitely teach him a lesson."
Daya frowned slightly and said earnestly, "When we're out and about, we should value harmony, broaden our horizons, and avoid causing trouble."
Upon hearing Da Ya speak, Cheng Peng immediately lowered his head and dared not utter another word.
Among this group, Cheng Peng was most afraid of Da Ya. Although Da Ya was easy to talk to, he knew that Da Ya and the others' martial arts skills were all taught by her younger sister, Xiao Ya.
Among the five, although Daya's martial arts skills were not the strongest and she was not the oldest, her words carried the most weight, and everyone was willing to listen to Daya and Shanzi's opinions.
Shanzi, Daya, and Xiaolie are all now eighteen years old. Shanzi is the oldest, Daya is the second oldest, and Xiaolie is the youngest. Afu is seventeen years old, and Xiaoyue is only fifteen.
Before they knew it, they had spent six years together since Yun Dan came to visit.
Hearing Da Ya's advice, everyone nodded silently and said no more.
The shop's staff brought out a variety of dishes and drinks. After eating, drinking, and chatting, everyone went to rest as Bai Lingxing had arranged.
"Sister Bai, we can take care of ourselves, don't worry."
"Okay, let me know if you need anything." He then walked back to his room.
Time flies, and the day of the auction arrived in the blink of an eye.
This auction was unprecedented and unparalleled; it was a grand event in the capital of the Si Dynasty.
The bustling streets of the entire capital were teeming with people.
Wealthy merchants from all directions, dressed in fine clothes, hurried along.
High-ranking officials and dignitaries appeared solemn and dignified; even reclusive scholars who usually kept a low profile showed up here.
This grand auction attracted numerous celebrities, demonstrating its significant influence.
Anyone who knew about this auction had already begun meticulously planning it six months in advance.
After all, such a rare and grand event is not one that can be missed easily.
The auction will be held in the magnificent and spectacular hall of Qinglan Club.
This hall was officially sponsored and received strong support from various chambers of commerce.
As a result, the preparations for the auction proceeded exceptionally smoothly, with every aspect arranged in an orderly manner.
This year's auction has attracted so much attention and popularity.
One of the important reasons is that the legendary thousand-year-old Tianshan snow lotus is about to appear at the auction.
The appearance of such rare treasures undoubtedly adds a touch of mystery and allure to the already highly anticipated auction.
As the auction date approached, more and more wealthy businessmen and their families arrived, resulting in a significant increase in the number of participants compared to previous years.
For a time, the capital was bustling with activity, and an atmosphere of excitement and tension permeated the streets and alleys.
Since the auction was held in the magnificent hall of Qinglan Club, the Auction Pavilion group, as the main participants in this auction, received extremely high-level treatment.
Accompanied by the president of the Grand Alliance and several respected elders of the sect, they walked directly into the VIP seats with an air of nonchalance.
At the same time, King Ling led his subordinates, as well as Daya, Shanzi and others, into the magnificent hall.
As soon as everyone stepped into the hall, they were stunned by the sight before them.
The magnificent hall resembled a giant octagonal house, a masterpiece of craftsmanship and exquisite beauty.
Its interior decoration is even more magnificent and dazzling, making people dazzled.
This hall is one of the most outstanding buildings in the country, with a grand scale and magnificent presence.
Upon entering, the first thing that catches the eye is the high platform in the center of the hall, arranged in the shape of an octagonal star.
This platform was clearly intended for displaying items during auctions; it is not only ingeniously designed but also uniquely shaped, making it a striking sight.
At each of the eight corners of this high platform stood eight burly and imposing masters.
These experts all had cold expressions and piercing eyes, as if they could see through every little thing and were always guarding this important place.
The entire hall was divided into six areas, with three corners set up as VIP seats, the remaining three corners as ordinary seats, and the last two as the most important areas for the Rank Pavilion.
This layout demonstrates respect and preferential treatment for VIPs while also catering to the needs of guests at different levels.
Looking up the stairs, you can see VIP rooms on the second and third floors.
The rooms on the second floor are called the Xuan and Huang VIP rooms, which are usually only accessible to martial artists who have reached the Acquired Realm (Harmony Realm stage) or nobles of high status.
The third floor is even more luxurious, a place exclusively for VIPs of Heaven and Earth. Only powerful cultivators at the Innate Realm (Yuan Realm stage) or above, as well as prominent figures such as princes from the imperial palace, are qualified to set foot here.
When the Spirit King and his entourage stepped into the hall, it immediately caused quite a commotion.
After all, the people sitting in the VIP seats are all extraordinary individuals, and they all know each other to some extent.
Even though they had never communicated directly, they were well aware of each other's identities and backgrounds.
Just then, a beautiful maid dressed in sexy clothes walked over gracefully.
With a smile on her face and elegant demeanor, she led the Spirit King and the others upstairs.
The group followed behind and finally arrived at the top-tier room on the third floor.
Above the door was a prominent "six," which must be the legendary Room No. 6.
The moment they stepped into the room, everyone was immediately struck by the spaciousness before them. The room was about 80 square meters and felt extremely open.
The room is surrounded by walls on three sides, while a delicate wooden railing about 80 centimeters high is set up facing the auction display stand.
It maintains the openness of the space while adding a touch of solemnity and elegance.
Inside the room, each seat is equipped with an exquisitely designed table that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also fully functional.
The table was laden with all sorts of snacks and fruits, arranged with great care, their colors vibrant and mouthwatering.
These delicacies not only satisfied the guests' taste buds but also added a unique charm to the entire auction process.
On one corner of the table, there were five flags of different colors, lying there quietly, as if waiting for some kind of instruction.
Shanzi curiously picked up a red flag and examined it closely.
At this moment, the auction house maid, dressed in gorgeous clothes, noticed his actions, smiled and came forward to explain the purpose of the flags to him.
"Young master, the red flag in your hand is our auction house's unique bidding symbol."
When you take a liking to an item and wish to participate in the bidding, simply raise this flag, and our auctioneer will take notice of your interest.
Like the other three flags, they each represent a different price. The maid's words were gentle yet clear.
