Chapter 74 Ancient Divine Beast Xuanwu
Outside the Jubao Tower, the night was as thick as silk, gradually deepening.
As the lights came on, Jun Yijue and Su Chenyin walked hand in hand on their way back. The lights on both sides of the street were dim and warm, reflecting the figures of the two walking side by side.
At that time, the bright moonlight gently sprinkled on them, drawing a magnificent picture, exuding endless warmth and harmony.
"Ajue, what do you think of Young Master Lu, Lu Yanchen?" Su Chenyin slightly tilted her eyes and looked at Jun Yijue beside her, asking puzzledly.
Jun Yijue frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and replied: "Yes. He has good talent, and it is worth it for you to get to know him. After all, it has been confirmed that he is your cousin."
He paused for a moment and added, "If Yinyin is not in a hurry to meet him, you can become friends with him first, get to know his personality and character, and then make a decision."
Su Chenyin nodded slightly, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.
"Okay, that's true. Let's make friends first. When the time comes, I'll understand the situation of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and then decide whether to recognize the relationship."
As the night deepened, the two walked and talked, and soon returned to Cuizhuxuan.
The two of them returned to Cuizhuxuan, had dinner, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
At this time, Su Chenyin was lying on the bed, looking at the moonlight outside the window, and what happened today echoed in his mind.
She couldn't help but sigh. She didn't expect to meet her blood cousin on the first day she arrived in Biluo City.
The next day, at dawn, the golden sunlight filtered through the delicate window lattice like a thin thread, gently caressing Su Chenyin's cheek and gently waking her up from her dream.
Su Chenyin rubbed her sleepy eyes, stood up, opened the window, and looked at the swaying green bamboo outside the window, feeling happy.
After washing up, she put on a red dress and walked out of the room, just as Jun Yijue came out in white.
Su Chenyin's eyes scanned Jun Yijue's white clothes, then lowered his eyes to look at his own clothes, and his eyes lit up instantly.
Oh, why is it a couple’s version again?
Aren’t all the clothes that Ajue made for me couple styles?
One set for her and another for him?
Jun Yijue came over, took Su Chenyin's hand, and said softly, "Yinyin, let's go downstairs to have breakfast. We still have to go to Jubao Tower to attend the auction later."
Su Chenyin nodded slightly, with a smile on her lips, and walked down the stairs of Cuizhuxuan with Jun Yijue.
Breakfast is ready. It is Cuizhuxuan’s specialty dim sum. The aroma is so fragrant that it will whet your appetite.
The two sat opposite each other, their eyes occasionally meeting, revealing a silent understanding and warmth.
After breakfast, they set off for Jubao Tower together.
On the way, Su Chenyin blinked her beautiful eyes and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Ajue, those spiritual skirts you made for me, aren't they all couple styles?"
"Yeah, that's about right!" Jun Yijue's ears blushed slightly, and he lowered his eyes shyly, "Does Yinyin like it?"
Su Chenyin smiled and answered without hesitation: "Yes, I like it. I like it very much."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the Jubao Tower.
The Jubao Tower was already bustling with people, with many practitioners gathered to participate in today's auction.
As soon as the two of them entered Jubao Tower, Shopkeeper Li came up to them with a big smile on his face, "Miss Jun, you are here. Please come in. Please follow me."
After saying this, Shopkeeper Li led the two of them through the bustling lobby, up the stairs, and to a rather elegant VIP room on the third floor.
The VIP room is decorated in a simple style. The sunlight outside the window shines through the fine curtains onto the rosewood tables and chairs, making the room look particularly quiet.
On the table stood a pot of spiritual tea, three plates of snacks, and a dozen spiritual fruits.
Shopkeeper Li poured them some tea enthusiastically, and said with a smile, "Miss Jun, this young master, today's auction at Jubao Tower has countless treasures, and I believe you two will return with a full load. In the meantime, if you need anything, just let me know."
After a pause, he added, "Also, if you two have something to auction, just press the red buttons on the left or right to participate in the auction."
Then, Shopkeeper Li gave some more notes on the auction, and then he turned and left the VIP room, while instructing the waiter outside to serve him well.
In the VIP room, there is a special crystal screen similar to modern glass. One can clearly see the situation in the auction room from inside, but one cannot peek into the situation inside from outside.
At this moment, Su Chenyin and Jun Yijue were sitting opposite each other, sipping tea and talking in low voices, waiting for the auction to begin.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Bang!"
A deafening sound rang out throughout the auction venue, announcing the official start of the auction.
Hearing the sound, the lobby downstairs gradually quieted down, and people took their seats one after another, looking forward to this grand auction.
As the voice fell, a graceful woman in a lavender dress walked onto the auction stage.
Her appearance instantly caught the attention of all the men in the auction. They were all infatuated and their eyes greedily followed her graceful figure.
Some people even whistled teasingly, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.
However, the woman remained calm and composed. She slightly puffed out her proud chest, raised her professional smile, and saluted to the distinguished guests present.
This woman is the auctioneer of Jubao Tower, Zishuang.
After Zishuang stepped onto the auction stage, she smiled gently and swept her eyes across the entire venue. The teasing and noises gradually disappeared.
"Bang!"
Zishuang tapped the small hammer in her hand lightly, and a crisp sound rang out: "Welcome all distinguished guests to this Jubaolou auction. I am today's auctioneer Zishuang."
"Today's auction will feature numerous treasures. I believe that this will be a worthwhile trip for you all. Now, let's begin the bidding for the first treasure."
Following Zishuang's gesture, two waiters carefully brought up an exquisite jade plate with a blue spirit beast egg on it.
As soon as this spirit beast egg came out, the people in the audience immediately lost interest and started making jokes.
Someone even joked, "Miss Zishuang, this spirit beast egg is a dead egg. We've photographed it hundreds of times, how come it's still there?!"
"That's right. I don't even want this damn egg. Miss Zishuang, please bid on the next item quickly." Someone else echoed.
Zishuang had a smile on her face and looked calm, as if she didn't care about the teasing from the audience. She waved her hand gently, signaling everyone to be quiet.
She tapped the hammer lightly, her eyes suddenly becoming serious: "Dear guests, although this spirit beast egg has not been hatched, who can guarantee that it is not waiting for its destined person? Perhaps today, it will welcome its own owner."
"Besides, according to the appraisal of Jubao Tower, the spiritual power it contains is extraordinary. We will start the auction at a low price this time. Now, the starting price is 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and each bid increase must not be less than 1,000 low-grade spiritual stones."
"The starting price is three hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones." Zishuang announced loudly.
suddenly!
The atmosphere in the audience became tense, and the bidders began to whisper. Some looked hesitant, while others were eager to try.
At this moment, in the VIP room on the third floor.
Su Chenyin's mind was filled with Yan Ling's exclamation, "Ah, ah... Master, please take a picture of it quickly, it is the ancient mythical beast Xuanwu, it is Xuanwu."
"Haha... I didn't expect it to end up being auctioned. It makes me laugh to death, haha..." Yan Ling laughed wildly in the space, his tone full of ridicule for Xuanwu.
