Song Jinnian handed them two black cards respectively.

Gu Qingze felt the material of the card, which was a bit like the material of the room cards distributed by the innkeeper.

"Brothers, please remember to take these carefully. These are the passes for the auction. If you lose them, it will be very troublesome to get a replacement."

Song Jinnian warned carefully.

Then he thought of something and added.

"Although I booked a private room for the auction, it's still safer to wear a mask just in case. If you two don't have one, I have some extra."

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao looked at each other, then both looked at Song Jinnian with a smile.

"Then I'll leave it to Brother Jinnian."

Song Jinnian took out several exquisite silver masks with beautiful patterns carved on them.

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao took the mask and looked at it carefully.

"What a beautiful mask." Gu Qingze exclaimed.

"Thank you for the compliment. I specially picked this out from my storage bag. I knew my two brothers might not like to show off, so I didn't take out those fancy masks from the storage bag."

Song Jinnian seemed to be very pleased with the compliment and took credit for it with a smile.

The three of them put on masks and instantly became mysterious.

"It feels like we are now a very powerful hermit family, and we are the kind that are extremely wealthy and have a strong background."

Chu Lingxiao said jokingly.

"It does look a bit like it." Gu Qingze agreed with a smile.

“Wow, just imagining it a little bit makes it feel so cool!”

Song Jinnian's eyes lit up and he looked very longing.

After chatting for a while, when it was almost time, Song Jinnian took the two of them to the entrance of the auction.

The guard at the door carefully checked their passes and confirmed that they were not forged, so he let them pass.

Entering the auction site, there were all kinds of monsters walking back and forth, and the atmosphere was lively.

Song Jinnian led them to the reserved box.

The compartment was luxuriously decorated and provided with a variety of fruits and snacks.

"Brothers, you can rest here for a while. The auction will start soon."

Song Jinnian said, then sat down and began to look at the people participating in the auction.

At this time, a waiter came in and asked respectfully.

"Would you like anything to drink?"

"Just give us three cups of hot tea." Song Jinnian thought for a moment and replied.

The waiter nodded and stepped out.

After a while, the waiter came back with three cups of steaming hot tea. After placing them on the table, he quietly left the box.

The three of them drank hot tea while waiting for the auction to begin.

Hot tea has a light fragrance that makes people feel relaxed and comfortable.

"I didn't expect this auction to be so lively and large-scale. It's not inferior to the auction in Qingyun City, but it's even slightly better." Chu Lingxiao looked around and sighed.

"Of course. This is the second-ranked auction house in the demon world. Assets alone are not enough to gain entry. Status and position are equally important. In order to let you in, I've faked your identities to make you my cousin. I hope you two brothers don't mind."

Song Jinnian said embarrassedly.

"Why should I mind? Ling Xiao and I should be thanking you, Brother Jinnian, for your help. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to get in so smoothly."

Gu Qingze said this politely, but it was indeed what he meant.

Chu Lingxiao focused his attention on another matter and asked curiously.

"Brother Jinnian, you said this is the second-ranked auction house in the demon world, so where is the first-ranked one?"

Gu Qingze was also waiting for his answer. To be honest, he was a little curious.

"The first one is the Emperor Auction House near the Demon King's Palace in our Demon Realm. Luckily you didn't want to go into that one. I can't get into that one with my identity."

Emperor Auction House... such a cheesy name... but the Demon King probably thinks it's a very powerful name, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen it...

Gu Qingze complained silently in his heart.

"What do you mean? Could it be that the conditions are even more stringent than those of this auction house?" Chu Lingxiao asked.

"Because it's near the Demon King, basically only the Demon King's relatives or other nobles can enter. However, most of the nobles are also related to him."

Song Jinnian paused for a moment and added.

"...There is another way, and that is to make some great contribution to the demon world. This way is even more outrageous."

He moved closer to them calmly, his voice becoming quieter.

"Because this method openly talks about making contributions to the demon world, but in reality, it's secretly referring to making contributions to the demon king and secretly giving him some benefits..."

Is this something that can be said?

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao were shocked when they heard him complain about the dirty things behind the Demon King.

They couldn't help but think of the demon world where even riding one's own private transportation was forbidden, and one could only ride in the officially designated "demon car", and breaking the rules would result in death...

The demon king's desire for domination was so perverted. If he knew that Song Jinnian was complaining about him behind his back, even though they were in a soundproofed box, what if the demon king had such omnipotent hands...

After all, the Demon King is only one step away from ascending to become an immortal, and he can barely be considered a demigod. It doesn't seem surprising that he knows these things. In short, he is very scary.

Will Song Jinnian be corroded to death by the demonic energy in front of them because of his complaints against the demon king...
