Chapter 44 Youling City Auction (Part 3)

"I don't know the details very well, but Ziyi drank a cup of spiritual tea in her shop that day, and he established his foundation after returning."

"Foundation-building? Without taking the foundation-building pill?!" Ying Liangzhi's eyes widened.

Xie Manqing chuckled, his eyes moving, "If I had taken the foundation-building pill, I wouldn't have mentioned it specifically. Now that I have successfully built my foundation and am in the process of consolidating it, that's why I didn't come. Oh, I almost forgot! Before I came, he asked me to thank Manager Xu. Excuse me, everyone."

After saying this, he walked slowly towards Xu Qiuqian.

The other two members of the Xie family followed Xie Manqing away.

"Miss, are we just leaving like this?"

"What else?" Xie Manqing still had a smile on his face after he left, but his words were not as tactful as before, "I don't want to waste time talking to them about this and that, not to mention that this grocery store manager did help Ziyi."

Just now, when she heard Ying Liangzhi guess that Manager Xu and Clan Leader Chen were having an affair, she rolled her eyes in her heart.

The patriarch of the Ying family has only been in office for five years. No one knows how the Ying family selects the patriarch. Do you have to be weird to become the patriarch? The previous patriarch of the Ying family was also a fool. I don't know how he caused the legs of the direct disciple of an elder of a large sect to be crippled. In the end, he was pushed out by the Ying family and handed over to that sect to save the Ying family.

This guy is also a fool. Seeing that Ying Liangzhi, that fool, still had something to say, she was too lazy to stay any longer, for fear of being infected.

As for the other companies, there were too many opportunities for communication and it was not her turn.

Why not meet Manager Xu, who is quite mysterious as mentioned by Ziyi?

She was quite interested.

As soon as Xie Manqing left, Ying Liangzhi said with a wry smile: "This Xie Manqing is really something. After all, I am the clan leader, and you are all here. How can you be so rude and just leave like that?"

"Brother Xiao, can you please lend me a hand to talk?"

"Can."

The Xiao family and the Feng family also left, and Chen Zhuozheng did not stay any longer. He bowed and left. In the end, only the Ying family and the Zhao family were left. Ying Liangzhi originally planned to say a few words to the Zhao family, but the Zhao family also found an excuse to leave.

Ying Liangzhi was quite embarrassed, but extremely puzzled: "Isn't he just an ordinary grocery store manager? Why would he not talk to me because of her? I am the head of the Ying family!"

The rest of the Ying family remained silent. After a moment, someone couldn't help but remind them, "Maybe they're not just because of a grocery store manager..."

In addition to the Chen family, there is also the Xie family.

The others are definitely not.

"What is that? Did I say something wrong? I am the head of the Ying family!"

"...Nothing." - "Come here, Xiaoyi, these snacks are good, try them."

Xu Qiuqian picked up a piece of dessert and handed it to Yun Yi's mouth.

Yun Yi opened his mouth and ate.

"Is it tasty?"

"Yeah." He seemed a little depressed.

Xu Qiuqian sighed, saying with guilt: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."

I just wanted to bring Yun Yi out to have a look, he couldn't stay in the shop all the time, but I didn't think about the disguise mask I bought for the cheap price.

This disguise mask can only prevent spiritual detection by those below the foundation building stage. However, quite a few of the people who came this time have already established their foundation, especially those from several major families. This is why after Chen Zhuozheng introduced her to other families, she directly pulled Yun Yi away.

Yun Yi is very sensitive to other people's gazes and emotional changes.

Yun Yi could naturally feel the obvious disgust in those people's faces just now.

"It's not the manager's fault." Yun Yi said in a low voice. He lowered his head and his facial expression could not be seen clearly.

Xu Qiuqian patted his head gently.

I thought that after the auction, I would buy Yun Yi a better disguise mask, or see if there was anything that could heal the injury on Yun Yi's face.

"Manager Xu."

Xu Qiuqian looked in the direction of the voice.

"Who are you……"

"I'm Xie Ziyi's sister, my name is Xie Manqing, Manager Xu, you can just call me Manqing."

It turned out to be Xie Ziyi's sister.

"Daoist Manqing."

Xie Manqing covered her mouth and chuckled: "It seems that Manager Xu is just like me, and is not used to pretending to be nice to others."

"You too? But I don't think you are." Xu Qiuqian was a little curious because Xie Manqing looked like the kind of sociable person who could chat with anyone.

"Just because you're not used to it doesn't mean you can't do it. I guess that's also the case with Manager Xu, right?"

Xu Qiuqian understood and nodded.

When she was in the interstellar space, most of the time she only had to lead troops to fight, but due to her status, she sometimes still had to communicate with people in a friendly manner on the surface.

So she does know how to do it and understands it, but she doesn't like it.

Just like now.

Seeing Xu Qiuqian's intention, Xie Manqing naturally would not stay to offend others: "Xie Ziyi asked me to thank Manager Xu. I hope that the Xie family can cooperate with Manager Xu more in the future."

This is just polite talk.

"Naturally, happy cooperation."

As soon as Xie Manqing left, Chen Wei, who had not been around since a while ago, came over.

"Sister Qiu Qian, I found out for you!" Chen Wei approached Xu Qiu Qian and lowered his voice, "The Xiao family really doesn't need anything, but the ancestor of the Xiao family has been in seclusion. I heard that some people speculated that the ancestor of the Xiao family may have failed to form a pill and damaged his cultivation, so he has been in seclusion."

The ancestor of the Xiao family was in seclusion to form the elixir.

She had heard about this from Chen Wu before.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

She would know if she really tried it, so she entered the Void Mall.

Xie Manqing, who was not far away, saw this scene and was thoughtful.

"Could it be that the items for auction revealed by the City Lord's Mansion this time were provided by her? If that's the case, then there will be something interesting to watch. However, at most there should be only three or four items provided by her..."

Behind the lobby.

The female cultivator compared the auction items one by one to make sure there was nothing more or less, and that the order of presentation had also been arranged.

“That’s about it.”

She was getting ready to go on stage.

Someone came running over.

"Young Master, the Chen family has sent another auction item!"

"What? It's such a late delivery. No, send it back!" Xia Qin refused without thinking.

This was the first time her mother had given her such a task. She had been busy for more than half a month for today and there must not be any mistakes.

"But, the Chen family said that Miss, you should take a look at what it is before deciding whether to accept it or not."

Xia Qin hesitated for a moment, thinking of what the Chen family had sent before.

"Bring it here so I can see it."

The man handed it to Xia Qin. Xia Qin opened the box and was extremely shocked without any hesitation.

"receive!"

"In addition, the Chen family said that in exchange, they would remove one of the auction items."

"What?"

"The formless heavenly milk."

Xia Qin hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

"Then take it away. This other item will be the finale of the auction."

Another five minutes passed.

"The auction begins." The solemn voice reached the minds of everyone in the hall. Everyone stopped talking and looked towards the stage.

A tall female cultivator with an oval face and dressed in green walked to the center of the platform, steady and dignified.

"Hello fellow Taoists, my name is Xia Qin, and I am the daughter of the city lord. I will be the host of this auction. I don't need to explain the rules of the auction to you fellow Taoists. Please draw your own number plate."

Servants holding signs came out in rows, and everyone drew number plates at random.

Xu Qiuqian’s license plate number is 39.

Fifteen minutes later, everyone got their number plates.

"Without further ado, let's start the auction of the first item."

Someone came onto the stage carrying a tray.

The cloth on the tray was taken off, and the things on the tray were suspended in the air so that everyone could see them clearly.

"The first auction item is provided by Manager Xu Qiuqian of the Hong'an Street Grocery Store."
