Chapter 379 Auction
Perhaps it was because Huo Qinghuang's expression was too obvious, the man's face suddenly turned dark and he became angry and embarrassed.
"You are such a rude girl. Who are you with? Where are your parents? How can anyone be allowed into this auction?"
The man glared at Huo Lingfeng angrily, obviously thinking he was one of Huo Qinghuang's gang.
You know what, the man is really good at seeing things, the two of them are definitely in the same group.
When Huo Lingfeng heard this, his face darkened instantly, and a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes behind the lenses.
"If people like you can come in, why can't we?"
He opened his mouth and retorted to the man. The brother and sister seemed to have the same master, both of them were equally sharp-tongued.
"You! You are so arrogant! Humph, I want to see who is so tactless!"
The man was so angry that he pointed at the brother and sister and shouted.
Huo Qinghuang's fingertips that were stroking the jade hairpin paused slightly, then raised her eyes to look at the middle-aged man.
"What a blind man!"
Before she finished her words, she flicked her fingertips and a gust of wind passed over the man's head.
With a "click", his carefully groomed wig fell off, revealing his bald head.
"you!"
The man's face turned red, and he hurriedly picked up the wig and slipped out of the crowd.
A burst of suppressed laughter broke out around.
Huo Qinghuang curled her lips in disdain and turned away.
She finally came across an auction, and she didn't want to waste time on such boring things.
However, the old man refused to give in and stretched out his hand to pull Huo Qinghuang's sleeve, shouting:
"How can you be like this, little girl? You want to leave just because you can't win the argument. You want to just walk away after ruining my business? It's not that easy!"
Seeing this, Huo Lingfeng's face darkened. He stepped forward and stood in front of Huo Qinghuang, staring at the old man with cold eyes: "You'd better take your hand away, don't make yourself look bad."
The old man was frightened by Huo Lingfeng's eyes and subconsciously retracted his hand, but he still remained tough.
"You ruined my reputation, and you want to let it go? You must give me an explanation today."
People around began to gather around and point fingers.
Someone whispered, "Who are these two young men? Why are they arguing with Xunfeng Sanren? This old man specializes in swindling people, he is not a good person."
"Maybe this little girl doesn't know what she's talking about and is just talking nonsense."
Some people were sharp-eyed and recognized Huo Lingfeng, exclaiming in a low voice: "Isn't that the second young master of the Huo family? Could the person next to him be... Huo Qinghuang?!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of hissing noises all around.
Those who originally had doubts about Huo Qinghuang now shut their mouths and looked at her with awe.
Xunfeng Sanren was still in the dark and was still yelling at Huo Qinghuang for an explanation.
Huo Qinghuang glanced at him calmly and said, "Didn't you say this is a genuine product? Then do you dare to find an expert appraiser to appraise it?
If it's authentic, I'll buy it at ten times the price. If it's a fake, you have to apologize to everyone present. How about that?"
When Xunfeng Sanren heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
He knew in his heart that the halberd was a replica, so he didn't dare to find an appraiser.
But he couldn't bring himself to give in. As he was hesitating, a loud voice came from outside the crowd: "What happened?"
When everyone looked back, they saw an old man in a grey robe with an immortal look walking in through the crowd.
This old man was none other than one of the organizers of this auction, Xuanfeng Zhenren, who was quite famous in the cultivation world.
He is also the great elder of the Jingming Sect.
Xunfeng Sanren's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. He quickly ran to Master Xuanfeng and told him the story with exaggeration.
Finally, he said, "Master, you have to help me. This little girl slandered my baby and ruined my reputation."
Master Xuanfeng looked at the halberd in his hand, then looked at Huo Qinghuang, his pupils shrank slightly.
Obviously, he had recognized Huo Qinghuang, but because there were so many people around, he didn't say much.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Huo, why do you think this halberd is a fake?"
Master Xuanfeng asked helplessly.
Huo Qinghuang raised her eyelids slightly, glanced at him calmly, and said, "There is not a trace of time on this halberd. The material is ordinary, the rust is artificial, and the runes are engraved in a messy way without any charm. Anyone with eyes can see that this is a replica."
“…”
The corner of Xuanfeng Zhenren's mouth twitched slightly.
In order not to become the blind person mentioned by Huo Qinghuang, he had to take the halberd from the old man and look at it carefully.
After a moment, Taoist Xuanfeng sighed and shook his head: "Fellow Daoist Huo is right, this halberd is indeed a fake. Fellow Daoist Xunfeng, you have crossed the line."
Xunfeng Sanren already regretted it now.
How could he have imagined that Huo Qinghuang was also a cultivator.
It was all because Huo Qinghuang’s aura was hidden too well, and he was unable to identify the other cultivator’s identity at the first time.
Xunfeng Sanren looked embarrassed and begged for mercy dryly, "I am blind and have offended you two. I hope you will not hold it against an old man like me."
Xuan Feng Zhenren's face turned cold: "You cheated at my auction, do you know your crime? Considering that this is your first offense, today's matter ends here. If you do it again, I will not let you off easily."
Xunfeng Sanren's eyes changed slightly, but he was helpless because his cultivation was too low, so he didn't dare to confront Xuanfeng Taoist. He could only thank him repeatedly, then put away his halberd dejectedly, squeezed out of the crowd and ran away.
Huo Qinghuang watched the two people's performance calmly without saying a word.
This Master Xuanfeng seemed to be upholding justice, but he let Xunfeng Sanren go with just two words. She would never believe it even if she was beaten to death if she said that there was no shady dealings between the two of them.
But it was not a big deal. Selling counterfeit goods was very common in the cultivation world. Huo Qinghuang did not intend to pursue it, but he did not want to give Master Xuanfeng a good face.
"Let's go and take a look over there."
She didn't even look at Master Xuanfeng and turned away.
Huo Lingfeng had no choice but to nod to Master Xuanfeng and quickly followed.
Master Xuanfeng stood there, his expression changing.
The people around were afraid to make a sound, for fear of making any noise and angering the other party.
In the end, everyone was shocked to find that after Master Xuanfeng sighed, he said nothing and just left.
Everyone looked at each other, all bewildered.
On the other side, Huo Qinghuang and the other person continued to wander around the venue.
At this time, the bell for the official start of the auction rang.
Everyone walked towards the auction table. Huo Qinghuang and Huo Lingfeng also found a place to sit down and began to observe the people around them.
In the venue, in addition to some monks, there were also many wealthy mortals.
These mortal tycoons were dressed in suits and ties, as if they were attending some top-notch banquet, with expressions of curiosity and excitement on their faces.
Most of them came here because they heard that there would be some rare treasures at the auction.
As soon as he sat down, Huo Qinghuang noticed several inquiring gazes.
She scanned the room calmly and found that many monks were secretly looking at her, and some even wiped their sweat nervously.
"Am I that scary?"
She muttered quietly.
Huo Lingfeng chuckled: "It seems that the fact that you slaughtered the entire Leng family is no longer a secret in the cultivation world."
Huo Qinghuang rolled her eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him.
The auction officially begins.
