Zhao Qing's slamming of the table created a huge commotion, attracting the attention of almost everyone in the entire auction house.
Those in the Xuanmen sect naturally recognized this as the position of a Xuanmen leader, and all of them were eager to see what had happened and who this person named Mingluo was.
Those who are not from the Xuanmen sect naturally do not want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime spectacle.
Countless eyes were fixed on this place.
Zhao Qing sneered. He was going to use this occasion to ruin Ming Luo's reputation.
Mingluo dared to plot against his master, so he must pay the price.
Master Gu's face darkened. "Zhao Qing, what are you trying to do?"
Master Lin hesitated for a moment and then advised, "Zhao Qing, it's best not to make a move today. You have to abide by the rules of the auction. You can settle things privately after the auction. Don't make things too ugly."
He's been there, and it's too embarrassing to do it in public.
The people from the auction also came over.
A gentle-looking man approached and asked with a warm smile, "Master Gu, Master Lin, Master Zhao, what exactly happened?"
Zhao Qing pointed at Ming Luo menacingly and said, "She not only stole my master's talisman, but also said that there was something wrong with it. She's ruining my master's reputation like this, so I'm going to teach her a lesson. Will your auction house not care?"
The man's name was Lin He, and he was in charge of the auction house.
He looked at Mingluo, frowning, and asked, "Miss Ming? What happened?"
"Heh!" Mingluo said indifferently, "Do your auction house's talismans undergo quality inspection? Do they have an expiration date?"
"Of course, our talismans are appraised by specialized first-level esoteric masters. The Zhao Tianshi talisman auctioned also states that it is valid for ten years. Within ten years, it can ensure peace and prosperity for the household and bring good fortune. Miss Ming, do you have any questions?"
Although Lin He's tone was gentle, his gaze became sharp.
He disliked people questioning the auction house's procedures and reputation, and Mingluo's approach was unpopular.
Minglu scoffed.
She lived in this world not to please others, but to please herself.
She said coolly, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your assessment of this talisman?"
“Of course!” Lin He answered affirmatively.
Actually, he hesitated for a moment, but still chose to trust his sorcerer, after all, he was a top-notch master.
Minglu smiled.
"Don't blame me for ruining your reputation. The talisman drawn by Master Zhao looks incredibly powerful, but it has a problem. After five years of use, your home will be plagued by unrest and accidents will happen frequently. Did your appraiser fail to detect this?"
Lin He hesitated for a moment, but did not answer.
Zhao Qing had already thrown a punch. "You brat, you dare to ruin my master's reputation?"
"No!" Master Gu hurriedly tried to stop him.
Master Lin panicked as well.
To cause trouble at the auction house is to break the rules of the Xuanmen sect; even he wouldn't dare to cause such a disturbance.
Young people these days have absolutely no sense of martial ethics.
Just as Minglu was about to dodge Zhao Qing's attack, she saw Nie Yuchen already standing in front of her, reaching out and grabbing Zhao Qing's fist.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
How could Nie Yuchen, an ordinary person, possibly stop Zhao Qing?
She immediately felt relieved.
If Nie Yuchen really was her junior disciple, then dodging this attack would be the most natural thing in the world.
After all, he was very lucky to have a particularly great master.
She scoffed at Lin He, "Your auction house doesn't protect its guests? Does self-defense count as breaking the rules?"
She still needed to buy things here, so she didn't want to offend Lin He.
Lin and others can be expected to follow the rules.
If she doesn't follow the rules, that would be wonderful; she could destroy this place all by herself.
Lin He instantly understood her sarcasm, gave her a wink, and someone immediately stepped in front of Ming Luo.
At this moment, Master Gu successfully stopped Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing was enraged like a lion.
He had already broken the rules today, so he had no intention of letting Mingluo off easy. If he broke the rules and still couldn't get revenge, then it would be a joke to him.
He shouted, "You brat, if you don't apologize today, don't blame me for letting you come in upright and leave horizontally."
Mingluo smiled. "If I misspoke, I'll naturally apologize. But what if I have a way to prove that the talisman is faulty? What will you do then?"
"Hahahaha, you brat, there's absolutely no way my master's talismans could have any problems. If there were, I'd rather die than write my name Zhao backwards." Zhao Qing's respect for his master ran deep in his bones, and he would never allow anyone to speak ill of him.
Minglu looked him over carefully and laughed, "Heh, your surname doesn't matter to me. If you really want to avenge your master, how about we make a bet? If I can prove that the talisman is wrong, you will voluntarily leave Longhu Mountain and become my disciple. If I can prove that the talisman is not wrong, I will give you all ten talismans I have as compensation. How about it? Are you willing to bet?"
As Minglu spoke, she took the talisman that Master Gu had examined and waved it in her hand.
The spiritual energy emanating from this talisman is so intense it's intoxicating.
It's an indescribable feeling, but when you're in it, you feel like your body is much lighter, and you have the illusion of being reborn and becoming an immortal.
Lin He's eyes lit up.
"This is also the work of Master Zhao? There are ten of these talismans? Miss Ming, are you auctioning your talisman papers?"
“Not for sale.” Minglu refused.
She's not short of money now.
Master Lin helped her buy the auction items, and she had just obtained a large sum of jewelry and jade from the White Fox.
She's incredibly wealthy now, why would she still be selling talismans?
Lin He was extremely disappointed, but in his mind, Ming Luo was ranked second only to the three giants of the Xuanmen sect, and he became even more interested in what she was saying.
He whispered to someone to invite an appraiser, and his gaze fell on Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing's gaze was both fierce and puzzled.
He sensed something was wrong; Mingluo was too confident. Master Gu repeatedly advised against it, and Master Lin was unwilling to provoke Mingluo.
This woman doesn't seem to be simple.
Master Lin was all too familiar with this scene.
Back when the Fan family was exorcising bad luck, Minglu tricked the three old men in this way, managing to get a treasure from each of them.
The lessons of the past serve as a guide for the future.
He coughed and hinted to Zhao Qing, "Zhao Qing, those ten talismans are not from a simple source. Don't act recklessly. Go back and ask your master. Besides, taking someone as your master is not something you can just agree to casually. You should know that in our Xuanmen, a master for a day is a master for life. Don't ruin your life."
Zhao Qing was hesitating, but upon hearing this, he solemnly said, "Master Lin is right. My master has raised me with great kindness. A teacher for a day is a father for life. If I don't avenge my master today, I am not worthy of being his disciple. Alright, let's make the bet!"
"..." Master Lin was completely bewildered; that wasn't what he meant.
