After leaving the small square, Shen Yuan and his companions came to a huge building.
This building is dozens of meters high and looks like a round castle, covered by a huge formation.
Several people walked into the hall, surrounded by people coming and going, and some people took out items and started trading on the spot.
The waiter in charge of reception immediately came up and introduced:
“Dear guests, due to the large number of people participating in this trade fair, the overall transactions are divided into free transactions and auction transactions.
Free traders can negotiate prices with others in the hall. If they have objections to the value of the items they are trading, they can go to the trade fair appraiser for appraisal. No fees will be charged for the appraisal process.
The auction transaction is to hand the treasure to the appraiser for valuation, and then auction it together with the public trading items, but the auction transaction will charge a 10% commission. "
"In addition, if the spirit stones you bid for are insufficient, and you offer treasures as compensation, a special appraiser will appraise the treasures and estimate the price for you."
Listening to the waiter's introduction, Xue Mingzhi immediately asked on behalf of Shen Yuan:
"Things like the Heaven and Earth Qi are also traded through auctions?"
"Of course." The waiter replied softly with a smile on his face.
"So when does the auction start?"
Xue Mingzhi had just opened his mouth to ask when he was interrupted by a hearty laugh.
"Just because you, Xue Mingzhi, want to participate in the auction?"
Xue Mingzhi's face changed instantly and he looked in the direction of the sound.
Several young men in luxurious clothes and extraordinary demeanor slowly walked towards Xue Mingzhi, led by a man and a woman.
The man was wearing a lavender robe, with handsome features and an undisguised arrogance. The woman was tall and slender, with a gentle temperament, and looked at Xue Mingzhi with a faint smile in her eyes.
"Whether I participate in the auction or not is none of your business? Could it be that your Jinghai Mansion's territory has been transferred to Yunzhou, and you can control this Yunfu market?"
Li Han's expression changed. He opened the paper fan in his hand and fanned it gently, his words full of disdain.
"If it weren't for Miss Wen, I wouldn't bother with you."
The tall woman at the side said softly:
"Okay, don't start quarreling as soon as you meet.
This is the day for our Tianjiao Club to gather. I asked a friend to book a private room in the clubhouse. Mingzhi, you guys should come along too!"
As soon as these words came out, Qi Renyu and Jiang Meng's faces lit up and they quickly praised:
"I didn't expect Miss Wen to be able to book a private room in Yunfu Market."
"I heard that this trade fair was hosted by Laojun Mountain. They won't sell to anyone. Miss Wen is extraordinary."
Wen Ya smiled and said, "It's just borrowing the face of a friend."
Xue Mingzhi said with an unhappy look: "Please do as you please. I still need to accompany the gentleman around, so I won't disturb your party."
Xue Mingzhi spoke like this, which made everyone pay attention to Shen Yuan in front of him.
The cat in Shen Yuan's arms immediately attracted Wen Ya's attention.
"What a cute kitten."
However, because she was not familiar with Shen Yuan, Wen Ya did not touch him rashly. She just looked at Bai Xue in Shen Yuan's arms with admiration.
Hearing someone praising her, Bai Xue immediately straightened her body, raised her little head proudly, and signaled to Shen Yuan with her eyes.
"Look, other people also praise me for being cute."
Shen Yuan was so amused by Bai Xue's inexplicable self-esteem that he kept saying, "Okay, okay, you are very cute."
"What a clever little cat."
Wen Ya praised him and then said to Shen Yuan, "This gentleman is also Mingzhi's friend, right? Since we know each other, why don't you come with us into the private room and join the party?"
Before Shen Yuan could speak, Li Han's expression changed and he said righteously:
"He is not a member of our Tianjiao Club and is not qualified to participate in the party."
Wen Ya didn't expect Li Han's reaction to be so intense, and she immediately gave Shen Yuan an apologetic look.
Shen Yuan shook his head: "I'm just strolling around this trade fair. Thank you for your kindness."
Shen Yuan said this, Xue Mingzhi quickly said:
"I want to accompany the gentleman, you go first."
Xue Mingzhi insisted on doing so, and even Wen Ya did not continue to persuade him.
The Tianjiao Club left, and the silent Xue Mingzhi suddenly bowed to Shen Yuan and apologized:
"I'm sorry sir, Li Han must be targeting me and that's why he refused to invite you to the box."
Shen Yuan smiled and said, "It's just a small matter.
Besides, others invited me because of you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even get an invitation. Why are you blaming yourself?"
Xue Mingzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief at Shen Yuan's indifferent attitude, and then he said cautiously:
“This Tianjiao Club was actually established by the descendants of some powerful nobles in the imperial capital. It used the Dao Forum as its foundation to gather many geniuses from the entire Daxia.
There are two conditions for entering the Tianjiao Club. The first is to become a member of the Daodao Forum. The second is to reach the Qi Transformation Realm before the age of 20."
"You have just been promoted to the Qi Transformation Realm not long ago. Logically, you should have just joined the Tianjiao Association. How could you have conflicts with others?"
Xue Mingzhi looked helpless:
“Most of the core members of the Tianjiao Club are children of the imperial capital’s rich and powerful. I have been hanging out in those circles since I was a child, and many of the conflicts are accumulated since I was a child.
That guy named Li Han is the thirteenth son of Duke Jinghai. I have had conflicts with him since childhood. He is one of the core members of the Tianjiao Club, so it is completely reasonable for him to target me. "
Shen Yuan smiled slightly, "Isn't it just that simple?"
Xue Mingzhi's expression was a little stiff, and he subconsciously didn't dare to look Shen Yuan in the eye.
"Actually, it has something to do with Wen Ya. Li Han likes Wen Ya, but Wen Ya treats me very well, so Li Han is hostile to me." "I think she treats you very well, and your feelings for her seem a bit complicated. Are you lovers?"
The expression on Xue Mingzhi's face became more and more distorted. He subconsciously didn't want to speak, but he didn't have the courage to refuse in front of Shen Yuan. He could only whisper:
"She has been living in my house since she was very young and was my secret crush during my childhood."
"Just that?"
"Then one day my father told me that she was my grandfather's illegitimate daughter and my biological aunt."
Shen Yuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly, and even Bai Xue in his arms couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard such explosive news.
This kind of plot was much more exciting than those human romance dramas she watched at home. She couldn't help but wave her little paws at Xue Mingzhi to signal him to say more.
"Ahem! This is your family's private matter, so let's not talk about it for now."
"But you have to get back the face you lost in front of your aunt and your crush."
With Xue Mingzhi's complicated expression on his face, Shen Yuan suppressed his smile and waved his hand, then asked the waiter beside him:
"What qualifications do you need to get a box?"
The waiter responded respectfully: "You need to auction off treasures of sufficient value, or exchange them for a certain amount of spirit stones."
Shen Yuan nodded and casually threw out a storage ring that looked as delicate as white jade.
"Make an appointment for me with your manager."
Everyone from the Tianjiao Club walked into the private rooms on the second floor. There were dozens of private rooms surrounding the entire second floor, and on average the area occupied by each room was not that large.
There were more than thirty people from the Tianjiao Club crammed into one private room, which seemed relatively crowded.
"It's a bit small!" Qi Renyu whispered to himself.
As soon as he opened his mouth, someone immediately scolded him:
"Shut up! It's not easy for Miss Wen to book this box. Do you know who is in the other boxes on the same floor?"
"The Yuezhou Yang Family, Qingzhou Guanxing Sect, Binzhou Mo Family, Fujian Sect, Houtu Sect, etc. are all powerful sects and families that dominate one side, and some of them even have a blessed land.
No matter how extraordinary your family is, it is only in the imperial capital, and they will not care about your status. "
Qi Renyu suddenly became silent.
"It's just a trade fair, how come so many big shots are here?"
“It was because Laojun Mountain suddenly proposed to auction the Qi of Heaven and Earth, which directly attracted all the surrounding aristocratic families and sects.
If this transaction had not been too short, there would have been more sects and families present.
You have to know that this is the first heavenly Qi to appear in the world after the spiritual energy tide. If it fits the secret book of a certain sect, it may be able to quickly cultivate a genius in the realm of true person. "
"Laojun Mountain really spent a lot of money."
At this moment, Jiang Meng suddenly looked up. Above the second floor of the trade fair, there was a smallest third floor.
Although it has the smallest area, the third floor has only five private rooms, each of which is several times larger than the one on the second floor.
"What kind of people should be in the box on the third floor?"
Jiang Meng couldn't help but sigh.
Li Han laughed and said, "Don't even think about going to the third floor. Even if my father came here, he might not be able to go up to the third floor."
“It is said that the private rooms on the third floor are reserved for the Zhennan Marquisate, the Imperial Observatory, and the newly rising Sun family of Cangzhou.
As for the last two boxes, they are extremely mysterious, and even I couldn’t find out any specific information.”
Although Li Han's father was the respected Duke of Jinghai, it was only an honorary title of a founding noble. His status and position were far inferior to that of the Marquis of Zhennan, who was in charge of the three states in the southern region and controlled the Zhennan Army.
But as a core figure of the Tianjiao Club, Li Han's words still caused a wave of praise.
"Vice President Li is being modest."
"Since the Duke is here, he must have a seat on the third floor."
"The Duke has a lot of experience, even the Marquis of Zhennan has to show some respect."
Wen Ya didn't want to pay attention to Li Han's words. At this moment, she was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the box, looking down as if she was looking for something.
Li Han's smile faded slightly when he saw this: "Miss Wen, since Xue Mingzhi himself doesn't want to enter this box and is hanging out with a bunch of peasants down there, why should you worry about him?"
"We have finally gathered together. Are we going to let that ignorant guy ruin the atmosphere of the party?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they naturally aroused a chorus of agreement.
"I think Xue Mingzhi is totally ungrateful!"
"Miss Wen, please don't spoil everyone's fun."
Qi Renyu, who knew he had said the wrong thing, quickly joined the crowd and echoed, "We took the initiative to invite Xue Mingzhi, but we didn't expect that he would be chosen.
He doesn't even consider his own status. Without everyone's help, even if he calls his father over, he may not be able to sit in the room on the second floor."
The words suddenly stopped in the middle, and Qi Renyu looked towards the third floor through the floor-to-ceiling window with a shocked expression.
"Well, well, well."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a cute black and white kitten lying in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in a huge private room on the third floor, looking around curiously.
"It's Mr. Shen's cat!"
There was dead silence in the box.
