When the price of 300 million was announced, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
"Aren't you going to count down yet?" The woman's voice broke the silence.
Luo Yu finally snapped out of her shock and hurriedly called out, "Room 1, offer 300 million, one time."
Lu Shi glanced at Xiao Sun and saw that the other person had a wry smile on his face.
She immediately understood that the outcome was now decided.
As the countdown ended.
Golden fireworks burst forth from Luo Yu's hands.
The fragments of the Kunlun Mirror belong to the mysterious person in room number one.
...
In a VIP reception room in the back area.
Lu Shi, Zhang Junshang, and Xiao Sun sat together on the luxurious sofa, chatting and enjoying snacks and food.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Rain fell as she entered, accompanied by two magicians carrying safes.
The three of them slowly walked up to Lu Shi and the others. Luo Yu pointed to the two safes and smiled broadly.
"Here are the Star Silver and Magic Stones that our two distinguished guests have purchased. Zhang Juntong has already paid the money. Please check them now."
Zhang Junshang and Lu Shi each took their own boxes and opened them.
Lu Shi saw the star silver inside the safe.
A piece of metal, about the size of a palm, with a silvery sheen flowing across its surface like a water droplet, mysterious yet beautiful.
In the space of consciousness, Little Scissors swayed and excitedly shouted, "That's it, that's it!"
Lu Shi ran her hand over Xing Yin discreetly, then closed the safe.
In fact, the moment Xingyin touched it, it was already taken into Xiaojianjian's consciousness space.
On the other side, Zhang Junshang finished checking the magic stones, closed the safe, stood up, picked up the safe, and politely said to Luo Yu:
"Alright, the payment is settled, it's a pleasant cooperation, then we'll take our leave now."
"It's a pleasure to work with you," Luo Yu replied with a smile.
But then she suddenly turned to Lu Shi, her tone a little awkward, and said apologetically, "Ms. Lu, may I take up a little of your time?"
Lu Shi also picked up the empty safe, preparing to leave with Zhang Junshang and the other person. Upon hearing this, she looked over in confusion.
"Um?"
"Oh, it's like this. The guests in room number one asked us to meet with Teacher Lu so they can discuss something important," Luo Yu explained urgently.
The mysterious woman in room number one?
Lu Shi was also a little curious.
Seemingly noticing Lu Shi's hesitation, Luo Yu then offered an explanation.
"Mr. Lu, it's up to you whether you go or not. However, our Top Auction House can guarantee your safety. Moreover, the other party has promised that as long as you are willing to go, they can help you purchase a Gold Membership in our auction house, which is second only to Diamond Membership."
"Gold Membership!" Zhang Junshang and Xiao Sun both exclaimed in surprise.
They represent the military district and the Magic Association respectively, and are only gold members at Top Pass Auction House.
"Teacher Lu, please go and meet him. You know, top-tier members at Dingtong Auction House are highly sought after, and there's no market for them even if they're offered at a high price."
Xiao Sun suggested, inwardly wondering if this person had caught the eye of some important figure.
He examined Lu Shi's entire body carefully again and confirmed it once more.
This is highly likely.
Zhang Junshang stared at her with some worry, wanting to offer advice but unsure how to begin.
"Okay, I agree to go." After thinking it over, Lu Shi decided to go and meet him.
After all, there's no loss in seeing it, and you can even get a seemingly valuable gold membership.
Why not?
When Zhang Junshang heard Lu Shi agree, his heart tightened for no apparent reason. However, he trusted Dingtong Auction House, and even more so, he trusted Lu Shi. He immediately said, "Teacher Lu, I've obtained the Magic Stone and need to rush back to report. I'll take my leave now. Please take care!"
"So soon! I was thinking of inviting you to dinner tonight," Lu Shi said with a hint of regret. After all, the other party had helped her secure the Star Silver, even though she had also made sacrifices. She still felt she should express her gratitude.
"Next time. Whenever I have time, I will definitely come to J City more often." Zhang Junshang felt a little tempted, but his sense of responsibility prevailed over his impulse. He said goodbye to Lu Shi and stepped out of the reception room.
Seeing this, Xiao Sun followed him out. "I'm going to see Commander Zhang off!"
Watching the two leave, Lu Shi sighed.
"Please, Mr. Lu, don't worry. Our Dingtong Auction House will arrange a car to take you away later. You are now our VIP!"
With a smile, Luo Yu led Lu Shi to an even more luxurious private room and gestured for her to enter.
Lu Shi pushed open the door and went inside herself.
...
This luxury private room is larger and more spacious, and its decoration is more luxurious.
On a luxurious reception sofa, a lady in her forties sat regally, holding a teacup in her hand and sipping her tea. Hearing the sound of the door opening, she looked up and saw Lu Shi push the door open and enter.
She put down her teacup, stood up, and gave a graceful smile, gesturing for Lu Shi to sit on the sofa opposite her.
Lu Shi sat down.
The lady came over and poured her a cup of tea before sitting back down on the sofa.
Lu Shi was somewhat flattered and politely thanked him.
However, she did not touch the teacup on the table.
The other party was not annoyed, but simply said, "Hello, Teacher Lu! Let me introduce myself. I am Jiang Yingxue, the head of the Jiang family in J City."
The voice was very calm; I had expected Lu Shi to exclaim in surprise.
Unfortunately, Lu Shi remained calm and showed no reaction whatsoever.
The Jiang family is also one of the four major magic families in J City.
She's already offended two families, so it's unclear how things will turn out for her today with the Jiang family.
If we have a good talk, let's be friends.
If things don't go well, well, the weight of the soul will come.
Seeing Lu Shi's calm reaction, Jiang Yingxue was somewhat surprised. After thinking for a moment, she quickly added:
"Oh, you might not know me. But if I mention someone, Professor Lu should know him."
"Jiang Kuanglan, he is my nephew."
OK!
It matches up.
Lu Shi sighed, recalling how her predecessor had been tricked into going to N County because of Jiang Kuanglan.
And just like that, the opportunity for revenge has come knocking on our door.
Seeing the change in Lu Shi's expression, Jiang Yingxue took another sip of tea and confidently said:
“I know it’s a bit abrupt to approach Teacher Lu today, and I’ve offered him a Gold Membership. So, there are some things I’d like to discuss with Teacher Lu. Yes, it’s about the Kunlun Mirror.”
Upon hearing the name Kunlun Mirror, Lu Shi's chest heaved slightly, but he maintained a calm demeanor and responded indifferently:
"Didn't Patriarch Jiang already bid for the Kunlun Mirror? Why would he still have questions for me? I don't know anything about it!"
"Teacher Lu, let's be frank. We have people in the Huang family in N County. The Huang family possessed a large fragment of the Kunlun Mirror. Unfortunately, N County was attacked by monsters, and the Huang family was also captured. Most of them were wiped out, and the Kunlun Mirror disappeared. According to the information our people investigated, the last person to be with the Kunlun Mirror was Teacher Lu, you."
Finally, Jiang Yingxue put down her teacup and stared intently into Lu Shi's eyes, not blinking.
"Hehe, Patriarch Jiang, you really know how to joke. You bought me a gold membership just to ask me this question? Actually, there's no need for that."
Lu Shi stared directly into Jiang Yingxue's eyes, equally defiant, and replied earnestly:
"I am a woman of limited knowledge and have never seen what the Kunlun Mirror looks like. In fact, even if the Kunlun Mirror were placed in front of me, I would not recognize it."
"Really?" Jiang Yingxue asked with a smile.
Suddenly, her face darkened, and she raised her right hand. In the blue light, a gentle breeze swept across a corner of the room, lifting a black cloth to reveal a mirror about half a person's height underneath.
