In the bustling auction hall, countless rich and powerful people in gorgeous clothes gathered here, staring at the various rare treasures displayed on the stage with ardent eyes, eager to get them into their pockets.
Nangong Yi sat on the stool in front of the table and opened the fan in his hand with a "snap".
"I've asked someone to investigate your identity. You are the eldest daughter of the Lu family, Lu Taoxi, right?"
Song Jiao raised her eyes slightly, "So what?
"Ms. Lu, I hope you can trade that elixir directly to me." Nangong Yi said straight to the point, "In return, I can protect the Lu family forever."
Song Jiao smiled slightly. She knew Nangong Yi's identity and status, and also knew what he was planning.
But so what?
"Asylum? Are you kidding? There's no chance of this deal! Just leave on your own!"
Song Jiao just thought it was ridiculous.
"It's not your turn to protect the Lu family. Why do you need this pill? Do I need to explain it to you?"
Just then, footsteps were heard at the door and a tall man pushed the door open and walked in.
He couldn't help but get angry when he saw Song Jiao's attitude towards Nangong Yi.
"Miss Lu, please pay attention to your attitude, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
However, before he could make a move, he felt a powerful force coming towards him and instantly lost consciousness.
Song Jiao stood at the door, holding a long sword in her hand and a faint smile on her face.
She looked at the man lying on the ground, shook her head gently, and said, "You don't know your own limitations."
The other person's body had been broken in two, with his internal organs and intestines spilling all over the floor.
Nangong Yi didn't expect Lu Taoxi to take direct action. Since talking wouldn't work, he could only use some tricks!
He had investigated and found that Lu Taoxi's strength was only level five, so it was not impossible to kill her.
"Since Miss Lu is unwilling to cooperate, then we can only offend her."
The door was opened and a group of killers in night clothes rushed in.
Nangong Yi wanted his secret guards to get rid of Song Jiao, but he didn't expect that these people would all fall to the ground in pain as soon as they entered the room.
Their bodies curled up together, groaning, their faces pale, and their eyes filled with fear and pain.
Nangong Yi was shocked, he realized that these secret guards were poisoned.
He immediately turned around and wanted to leave the room.
"Since you're here, why are you leaving?" Song Jiao sat on the chair without changing her expression, lowering her eyes and playing with the small porcelain bottle in her hand.
"What do you want to do?" Nangong Yi asked vigilantly.
Song Jiao sneered, "What do you think I'm going to do? They say even if a deal fails, there's still friendship. Are you trying to silence me?"
"I'm a good person in every way, except that I hold a grudge!"
At one point, she raised her sword and pointed it at Nangong Yi.
Another powerful sword energy flew out, and a huge mysterious pressure enveloped the entire room.
Nangong Yi was forced to kneel on the ground, unable to move.
His face was no longer as calm as before. His body was shaking as he backed away. "Don't come over here. I'm Nangong Yi. If you kill me, neither you nor the Lu family will survive here! No one in the Nangong family will let you go!"
His eyes were wide open, filled with fear and anxiety.
His face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he let out a faint whimper.
Beads of sweat formed on his forehead and his body was tense.
His breathing was rapid and erratic, his chest heaving violently.
His hands and feet trembled involuntarily, as if his entire body had lost control.
"Nangong family? Are they very powerful?"
Song Jiao stood in front of the man, her scabbard lifting his chin. Her smile was charming and mysterious, full of danger.
Anyone who can threaten the existence of the Lu family cannot exist.
But who says that male protagonists are all superior? In the face of absolute strength, aren't they also useless?
Nangong Yi sensed Song Jiao's murderous intent. He crawled to his feet and tried to rush to the door.
Song Jiao raised her hand, and a sword energy came out instantly, directly splitting the man in half.
Nangong Yi's body fell to the ground, blood gushed out, and the ground was filled with the smell of blood.
Song Jiao looked at the man's body, her smile became even more charming and mysterious, as if this was something very interesting.
Then he turned around, reached out and shook the wind chimes by the window.
After a series of ding-dong sounds, the waiter rushed to the door of the box. As soon as he entered, he was so frightened by the scene inside that he fell to the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"Miss...what do you want?"
It’s so horrible, like hell on earth.
Song Jiao ignored it and said calmly: "It's dirty here, please change a private room for me!"
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away and arrange it." The waiter stood up tremblingly.
My legs were shaking uncontrollably, and I almost dropped the tray in my hand. I was filled with fear and panic.
Subconsciously, I wanted to escape from this place.
Song Jiao just watched the waiter leave quietly, then asked in her heart, "Tuanzi, why do you think he's so scared? Am I that scary?"
The corners of Tuanzi's mouth twitched slightly. How could a normal person not be scared when seeing a person split in half?
"Host, any normal person would be scared, okay!"
"Is that so? It seems like I'm not a normal person?" Song Jiao murmured to herself.
Tuanzi was speechless. The host finally realized that she was no longer a normal person. Would a normal person fight ghosts? Would a normal person go crazy?
They moved to a new private room. Although it was cleaner, Song Jiao still felt that the smell of blood on her body was too strong.
He immediately changed his clothes and watched the auction that had already started downstairs as if nothing had happened.
Auction House First Floor Box
The crowd was bustling and shouting, but Lu Yunli seemed to be out of the picture. Her eyes were fixed on every item on the booth, her eyes full of anticipation and nervousness.
Her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it would jump out of her chest at any moment.
She waited quietly, waiting for the Lingxuan Pill to appear.
"Knock knock knock" There was a knock on the wooden door. Lu Yunli looked at the door with some irritation, "Come in!"
The waiter held a letter in front of her and said, "Ms. Lu, someone just asked me to give this letter to you. He said you must read it."
Qin sat aside, leaning on her crutches with both hands. She looked at the envelope and couldn't help but sneer, "What's the matter? Can't you just come in and tell me? You have to write a letter."
Lu Yunli opened the envelope and did not miss any words in the letter. Her face became increasingly ugly and gloomy when she read the last sentence.
There was an unconcealable hostility in his eyes as he looked at Qin.
Fortunately, she still thought that this woman was really good to her. It turned out that she did it for the money left by her parents.
At this moment, the finale pill was brought up by the auctioneer.
"This is today's grand finale auction item, the Lingxuan Pill. The starting price is 8 million gold coins. Open the bidding."
