Duan Wensheng looked at Long Yi's departing back, a sinister flash in his eyes. Long Yi had already sentenced him to death for sending Duan Shaoyang to prison, and now he was provoking him in public. If he didn't make Long Yi disappear, he would never be able to survive in Jinghai in the future.
The subordinate said angrily: "Master Duan, are we just going to let this kid leave like this?"
Duan Wensheng said angrily, "Did you just get your brains blasted? Long Yi is clearly in the limelight right now. If we act rashly, we'll only give him an advantage. What we need to do is find a suitable opportunity to make him disappear!"
After saying that, several people walked into the auction house.
"Stop! Go line up at the back." Colonel Liu said coldly.
Duan Wensheng faced the other person's murderous eyes and said with a stiff upper lip, "Those people behind me voluntarily let me stand in front of them, so why should I queue?"
Liu Yuecheng's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "I'm telling you this for the last time, get in line at the back!"
"You...you're not even willing to give the Medicine Association a little bit of face?"
In fact, Duan Wensheng really wanted to line up at the end of the queue, but he felt embarrassed under the watchful eyes of the crowd and could only pray in his heart that Liu Yuecheng would show leniency to him.
Liu Yuecheng's face remained calm as he shouted into the intercom, "Team Two, come to me and throw these four people who broke the rules to the end of the team."
Duan Wensheng's heart sank when he heard this, and he quickly changed his tone and said, "Colonel Liu, you are too kind. I'd better go to the end of the line and queue up myself."
But it was too late. The moment Duan Wensheng finished speaking, he felt his head and feet being lifted up by two strong forces. His whole body was instantly suspended half a meter in the air, being carried by two soldiers in an extremely shameful posture.
Liu Yuecheng said coldly, "Since you don't know how to queue, I will teach you how to write the word 'rules' today."
The main reason why he was so serious was to stand up for Long Yi. If Long Yi hadn't existed, he would have turned a blind eye to Duan Wensheng's queue-jumping. However, Duan Wensheng had offended Long Yi so much before, so naturally he had to punish the other party to the greatest extent of his authority.
The eight soldiers from Group 2 carried the four people to the end of the team and threw them to the ground roughly. The four people stood up in a very embarrassed manner and patted the dust off their bodies, but did not dare to complain at all.
There were whispers of laughter among the people in the queue. It was obvious that punishing the arrogant Duan Wensheng was what everyone wanted.
"Those who disregard the rules should be punished. Otherwise, the people from the Alchemy Association will look arrogant wherever they go."
"I think Duan Wensheng ended up in such a miserable state because he provoked that young man named Long Yi."
"I think so too. Duan Wensheng is used to picking on the weak. He didn't expect to hit a wall this time. He must be feeling the pain."
These criticisms naturally fell into Duan Wensheng's ears. He secretly clenched his fists and felt more and more hatred towards Long Yi.
In the Lingxiao Auction Hall, Long Yi was able to sit in the top VIP area with either Liao Jianli's VIP card or the Yiren Order. Ling Lei, the young master of Lingxiao Pavilion, sat in the seat next to Long Yi.
Long Yi asked, "Brother Ling, will there be any alchemy furnaces above the Earth Rank appearing at this auction?"
Ling Lei pondered for a moment and then said, "Brother Long, alchemy furnaces above the Earth Rank are strictly controlled by the Alchemy Association. They are usually hard to come by. But you don't have to be too disappointed. Some guests who come to the auction will also bring their own items to auction, and perhaps there will be a furnace above the Earth Rank among them."
A gleam of brilliance flashed in Long Yi's eyes, and he asked in surprise, "Does this mean that guests can bring their own items to the on-site auction?"
Ling Lei affirmed, "Yes, but there is a prerequisite. Our appraisers at Lingxiao Pavilion can only roughly appraise the treasures provided by these guests. As for whether you make a profit or loss, it depends on your own ability."
Long Yi nodded slightly. Although this free auction session met the needs of different guests, for buyers, high returns also came with high risks.
After all, to distinguish the authenticity of a spiritual treasure in a short auction period is a huge test of eyesight and courage.
As the red curtain slowly opened, the originally dark auction table gradually became brighter. The construction style was spacious and minimalist.
Tap, tap, tap... The sound of pointed high heels stepping on the ground came from behind the curtain. It was crisp and loud, and seemed to have a captivating effect.
A beautiful woman in a black Prada suit and short skirt walked to the front of the stage with a microphone in her hand. She had a delicate, fair, oval face, upturned almond-shaped eyes, and red lips in the color of red under her delicate nose, which made her look very cool and gave people a very aggressive beauty.
Long Yi whispered to Ling Lei, "Brother Ling, your Lingxiao Pavilion is truly remarkable. Even the auctioneer is so stunningly beautiful."
Ling Lei frowned when he heard this: "Brother Long, this is my sister Ling Bingqian, the current Pavilion Master of Lingxiao Pavilion. She's probably here to give the opening speech."
Long Yi touched his nose in embarrassment. It was really unheard of for him to mistake the Pavilion Master of Lingxiao Pavilion for an auctioneer. If the girl knew about this, she would be furious.
After Ling Bingqian took the stage, the entire auction house fell into a state of silence, and she nodded in satisfaction before saying:
"This year's Lingxiao Auction House has officially begun. Thank you all for coming..."
After Ling Bingqian finished her opening speech, she walked towards the stage with her long snow-white legs. From the side, her waist was even more slender, and her curves were perfect. Long Yi didn't know where to put his eyes for a moment.
Ye Qingxue's pretty face was covered with frost. "Does it look good? If so, I'll get your contact information."
Long Yi said sullenly, "She's barely half as pretty as you. Forget about her contact information."
"Hmph! You're so smooth-talking." Ye Qingxue said coquettishly. Although she knew that Long Yi was trying to cheer her up, she couldn't help but feel excited in her heart. Her whole heart felt like it was soaked in a honey pot.
In fact, if you have to compare Ling Bingqian and Ye Qingxue, their overall appearance and figure are comparable, but Ye Qingxue gives people the feeling of being cold on the outside but warm on the inside. After falling in love with Long Yi, she became a complete clingy person, wishing she could stick to Long Yi every day.
Ling Bingqian gives people the feeling that she is cold on the outside and even colder on the inside. Even if the outer layer of ice melts, the inside is still a harder lump of ice, as if the four big words "Keep Out" are written on her forehead.
After Ling Bingqian stepped down from the stage, a young woman of average appearance came up. She was wearing white gloves and had a friendly smile on her face. This time, she was undoubtedly the auctioneer.
The auctioneer smiled slightly, then said gently, "Welcome everyone. The auction is now officially underway. Let me introduce the first item."
After that, a woman in a retro cheongsam brought a tray covered with black cloth and placed it on the auction table.
