Chapter 429 Going to the Auction House
It’s over. I hope that Luo Qi will go there secretly again.
Luo Li had a headache again, and then she thought it through.
Forget it, she will go to the Continent of Ten Thousand Beasts anyway. Although she thinks her father has already gone to the Gods, what if Luo Qi is still in Ten Thousand Beasts when she goes there?
Mo Xuan watched Luo Li thinking, but didn't interrupt. He stood up and took the five-clawed golden dragon into his arms. He said to Luo Li and the others, "Okay, I've given you the money for the little golden dragon. I'll go back first."
"Wait a minute." Luo Li called out to him.
Mo Xuan paused, "What's wrong?"
Luo Li smiled, "Master, can you do me a favor?"
Mo Xuan asked curiously, "You want me to help? What help?"
Luo Li's eyes darkened slightly, "I want to meet the emperor of the Caesar Empire at this auction."
Mo Xuan raised his eyebrows. He also knew the complicated relationship between the Longyue royal family and the Caesar royal family.
So he just nodded and said, "Okay, leave it to me."
Mo Xuan turned to leave, but suddenly turned back and smiled at Si Yi, "By the way, will you go to the gods one day?"
Luo Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly, "Yes."
Mo Xuan smiled and said, "Okay! I, Mo Xuan, will go with you then!"
Luo Li was startled, "Why?"
Mo Xuan smiled and said, "I haven't seen Luo Qi for a long time. I miss him a lot. I'll go see him with you when the time comes."
Although he said it as a joke, his eyes were full of seriousness.
Luo Li pursed her lips and nodded after a moment, "Okay."
Mo Xuan was satisfied and waved to Luo Li, "Let's go."
After saying that, he disappeared from the spot, turning into a stream of light and drifting away.
After Mo Xuan left, Mu Ze said, "This master is not the same as the rumors say."
Si Qingyun chuckled, "Although I've only met him a few times, I know that Master Mo Xuan has always been like this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become friends with Luo Qi, who was only in his early twenties back then."
Luo Li raised her eyebrows. Her father had connections all over the continent, so this statement was indeed true.
However, she didn't think that Mo Xuan wanted to go to the Gods with her because he really wanted to meet her father.
But this is their private matter. If they don't want to talk about it, Luo Li won't ask.
Just assume that he really just wanted to see his father.
After Mo Xuan left, everyone discussed the matters concerning the college competition and then went back to rest, preparing to attend the Fengyun Auction in three days.
Three days later, in the evening.
Luo Li and the others stood at the door of Fengyun Auction House, looked at each other, and walked in.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the golden plaque of Fengyun Auction House, casting mottled light and shadows.
Luo Li and the others stepped through the gate, feeling as if they had entered a magnificent palace. Inside the auction house, the lights were on, the lights were dazzling, and the air was filled with the faint scent of incense, which was refreshing.
They walked through the bustling auction hall and came to the backstage.
A waiter from Fengyun Auction House said in a gentle voice, "Sir, you are not allowed to enter here."
Luo Li raised an eyebrow, chuckled, and took out the token given by Mo Xuan, "Even with this, it won't work?"
Luo Li lightly picked up the token with her finger, and it emitted a faint glow under the lights of the auction house, as if it carried endless mystery and power.
The waiter's attention was instantly attracted. He leaned in to take a closer look, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then it was replaced by a look of respect.
"So it's the travel master who has come. I'm blind and don't recognize the great man."
Luo Li waved her hand, "Take me to the treasure appraiser, I have something to tell you."
"Okay, please follow me." The waiter didn't ask anything, but turned sideways and led Luo Li and others to the backstage.
He was also very confused. He remembered that the traveler was a young man, so how come he suddenly turned into a young girl?
He shook his head and thought, forget it, this is not what he wants to think about anymore.
He just needs to entertain the person holding the Fengyun Order.
The waiter led Luo Li and others through a series of exquisite screens and arrived at a quiet courtyard behind Fengyun Auction House.
There are all kinds of rare and exotic flowers and plants in the courtyard. When the breeze blows, the fragrance of flowers fills the air, refreshing the heart.
In the center of the yard is a small attic. The copper bells hanging on the eaves sway gently in the breeze, making pleasant sounds.
Luo Li turned her head and asked in confusion, "The auction house's appraiser is not at the auction house?"
The waiter explained, "Master, you may not know this, but ordinary treasure appraisers naturally stay in the auction house. However, Master Zhou has a high status and a great reputation, so he naturally stays in a separate courtyard."
"Master, you should also know that some distinguished guests, or those who bring very valuable treasures, are very concerned about their privacy. After all, the auction house is always crowded, so it's better to be here, where everyone can be more quiet."
Luo Li raised an eyebrow when she heard this, "I see."
It seems that Master Zhou does not usually see ordinary guests. The waiter brought them here probably because of the Fengyun Order in her hand.
However, Luo Li believed that even if she did not have the Fengyun Order in her hand for this auction item, Fengyun Auction House would invite Master Zhou to appraise the treasure.
As their thoughts flowed, they had already reached the door of the attic.
The waiter raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Master Zhou, the master is here to visit."
As the waiter knocked on the door, a steady and long voice came from the attic, "Come in."
The waiter bowed slightly and pushed the door open before entering. Luo Li and her companions followed closely behind.
Stepping into the attic is like stepping into another time and space. The rustic sandalwood tables and chairs exude a light fragrance, and several landscape paintings hang on the walls, with delicate brushstrokes and profound artistic conception.
An old man with white hair and beard was sitting at the table, playing with a piece of crystal clear jade in his hand. His eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything.
Seeing everyone coming in, Master Zhou raised his head and saw Luo Li. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He put down the jade in his hand, stood up, and nodded slightly to Luo Li, "Master, I'm sorry for not coming to greet you in person."
Luo Li smiled slightly, "How do you know that among so many people, I am the leader?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Master Zhou's eyes moved over her, as if he could see through her heart.
He smiled faintly, as warm as the spring sun: "Young Master, you may not know this, but I have a special bloodline. Although I am not a genius in cultivation, I have a pair of eyes that can see through everything in the world."
"Besides..." He smiled and pointed at Luo Li's waist, "This Wind and Cloud Order is so conspicuous that I saw it at a glance."
Master Zhou's words were like a trickle of water, flowing slowly into everyone's ears with a gentle attitude.
After hearing this, Luo Li lowered her eyes to look at her waist and chuckled, "It was my negligence."
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room seemed to become more harmonious because of this simple conversation.
Master Zhou stood up and asked, "Young Master, was this Wind and Cloud Order given to you by Master Mo Xuan?"
