"I don't like making friends either."
Xiao Chen looked at the female practitioner and said calmly.
“…”
The female practitioner frowned slightly. Is she so tactless?
Without waiting for her to say anything else, Wang Pingbei revealed the aura of foundation building.
This startled her and she didn't dare to say anything more and left in a hurry.
"Want to follow us in, huh."
Wang Pingbei looked at the female practitioner's back and sneered.
"Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to see through her purpose at first sight."
"Hmm? Is she trying to sneak in with us?"
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"yes."
Wang Pingbei was stunned.
"Brother Chen, didn't you see that? Then why did you reject her?"
"Because she is too old and not pretty."
Xiao Chen replied.
"If it's a pretty girl, I'll definitely agree."
“…”
Wang Pingbei was speechless. Did she simply think she was too old and not pretty?
"Why do you want to get involved with us?"
Xiao Chen said casually.
“Brother Chen, don’t look at the large number of people here. Most of them are not qualified to enter… One thousand spirit stones is not something that anyone can take out.”
Wang Pingbei smiled bitterly.
"In your eyes, a thousand spirit stones may not be a big deal, but in the eyes of most people, including me, it is also a huge amount of resources!"
"Well, if you can't go in, then why are you here to join in the fun?"
Xiao Chen was puzzled.
"I thought everyone was here for the auction."
"Some people will find ways to get in. For example, didn't the woman just now set her sights on us?"
Wang Pingbei said with a smile.
"Some people will pool their spirit stones together to exchange for an admission ticket... One admission ticket can bring two people in, so for three people, each person can pay 300 spirit stones."
"Then how many people can I bring with my invitation?"
Xiao Chen took out the invitation letter and asked with a smile.
"It seems like five."
Wang Pingbei thought about it and replied.
"Those who can enter the box are privileged... at least five."
"Haha, privilege... this thing really is everywhere."
Xiao Chen smiled playfully.
"Come on, let's go in."
"Uh-huh."
Wang Pingbei nodded and followed Xiao Chen towards the door of the auction house.
There was already a queue in front of the gate.
The people at the auction are verifying entry qualifications.
"Look, there are quite a few people who can afford a thousand spirit stones."
Xiao Chen looked at the team in front of him and said.
"There must be dozens of them just in front of us."
"Hehe, not necessarily. Some of them may have been bought with spirit stones, which don't even cost three hundred spirit stones."
Wang Pingbei said with a smile.
"What's the meaning?"
Xiao Chen was puzzled.
"As I said earlier, if three people come together, each with more than 300 spirit stones, we can collect a total of 1,000 spirit stones and obtain admission, right?"
Wang Pingbei explained.
"Some people, even if they have the qualification, will not enter, but will sell it... Some people who don't have a thousand spirit stones, or even three hundred spirit stones, can spend a few spirit stones to buy the qualification, which is equivalent to a zero-cost transaction."
"Can you still do this? Isn't this equivalent to scalping?"
Xiao Chen was surprised.
“What is a scalper?”
Wang Pingbei didn't understand.
"nothing."
Xiao Chen didn't explain, but asked a question.
"What can someone who doesn't even have a thousand spirit stones do at an auction?"
"Haha, the auction will release some small items, which can be considered a 'welfare'. The big guys may not be very interested in them, but for ordinary people, they are pretty good things."
Wang Pingbei smiled.
"These little gadgets can also liven up the atmosphere. One of the goals of these people is to use them."
"One of the targets? Are there other targets?"
Xiao Chen became even more curious.
"Brother Chen, look at that female cultivator... isn't she quite young and pretty?"
Wang Pingbei smiled and pointed at a female practitioner in front of him.
"Not bad, but the realm is a bit low, middle stage of Huajin?"
Xiao Chen took a look and said.
"Their goal in getting in was not the items, but the people..."
Wang Pingbei blinked.
"What if, by chance, I could meet a man who would work 20 years less? Those pretty boys think the same way."
"Auntie, I don't want to struggle anymore?"
Xiao Chen had a strange look on his face. Damn, is this also the case in Tianwai Tian?
As expected, human nature is like this. Such things will happen no matter in the past or present, no matter in which world.
"No, if they meet someone, will they spend a few spirit stones to buy an admission ticket?"
Xiao Chen thought of something and asked curiously.
"Then it all depends on who has better means and vision."
Wang Pingbei grinned.
"These women are all capable. I've encountered them before... hehe, they satisfy all my perverted hobbies."
“…”
Xiao Chen looked down on him and condemned him, but in his heart he felt a little bit of anticipation, wondering if any woman would target him.
Of course, she has to be young and beautiful. Forget about the middle-aged lady like the one just now.
"Brother Chen, once you sit in the box with the number of people, as soon as you show your face, I guess a lot of female cultivators will come up to you."
Wang Pingbei smiled and was quite looking forward to it.
"I never rely on these external things to pick up girls. I always rely on my appearance."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"That's not right. Didn't you say before that the human-shaped room was worth ten high-quality spirit stones?"
"I mean at least... At an auction, doesn't everything have a starting price? It's not certain how much it will be sold for in the end."
Wang Pingbei explained.
"Also, I used to participate with my seniors, so I don't know much about these things..."
"All right."
Xiao Chen nodded. It was really an eye-opener to attend an auction.
"Brother Chen, I think since we have this invitation, we can skip the queue and go directly."
Wang Pingbei looked at the invitation letter and said.
“Not only do you not have to queue, you can also go directly to the box.”
"Just wait in line. There's nothing to do. You can also look at the beauties."
Xiao Chen said casually.
"If I get privileges, can I still attract beautiful women with my looks?"
“…”
Wang Pingbei was speechless and just let him do it.
A few minutes later, Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei were getting closer and closer to the gate.
There were only three people left in front.
"It's finally our turn."
Wang Pingbei breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't understand why Xiao Chen didn't just go in directly.
If you have privileges but don't use them, then you have something wrong with your brain, right?
Of course, he could only think about it in his mind, he didn't dare say it out loud.
"Seven."
Xiao Chen suddenly said something.
"What seven?"
Wang Pingbei was stunned.
"I saw seven nice beauties."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"If you go in early and sit in the box, can you see the beauties? Can you have fun with the people?"
“…”
Wang Pingbei was speechless. What a great way to share happiness with the people.
"Look, that's the seventh one, how about that?"
Xiao Chen pointed to a place and said.
Wang Pingbei looked over and his eyes lit up: "Not bad, she's a little Taoist nun?"
"Is that a Taoist nun? That's offensive."
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"I thought she wore that."
"A Taoist nun is not a Buddhist nun... Brother Chen, you have a very good eye."
Wang Pingbei was flattering him, but his mind was racing with thoughts, he must help Xiao Chen to capture this little nun.
With such a gentle place, would Xiao Chen still cause trouble?
I don’t even have the energy to cause trouble!
"Get out of the way...line up over there."
Just when Wang Pingbei was thinking about how to help Xiao Chen deal with this little nun, an arrogant voice was heard.
Xiao Chen turned his head and couldn't help but frown. Why are they here again?
"Oh shit."
Wang Pingbei also cursed inwardly, is this like dancing in the King of Hell's palace, seeking death madly?
Soon, several young masters came over and saw Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei.
"Young Master Gongsun."
Upon seeing this, the people from the Longteng Chamber of Commerce hurried forward, bowed, and bowed respectfully.
"Young Master Gongsun?"
Hearing this address, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed. Could it be someone from Shanhai Tower?
Isn’t the person in charge of Shanhai Tower in Sifang City called Gongsun Zhen?
"Um."
The young man in Chinese clothes nodded and his eyes fell on Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei.
Building foundation?
So what?
After all, we are outsiders and have to queue up obediently.
This is Sifang City, his territory!
No matter whether it is a dragon or a tiger, once it comes to Sifang City, it has to lie coiled up!
"I didn't expect to see you again."
The young man in Chinese clothes spoke in a mocking tone, forgetting what his ancestor said about "keeping a low profile".
"I just asked you a question, and you haven't answered yet."
"That's right. Young Master Gongsun asked you a question, and you dare not answer?"
The lackey got excited again and shouted loudly.
"Humph, you think you are arrogant because you are at the foundation building stage? Young Master Gongsun is from Shanhai Tower, you cannot afford to offend him."
"Shanhai Tower? Haha, it's worthy of being the second floor. It's so majestic."
After Xiao Chen confirmed the identity, he smiled.
Wang Pingbei felt a little depressed. He didn't expect that this guy was actually from Shanhai Tower.
He stole a glance at Xiao Chen and saw that he was smiling. He breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that he wouldn't kill someone in public, right?
"Are you scared now? I tell you, hurry up and apologize to Young Master Gongsun, otherwise..."
The lackey is showing his fangs and claws.
"What else?"
Suddenly, a voice came from afar, interrupting the lackey's words.
The lackey was furious, who is this?
Xiao Chen was startled, turned his head and looked, his smile became even wider.
"Zhao Ritian?"
Wang Pingbei was also a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet him here.
At the same time, he felt relieved. Based on their speculation about Zhao Ritian, this guy should be related to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Brother Chen."
Zhao Ritian stepped forward, ignoring everyone else, and greeted Xiao Chen with a smile.
"I was originally planning to go in and look for Brother Chen, but I didn't expect to run into him outside."
"Haha, I didn't expect that either."
Xiao Chen smiled. With Zhao Ritian around, this conflict should be avoided for the time being.
He also didn't want to do anything to Young Master Gongsun in public, so he would wait until the auction was over... and find a chance to do it.
"So what about Shanhai Tower? Who are you trying to scare? What else can you do?"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhao Ritian looked at the young masters and his voice turned cold.
"Who are you?"
The young man in Chinese clothes frowned and looked at Zhao Ritian.
It takes a lot of courage to say this in public!
"???"
Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei were a little confused. They didn’t know Zhao Ritian?
That’s not right. Shouldn’t they be in the same circle?
Isn’t Zhao Ritian from the City Lord’s Mansion?
It has nothing to do with Zhao Cangqiong?
