Chapter 916 Black Scales
The old man looked at the bearded man expectantly.
The bearded man looked a little hesitant. As he listened to the words coming from around him, he felt more and more that this Yuanmo Banner was not worth spending so many Honghuang Pearls on.
He didn't plan to bid.
"One thousand and one hundred Great Desolation Pearls, is there anyone else bidding?"
The scene was silent.
Finally, the old man finalized the auction price.
Soon a waiter walked up quickly, carefully took the Daoyuan Demon Banner with both hands, then held it down from the auction table and presented it to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan took out a bag full of Honghuang beads from his arms, handed it to the waiter, and then put the Daoyuan Demon Banner into the storage space.
At this moment, the second auction item was also presented.
Everyone's attention returned to the auction table.
At this moment, Sui Changyun and Jing Zifu looked at Chen Yan in confusion. They couldn't understand why Chen Yan wanted to take a picture of the Daoyuan Demon Banner which belonged to the demon clan.
Although they were puzzled, they did not ask.
Because this must be Chen Yan's intention.
Suddenly, Chen Yan seemed to sense something and looked towards the back of the auction table. Her eyes narrowed slightly and she felt someone was staring at her.
Is there a mechanism on the wall behind the auction table?
As it turned out, Chen Yan's guess was correct.
Because at this moment, in a secret dark room behind this wall, Jin Sui Zi was standing there quietly.
The interior layout of this dark room is not much different from that of an ordinary auction box. The only difference is that in front of Jin Suizi is not a solid wall, but a huge crystal screen.
Through this crystal screen, every detail of the auction scene can be clearly reflected.
Jin Suizi was indeed staring at Chen Yan on the crystal screen.
But what he never expected was that when he was concentrating, Chen Yan seemed to sense his gaze and suddenly turned to look in his direction!
In an instant, Jin Suizi was startled and felt embarrassed as if he was caught red-handed.
He subconsciously wanted to dodge, fearing that his eyes would meet Shen Yan's head-on.
But he soon realized...
Chen Yan couldn't see him at all.
Jin Suizi cursed himself inwardly: "Why do you feel guilty?"
What is there to feel guilty about?
He sat down, picked up the spiritual fruit on the table and took a bite.
He raised his eyes, stared at Chen Yan who was on the other side of the wall, and chuckled, "Come over if you have the guts."
Not long after, the door of the dark room was opened and a tall figure came in. He sat down directly next to Jin Suizi.
"Don't you want to rest?" asked the tall man.
Jin Suizi said calmly, "I just had the urge to come and see what's going on at the auction."
The tall man's eyes fell on the gauze wrapped around his neck. His eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a dangerous light. He said in the calmest tone possible: "Are you poisoned? Have you seen a doctor?"
"I can't solve it." Jin Suizi didn't even look at him from beginning to end.
The tall man said, "So that's why you are controlled by others?"
"Not really." Jin Suizi felt a little cold in his heart. He turned his head to look at the tall man and said, "Don't worry about this matter. I will handle it myself."
The tall man was silent for a moment after hearing this: "Sui Zi, I hope you won't be soft-hearted when dealing with things."
Jin Suizi looked at the man in front of her.
The man looked to be about thirty years old, with some fine lines at the corners of his eyes, a pair of peach blossom eyes, a strong and tall build, thin lips, dark pupils, and was wearing a white robe. He looked like an elegant and romantic gentleman.
This person is the master of the entire underground trading city - Xie Shiwang.
Jin Suizi chuckled with a hint of sarcasm.
"Don't worry, I will definitely be more ruthless than you."
Upon hearing this, Xie Shiwang pursed his lips and fell silent.
The two of them were in the same room, but the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Jin Suizi just pretended that Xie Shiwang didn't exist. He deliberately restrained his gaze from looking at Chen Yan.
However, his face soon darkened.
Because he saw a young and handsome man behind Chen Yan. The man looked particularly charming and looked like a male concubine!
He actually took the initiative to talk to Chen Yan and chatted for a long time.
The alienation and indifference in Chen Yan's eyes faded away, and when she turned her head to look at the man, she seemed to be... smiling.
There was a hint of danger in Jin Suizi's eyes, and the coldness from him became even more intense.
Xie Shiwang noticed his abnormality and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Jin Suizi came to his senses instantly and suppressed the murderous intent in his heart.
He did not answer, but took out a walnut and kept turning it over and over, as if trying to calm his restless emotions.
He seemed... a little too concerned about Shen Yan.
It is obvious that Chen Yan's appearance is not good-looking at all and does not conform to his aesthetic taste.
Xie Shiwang is naturally not an ordinary person. His insight and sensitivity far exceed those of ordinary people.
Even though Jin Suizi tried his best to conceal and cover up the person he cared about, he still could not escape Xie Shiwang's eyes.
As for who it was, he couldn't tell for a moment.
Until he saw Jing Zifu.
Jing Zifu was extremely beautiful, with eyebrows as dark as distant ink, eyes like autumn water, and skin whiter than snow, like a fairy walking out of a painting.
At this moment, her black and shiny hair was a little messy, but it did not affect her beauty at all.
She has a tough look and a great temperament.
Of course, Xie Shiwang also noticed Chen Yan and Sui Changyun.
But the first time he saw Chen Yan, he thought that this woman was definitely not the person Jin Sui Zi was interested in.
Because he knew very well that Jin Suizi was a person who attached great importance to appearance.
"Do you have someone you like?" Xie Shiwang asked casually.
Jin Suizi was slightly startled, then he smiled.
"Who do you think I would like? Don't think you know me very well. The person I like must be both talented and beautiful."
Xie Shiwang: “…” When did I not know that you like people who are both talented and beautiful?
He didn't contradict his words.
He just said, "If you really like a girl, you can bring her to see me."
"Why do I want to see you?"
Xie Shiwang stared at him, "Because I am your father."
Jin Suizi's hand, which was twisting the walnut, suddenly stopped. He stared at Xie Shiwang coldly and said, "You are not my father!"
After saying this, he suddenly stood up and was about to leave the dark room.
"Sui Zi!"
Xie Shiwang's face darkened and he shouted.
With a bang, the darkroom door was closed.
The servants guarding outside the dark room looked gloomy when they saw this and hurriedly followed Jin Suizi's pace.
Jin Suizi's eyes were cold, and he suddenly felt an itch on his arm. He lifted his arm slightly, and black scales grew on his originally smooth and fair skin.
He quickly covered it.
There was a flash of disgust in his eyes.
He stopped and turned to look at the servants, "Bring out the incense burner!"
When the servants heard this, they skillfully took out the incense burners and lit them. In an instant, a strong fragrance spread out, so strong that it was a bit pungent.
"What can you smell now?" Jin Suizi narrowed his eyes and stared at the servants.
The servants looked at each other and said timidly, "Fragrance."
Only then did Jin Suizi feel relieved.
