Chapter 258 International Auction
The man from Country M in a suit and tie walked towards Xiao Liyue and said apologetically, "Miss Xiao, I'm so sorry. The security guards are new and don't know much. Please forgive me."
Xiao Liyue looked at the strange young man in front of her without saying anything.
Seeing this, Jiang Che walked up to Xiao Liyue and looked at the man with vigilance. He didn't expect that Neil Purvis, the president of the international auction house, would come in person to pick him up.
Neil Purvis realized that Xiao Liyue might not understand American language, so he immediately continued in standard Imperial language: "Miss Xiao, I'm really sorry. The new security guard is ignorant. I hope Miss Xiao won't be angry."
"He is the president of the International Auction House, Neil Purvis." Jiang Che said beside her.
Xiao Liyue nodded and said, "Yes! Hello Neil Purvis, I am Xiaoyue from the Empire."
Neil Purvis saw that she called him by his full name and had no business, so he still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and smiled, "Hello, Miss Xiao, please come in. If you have any questions or encounter any troubles, you can tell me."
Jiang Che smiled and said, "Don't bother President Neil, you can get busy first!"
"Okay! I'll be busy for a while. See you at the party, Miss Xiao." Neil Purvis bowed politely and turned to get busy.
Before leaving, he did not forget to tell the people around him to throw the security guard and the woman who had just offended Xiao Liyue out of the international auction house. After saying that, he turned around and smiled at her.
Jiang Che said with a wary look on his face: "Master Xiao, be careful of this man. He doesn't look like a good person. Neil Purvis is not only the president of an international auction house, but also the son of the president of Country M. He may become the president of Country M in the future. So he definitely has no good intentions in approaching you."
Professor Hou nodded and said, "Xiao Jiang is right. Master Xiao, although you are very capable, it is difficult to guard against villains. You still need to be wary of people like Neil Purvis."
Xiao Liyue smiled and said, "Don't worry! I know what I am doing, and they can't hurt me."
In just one and a half months, her number of fans has exceeded 3 billion, which is more than the number of fans of the Empire's official account. In addition to the people of the Empire, people from other countries also follow her.
Except for the amulet, which only the imperial people can buy, the other amulets are not included, so basically everyone knows her.
The purpose of that blonde beauty was very clear. She bumped into him on purpose, and the security guard probably did so under someone's instructions.
Without guessing, Xiao Liyue knew that it was Neil Purvis who did it. He probably wanted to take this opportunity to get close to her and win her favor.
After all, knowing that my last name is Xiao, how could he not know my own identity?
After entering the auction venue, the people present could not help but be attracted by Xiao Liyue's powerful aura and looked towards her one after another.
When they saw her, the people who knew her were very excited and said, "Xiao... Goddess Xiao, it turned out to be Goddess Xiao from the Empire. She is here too."
Although those who enter the international auction house are all wealthy people with assets worth hundreds of billions, the richer people are, the more they value their lives, so they basically all carry Xiao Liyue's talisman with them.
Because these amulets are indeed useful, of course, what they want most is the amulet, a life-saving amulet, which is equivalent to having a second life. Unfortunately, the amulet is only sold to the people of the empire, and there is no market for it, which is really too difficult.
Soon, wealthy people from various countries walked towards Xiao Liyue with excitement on their faces, chattering in various languages to greet her.
After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and realized that Xiao Liyue was an imperial citizen, and she probably couldn't understand what they were saying. So they were annoyed that they couldn't speak the imperial language. Now that Goddess Xiao was in front of them, they couldn't get along well with her.
There was a rich man who spoke in broken Imperial language and called out "Hello, Master Xiao".
Xiao Liyue looked at their anxious expressions, snapped her fingers lightly, and said with a smile: "Can't I cast a spell to hear what you are saying? Now you can understand what I am saying, right?"
A group of wealthy people snapped their fingers when they saw her, and those of them who could not understand the imperial language could understand what she was saying, and they looked at her with even more admiration.
A younger wealthy man said excitedly: "Imperial Immortal Art is so amazing. Master Xiao, I am your number one fan. I am from Country B."
Xiao Liyue smiled and nodded: "Hello, thank you for your likes."
When the wealthy people saw that Xiao Liyue was beautiful and polite, and did not have the airs of a master at all, they all came forward to greet her.
Seeing that they were paying attention to her, she naturally answered their questions patiently.
Suddenly, a wealthy man said cautiously, "Master Xiao, we are all your fans. I wonder if we are lucky enough to buy amulets from you? Of course we will pay you, a hundred times or a thousand times, it doesn't matter. We just ask Master Xiao to sell us some amulets."
"Yes, Master Xiao, we are all your number one fans. I will watch every live broadcast of yours." Another rich man also said anxiously.
Soon all the rich people begged her, and Xiao Liyue agreed: "I can give it to you, but it won't be cheap."
A wealthy man with great wealth smiled and said, "We are willing to pay no matter how much, so Master Xiao, just name your price! We will sell it."
"Okay! Since you are all sincere, I won't be pretentious. Besides, you are all my fans, so I won't cheat you too much. One amulet is 100,000 imperial coins." Xiao Liyue said with a smile.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
"What? One hundred thousand Imperial coins!"
"Oh my god! Just 100,000 Imperial Coins, is it that cheap? You know, the market price has been hyped up to over a million."
"Master Xiao, are you really willing to sell us one for 100,000 Imperial Coins? Then can we buy one more?"
Xiao Liyue shook her head and said, "Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant! Each person can only purchase one ticket in his lifetime, and this is already an exception."
After all, the amulet she made can save one life, which is already a change of fate, so she can only give them one chance. It depends on themselves whether they cherish the second life or not.
Of course, for those who are destined to die of natural causes such as aging, illness or old age, it is useless to use amulets. Amulets are only to protect against unexpected life-threatening dangers.
Seeing this, the rich no longer mentioned buying more tickets. They were content with just one.
Since Xiao Liyue didn't bring the amulet, she promised them that she would draw the amulet for them after the auction was over, and they could come to the international five-star hotel to pick it up after the drawing was done.
After getting her permission, they returned to their seats and waited for the auction to begin.
Professor Hou admired Xiao Liyue even more when he saw these wealthy people in the world begging for the amulet humbly.
Jiang Che looked at Xiao Liyue with even more respect. This was simply not something a mortal could do. Maybe she really was a god from heaven, otherwise how could she have such magical powers.
