Chapter 152 Brother Xiao, you've arrived.
Seeing Ning Rongrong's attitude after the negotiations, everyone understood the situation. After all, it was just a thought for Ning Rongrong to try, not a hope that she would succeed. The fact that the other party was willing to spend one million gold soul coins to bid for this seemingly useless item at least showed that the other party was really not short of money.
However, Ning Rongrong suddenly looked up, a smile and a hint of smugness on her face. The little witch revealed a feigned triumph and stuck out her tongue.
"It's done."
She was clearly pleased with herself for having fooled everyone with her feigned profundity.
"Great!" Xiao Yan sighed inwardly. He never expected that a small auction would make him so anxious. The Tyrannosaurus Rex at his waist seemed to be responding to him, vibrating slightly.
This is the first time that the Digivice has revealed its own consciousness, just as it is now in Xiao Yan's hands not as a key to evolution, but as a partner who advances and retreats with him.
"Then, one million for the third time, sold! Congratulations to the VIP in Box 9 for winning this last treasured item. I will personally deliver it to your box!" Seeing the last item sold for one million, Vice President Su was also very excited.
The bright lights in the auction hall dimmed after the last item was sold, leaving only a few dim yellow lights to guide the guests away.
"It's finally over, Rongrong. Did they say what conditions they wanted?" Although Ning Rongrong went to negotiate in the name of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Xiao Yan still wanted to clarify things with her, since she had bought something for him.
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's question, Ning Rongrong's expression became somewhat strange again. After stammering for a while, she finally spoke, "Xiao Yan, I don't want any price. I just want you to go to Room Nine to meet and catch up."
"This—" Tang San became alert upon hearing this, sensing that the other party was not as kind-hearted as they had thought.
Dugu Bo, standing to the side, suddenly asked, "Catching up? Could it be that the people in VIP room number nine are from the Spirit Hall? Is Salas in there? Then the price is for my elder brother to become his disciple."
Xiao Yan was speechless. It seemed that the reason why the No. 9 VIP room had bid for the snow wolf beast embryo was because of him. Everyone present had seen him bid 650,000. If he didn't owe the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a favor, the other party would have wanted to see him.
Could it be that they've got their eye on the Heavenly Fire Refined Iron or the Netherworld Armor that I just bought? The starting bid for the Heavenly Fire Refined Iron wasn't expensive; I practically snagged it at a bargain price. Clearly, the other party isn't after that.
Xiao Yan had hoped to use this armor to his advantage on his trip to the Star Luo Empire, but he wasn't unwilling to give it up if the other side wanted it. After all, given the current situation, the Snow Wolf Beast embryo was the most important thing.
But if they don't want either of these two items, then it's obvious they're targeting me.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's expression turned somewhat ugly. The mask he was wearing seemed to be just for decoration at the moment. Wasn't it obvious that his information had been leaked by the Tian Dou Auction House?
The VIPs in each private room avoided contact with each other, tacitly pretending not to know each other, yet the other person seemed to know that he was Xiao Yan.
Thinking about it too much is pointless. Anyway, in Tiandou City, I can't be killed and robbed before I even leave the auction house.
Just then, the hostess in charge of the transaction knocked on the door of their VIP box number three.
"Hello, esteemed guest, these are the two items you have selected in this auction."
The other party waited patiently at the door, clearly waiting for a response from the person inside.
Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then took out a large bag of gold soul coins and a privilege black card inlaid with gilded gold from the "Twenty-Four Grotto-Heavens". That card was given to Xiao Yan by Xue Qinghe himself, and the privilege black card was also stamped with the lion pattern of the Heaven Dou royal family.
"Xiao San, you make the deal with that waiter for me. Use 300,000 to pay for the Heavenly Fire Refined Iron, and the Heavenly Dou Royal Family will pay for the rest of the armor."
Upon hearing this, Tang San naturally reached out and took the thing Xiao Yan handed him, but his eyes, while looking at Xiao Yan, seemed unwilling for him to leave.
"Brother, I'll go with you. The other party doesn't seem to have good intentions."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong, realizing the misunderstanding among those present, quickly waved her hand: "No, no, the other party—oh, Xiao Yan, just listen to me, go, there won't be any problem."
Seeing Ning Rongrong's expression, Xiao Yan was even more puzzled. Clearly, Ning Rongrong knew the other party's identity but was unwilling to reveal it to him.
"Alright, old monster, come with me."
Dugu Bo nodded, and before Ning Rongrong could react, he followed Xiao Yan out of the private room. The two, one old and one young, deliberately slowed down when pushing open the door so that the person outside would notice that someone was coming out of the room, in order to avoid bumping into them.
The door to the private room slowly opened, and the waiter outside was already standing behind the side door, helping to lift the doorknob with one hand.
There was no cart behind her, so it seems that the items for today's auction were placed in a soul tool by the other party.
"You can discuss the relevant agreements and procedures with the people inside." Xiao Yan said, pointing to Tang San inside the room. He nodded to Dugu Bo, and the two walked towards Room Number Nine. Behind them was Ning Rongrong, who wanted to speak but didn't know how.
As if anticipating Xiao Yan's arrival, the door to VIP room number nine opened at that moment. Inside, Vice President Su, who had changed his clothes, sat at the coffee table, chatting with the person in front of him. The snow wolf beast embryo, worth one million gold soul coins, was casually placed on the table. Clearly, Vice President Su had not expected that after spending such a large sum of money to bid for this item, the other party seemed indifferent to it, simply taking it from him with a nonchalant air and placing it on the table.
At this moment, the two of them started chatting casually with each other.
The person talking to Vice President Su had a calm and composed demeanor, which was different from the imperial aura of emperors or the glittering wealth of wealthy merchants. It was a calm and noble demeanor that came from within.
Sensing Xiao Yan's arrival, the other party raised his head and looked at him with a smile: "Brother Xiao Yan, you've come."
This person was none other than Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
As he spoke, he waved to Xiao Yan. Although Xiao Yan was wearing a mask, those who knew him well could still recognize his identity.
Xiao Yan was somewhat puzzled. He wasn't old enough to be on friendly terms with Ning Fengzhi, and the two weren't even that close.
Could it be that Ning Fengzhi, judging from his physique and appearance, thought he was about the same age as Yu Tianheng? Even so, Ning Fengzhi's generation was still a full cycle behind his.
"Dad, Xiao Yan is the same age as me. Why are you calling him brother?" Ning Rongrong, standing behind Xiao Yan, reminded her father with her hands on her hips. After all, her father had mentioned that although Xiao Yan was only in his twenties, his talent and knowledge far surpassed those of his peers.
Seeing the strange expression on Xiao Yan's face, Ning Rongrong, being as perceptive as she was, naturally noticed something amiss.
