Chapter 1290: Chapter 574: The Town’s Auction (Part 2)

"Hmm, let’s go in and see what good stuff is being auctioned today."

Xu Qingqiu nodded and said, pulling Ning Qi inside.

Ning Qi was tugged, feeling like his whole body was electrified.

This scene happened to be seen by Gao Yunze behind them.

His eyes were almost shooting fire.

"Ning Qi, good job, daring to steal my woman."

He gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"Senior, don’t give him any face, go teach that kid a lesson."

One of his fellow disciples next to him quickly said.

The few people behind were all eager to try as well.

Clearly, they were also very angry about Ning Qi snatching away their senior’s fiancée.

"There’s no need to, let’s go."

"I think they are going to attend the auction, let’s have some fun with him later."

Gao Yunze looked forward and couldn’t help but smile sinisterly.

"Right!"

"Then let’s go!"

"..."

The group agreed in unison and followed him, moving forward together.

Meanwhile, Ning Qi and Xu Qingqiu had already walked inside from out front.

"Are you here to attend our auction?"

A clerk spotted the two and greeted them warmly.

"That’s right, what interesting things do you have here?"

Xu Qingqiu nodded and asked with a smile.

"That is a secret, once you’re seated, perhaps you’ll encounter something you like."

The clerk gave a mysterious smile and said, "Several people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are here today, you might want to take a look."

"No need, we want a private room."

Ning Qi had no intention of squeezing in with the people downstairs, pointing to the upstairs section.

"Alright, please follow me."

The clerk knew he was dealing with esteemed guests.

He promptly invited them to follow him upstairs, leading them to a private room.

"How about here?"

Xu Qingqiu looked inside and found it empty, so she suggested.

"Sure, let’s go with here."

Ning Qi agreed, then asked the clerk, "Is this room occupied?"

"Master, it’s empty for now."

The clerk responded to his inquiry.

"Alright, let’s go in."

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi walked in directly.

Xu Qingqiu followed him in, and the clerk joined them.

"We have tea and snacks, all top-grade."

The clerk said respectfully.

Ning Qi understood what he meant.

So, he took out a storage bag and asked, "How many spirit stones are needed here?"

"Master, we have array restrictions here for protection; those outside can’t see who’s inside."

"Naturally, these spirit stones are a bit more expensive."

The clerk responded, "This room costs five hundred top-grade spirit stones."

"Oh? Five hundred stones?"

Xu Qingqiu paused before saying, "We may as well squeeze with others."

"No need, since we’re here, let’s sit and enjoy."

Ning Qi shook his head, then took out the spirit stones directly, handing them to the clerk, "Bring us some snacks and spirit tea too."

"Alright, please wait a moment."

The clerk took the spirit stones and went out excitedly.

"We didn’t have to come here."

Xu Qingqiu said to Ning Qi.

"Since we’re here, why not enjoy ourselves without squeezing with others?"

Ning Qi smiled, "In case we find a treasure, we wouldn’t want others to see it."

"You’re right."

Xu Qingqiu didn’t argue further but curiously asked, "Are these things from the Immortal Trace?"

She clearly remembered when Ning Qi gained quite a few treasures.

"Yes, they’re countless."

Ning Qi nodded, smiling.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the snacks are here."

At this moment, the clerk returned.

He brought two assistants, who placed the snacks and tea on the table.

"Thank you very much."

Ning Qi nodded, picking up a piece of snack to taste, "Not bad."

"Let me try."

Xu Qingqiu also curiously picked up a snack and tasted it.

"Master, if you need anything else, we’re just outside the door."

The clerk pointed to the door, speaking to Ning Qi.

"Alright, you can go. If needed, we’ll call you."

Ning Qi nodded and waved his hand.

"Yes, Master."

The clerk agreed and then left with his assistants.

"I think I spotted your senior brother."

Ning Qi’s eyes lit up when he looked down, spotting a familiar face.

It was Gao Yunze, who was busy leading people in the crowd below, looking for something.

"Humph, he must have followed us here."

Xu Qingqiu snorted, showing a disdainful expression, "Such shamelessness."

"It means he’s completely devoted to you."

Ning Qi joked with her.

"I don’t care one bit."

Xu Qingqiu shook her head, showing a helpless expression.

The two were sitting above, commenting while Gao Yunze below was searching with his people.

"Strange, we clearly saw them come in, but now we can’t find them?"

Gao Yunze looked at the crowd with confusion.

"Yes, I saw them come in too."

Another person followed.

"Could they have gone to a private room? If that’s the case, we won’t find them."

The previous person glanced around, looking toward the private rooms.

"It doesn’t matter, as long as they’re here."

"I can recognize their voices."

Gao Yunze smiled, finding a seat nearby, "Have someone at the entrance keep an eye out; if they leave, inform us."

"The rest of us will wait here; I want to see if they plan to auction anything tonight."

"Alright, senior brother, I’ll go watch."

One of them agreed and went out first.

The remaining individuals sat with Gao Yunze, waiting for the auction to begin.

Upstairs, Ning Qi glanced down and said to Xu Qingqiu, "Look, they’ve sat down."

"Ning Qi, we need to be careful later on; they seem to be targeting us."

Xu Qingqiu cautiously observed the people below and said, "If we start bidding, they’ll surely cause trouble."

"Oh? No worries, I have my ways."

Ning Qi smiled upon her reminder, "I guarantee they won’t know who we are."

"That’s good."

Xu Qingqiu then felt relieved.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our auction tonight is about to begin."

The auctioneer came onto the stage, smiling as he spoke, "The next item for auction is a piece of armor, a treasure from outside."

"It can defend against soul attacks; those interested can give it a try." ℴℴ𝘮

"The starting price is 500,000."

After his words, many people looked over.

"That’s nice, but it’s clearly for women."

"Even if used, it’s of no real use, apart from defending against soul attacks."

"..."

Many people were clearly uninterested in the armor.

"Do you like it?"

Ning Qi glanced and then turned to ask.

"Not really."

Xu Qingqiu shook her head, "I already have armor; this one only protects the upper body, not too useful."

"Alright, then we pass."

Ning Qi nodded, looking toward the floor.

Below, people had already started bidding.

"The quality of the auction items here isn’t very high."

After a while, Ning Qi commented as the items were gradually sold off.

"Perhaps just tonight’s selection is poor."

Xu Qingqiu glanced downward, "I remember plenty of good things being sold some time ago."

"People even fought over them."

"Master, look, something good just arrived downstairs."

The Medicine Spirit suddenly jumped up, reminding them both.
