Chapter 5175

dawn.

Xiao Chen went out, called Wang Pingbei, and went downstairs to eat.

"What's the situation? Didn't you stay up all night? So haggard?"

Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei and asked.

"I want to sleep too, but I can't."

Wang Pingbei smiled wryly, not to mention sleeping, even practicing, he couldn't calm down.

"Young man, you still need to exercise more."

Xiao Chen patted Wang Pingbei's shoulder and smiled.

"Stay by my side, after a long time, you will get used to it... You can't stay awake all the time, can you?"

"???"

Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen, what does this mean?

He won't, what else is he going to do?

"After breakfast, I'll go to the auction... I'm looking forward to this auction."

After Xiao Chen sat down, he said.

"Yeah, brother Chen, let's go to the auction in a low-key manner...don't make trouble."

Wang Pingbei lowered his voice.

"There's no telling how big the reaction will be at Shanhai Tower! You've made a fire, and there are probably too many people in Sifang City who couldn't sleep last night."

"Hehe, I didn't sleep either."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"You didn't sleep either?"

Wang Pingbei was surprised.

"Why? Is it because of fear?"

"I'm afraid of wool, I'm excited."

Xiao Chen curled his lips, there is nothing to be afraid of such a trivial matter.

"excited?"

Wang Pingbei was taken aback.

"Excited about what?"

"Hehe, it's nothing, you will know in the future."

Xiao Chen shook his head, looked around and saw no one.

"By the way, the person in charge of Shanhailou here, do you understand?"

"principal?"

Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen.

"I've heard of it, but I don't know about it... Being the person in charge of Dacheng and having a high status in Shanhailou, I don't understand it."

"It's fine if you've heard of it. Tell me everything you know."

Xiao Chen said while eating breakfast.

"The person in charge of Shanhailou here, named 'Gongsun Zhen', came to Sifang City ten years ago and took over here..."

Wang Pingbei recalled, said.

"Others, I'm not sure."

"What about strength?"

Xiao Chen asked again.

"I don't know the exact strength, but to be able to control a big city, it must be very strong...at least, stronger than Chen Haitao."

Wang Pingbei thought for a while and said.

"Elders and elders are also different. The elders who can be released are much higher than ordinary elders in terms of strength and status."

"Better than Chen Haitao..."

Xiao Chen's eyes flashed, it seems that going directly to this old guy is a bit unworkable!

If it can't be done, it will be easily exposed.

Too much risk to be worth it.

What's more, it may not be possible to know the origin of Xuanyuan Duanjian from Gongsun Zhen.

"Brother Chen, you... what are you going to do? You don't mean to kill him, do you?"

Wang Pingbei's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said.

"No, he's too strong, it's a little troublesome to kill."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"Besides Gongsun Zhen, who else is in charge here? The weaker ones."

"I... I don't know either, Brother Chen, what are you doing?"

Wang Pingbei had a bitter face.

"Tell me, otherwise I'm so confused that I won't be able to eat breakfast."

"Didn't I bring something back from Shanhai Tower last night? Something in it really interested me, so I wanted to inquire about it."

Xiao Chen thought about it, and then said simply.

However, he didn't mention 'Xuanyuan Sword'. After all, this stuff has a lot to do with it, so it's better for less people to know about it.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Wang Pingbei, but that he is afraid that something will happen to Wang Pingbei and will leak it out.

"So that's how it is... after the auction, let me inquire about it?"

Wang Pingbei was stunned.

"It's not difficult to simply understand it, but it's difficult to get more detailed... After all, something like this happened in Shanhailou, we can't go to Tianji Pavilion to buy news."

"Well, it's enough to simply understand it. Find someone with a higher status and weaker strength, and ask about it."

Xiao Chen didn't want to make too many circles, just be simple and direct.

Anyway, he is an enemy, he doesn't have any burden in his heart, let alone be soft-hearted.

"it is good."

Wang Pingbei nodded, a little curious in his heart, what could make Xiao Chen interested.

But if Xiao Chen didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask too much.

"Brother Chen, you were at Shanhai Tower last night, didn't you expose yourself?"

Wang Pingbei asked worriedly as he thought of something.

"Don't worry, I covered my face with a black scarf and left no clues."

Thinking of what he gained last night, Xiao Chen had other thoughts.

"Beizi, Qingyun Tower is on the side of Sifang City, do you have a lot of treasures?"

"Brother Chen, don't you still want to go to Qingyun Building to kill and set fire?"

Wang Pingbei was startled.

"Murder and arson are not the goal, but plunder."

Xiao Chen shook his head and said seriously.

"How can such a kind person like me like to kill and set fire?"

"..."

Wang Pingbei twitched the corners of his mouth, I believe you are a ghost.

"Also, isn't that what you said? Looting is the fastest way to obtain resources... Isn't that what you Qingyunlou do as well?"

Xiao Chen said again.

"Think about it, I came to Tianwaitian from the ancient martial arts world, alone, helpless, and in danger at every step... I can't get some resources to make myself stronger?"

"Yes, yes, but Brother Chen, Qingyun Tower doesn't have much say in Sifang City, and the collection is definitely not comparable to Shanhai Tower, and the risks and benefits are not directly proportional."

Wang Pingbei said hurriedly.

"The main reason is that you left bloody words before, saying that it was Qingyunzi Qingyunlou, and now you are going to plunder Qingyunlou, that doesn't make sense, how could Qingyunzi plunder his own things, right?"

"It makes sense, let's forget it first."

Xiao Chen thought about it and nodded.

Nothing else, the sentence 'the risk is not directly proportional to the benefit', he is not interested.

"Brother Chen, if you really want to plunder resources, the Broken Star Palace must have a lot of resources..."

Wang Pingbei is a little bit broken, let's make a fuss, escape if you don't die!

He followed Xiao Chen all the way, always in fear!

He was a little anxious that Xiao Chen couldn't stay in Sifang City, so he left quickly.

"They didn't mess with me, why should I plunder them?"

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"A gentleman loves money in a right way, and stealing has a way, understand?"

"..."

Wang Pingbei was speechless, you are quite particular.

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, he just talked, but fortunately Xiao Chen didn't agree to go.

"Let's eat, and when we're done, we'll go to the auction."

Xiao Chen didn't say any more, and went to the auction first to see if there were any good things.

As for the Xuanyuan Sword, it won't be too late to study it after the auction is over.

After eating, the two left the inn.

Not to mention Xiao Chen, even Wang Pingbei has noticed that the atmosphere in Sifang City is obviously different.

"Don't you just go to Shanhailou to kill and set fire? As for that?"

Xiao Chen looked up and saw several law enforcement officers patrolling the sky.

"Shanhai Tower is the four major forces that control Sifang City, and they have a great say here, even Zhao Cangqiong has to give face..."

Wang Pingbei said in a low voice.

"It is said that the next city lord will be from Shanhailou."

"Gongsun Zhen?"

Xiao Chen looked away.

"It doesn't have to be him, but it must be someone from Shanhailou."

Wang Pingbei shook his head.

"Brother Chen, we must keep a low profile and stop making trouble."

"Am I someone who likes to mess around?"

Xiao Chen asked back, and walked forward.

"You are obviously..."

Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen's back, muttered, and followed quickly.

At the same time, he looked around, afraid that some law enforcement officers would rush out and surround them.

Ten minutes later, the two arrived near the auction house.

"There are a lot of people."

Xiao Chen slowed down, the street in front of him, not to mention overcrowded, was about the same.

Not only practitioners, but also many ordinary people came to join in the fun.

Especially some vendors, who sell all kinds of things, obviously want to take advantage of this traffic to make some money.

"I'm sure. An auction of this scale will not only attract people from Sifang City, but also practitioners from outside."

Wang Pingbei nodded.

"I missed it, I don't know how long it will take before I can catch up again."

"Aren't auctions of this size often held?"

Xiao Chen asked casually.

"Well, there are no more than three times a year, and they are held in different big cities...Of course, this is just the Longteng Chamber of Commerce. Other auction houses will also have auctions of similar scale."

Wang Pingbei introduced.

"But even so, it's still a grand event, and everyone doesn't want to miss it..."

"On weekdays, do you trade resources through auctions and shops?"

Xiao Chen thought for a while and asked again.

"Not only these, but also chambers of commerce... In addition to these channels on the surface, there is also a black market."

When Wang Pingbei said this, he lowered his voice.

"The black market, also known as the 'ghost market', basically trades in the second half of the night... Every big city has a black market, and Sifang City also has it! However, whether you can find good things depends on luck and strength."

"Black market? Ghost market?"

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, his eyes brightened slightly.

"You're talking about looking at strength, but how do you look at strength? Are there still people who can't do it?"

"Well, it rarely happens, but it does exist."

Wang Pingbei nodded.

"The black market has rules that belong to the black market. Many things that cannot be circulated on the surface often appear in the black market..."

"When you put it that way, I find that the black market is more suitable for me."

Xiao Chen touched his chin.

"Beizi, do you know where the black market in Sifang City is? Let's go shopping tonight."

"Ah? I don't know much about the black market..."

Wang Pingbei was taken aback, regretting mentioning the 'black market' to Xiao Chen.

It's okay not to say, but with Xiao Chen's temperament, he must go.

And the black market... is often more chaotic!

Xiao Chen belongs to the kind of person who can cause chaos without being chaotic. If it is chaotic...then he can't break the sky?

"It's okay, let's inquire after the auction."

Xiao Chen said, stopped and bought two bunches of candied haws.

"What... why?"

Wang Pingbei stared at the candied haws that Xiao Chen handed over, dumbfounded.

"What are you doing? Eat."

Xiao Chen rolled a hawthorn, not to mention, it was quite delicious.

"Huh? Oh oh."

Wang Pingbei took it over with an extremely strange expression.
