Two days later, the main hall of the Painted Fox Restaurant was packed with people. The reason why the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox was being auctioned was because many famous people would come and watch the show even if they didn't buy it.
Therefore, every corner was filled with seats. There were also piles of people standing at the back, looking into the distance. Apart from people serving food and wine, everyone else was free to do whatever they wanted.
Lan Er walked out from the stage and announced the rules again. She then asked each potential customer to write out their ideal price in a piece of paper and give it to her, along with the name of the person who came.
Luo Qing wanted to see which one of these people was more attentive, which one wanted the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox more, and how many of them would be generous with their money.
"I said it's an auction for the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox. Can you bring the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox up for everyone to see? Who knows if Miss Luo Qing is playing tricks on everyone?" A man's voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Lan'er smiled gently as she quietly observed the big man. The main hall instantly became silent. How precious was the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox? How did the manager of a restaurant get his hands on it? It was without a doubt that he had asked the question that puzzled everyone.
Someone echoed, "That's right, Miss Lan. If you want us to bid, we have to take a look at the goods first, no?" We believe in Lady Luo Qing, but our curiosity tells us that we should first see the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox before bargaining, right? "
"That's right! Quickly bring the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox here for everyone to see …"
Lan'er suddenly released her fiendish gaze, pointed at the man in the crowd and said, "He entered the restaurant dressed in plain clothes, and he also reeked of alcohol. He's not here to buy a Spirit Fox, he's here to throw him out!"
Just as he finished speaking, two muscular men jumped out from the crowd, holding onto the big man's arm as they walked out.
The big man's voice came from outside the hall. After a while, he saw two strong men return with blood on their hands.
In the room on the highest floor, on the open window, the Mentor nodded in satisfaction. She had long since prepared everything, including guarding against those who might sneak in to cause trouble.
Lan'er continued, "Do you think this is a market for vegetables? If they wanted to see, they could. The Violet Electricity Spirit Fox was extremely precious. How could it be seen by those people with great abilities? There are so many heroes here today. Will my master still cause trouble for me? They were all here to have a meal and ask for money. Was there a need to make things so unhappy? If you have the money, you can buy a Violet Electricity Spirit Fox.
Everyone thought that it was true. With so many people, no matter how formidable a restaurant was, there was no need to cause so much trouble unless she was an idiot!
With order and order in place, the crowd began to write on the paper slip that they would give the ideal price to Lan'er, and would only announce the start of the auction at noon.
The paper slips were all delivered to the Mentor's hands. He opened them one by one and was attracted by a piece of paper.
There was no price or signature on the slip of paper, only the word 'priceless'. Lan'er said that the note was written by a guest in Sky No. 2 Room.
"Priceless …" He grasped the paper in his hand and slowly turned it into powder that scattered on the ground.
She stuck her head out the window and saw a man in white sitting inside Sky No. 2 room.
The teacher was stunned. The man in white again? She was always curious about the man in white.
Perhaps she longed for him too much, the man who had saved her from the brambles three years ago. He was tall and cold, with a warm chest that seemed fleeting to her blurred vision.
Lan said that in Tianyin No. 1 lived the present Prince Consort Gong Xiang and Zhu Shi Rou Xin.
Gong Xiang and Chang came to the Painted Fox Inn, and the Sky No. 1 Room seemed to have become his private room. He didn't like the princess, but he brought her along today.
The price on the slip of paper was also the most extravagant, because he was ordered by the emperor to get the Purple-Gold Spirit Fox no matter how much money he had. However, the person that the Mentor was most interested in was still Sky Two!
No matter who ended up with the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox, she would snatch it back. After bringing back the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox, the little fox was very obedient and liked to listen to her play. It was as easy as flipping his palm to recall the little fox.
Noon had arrived and the auction had begun. Everyone was waiting for the appearance of the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox.
The manager of the Fox Painting Inn, Luo Qing, had appeared on stage. Luo Qing rarely appeared in public, and today, he was an outsider.
Wearing a bright and pure thin layer of smoky gauze, her skin was as smooth and enchanting as condensed jade, and her face was covered by a gauze. She was so beautiful that she could captivate all living beings! Her appearance was not surprising. Her true appearance was confusing.
"Everyone, the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox will be auctioned at the Painted Fox Restaurant today. I believe that everyone already knows the rules of the auction, so in order to relieve everyone's worries, everyone will bring the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox up first. This Spirit Fox has intelligence and is very wild. No matter who the Spirit Fox ends up in, my Painted Fox Inn will not be responsible for its delivery. If he were to be robbed by the potential customer or escape by himself, it would have nothing to do with the Painted Fox Restaurant anymore. "In the martial arts world, rules are important. If you seek treasures, I will only ask for money. We are still friends!"
"You make it sound good. It seems like Lady Luo Qing has never considered us her friends?" These people have no place to stay in the martial arts world. Today's friends will leave tomorrow, so we might not be able to see them again for the rest of our lives. "Lady Luo Qing, why don't you take this opportunity to take off your veil and let everyone have a look?"
A man sitting in the front row voiced out the thoughts of many people. There were also some people who knew her character and were secretly watching him make a joke out of himself.
If it was that easy to remove her veil, her true face would not have become a mystery. The man had thought that with so many people at the auction and the Violet Electricity Fox, she would compromise in the face of so many pestering.
However, a strong gust of wind blew and Luo Qing's eyes became cloudy. She said with a venomous face, "Do you think that my Painted Fox Restaurant is a land of fireworks? Or … "Since you do not understand the rules of the martial arts world, then I do not need to be righteous with you."
With a 'kacha' sound, the man cried out miserably. Then, he saw that his left eye had been struck by an object, and his flesh had become blurry.
He held his left eye and struggled in pain on the ground!
She wanted to teach the man a lesson, but before she could make a move, someone else had already made a move.
The crowd instantly fell silent. The hidden weapon that hurt the man came from the restaurant. Everyone guessed that someone was secretly protecting Luo Qing. Otherwise, how could such a big restaurant be in the hands of Yan shi?
"I, Luo Qing, am engaged in an honorable business. If someone wants to cause trouble at the Painted Fox Restaurant, I am not someone that can be easily bullied!" "Carry him out of the restaurant. Don't sully the restaurant." said the Master.
After the men were carried away, the crowd gradually relaxed their breathing. After a moment of silence, Luo Qing called for the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox's cage to be carried up onto the stage.
Opening the lid, he saw a vigorous body of a fox crouching inside the cage. Its pure white fur was moving like a ball of fire, and its black eyes were agilely staring at the crowd of people.
When the crowd approached, they could even see the Spirit Fox make a face, causing them to laugh out loud.
The teacher secretly gave the little fox a thumbs-up!
After confirming that it was the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox, the auction finally started. Lan'er placed the lowest price on auction and started bidding from the very bottom. In the end, the price of the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox was pushed to twenty million.
Many people gave up because of lack of money and left the scene dejectedly.
After a long sigh, a bid of thirty million taels came from Sky No. 1 Room. To ordinary people, this was only possible if they were as wealthy as a kingdom.
A spirit fox was expensive, but it wasn't as if it would go bankrupt. Moreover, there weren't many people that could afford to spend that much silver either.
Everyone thought that the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox would be the guest of Heaven's Number One, but who would have thought that it would immediately send out a slogan of fifty million silver.
