Fang Ming really wanted to admire the rare paintings of this world. His heart was moved, but he did not take action, hence he turned to Qin Shou and said: "Uncle Qin, let's go in and take a look too."
Qin Xiu's face twitched when he heard this. The city guards who were trying to capture them were actually in the mood to participate in the auction?
"Hey, hey, idiot. Are you trying to die by going in like this?"
Just as Fang Ming was about to squeeze into the crowd, he was stopped by a hand. The voice sounded by his ears, and when he looked back, the one who spoke was Fang Wen Hua.
"Uh, can't I just go in?" Fang Ming asked.
Before Fang Wen Hua could reply, he heard another young man beside him sneer, "Hey, where did this idiot come from? If anyone can enter, then there's no need for us to stand around and watch! "
A pair of triangular eyes glanced at Fang Ming, and his face was filled with contempt!
"Yes, no one is allowed to enter the Hundred Treasure Pavilion's auction that is being held without an invitation!" Fang Wen Hua said with a nod.
"Uh, participating in the auction and you still need to invite invitations? So how do you get an invitation? " Fang Ming was dumbfounded again. He had never heard of an invitation being posted before to participate in an auction!
"…" Fang Wenhua.
"" Another young man beside him.
A few people were eating melons nearby.
"Is this person a fool?"
"That's right, who does he think he is? "You even want to get an invitation?"
"Hehe, you truly do not know your limits. Every time you receive an invitation, it will always be the great powers of the Green Thunder City!"
The people around him started to discuss immediately, all of them looked at Fang Ming like he was a retard, causing Fang Ming to feel awkward, he could not help but silently curse, why was there an invitation for an auction?
"Hey!" Little friend Fang, you're also here to participate in the Hundred Treasures Hall's auction? "
Just as Fang Ming was feeling awkward, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"Eh? President Ji!" "I just happened to pass by. I wanted to go in and take a look, but an invitation was needed before I could enter."
Turning around, he realized that it was Ji Tiangong. Fang Ming's eyes lit up!
"Brother Fang, we meet again." Ye Jianmu also followed behind.
"Hehe, that is easy. I can bring you in. Who is this?" Ji Tiangong laughed.
Fang Ming was ecstatic, he cupped his fists at Ji Tiangong and said: "That's great! Then I will thank President Ji first. This is my butler, Qin Feng. "
If you did not come to Green Thunder City for too little time, you would not need me to bring you in. You are definitely qualified to receive an invitation. Ji Tiangong said.
"Damn!" The Blacksmith's Association President was actually so courteous to him! "Who the hell is this guy?"
All of the people around them who were mocking Fang Ming just now, were all dumbstruck.
"It seems like Green Thunder City has never seen such a person before! Could it be that the person in question is someone who had come from the capital in the past few days? "
"Yes, I've heard that too. It's very likely that it's him!"
Everyone began to discuss as they tried to guess the identity of the youth!
Just then, Ji Tiangong had already verified the invitation card and was about to enter the Hundred Treasures Hall. Fang Ming quickly followed, and towards everyone's surprise, he said that it had nothing to do with him!
In contrast, what he was thinking more in his heart was that rare and precious painting. That kind of special feeling towards the painting was something that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.
When the earthquake that had taken away his family and friends' lives in his previous life, he had skipped school to draw his life and thus escaped death.
Entering Hundred Treasures Pavilion, walking through the corridor to the trading hall on the first floor, he immediately saw a seductive woman. She welcomed him with a smile, saying, "President Ji, good evening! Our Tower Lord has already instructed us in advance to prepare room number three! "
"Un, then lead us there!" Ji Tiangong slightly nodded and said.
"Alright, this way please!" The alluring woman said.
After saying that, he turned around and led the four to a door at the back of the trading hall. The auction was not here.
As he passed by the trading hall, Fang Ming didn't forget to size up the items sold by the Hundred Treasures Store.
All kinds of weapons, all kinds of medicinal herbs, finished products of medicine, sculptures, paintings, etc. There were even some oddly-shaped stones!
When his eyes swept across the paintings, he couldn't help but take a few more glances. He realized that there was a huge difference between the paintings and his previous life. There seemed to be a special power attached to them!
After that door, another corridor appeared.
He quickly followed the corridor and arrived at another hall. Before he even entered the hall, he saw a semicircle stage that was similar to the ones in his previous life. The only difference was that the seats in front of the stage were not rows upon rows of seats.
Yes, completely different from the novels he had read in his previous life, there was no such thing as a second floor. This so-called private room was only on both sides of the hall, and it was slanted towards the relatively independent area of the stage.
There was no room for concealment at all. From any seat in the hall, one could see the people in the box. Furthermore, this box was not big. Other than the first box on the left and right sides, the other rooms only had two seats.
There were actually only four rooms on each side, a total of eight of them, with one on the left and two on the right, with room one and two at the front. Their seats were clearly better than Ji Tiangong's room number three, and each of them had four seats.
"There are actually four seats in room one and two. Who exactly are they for?" Fang Ming could not help but guess.
While he was lost in his thoughts, Ji Tiangong suddenly said, "Jianmu, sit outside later. Leave the seat in the private box to little friend Fang!"
"Ah?" I … I'll sit outside? "
Ye Jianmu was stupefied. The other seat in the box was originally left for me, but are there any of my favorite Fire Jade Spirit Fruits on the table?
It had to be said that the Hundred Treasures Pavilion was extremely thoughtful. The food in each box was different, and it was obvious that they had already understood the taste habits of the guests that were arranged in the box beforehand.
"There's no need for that. Junior will just sit outside!" Fang Ming said.
"How can I do that!?" Let this lowly disciple of mine leave! " Ji Tiangong immediately said.
"There's no need for it. Actually, it's only because I like painting a lot and heard that there's a rare treasure map being auctioned off that I wanted to come in and take a look. The front row of the hall is closer to the front and it would allow me to enjoy it more."
Fang Ming said as he shook his head, still insisting on sitting at the table outside.
"Oh? Fine! If you need anything, you can just tell me! "
Hearing that, Ji Tiangong nodded and said.
Just a moment ago, when she saw the young man following behind Ji Tiangong, she thought that he was just a small fry. She did not expect the dignified president of the Blacksmith's Association to view him with such respect, and think so highly of him, even more than her direct disciple!
While they were talking, a few of them had already entered the auction hall, and immediately drew the attention of the people inside. There were already about thirty people in the hall, but they did not see anyone in the box.
"Hehe, so it's President Ji!"
"Greetings, President Ji!"
When everyone saw who it was, they all stood up to greet, and some even greeted Ye Jianmu, but they basically ignored the two people at the back.
Of course, Fang Ming was also happy, he thought that he was not a person who liked to show off, after all, he just came here to enjoy the rare treasure painting.
Ji Tiangong did not exchange many pleasantries. With a cold and aloof expression, he nodded slightly in response and then entered the private box.
After entering the private room, his gaze was extremely obscure. He turned to Ye Jianmu and said: "Go and understand that set of map of the sun and moon. If possible, buy it before the auction begins!"
"Master, you mean …" Ye Jianmu was a little doubtful.
"Hmm? When did you learn to be so curious? " Ji Tiangong's tone changed, carrying a hint of reprimand.
Seeing his Master like that, Ye Jianmu could only bitterly walk out of the box and towards the other door at the side of the auction hall.
Outside, Fang Ming was surprised, because he saw the two of them conversing, yet he could not hear their voices, which surprised him a little, although he could clearly see inside and outside, he could not hear their voices.
"It seems like there's a soundproofing array!" Fang Ming thought.
He had read about formations in some books and knew that there was a type of formation that could isolate sound. However, this was the first time he had seen it, so he was quite surprised.
"The seats in the hall are not fixed. Young master can choose any one of them!"
While he was surprised, the enchanting voice of the woman echoed again. He recovered from the shock and nodded: "Alright, thanks!"
After he finished speaking, he walked to the table closest to the auction table and sat down. He thought that this was the most suitable place to enjoy the glorious scene of the sun and moon, and he even impolitely picked up the fruit on the table to eat.
"Hmm? Who is this guy? You actually dare to sit in the front row! "
The people in the hall were immediately shocked, what Ji Tiangong said to Fang Ming just now was outside the auction house, so they did not hear it!
At the moment, there were only a few rows of tables, and only Fang Ming sat down. The people who arrived first, were all sitting in the middle of the tables, and no one sat in the front row!
"I don't think the Green Thunder City has ever seen someone like this. She looks very young, could she be one of the big shots that came over from the capital a few days ago?" One of them said.
"No, I've met all of the powerful figures from the capital, there's definitely no one here!" Another person said with certainty.
"Mm, even if those important figures were to come, they would definitely be arranged to sit in room number 1. How could they possibly sit in the hall?" Another person said.
"That's true! This young man sure is bold! "
"Hehe, you are quite bold. I wonder if you have the ability to firmly sit on that seat!"
