Chapter 214 - Auction (2/2)

Now that everything had been done, Manager Zhang did not disturb her and left quietly with the attendant. Before leaving, he had left some instructions for the people downstairs.

Manager Zhang looked at the brightly lit auction house that had been luxuriously done up. Every seat here needed to be reserved, even the ones that were right at the back cost ten thousand two hundred for a seat. There was no need to mention the ones that were right up front, what kind of positions did those people hold.

Such a business model was unprecedented and it clearly showed that their boss had created a miracle.

But who would have ever thought that this miracle was actually created by the same person whom everyone thought to be a waste all this time….

On the following day, the entire capital was abuzz. Because of the upcoming Martial Qi Compet.i.tion, the streets had already been packed with visitors from all around. Now that there is an armament auction, it had attracted an endless stream of cultivators.

There were even people saying that this auction was not inferior to the armaments created by Master Wu Shuang.

That was why in the midst of them all, there were not only dignitaries who wanted to experience it, there will also many famed Armament Masters.

Of course there will also Masters who did not hold Profound Heaven in their eyes. After all, they had been around for a long time and had gained the prestige over the years in the capital. With the sudden appearance of a compet.i.tor, wasn’t it just blatant provocation to them?

No matter from which aspect, the grand stage that Profound Heaven was about to bring was unprecedented.

In order to partic.i.p.ate in this auction, Helian Jiao Er specially wore a lavender dress with intricately embroidered patterns in a similar colour on her cuffs. The silver thread weaved out a few clouds and ta.s.sels. She also had on a pure white veil that made her look even more mysterious and beautiful, inevitably pulling gazes over.

It was a pity that beautiful people like to dress in veils, however this was a charm itself was extremely alluring.

Her hand was lightly holding on to Madam Su’s arm, while her servant Xiao Qiao walked by her side. Madam Su started to greet various distinguished n.o.bles and officials as she walked past.

Those people were fawning all over her and did not mention a single bit about the time that she had been in the temple. They were talking about everything under the sun, trying to gain a better seat by relying on her.

Therefore, there was no shortage of such people and some went even a step further and pulled her hand affectionately. “My darling sister is finally here, I’ve heard that your family and Profound Heavens relations.h.i.+p is pretty good, I will need to depend on sister to help arrange a better seat.”

“It’s only conversing through letters.” Madam Su said it modestly but her heart was full of pride. With a gentle smile, she said: “Young Sister, you also know that I have not been in the capital recently, however the matter of arranging a good seat can be left up to me.”

That person giggled and said: “What did I say? My sister has the ability.”

“All right, let’s go in early. The sun is s.h.i.+ning down so harshly, my girl has such delicate skin, it’s better to go in the shade quickly.” Madam Su shook her head as she said it with a hint of arrogance.

Hearing this, everyone looked in the direction of Helian Jiao Er.

“This must be Jiao Er, she really is capable of causing the downfall of a city, capable of captivating even the birds and the beasts.”

“She can’t even be compared to others. That daughter of mine only stays in the house all day or spends her days cultivating in the Academy. After spending so much time cultivating, there isn’t much of a difference. Look at Jiao Er, her beauty aside, she is also a genius. She is sure to bring more glory during the upcoming Martial Qi Compet.i.tion and amaze everyone here. I’ve heard that there are even cultivators that had arrived from Cloud Descent Kingdom specially for her.”

“Even the people of Cloud Descent Kingdom have heard of her name? She really is something!”

“Tell me about it, I heard that it was Master Wu Shuang who had personally invited these people. Amongst them, one is the Prince of a neighbouring kingdom, while the other is the Princess of a neighbouring kingdom. They all want to see her beautiful face.”
