”It sure is lively See Yi exclaiinally very excited for this auction However, after Ling Xian told her they o separate ways, she was low in spirits as all she could feel was sadness fro her sadness, Ling Xian sighed to himself but quickly pretended that he didn’t notice her bad , he said, ”It really is not an ordinary auction Even Water of the Resting Soul is one of the iterabs I am very enthusiastic towards today’s auction”
He then iant steps As the two of the servant blocked their way He smiled respectfully and asked, ”Can I see your invitation cards?”
”Invitation cards?” Ling Xian was a little startled Zhao Zong Hua never said anything about needing an invitation
”Neither of you were invited?” The young servant withdrew his smile and his face darkened i been scheduled as the greeter, upon seeing Ling Xian’s hesitation, his frustration channeled up ”Why are you here if you have no invitation? Our convention is not an event that anyone can just show up to Only the powerful with invitations can participate in the auction”
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned, too lazy to want to deal with this person He suolden card into the air and asked, ”I have no invitation, but will this work?”
”A Card of Spiritual Stones, who doesn’t have one of those?” The young man smiled with disdain and impatiently flapped his hand around, ”Let me tell you, I’ve seen a lot of people like you who try to come in just for the hell of it Leave now, don’t waste my time”
”Why don’t you look at it carefully and see why this particular Card of Spiritual Stones is special,” Ling Xian’s stare was cold as he unleashed a little of his foundational energy, instantly causing this young servant to shudder
”Foundational level?” The youth gasped He was afraid, but he continued to pretend he was cal you This is the Artifact Trade Convention Even if you are a foundational level cultivator, you are not allowed to do just anything you want You will die a very painful death if you behave unreasonably”
”Stop giving me bullsht Just look at this quickly If this card cannot be regarded as an invitation then I will turn around and leave,” Ling Xian frowned He believed that this rare distributed VIP card was enough to act as an invitation
”Hmmph, then I will look and see what kind of special card this is But you are the one who said you would leave if this card isn’t enough to be an invitation Don’t back out on your words” The servant’s fear was growing as Ling Xian’s stance has gotten old card for a second and shooing Ling Xian away
Just as he was about to take the card however, a gentle voice appeared
”What card is it? Let rey-haired and red-faced elder He wore a very expensive gown and the grin on his face was very loving He bowed to Ling Xian and introduced hie of this entire place”
”Ah, Manager wang” Ling Xian grinned faintly and handed over the gold card ”I have no invitation card I wonder if this card will grant us entrance instead?”
”Let old card with purple carving on it with a grin, his face then instantly changed and his grin deepened into a more respectable one ”It is the VIP card distributed by the Artifact Trade Convention’s headquarter We have offended you, please never mind us”
”No worries Just tellXian waved his hand
”Most certainly!
