C389 Chief steward (1/2)
”Stone gambling?” When Shen Longxuan heard this familiar yet foreign word, he couldn't help but laugh. He didn't know if he could return to that world.
”Alright, then let's go and gamble!”
Old Housekeeper brought Shen Longxuan to an auction house called Sheng Tian. It was a dazzling building, its size already surpassing Luoying City's.
The interior was also divided into several auctions, and according to the various types of weapons, pills, spirit rooms, and other miscellaneous items, it could satisfy anyone's taste.
He divided each item into low, medium, and high levels. As he divided the items more meticulously, he also stimulated the desire to purchase from the martial cultivator s. Every ticket here was priced at an astronomical price.
Amongst the many varieties, there was a single item for gambling stones, and Star-Moon Stone belonged to the highest level of this category, so they had to undergo strict appraisal.
By the time Shen Longxuan and Yue Shan reached the City Auction House, there were less than two hours left before the auction.
”Ticket?” Just as he reached the door, he was stopped by a ticket collector.
Shen Longxuan and Yue Yang were startled, the Old Housekeeper stepped forward, took out a purple badge and said: ”We are here to sell, we don't need a ticket, right?”
”You have to have a ticket to buy and sell, otherwise you're not allowed to enter!” The person's face was full of impatience as he said, ”Why are you swinging around with a broken sign? If you run away without a ticket, what about the people behind you? ”
Shen Longxuan and Yue Shan were immediately pushed to the side, the purple order badge in Old Housekeeper's hands was completely disregarded.
”These two people are really interesting. Wanting to enter the auction house without buying a ticket, do you think this is a market? Any kind of cat or dog can enter! ”
”That's right, I think there are two poor bastards here to try their luck. Come, take out your treasures. If they are valuable, I will directly buy them!”
”Hmph. What are you looking at? You can't even afford to buy a ticket. How could you possibly have any treasures on your hands? At most, it would only be a few rotten stones.”
The people at the back of the line mocked each other. Before Shen Longxuan could retort, Old Housekeeper said, ”Master, I know the steward here, don't worry, we will enter without a ticket!”
Shen Longxuan swallowed the words that were about to leave his mouth, only to see the old man close his eyes for a moment, and then open them. Shen Longxuan stared at Old Housekeeper in shock.
This Old Housekeeper was actually a Martial Grandmaster Stage Ranker, Shen Longxuan was both shocked and happy.
”You're just putting on an act. Let me see who you can find. Come, come, come. The two of you, stand to the side. Stop blocking our path!” The people checking the tickets shouted.
”Old Man, we were all waiting to see who you know. Why haven't you come out yet?”
”Yeah, I want to get to know him too, haha …”
”You don't even know a ticket collector, yet you claim to know the manager? What a joke!”
Shen Longxuan curled his lips and was worried for them. Offending a strong Martial Grandmaster Stage was not a good thing.
Sure enough, after a short while, an old man walked out from the auction hall with a glowing face and approached with large strides, ”Old Brother Huo, why didn't you say anything earlier so I could go and pick you up!”
Everyone looked up and gasped, ”That is Manager Qin Honghai from the Stone gambling auction!”
”Heavens, that Old Man really knows the steward here. Steward Qin doesn't care at all when he's here!”
”Someone is in trouble this time!”
At this time, the Old Housekeeper snorted coldly, threw the purple badge in his hand over to Qin Honghai, and said: ”Hmph, I'll return it to you. What purple jade token, no one recognizes it at all, and yet you take it out to be laughed at.”
At this moment, the crowd burst into an uproar.
”What?” That is a purple jade token? ”
