Chapter 48: The Auction (4) (Second Update)

  In the auction house for days.

  Everyone was shocked to see the two arguing above, listening to their words, it seemed that 100,000 was just a small amount of money.

  How can those who toil for a few hundred coins bear it?

  Huangzi No. 107.

  Yi Chi was thinking about the conversation between the two of them just now.

  "One had the surname Zhan, and one had the surname Hua. However, in this Floating Feather City, there were no families with these two surnames. But judging from their conversation, it seemed that they came for something extremely expensive. That means to say, they weren't people of Floating Feather City. Then, where did they come from?" Thinking silently, Yi Chi felt that this matter wouldn't be so simple.

  Young Master?

  "Really?"

  Yi Chi looked to one side and saw Qi Yu staring at him with wide eyes.

  Smiling slightly, Yi Chi temporarily stopped thinking about these things.

  "Perhaps I can ask Father when I get home." thought Yi Chi Ru.

  "What's wrong? Want to go back?" Yi Chi asked with a smile.

  "No, I was just watching Young Master staring blankly, so..." Qiu Yu said with a bit of embarrassment.

  Actually, she felt suffocated, the young master was always thinking about this and that by himself, never paying attention to her, she was almost suffocated to death.

  "Hehe, never mind, I was just thinking about something. Come on, let's continue watching." With a smile, Yi Chi didn't say anything else and continued chatting with Qiu Yu while watching the auction together.

  ......

  Next, another 7 or 8 items were auctioned off, but none of them reached the price of one million again. After all, this could only be considered a small-scale auction, and some truly influential people would not attend.

  It's not until the auction seven days later that it will be the real main event. At that time, without a few million, you won't even be able to buy good stuff. Things like seventh-grade magic cores, fourth-grade combat equipment, and fourth-grade magical instruments will all appear, and those are all expensive things.

  A fifth-level battle sword has a minimum price of several million gold coins. Even a first-level battle sword is a hot commodity that can be snatched up by the crowd. It's really not easy to forge a battle sword, and its attack bonus is also very practical. A one-star martial artist holding a first-level battle sword can even defeat a three-star or higher martial artist, which shows how powerful it is.

  The magic device can even emit magic without the need for magic power, and the manufacturing method requires cooperation with magic trials, and the price is higher than that of the war device.

  ......

  "Let's go, young master." Autumn Rain saw that the auction had also ended and stood up to call out to Yi Chi, who had been bored for half a day.

  Also, Yi Chi bought a energy-saving plate today, and nothing else caught his eye.

  " Forget it, I won't come for the next six days either. Even if I do, it's a waste of time. I'll just wait until the auction in six days." Yi Chi thought helplessly. Originally, he wanted to dig up some treasures, but who would have thought that apart from subpar goods, everything was trash, not a single good thing.

  "Wait a minute, I haven't sent that thing over yet." Yi Chi held back Autumn Rain who was about to go out.

  "Oh." Autumn rain awkwardly stuck out her tongue and then stood obediently beside Yi Chi.

  As expected——

  Not waiting for Yi Chi Duo and others, almost as soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.

  "Come in," said Yi Chi.

  A young woman came in, although she was of average height, but her appearance was very lovely.

  "This is the item you photographed, young master." The maid held a purple wooden box in her hand and flipped it open with her palm, revealing the energy disc that Yi Chi had taken a picture of.

  "Alright, here are 210 gold coins." Yi Chi nodded and took the wooden box with one hand. With a flick of his right wrist, a bag of gold coins appeared in the maid's hands.

  The maid stared at the gold coins that suddenly appeared in her hand, her eyes filled with astonishment.

  "Hehe." Xia Yu couldn't help but laugh at the maid's surprised expression.

  "Ah!! Sorry." The maid, awakened by Autumn Rain's laughter, hastily apologized to Yi Chi, then opened the bag and took a look, weighing it again.

  "Very well, young master, I have taken note of that. That servant will withdraw now." After another bow, she backed out of the room.

  "Hehe, alright, let's go too." After touching the energy disk in his hand, Yi Chi put it away and said to Qiu Yu, then walked out.

  ......

  Yi Chi accompanied her in the city for half a day as requested by Autumn Rain, and after eating something at the wine tower, he took her back to the Yi's house.

  ......

  Seiwa-in Temple.

  "Master, today is really fun." Qiu Yu smiled and pulled Yi Chi's hand.

  "Alright, you should get some rest too, it's getting late. Here, take these things back to your room." Yi Chi was also happy and patted her head before handing over the things he had bought.

  These are all things that girls use, the workmanship is quite exquisite, and the price is not expensive. Yi Chi was very generous and bought a large pile of them. As long as Qiuyu liked something, he would buy it for her.

  "Hehe, Master is so good, goodbye Master." Laughing, she took the big and small packages and happily ran back to her room.

  "Hehe."

  Yi Chi also smiled and sat down, thinking about things in the moonlight of the courtyard.

  In a certain room, there seemed to be another gaze, locked onto a pond in the courtyard.

  ......

  The next day.

  Yi Chi got up early, actually, he seemed to have never slept since he could cultivate, and had always spent his nights cultivating.

  "Ah, I'm still doing great." With a self-satisfied compliment to himself, Yi Chi, in a good mood, stepped out of the room.

  After greeting the autumn rain that was directing the servants to sweep the yard, Yi Chi walked towards his father's yard.

  ......

  Cloud Rain Temple

  Still the same, Yi Yun was practicing his fist in the courtyard, but this time, Yi Chi finally understood the meaning behind his father's fist.

  "Here we are." Yi Yun stopped shortly after arriving at the edge of the Easy Pool.

  "Yes, Father, I've come this time to ask for your advice on a few matters." Yi Chi said humbly and politely.

  He looked at Yi Chi strangely, but Yi Yun knew that his little son wasn't so polite.

  "Oh..." She glanced at Yi Chi with sudden understanding.

  "Haha, I said you little guy is so polite, it turns out that you have something to ask me for, hahaha." Yi Yun smiled complacently.

  "This dead old man." Yi Chi thought to himself, suppressing the urge to rush up and punch him a few times. He tried his best to put on an obedient little boy's expression.

  "Haha, Father is joking, how could I be like that?" Yi Chi said with a perfect smile.

  "Really?" Yi Yun looked at him with a playful smile, clearly disbelieving.

  "Damn it, old man." Yi Chi, who could no longer pretend, cursed and sat down in a spot without any courtesy.

  "Haha, this is more like you! You don't know how hilarious you looked just now." Yi Yun laughed exaggeratedly.

  "Resentment, to the point of laughing like this? Exaggerated." Yi Chi looked at his father with disdain.

  "Damn it... you little brat." Yi Yun was instantly speechless after being defeated with just one sentence.

  "Speak up, what brings you here?" Yi Yun adjusted his expression and said with a serious face.

  Unfortunately, this had no effect on Yi Chi.

  Nothing much, just wanted to ask you about two surnames. Without hesitation, he picked up a cup of tea that was placed on one side and took a sip, Yichi said calmly.

  "Damn kid, that cup of tea was brewed for me." Looking at himself being so unimposing in front of this young whippersnapper, Yi Yun couldn't help but feel depressed.

  "Cut, what's the difference between yours and mine." Ignoring his father's angry expression, Yi Chi took another sip, although he wasn't thirsty.

  "Hmph, fine, you win." Yi Yun had no choice but to compromise.

  "Hehe, kid wants to ask, which surname is that flower?" Yi Chi said with a smile.

  "What's your surname?" Yi Yun listened and also started thinking secretly.

  "This surname is not common in our Xiang Tian Empire, but it's also not particularly rare. Which family are you referring to?" Yi Yun said thoughtfully.

  "A wealthy and influential family." Yi Chi corrected his attitude and said seriously.

  "Wealth and power? Then... it can only be that family." Furrowing his brow, Yi Yun said in a low tone.

  "Which household? Which one?" Yi Chi was confused, what did that mean?

  "The Hua family, one of the top ten supreme families in the empire." Yi Yun said with a serious expression.

  "What... what is the House of Flowers doing in our Floating Feather City?" Yi Chi had thought that the House of Flowers was not ordinary, but he never could have imagined that they were actually one of the top ten most powerful families in the Empire.

  "What? You've seen someone from the Hua family?" Yi Yun also said with great tension, after all, among the top ten families of the Xiang Tian Empire, not a single one was easy to mess with, and if things went wrong, his own Yi family might be the ones to be annihilated.

  "En. Just yesterday, at the Lishi Auction House, and there was also a war family, I don't know if it's also a top-notch family?" Yi Chi nodded and said cautiously.

  "Has someone from the War Family also arrived? What... what is it about this Floating Feather City that's worth people like them coming to scheme for?" Yi Yun said with a serious expression.

  "I don't know." Yi Chi shook his head, he didn't know what their purpose was for coming to Piaoyu City.

  After thinking for a while, Yi Yun felt that this matter was not simple and told Yi Chi to go back.

  "Yi'er, don't interfere with this matter and don't think about it again, lest you bring trouble upon yourself." Yi Yun solemnly instructed Yi Chi before leaving.

  Yi Chi also knew that once this matter involved such a super big family, it would no longer be simple, and it was not something that a mere Dou Shi like him could intervene in. So he nodded his head, even if his father didn't say anything, he wouldn't go to stir up that muddy water either.
