"As for giving advice, that's not necessary. I came here just to become a disciple, so I don't dare bother my seniors."

"But since senior has helped me once, he is a friend. I wonder why senior wants to be a beggar?"

The old beggar smiled and said, "Old man just likes to be a beggar. He can eat without having to work. Do you care about that?"

"Then...then you can do whatever you want." Ling Ge was speechless.

But what he said is right, it's not against the law if others like it.

But the old beggar changed the topic and shook his head again: "Now I don't want to be a beggar anymore."

"Ah?!" Jin Ling and Xiao Lan were both stunned when they heard this, and asked in unison, "Then what do you want to do now?"

"Of course I'm going to be an uncle!" As he said, the old beggar found a place to lie down and bask in the sun. "Someone came up and asked me to come in. How could I refuse?"

Ling Ge's mouth twitched, knowing that the old beggar was not ready to leave.

It’s really easy to invite God but hard to send away!

"Hey! Girl! Go and arrange a room for me, and bring all my things in, as well as my straw mat. I'm used to sleeping in it."

"I'll bring you three delicious meals a day. I'll be polite to the old man. Maybe he can help you when he's happy. Do you hear me?"

"Hey, where are your two contracted beasts? Come and play with me if you have nothing to do..."

He was leaning against the wall and still giving orders. Ling Ge, Gong Shan and the two beasts had already walked away in tacit agreement.

The old beggar was not annoyed, looked at their backs, smiled slightly, closed his eyes and rested.

A few days later, in that unique tall building, the Gufang Pavilion auction was held as scheduled.

Dignitaries and dignitaries from all walks of life came from all directions, crowding the already small Qutong City with crowds, and even the inn and other courtyards were overcrowded.

On the night when the ceremony officially started, there were even more cars and horses at the entrance of Gufang Pavilion. Sun Hou led a group of respectable stewards to welcome the distinguished guests, and they were busy without touching the floor.

Ling Ge was dressed up today. Although he only wore the high-quality blue jade hairpin on his head, a lot of thought was put into the pretty red brocade dress, which was embroidered with various small gemstones to create deep and shallow pink peach blossoms, which was luxurious.

Exquisite, especially eye-catching under the light.

This was designed by Gong Shan himself and is said to be most suitable for occasions like auctions.

But when they got off the bus, both Ling Ge and Gong Shan put on wide and large black cloaks and masks. This is what the most distinguished people have always done when attending such occasions.

Under the guidance of Sun Huai, Ling Ge and Gong Shan climbed to the second floor of Gufang Pavilion, and then discovered that there was a special cave in this building.

On the surface, it looks like just an ordinary one-story house, but the auction site is divided into two large platforms, and there is a whole circle of private rooms at the top with excellent privacy.

It was the private room that Sun Huai took Ling Ge to. "Second uncle said, Miss Zhuo, please sit here. The view here is the best."

Ling Ge walked to the window and took a look. He had a panoramic view of the display stand below. It was indeed very clear.

"This should be a magic weapon space. Every branch of Gufang Pavilion has such treasures. It should not be underestimated."

"Yes," Sun Huai said with a smile, "There are several countries around here, and only Gufang Pavilion in Lindan Kingdom has this magic weapon and can hold an auction, so every time the auction is held, it is very lively."

"By the way, the second uncle said that he has brought some good stuff tonight. If Miss Zhuo is interested in it, please let me know in advance."

As he spoke, the guy making tea and pouring water next to him came over and lit up a spiritual mirror in front of the window, on which many treasures and rare artifacts flashed one by one.

Ling Ge glanced at it a few times and lost interest, "No, that's not the purpose of tonight. If I want something later, I'll just shoot according to the rules."

"Okay, call me if you need anything."

Sun Huai exited to help Sun Hou, and Ling Ge released the two cats in the space.

Jin Ling turned into a human for a while and ate, and then turned into a kitten and jumped up and down. Ling Ge held Da Ju and stroked it gently while looking at the guests who arrived one after another.

The first to arrive were the guests from the two large platforms below. Although they were all well-known figures from various countries, on this occasion today, they could only sit on the large platform, greeting each other, chatting, and waiting for the auction to begin.

.

The people from the private rooms had more noble status, so they naturally arrived later. There were six private rooms in this circle, and Ling Ge didn't recognize four of them, but she could spot the last one at a glance.

Lu Zhiang and Yu Hu were the last people to arrive.

As they took their seats, a group of dancers appeared on the stage below, singing and dancing, indicating that the auction had officially begun.

The auction items at the beginning were all a batch of common little magic weapons as appetizers, and the distinguished guests in the private rooms were generally not interested.

The same goes for Lu Zhiang and Yu Hu. They put all their energy on the other five private rooms. Sun Hou said that the girl they were looking for was in one of them.

However, this magic weapon naturally suppresses detective spells, and no matter what spells they use, it will not work. They wanted to ask the attendants, but found that they could not speak at all.

In the end, the two of them could only vent their anger on the cups of melons and fruits, and asked the attendants to call Sun Hou.

Their ugly appearance just happened to fall into Ling Ge's eyes and became a unique opening show.

Only then did Ling Ge realize that there must be something special about the window of the private room she was in - she could see others, but others could not see her.

"Gong Shan, do you come to auctions like this often?"

"I have been to other small auctions several times, and this is the second time for one of this scale. Last time, I could only sit on the first floor platform as a spectator, but this time I can enter the private room, all by proxy.

It’s your blessing to have Ling Ge…”

Gong Shan winked deliberately to please him, making Ling Ge burst into laughter.

She asked again: "Do you know all the other people in the private room?"

"Even if you don't know each other, you can still guess their identities. They are all aristocratic families from other nearby countries..." Gong Shan told Ling Ge all the information he knew.

While Ling Ge was chatting absentmindedly, he occasionally glanced at the auction below.

Probably because the auction has not been held for a long time, everyone's enthusiasm was extremely high this time. Almost every item was taken a fancy to, and none of them failed, and some prices were even doubled several times.

Ling Ge was feeling a little bored when he suddenly felt the big orange in his arms tremble and meow non-stop.

"Daju, what's wrong?"

Jin Ling jumped over and said, "Sister, my mother said, buy this!"

"What, which one?"

As soon as Ling Ge lowered his head, he saw that the waiter was placing a row of new lots on the stage.

Jin Ling pointed to a brocade box in the middle and said, "That's it! My mother said I must buy it! It's related to the master's grandma!"

What, has something to do with my mother?!

As soon as Ling Ge heard this, he sat up straight and carefully looked at the contents of the brocade box.

It was a white T-shaped jade plaque, carved into the shape of a leaf. It looked very special among other magic weapons, but it didn't look very precious.

"What, what is this?" Ling Ge looked at Gong Shan.

Gong Shan frowned slightly, looked at it for a long time and shook his head, "I don't understand. But the auction items presented at this time should not be very expensive."

Hearing this, Ling Ge patted Da Ju and said, "Okay, Da Ju, don't worry, I will definitely buy it later." The attendant behind him was very eye-catching and had already left to inform Sun Hou.

But Ling Ge inadvertently looked up and suddenly saw Yu Hu staring down in surprise and talking excitedly to Lu Zhiang.

Judging from the direction of his finger, it seems to be the jade branch.

No, is it such a coincidence?

Before Ling Ge could change his mind, a new round of auction began, and the first one to be put on the stand was the jade branch!

"The next exhibit is a unique blue and white jade magic weapon. This magic weapon is carved into the branches and leaves of the healing tree. It has the function of amulet..."

In the beautiful host's emotional deception story, the piece of white jade slowly rose up, and its image slowly rotated on the spiritual mirrors in the private room and the main floor at the same time, exposing all the advantages and disadvantages of the exhibit.

Ling Ge could see it more clearly this time. The quality of the jade fruit was not that good, and the unique branch was not as powerful or auspicious as the ordinary patterns. It looked nondescript, and I really didn't understand it.

But what she saw more clearly was the expression on the other side, Yu Hu, who was also staring closely at the jade branch. His eyes were filled with surprise and ecstasy, and even the Qianshan Sect disciples could no longer maintain their dignity.

"Meow!" Daju obviously realized something was wrong and became even more impatient.

Ling Ge quickly comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, I will definitely be able to buy it. Gong Shan, what do you estimate the price will be?"

Gong Shan glanced at the jade branch, and then at Yu Hu across from him, "The host talked for a long time but didn't say what it was used for. Such a gadget is worth one hundred thousand taels of silver. But..."

He pointed to the opposite side again, "If he really wants it, it would be difficult for you two to compare the prices."

Ling Ge chuckled, "So, Mr. Gong San, who is very wealthy, how much money can you support me?"

Gong Shan chuckled and glanced at her, the doting in his clean eyes overflowing.

"Whatever you ask for, I can afford it."

"Okay! Don't worry, after using your money, I will definitely ask you to earn it back!"

Ling Ge is gearing up and preparing for a big fight!

The beautiful host downstairs finally stopped chattering and said the auction's lowest price, "Fifty thousand taels!"

Gong Shan nodded, "This price is normal. Generally, more people see this kind of thing, but fewer people want it..."

"Sixty thousand taels!" the host shouted in surprise.

It turned out that Ling Ge had already placed the first bid.

At this time, most of the guests were still weighing in their minds whether to participate. Who would have thought that someone would ask for a price so soon?

The host was also secretly delighted. This kind of thing often failed in the past, but today he was really lucky. Someone even grabbed this thing?

Yu Hu on the opposite side was surprised. He knew the price of this kind of magic weapon. Just now he was ecstatic about his unexpected good luck. Now Cheng Yaojin has appeared?

"Seventy thousand taels!"

"Eighty thousand taels!"

"Ninety thousand taels!"

…

Under the competition between Ling Ge and Yu Hu, within a few rounds, the price of jade branches rose to more than one hundred thousand taels, and the momentum has not stopped yet.
Chapter completed!
