Chapter 84: A Good Show! Two People Going Head-to-Head
“Shh! Keep your voice down. Aren’t you afraid that others will hear you? Look at the crowd around you. You’ll know why they’re here.”
“I passed by the Lin clan’s auction house earlier, and there were only a few people inside. This is a situation that has never happened before. No wonder they couldn’t sit still.”
“Ah, it can’t be. It’s so miserable. They won’t vent their anger on us, right?”
“The Lin clan isn’t that overbearing. At most, they’ll find trouble with the owner of this auction house. What does it have to do with us?”
The others kept their expressions calm as they passed by the second elder cautiously, afraid that they would get into trouble.
No matter how the crowd discussed, the auction started as usual.
When Lin Mo saw the arrival of the second elder and the others, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He did not know what kind of expression the second elder would have when he saw that Lin Mo was still alive and well. Lin Mo was looking forward to it.
“Welcome, everyone. The first item to be auctioned is a mid fourth-level medicinal pill, Myriad Form Pill. The starting price is 900 spirit stones.”
Miao Qing was a man of few words. He was not as eloquent as Wu Jin, so he decided to end the battle quickly.
Such a clean and straightforward attitude was rare. Everyone could tell that he was not a professional. However, compared to those tardy people who liked to keep others guessing, he had a different impression.
The second elder heaved a sigh of relief.
“I’ve never seen this person in the Miao clan. I think he shouldn’t be related to them.”
The second elder did not know that Miao Qing was being hunted by the Miao clan, so naturally, he did not know that such a person existed.
Although many people present had received the news, they still held a doubt in their hearts. After all, regardless of which auction house these fourth or fifth-level medicinal pills were placed in the city, the starting price would be several thousand spirit stones.
Seeing was believing. Now that they had seen it with their own eyes, they knew that there really was a good deal going on.
“Damn, isn’t this too cheap?”
Many people’s blood immediately boiled, and their voices rose and fell.
“One thousand spirit stones!”
“One thousand five hundred spirit stones!”
The second elder’s face was gloomy as he looked at the pill on the stage. Indeed, it was the aura of a mid fourth-level, and it was genuine. He sneered and said, “Indeed, it’s a big deal. I want to see who exactly has such great ability.”
“The second item is a mid fourth-level defensive magical treasure, the Black Turtle Spirit Armor. The starting price is 800 spirit stones!”
“The third item is a top fourth-level item…”
“The fourth item…”
…
As the auction progressed, the second elder’s face turned darker. Every item in the auction was around the fourth-level, and the starting price was unbelievably low. Even the Lin clan could not afford to be so generous.
“What a coincidence, running into the second elder here. Shouldn’t you be in the auction house? It seems like you have some free time in your hands.”
This was what Lin Yixuan saw when he rushed over. The second elder’s face was extremely dark, and the people around him were far away as well. It was as if they were avoiding a flood or a fierce beast. He felt extremely happy in his heart.
Seeing that Lin Yixuan was asking the question despite knowing the answer, it was obvious that he was here after receiving the news that the Lin clan’s auction had to be canceled. The second elder was extremely angry and could only suppress his anger.
“What’s the first elder doing here?”
Lin Yixuan smiled meaningfully. “Let’s see if we can pick up any treasures.”
“The first elder is interested in these fourth-level items? If this gets out, people will laugh their heads off.”
Lin Yixuan did not back down in the face of the second elder’s attitude. “Yeah, that’s what made the second elder cancel the auction that was supposed to be held today.”
The two of them went back and forth as the air filled with a tense atmosphere.
Seeing that he would not be able to get anything out of it, the second elder’s eyes turned and he immediately thought of something.
“First elder, you and I are originally from the same clan so why are we fighting here? The palm and the back of the hand are all flesh. If the leader knew about the auction today, he’d probably be unhappy too.”
Lin Yixuan and the second elder had been fighting for many years. He knew that the second elder was a cunning old fox, so how could he not know what he was thinking? He remained calm as he said, “Second elder, what do you mean?”
“I think first elder saw it too. The owner of this auction house must have a strong background. Maybe he’s here for our Lin clan. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that he chose to hold the auction today?”
Lin Yixuan understood the second elder’s intention and deliberately said, “Maybe it’s a coincidence.”
“There’s no such thing as a coincidence in this world.” The second elder snorted. “In my opinion, why don’t you and I work together and find out the background of the other party? Maybe we can even make a contribution in front of the leader.”
It was obvious that the second elder wanted to use him as a weapon so that he could reap the benefits. Lin Yixuan was not that stupid.
Although he did not allow outsiders to harm the Lin clan, he had not figured out the other party’s intention. Lin Yixuan did not plan to make a move for the time being.
“The leader has already said that the second elder will be in charge of the auction. If anything happens, the responsibility will naturally be borne by you. How can I overstep my authority? Otherwise, it’d be a sign of your incompetence.”
Seeing that Lin Yixuan did not fall for the trap and was secretly mocking him, the second elder put on a fake smile. “Looks like the first elder wants to sit back and do nothing.”
Lin Yixuan did not respond. “Why can’t the second elder handle it? Perhaps you want to hand the auction house over to me? If that’s the case, I can consider it.”
The second elder was speechless and could only watch Lin Yixuan leave. The people around him could not help but worry. “If the first elder is involved, I’m afraid they’ll…”
The second elder’s eyes flashed with viciousness. “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
When the auction was about to end, only Miao Qing was there. The person behind the scenes did not show up at all.
