Ningshuai turned around and heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that it was Feng Feiyun.
"You scared me to death. Young Lord Feng, do you have money on you? Lend me 1,800 spirit stones, I need them urgently." Ningshuai enthusiastically ran over and reached out his hand without holding back.
Feng Feiyun smiled: "Didn't you just steal an authentic work from the first Jin Emperor? You should be able to sell it for a good price, why are you still asking for money?"
"Don't … talk nonsense. What do you mean I stole it? It was passed down in my clan …" Ningshuai's expression became unnatural.
The Daoist Master's copy was actually stolen by Ningshuai from the Throne Heavenly Marquis Mansion.
He was probably the only one who dared to steal from the Marquis Mansion, and he was the only one who could do it.
"Fine, fine, it's passed down from my ancestors." Feng Feiyun smiled: "Oh right, weren't you kidnapped by your fiancee?
How did you end up like this? "
Ningshuai was clearly sensitive to the word "kidnapped" from Feng Feiyun. His eyes flashed as he spoke in an imposing manner: "Heroes from all over the world are gathering at the capital for three grand events. How can I not come and join in the fun?"
He naturally wouldn't tell Feng Feiyun that this was the second time he ran away from a marriage.
"Three grand events?
Which three? "Feng Feiyun was a bit speechless.
Princess Luofu's groom selection was a grand event, so he didn't know anything else.
"I'll tell you later. Do you have money or not?" Ningshuai asked again.
"No, I don't have a single coin."
Feng Feiyun hid his spatial stones and treasures on his body. He couldn't afford to be seen by this third hand or else he wouldn't even have his underwear left.
Ningshuai said: "Impossible, you are the young lord of the Feng right now. With your clan's wealth, how can you not have a single coin?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his dirty hand and reached into Feng Feiyun's bosom.
Although Feng Feiyun was the young master of the Feng Clan, Feng Mo had Wan Xiangcen take care of his belongings.
Feng Feiyun did not want to care about such trivial matters.
Feng Feiyun had the "Three Stars" badge, so he could enter the VIP area of the Yin Gou Ward.
The Yin Gou Ward's auction house was extremely large, just like an arena. It could hold more than ten thousand people.
Today was the monthly peak auction. The entire Yin Gou Ward's auction house was packed to the brim with people. Every single one of them was someone with a net worth of billions, and naturally, there was no lack of people with extremely high statuses.
Ordinary merchants, clan elders, kings of the younger generation, giants of the older generation, sect leaders of the immortal sects, marquises and dukes, and Royal Nobles — all of these people often appeared, filling the audience with anticipation.
The auction house was divided into ordinary seats, VIP seats, and supreme boxes.
Normally, the "One Star" and "Two Star" guests would be in the ordinary seats at the back.
Only the "Three Stars" could enter the VIP seats. Normally, the VIP seats were at the front of the auction house.
As for the "Four Stars" and "Five Stars", they were characters that could shake the entire Jin Dynasty with a stomp of their feet. They all stayed in the supreme boxes in order to keep their identities a secret.
The seats and boxes in the auction house all had a number.
The higher the status, the higher the star of the badge. Naturally, the higher the rank, the higher the rank.
Even though Feng Feiyun was sitting in the VIP area, he was still "Number 323".
The Yin Gou Ward wouldn't randomly arrange the number. This meant that there were many big shots here today. There were 322 people with more spending power than Feng Feiyun, the young master of the Feng Clan.
The auction house had a circular structure. The stage was in the center, and Feng Feiyun was sitting in the first two rows.
"Ningshuai, the Yin Gou Ward's people actually let you in with your appearance?" Feng Feiyun teased.
Ningshuai replied in a serious manner: "I climbed over the wall!"
"..." Feng Feiyun was speechless.
Climbing over the wall to enter the ward?
What a genius!
Feng Feiyun's eyes slightly narrowed as he asked: "Where did you get that green gourd in your hand?"
Feng Feiyun finally noticed that there was an exquisite green gourd in Ningshuai's hand. It looked like it was carved out of jade and emitted a green light.
It wasn't there earlier, but now it was in his hand.
"Oh, this?
I … picked it up from the ground earlier. "Ningshuai said without changing his expression.
At this time, a middle-aged cultivator's miserable scream came from not far away: "Which goddamn bastard stole my gourd of second-rank spirit pills?!"
Ningshuai's face twitched after hearing this. He quickly hid the green gourd in his pants and held it down with both hands.
Feng Feiyun was sweating profusely. This guy really dared to steal from anyone.
"Ningshuai, why do you want to borrow money?" Feng Feiyun asked.
Ningshuai saw that the middle-aged cultivator wasn't paying attention to him, so he whispered: "You have to help me this time."
Feng Feiyun became serious: "If it is within my capabilities, then I can naturally help you."
"Then lend me one thousand spirit stones first." Ningshuai immediately reached out and stared at Feng Feiyun.
"Why don't you just kill me?
My two spirit treasures combined might not even be able to sell for one thousand spirit stones. "Feng Feiyun glared at him. This guy was asking for too much.
Ningshuai glared at Feng Feiyun: "Didn't you say that you hooked up a young miss from the Yin Gou Clan and you can't even take out one thousand spirit stones?
Who are you trying to fool? "
"Who did you hear that from?" Feng Feiyun really wanted to kick this guy away.
"Scholar Heaven Calculating." Ningshuai answered.
"Scholar Heaven Calculating is also here at the capital?" Feng Feiyun was slightly surprised.
Bi Ningshuai didn't say anything else. He stared at the auction stage below. The auction was about to begin. Staff members had already brought the treasures onto the stage. Each treasure was guarded by an expert with a high cultivation base.
The entire auction house became quiet.
Bi Ningshuai's eyes were glued to the center of the stage. His hands began to rub as if he was looking forward to something.
Feng Feiyun glanced at him and thought: 'Something's not right.
This guy doesn't look like he's waiting for a treasure. What is going on? Does it have something to do with him borrowing money? '
Suddenly, a blinding light shot out from the center of the stage.
"Let us welcome the host of tonight's auction, Flower Fairy of Blissful, Sima Zhaoxue!"
The air in the entire auction house became cold. Snowflakes fell from the sky, and a young girl wearing a white feather velvet dress floated down from the snowflakes. Her skin was even whiter than the snowflakes, and it had a kind of jade-like luster.
She had a head of long silver hair that hung straight from the top of her head to the bottom of her heels. It was as soft as silver silk as it streaked across her neck and flew over her plump breasts.
She looked around sixteen or seventeen, like a fairy in the snow.
"Sima Zhaoxue!"
"Flower Fairy, Sima Zhaoxue!"
…
The auction house couldn't calm down. Many of the guests who came to participate in the auction collectively stood up and shouted at the young girl in the auction house as if they had gone mad.
This was a marketing tactic of the Yin Gou Ward. They used public beauties as the host of the auction in order to stimulate the rich and powerful to spend even more extravagantly.
Sima Zhaoxue was the Flower Fairy of Blissful, one of the three great flower palaces at the capital. She was only seventeen years old and had great talents. She was the fourteenth beauty of the Jin Dynasty.
Ningshuai became even more excited as he stared at Sima Zhaoxue who was sitting on a chair made of snow vines.
"You know her?"
Feng Feiyun couldn't help but look at her. She was indeed a national beauty, especially with her long silver hair and slender figure. She looked like a beautiful snake.
Ningshuai nodded and said: "We had an unforgettable encounter before. I promised her that I would redeem her."
"Poof!"
Feng Feiyun stared at Ningshuai as if he was a monster: "Are you crazy? You only met once and you want to redeem her?
What kind of place do you think the Blissful Flower Palace is? Redeeming a woman from the Blissful Flower Palace is enough to bankrupt a small immortal sect.
Plus, she is the Flower Fairy of Blissful. Even if you sell yourself, it wouldn't be enough to buy a single strand of hair from her. "
Ningshuai stubbornly said: "What do you know?
She likes me, we fell in love at first sight. As long as I can get one thousand spirit stones, I might be able to redeem her. "
"She said that?" Feng Feiyun asked.
Ningshuai nodded and suddenly grabbed Feng Feiyun's arm: "We're friends, you have to help me?"
"Who's your friend? Don't try to get involved with me!"
Feng Feiyun quickly shook off Ningshuai's hand. He didn't dare to be called a friend since he would lose one thousand spirit stones.
One thousand spirit stones was an astronomical number even for Feng Feiyun.
Feng Feiyun's eyes coldly stared at the girl in the distance. This Sima Zhaoxue was indeed worthy of being the Flower Fairy of Blissful. She was able to confuse someone as smart as Ningshuai into an idiot. Her methods were quite impressive.
Feng Feiyun didn't believe that Sima Zhaoxue would really leave with Ningshuai just because he brought one thousand spirit stones.
Feng Feiyun saw Ningshuai's dejected expression and said: "Don't act like you're about to die, I'll help you."
"Haha!
I knew Young Lord Feng was the most loyal. As long as you can get enough spirit stones to redeem Xue 'er, you'll be my uncle. "Ningshuai looked as if he wanted to give Feng Feiyun a kiss.
Feiyun said: "Are you not afraid of that tigress of yours? You want to redeem Miss Sima Zhaoxue?"
Ningshuai's expression turned into one of infatuation: "I've already made a vow with Xue 'er. Once I redeem her, we'll travel to the ends of the earth until the seas run dry and the rocks decay."
Feng Feiyun rubbed his temples. Although he was sure that Ningshuai was tricked by this Sima Zhaoxue, there was no point in telling him now. He was head over heels in love and wouldn't listen to anyone.
