Chapter 121 Xu Shi’s Group Arrived at Fusheng City
In the Hundred Treasures House, Fei Cai was preparing for the upcoming auction in two days.
Ever since the last time the Hundred Treasures House auctioned off a rare item like high-grade spirit stones, the Hundred Treasures House’s reputation had risen to the highest level.
Therefore, the Hundred Treasures House had also obtained many sellers. These people were all willing to hand over their goods to the Hundred Treasures House. No matter what kind of item it was, it could be auctioned off at a satisfactory price.
If Jiang Ping wasn’t included, the Hundred Treasures House could be considered the richest in Fusheng City.
Fei Cai sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, and said to the management of the Hundred Treasures House in her sexy and charming voice.
“Old Zhao, how is the matter of inviting Mr. Jiang to the auction in two days coming along?”
Because the Hundred Treasures House struck while the iron was hot, it announced to the public that a rare item would appear in the auction in two days. This made the cultivators of Fusheng City curious.
Although it was a rare item, it was only a low-grade spiritual artifact. It was far inferior to the high-grade spirit stone from before.
But for those second-rate forces in Fusheng City, a low-grade spiritual artifact was enough to make them fight over it.
Fei Cai had sent people to invite Jiang Ping because she actually hoped that he would be able to come to the auction that day. After all, many people were curious about Jiang Ping’s Room 12.
This would give their Hundred Treasures House a better promotion. Moreover, Fei Cai hadn’t given up on the idea of building a good relationship with the Jiang family.
The steward, Old Zhao, looked somewhat hesitant. He didn’t dare to look straight at Fei Cai.
“Director, I’m to blame for not doing a good job. Not to mention Mr. Jiang, as soon as I arrived at the gate of the Jiang Mansion, their butler said that their master wasn’t willing to deal with cultivators, so he told me to leave.” After saying this, Old Zhao sighed. It must be known that their Hundred Treasures House had never suffered such grievances. If it were any other forces, not to mention personally inviting them, before the letter of invitation arrived, the person would have already arrived at the Hundred Treasures House.
Although Fei Cai had already expected this, she was also a little disappointed. “It’s fine. It would be best if Mr. Jiang can come. If he doesn’t come, then let him be. You can leave first.”
After Old Zhao left, Fei Cai picked up the account book on the table and sat down on the sofa. She held the account book with both hands and flipped through it. Old Zhao had just returned to the entrance of the Hundred Treasures House when he saw three people descending from the sky. The three people were Xu Shi, Feng Qingye, and Zhou Zheng.
Xu Shi held Zhou Zheng’s armpits with both hands while Feng Qingye followed by the side and slowly descended to the entrance of the Hundred Treasures House.
Old Zhao had been a butler in the Hundred Treasures House for many years, so he had good eyesight. Those who could fly were at least at the origin core realm.
The three of them had just landed and had yet to stand properly when Old Zhao greeted them with a smile.
“Dear guests, are you here for the auction the day after tomorrow?”
Xu Shi cupped his fists and said to Old Zhao.
“We are from Tianyuan Sect. We are here to discuss something with your director. Please help us to inform.” Old Zhao felt as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard the words, Tianyuan Sect. Although he had never been to the Tianyuan Sect and did not know much about it, he had heard Fei Cai mention it before.
Tianyuan Sect was the center of Fusheng City. It was one of the top sects within a thousand miles radius. The sect master was said to be in the earth immortal realm, and there were countless origin core realm cultivators in the sect.
Just the earth immortal realm alone was enough to shock Old Zhao. He did not dare to be negligent. He quickly replied to Xu Shi, brought the few of them to the living room, and then immediately went to inform the director.
In the living room, the butler, Old Zhao, was already on his way to find Fei Cai. Only Xu Shi and the other two were left in the living room.
Feng Qingye said to Xu Shi with a look of disdain.
“Why were you so polite to the butler just now? You should have followed my method to beat them up, then force them to speak.”
Xu Shi put on an act and replied. “Don’t you know that this is called diplomacy before violence? Unlike you nascent soul experts, who often oppress people with your realm.” Feng Qingye glared at Xu Shi and didn’t say anything else. After the butler Old Zhao ran to inform Fei Cai, Fei Cai rushed to the living room. After Fei Cai arrived in the living room, she ordered the servants to make tea. After she introduced herself, she said to the three people.
“Dear distinguished guests of the Tianyuan Sect, may I know why you are here to see me?”
Xu Shi smiled and asked Fei Cai to sit down first.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you. We are here to ask Director Fei Cai if the Hundred Treasures House sold a high-grade spirit stone some time
ago.”
Fei Cai had just sat down when her heart skipped a beat when she heard Xu Shi’s words.
She answered with a guilty expression.
“There is such a thing.”
Xu Shi quickly went on with the topic
“Then, is it convenient for Director Fei Cai to tell us who the owner is and where they live?”
“If Director Fei Cai cooperates with us, then our Tianyuan Sect will be eternally grateful.”
When he mentioned Tianyuan Sect, Xu Shi deliberately emphasized the word.
Fei Cai said with a troubled look on her face.
“Of course, I want to cooperate with the three of you, but our Hundred Treasures House has a rule…”
Xu Shi shook his head.
“Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Why don’t you consider it, Director Fei Cai?”
The woman’s expression became more and more unsightly, and she was a little hesitant. That high-grade spirit stone was given to the Hundred Treasure House by Qiu Chi for auction. If Qiu Chi was still alone, she would have said it, but now that Qiu Chi was in the Jiang Mansion…
If she were to expose Qiu Chi, then it was hard to say whether Jiang Ping would come and find trouble with her in the future.
Fei Cai was very conflicted. She couldn’t afford to offend Jiang Ping, and she couldn’t afford to offend Tianyuan Sect which was behind the three people in front of her.
Seeing this, Xu Shi gave Feng Qingye a look.
Feng Qingye immediately understood. Then, he activated his spiritual energy and revealed his origin core realm cultivation.
Fei Cai, who was only in the late stage of the core building realm, was somewhat suffocated by Feng Qingye’s realm.
Fei Cai could only stretch out her hand, indicating that she could tell them.
She told them the whole story of Qiu Chi handing over the spirit stone to the Hundred Treasures House for auction.
After Xu Shi heard it, he asked with a smile.
“Then where is this Qiu Chi now?”
Fei Cai shook her head and said.
“Since that day, I haven’t seen this person again, and I don’t know where he is now.”
A woman who could become a director of the Hundred Treasures House was indeed cunning, and when she lied, there was no flaw at all. Seeing that Fei Cai didn’t seem to be lying, Xu Shi took Zhou Zheng and Feng Qingye and left.
After they had walked far away, Fei Cai covered her chest with her hand. Her heart was still beating violently. After she calmed down, she hurriedly walked out of the Hundred Treasures House and headed towards the Jiang Mansion.
Fei Cai’s palm slammed hard on the Jiang Mansion’s door.
Jiang family’s butler, Chen Zhong, opened the door.
“Director Fei Cai? Are you here for your Hundred Treasures House’s auction again?”
“If it is, please go back. Our patriarch has said that he will not come into contact with the sects and forces of Fusheng City.”
Fei Cai shook her head violently.
“It’s not about the auction. I’m here because I have something important to discuss. Old Chen, please inform your patriarch immediately!” Chen Zhong saw that Fei Cai was speaking in such a hurry. It seemed that she really had something urgent to discuss. He did not inform
Ping and directly brought Fei Cai to see Jiang Ping.
