Chapter 2980 The Auction House
“Isn’t that your duty? Why do you want more wine?”
Feng Jiu looked at him with a raised eyebrow. “Don’t forget, who said that as long as lodging, food, and a catty of wine are provided, not even a fly could fly in? Even if you catch someone sneaking in, it’s now your duty to do so.”
“However, adding more than half a jin of spirit wine is not impossible.” Feng Jiu smiled.
“Come out with me today and be a coachman for the day! I’ll give you half a jin of spirit wine upon returning.”
!!
When he heard her words, the corners of Old Mei’s mouth twitched. Half a jin of spirit wine for him to be a coachman? Perhaps only she could say this, and despite his strength, he had been reduced to the role of a coachman.
He sighed as he considered this. “Alright, then! I’ll be your coachman. When are you leaving?”
“I’m leaving soon.” Feng Jiu replied.
“Fine, I will deal with these two thieves first.” Elder Mei said as he dragged the two unconscious men.
They departed very early in the morning. Feng Jiu brought only Elder Mei as the coachman, while Leng Hua stayed in the manor to care for the inside and outside matters.
The two dazzling Violet Gold Spirit Deer had nearly become the symbol of Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze in Cardinal Point City. Even the city’s youngest residents were aware that when the carriage arrived, either Xuanyuan Mo Ze or Feng Jiu would be sitting in it.
After pa.s.sing through the city and reaching the Heavenly Treasure Building, Feng Jiu got off the spirit beast carriage and told Elder Mei, “Wait for me in the carriage!”
“Don’t you want me to follow?” Elder Mei asked, surprised. “It’s not good for you to go alone, is it?”
Feng Jiu smiled as she pursed his lips. “It’s just inside this building. What might happen? Wait for me in the spirit beast carriage!” While talking, Feng Jiu turned around and headed inside. A servant girl greeted her and seated her in the first row.
Spirit tea, fruits, and pastries were all sent. Feng Jiu sat in the first row, with the seats to her left and right still empty. Because the light inside was dim, she had a hunch that the people in the first row had not yet arrived.
She sat sideways on her chair, drinking spirit tea and eating while watching people come in. The first row began to gradually fill up with people.
Most people who attended the event today didn’t know Feng Jiu because they came from other places. All they knew in the dim light was that the woman in red was beautiful.
Feng Jiu paid no attention to the probing gazes directed at her from all sides. After all, it had happened so frequently that it had become natural. She thought several items in the auction house were quite good. If it could be purchased, she would do so; if not, she would think up another method.
In contrast to the bustling auction house, Luo Yu, who was resting on the road, was inspecting his face with a mirror. When he saw that the swelling had gone but that there was still some bruise on his eyes, he couldn’t help but sigh. “Throughout the journey, I’ve been flaunting this face while walking through the city.”
Fan Lin said with a smile, “It’s a lot better now. It’s just a few bruises. At the very least, it is not swollen.”
“Tell me about it! You’re not loyal enough. We’ve all got on board, but you pulled out.” Luo Yu snorted his displeasure as he looked at Fan Lin’s uninjured face.
Fan Lin chuckled and cast a glance over several of them, “Who told you not to believe Leng Hua’s words? I trust Leng Hua very much. Since that’s what he said, I won’t ask for trouble.”
