1889 Slap on Face 4
The man in the mask gestured at him, signaling him not to dwell on the matter any longer. He didn’t want to waste any more time dealing with such a woman. Right now, his priority was to acquire some pills.
With that thought in mind, Duan Feng finally stopped pondering and entered the room to inspect the pills.
Meanwhile…
Gu Chaoyan and her companions had already begun exploring the auction house. Holding the authority token, she had unrestricted access to any area.
She strolled around casually, glancing at the middle-grade magical weapons and enchanted armaments.
Yet, there was nothing that caught her interest.
Quite boring, she thought.
Sword One grew rather excited.
Seizing the opportunity when n.o.body was nearby, she inquired, “Elder Miss, why didn’t you pay attention to the guard’s behavior?”
Gu Chaoyan responded calmly, “Of course, I noticed. However, this place is unfamiliar to us, and we lack any acquaintances here. It’s always better to be amicable rather than make enemies. Rest a.s.sured, the guard must hold a grudge against Zhao Dier for what transpired earlier. From now on, they can handle their own affairs without our interference. We need not waste any more time and energy on them.”
She had nothing to lose and had no desire to expend her energy on trivial matters.
By leaving their conflicts behind, they could let the two parties harm each other.
Sword One swiftly comprehended the situation.
She found solace in hearing this. She had always believed that Elder Miss possessed the intelligence to discern the circ.u.mstances.
Things were different now.
She possessed decent martial arts skills, but she acknowledged that she wasn’t as proficient as those highly trained individuals. Therefore, she figured it would be beneficial to learn from Elder Miss and employ her intellect in dealing with people.
Just as Sword One had reached this conclusion, something caught Gu Chaoyan’s attention.
It was a high-level enchanted armament, a valuable magical weapon being auctioned in the room. The presence of numerous attendees indicated its desirability.
Gu Chaoyan noticed it too.
It was a bowl containing a murky, iron-colored liquid.
The moment Gu Chaoyan laid eyes on it, the auctioneer transformed the bowl into a piece of black iron.
“This is a low-level, high-grade enchanted armament, a magical weapon. While it may not possess the same level of magical power manipulation as other magical weapons, it offers the advantage of being both st.u.r.dy and pliable. It can change its appearance at will, but…”
“…”
“…”
“So, before partic.i.p.ating in the auction, you must carefully consider if you have what it takes to make it recognize you as its owner,” the fair-minded auctioneer elucidated, disclosing both the positive and negative aspects.
With a hint of self-mockery, Gu Chaoyan remarked, “I won’t be able to use it skillfully. It won’t accept me, so even if I forcefully employ my magical power, it will end up like this.”
Gu Chaoyan gazed at the unsightly piece of floating iron. It was indeed unattractive.
Sword One’s accessories had been destroyed while she attempted to protect the maids back in Snow Territory.
