Chapter 61 Pretending
Walking out of the auction gate at the same time as the two families on the side, the three clan heads looked at each other, all letting out ugly laughter. When they looked away, sneers and hostility appeared on their faces.
Three groups of people walked struttingly in the hall. Wherever they passed, the rest of the people quickly gave way. In this Wutan City, basically no other forces would provoke the three major families.
After exchanging a few perfunctory words with Opapa next to him again, Xiao Zhan's moving eyes suddenly froze and his steps stopped.
Seeing Xiao Zhan's actions, everyone followed his gaze and moved away. Their bodies were slightly shaken, and the faces of Gallebi and Obapa also changed slightly.
In another door of the hall, three figures walked out slowly. The person leading the way turned out to be Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of the Miter Auction House. As regular visitors to the auction house, Xiao Zhan and others knew very well that despite looking at this The woman always smiles on weekdays, but everyone knows that this woman is very proud. Once Opapa wanted to invite someone to a meal, but was rejected very "politely". This shows that this Women are not as accessible as they appear.
However, this arrogant woman was unusually leading the way in such a respectful manner today, which really surprised Xiao Zhan and others.
Blinking their eyes slightly, Xiao Zhan and others moved their gazes back again, and their expressions continued to change.
At the end of the trio, Master Gu Ni from the auction house was smiling and talking into the ear of the mysterious man in black cloak. There was even a hint of flattery on his smiling face.
If Ya Fei's respect surprised Xiao Zhan and others, then Master Gu Ni behind them shocked them.
As the highest-ranking alchemist in Wutan City, even if the three patriarchs Xiao Zhan met him, they would have to be respectful and not dare to show any slights.
As a second-grade alchemist, Gu Ni always maintains the unique arrogance of an alchemist, and his calm tone when talking to others makes everyone more awe-inspiring towards him.
But such a person could be so respectful and unhesitatingly smiling when he was around others. Then... who was the person who made him want to please?
With shock in his eyes, he finally slowly moved to the figure in the middle who was wrapped in a big black cloak.
Glancing at the bloated figure of the shadow man, Xiao Zhan's thoughts raced in his mind: "Who is this? How could he be given a courtesy by the two managers of Miter Auction House? What are people like this doing in Wutan City? ?”
Licking his dry lips, Xiao Zhan looked around, but saw that Gallebi and Opapa also looked curious and shocked.
Looking up at the three people getting closer and closer, Xiao Zhan squeezed out a smile on his face, took two steps forward quickly, and said with a smile: "Miss Yafei, Master Gu Ni, haha, it's really rare to see you two at the same time. Show up."
Ya Fei and Gu Ni had already seen them when they came out. When they saw Xiao Zhan coming out to speak, their steps were slightly slow, but they turned their eyes to the man in black robe in the middle. When they saw the man in black robe, they also After stopping, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haha, I'm just sending off the distinguished guests." Yafei said with a smile.
"Oh, hehe..." Galebbi on the side also came up with a smile, cast his eyes on the man in black robe behind Yafei, and asked casually and politely: "Hehe, I didn't know that this gentleman... is also from Wutan City. Human? Haha, a little unfamiliar."
"Ahem... Chief Jialie, the old gentleman is a distinguished guest at the Miter Auction House..." Master Guni frowned slightly and coughed dryly, reminding Jialiebi not to ask too many questions.
Listening to Master Gu Ni's warning tone, Jia Lebi's expression changed slightly, and he murmured in his heart: "Even this old guy Gu Ni is so taboo? What is this person's identity?"
Seeing that Gallebi had hit a soft nail, Xiao Zhan on the side also swallowed his words. Looking at Gu Ni's taboo posture, it was obvious that this man in black robe was not on the same level as them, so he could only smile in agreement. He smiled and prepared to lead people away in a wise manner.
"Are you... Xiao Zhan from the Xiao family?" Just when Xiao Zhan was about to retreat, the man in black robe who had remained silent suddenly asked quietly.
Listening to this old voice, General Xiao was startled for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.
"I heard that Mr. Gui relied on the foundation-building spirit liquid to jump to several levels of fighting spirit in a year? Haha, this is really surprising." The man in black robe said with a faint smile.
Xiao Zhan felt a little happy to be treated so politely and said with a smile, "I'm just lucky, kid."
Waving his hand casually, the man in black robe smiled and said: "Luck is also a skill. If there is a chance in the future, I would like to meet him. Maybe he can become an alchemist."
Somewhat shocked, Xiao Zhan didn't seem to understand the meaning of these words.
"Hmm... If there is a chance in the future, I will work with you, the Xiao family." Smiling, the man in black robe turned to Ya Fei and the two and said, "No need to send her off, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, without waiting for the two of them to react, they strode out of the auction.
Touching his face inexplicably, Xiao Zhan turned his head and saw Ya Fei and Gu Ni staring at him with envy on their faces. He couldn't help but asked in shock: "What are you two doing?"
"Clan Chief Xiao, do you know the old gentleman from before?" Yafei asked tentatively.
"This is the first time I've seen it." Xiao Zhan smiled bitterly and shook his head. Looking at the strange expressions on the faces of Yafei and Fei, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy: "What is his identity?"
"Alas, the Xiao family is blessed."
Gu Ni shook his head gently, glanced at the foundation-building spiritual liquid that Gallebi held in his arms like a treasure, and said lightly: "These things were refined by him."
Hearing this, the expressions of Xiao Zhan and three others changed wildly at the same time.
After a moment, Xiao Zhan came back to his senses and beamed with joy. Unexpectedly, the old man in black robe turned out to be an alchemist. Looking at Gu Ni's previous attitude, it was obvious that he was an alchemist of a much higher level than him!
A second-grade alchemist can make a few of them polite, but what about a third-grade or fourth-grade alchemist?
God, people of that level and a family like theirs are not qualified to be acquainted with them.
"It's a big deal this time..." Recalling what the man in black robe said before about the opportunity to cooperate, Xiao Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up and he murmured.
On the side, after the shock, Galibi and Obapa's eyes were as jealous as those of rabbits.
