The Immortal Emperor Returns-Chapter 582 - A Playboy
Chapter 582 A Playboy
There were still three days before the auction. During the days, Qiu Yunping did his best to entertain and show the four around Shadowless City.
The day of the auction arrived.
“Have we attracted the attention of Mo Yan when we strolled around these days?” Before leaving, Flaming Qilin asked Chu Xun.
“Mo Yan is a difficult opponent. I’m afraid that he has been watching us since we stepped into Shadowless City,” Chu Xun said.
“So you made a handsome man like me look so ugly?” He said with an unhappy face. Flaming Qilin looked at himself in the mirror. He had yellow and withered hair, a thin figure, and was wearing the Shadowless Sect’s disciple uniform.
Chu Xun squinted at him and said, “You don’t look good yourself.”
Flaming Qilin squinted and looked as if he wanted to fight Chu Xun for three hundred rounds. Having thought he might be defeated, he gave up.
Chu Xun, Flaming Qilin, Mengdie, and Su Wei’er all changed their appearances. Mengdie and Su Wei’er were disguised as men.
Qiu Yunping came. When he saw the four, he got stunned and exclaimed, “If I hadn’t known in advance, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have recognized you even if you were standing in front of me. Chu Xun’s skill of disguise is amazing.”
“Qiu, stop flattering us.” Flaming Qilin was unhappy. “As a divine beast, I serve as your attendant. How many good deeds have you done in your past life?”
Qiu Yunping smiled bitterly. He thought he might have done something wrong in his last life.
Qiu Yunping came here with four attendants and asked them to stay on the top floor. Then he left with Chu Xun and his companions.
Before leaving, Chu Xun sealed the entire top floor with a magic formation. He knew that as long as he left, someone might come to investigate.
As expected, after Qiu Yunping left with the four dressed up as disciples of the Shadowless Sect, several figures appeared on the top floor. However, before they could approach, they were all killed by the magic formation.
“I feel deeply guilty to you, Chu Xun.” Qiu Yunping felt uncomfortable, thinking he was probably the first person in the world to ask Chu Xun to be his attendant. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦
“Please be natural.” Chu Xun reminded him. Qiu Yunping always bowed and nodded when talking to him. It looked unusual. Who had ever seen a master nodding and bowing when talking to his attendant?
Qiu Yunping laughed bitterly. He straightened his back and led the four towards Xihe Auction House.
Half an hour later, they arrived at Xihe Auction House. Qiu Yunping sent the invitation and then was led in by a specially assigned person.
The auction venue was large, covering an area of more than 10,000 square meters. There were VIP rooms separated by glass on the top floor. There were rows of seats on the bottom floor. The huge auction stage occupied the entire east side of the venue.
“Chu Xun, he has an annoying smell.” Mengdie frowned and secretly transmitted a voice to Chu Xun.
“Please calm down and ignore him,” Chu Xun replied. Mengdie was talking about the disciple who brought them in. She found that the person had a foul aura. Mengdie, the incarnation of peace and purity, was sensitive to the foul aura.
Qiu Yunping swept the surroundings with his gaze and was in disdain. He said to the young man leading the way, “Your Xihe Auction House can be considered to be a powerful one. But isn’t the auction venue too shabby? It’s comparable to a junkyard.”
The eyes of the young man turned black in an instant but soon returned to normal. He said with a smile, “Mr. Qiu, you must be joking. The Xihe Auction House will auction items, not the venue.”
“It is so shabby, and so do you. Stop talking nonsense with me here. What good things can be in such a shabby auction house? Will you auction carrots or potatoes?” Qiu Yunping squinted like a playboy.
The young man suddenly stopped and pointed at the private room beside him. “Mr. Qiu, this is your VIP room.”
Qiu Yunping glanced at it and saw the words “Tianzi No.2” on it. Then he looked contemptuous.
“Can such a shabby place be called a VIP room? Even my toilet is more luxurious than it.” Qiu Yunping pointed to the “Tianzi No.1” room next to him and said, “Shadowless City is my Shadowless Sect’s territory. I want this one.”
The young man lowered his head and replied with dignity, “Mr. Qiu, it has already been booked by someone else. Your private room is Tianzi No.2.”
Qiu Yunping’s face darkened. He cursed, “Fuck off. Who do you think I am? As a small potato, how dare you keep talking to me here? Let your master talk with me. I have chosen Tianzi No.1 already. If you keep nagging, I will kill you.”
After finishing his words, Qiu Yunping pushed the young man away and swaggered in. There were a sofa, a tea table, a fruit tray, and so on in the room.
Qiu Yunping picked up a grape and threw it into his mouth. Then he frowned and scolded angrily, “What the fuck is Xihe Auction House? Your fruit tastes so bad. It can only be fed to pigs. How shameful you are!”
The young man standing outside the door looked angry. Then he turned around and left.
After the young man left, Qiu Yunping took out a Jewel of Isolation and said to Chu Xun, “Brother Chu, how did I do?”
“Too bad.” Flaming Qilin mumbled. “If it were me, that man wouldn’t have been able to walk away.”
Chu Xun said, “You were not bad. Please keep on. After the auction begins, please bid as much as you want. Don’t be worried.”
Qiu Yunping nodded imperceptibly, indicating that he understood.
“Here comes trouble,” Chu Xun suddenly said.
Accompanied by an elder, the young man returned. The elder had steady footsteps and a strong aura. His cultivation was at the Intermediate Immortal Level, close to Qiu Yunping’s. It was a foul aura around him.
The elder did not break in rashly. He stood at the door, bowed, and said respectfully, “Mr. Qiu, may I come in?”
“No.” Qiu Yunping didn’t even raise his head. “I’ve already said that I don’t waste my time on a small potato.”
“My name is Mo Nai. I am an administrator of Xihe Auction House.”
“An administrator?” Qiu Yunping looked up at him and said, “I don’t think you can administrate anything. I want the Tianzi No.1 room. Do you have any problem with that?”
“Mr. Qiu, you have noble status. Why do you make it difficult for small potatoes like us? It is beneath your dignity to do such a thing. What if the others know it?” Mo Nai said.
“Shadowless City is the territory of my Shadowless Sect. I can sit wherever I want to. Don’t talk nonsense here. Get out of here,” Qiu Yunping said arrogantly.
Mo Nai’s pupils shrank slightly, a black aura surging in the air. He stared at Qiu Yunping and said, “Mr. Qiu, Tianzi No.1 room has been booked by someone else.”
“Who is it? Let the person come and talk to me.”
Mo Nai was about to speak but didn’t. His ears moved slightly, and then he lowered his head and said, “Since you like Tianzi No.1 room, I won’t say anything more.”
After finishing the words, Mo Nai motioned for the young man behind him to leave.
“Whatever you say is of no use. Even the master of your Xihe Auction House has to follow my rules,” Qiu Yunping said sarcastically.
Mo Nai paused for a moment but continued to walk, pretending not to hear, and strode away.
“You are good at restraining your emotions,” looking in the direction of Mo Nai, Qiu Yunping said.
“It’s not that he is good at restraining his emotions, but that someone asked him to.” Chu Xun chuckled. He sensed a strange fluctuation just now. Someone had sent a voice message to Mo Nai.
“The people of Xihe Auction House are so arrogant that they divide people into different grades,” Qiu Yunping said unhappily. The VIP rooms here were divided into four grades, Tian, Di, Ren, and He.
At the time, the young man who left just now walked over with a handsome young man. He had a tall figure and a formidable aura. He was actually an expert at the intermediate stage of the Earth Immortal Realm.
He was from the Assembly of Immortals.
Chu Xun’s pupils contracted slightly. “Are the people of the Assembly of Immortals still working with Mo Yan? With Gu Feiyu as an example, why do they still believe in Mo Yan?”
The handsome young man stopped at the door of Tianzi No.2 room. He looked at Qiu Yunping, who also squinted at him.
The man bowed slightly and entered the room.
More guests arrived one after another. They were the people of the alien races and the Assembly of Immortals, the masters of several nearby cities, and some well-known warriors.
It didn’t take long that the auction house, which could accommodate hundreds of people, was full. Chu Xun frowned slightly because most of them had a foul aura.
“Be careful. It’s time for the auction,” Chu Xun reminded him.
As expected, Mo Nai went on stage and said a lot of official words. He had expressed his thanks for long.
“I won’t go on superfluous words. Everyone here is busy. I am afraid that the Xihe Auction House won’t be able to bear the responsibility of wasting your time,” Mo Nai said with a smile.
“Don’t talk nonsense anymore if you know that. Let’s start now. The sofa is too hard for me and makes my waist ached.” Qiu Yunping shouted. His voice was so loud that everyone’s eyes were focused on him.
Qiu Yunping pursed his lips and rested lazily on the sofa with his legs crossed like a playboy.
“Okay, you are all old friends of Xihe Auction House. Everyone knows the rules. Now, let’s start with the first item.”
Mo Nai clapped his hand. Then a young man with a foul aura took an item and stepped forward. It looked rather large and was covered in a black cloth.
Mo Nai unveiled it. In an instant, it shone with a dazzling golden light. A set of golden armor appeared.
“This is Grandleaf Redgold Armor constructed from red gold. Once activated, it will improve your combat strength by a level. You will be able to bear a palm strike from an expert at the Great Completion of the Earth Immortal Realm and won’t die.”
His words caused an uproar.
Qiu Yunping was astounded as well. The Xihe Auction House was so amazing. Its first item was so extraordinary.
“The starting price of the armor is 500 mid-grade spiritual herbs. Please bid.”
“I’ll pay 500 mid-grade spiritual herbs.”
“600 mid-grade spiritual herbs.”
“800 mid-grade spiritual herbs.”
After Mo Nai finished his words, some of the people present began to bid.
As an armor, it could improve the strength of its user by a level and enable the user to bear a palm strike by an expert at the Great Completion of the Earth Immortal Realm. It was extremely tempting to warriors. Who didn’t want it?
At this time, the young man from the Assembly of Immortals in Tianzi No.2 room also began to bid and said loudly, “1,000 mid-grade spiritual herbs.”
“Brother Chu, what should I do?” Qiu Yunping asked.
Chu Xun was calm. He had found that the Grandleaf Redgold Armor was fake. In fact, it was a set of Devil Armor. Its so-called function of improving the user’s strength was just a result of doing harm to the person. It would make the user possessed by the foul aura. Then the user’s True Blood would be burnt. As a result, it increased the user’s strength but harmed the body.
“Just bid if you want,” Chu Xun said to Qiu Yunping secretly.
Qiu Yunping nodded, “Two thousand mid-grade spiritual herbs.”
The other people present were silent for seconds because Qiu Yunping added 1000 mid-grade spirit herbs at a time.
