Three Hundred and Seventy First Chapters Alarm
"Senior Mu, Miss Zhong." Hu Sailei saluted Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu.
"So that's it, I understand..." Zhong Xiu's mind was clear. After looking at Shi Mu and Hu Sailei, he quickly figured out the cause and effect.
"It turns out that behind all this, you, Brother Shi, arranged for it. I thought it was really my own efforts that defeated Yuquan Pavilion openly." Zhong Xiu said, with a sad expression on his face.
"Xiu'er, this competition was originally unfair. Wang Ruikun secretly sided with Elder Zhao. If we didn't make some preparations, we would have already lost without any competition. Wouldn't that be too unfair?" Shi Mu said.
Zhong Xiu was silent for a moment, then let out a soft breath, and the disappointed expression on his face gradually disappeared.
"Brother Shi, you're right. I was too naive. But, Husseile, you took so many pictures, and you spent at least one million spirit stones. Where did you get so many spirit stones?" Zhong Xiu asked with some doubts.
Husseile smiled and explained.
It turned out that after the two of Shi Mu left Youfeng Valley that day, Husseile took the risk of pretending to be the altar owner of Youfeng Valley, and through some means, transported the remaining goods that Shi Mu and others could not transport away, together with the sub-altar of Youfeng Valley. Some of the valuables accumulated over the years were all taken away, and they were sold out in pieces, and they were exchanged for a large sum of spirit stones. After that, they came to Cangxu City, and secretly contacted Shi Mu. There is today's situation.
"Of course, there are also some spiritual stones earned from selling talismans in the past two months. In the end, Husailei desperately let Husailei take them to take pictures of the last meditation tower. In fact, many of them were originally entrusted by me, and sold again. High, it’s nothing more than going out of the left pocket and getting in the right pocket, even though the commission charged by the Chamber of Commerce this time is not low, there is actually no big loss.” Shi Mu laughed.
"Brother Shi, why didn't you tell me in advance? That way I can help out together." Zhong Xiu asked.
"Xiu'er, you've been very busy these days. And it's best if you haven't participated in this matter from the beginning to the end. If Wang Ruikun or Elder Zhao ask about it, you can deal with it calmly. By the way, Hou Sailei is disguised." Those who participated in the auction, the mysterious person Yu Tian has long since disappeared, and they can't find any details." Shi Mu said.
Zhong Xiu looked at Shi Mu with flickering eyes, and after a while, he said:
"Brother Shi, it's really hard work for you. For this auction, you not only took out so many things, but also drew talismans day and night, and finally spent so many spirit stones..."
"It's nothing. It's all worth it to get the qualification to go to Lingtian Peak. I remember you said that once someone makes great contributions to the Chamber of Commerce, the mysterious president will appear. If you can successfully complete the Monster Race Special Envoy Maybe you will have the opportunity to meet the president of the chamber of commerce. At that time, I will definitely terminate the contract for you!" Shi Mu said firmly.
If Shi Mu had said that when he first met Zhong Xiu in the cave, he might have been a little arrogant, but now he said that with full confidence.
Not to mention anything else, after this auction, he now has almost a million spirit stones in his pocket, and this spirit stone is not a small sum even for the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce.
Zhong Xiu was moved in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to say something, at this moment, shopkeeper Ge's voice came from the door:
"Elder Zhong, Vice President Wang called a meeting in the main hall of Hanyuan Pavilion."
"Brother Shi, just wait for my good news!" Zhong Xiu said and stood up.
...
In the main hall of Hanyuan Pavilion, there are a few scattered people sitting here and there.
Vice President Wang Ruikun sat on the main seat, and was chatting with Zhong Xiu who was sitting next to him, but most of the time, he was talking and Zhong Xiu was listening.
At this moment, Zhong Xiu was dressed in a light green dress, and while chatting with Wang Ruikun with a smile, she felt a little puzzled in her heart.
Today Wang Ruikun looked like he was in a pretty good mood.
But she knew that Elder Zhao had a very close relationship with Wang Ruikun, and now it was obvious that she had won, why did the other party do so?
After a while, many members of the Chamber of Commerce also came to the hall one after another. Everyone sat down in their respective seats, and after waiting for a while, the enchanting woman, Elder Zhao, finally arrived.
Elder Zhao's face was not very good-looking now. As soon as she entered the hall, she sat down directly opposite Zhong Xiu, and then stared at Zhong Xiu intently, without saying a word.
Before the auction was over, the enchanting woman was quite proud, but she never expected that Yingxian Pavilion would advance the star stone, which everyone thought was the finale, by one rank, and instead used another spiritual weapon as the finale, and The sky-high price of 800,000 spirit stones was also auctioned, surpassing it in one fell swoop.
The news was like a bolt from the blue, which made the enchanting woman so angry that she almost lost her temper on the spot.
Seeing Zhong Xiu's calm and relaxed look today, she gritted her teeth with hatred, her originally pretty face now had a layer of sinister.
"Now that everyone is here, I want to announce some good news to you all. In this large-scale auction of Cangxu, the two major auction venues of Yingxian Pavilion and Yuquan Pavilion sold a total of 8.01 million spirit stones. This amount , more than twice as much as the auction in previous years. Everyone here has contributed a lot. On behalf of the president, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone." Wang Ruikun said with a smile.
The members of the chamber of commerce here all showed joy when they heard the news. You know, according to the old rules of the chamber of commerce, they, the participants in the auction, can get a reward, and the amount is based on the auction amount. Looking at the situation this year, They will also reap a lot.
"Elder Zhong really worked hard for this auction, and spent a lot of money." The enchanting woman suddenly said.
"Why did Elder Zhao say that?" Zhong Xiu asked.
"Huh, pretending to be counting! You and I know the real value of the items in Yingxian Pavilion. How dare you say that there is nothing tricky about them?" The enchanting woman snorted coldly and said.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze.
Everyone knew in their hearts that this auction was actually a competition for the special envoys of the demon clan. The enchanting woman's words were too obvious, so she directly said that Zhong Xiu was unscrupulous.
"Elder Zhao's words are wrong. The auction originally advocates free bidding. The price of the lot depends entirely on the buyer's bidding. The elder should know better than me. And when the Lingshi is delivered on the spot, the chamber of commerce will charge a commission of 10% of the handling fee. This procedural matter is supervised by Zhou steward, and the people in the chamber of commerce are responsible for the operation. How can there be tricks in it?" Zhong Xiu Said unhurriedly.
"As far as I know, nearly one-third of the items in Yingxian Pavilion were bought by the same person, and the finale was also bought by him at a high price. How can you explain such a coincidence?" Enchanted The woman said.
"Zhong Xiu is also very curious about this mysterious buyer. As for its background, the Chamber of Commerce must have sent someone to investigate it? If the Chamber of Commerce has no way of knowing, how can Zhong Xiu know?" Zhong Xiu smiled slightly. .
The enchanting woman hesitated when she heard the words, and then looked at Zhong Xiu angrily. She was about to speak when she was interrupted by Wang Ruikun:
"The two elders don't need to say more. Since we are both members of the Chamber of Commerce, it is natural to put the interests of the Chamber of Commerce first. This auction has achieved a lot, and the two of you deserve the most credit. Especially Elder Zhong, for the first time The success of organizing the auction is so outstanding, I really admire this old man."
As he said that, Wang Ruikun looked at the enchanting woman calmly, and abruptly cut off the words that the enchanting woman continued.
"Okay, according to the previous agreement, the old man announced that Elder Zhong will be qualified to be the special envoy of the three major tribes of the Yaozu. We will leave in a month." Wang Ruikun paused.
"Zhong Xiu thanked the vice president." Zhong Xiu got up and saluted after hearing this.
"By the way, Elder Zhong, let me tell you why I feel like something is missing today. Why didn't Fellow Daoist Shi Mu come with you?" Wang Ruikun asked.
"He's not from the chamber of commerce, but just Zhong Xiu's friend, so it's not suitable to appear on such an occasion," Zhong Xiu said.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Shi is too out of touch. By the way, I have a suggestion, can I ask Elder Zhong to pass it on for me?" Wang Ruikun asked.
"Vice President Wang, please speak," Zhong Xiu said.
"I would like to invite Fellow Daoist Shi to join the Chamber of Commerce, and also take the position of Elder Ke Qing. This time, Elder Zhong will be an envoy to the Yaozu, and he will definitely help you." Wang Ruikun stroked his beard and said so.
"Okay, Zhong Xiu will definitely pass on the message." Zhong Xiu replied.
Wang Ruikun encouraged Zhong Xiu a few more words before announcing the end of the meeting. The crowd gradually dispersed, and Zhong Xiu also left.
"Uncle?" After Zhong Xiu left, the enchanting woman looked at Wang Ruikun pleadingly.
"In this competition, I have given you too much convenience, but you still suffered a crushing defeat, so you can't blame me." Wang Ruikun said coldly, and walked away.
The enchanting woman stood aside.
"Zhong Xiu..." She gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, her eyes were full of resentment.
...
After Zhong Xiu left Hanyuan Pavilion, he excitedly walked towards the warehouse that Shi Mu rented in the south of the city.
In the days after the auction started, Shi Mu moved to a warehouse in order not to be noticed.
Half an hour later, Zhong Xiu came to the warehouse door, waved a white light, and entered the warehouse door.
A layer of blue light appeared on the warehouse door, which dissipated after a while, and the door creaked open.
Zhong Xiu looked around a few times, walked in, and the door closed automatically.
In the warehouse, Shi Mu was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.
He is trying to figure out the seventh-level cultivation method of the Vigorous Demon Ape Birthless Art. At this auction, Shi Mu also bought a bottle of blood essence of the earth-level monster ape through Husai Lei. The Vigorous Demon Ape Birthless Art can finally start to practice again. .
Shi Mu heard the voice and stood up.
"Brother Shi!"
Zhong Xiu's face was full of joy, and he was about to tell Shi Mu the good news that he had obtained the envoy Ling Tianfeng.
At this moment, her face suddenly turned pale, her eyes turned dizzy for a while, her snow-white face suddenly turned red, her body staggered two steps, and she was about to fall.
Shi Mu's expression changed, his figure flickered, and the next moment he appeared next to Zhong Xiu, holding her body. (To be continued.)
