Chapter 2160 The Calm Before the Storm
Chen Xuan took Qing'er around Hanbing City and looked at the places where he usually took classes, practiced martial arts, rested, and played. In the evening, they began their journey home.
Not long after, they arrived at Fengcheng
Several friends had long known that his master was coming back. They all lined up at the door and waited obediently. Chou stood in the front, with two junior brothers behind him.
"Welcome home! Master!" Chou happily greeted him.
Chen Xuan responded with a "hey hey" and casually said, "I'll make room today, your sister Qing'er is here."
"What? Sister Qing'er is here?" Chou opened his eyes excitedly, and the other two junior brothers couldn't help but cast curious glances. Although they had heard it a lot before, this was the first time they saw it.
"Of course, I'm here." Qing'er walked out from behind Chen Xuan and greeted Chou.
"I miss you so much, Sister Qing'er." Zhou rushed over to hug her. They used to practice together and were good siblings who had been through life and death together, so they didn't mind intimate actions very much. Over time, it became a habit.
She was very helpless, but she still hugged him enthusiastically. There was no other way. You couldn't not pamper such a naughty junior brother!
After greeting Qing'er, he began to introduce these new junior brothers to Qing'er.
Xiao Fei, Nan Hao. Qing'er greeted them enthusiastically.
"In this case, you friends chat first! I'll go find Master Ta!"
"Okay, Master!" Zhou sent him away easily. Turning around, he played with them.
Chen Xuan looked back. Under the orange-yellow light, those in pink, black, and green clothes were all dazzled by the light.
It looked pretty good.
Chen Xuan walked into the tower. Master Ta was already waiting there.
"Master, long time no see!"
"Master, long time no see."
"How are the preparations for the auction going? Did you bring back any rare treasures?"
"I wanted to auction the formation stone, but I have already signed a contract with the other party, so I can only sell one piece this time."
"This is not bad. Once the sign is put up, there will be no worries about no one buying it!"
"In addition, I also brought a magic crystal."
"Is it the one from the divine beast?"
"Yes."
"That's not particularly valuable. Let's use this as the finale!"
"Yes."
"Rumors about Qing'er and us, Are you ready?"
"Everything is ready, just waiting for the opening."
"This time the opponent is not a good person. During the days when you were away, I have received news that half of the people in the city now believe his lies. Most of the remaining half are ordinary people, and you know our business. They are all waiting to see you make a fool of yourself!"
"They are not laughing at me, they are laughing at whoever is unlucky!"
"Then are you sure? It is easy to defeat them once, but it is difficult to defeat them completely!"
Chen Xuan is not worried about this at all. "Then do you think if I fail this time, I still have a chance to turn things around?"
"Not much."
"Then I will use the same method to prevent them from turning things around! Give them a taste of their own medicine
Finally, the day of opening came, the weather was clear and the breeze was gentle.
People had received the news long ago. They came from all directions. People in their line of work were well-informed, so it was not a big deal. But in fact, more people came to see the joke after hearing a few rumors.
The air auction industry here is very atmospheric. The room is red with red floors and red hydrangeas, because The house is made of green tiles and red bricks, covered with blue-gray tiles, with a crimson gate, an empty blue cement floor, and a few salutes in front.
It was already noon, and the owners appeared one by one.
First was Chen Xuan, the head of the Kong Auction House.
Then came the second head. Zhou Yi
Then came the leader of Han Bingcheng, Han.
The leader's apprentice, Qing'er
Finally, Chen Xuan's apprentices, Zhou, Xiaofei, and Nanhao.
And, the old man Ta who was not in the public eye and was observing everything in the dark.
As they appeared one by one, people kept talking.
"I heard from their boss that your money is not clean!"
"You are just getting started? I heard that the girl and her have some ideas!"
"The one in front is his master. He is still not driven out even though he is like this. He must be involved in corruption!"
"That's according to you. None of them are good people."
"They are just not good people! Who knows what ideas they have?"
"Not necessarily? So they are all shaking! You should always leave some room for maneuver. "
"Actually, that makes sense. But if it's a rumor, then the one who has been spreading the rumor is doomed!"
"Well, let's wait and see!"
Chen Xuan walked past you, pretending not to hear anything. He walked straight to the stage.
"Dear Taoists, today is the day when my auction house is opened. Thank you all for your support!"
"Before I start my speech, I will ignore the original author of this speech and add one more sentence before it. I wish you all a good time today, but at the same time, please pay attention to safety.
"You may have heard of our Kong Auction House. It was the one a few years ago. That was because of the war. In order not to affect other people, the owner of this store set up a barrier in his own store. To avoid everyone from suffering, but he lost his own store! Now we are making a comeback. He is still the manager of this store! Just when the movie will return to the previous auction mode..."
Chen Xuan spoke eloquently. The speech was written by Qing'er yesterday. It was nothing more than thanking relatives and friends, thanking fellow Taoists, welcoming visitors, and the characteristics of the store...
The speech was not very long. But halfway through, he finally waited for the person he was waiting for. So he changed the subject and changed his tone
"I know that there are other guests besides everyone in front of me today, but what I want to say to them is, please give me time first, let me finish this speech."
The audience present had no idea, thinking that he was going to say some words of praise, and still listened quietly, adding a few gossips from time to time, but Zhou and his group already knew the purpose of this speech, and they all looked around vigilantly. Beware of someone suddenly appearing!
But what they didn't expect was that the first wave of attacks they were waiting for was not a military attack, but a rumor that was more terrible than this.
"Chen Xuan! Do I need to say these words again?"
Sure enough, the four words "disaster comes from falling" are not out of thin air! Otherwise, you see, the opponents all come from above.
Chen Xuan didn't say anything, just pretending not to see it.
Those people thought it was very interesting, so they made up stories.
I heard that your inn is a fraud of Liaohanbing City!"
"And who doesn't know about you and that woman? She must have betrayed her master!"
"That Hanbing Sect must not be a good thing either. The woman you see has a paralyzed face! Hahahaha..."
"Are you guys done?"
