Chapter 724
Chu Xuan and his companions stayed in the private room for a while, and then, led by the attendants, came to the courtyard arranged by the Baili family.
After all, the Treasure Conference has not been officially held yet.
Chu Xuan and his companions came to the private room in advance, just to take a look at the situation inside the auction house.
After the look, they still had to go back to the courtyard and wait for the Treasure Conference to be officially held.
Gong Yue'e drove the wheelchair into the courtyard and couldn't help but sighed, "The Baili family is really golden, even this temporary courtyard is built very exquisitely."
This large courtyard is composed of more than a dozen small courtyards.
Each small courtyard has its own theme.
Small bridges and flowing water, birds singing and flowers blooming, green bamboo...
The themes of more than a dozen small courtyards are different.
This is just the temporary courtyard of the Gong family.
The temporary courtyards of other noble families must be the same.
"Zhang Gongfeng, choose first." Gong Mingjian smiled.
Chu Xuan pointed casually, "Let's go to that one."
He chose the courtyard closest to the inside, not in the middle of other courtyards.
This way, he could avoid many prying eyes.
The others also chose their own courtyards.
The night deepened.
Chu Xuan sat alone in the courtyard, looking at the starry sky.
There was no sun or moon in the dark sky.
There were only stars in the sky.
After coming to this courtyard, he always felt that he was being spied on. After thinking about it, he did not return to the Giant Star, but meditated in the center of the courtyard.
After a while, Chu Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the rockery in the courtyard.
"Are you so rude, a cultivator from the Baili family?"
The figure behind the rockery was startled and had to show up.
He frowned and said, "How do you know that I am a cultivator from the Baili family?"
Chu Xuan's face was calm, "The formation in the courtyard was arranged by the Baili family. You can enter the courtyard quietly without going through the main gate. Who else can you be if not from the Baili family?"
The cultivator was seen through by Chu Xuan, but he was not embarrassed. Instead, he strode to the stone table and bowed to him.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I am Baili Ye."
"I don't like to talk nonsense, so I'll get straight to the point this time."
Chu Xuan said lightly, "I don't like to talk nonsense either."
Baili Ye nodded, "Okay! I'm here for only one thing, is Fellow Daoist Zhang willing to work for my Baili family?"
Chu Xuan asked casually, "How is the treatment?"
Baili Ye smiled, "Double the current treatment of Fellow Daoist Zhang."
Hearing this, Chu Xuan frowned, "What do you mean?"
Double the current treatment is a bit outrageous.
I'm afraid that the Baili family's move is not to win him over to serve as a worshiper.
The smile on Baili Ye's face became even bigger, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, do you know the Kuangfeng Society?"
"Of course I know."
Baili Ye continued, "Some people do things in the open, and some people do things in the dark."
"Some things that cannot be seen in the light also need someone to do them."
"People who do these things should naturally get higher treatment."
After saying this, he smiled and looked at Chu Xuan, and stopped talking.
Chu Xuan seemed to smile.
The other party did not say it explicitly, but the meaning of his words was very clear.
The Baili family did not want to recruit him to serve as a god-transforming worshiper.
Instead, they wanted him to be a white glove and do some dirty work for the Baili family.
After a long while, Baili Ye smiled and said, "Does fellow Daoist Zhang have a decision?"
Chu Xuan said lightly, "Zhang has never had the heart to fight, please go back."
Baili Ye was quite surprised, "You don't want to accept it?"
"Double treatment! How can ordinary people get it?"
"If it weren't for your strong strength and being an outsider cultivator, such a good thing would never fall on your head!"
Chu Xuan said coldly, "Don't enter my courtyard again in the future."
"If this matter is exposed, it will not be a good thing for the reputation of the Baili family."
After speaking, he turned around and waved his sleeves, and issued an order to expel him.
Baili Ye was even more surprised, and shook his head again and again after a while, "Zhang Jing, you will regret your decision today."
After saying that, he turned around and left, and disappeared in a while.
Chu Xuan spread his consciousness all over the courtyard.
He soon found the back door of the formation set up by the Baili family.
Baili Ye entered the courtyard from this back door.
Chu Xuan looked towards the direction of the giant castle in Baili City and sneered, "You want me to be your dog? How ridiculous."
He has never been used to being someone's subordinate.
Even if he came to the Gong family, he was not dependent on the Gong family, but a two-way rush between him and the Gong family.
The contract document signed at the beginning clearly stated the rights and obligations.
As long as he didn't want to, he could not help the Gong family.
Now the Baili family wants him to be a white glove.
They really treat him like a dog.
"I thought the Baili family was the overlord of the Northern Continent, with a long history and a long heritage."
"Now it seems that the family has become arrogant after being the overlord for a long time."
Chu Xuan sneered, "That's right, if it were another Divine Transformation cultivator, he would have surrendered long ago under such a great inducement, and would not have told the story of the Baili family leaving a backdoor in the formation and breaking into the courtyard privately."
After thinking about it, he took out several sets of new formation plates and formation flags from the Qiankun bag and rearranged the entire courtyard to ensure that there were no gaps left.
However, even so, he did not leave through the Zhutian Mirror.
Be vigilant.
The Treasure Conference will be held for a maximum of more than ten days.
During these ten days, let's continue to stay in this valley.
...
"He refused?"
The head of the Baili family frowned.
Bai Liye nodded, "And he refused very coldly, and said not to enter the courtyard again in the future."
"There is a threat in his words, I'm afraid he wants to expose this matter."
The head of the Baili family sneered, "He won't say it, and no one will listen or believe it even if it is exposed."
"Because my Baili family is the only overlord in Beilu."
He paused, and then said, "Such a good treatment, this Zhang Jing actually refused it flatly, it's really ridiculous!"
"In that case, then don't worry about him."
"It's just a mid-stage transformation spirit, my Baili family has no shortage of it! As long as the word is spread, there are many people willing to surrender."
"What the head of the family said is very true." Bai Liye nodded.
"Then... should we deal with this Zhang Jing?"
The head of the Baili family sneered, "We don't need to deal with it, naturally there are people willing to be the vanguard."
"Didn't the Hong family suffer heavy losses? Give them a message."
Bai Liye nodded immediately, "I understand."
...
Three days later, the treasure conference was held as scheduled.
Chu Xuan and his party walked out of the courtyard and returned to the private room.
Looking out from the one-way transparent glass wall, you can see that the auction hall is already crowded.
There are even many cultivators who can only stand, but they still have to squeeze in.
It can be seen how prosperous this treasure conference is.
Gong Yue'e exclaimed, "I'm afraid that the Baili family has made a lot of money just from the admission tickets."
"Except for the thirty-six families who can enter for free, everyone else has to buy a ticket."
Gong Mingjian nodded, "There are tickets for sitting and tickets for standing. It's really calculating."
