When Lin Fan and the others were led to the private room, many guests had already seated themselves throughout the auction hall, and the seats on the lower level were almost completely occupied by shadows of the people sitting there!
"Looks like today's auction will definitely have a lot of fiery competition!"
Lin Fan's lips curved with a trace of amused interest, showing no signs of worry.
In contrast, Bai Weiwei's expression was sowhat heavy as she said, "Most of these people have their sights set on the parchnt scroll. Godfather only gave
tens of millions, it seems difficult to win the bid for the parchnt scroll!"
"What? That old man only gave you tens of millions?" Lin Fan asked in surprise.
"Yes, why?" Bai Weiwei nodded as if it were obvious, looking at Lin Fan with surprise.
Lin Fan rolled his eyes helplessly. Hadn't that old man ever been to an auction, stepping in with just tens of millions? Especially in an auction that had drawn countless wealthy people from around the world, without billions, you probably wouldn't be able to buy a thing!
Suddenly, just as Lin Fan was about to open his mouth and finish speaking, his gaze drifted sideways and was imdiately drawn to two figures!
With a maid leading the way, a man and a woman walked steadily through the corridor, heading towards the VIP room.
However, strangely, this man and woman were not dressed like modern people. The man appeared to be around fifty years old, wearing a gray robe, with black and white hair coiled atop his head, adorned with a hairpin, and sporting a beard on his chin. He walked with a light, quick step, hands clasped behind his back, exuding the deanor of a wise and enlightened person.
The woman was dressed in a white long gown, very similar to Lin Qianxiao's attire. Her cascading black hair resembled a waterfall draping over her shoulders, falling to her waist, and adorned with a golden phoenix-tail hairpin atop her head, looking very noble.
However, the woman wore a veil, revealing only a pair of spirited eyes and willow eyebrows, making it difficult to see her face. Only the silhouette of her graceful figure drawn by the long gown confird that she was indeed a beauty!
But because the woman was side-facing Lin Fan, he could only see her silhouette without catching sight of her eyes. Her graceful figure seed sowhat familiar to him, causing him to furrow his brow!
"Could it be that I know her?"
Lin Fan murmured to himself, filled with doubt.
Bai Weiwei followed Lin Fan's gaze towards the masked woman, instantly feeling displeased. What a lecher! With two such charming beauties by his side, he was still ogling other won. Truly a thoroughgoing scoundrel!
"Humph! What are you staring at, haven't seen a woman before!" Bai Weiwei snorted coldly out of the blue.
"I feel like this person seems familiar." Lin Fan expressed his curiosity.
"Familiar with what? It seems like any woman you see seems familiar to you!" Bai Weiwei said irritably.
"Really?"
Lin Fan slightly raised his eyebrows.
"They should be from so sect!" At this point, Lin Qianxiao suddenly spoke.
"If it's just an ordinary sect, it's no trouble, but I dread the appearance of those old ghosts!" Lin Fan pondered for a mont and said.
In Huaxia, there's a saying passed down: 'One Evil One Sect Two Towers Four Clans,' which ranks the strength of Martial World sects!
However, this ranking is from a hundred years ago. Over the years, many sects have grown stronger, with so wanting to surpass One Evil One Sect and rewrite the ranking!
The so-called 'One Evil' is a notoriously evil sect in the Martial World, nad 'Ten Thousand Evils Hall'. But it is said that a hundred years ago, 'Ten Thousand Evils Hall' committed acts that angered humans and gods alike, leading to a mass siege by the Martial World, causing heavy casualties and nearly resulting in their annihilation.
However, a few strong mbers remained, and throughout these hundred years of rebuilding, they have grown considerably strong. After all, a dying cal is still bigger than a horse!
'One Sect' is Lin Fan's sect, the 'Sun and Moon Divine Sect'. The 'Sun and Moon Divine Sect' also suffered severe blows a hundred years ago with the fall of the Four Heavenly Kings, and has been in decline compared to its forr glory. However, its foundation is still quite solid!
'Two Towers' refers to 'Celestial Tower' and 'Wind Celestial Tower', whose strength closely follows One Evil One Sect. Through a hundred years of effort, coupled with the blows suffered by One Evil One Sect, the strength of 'Two Towers' today does not lag behind One Evil One Sect!
Four Clans include 'Tang Sect'. Lin Fan once paid respects at the mountain, intimidating two Tang Sect mbers.
Then there's the 'Carefree Sect', 'Unrivaled Sect', and 'Shadowless Sect'. Gongyu Qingxin once belonged to the 'Shadowless Sect', and the deceased Zheng Longyun was a nad disciple of the 'Unrivaled Sect'!
Lin Fan doesn't worry about the appearance of Four Clans, but fears the ergence of n from 'Two Towers'. Who knows how many geniuses have erged from 'Two Towers' over these hundred years!
Shortly after, the masked woman and the gray-haired middle-aged man were led by the maid into a VIP room, and Lin Fan finally withdrew his gaze.
Before long, more Martial World figures appeared, including a man wearing East Asian samurai attire, stepping on wooden clogs, who caught Lin Fan's attention. A long sword hung at his waist, and he was led by a maid into a VIP room!
Simultaneously, a few burly foreign n made Lin Fan take a few extra glances, feeling these foreigners were sowhat suspicious!
Soon, everyone invited was nearly all inside the auction hall, and the auction closed its doors. Even those with invitation scrolls could no longer enter.
The auction hall's doors were shut, and the lights above shone brightly, illuminating the entire hall!
Treading music began to play softly on the stage as the curtain slowly drew back, revealing a beautiful woman to the crowd.
The woman wore a red cheongsam embroidered with lily flowers, her hair styled like a little hill behind her head, and a seductive smile graced her face. The slit at the hem of her cheongsam was boldly revealing her fair legs without reservation to the audience.
Any auctioneer at an auction is always beautiful. Just imagine, you co excitedly to bid on items only to find a woman auctioneer uglier than Feng—it's likely you'd spend half the ti retching over the sight, leaving you in no mood to bid!
"Hello everyone, I am the chief auctioneer for this auction. On behalf of the auction, I extend a warm welco to guests from all over the world who have taken ti out of their busy schedules to attend this auction. Thank you!"
The female auctioneer gently smiled and then bowed ninety degrees to the crowd, her collar dipping low, exposing a deep cleavage that was extrely visible, imdiately eliciting cheers from the audience.
This effect was exactly what the female auctioneer wanted—no man wants to lose face before a beautiful woman. As long as the auctioneer acts coy and a bit seductive, selling items won't be a problem!
Thud~
Just at this ti, a loud, resonant clock chi sounded suddenly. Auctions have many rituals, starting with picking an auspicious ti, just like many businesses choose an auspicious day to open—an auction is business too, and it's now the perfect, auspicious mont!
The female auctioneer imdiately laughed aloud, "I now declare, this auction officially begins!"
