Chapter 1094
(Unedited)
…
Xin Ja sits on his spot while a feeling of excitent is in his heart. This is the first ti for him to attend an auction, so one could say that he feels both excited and nervous at the sa ti. Qing Joming on his side showed a faint smile on his face after seeing the jittery and uncomfortable Xin Ja.
"Hey, relax… I promise you that this auction here would be fun and exciting. Hehe… Well… if you have so money on you, then you might want to bid on so items you like. Just raise that number…" Qing Joming said while pointing at the number pad placed behind the chair in front of him.
Xin Ja innocently takes the number pad and scrutinized it before putting it back on.
"Just raise that one up if you want to bid." Qing Joming repeated.
anwhile, the seats are slowly getting filled out as the auction ti drew near. Xin Ja could also see so people seated on private booths with so people serving those inside the booth. He could not help but throw those people with curious looks.
"Those guys are rich scions and clans from around Ogden Town and the nearest city. I heard that on one of these booths, soone from the City of Alesia, the city of lore and magic, ca through the teleportation channel of Ogden Southern Gate village…"
Xin Ja has heard of such a city from his books before, so he feels a bit curious now.
"Commander Wang Zhou was forced to leave his wounded and still suffering son, and assisted that convoy in entering the town… And guess what, that commander took his son to the town. He is hoping that soone could cure his son's condition. In fact, I heard that he is going to ask a relative to assist them…" Qing Joming added.
Xin Ja was a bit taken aback upon hearing his words. Who is more familiar than him with the condition of Wang Changli? But upon hearing that the Wang father and son have a relative in the town, Xin Ja could not help but think about that person who has the sa family na as them.
"Are they related to my master?... If they are, then for my master's sake, I will try to cure that guy then… But I hope that he would not pester Yao Xue and change his attitude for the better." he thought.
Xin Ja is just a bit confused at the attitude of that Wang Changli guy. His master is a very stern and upright person, so how could his relative be like that?
But he also could not bla his master for having such relatives, he could only lant their luck for eting him at that ti.
Soon, he noticed people began discussing when soone appears in the private booth. That person is a veiled woman wearing a light pink gown and silver crown on her hair. Although no one could see her whole face, from her eyes alone and the contour of her nose, they could already deduce that this woman is very beautiful. That… and coupled with her well-shaped body, thin waist, which shows an almost perfect figure, the eyes of the n in the auction house are already glued on her.
The crowd was imdiately silent at this ti, while Xin Ja already noticed the bulging eyes of Qing Joming as his neck is craned over to that booth on the second floor.
Then suddenly from the corner of his eyes, Xin Ja noticed a familiar figure. It was his father, Xin Jong. Beside Xin Jong is a middle-aged burly man which bears a heroic aura.
"Hey, that's your dad… Would you want to go there and greet him?" Qing Joming said as he has already recovered from his stupor.
"No, it's fine. Papa is a bit busy…"
When Qing Joming heard this, a playful expression appears on his handso face.
"Oh, so it's… Papa…" he teased.
Suddenly, he stopped and a lancholy expression appears on his face.
"Sigh… You're lucky. Your father really pampers you well… As for , my father treats like crap… He would always tell to do this,… tells to do that… but no matter what I do, it's still not enough. It was as if, my effort is only laughable…"
Feeling the lancholy in the tone of his friend, Xin Ja just patted his shoulder awkwardly.
He then saw soone he knew.
When he first saw Liu Zhen, Xin Ja viewed her as the young woman he saw in his dreams. But after being with Yao Xue, it seems that he has forgotten about her in his dreams.
Such is the pickle-mindedness of the youths. This is true especially for Xin Ja who has is not that well acquainted with people.
This ti, he saw another side of Liu Zhen. She is wearing a white silky gown that flows through her youthful curves. She even wears light makeup which made her looks like a fairy from the heavens who has co to visit the world.
It seems that she could feel his gaze, so she shifted her eyes, and their gaze t. A slightly surprised expression appears on her beautiful face. She then showed a faint smile that attracted the people around her.
Xin Ja nodded his head to greet her cordially. But deep inside his heart, he feels a hint of excitent for so unknown reason. Well, he would deny it, but in truth, he feels excited because soone as beautiful as Liu Zhen has recognized him.
And this made his heart skip a beat.
Suddenly, he noticed her frowning a bit, and then she quickly strode towards their seats near the back.
"You… what are you doing here?" she said while pointing at Qing Joming.
Qing Joming wanted to hide at that ti, but who would have known that he would be noticed by her? So he has no choice but to greet this tyrannosaurus cousin of her.
"Hehe… Hello, cousin… I'm here with Xin Ja, we wanted to see this exciting auction, so…" Qing Joming said with a sheepish smile.
"You… are you thinking of creating another trouble?" she berated.
"No… no, of course not." Qing Joming said while waving his hand.
She squinted her eyes and looks at her cousin with suspicion.
"Well, well… if it isn't Qing Joming, the poor alchemist…" soone suddenly said.
The three were distracted and turned towards the source of the voice at the sa ti.
When Liu Zhen sees who the voice belongs to her expression imdiately darkens.
Xin Ja noticed four figures walking towards them. The young man leading the group looks handso and is wearing an expensive-looking robe. The people behind him also wear sothing that shows that each of them belongs to an affluent family in Ogden Town.
"Dong Bin… what do you want?" Liu Zhen said in a cold tone.
She did not want to be interrupted when talking to people, so it made her feel irritated.
"Haha… Do not get angry, beauty Zhen… I'm just here to greet your cousin." Dong Bin said with a chuckle.
"You see… I and my friends here are able to enter not because of our… family's influence, but because of our ability… Last few days ago, we were able to concoct a potion, that the auction house wanted to auction, so… we're here." He said with a proud expression.
"Hehe… What kind of potion was it? Is it another of your aphrodisiac potions? Hahaha…"
"You!..." Dong Bin did not expect that Qing Joming would say that in front of his cousin.
"I knew it… pervert as always…" Qing Joming said with a sneer.
"You… just you wait! Just you wait!... Anyway, at least soone would buy my potions… Unlike you who is a poor and a destitute alchemist…" Dong Bin said with a glare and still trying to retort while walking away.
With a sneer on her beautiful face, Liu Zhen stride forward and took a seat beside Xin Ja.
"Hey, cousin, aren't you going to sit with an uncle in the private booth?" Qing Joming asked in confusion.
"What do you know? I'm here to make sure that you did not cause any trouble…" she said with an icy glare.
Qing Joming quickly shuts up and got seated like an obedient dog on his seat.
But Xin Ja could see the pout on his face which signifies that he is not satisfied with his cousin around.
"Hey… I heard that it was your dad who wanted to auction the space bag called the Mule, is this right? I wonder how city officer Xin Jong was able to get his hands on those things..." she whispered beside Xin Ja.
Upon hearing her words and feeling her warm breath on his skin, the hair on Xin Ja's body quickly stands on end.
He is astounded at the ability of the Liu clan to gather information. They even know that the Mule ca from his father.
At this ti, cold sweat began to form on Xin Ja's forehead. He did not know how to answer that question. If one could consider that as a question.
But then, Xin Wei knew that she is just asking casually and is trying to gather information from him.. However, the way she gathers the information is making Xin Ja feel uncomfortable.
