The Demon God King's son-in-law
CHAPTER 124 | Auction Night
By late afternoon, Shen Long was invited to see the harbor by his guide. There was a frenzy of people in the bustling port by the loading and unloading of goods from merchant ships.
Shen Long saw people from the South Sea sect guarding around the port.
“It turns out that this South Sea sect dominates this southern sea coastal city, as well as dominating both Liu and Ming royal ports. They have the guts” Shen Long murmured in his heart.
“Master, people from the South Sea sect are seen a lot in this port. They also have some sect-flagged ships over there” the guide said as he pointed to the row of sailing ships with the flag of the South Sea sect.
“Where is this South Sea sect residence?” shen Long asked.
“Secte South Sea centered on an island south of this port. They control the island. However they have a sect branch in this southern sea coastal city” said the guide.
“Master, tonight the auction will start soon. Does the master still need my help later?” ask driver.
“No, for today you have accompanied me enough. Tomorrow come back and pick us up at the inn” Shen Long said
“Alright, because it's almost night. Let's go back to lodging” continued Shen Long.
When he arrived at the inn, Shen Long immediately paid for the services of the guide and hoped that he could accompany him back the next day.
Then Shen Long immediately headed inside his room, inside the room he saw Gu Yan who had been dressed beautifully waiting for him with a dish on the table.
Shen Long then cleaned himself up then ate with Gu Yan inside their room. Gu Yan's feeling was flowery, she performed beautifully, hoping that Shen Long would praise her performance tonight.
But Shen Long did not comment on his performance, he was thinking about what he had observed in a day around the southern sea coastal city.
“Gu Yan” greeted Shen Long suddenly looked at Gu Yan's face.
“Eh, yes chairman” Gu Yan was shocked out of nervousness when his name was called by Shen Long.
“How much money did you bring?” shen Long asked.
“There is about 10jt gold tail inside the storage ring tuan” Gu Yan said.
“A lot? Where's that money?” shen Long asked in surprise.
“Sekte Eternal Mountain left a lot of money as we took their residence chairman. Not to mention the drug business of the spirit release sect that has made a lot of money” said Gu Yan.
“It turns out our money is more than enough, it can even to buy this south sea coastal city” Shen Long's smile was surprised to know the finances of Sword Hope sect. He had never interfered with finances, he assigned Gu Yan to handle it. And now there was Yun Mei who was going to help him.
“Alright, tonight we leave for auction” said Shen Long who was ready to search for rare items at the auction.
The auction venue is located in the center of the city's south sea coast. The building looks magnificent and very high and there is a very spacious hall in it. The participants of the auction are divided into two places. The public place was in the front hall of the stage where the display of auction items was displayed. While a special place was on the top floor that could see through the entire hall.
Shen Long entered the auction venue with Gu Yan then looked for a seat in the circular hall in front of the stage.
The rich families who come usually sit in a special place on the top floor. Shen Long looked around him, it seemed that people had been crowded inside the hall because the auction was about to start.
Fang Yin who saw Shen Long's arrival looked at him with a wary gaze, yet Shen Long did not care much about it.
As Shen Long sat down with Gu Yan, Fang Yin and his two friends came over to him.
“Master Shen Long right?” greet Fang Yin
“Iya. Miss Fang, what's wrong?” shen Long asked turned his head towards Fang Yin.
“Because you're new, come with me. There is something I want to tell you about the rules of this auction” Fang Yin said
Shen Long then stood up and walked after him, while Shen Long told Gu Yan to remain seated there.
“Good. We must first ascertain the wealth that master Shen has in order to participate in this auction” Fang Yin said
He and his friends suspected this Shen Long did not have much money to attend the auction, and guessed he would make a fuss in the auction.
“Today I only brought 10jt gold tail. Is enough?” ask Shen Long
“A...What?” the eyes of the three people were wide in disbelief at hearing Shen Long's words.
They did not expect Shen Long to be so rich. While the richest people in this coastal city at most only have a few hundred thousand gold tail only.
The faces of Fang Yin and his two friends immediately changed upon hearing the amount of money Shen Long had brought.
“Sorry, we did not expect Mr. Shen to be a very rich person.” Fang Yin said feeling nervous.
“If so, let us take Mr. Shen to sit in a special place on the top floor”.
“No need miss. Sitting anywhere is no problem” said Shen Long
“Alright, if master Shen needs anything. Feel free to call us” Fang Yin said back.
“Good. Then for auction rules how?” ask Shen Long back
“For rich families there are no rules that are too rigid. The rules of the auction were the same as at any other auction venue. Each bid only needs to raise their hand and mention the price of” Fang Yin said
“Alright, then I will return to my seat” Shen Long said back
“Please lord Shen” Fang Yin said as he bowed his head.
Shen Long then walked back to his seat and sat down next to Gu Yan.
“Nona Fang, this person is a very large fish.” whispered a friend of Fang Yin
Fang Yin smiled sweetly at the words of his friend. He had already marked Shen Long as an honorable rich man tonight. It should be served as well as possible.
It was time for the auction to open, Miss Fang Yin herself who came as the host of the auction.
“Thank you for the presence of everyone in this auction” Fang Yin said.
“Well, In order not to take too long, we start this auction with the first” item
“This first item is an urn from the former Tang royal dynasty. The starting price for this jar is 1000 gold tail.” he said
“Only a jar can be that expensive?” a rich family shouted from upstairs
“1500” suddenly a hand raised from upstairs.
Shen Long watched the auctioned jar. That thing wasn't very interesting to him. But in the jar there is quite strong energy.
“Chairman, will you bid?” ask Gu Yan
“Although there is energy in that urn, it is useless to me. So I missed it” Shen Long said
“2000” suddenly another upstairs raised a hand.
“Does anyone still want to raise the price?” ask Fang Yin
After counting three times, the jar fell on the man upstairs.
