Chapter 24 Auction
Three days have passed since the banquet.
Li Ming has been living in seclusion these days. Instead of going out to play, he is practicing hard, as if everything has nothing to do with him.
And the Lin family didn't come to the door.
He must have suffered a loss.
After all, they were the ones who were unreasonable in the first place and were severely punished by the Qin family, so naturally they would not tell the truth.
The Qin family usually entertained him with good wine and meat. He only needed to practice quietly, so he was free.
"Master Li, someone is looking for you."
The maid's voice sounded outside the door.
"Here we come." Li Ming walked out.
An old servant with a familiar face stood in the yard. Zhou Lin, the old housekeeper of the Qin family, was responsible for arranging his life these days.
Apparently he has been waiting for a long time.
Li Ming stepped forward and asked, "Steward Zhou, what's the matter?"
Zhou Lin bowed his hands and said with a smile: "Sorry to bother Mr. Li. Miss, please come over for a while."
Li Ming was stunned when he heard this. He had been living in seclusion these days.
No one bothered him, so he was quite at ease.
Qin Yun didn't bring up the idea of recruiting him after the banquet, which surprised him but at the same time he thought he was a good person.
What are you looking for him for this time?
Li Ming looked down at his wrinkled clothes and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes."
"Okay, I'll wait for you here."
Butler Zhou didn't show any impatience.
Li Ming returned to the room and changed into a clean white shirt. Matching his face and temperament, he looked like a young swordsman from a poem or painting.
It's just that this swordsman carries a sword behind his back, but there is a knife on his waist.
The sword was picked up from the blood bandit before, and the knife was Feiyun Dao.
Walk out the door.
Butler Zhou sent Li Ming all the way to the courtyard, stopped and said respectfully: "Mr. Li, please, the lady is in front."
A melodious whistle came from the courtyard, and the long and distant sound spread in Li Ming's ears.
Did Qin Yun hire the musicians?
Li Ming had doubts in his heart and walked to the yard.
Qin Yun turned sideways to the door, holding the flute and concentrating on playing it. He was wearing a slightly bright pink dress with small water-color flowers embroidered on it. The skirt was densely covered, and the two layers of water gauze on the inside and outside bloomed with the breeze.
Hearing Li Ming's footsteps, Qin Yun's eyes met each other, revealing a delicate face with a touch of makeup. Just looking at her small and round face, he felt like a young girl, very beautiful.
But her proud figure also shows the mature charm of a young woman.
Although Li Ming had seen many pictures on the Internet in his previous life, it was difficult to see such amorous feelings in reality.
But after going through so much, he doesn't look like a dog licker.
"I just realized that Miss Qin can play the flute." Li Ming calmed down and said seriously.
Xiao Hao, a versatile girl.
Popular everywhere.
Qin Yun noticed where Li Ming's eyes were focused and felt a little shy, thinking that he was indeed pretty.
“It’s not worth mentioning that it’s useful for relieving stress if you have nothing to learn in your spare time.”
Li Ming joked: "I'm just a rough guy, but I can tell that Miss Qin's accomplishments are profound. If this is not worth mentioning, how many happy people will be unemployed?"
Qin Yun smiled and did not continue to expand on this topic, but revealed the theme this time: "It is good for Mr. Li to practice martial arts diligently, but it is also time to relax. There is an auction held in the city. Including valuable martial arts treasures, martial arts techniques, etc.”
"I wonder if Young Master Li is willing to go with me?"
Qin Yun's invitation this time was also a sudden one. She was quite upset by the recent difficulties caused by some elders in the clan. She originally planned to go to this auction alone to relax.
However, she recognized Li Ming's performance at that banquet. If Li Ming was just a person with a false reputation and a lust for beauty, she would not be too close to him.
The eldest lady of the Qin family will not be reduced to seducing others with her beauty.
Li Ming's eyes flickered, picking up...no...auction?
According to his many years of experience, the protagonist will go to an auction and encounter a big treasure that no one cares about and then miss it. Finally, he will be attacked by someone when he goes out.
I wonder if he will be attacked?
"Participate, naturally participate!"
Seeing Li Ming was a little inexplicably excited.
Although Qin Yun was puzzled, he just thought it was Li Ming who was practicing silently. He was so depressed that he didn't think much and took Li Ming to the carriage.
The auction will be held in the lobby on the fourth floor of Xiaoyao Restaurant in the city.
Although it is not a big auction, it still attracts many people to participate. Since the organizer often holds such small auctions, it has a good reputation, and many casual warriors will come to buy and sell things.
When Li Ming and Qin Yun arrived at Xiaoyao Restaurant.
I saw a row of warriors standing at the door of the restaurant with swords on their waists. They were all wearing blue slim-fitting clothes. Each of them was a warrior who had trained his body to the Qi training stage as a guard.
Seeing Li Ming walking towards the gate, one of the disciples walked up, cupped his fist at him and said, "Are you here to participate in the auction?"
"Yes." Li Ming said calmly.
"Please show the invitation token for the auction, or pay ten taels of silver as a guarantee. When the auction is over, the full amount will be returned." The disciple in charge explained.
"In order to prevent too many irrelevant people from joining in the fun, please forgive me."
Apart from anything else, the disciple in charge still had some energy in his eyes. Seeing that Li Ming's appearance was extraordinary, his bearing was graceful, and his cultivation and energy were far above him, he seemed very polite.
But the process still has to go.
Just when Li Ming was about to take out the money.
Qin Yun, who was standing behind him, stepped forward and took out a token: "Sir, can you come with me?"
The responsible disciple took the token, looked up, and immediately bowed and said: "It turns out that you are the eldest lady of the Qin family. Of course, you two can come in."
Then he gave up his position and stopped blocking.
Li Ming paused and asked: "If you want to sell a few martial arts secrets, will you accept them?"
"Yes, the manager is in the black room at the corner, just find him."
"Yes, thank you."
Li Ming nodded, then turned to Qin Yun and said: "Miss Qin, I'm going to sell some things, you go first, I'll be there soon."
"Okay."
Qin Yun didn't say much, and went to the lobby on the fourth floor first.
Li Ming took a detour and went to the manager's room and knocked on the door a few times.
A middle-aged male voice came from inside.
"Come in."
Li Ming walked forward. A muscular middle-aged man was sitting on a chair, looking through some information, with four guards standing behind him.
"What's the matter?" The middle-aged man glanced at Li Ming casually.
Li Ming didn't waste any words. He took out a few secret books and placed them in front of the middle-aged man.
"Here are some secret books. Do you want to take them?"
"Oh?"
The middle-aged man didn't ask where the secret books came from. Instead, he took them and opened a few secret books. He glanced at them and nodded: "Three of them are martial arts at the level of Condensation, and one only has the cultivation method of Qi training."
"But only one is relatively rare. The other three are martial arts that are widely circulated. They may not be worth much."
Li Ming nodded: "Take the rare one to auction. Do you want to take the other three?"
The martial arts obtained by these bandits are naturally not profound things.
Although martial arts skills are generally not widely spread, some things will naturally spread out over time.
Some unique martial arts are hidden deep, so the price is naturally high.
Some martial arts are depreciated because too many people learn them.
It is very common in the lower three grades of martial arts.
And when it comes to the master's martial arts, and even the martial arts of the martial god, they are basically monopolized.
Some are almost incomplete, or they are prepared for fishing.
The middle-aged man looked at Li Ming, and before he spoke, a disciple next to him whispered some information.
After thinking for a while, the middle-aged man said: "How about this, this rare book will be temporarily auctioned, and the remaining three secret books will be taken together for 1,200 taels."
"Is it okay?"
Li Ming thought about it and agreed.
1,200 taels is not a small amount.
He took the silver note and turned to leave.
Before coming here, he also talked to Qin Yun about the market price of these aspects, and it was not much different.
It seems that the other party recognized him and did not deliberately offer a low price.
Li Ming stepped into the hall on the fourth floor and saw armchairs placed in the hall, about a hundred of them, and each chair was separated from the front, back, left and right.
Many warriors wore masks and black robes to hide their identities.
Although the organizer has a good reputation.
But the participants came from all over the place, so it is inevitable that some people would have some thoughts.
Li Ming was looking for Qin Yun's position. Fortunately, her figure was still prominent. After a while.
Li Ming walked towards a position in the front.
Seeing that the seat next to her was empty.
It turned out that Qin Yun had reserved a seat for him early.
