Chapter 153 Return of the property to its original owner
"If Bai Ke wakes up early, tell her that I will bring the things back for her! So don't take the risk of going to the auction city! Just wait for my good news here!"
[Little ghost! ! Do you know what you are talking about? ! I just thought you were thoughtful, but why are you so stupid now! You are stealing things in the underground auction city! It is not easy for you to get the witch pill! Don't make trouble for yourself! ! Are all the psychics nowadays so ignorant? !
Hey! Did you hear me? Just let that girl find the things herself! 】
"Stop making so much noise! You still don't agree to make a contract with me! And you still have so many demands!"
When no one spoke, Ye Lianxi, who heard what Cang Shu said, actually blurted out the answer. When she realized that these people didn't know the existence of Cang Shu, she looked at Ji Tianming and others with confused expressions, slowly lowered her head, pretended to cough a few times, and turned to Ji Tianming and said.
"Uh! Then... then what!
Time waits for no one! Get ready and let’s go!”
……
The three people appeared at the entrance of the underground auction city again. Except for Ji Tianming, Ye Lianxi and Mu Ye were in a state of ups and downs. After all, not long ago, they both had been chased and fled here in a panic.
However, this time, Ye Lianxi felt confident because she was standing here behind Ji Tianming as a guest.
"I never thought that the princess was the one who caused a commotion in the dungeon yesterday! But I was there at the time! I didn't even notice it! Instead, I met the Dark Chief!"
Thinking of the battle in which he was beaten back by Qing Liu, Mu Ye gritted his teeth and felt so angry that his teeth were itching.
"Okay! Stop talking!"
Ji Tianming coldly stopped Mu Ye from saying anything about that person. Looking at Ye Lianxi's expression, he felt a little uneasy. She really didn't remember him, but would she still remember that person?
"Lianxi! Wear a mask before you go in! To avoid getting into trouble again."
Because Ye Lianxi and Mu Ye had just caused a big commotion here, Ji Tianming bought two masks for them as soon as they came out of Ouyang Mansion. Wearing masks in the underground auction city was originally a common thing.
She originally wanted to correct the inexplicable title of "Princess" from Mu Ye, but when she took the fox mask handed over by Ji Tianming, she suddenly felt dazed.
"Fox's?"
"Lian Xi, you... don't like it?"
When Ji Tianming noticed the shaking of Ye Lianxi's brown pupils, his heart suddenly tightened.
Did she remember something?
With a slight frown, Ye Lianxi took the fox mask in her hand and put it on her face.
"Well...it's not that I don't like it, but I just saw so many beautiful and low-key masks on the street stalls, why did you choose this one?"
Her question was so unexpected that Ji Tianming was speechless for a moment.
"This... I, I just picked it up."
Wearing a yellow fox mask, revealing only a pair of lively eyes and a thin chin, Ye Lianxi's mouth curled up into a smile.
"Oh!... Then your aesthetic taste still has a lot of room for improvement!"
……
Unlike the first auction outside the water prison, where one only needs to pay an intermediate spirit stone to enter, the last auction of the Yancheng underground auction house requires a special invitation to participate.
Ji Tianming had an invitation, which was why Ye Lianxi chose to come here with him. Although she didn't know at the time that he was the Human Emperor, Ye Lianxi was sure that he had a noble status.
The invitation was a rare item that the auction house had arranged several months ago based on the financial strength of potential buyers. Only ninety-six copies were distributed throughout the continent. Because the items in the last auction were extremely valuable, the auction house had to minimize the possibility of defaulting.
And tonight, not only the level of the auction items has been upgraded, the auction venue has also become more luxurious and spectacular.
Holding the booklet with various auction items in hand, Ye Lianxi, who had seen the forbidden tombs of Lingsuyuan, was also stunned by the scale. Although he was underground, the circular stand built for bidders was nearly 100 meters high. The entire stand was covered with gold foil and inlaid with various gems. It was dazzling after just a few seconds of staring.
There are twelve floors in total of the stands, each of which is separated by a vermilion-painted iron wall and divided into eight exquisite rooms of the same size. Next to each room is a narrow corridor leading directly to the twelfth floor to ensure that bidders on the same floor do not have to meet each other.
When Ye Lianxi and the other two entered, the twelfth-floor stands were already crowded with people. However, most of them were wearing masks, and there were thick bead curtains outside the rooms blocking the view, so their faces could not be seen clearly, and only their body shapes were roughly known.
Like other bidders, she was led to numbered rooms by beautiful women in saris.
Walking all the way to the twelfth floor, Ye Lianxi and others finally stopped outside a room with the number "eight" carved out of gold.
"We have arrived at the place. The Ninth Young Master has instructed that the distinguished guest should express his gratitude if the hospitality has been negligent."
The smaller the number of the room, the more financially the owner is recognized by the auction house. Perhaps because it is the highest level, even the graceful beauty leading the way is more humble, keeping her head down, and only slowly retreated after Ji Tianming waved his hand.
"Hey! You seem to be very familiar with this place! Did you buy the Sunflower Blood Ring here too?"
Seeing Ji Tianming walk into the other room very naturally and sit down to drink tea, Ye Lianxi couldn't help but feel curious about him again.
In Ouyang Mansion, he claimed to be Ouyang Xun's subordinate, but he was much more majestic than his submissive superior. He had an invitation to the underground auction house, which symbolized his noble status. Several times, Ye Lianxi heard Mu Ye beside him call him His Majesty. How could such a person who didn't seem to be short of money want the jade ring that had been broken into several pieces?
Until now, Ye Lianxi still believed that the pawnshop owner was dishonest and sold the jade ring.
"Queen! That Sunflower Jade Blood Ring has always been a treasure of our royal family! How can it be bought in a place like this?"
In response to Ye Lianxi's questioning of Ji Tianming, Mu Ye immediately refuted it.
However, he was bullied by both sides.
"I've told you so many times! I'm not the queen!
The jade ring belonged to my master. It was with me not long ago! How could it be yours? You bought it and spent money on repairing it. I will find a way to return it to you in the future! Why do you have to lie to me? "
"Mu! Ye! Lianxi is right! I am returning the Kuiyu Blood Ring to its original owner!
Also, don’t call her the queen in front of her anymore, Lianxi doesn’t like it.”
Ji Tianming's voice sounded softly, with a hint of magnetism. His sudden cold look made Mu Ye's back go cold, and he immediately shut his mouth timidly.
In Mu Ye's eyes, this Sunflower Jade Blood Ring is a treasure, but to Ji Tianming, it is just an item that he had given to Ye Lianxi a long time ago. Not to mention this item, he even wished he could give himself to her as well.
