Chapter 10: The Auction House

  Chapter Ten Auction Scene

  "Alright, since that's how it is, I won't try to persuade you anymore. You've had your own ideas since the last time you gained insight, and I won't change you now," said the Second Master of Cangshan with a smile.

  "Thank you, Uncle," said the demon king immediately.

  "Ah, yes! Your 'Shooting Eagle Hero' novel has been a huge success, and it's in high demand everywhere. This is just the initial profit, totaling 40,000 taels of silver, which belongs to you. Later on, this book will still be in short supply, and there will be countless benefits to come. With this book, you won't have to worry about anything anymore." Second Master Cangshan took out a shiny silver note and said.

  "Oh, great!" The demon king excitedly accepted the silver note, 40,000 taels. This was much easier than making money as an assassin in his past life. No wonder piracy was so rampant back then. However, he wasn't a pirate now, but an original creator.

  "It's getting late now, I'm going." said the Second Master Cangshan, looking up at the sky.

  "Huh? It's still early, can't you have dinner before going back, Uncle?" said Yao Jiao.

  "No, we have an auction to attend soon, it's almost time," said the Second Master of Cangshan.

  "Auction?" The demon's interest was piqued at once.

  "Ah, the largest auction house in the Great Zhou Kingdom, the Great Zhou Auction House, is a department of the imperial court, where they specialize in handling auctions, and provide a platform for the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom to sell their goods." Second Master Cangshan said.

  "What? The Great Zhou Empire has such a department? Like the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Punishment, and Ministry of War?" The demon's head was full of question marks, only now realizing that he knew too little about the Great Zhou Empire.

  "Not bad, every Monday opening, this time, I heard that something good has arrived, so I'll go take a look, won't accompany you." Second Master Cangshan smiled.

  "Can I go take a look too, Uncle?" the demon horn said immediately. With 40,000 taels of silver in his waist, and an additional 30,000 taels saved up at Cangyun Medicine Shop, plus the 10,000 taels he just made from Xiake Tavern, now he was a rich man with 80,000 taels. Having money, he naturally wanted to go take a look.

  "Who?" The Second Heavenly Venerable looked at Yao Jiao with a puzzled expression.

  "What's with the age restriction at the Grand Auction House? It says minors are not allowed to enter?" asked Yao Jiao in a strange tone.

  "This, this is nothing, as long as you have money, that place will always be open for you." The Second Master of Cangshan smiled and said.

  "That's alright then, Great Aunt, I'll go with you," said Ya Jiao.

  "Alright, anyway you'll have to go there in the future, let's go together now and get familiar with it." The Second Master of Cangshan smiled.

  "Alright, wait for a moment," said the demon king.

  "Huh?" The Second Mount Tianya said strangely.

  The demon king rushed into his bedroom and took out all his private savings, regardless of whether he needed them or not, just in case.

  "Alright, let's go." The demon king said with a smile as he stepped out.

  "Walked" The second Cangshan didn't ask much, no need.

  Out of the backyard, the Second Master has his own carriage.

  Originally, it was just the Second Heavenly Mountain's one person sitting there, but now, Yao Jiao naturally also squeezed in.

  The coachman's driving skills were still pretty good, and he drove steadily for half an hour before stopping.

  Here is located in the south of the city, as soon as the horse carriage stopped, the Second Cangshan went down first.

  "Brother Cangshan, it's been a long time!" a bright and clear voice said.

  "Brother Cangshan is late today!" another person laughed.

  "Wu Wangzi, Xiangru brother, long time no see." The second Mount Cangshan replied on horseback.

  "Brother Cangshan has already told you everything, don't call me Wangzi, just call me Huaiyu." a man said immediately.

  "Alright, Brother Waiyu, I'll be more careful next time," said the Second Master Cangshan.

  At this time, the demon horn finally came out of the carriage. As soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw two men in front of the second Cangshan. One had a handsome face and wore white Confucian clothes, with a elegant demeanor. The other was dressed in purple robes, looking very majestic.

  "Oh? Who is this?" The man in purple robes smiled and looked at Yao Jiao.

  "Yao Jiao, this is the third prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Zi Huai Yu, this is one of the four great clans of the Great Zhou Kingdom, the Sima family's Sima Xiangru. From now on, just call them Uncle Huaiyu and Uncle Xiangru." The second Cangshan introduced.

  The third generation of princes, the demon king naturally knew that the first generation of the Great Zhou imperial family was called the emperor, just one. The second generation is called the crown prince, of course, many princes have already been enfeoffed as kings, and their sons are the third-generation princes. As for another Sima Xiangru, it really made the demon king sweat a bit.

  "Have seen Master Wai Yu, have seen Master Xiang Ru" The demon king had no choice but to shout.

  "This is the nephew I mentioned last time, the second demon king." The Second Cyan Mountain introduced.

  "Yao Jiao? Is he Yao Jiao?" Sima Xiangru suddenly exclaimed.

  Zi Huaiyu looked at Sima Xiangru with a puzzled expression.

  "What's wrong? What business is it of yours, nephew of Cangshan?" Zi Huaiyu asked in puzzlement.

  "I'm telling you, nephew, look at that Nine Yin Manual, it's a top-notch martial art. I'll find another skill to exchange with you for the Nine Yin White Bone Claw. How about it? You won't lose out," Sima Xiangru said immediately.

  At this time, Zihua Yu obviously hadn't seen Shekou before, so he was confused, while the Second Cangshan couldn't help but laugh. Only Yaojiao was speechless with a puzzled expression on his face.

  "Xiangru brother, even if you're obsessed with the claw technique, there's no need to ask Cangshan's nephew for it. Can't you just ask Cangshan himself? But what exactly is this claw technique that has gotten you so worked up?" Zi Huaiyu asked strangely.

  "Haha" The Second Young Master of Cangshan burst out laughing on the side.

  "You're really ignorant, you don't even know the Nine Yin Manual?" Sima Xiangru cast a disdainful glance at Zi Huaiyu.

  This gaze really provoked Zihua Yu, although they are friends, there's no need to tear each other down like this.

  "This, the Nine Yin Manual, was something I fabricated." The demon king could only say this.

  "How is that possible?" Sima Xiangru asked incredulously, then looked at the Second Mount Tian. The Second Mount Tian nodded in response.

  "Impossible! How can you fabricate such a thing? You're still so young!" Sima Xiangru said with a bitter expression.

  "Eleventh" Second Cangshan mouthed a blow.

  "Alas," sighed Sima Xiangru, shaking his head.

  "What is this Nine Yin Manual?" Zi Huaiyu looked at Sima Xiangru with a puzzled expression, as if he was the only one who didn't know.

  "Well, you go back and take a look at 'The Legend of the Condor Hero' first, I'm too lazy to say it." Sima Xiangru said with a shake of his head.

  Yao Jiao and the Second Cyan Mountain are indeed smiling at each other. Then, Zi Huai Yu could only bury the doubts of this moment in her heart, and she must find someone to ask about it when she goes back tonight.

  "Let's go in and talk," Zi Huaiyu said.

  Everyone nodded in agreement. The carriage had its own attendants who drove it to a designated parking area.

  Before my eyes, it is indeed a magnificent and grand palace. The outer perimeter is huge, reaching hundreds of meters in length and width, and fifty meters high, which was the height of ten or more floors in the previous life. Is this ancient times? The level of architecture is so high?

  One after another, many people entered it. The demon horn also followed the three into it.

  As I went in, what I saw was a large hall.

  "Alright, get a certificate for Ya Jiao, and from now on, he can participate in the auction himself," said the Second Cangshan.

  "Unlikely, participating in the auction? When did your second family become so open-minded? A fourth-generation descendant can also bring a lot of wealth? The prices here are astronomical!" Zi Huaiyu said in surprise.

  "Huh? Xiao Fang is a young master, don't underestimate him." The Second Cyan Mountain said with a smile.

  Simma Xiangru nodded and said: "Not bad, relying on the sales of 'Shooting Eagle Hero' in various places, it should be barely enough to auction here."

  Zi Huaiyu became even more depressed, making up her mind that when she returned, she would first find She Diao to take a look before doing anything else.
