The auctioneer showed various goods, all extremely valuable.
However, the two just stared at them not interested, they didn't have anyone that they needed to show off to and they would be in the academy for ages so they found no use in the majority of the items.
"This is a pair of twin butterfly hairpins made of ore extracted from Ice Frost Forest rocks!"
"Each of the two twin butterfly hairpins are advanced rank armaments capable defending against attacks below Martial Grandmaster!" The audience did not suspect the words of the auctioneer since Rarity Dew Auction House was known to fully verify the authenticity of their goods before selling.
Although Martial Grandmaster was not extremely strong, but for students in the academy that would mean being practically invincible due to the graduation requirement being Martial Master.
A pair of delicate translucent hairpins with a wing on each lay on a tray covered by a cloth to add suspense and more excitement when it's revealed during the last few bids, when placed together they formed a butterfly.
"Zi Hua, lets get them, we can have one each"
"Okay then" Zi Hua didn't reject her this time since Anqi Feng seemed to like the hairpins very much and it would be awkward for Anqi Feng to buy them if she rejects the gift.
"The starting bid is 1,000 gold" Unlike in Moonlight Continent, this was not valuable enough to be exchanged for other treasures, at least not in this particular branch which was full of influential people who had seen plenty of valuable treasures, it was still within the reach of currency, which made merchants love the city.
"But Zi Hua, if I get that, won't they realize we were in the purple room when we call out" The people here were all students of the academy apart from a few merchants or teachers, it would be rather easy to connect the dots.
"I'll just call the manager then"
To ensure their purple guests privacy, there was an option of having someone else shouting for them in a lower room, the life of luxury.
"Manager, I'll leave this to you then" As expected the manager got the butterfly hairpins for them at the price of 1,900 gold coins.
Anqi Feng handed the money over and then happily left, they weren't worried about other people finding out since the manager had told the auctioneer not to reveal the hairpins' appearance when it was being auctioned as per Zi Hua's request.
"Zi Hua, here's yours" Anqi Feng handed one of the hairpins over to Zi Hua.
"Thank you but it's fine, it's much better to give it to your sister" It would also be too eye catching for her to wear something so expensive looking with her current situation, plus others may try to find trouble with her with the excuse of 'sweeping away a gold digging b*tch'.
"If you insist then" Anqi Feng didn't want to make it hard on Zi Hua seeing that Zi Hua was being so considerate and she realized she may have been a bit insensitive since Zi Hua wouldn't be able to put on accessories by herself since she 'couldn't see'.
"Let's head back now" They had bought something already and it would be unlikely for something else to catch their eyes.
Anqi Feng went to find her sister to give her the hairpin and Zi Hua returned back to the dorms.
For the next few days, nothing much except the usual happened, however Zi Hua was getting increasingly bored with the school days, what they were teaching were stuff that she already knows so she just sits in class, staring into space.
'I'm going to have to put up with this for another year at least' She'll have to 'become' a Martial Master to graduate so she was planning on taking her time with investigating the academy first whilst just being between Anqi Feng and Anqi Qing Shan's cultivation progress but it may take longer than she had planned, at least seem longer with how boring life was.
Though she has to rise to Martial Master within three years to guarantee her entrance to a top family since the scholarships only lasts for three years and if they don't graduate by then they will be kicked out and deemed as a failure for not meeting the requirements despite being given the opportunities.
