They came out from the restaurant and walked towards the Zhucai Pavilion, where the Auction is held!
Strolling around on the streets, they can see that there are many people rushing in and out, as there is only one week left for the auction.
It is like a seasonal festives where people come and trade.
Hearing the noises of crowds from the streets, "No, Boss can you make a little cheaper?"
"No, buy it or leave it!"
These kinds of arguements can be seen everywhere around the city streets.
One selling, one buying, such a grandeur.
.....
Zhucai pavilion
In the attic room,
There sat an old man in middle with two youngsters standing behind him.
The other ten managers sat opposite to each other facing and adjacent to the old man in middle.
It was a round table!
The atmosphere in the room looked heavy. None of them want to start speaking first. They either sat closing their eyes or looking at ceiling or counting their hands acting stupidly.
The old man noticed this scene and scolded, "Enough, stop acting. You are all grown ups and are all in important positions. How long are you gonna act like a kid? Grow up, you damn old fools!"
The ten managers looked at each other, laughed and sighed.
Drinking a sip of tea, the old man asked: "So any news regarding the treasures?" Scanning around with his eyes, he looked at each facial expression of these managers.
One of them got up and greeted politely, "Greetings Senior! Even though we got many people selling their treasures for auction, no one was able to meet the standard! Their treasures were all of same grade. Only few were rare."
They can only sigh. And looked at Tuo Sha. Noticing their gaze, he greeted politely.
"Only one more week left! We have lots of preparation to do. Anyway, if there are no treasures, we can put the materials from our pavilion for auction!" The old man decisively said.
"Knock, knock" The door is knocked.
They all frowned. It is an important meeting, who dare to disturb them.
"Come in!" The old man invited.
An old guard came in and greeted, "Old seniors, there seems to be an old man with his group, saying that he wants to sell the treasures that are unique!"
"WHAT!!!" They all jumped in surprise from their seat.
Even the two youngsters could not help but peek their ears and open their eyes wide.
They all looked at each other for sometime.
The old guard is confused by their sudden behavior, "Old seniors, should I send him off?" He scratched his head thinking it was necessary to do so.
They all came into their senses, "No, No, No." They all said in unison.
"Let us go and meet him! Old Ao, do lead the way." Fearing that the guests might leave if they make him wait, they all hurried.
....
In the VIP room of Zhucai pavilion, the quartet looked at the furnished table, cushion. It seemed luxurious.
When he came at the entrance, the guards stopped him from entering and asking: "Selling or buying?"
He was stunned by their question and he simply said selling.
Who knew that this would alert the old guard and asked Xin if he could see the items.
Seeing that the items are of value, he asked him to wait politely and hurriedly ran to the meeting room.
These actions were weird. He could not help but sigh wondering if it was a bad or good entering the pavilion.
The door is opened and thirteen people came in.
The quartet stood up, and greeted them politely.
They looked at each other, glancing, scanning with their eyes and senses. One must be careful when trading otherwise who knows what kind of scheme will be there behind.
Staring silently for few minutes made them uneasy. The old man said, "Old master, no need to be cautious! So what kind of items are you selling?"
Him breaking the silence made their heart a bit better.
Xin looked at him with squinted eyes, and took out several items from the Space Bracelet. From talisman to painting.
Two kinds of items with each nearly a hundred stacked neatly in an orderly manner in each of their sections.
As for talisman it is only one set, and for painting there is three sets.
He then picked up the cup of tea and sipped saying, "They are talisman and different kinds of painting."
Looking at their dumbfounded expression, he continued: "For example, the "回春" talisman here can give bring him back to life even he has one breathe left."
He took a pause checking each of their expressions continuing: "As for the painting, there are one layered, two layered and three layered, which contains a painting with an painting an painting."
Finished with his explanation, the old man and his group looked at each other and did not know what to say. They all looked at him with their mouths open wide.
"What are you all looking at and sitting silly? If you are not satisfied, we will go somewhere else!" The Fatty Jin who was feeling uneasy for quite sometime now and his dissatisfaction had been piled up too much. Releasing his temper, he felt somewhat satisfied.
"No, No, No! We are all just shocked by your items. We do not know how to sell these paintings and talismans in the auction house. It is not that we don't belive it. If the customers don't belive it we won't be able to auction it. As for painting and calligraphy, we can sell it at the auction having no problem without it." The old man said these sentences in one breathe fearing that they might leave being unhappy.
Xin heard his words, looked at him and smiled, "No problem, you can use two talisman for confirming. One in here and one in the auction, so that people will believe and willing to buy."
He knows that the people in this world are greedy and would kill it for treasure. So he might be put at risks.
Sipping his tea, he finally warned: "I only have one request."
The old man replied, "Please do say."
Xin looked at all of them and said with heavy bloodlusts, "That is no matter what the circumstances are, you must not put these items in the auction lists as per their names. I request you to change it as mysterious and unique set of treasures."
Waring them again with fear, "And also please do take an Heaven and Earth oath that you will neither say knowingly or unknowingly. If you do, you will die by struck by lightning and die without reincarnation."
