Chapter 28 Still Discovered by Ya Fei.
"Oh." Xiao Se gave a very calm answer.
"Aren't you shocked? This is a second-grade elixir that can help fighters break through quickly and has no side effects." Xiao Ning said in surprise.
"We are shocked, but this spiritual liquid is still too far away from us. Not to mention the price, even if we get it, we are still in the stage of cultivating a fighting spirit and cannot use it. Instead of pursuing this illusory elixir, we might as well work hard to cultivate and break through to the fighting level as soon as possible." Xiao Se said lightly.
The three elders of the Xiao family who were sitting in front of the two of them looked at each other, and nodded in unison, agreeing with Xiao Se's words.
The Great Elder said to Xiao Ning earnestly, "Ning'er, Xiao Se is right. You should go back to practice after the auction is over. Even if our Xiao family buys the Essence-Nourishing Spiritual Liquid today, it will only be given to high-level fighters in the family and direct descendants of great contributors to strengthen the backbone of the family."
"I understand, Grandpa." Perhaps he would turn a deaf ear to Xiao Se's words, but since his grandfather was the eldest elder of the Xiao family, he would never dare to disobey.
Seeing Xiao Ning's depressed look, Xiao Se smiled helplessly and stopped discussing the issue of the Peiyuan Spirit Liquid with him. His eyes suddenly moved to a place not far away and found that people from the Gale family and the Obapa family were also invited to enter the auction room.
Among the crowd belonging to the Gale family, Xiao Se suddenly felt a gaze filled with coldness and resentment. Looking closely, he found that it was Galeo, whom he had castrated in Fangshi more than a month ago.
At this time, Galeo was scanning the Xiao family. When he didn't find the target he was looking for, he was about to retract his gaze, but when he scanned Xiao Se, he happened to look at him. He immediately smiled coldly, and his lips moved slightly as if to say: "Little bastard of the Xiao family, don't fall into my hands, otherwise hehe..."
He stared at Galeo with slightly narrowed eyes, Xiao Se smiled faintly, and a cold light flashed in his lowered eyes.
Xiao Se casually retracted the cold light. He had no intention of fighting with Galeo. It was obvious that if the other party touched him, he would never let him go.
After simply practicing a few grappling techniques of "controlling the crane and capturing the dragon", he turned his attention to the auction table.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ya Fei, wearing a red cheongsam, walked elegantly onto the auction stage. Her curvy and exquisite figure wrapped in the slightly tight cheongsam caught the eyes of almost everyone in the venue.
Even Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family, is no exception.
Noticing Xiao Zhan's fiery gaze, Xiao Se curled the corners of his mouth, secretly cursing him for being old-fashioned, then retracted his gaze and continued to practice the grappling method of controlling the crane and capturing the dragon, which he had searched from Tang San's storage belt.
Xiao Se made a rough estimate and concluded that in terms of power, it might not be that great and could only be used against some fighters of the same level. Moreover, its effect would be minimal against a great fighter. However, in terms of sophistication, it was still acceptable and was no worse than some low-level Xuan-level fighting skills.
If used well, it might be able to dissolve some intermediate or even advanced Xuan-level close combat skills.
With her seductive red lips slightly parted, Ya Fei said a few words to the audience with a charming smile on her pretty face. Her soft and delicate voice, as well as her curvaceous body that made people feel hot and eager, ignited the atmosphere of the whole audience in an instant.
Looking at the venue which suddenly became hot, Ya Fei felt a hint of pride in her heart. After more than a month of adapting, she already clearly understood how attractive her beauty was to men. Her red lips slightly raised, and her beautiful eyes silently glanced around the audience without leaving a trace. When her gaze swept over the young man sitting behind the three elders of the Xiao family, she was slightly stunned for a moment.
However, the boy, who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, did not look at her but lowered his head to look below. Yafei realized that her beauty seemed to be ignored. She frowned slightly and then relaxed her brows.
Without leaving any trace, Ya Fei's eyes moved away from Xiao Se. She parted her seductive red lips, raised her jade hand to the hammer, and lightly hammered the table. She said with a smile, "Everyone, I now declare that the auction is officially open. Our first auction item is the one you've all been waiting for, the Essence Nourishing Spiritual Liquid."
As she spoke, she raised her jade hand, and a maid walked up to the auction table carrying a silver tray with a jade bottle on it.
With Ya Fei's flattery, the price of Pei Yuan Ling Ye kept rising, especially those bottles of flawless quality, which were sold at a sky-high price of nearly 100,000.
The ten bottles of nourishing elixir were sold out, and the following auction items seemed a bit boring. Ornaments like necklaces and hairpins were something that only young men who were blinded by desire would buy.
The atmosphere gradually became less tense, and Xiao Se no longer had the heart to practice. He simply waited silently for the auction to end, and then went to collect the auction proceeds, as well as the purchased supplies and medicinal materials.
"Xiao Se, it's so boring. After the auction of the Peiyuan Spirit Liquid, nothing is interesting anymore. If it weren't for the beautiful Miss Yafei on the stage, I think the auction would not be able to go on." Beside him, Xiao Ning crossed his legs and suddenly said dissatisfiedly.
Xiao Se nodded slightly, stroked the magic sword pattern on his right sleeve, and said lightly: "Indeed."
Xiao Ning looked at Ya Fei on the stage, then glanced at Xiao Se, and asked hesitantly: "Xiao Se, you are not uninterested in women, are you? You don't even look at such a beautiful woman on the stage, but you are so interested in your own hands. If I didn't have Xun Er in my heart, I would be moved. Wait, what is this pattern..."
Xiao Ning grabbed Xiao Se's right hand, rolled up his sleeves, and exclaimed, "Wow, what a handsome sword tattoo. Xiao Se, where did you get it? I want one too."
Although Xiao Ning's voice was not loud, his behavior was too strange and soon attracted the attention of Yafei on the stage.
Looking at the familiar pattern on Xiao Se's white wrist, Ya Fei was slightly startled. Could this little guy be Master Pu?
Thinking of this, Ya Fei compared the figures of Master Pu in her memory with those of Xiao Se. If they were both wearing black robes, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were carved from the same mold.
Xiao Se naturally noticed Ya Fei's gaze. He recalled his interactions with Ya Fei in his mind. Every time he interacted with Ya Fei, he wore standard gloves and seemed to have never been exposed.
Wait, when I took the gold card from her yesterday, it seemed to be exposed a little. Could it be that she discovered it at that time?
Thinking of this, Xiao Se cursed himself for being careless in his heart, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that this goblin discovered his identity.
