Chapter 23:- Jealousy comes and fierce competition begins!
==========[]====[]====[]===========
Miteer(Primer)Auction House.
[A/N:- miteer family also called as primer clan.. It's already mentioned in Web novel.]
This is the largest auction venue in Wutan City and belongs to the Miteer family, one of the three major families in the Jiama Empire.
The three major families/clan in the Jiama Empire are the Miteer family, the Nalan family and the Mu family.
The three major families are involved in all aspects of the Jia Ma Empire's military and business circles, and can be described as deep-rooted giants.
Among them, the Miteer family is the richest family and has inextricable ties with the royal family of the Jiama Empire.
Therefore, with the Miteer family as the backstage, even if the profits from the Auction House's were terrifying, no one would dare to take their chances.
"Welcome Master Xiao Fan and Miss Xiao Xun'er!"
Xiao Fan and Xiao Xun'er are also celebrities in Wutan City. As soon as they arrived at the gate of Miteer Auction House, the guard at the door quickly greeted them respectfully. .
Xiao Fan nodded slightly at the guard, and then walked into the auction Hall side by side with Xiao Xun'er.
Under the leadership of a maid, Xiao Fan and Xiao Xun'er quickly entered the VIP seats in the front row of the auction venue.
"Fan'er, Xun'er, you're here too." The two of them had just followed the maid to the front row when they heard a familiar voice.
Just by listening to the voice, Xiao Fan knew that the person who made the voice was his father in this life, Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family/clan.
Xiao Xun'er naturally recognized Xiao Zhan.
"Dad (Uncle Xiao)", the two of them greeted Xiao Zhan at the same time.
Then, Xiao Fan pulled Xiao Xun'er and sat on Xiao Zhan's side.
"Haha, this must be the nephew Xiao Fan, the third young master of the Xiao family(clan). He is indeed a talented person!" Xiao Fan had just sat down, and on the other side of Xiao Zhan, a middle-aged man said with a smile.
Xiao Zhan said to Xiao Fan and Xiao Xun'er, "This is AO Ba Pa, the patriarch of the AO BA family."
Xiao Fan smiled slightly, "Thank you very much, Clan leader Ao ba, for the compliment."
Ao ba pa smiled and said nothing more. .
As time went by, there were more and more guests in the auction house.
Under the lights in the center of the auction room, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure wearing a red dress arrived.
If nothing else, this woman must be the Head Auctioner of the Miteer family. She is indeed a fairy-like person!
Xiao Fan looked at the woman and couldn't help but thought to himself.
"Brother Xiao Fan, have you fallen in love with that girl Ya Fei?"
Xiao Fan was looking at Ya Fei, when Xiao Xun'er's breathy voice suddenly came to his ears, and there was obviously a strong sour feeling in the voice.
When Xiao Fan heard this, he looked away, gently scratched Xiao Xun'er's nose, and said with a smile: "What? Sister Xun'er is jealous?"
"Huh, I won't be jealous." Xiao Xun'er snorted and turned away. Said stiffly.
When Xiao Fan saw this, he couldn't help but laugh.
At this time, Ye Fei in the middle of the auction venue naturally noticed Xiao Fan and Xiao Xun'er.
When she saw Xiao Fan looking at her, his eyes were very clear and there was no obsession like that of other men. Ya Fei couldn't help but feel a little fond of him.
Seeing Xiao Fan and Xiao Xun'er playing around, Ya Fei shook her head in amusement.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ya Fei lightly opened her red lips and made a sweet voice that made everyone's bones feel numb,
"Welcome all distinguished guests to participate in this auction. I believe everyone knows the rules of the auction, So Without wasting everyone's precious time, the auction has officially begun."
Next, under the auspices of Ya Fei, the atmosphere in the auction venue soon became high.
Each auction item was frantically scrambled for.
However, Xiao Fan didn't find anything interesting for the time being, so he didn't join the bidding.
Not far away, Xiao Zhan and Ao Ba pa were also sitting on their chairs as steady as a rock, with no intention of participating in the bidding.
Suddenly, Xiao Fan noticed that at the back of the auction venue, a figure shrouded in black robe slowly entered the venue and found a remote location to sit down.
Um?
Could it be him?
Compared with the original work, it seems to be much earlier.
When Xiao Xun'er saw Xiao Fan looking back, she couldn't help but asked curiously: "Brother Xiao Fan, what's wrong?" Xiao Fan shook his head slightly, "It's nothing, I just seem to have seen an acquaintance, but maybe I made a mistake."
Xun'er didn't think much after hearing this.
"Haha, everyone, the auction house just received a new auction item. I think everyone will be interested."
Just when the figure sat in the corner of the venue, Yafei, who was in the center of the venue, suddenly burst into laughter.
After finishing speaking, Yafei waved her hand, and a maid came forward with a tray. In the tray was a small white jade bottle.
Next, just like in the original work, Yafei introduced to everyone the second-grade elixir Foundation-Building Spiritual Liquid contained in the small white jade bottle.
After Yafei finished her introduction, the auction venue quickly entered into a fierce scramble.
In the end, only Xiao Zhan and Ao bapa were left fighting for each other.
Not long after, the price rose from the initial eight thousand gold coins to thirty-one thousand gold coins!
"Dad, give it to chief Ao ba!"
Just when Xiao Zhan wanted to continue to increase the price, Xiao Fan suddenly stopped him.
Xiao Zhan was slightly startled when he heard this, "You should understand why I want to buy this foundation-building spiritual liquid." Xiao Fan smiled lightly, "Dad, of course I understand, but it is no longer needed." Xiao Zhan frowned slightly Wrinkled, "Are you sure?"
Xiao Fan nodded heavily, "I'm very sure."
After listening to Xiao Fan's words, Xiao Zhan pondered for a moment, and finally said: "I give up, congratulations to Chief Aoba."
AO ba Pa was a little surprised. He glanced back and forth at Xiao Zhan and Xiao Fan for a while, and then smiled and said: "Thank you, Chief Xiao, for giving in."
Yafei in the middle of the venue was a little stunned when she saw this scene, and subconsciously glanced at Xiao Fan a few more times, and then The ownership of the foundation-building spiritual liquid was determined.
In the corner of the venue, Xiao Yan, who was wrapped in a black robe, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.
In the middle of the venue, after confirming the ownership of the foundation-building spiritual liquid, Yafei continued: "The next step is the finale item of this auction."
At this point, Yafei paused slightly and took out an item from the tray. A simple cyan scroll was rolled out, and then he said, "Xuan-level advanced level skill wind swirl !" As soon as the Xuan-level advanced skill came out, the auction venue fell into silence.
Almost everyone was shocked!
In this remote town, Xuan level advanced skills are the top skills!
After the silence, everyone's eyes suddenly became heated when they looked at the ancient scroll.
Yafei was very satisfied with the reaction of everyone present, but she couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she saw Xiao Fan and Xiao Xun'er were indifferent.
Temporarily suppressing her emotions, Yafei began to introduce the technique called Wind swirl to everyone.
"Miss Yafei, please bid quickly!"
After listening to Yafei's introduction, some people in the auction venue couldn't help but urge.
Yafei always maintained a charming smile on her beautiful face, and said with a smile: "Wind Swirl, the lowest auction price is two hundred thousand gold coins!"
Seeing this, Xiao Fan couldn't help but twitch his brows.
In the original work, this technique was grabed by the Jialie family.
It's a pity. If I had known that the auction would be advanced, I would have killed the Jialie family later and asked them to take pictures of this volume of skills. Wouldn't I be able to grab it easily ?
While Xiao Fan's mind was racing, the atmosphere in the auction venue had already become extremely heated!
The price of Wind Swirl is also constantly rising!
After a fierce competition, the bidding voices in the field became less and less and gradually became sparse.
"Three hundred thousand!" At this time, Ao ba pa, the patriarch of the Ao ba family sitting in the first row, finally chose to bid.
Upon hearing this price, other bidders in the auction venue immediately gave up.
Just when Ao ba pa seemed interested, Xiao Zhan followed up and raised the price, "I'll pay 350,000!"
Ao ba pa glanced at Xiao Zhan and grinned: "370,000!"
Xiao Zhan's expression changed. Calmly said: "Four hundred thousand!"
When Ao Ba pa heard the price, he couldn't help but frown slightly, "Four hundred and twenty thousand!"
"Four hundred and thirty thousand!"
Xiao Zhan was about to continue bidding, but Xiao Fan on one side suddenly said spoke faintly.
Hearing Xiao Fan's sudden bid, Ao ba pa, Xiao Zhan, Yafei, and many guests in the auction venue suddenly focused their attention on Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan shrugged slightly, "Why are everyone looking at me? Can't I bid?"
