"Where is this place?"
Just as Qin Hao asked, he heard a cold laugh from nearby: "He’s talking about the auction house!"
The sound of footsteps approached as a group of people walked up to them.
Qin Hao looked at this group, a look of confusion on his face.
Wang Tu’s face changed slightly, and he whispered on the side: "These are the people of the Seventy-two Earth Spirits. This is Tao Yunqing, a man who has drunk with Wei Qingtian. The one next to him is He Sichao, a cousin of He Fang, and that one is Chen Ji..."
As they pointed out each person, the leading Tao Yunqing looked at Wang Tu with disdain: "Wang Tu, you used to be able to hold meetings with me. How is it that now, you’ve become someone else’s lapdog?"
Wang Tu’s face changed slightly, and he kept his mouth shut without speaking.
"What, feeling embarrassed now?"
Tao Yunqing’s expression became even more disdainful: "I went out for a task and came back to find you’ve turned into a coward, what a joke!"
Seeing Wang Tu clenching his fists with a full look of frustration, Qin Hao asked him, "Did you hear the buzzing of a fly?"
"Hmm?" Wang Tu hadn’t answered yet when Tao Yunqing, with an angry face, looked at Qin Hao: "You’re Qin Hao, right! Outsiders talk about you like some god, but seeing you today, you’re just an ordinary piece of trash! Hand over the Void Storage Ring within a day, or suffer the consequences!"
If someone else had been so threatened, they might have been terrified.
Qin Hao, however, acted as if he hadn’t heard anything, asking Wang Tu, "In the auction house you mentioned, are there really the herbs I need?"
Wang Tu glanced at Tao Yunqing, whose face had darkened, and earnestly replied: "Yes, the auction is organized by the Inner Sect senior brothers, so it has many precious herbs that Outer Court disciples can’t access, but everything inside is quite expensive..."
"Expensive is not a problem." Just after Qin Hao said this, Tao Yunqing burst out in anger: "I’m talking to you! You little bastard, are you deaf?"
Before the words were finished, Qin Hao waved to Wang Tu: "Lead the way, take me to the auction house."
Seeing this, Wang Tu gritted his teeth and led the way, so Qin Hao and the others walked past Tao Yunqing.
"Damn!"
Tao Yunqing clenched his fists tightly.
He was the second rank in the Outer Court, and aside from Wei Qingtian, no one could insult him, for he was the true Celestial King.
But just now, Qin Hao had repeatedly ignored him.
This humiliation was intolerable!
"Brother Tao! What do we do now?"
Beside him, the stout and dark-skinned He Sichao gritted his teeth and said, "The black market is regulated by the Inner Sect seniors, so we can’t make a move here. Are we just going to let him go like this?"
Although he didn’t have a good relationship with He Fang.
But after all, He Fang was his cousin, and the dead should be respected; no matter what, He Sichao felt it necessary to teach Qin Hao a lesson.
Moreover, he also greatly desired that Void Storage Ring.
"Let’s go to the auction house first and put this little bastard in his place!"
Tao Yunqing’s angry face turned into a sly smile: "That bastard just said he has money? Let’s verify that now, see if he really is rich!"
...
The auction house wasn’t far from the black market.
In contrast, there were fewer people here since this is a place for the wealthy, and those who can enter are all distinguished individuals.
At the entrance, four Outer Court disciples stood there arrogantly.
Even though they weren’t Earth Spirit experts, becoming guards at the auction house did signify considerable status.
Seeing Qin Hao and the others approach, the leader asked: "Who are you?"
Wang Tu quickly introduced with a smile: "This is Brother Qin Hao, and we’re here for the auction!"
Entering the auction house required a qualification assessment.
If one was part of the Seventy-two Earth Spirits, they naturally qualified.
Individuals with assets exceeding twenty thousand task points, verified by assessment, also qualified.
Qin Hao wasn’t part of the Seventy-two Earth Spirits and didn’t have the task points assessment, but his reputation spoke for itself.
The four guards’ expressions turned serious, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
"Please, come in!"
The leading guard dared not neglect them, as the senior brother who organized the auction had instructed them to treat guests with courtesy.
Thus, Qin Hao and the others entered the auction house unhindered.
The so-called auction house was actually a huge tent.
The space inside was very large, covering hundreds of square meters, with many chairs arranged in order.
The stage was inside the tent, very spacious.
When Qin Hao and the others arrived, the auction hadn’t started yet, and some disciples were interacting on the empty ground next to the auction area.
"Boss, the auction usually starts at 7:30 PM, so we can wait a bit." Wang Tu pointed to the bustling area, saying: "This is where auction house guests can interact. If willing, both parties can voluntarily trade here."
Qin Hao slightly nodded, then squinted as he saw a beauty approaching.
There were many people on site, but only a few were noteworthy.
The beauty approaching was one of them.
Her figure was graceful, waist slim, and in this world where ancient styles prevailed, she wore a tight-fitting dress.
Her figure was curvaceous, with her long legs exposed.
Just from her figure, she was undoubtedly a stunner, and her eyes were just as captivating as her figure.
Just her charming eyes were enough to move many men.
As the beauty walked, countless men cast eager glances at her.
Some female disciples wore looks of envy and disdain.
"Hmph! Just a shameless Sister Fox!"
Under the myriad of gazes, the beauty stopped in front of Qin Hao, her brows curious: "Are you Qin Hao?"
"I am." Qin Hao nodded faintly, his brows slightly furrowed.
The scent on the woman’s body was very strong, possibly due to perfume.
To be honest, he didn’t like strong scents, nor excessive makeup.
This woman was beautiful and sexy, but he wasn’t very fond of her.
"I’m Liu Qingqing..." The beauty smiled, revealing a set of teeth, her red lips exceptionally charming.
"Oh." Qin Hao slightly nodded.
Liu Qingqing maintained her smile: "You’re more handsome than I imagined. Do you have a partner?"
With these words, the surrounding men sighed in frustration.
"Sigh! That seductress Liu Qingqing is interested in Qin Hao!"
"Looks like I have no chance today, I really envy Qin Hao!"
"Damn, isn’t he just making a fuss lately! What’s so great about that!"
Just then, Qin Hao slightly shook his head: "I don’t need a partner."
What? Did he just reject Liu Qingqing? He actually did that?
The crowd was slightly taken aback.
Liu Qingqing was too, but soon her stiff smile turned into longing, her eyes twinkling as she said: "Could you make an exception for me today..."
