At the same time, Gui Mei and Xu Sheng had already found the auction house in the Xingluo Empire…
Gazing at the resplendent building in front of him, the former couldn't help but express his doubts, "Xu Sheng, even though this is the largest auction house in the Xingluo Empire, are you sure we can buy the thing we want here??"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng glanced at him and didn't provide a definitive answer, "Elder Gui, I'm not entirely clear on where that item specifically is, but since this is the largest auction house, it should have the greatest possibility."
After all, this was from tens of thousands of years ago, he didn't know if any changes had occurred!
Gui Mei was somewhat unsatisfied with this, "Hah?? You don't even have this much certainty !!"
He had thought that the other party had some assurance, but it turned out to be just speculation!
If they couldn't find it, wouldn't that mean their trip was in vain!
Seeing this, Xu Sheng could only reply quietly, "Elder Gui, please be patient, even if the item really isn't here, it doesn't matter, I have other methods!"
With this answer, Gui Mei's expression finally improved slightly…
"That's more like it. I wouldn't just follow you around for this absurd speculation !!"
As they were discussing, the soldiers responsible for guarding the auction house seemed to have noticed their presence, exchanging glances with each other...
Soon, they came over, weapons in hand...
The first sentence out of their mouths was filled with a strong interrogative tone…
"This is the largest auction house within the territory of the Xingluo Empire; if I'm not wrong, you two aren't locals, are you?"
The reason was simple, the apparel of Xu Sheng and his companion was drastically different from that of the surrounding civilians and Soul Masters, it was obvious at a glance!
Coming back to his senses, Xu Sheng seriously replied, "Yes, we are from the Tiandou Empire, we heard that this place often auctions off rare treasures, so we made a special trip here!"
Gui Mei just indifferently "hmm" in response…
These ants were not worthy of his explanation!
In an instant, the soldier revealed a smug expression, boasting with a hint of pride, "Then you've come to the right place, our Xingluo Empire is not like the Tiandou Empire, the items auctioned definitely won't disappoint."
Pausing for a moment, he added again, "However, I do need to remind you!"
"If you are here to simply participate in the auction, that's fine, but if you have ulterior motives, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
This statement was just meant to intimidate them a little...
After all, there were Title Douluo level powerhouses stationed in the auction house; if someone really caused trouble, it wouldn't be their turn to handle it!
Xu Sheng didn't show the slightest displeasure, "Of course!"
Having said that, he surreptitiously handed over some golden soul coins to the latter...
Then, casting a meaningful glance at Gui Mei, he immediately entered the auction house…
As they walked away, the soldier couldn't help but curse in his mind…
"Hmph, that guy exuding such a somber aura didn't even have the sense of a child!"
It was none of his concern anyway!
Just by saying a few words, he had made dozens of golden soul coins; his luck today was indeed good!
Hopefully more guys like this would come!!
...
After entering the auction house, Gui Mei spoke in a cold voice, "Xu Sheng, you call yourself the Saint Heir of the Martial Soul Hall, why show such respect to some soldiers? They're just ants that can be squashed easily!"
The only one who deserved his respect was Pope Bibi Dong!
Everyone else, unless they had formidable strength, were insignificant ants in his eyes!!
Xu Sheng retorted, "Elder Gui, this is the Xingluo Empire, didn't you say not to reveal our identities?"
Caught off-guard, Gui Mei glared at him fiercely, "Still, there was no need to be so obsequious!"
As the Saint Heir of the Martial Soul Hall, to be so subservient in front of some soldiers was somewhat humiliating...
Before they could continue, they were interrupted by a sudden voice...
"The two of you are here for the auction, right? Let me show you the way!"
Indistinctly visible was a woman wearing a gray veil, concealing her beautiful features...
Her exquisite figure had also attracted the attention of many...
What made people feel a bit uneasy was that her voice was devoid of any emotion, as though she was a puppet!
Gui Mei glanced sideways, and with a tone of surprise said, "I didn't expect the auction house of the Xingluo Empire to be like this!"
While the latter appeared very calm, it was hard to imagine the amount of torture she had endured before, even having lost her own will!!
This, in fact, coincided with the auction houses of the Tiandou Empire!
Xu Sheng had naturally noticed this as well, but he did not show any obvious reaction...
"Then please, lead the way!"
Soon after, under the woman's guidance, they arrived at their destination...
A rough estimate would place the entire auction site at several thousand square meters...
But surprisingly, nearly every seat was filled...
Xu Sheng pointed to some open seats not far away and suggested, "Elder Gui, let's find ourselves a place to sit!"
Hearing these words, Gui Mei rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "What? You actually want me to sit together with those Civilian Soul Masters!!"
Whether it was a matter of dignity or pride, he found it somewhat unacceptable!!
Xu Sheng sighed, "Elder Gui, with our status, it's already good enough that we can enter the auction, how could we possibly get good seats!"
Had I known I'd have not let Gui Mei come alone, such a trouble!!
Gui Mei snorted coldly and then turned around...
"You just wait here!"
After speaking, he disappeared from view...
It wasn't long before he reappeared...
"It's settled, we'll sit there!"
After saying that, he pointed to the seats closest to the auction stage...
Obviously, those seats were for people with certain identities and statuses!
The corner of Xu Sheng's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but remind, "Elder Gui, you didn't reveal your identity, did you?"
Gui Mei looked at him as if he were looking at an idiot, "What are you thinking about? How could I do something so foolish? I just had a simple chat with the people from the auction house, and they offered us two spots on their own!"
"Alright, the auction is about to start, let's take our seats!"
As a Hyper Douluo, is getting one or two front row seats difficult?
Not at all!
Even so easy that I was doubtful whether I had revealed my identity!!
Xu Sheng did not say more and quickly took a seat with Gui Mei...
Not long after, the lights of the entire auction site dimmed...
"Welcome, distinguished guests, to this auction. I am the auctioneer for this event..."
The auction officially began!
