219 Going to Meet the Master
In front of the Fengxing Auction House, one by one, the buyers walked out and chatted with each other with glowing faces.
“As expected of a treasured weapon. Just the starting price alone is 3,000 gold! ”
“Just this? The three forces didn’t even blink when they called out their bids.”
“The county governor’s mansion is really rich. In the end, they actually bid 8,000 gold for a treasured weapon…”
Everyone felt that this trip was not in vain. The three major powers had also used this auction to showcase their wealth.
The buyers didn’t travel far. Instead, they piled up on Wanli Street and guarded the entrance of the Fengxing Auction House.
Everyone knew that the auction was over. But it was not over yet.
This was because the bejeweled weapon master that should have been exterminated by Lingjiang had appeared today. No matter which of the three forces, they would never let this bejeweled weapon master go. If this bejeweled weapon master entered a force, it would definitely cause cracks in the balance of the three forces.
Whoosh…
On the long white steps, Zhang Haoyue, who was dressed in a green and white robe, had a gentle smile on his face. Beside him was a handsome young man wearing a mink fur coat, Feng Xiaochuan. On his right was a skinny and handsome youth from the Twin Extreme sect.
The three of them stood side by side. They were even more handsome than the girls in the brothel. However, no one dared to shout dirty words at the three of them.
Because the three people present were the three geniuses who stood at the peak of the younger generation in Lingjiang City, all experts in the bone pattern realm.
Two steps behind the youth from the Twin Extreme sect was a muscular man with a dull expression. If Qin Huai was here, he would have instantly discovered that the other party was Reihom from the Thunderbolt Dojo.
Reihom held the broken artifact in his hand as he followed behind the three of them. His aura was not inferior to the three people in front of him.
The three of them didn’t speak much, but they walked toward the inn Qin Huai was staying at.
“The two of you, who shall go first?” Zhang Haoyue stood in front of the inn and said to Feng Xiaochuan and the youth from the Bipolar Sect with a calm expression.
“It doesn’t matter. Anyway, this kind of thing can’t be decided by who comes first.” Feng Xiaochuan didn’t care, as if victory was already in his grasp.
“Then Brother Zhang will go first. After all, Brother Zhang has already invested 150,000 taels of silver. He should have some special privileges.” The youth from the Twin Extreme sect seemed to be very easy to talk to.
“Then Haoyue will respectfully obey.” Zhang Haoyue cupped his hands at the two of them.
The three of them had a friendly attitude. If others did not know their identities, they would really think that they were best friends.
Zhang Haoyue walked into the inn with a smile on his face.
The boss, who had been waiting for a long time, smiled and rubbed his hands against his body as if he was afraid of dirtying Zhang Haoyue’s eyes.
“Sir, this way please!” The shopkeeper bowed. “The master is in the innermost private room on the left side of the first floor.”
“Thank you.” Zhang Haoyue nodded.
He had already thought of a countermeasure when he was at the Fengxing Auction House. Although the master disguised himself very well, Zhang Haoyue could still tell that the other party was not old. It was very likely that he would not be more than thirty-five years old.
Master Fuqiao and the other two had only entered this realm in their fifties. Obviously, this mysterious master wasn’t just a genius, he might even have a master behind him. He was cautious and did not want to show it to others easily. He was focused on refining artifacts, clearly he had come down the mountain to temper himself.
It was definitely not possible to keep them alive. If they provoked the sect behind the other party, they would probably become a great enemy for the Nine Dragons sect.
The other party probably wouldn’t even care about money. A weapon grandmaster who wasn’t even thirty-five years old, the thing he didn’t lack the least was money.
It was obvious that the other party wanted an opportunity to continuously hone his skills.
Zhang Haoyue quickly sorted out his thoughts. If he wanted to rope in someone, he never looked at what he had, but what the other party needed. As for himself, he had clearly grasped the other party’s needs.
With a smile on his face, he gently knocked on the door of the bejeweled weapon master.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Master, I’m Zhang Haoyue from the Nine Dragons sect. I’m sorry to disturb you, but I have a few things to ask you.”
“…”
A deathly silence filled the corridor of the inn.
The smile on Zhang Haoyue’s face did not fade, though. He still stood in front of the master’s door like a wooden stake. He had a similar experience when he visited Master Fuqiao.
These masters seemed to like to use some strange methods to test people.
Or rather…
These masters were able to make achievements in these non-mainstream paths because of their eccentric personalities. It was the same for forging and alchemy. There had always been a lot of such weirdos.
After fifteen minutes, Zhang Haoyue’s expression was still natural.
After twenty-five minutes, he was still the same.
After two hours, he stood still like a pine tree.
The sky gradually turned dark. Zhang Haoyue still had the same expression, but he was muttering in his heart.
He flipped his hand, and a thumb-sized bug appeared in his palm. A pair of thick and long antennae swept around the room before pointing into the room.
He was still inside…
Zhang Haoyue had already sprinkled some powder on the master at the auction house to make it easier to track him. He was also afraid that the other two families would make a move and kidnap him.
Zhang Haoyue looked at the result in front of him and felt helpless. This master’s temper was really strange.
Fortunately, for a bone pattern realm expert like him, standing here for a night was nothing.
