So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Chapter 30 Transaction 4K (1/2)

In the side hall, the master of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce was sitting on a chair. He was dressed quite gorgeously, and his face had already left the vicissitudes of life. At this time, he was slowly brewing tea, looking at ease.

"Master, where is the important guest you mentioned? I have to go to the auction later, and Man'er is waiting for me." The beautiful woman next to him asked while pressing Master Huang's shoulders.

"Is this the first time someone has made an appointment with you but is late?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in the beautiful woman's tone.

She could see that her master valued the "important guest" very much, so he came to the auction house early this morning to wait.

As a result, it was almost an hour later, but the important guest still did not come.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Huang stroked his beard and smiled, "I didn't make an appointment with him."

"Ah?"

The beautiful woman looked at her husband in astonishment and said, "How do you know he will come if we haven't made an appointment?"

"He will come. This is business." Mr. Huang said with a smile, "If he doesn't come, it will be troublesome."

The beautiful woman couldn't help but worry, "Is this business so important?"

Mr. Huang nodded and said seriously, "Important, very important business."

"If he doesn't come, I will make a lot of money for nothing, which will make me very uneasy."

"I made money for nothing...but I'm not at ease?" The beautiful woman repeated in confusion.

Mr. Huang tapped the table lightly with his index finger wearing a jade ring, and smiled, "There is no job in this world where you can pick up money by bending down. Now I've made this much money for nothing, but I may have to spit out more in the future."

"Free things may not really be free."

The beautiful woman seemed to understand.

Then, he said tentatively: "Master, it's been more than an hour, and the auction is about to start. If I don't go there, Man'er will be angry again."

"Let her be angry. You spoil that girl so much that she is so unscrupulous. If this goes on, she will be embarrassed outside sooner or later." Master Huang frowned.

His tone was full of reprimands, but when he thought of that eccentric daughter, his face eased a little and said:

"Forget it, you go find Man'er first. If she doesn't come later, I will find time to visit her again in the next two days."

Master Huang has no sons, only a daughter born to him and his wife. As for this daughter, the two have loved her since she was a child, so she has spoiled some strange little problems.

The beautiful woman nodded gently and turned to leave the side hall.

Soon, Feiying, wearing a red cheongsam, walked into the side hall and said respectfully, "Master, the auction is about to start."

Master Huang played with the two smooth and round gem balls in his hand and nodded, "I know... but this kind of thing is usually handled by you, don't ask me specifically."

As he said that, he casually asked, "Is there anything else?"

"The eldest young master of the Mu family said he wanted to see you... and said he was the important guest you were looking for."

Feiying paused, glanced at Master Huang who had no expression, and continued, "Shall I reject the other party?"

"No, you go to host the auction."

Master Huang put down the two gem balls in his hand, stroked his beard and smiled:

"For important guests, it's better for me to go there in person. At least sincerity must be shown."

Feiying was stunned for a moment, and looked at Master Huang twice in surprise.

Then, she recalled what the eldest young master of the Mu family who had just made a move had said, and she was stunned for a moment.

So... the important guest that Mr. Huang was waiting for was actually the eldest son of the Mu family?

When Feiying thought of this, her slender fingertips gently touched the charming lips, and her eyes flickered slightly.

...

Mr. Huang walked into the side hall and saw the young man drinking tea in the side hall.

Mu Zhian obviously noticed it, raised his head and smiled: "Uncle Huang."

Mr. Huang smiled and nodded, and sat down on the chair across the table from Mu Zhian.

The maid next to him came forward to pour him a cup of tea, and then quietly stepped aside.

He raised his hand and ordered the servants in the side hall to leave the hall. Then, he slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then sighed softly: "Nephew Mu, your uncle has been sleeping very restlessly these two days."

Mu Zhian said with concern: "If you don't sleep well, I can ask Mr. Ren to make two tranquilizing pills for you later, maybe you can sleep more peacefully."

"Then thank Mr. Ren for me first." Mr. Huang laughed heartily.

Then, he suddenly sighed softly and said, "However, the most important factor that can make uncle sleep more peacefully is not the tranquilizing pill, but you."

"Me?"

Mr. Huang nodded and said, "I was worried that nephew Mu would treat me as an outsider these days, so I couldn't sleep."

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "How could this be? I have always treated uncle as my own, so I came to find you today."

He went straight to the point and continued, "Uncle should have heard about the black-robed man? As long as he is in Tianxuan City, we can't feel at ease."

Mr. Huang nodded in agreement: "Nephew Mu is right, this black-robed man must be driven out."

Mr. Huang changed his tone and continued, "However, the Dawn Chamber of Commerce was established not long ago, and its foundation is weak, and uncle can't do anything to help you. However, if you need it, just say it, and uncle will find a way to get it for you."

It is comfortable to deal with such smart people... Mu Zhian nodded and said, "Actually, I asked Sister Feiying for some medicinal herbs today. These are the relevant medicinal herbs needed to deal with the black-robed people when the time comes..."

After hearing this, Mr. Huang waved his hand and said, "These medicinal herbs will be given to my nephew Mu. In addition, your uncle will prepare some gold for you as funds to deal with the black-robed people."

Mu Zhian shook his head and said, "Gold or something is not necessary, but I need some spiritual stones..."

As he said this, he inadvertently glanced at the heroic president of the Chamber of Commerce.

If gold and silver are the tickets in the world, then spiritual stones are the silver tickets in the world of immortal cultivation.

These spiritual stones are different from gold and silver. They can all be immediately purified and taken into the body as spiritual energy.

Therefore, for those cultivators, the importance of spiritual stones is far more precious than gold and silver.

Of course, gold and silver naturally have their advantages. At least among the people, people only recognize these gold, silver and jewelry.

Mr. Huang's eyes flickered, and he said to himself thoughtfully: "Spirit stones... I wonder how many spirit stones does my nephew Mu want?"

"Fifty thousand." Mu Zhian compared a number.

Under normal circumstances, even the salary of disciples of those large sects is only three or two thousand spirit stones a month. According to Mu Zhian's psychological expectation, the number of spirit stones that Mr. Huang can afford should not exceed fifty thousand.

However, Mr. Huang still shook his head.

"No, it's too little."

He looked up at Mu Zhian and said seriously: "I'll give you one hundred thousand spirit stones."

Mu Zhian was slightly stunned.

For a moment, he didn't understand the way of the president of the Morning Xi Chamber of Commerce... Not only did the other party not lower the price, but he doubled it?

He shook his head and said, "The man in black robe is not worth the price."

"But my nephew Mu is worth the price."

Mr. Huang put down his teacup and smiled, "You should know that I am a businessman and I am not very interested in power. It is enough for me to live in a corner."

"As for the matter between you and the Gongsun family, or the Bai family, I am not interested and will not interfere."

What this means is that I will pay the money that should be paid, and don't involve me in your disputes afterwards. I just want to make money in peace... Mu Zhian understood.

"I don't understand one thing." Mu Zhian said, "Since uncle doesn't want to get involved in the dispute, why would he cooperate with the Gongsun family and attack the Bai family?"

Mr. Huang shook his head: "I have never used any force against the Bai family. In our industry, we call this a commercial war."

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnail---300x250', placement: 'Below article thumbnail - 300x250', target_type: 'mix' });

In that case, Mr. Huang did not send anyone to attack the Bai family... At least from the information on the surface, what the Dawn Chamber of Commerce really did was to suppress the Bai family's market in Tianxuan City... Mu Zhian thought to himself.

"I will have someone send the spirit stones to the Mu family later, hoping that they can be auctioned for some use." Mr. Huang said with a smile.

"Uncle Huang is a wise man." Mu Zhian said sincerely.

Mr. Huang laughed and put down his teacup.

"My nephew Mu is also a smart man."

The two chatted for a while, and Mr. Huang suddenly changed his tone and said, "The auction is still going on. If you don't mind, my nephew can go and have a look. Today, Miss Feiying is hosting it."

He knew that Mu Zhian had some feelings for Feiying in the past, but Mr. Huang didn't want to offend the auctioneer too much.

With Feiying's ability, it is not difficult to switch to other auction chambers.

And the most important thing is that because of some forces behind Feiying, Mr. Huang can't take any revenge after she changes jobs.

Merchants pay attention to interests. If they damage their own interests after taking action against someone, they will consider whether they should be happy for a while.

This is the case with the 100,000 spirit stones given to Mu Zhian, and the same is true for Feiying.

"Well... that's true. Since we're here, let's go take a look." Mu Zhian nodded.

Mr. Huang smiled and nodded, saying: "But be careful, don't do anything bad to Miss Feiying? Otherwise, if there is any problem, your uncle won't be able to solve it."

After all, Feiying has a sister behind her.

She is a disciple of Liangyi Sect.

And it is said that she has been promoted to the level of inner disciples.

Liangyi Sect... just this identity is enough to make people afraid.

The elders of Liangyi Sect will naturally not use their hands to suppress others casually.

But you have to know that being in Liangyi Sect means connections.

If you offend Feiying, you may offend a large number of people... Mr. Huang knows this very well.

Mu Zhian smiled and nodded: "I know."

He knows this better than anyone else.

Generally speaking, killing one person is basically equivalent to offending a group of people. Killing a person will give birth to a father, and killing the other person's father may give birth to a grandfather, great-grandfather, or even great-grandfather.

Even in the world of immortals, people still have to follow the ways of the world.

For example, if the protagonists kill people but are not killed, it is because they are the chosen ones. They are born with great luck and will not die easily.

Generally speaking, when the realms are so different, how can you kill someone and still let you run away?

Under the leadership of the maid, Mu Zhian arrived at the auction site and sat down in the box that had been prepared.

Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the space here is obviously much more spacious and comfortable.

However, just as he sat down, the corner of Mu Zhian's eye suddenly fell on those people participating in the auction outside.

Among the people he saw an old acquaintance.

Ye Yu.

"What a coincidence..."

Mu Zhian smiled and thought to himself, maybe I was born to be incompatible with the protagonist.

Although it was just a coincidence, it felt as if God was taking various twists and turns to let Ye Yu step on his supporting role and rise to the top.

In front of the high platform, the voluptuous Fei Ying looked around the crowd and said with a soft voice:

"The item being auctioned below is quite special. It is said that it is a fragment of a powerful weapon from ancient times. Although it seems to be rusty now, we may be able to find a way to use it to create a magical weapon in the future. "

Mu Zhian took a closer look and saw that the latest product was stored in front of the high platform. It was a rather ordinary-looking bronze piece with complex patterns engraved on it, but it looked tattered.

People's eyes suddenly lost interest.

If it weren't for Fei Ying hosting it, there would probably be people shouting "RNM refunds" or something like that by now.

After all, they didn't come to the auction to see such crap.

"The starting price is one hundred spirit stones."

After Fei Ying finished speaking, the venue was completely silent, with no one following her.

This was within Fei Ying's expectation. She still looked at the people in the audience with a charming smile.

After all, these people still don't quite understand the value of this bronze piece... Although it looks like just scrap metal, according to the investigation of my subordinates, this bronze piece may really be a fragment of a powerful weapon from ancient times.

One hundred spirit stones can be said to be no different from giving away for free. If this piece of bronze can be integrated into a weapon in the future, it will be a priceless treasure.

Even if not, this can also be used as a treasure.

It's just a pity that there is no one who knows the goods in this scene.

"One hundred and fifty spirit stones."

At this time, a young man's calm voice suddenly came from the audience.

Fei Ying looked around in surprise.

It's that good-for-nothing from the Ye family... I heard recently that he has reached the peak of refining in just a few months, and is an out-and-out genius.

There are still people who know the goods... There is a hint of admiration in the charming eyes of the cheongsam elder sister.

Sensing Fei Ying's gaze, Ye Yu felt a little proud, but he still looked calm.

However, when he stared at the bronze piece, there was an unconcealable fire in his eyes.

The old man who was sleeping in his body just now told him that this bronze piece is a good thing... he must find a way to get it.

Fortunately, no one discovered this... otherwise we would be in trouble.

"One hundred and fifty spiritual stones, is there anyone who offers a higher price?"

Fei Ying looked around at everyone, waited for a moment, and then said: "One hundred and fifty spiritual stones once -"

"Five hundred spirit stones."

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from a certain box.

The atmosphere in the entire venue seemed to be stagnant for a moment, and Ye Yu was also stunned, turning his head to look subconsciously.

Although he couldn't see the other person's face, he knew who it was just by hearing the voice.

...Mu Zhian.

As Mu Zhian's quotation fell, the atmosphere in the auction room suddenly became a little more subtle.

Everyone recognized the identity of the owner of the box and looked at Ye Yu with ambiguous eyes.

These people more or less know that the relationship between Mu Zhian and Ye Yu is not getting along. The reason why Mu Zhian is bidding with Ye Yu now is probably to get revenge on him.

It's him again... Ye Yu looked at the box where the price was announced, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

However, Mu Zhian, who was leisurely drinking tea in the box and enjoying the massage from the maid, naturally did not know these things.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Anyway, I only need to know one thing.

What Ye Yu wants... must be something good.
