Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2388: Chapter 2389: Tianhe Auction (Part 3)

”What? Do you want to go inside and take a look?” Mo Changhong asked gently.

Xiao Gourd nodded, and without waiting for Mo Changhong to respond, he stepped towards the Sky Beyond the Skies Auction House.

Mo Changhong smiled and muttered softly under his breath.

”Truly decisive!”

Saying this, he followed along.

The group crossed the street and arrived at the entrance of the Sky Beyond the Skies Auction House.

It was clear that an auction was already in progress inside, as the doors were tightly shut, with only a few guards stationed in attendance.

Seeing the group approach, the guards intended to stop them, but Mo Changhong casually tossed over a name card.

”Open the door and let us in!”

Upon seeing the name on the card, the guards couldn’t help but gasp, quickly stepping aside.

”Yes! Shopkeeper Mo and esteemed guests, please come in!”

Saying this, someone pushed open the door, and Mo Changhong confidently led the group into the auction hall.

And this scene was witnessed by those from the Si Family secretly tailing them, prompting someone to immediately rush back to report.

In the blink of an eye, Si Mingqi, stationed in the back, received the news and couldn’t help but be startled.

”What did you say? They entered the Sky Beyond the Skies Auction House?”

”Yes!”

Si Mingqi’s face bore a contemplative look.

What is Mo Changhong up to?

Why did he suddenly bring people to the auction house?

After pondering for a moment, he abruptly raised his head, his gaze resolute: ”Let’s go! We’ll also head to the Sky Beyond the Skies Auction House to see what’s going on!”

”Yes!”

With the influence of the Si Family, they didn’t expend much effort sneaking into the auction house.

Of course, to avoid detection, both Si Mingqi and Guang Zhong had disguised themselves and did not go to a private box but sat in the main hall.

At this moment, the auction just reached its halfway point, and it was obvious that the items auctioned earlier weren’t anything valuable, leaving a relaxed atmosphere in the venue with many people whispering to each other.

In fact, this was the usual state of the auction; after all, not every auction has hits.

Often, those attending this Sky Beyond the Skies auction merely treat it as a platform for exchanging information and observing prices.

Si Mingqi naturally had attended the auctions at Sky Beyond the Skies before, albeit not on this planet, but the chain nature of the establishments meant that almost all were quite similar, so he was not unfamiliar with it.

However, his attention wasn’t on the auction items at the front but constantly glancing towards the private boxes at the back.

He was sure that Mo Changhong must be in one of those boxes with the young girl.

But that was as far as he could confirm; he didn’t know which specific box they were in.

Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment, then waved a hand.

An auction economist responsible for the hall approached.

”What orders does the lord have?” the economist asked with a smile.

”Is there anything valuable today?” Si Mingqi asked.

”Which aspect and what standard do you mean?” the economist asked professionally.

”Something that would catch the interest of a powerful faction!”

The economist shook his head without hesitation, ”No, today’s auction is just a routine event with nothing particularly eye-catching. With the gathering about to commence, many buyers and sellers are holding back to strike deals then, so the market is quite subdued!”

Si Mingqi nodded, then tossed over a shard of crystal.

”Thank you!”

”Good luck, my lord!”

Saying this, the economist turned and left.

Si Mingqi was now certain that this auction had no hidden agenda.

Because the auction economists make their living from this, if there were any secrets, they would surely know.

As for seeking a bargain, such things simply didn’t exist in this Sky Beyond the Skies Auction House.

After all, those present were not ordinary people, and if any auctioned item had even a bit of secrecy, these people wouldn’t let it go.

Thinking of this, Si Mingqi relaxed, leaning back in his chair.

”Keep an eye on the boxes in the back!”

”Yes!”

And at the exact moment when Si Mingqi and his men snuck into the auction house, inside a VIP room at the back.

Mo Changhong, bored, flipped through the auction catalog, ”Xiao Gourd, you suddenly brought everyone in here just to look at these worthless things?”

Xiao Gourd stayed silent, only standing at the floor-to-ceiling window, intently watching the auction stage in the distance.

One after another, auction items were brought out like flowing water; some were purchased, but more went unnoticed and were eventually withdrawn.

It was clear that even the auctioneer in charge of this auction exhibited some lack of engagement.

Let alone the overall atmosphere of the event.

But at that moment, as an item was brought to the stage, Xiao Gourd’s eyes suddenly twitched, and they raised a hand to point.

”Buy it!”

The voice was crisp and decisive.

Mo Changhong immediately looked up and saw a dull gray metal component on the auction stage.

It seemed to be part of an item, but it appeared somewhat incomplete.

Such an item would hardly attract a glance on the street, let alone in this auction venue.

So even the auctioneer introduced it without much enthusiasm, ”A piece of metal with an unclear origin and purpose, somewhat peculiar in nature, seemingly a relic of the Alchemy Civilization!”

The existence of the Alchemy Civilization in the Sky Beyond the Skies was no secret.

And the leftover items were countless, so such an introduction didn’t pique anyone’s interest.

Some people even yawned out of boredom, muttering quietly, ”Looks like Sky Beyond the Skies truly has nothing to auction this time, even a piece of scrap metal is on the auction block!”

”Exactly, no one would want this, auctioning it is just wasting time!”

Just then, the auctioneer slightly raised his voice.

”Starting price ten Spirit Crystals, the bidding starts now!”

The talking in the venue continued, people uninterested in the item.

But then, a red sign was suddenly lifted in a box at the back.

This meant a purchase!

”Okay, a gentleman from a box offers ten Spirit Crystals to buy this item, any more bids?” the auctioneer asked perfunctorily.

There was no reaction from the audience, someone laughed, ”Haha, who else but some idle big-shot would be interested in such junk? After all, ten Spirit Crystals is still money!”

But Si Mingqi was suddenly startled because he vaguely felt something unusual about this item, so without hesitation, he also raised his sign.

”Great! A gentleman over here bids twenty Spirit Crystals, any more bids?” the auctioneer, jolted awake from drowsiness, spoke with increased enthusiasm.

Because this was the first time someone had bid during this event.

But just as he finished speaking, a blue sign was suddenly raised in the back box.

”The gentleman from the box makes a one-time increase of one hundred Spirit Crystals, now offering a hundred and twenty Spirit Crystals, any more bids!”

This statement caused a stir in the venue.
