Chapter 2497 Seeing Old Friends Again
Chapter 2497 Seeing Old Friends Again
Once inside the auction house, it was even more bustling than outside. Qin Fei estimated that at least one-tenth of the city's population had come here today.
"Young Master Li, would you prefer a first-class seat or...?"
Li Yan was no ordinary person. As soon as he appeared, a disciple of the Blackwater Sect approached him and asked him respectfully.
"Nonsense, would our young master squeeze in with others?" Before Li Yan could speak, his protector had already rebuked him.
Rebuked by a powerful figure, the Blackwater Sect disciple naturally dared not refute, and could only respectfully lead the way.
"Here are the crystals for your seat, take them!" After arriving at the reserved seat in the front row, Li Yan's protector tossed him a pile of crystals, at least two or three hundred.
"Call me anytime if you need anything." After taking the crystal, the person who had led the way quickly left.
"Money really does work everywhere."
Seeing this, Qin Fei couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Just then, Liu Wen and his group arrived at the first row, led by a Blackwater Sect disciple.
They all came from top-tier families, so naturally they were all seated in the first row. However, Liu Wen disliked Li Yan and Qin Fei, so he sneered sarcastically, "Sitting with certain people is truly a great disgrace to me!"
“If you feel uncomfortable, you can go sit in the last row right now, or even get out. The auction will continue as usual without you,” Li Yan said expressionlessly.
"Tsk tsk tsk, my defeated opponent still dares to speak so arrogantly. Don't you know what shame is?" Liu Wen asked with a look of disdain.
Hearing this, Li Yan really didn't want to talk to the other person anymore, so he simply closed his eyes and remained unmoved no matter what Liu Wen said.
He came here today to attend the auction, not to argue with Liu Wen.
A temporary setback doesn't mean anything. If Li Yan's skill level is higher than Liu Wen's, he can easily beat Liu Wen. So Liu Wen's words are just nonsense.
Liu Wen didn't expect Li Yan to stop talking to him after a while. If a person keeps talking to thin air, it will get boring after a while, so Liu Wen chose to shut up.
He is the Liu family's super genius, and in some ways, he can even represent the Liu family with full authority.
He could curse and even talk nonsense in front of Li Yan.
But if Li Yan ignores him and he keeps talking, he will only make people around him, Liu Wen, and even his entire Liu family, look like a laughing stock.
"Quiet down, everyone, please be quiet."
With a large influx of people, the place quickly became overflowing. Under these circumstances, one of the leaders of Blackwater Gate finally emerged from the shadows.
"I know everyone has been eagerly anticipating today's auction. We've been working hard to prepare the goods, and after a period of effort, we are finally ready to meet you all. I hereby declare the auction open!"
The Blackwater Gate didn't try to hide anything from everyone. Their so-called "stockpiling" probably just involved kidnapping people everywhere, and everyone was obviously already used to this kind of thing.
As long as your own family members are not missing, then it has nothing to do with them.
"Do you sell female cultivators?" someone asked loudly.
"Don't worry, of course there is, and she's a stunningly beautiful and alluring female cultivator!" the Black Water Sect member said.
"If that's the case, then what are we waiting for?"
"Let's get started!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we have to put them to the test to see what they're really made of!"
"Alright, in that case, let's officially begin the auction!"
The person in charge of Blackwater Gate was not a talkative person. Upon hearing this, he immediately announced that the auction had officially begun.
"Next, we will be auctioning off a middle-aged slave. Please take a look!"
Just then, two Blackwater Sect disciples escorted a middle-aged man, dressed in rags and covered in blood, onto the auction stage.
"how is this possible?"
When Qin Fei saw the middle-aged man's face clearly, his heart was instantly filled with turbulent waves, because he never expected that the person who was about to be auctioned off was actually... Zhen Tian?
The leader of the Guardians!
Zhen Tian!
When Qin Fei came down from Earth to this ancient battlefield world, King Wu had told him that once he encountered Zhen Tian, he must stick together for warmth.
But in the long time Qin Fei has been down here, he hasn't even encountered many other people he used to know, let alone Zhen Tian.
So how could he not be shocked when he saw Zhen Tian?
How did he get captured by the Blackwater Gate?
Moreover, judging from his appearance, he had clearly suffered tremendous torment, to the point that he was neither human nor ghost.
As a former leader of humanity, he devoted his entire life to protecting mankind, but now all his noble ideals are probably going to be shattered here.
He probably never dreamed that one day he would become a commodity in someone else's eyes.
"what happened?"
"Do you know this slave?" At this moment, Li Yan seemed to notice Qin Fei's unusual behavior and asked in a low voice.
"I know him," Qin Fei nodded.
Li Yan didn't know Zhen Tian's true identity, so there was no need for him to hide this from him.
"Although this slave's cultivation level is currently very low, we all know that the lower a person's cultivation level, the higher their potential for growth. Moreover, we have tested his physical attributes, and they are quite good. With proper training, he will definitely be able to stand on his own in the future."
The implication is that this person is very suitable to be trained as a suicide squad member.
After all, what a suicide squad needs is not just loyalty, but also strength. If someone's talent is so low that even if the other party is loyal, what use is it?
"What's the starting bid for this slave?" someone couldn't help but shout.
"The starting price isn't high, thirty crystals!" said the person in charge of the Blackwater Gate.
"Nima..."
Hearing that the other party had set the starting bid for Zhen Tian at only thirty crystals, Qin Fei's heart couldn't help but tremble.
You know, sometimes such a small amount of crystal can't even buy a bottle of wine, but now it can represent a living life.
It has to be said that in the cultivation world, human life is sometimes as worthless as grass, with pitifully low value.
"I'll put up fifty."
As soon as the starting price was announced, people immediately began bidding.
"Aren't you going to start bidding?" Li Yan asked, turning his gaze to Qin Fei.
"There are too many people bidding now. If I were to bid, it would only make things worse. Let them make their noise for a while," Qin Fei replied.
Zhen Tian was an old friend of his, and had saved his life, so he was determined to buy him today no matter what.
He was willing to go bankrupt for this.
"Then let's wait a little longer."
