Chapter 1328 Kongtong Town
In the evening, Xiao Yi and Xia Mingyao appeared at the entrance of Kongtong Town.
Looking at the crowds of people around him, Xiao Yi felt a little dazed. If there weren't so many cultivators around him, he would have really thought he had returned to the secular world.
“It’s really prosperous.”
Xiao Yi felt a little emotional and looked around.
"After all, it is the 'back garden' of the entire Kongtong Mountain. What is available outside is also available here, but what is available here may not be available outside."
Xia Mingyao explained.
"Oh?"
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and inexplicably thought of some not-so-serious things.
Xia Mingyao frowned. What does this tone... mean?
"Well, Director Xia, please take me around."
Xiao Yi noticed Xia Mingyao's suspicious expression and didn't dare to commit suicide.
"Director Xia?"
Xia Mingyao asked back.
"Tour guide, after all, you are more familiar with this."
Xiao Yi shrugged.
"I haven't been here for many years, and I didn't expect it to have changed so much."
As Xia Mingyao spoke, she took Xiao Yi's hand and entered Kongtong Town.
As they passed by along the way, they attracted the attention of many handsome men and beautiful women, all of whom had a bit of envy in their eyes. They were truly a perfect match.
At this moment, a wave of energy suddenly surged not far away.
When Xiao Yi and the others looked over, they saw two people already fighting each other, and their strength was above the Hua Jin level.
Ordinary people around hurriedly dodged, but some practitioners just watched with their hands behind their backs, making comments casually but not taking it too seriously, after all, it was too common.
Not long after, two strong men arrived quickly and stopped the conflict between the two in time.
"It seems... not a law enforcer."
Xiao Yi looked at the two strong men and said casually.
"The order here was previously controlled by the law enforcers. Later, the head of the law enforcers here united with several large sects such as Xingyuetang and Kongtong Sect to jointly manage this town and maintain order."
Xia Mingyao explained.
"As for law enforcers, there should be some, but they are just too few, or they are hiding in the dark."
"This method is not bad. After all, this is your own territory. You definitely don't want any chaos. So there is no need to invest too much law enforcement manpower."
Xiao Yi nodded, knowing that it was related to the recent pressure on law enforcement officers.
In fact, this matter is the same as his plan to form an alliance of forces in the ancient martial arts world, to use each other's strengths and jointly resist risks.
"That's true. There are basically some minor fights here. Generally, nothing serious will happen."
Xia Mingyao nodded.
A burst of noise was heard. A few dozen meters away, a lot of people gathered in front of a stall. Some were bidding, while others were just watching.
"interesting."
Xiao Yi discovered something and pulled Xia Mingyao forward.
He had participated in many auctions, but he had rarely seen auctions held at street stalls. There were also auctions held at street stalls in night markets, but most of them were calligraphy and paintings.
"One million? That's too much of a premium."
"This isn't worth a million anyway..."
Some onlookers were talking in low voices.
"1.2 million!"
Suddenly, another person stood up from the crowd, walked directly onto the stage and handed over the card.
For a moment, everyone became agitated again. This person was too impatient.
"This friend offered 1.2 million. Are there any friends who are interested?"
The stall owner looked around and asked.
In front of him was a magical weapon, but it looked quite crude.
Then, no one in the crowd bid anymore.
"Well, then it belongs to this friend."
The boss didn't say any more words. He took the bank card, handed over the magic weapon, turned around and swiped the card, all in one smooth motion.
"Haha, it's mine."
The man stroked the magic weapon in his hand and couldn't let it go.
People were still talking about it, some thought it was a setup, and some thought the man had made a mistake.
"You don't think I'm a shill, do you? It's obviously you who don't know the value of this thing. This thing can save lives at the critical moment, haha..."
The man did not forget to mock everyone in return.
Then he took the card and walked away.
"good?"
Xia Mingyao turned around and looked at Xiao Yi.
"Well, the stuff is OK. That guy has a good eye."
Xiao Yi nodded. He had been paying attention to the magic weapon.
The boss started a new round of display and auction. Gradually, people put aside their worries, trusted their own feelings, and began to bid.
"Anyone promising?"
Xiao Yi asked Xia Mingyao.
"I was going to ask you, is there anything that catches your eye?"
Xia Mingyao couldn't laugh or cry.
"In fact, you don't have to give it much meaning. Even if it's just a vulgar thing, as long as you like it, it's worth any amount of money. Even if it's tens of millions or hundreds of millions, I will buy it for you."
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows.
Xia Mingyao's heart moved. Besides her feelings for Xiao Yi, it was more about his "theory", which seemed to have awakened her.
Come to think of it, there are so many things and so many things, and people always have to think about giving them meaning or purpose. Actually... that's very tiring...
Several people nearby looked at Xiao Yi out of the corner of their eyes, feeling as if they were looking at a fool. His words sounded really nice, as if he could do it.
Are girls nowadays so easily deceived?
“They don’t believe it.”
Xiao Yi shrugged.
"Why bother about them? Just believe me."
Xia Mingyao said indifferently, but she still had some hope.
"From your professional perspective, is there anything we can find?"
“That’s not the case.”
Xiao Yi shook his head, having been observing for a long time.
"Maybe my standards are a bit too high? Haha."
"Well, let's just watch the fun."
Xia Mingyao said casually.
At this time, a weapon in the boss's hand once again entered the final stage of competition, and more and more people gathered here.
"Rubbish!"
Suddenly, a young man made a casual complaint, showing great disdain.
Many people were quite respectful when they saw him, but when they heard him say "rubbish", those who wanted to continue bidding gave up the idea.
The boss recognized the young man, but was too angry to say anything.
The weapon could have been auctioned for three million, but in the end the auction ended at less than two million.
"Old Joe, you've been in this town for a long time. Why are you still selling all this junk? You're really fooling me."
The young man joked.
"Ha ha……"
The two people beside me laughed loudly, which was very harsh.
"Mr. You, you are very knowledgeable. My small business is definitely not something you would consider attractive. Haha."
The boss had a smiling face, but he was actually about to cry.
He had been bullied by this You Kun many times before. He was simply his nemesis. He had always been avoiding him, but he didn't expect to meet him again today.
"Come on this."
You Kun waved his hand.
"Just bring out the best you have and let me see it!"
"This……"
The boss was in a dilemma. It's not that he didn't have the idea, but the problem was that if someone took a fancy to it, he would probably have to pay a huge loss.
"Are you deaf or dumb? If you have something good, let us brothers take a look at it first. Maybe you can sell it for a good price."
Someone next to You Kun shouted.
No one around dared to interrupt, but everyone wanted to watch the fun, and also wanted to see what treasures the boss had in his hands.
Xiao Yi remained calm, but he guessed something in his heart.
"Should we leave or stay?"
Xiao Yi thought about it and turned to look at Xia Mingyao.
"Then look again."
Xia Mingyao said.
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."
Xiao Yi responded.
"But I'm not here to watch the fun. I want to see which sect this guy came from!"
Xia Mingyao's tone changed.
