Chapter 288 There is something wrong with the aroma
Seeing that it was approaching eight o'clock, Bai Ningyu stopped distributing lucky bags. Instead, she simply packed up and went out to the auction house.
The auction hall is a huge circular structure with an auction table in the center and layers of private rooms around it.
Looking around, there are probably thousands of private rooms in this auction hall.
When Bai Ningyu arrived, she found that the lights in most of the private rooms were already on.
Then, she followed the guidance of the etiquette lady and entered a private room.
As soon as you enter the private room, you will see the extremely luxurious sandalwood tables and chairs, and even the calligraphy and paintings used for decoration are authentic.
The table was laid with a variety of exquisite fruits and snacks, and a huge screen on the wall projected everything on the display stand.
Bai Ningyu had just sat down when, moments later, a hostess brought spiritual tea and placed it on her table.
The aroma of tea is refreshing and invigorating, and the rich spiritual power fluctuations make you know at the first sniff that this is definitely a rare treasure.
The fact that Sky Island takes out such good things to entertain guests shows that Sky Island’s strength is extraordinary.
This also indirectly reflects that the auction can bring huge benefits to Sky Island.
After all, these thousands of people are all genuine buyers.
They all came for the items at the Sky Island Auction. There was not a single person acting as a shill, and not a trace of water mixed in.
Bai Ningyu chatted with netizens in a casual manner.
Just then, she suddenly heard some quarrel outside.
When I stood up and looked, I saw that it was the fat man and his group who were confronting three other people.
The other party was an older foreigner, accompanied by two people with special abilities.
The two sides seemed to have some grudge against each other, and sparks flew when their eyes met, but due to the rules of Sky Island, neither side took action.
The fat man and his group were arranged to stay in the box next to Bai Ningyu, while the foreigner was arranged to stay in the box next to the fat man.
Suddenly, Bai Ningyu felt a chill, and a sense of danger inexplicably surged into her heart.
Bai Ningyu couldn't help but frown. She released her spiritual sense and probed the entire auction venue.
The people in the surrounding boxes were all discussing the items to be auctioned soon. Only the group that had just clashed with the fat man and his group were planning to snatch some treasure from them.
Bai Ningyu did not notice anything unusual in the entire auction venue.
But where did this fleeting sense of danger come from? As he was wondering, there was a knock on the door of the box.
Bai Ningyu got up and opened the door, only to see Qiu Zixiao pushing Qiu Mengmeng, who was in a wheelchair, standing outside the box.
This action attracted the attention of many people present.
Qiu Zixiao narrowed his eyes, revealing a seductive smile, and asked in a very pleasant voice, "Do you mind if I bring my sister along? Don't worry, I won't come here in vain. If you have anything you like, tell me and I'll consider it a gift to you."
Qiu Mengmeng, who was sitting in a wheelchair, also responded, "Yes, yes, benefactor, my brother is very rich. Just tell him what you like."
Afraid that Bai Ningyu would not agree, Qiu Mengmeng said coquettishly, "Please, host, just let me accompany you. It's just to entertain you. If you think my brother is not a good person, then I will let him go and we can stay together."
As she spoke, Bai Ningyu seemed to be able to see a gleam of pleading in Qiu Mengmeng's eyes.
Her fair and cute face, coupled with a pitiful look, is like a little white rabbit wagging its tail to beg for mercy from Bai Ningyu, making people unable to refuse her.
However, Qiu Zixiao, who was standing by, couldn't help but twitch his cheeks after hearing what his sister said.
He looked at his sister in disbelief. She actually abandoned him just to be with Bai Ningyu. She is really his good sister!
Qiu Mengmeng naturally also felt the chill emanating from her brother. She then stuck out her tongue and gave two awkward laughs.
Then I thought to myself, I'm sorry, brother. Compared to you, beautiful women are more cost-effective. Who doesn't like to be with beautiful women?
Since there was nothing else to do, Bai Ningyu agreed to their request and invited them into the box.
When netizens in the live broadcast room saw the handsome men and beautiful women coming, the atmosphere became much more lively.
Qiu Zixiao, a handsome guy with a sickly and charming appearance, attracted many girls in the live broadcast room to scream.
[Look, it's Mr. Qiu! He's so alluring! If I could have a relationship with such a handsome guy, I'd have no regrets in my life!]
[The guy above, how much did you drink? You're talking nonsense so quickly?]
[That's right, he's not only a talisman master, but also the eldest son of Sky Island. The young mistress must have been chosen long ago. How could it be your turn?]
Seeing the discussion about her brother in the live broadcast room, Qiu Mengmeng showed a sweet and lovely smile and said, "No, there is no internal decision, my brother doesn't have a girlfriend yet.
The conditions for being my brother's girlfriend are very simple, as long as my brother likes you, so you still have a chance!"
As she spoke, Qiu Mengmeng looked at Qiu Zixiao: "Right, brother."
Unexpectedly, Qiu Zixiao did not deny it. His eyes swept towards Bai Ningyu vaguely, then he touched Qiu Mengmeng's head and hummed softly.
In the live broadcast room, netizens instantly became excited.
Zhan Tianhe [Hiss, that's not right.]
What's wrong? Is there something wrong?
Zhan Tianhe: "I mean, the expression on Mr. Qiu's face when he looked at the anchor just now was not right. Mr. Qiu, you don't like our anchor, do you?"
Gu Nanxijiang [No! I don't agree to this marriage! Young Master Qiu can be someone else's, but the anchor must be ours!]
【…】
Bai Ningyu looked at the netizens who were already discussing this matter in full swing, and was speechless for a moment.
She glanced at Qiu Zixiao suspiciously, but at this time, Qiu Zixiao had returned to his usual smiling expression and there was nothing unusual.
So Bai Ningyu said helplessly: "Put aside your imagination. The anchor is practicing the ruthless way. Don't love me. It's fruitless.
If you guys were so startled, I wouldn’t dare let the handsome guy in to show you.”
After hearing what Bai Ningyu said, netizens said that they would not make random guesses in the future, but if there were any handsome guys, they would definitely share them with them.
Fortunately, it was already eight o'clock and netizens' attention began to turn to the auction, so they didn't continue what was going on.
Qiu Mengmeng looked at Bai Ningyu with her big eyes, then at her brother, and sighed helplessly in her heart.
She wailed, "Brother, it's your own fault that you can't win the heart of the beautiful anchor. As her sister, I can't do anything about it."
The beautiful auctioneer stood on the auction platform on time, gave an opening speech, and soon entered the auction session.
At the beginning, there were only some fourth-grade medicinal pills and many low-grade magical weapons, but even so, they were quickly snatched up.
A fifth-grade elixir even required a high-grade spirit stone to be exchanged. Bai Ningyu was shocked when she heard this.
If she didn't have space, there would be no use taking spirit stones. She would have wanted to throw out a few bottles of fifth or sixth grade pills at this moment.
When the auction was more than halfway through, everyone noticed that the people in two boxes seemed to be arguing with each other.
Every time the fat guy and his friends took a fancy to something, the foreigners next door would start to bid unreasonably high prices, which made the fat guy very angry, because there were some unpopular items among them that he could get a bargain on.
Bai Ningyu just released her spiritual sense and discovered that there was a person with excellent hearing ability next to the foreigner.
It was probably this psychic who heard the conversation between Fatty and the others, so he started to snatch things from them.
Bai Ningyu quickly edited a text message and sent it to the fat man.
After the fat man and his companions saw the text message, they also knew the reason. So the fat man and the man surnamed Wu looked at each other and started talking nonsense, causing the foreigner to spend a lot of money in vain.
When the foreigner came to his senses and realized that he had been fooled, he could only curse a few times in frustration and did not dare to continue bargaining with the fat man. Who knew if he was trying to trick him again.
Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, the mummy, along with the complete coffin, was slowly lifted up by the elevator and transported up.
At this moment, there was a click, and then a faint fragrance floated into everyone's nose.
Bai Ningyu's eyes widened instantly, she cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" She quickly held her breath and said to Qiu Zixiao, "There's something wrong with this scent! Get someone out of here!"
