In Dou Qi Continent, One Talent Trait a Day Chapter 47

"Don't!"

Yun Yun hurriedly pressed down on his restless hand. A faint blush colored her pretty face, but her refusal was firm.

"I'm a little tired today... and it still hurts there..."

Her lovely face carried a touch of pitiful vulnerability, both intoxicating and heart-wrenching.

Seeing her like this, Xu Qi could not bear to continue tormenting her. He could only say, "All right. Then get some proper rest."

He restrained himself and turned over to sleep on the other side.

"Xu Qi, tonight really isn't possible... If you want to go to the auction, then go ahead."

Perhaps feeling apologetic for dampening Xu Qi's mood, Yun Yun took the initiative to suggest that he attend the auction.

"It's fine. Since you're tired, you should rest properly. I'm fine." Xu Qi smiled and stroked her soft, silky hair.

"You should still go. Otherwise, I'll feel guilty..." Yun Yun said.

"It's not really a matter of whether I go or not. The main thing is, even if I went, I wouldn't have any money to buy anything... Ahem." Xu Qi looked a little embarrassed.

Yun Yun: "..."

She shot Xu Qi an irritated glare.

So this had been Xu Qi's real goal all along?

The dagger had finally been revealed?

But hadn't he laid out this map for far too long??

"I left in a hurry and didn't bring much money. There are three or four million gold coins in this. It should be enough for you to spend." Yun Yun helplessly took out an exquisite Purple Crystal Card from her Storage Ring and held it out to Xu Qi.

Xu Qi: "??!!!"

Three or four million was not much?!

"Yun'er, so you're a rich woman!"

Xu Qi eagerly took the Purple Crystal Card and kissed Yun Yun on the cheek.

"Yun'er, I love you!"

It had merely been something Xu Qi blurted out without thinking.

But to Yun Yun, it meant something entirely different.

That was far too straightforward...

"Get out already!"

She hurriedly pushed Xu Qi outside and shut the door.

With the Purple Crystal Card in hand, Xu Qi quickly headed toward the location of the Miter Auction House as described by the others.

This was the Miter Auction House's first auction in Mo City, and its reputation resounded throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Thus, everyone in Mo City flocked there by name, pouring into the auction house like a tide.

There had originally been no entry requirements for this auction. But as more and more people arrived, the Miter Auction House began to worry that if this continued, the only ones who showed up would be penniless paupers.

It would be troublesome if all the wealthy people were squeezed outside and unable to enter.

So later on, the auction house hastily added an entry qualification check, opening VIP seating and ordinary seating.

By the time Xu Qi arrived, a long queue had already formed at the entrance, stretching beyond sight.

"So many people!"

Xu Qi realized that he had underestimated the Miter Auction House's influence.

Fortunately, the long line was only for the ordinary entrance. The VIP entrance had no long queue at all; it could even be described as having very few people.

Without a second thought, Xu Qi walked over to the VIP entrance.

"Sorry, the VIP passage requires qualification verification. You must either have a Dou Ling in your family, be a Da Dou Shi yourself, or possess assets worth at least five hundred thousand."

As the gatekeeper spoke, he looked at Xu Qi with a trace of disdain.

In his view, Xu Qi did not meet any of those three requirements.

Xu Qi did not care about their contempt.

He neither took out the Purple Crystal Card Yun Yun had given him, worth three or four million, nor revealed his Dou Wang aura.

Instead, he simply pulled a jade pendant bearing the Cloud Pattern Silver Sword from his robes—the disciple jade pendant of the Misty Cloud Sect!

Ordinary disciples did not possess such a pendant.

But Xu Qi was different.

He was a manager of the Misty Cloud Sect's Dou Qi Pavilion, his status only one rank below that of an elder, so he possessed this pendant.

The moment the jade pendant appeared... the staff member, who had looked thoroughly displeased with Xu Qi just moments before, underwent a complete change in expression.

"You're a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect?!"

He was someone the Miter Auction House had brought from the imperial capital. He had seen much and knew at a glance that it was a Misty Cloud Sect jade pendant.

He simply had not expected to encounter a Misty Cloud Sect disciple here.

And one look was enough to tell that this was no ordinary pendant.

After all, ordinary Misty Cloud Sect disciples could not obtain a jade pendant representing the Misty Cloud Sect like this.

Only true disciples or disciples with especially high status were qualified to possess such a pendant.

Clearly, Xu Qi was no ordinary Misty Cloud Sect disciple.

"So, am I qualified to enter now?"

Xu Qi put away the jade pendant and spoke indifferently.

"Of course you are. Please come in!"

The guard hurriedly stepped aside and opened the passage for Xu Qi.

If even someone from the Misty Cloud Sect was not qualified to enter, then who was?

Although the Miter Auction House was the largest auction house in the Jia Ma Empire,

it still fell somewhat short compared to the Misty Cloud Sect, the number one sect.

Following the VIP passage, Xu Qi entered the auction house and arrived at the VIP section on the third floor.

The first and second floors were ordinary seating, packed tightly together amid a bustling sea of people and deafening chatter.

The third floor and above were VIP sections. Every seat was a private room with excellent soundproofing, on an entirely different level from the seats below.

Not long after Xu Qi sat down in his room, a clear gong rang throughout the auction house, and everyone immediately fell silent.

On the auction stage, a beautiful woman slowly emerged, dressed in a red qipao that wrapped around her graceful, voluptuous figure, exuding mature charm.

The moment she appeared, she immediately drew the blazing gazes of the entire audience.

The woman onstage smiled sweetly and spoke in a seductive, enchanting voice.

"Welcome, everyone, to the Miter Auction House's first auction in Mo City."

"I am the host of this auction, Ya Fei!"
