Chapter 218 I'm 52!
I don’t know why, but Wu Xuefeng is coming back to the world. This jade pendant is to find a backer for myself.
However, now that he is wanted by the Chen family, who dares to take him in?
"The base price of the jade pendant is one thousand taels of silver."
After the words fell, there was silence on the field.
This jade pendant can be exchanged for at least one favor from Wu Fengxue.
If we talk about three or four years ago, let alone the base price of one thousand taels of silver, even if it was the base price of ten thousand taels of silver, countless wealthy families would rush to grab it.
But now that Wu Xuefeng is lonely, his favor is worthless.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
Time passes slowly, and the auction deadline is coming soon. But so far, no one dares to bid.
The commentator on the stage was still explaining hard, but the audience was in chaos, speculating on Wu Fengxue's current state, and no one paid attention to the jade pendant.
At the back of the auction venue, a man in black clothes and a cloak sighed when he saw this.
Under the cloak, there is a face that looks slightly weathered.
Sure enough, this method doesn’t work?
Thinking back on how brilliant he was back then, when a ghost was born, the eight major families in the capital rushed to have him as their guest. But now, there is not even a place to stay.
Thinking about it, Wu Xuefeng stood up and walked outside the auction venue.
That's all, everyone has his own life.
Everyone in the audience was discussing the impermanence of the world, and no one noticed him.
"This Wu Xuefeng is so pitiful. Thinking of how glorious the year was, now a favor can't even be sold for a thousand taels of silver."
"Haha, let alone a thousand taels, even if it is just one tael, no one dares to ask for this favor."
"Not only will I not get any money this time, but my position may also be exposed, which will make life even more difficult in the future."
Time gradually passed and the auction was about to end when a voice suddenly sounded from the front row.
"I'll pay five thousand taels!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence on the field, and everyone looked towards the front.
The person bidding was none other than Lin Xiaofan.
Seeing this, everyone present was stunned, even Wen Yue on the side was stunned.
Didn't I explain it to the master just now?
If you take this jade pendant, you will become the enemy of the Chen family.
Moreover, this jade pendant costs less than five thousand taels of silver!
"Master, in the situation just now, we can win it with one thousand taels of silver, so why five thousand taels! Moreover, now that Wu Xuefeng has declined, if you accept this favor from him, you may suffer retaliation from the Chen family in the capital, and the gain outweighs the loss. !”
Wen Yue reacted and spoke anxiously:
"Master, you are now claiming that the price was wrong. I will ask my father to go to the auction to explain the situation. There is still hope of returning this jade pendant. As a wealthy family in the capital, the Chen family will not pursue it even if they think about it."
With that said, Wen Yue stood up and was about to take Lin Xiaofan away. But the latter seemed to be dumbfounded and stood motionless.
As for the people around him, they looked at Lin Xiaofan as if they were a fool.
These people present obviously did not dare to offend the Chen family and made a rash offer.
In this case, you only need to quote a low price to win, so why spend an extra four thousand taels of silver?
Moreover, the relationship between the Chen family and Wu Xuefeng is so bad, this favor is not so easy for him to bear.
"Who is this person? Why does it feel like there is something missing in my head? How can a person like this be in the second row?"
"I've never seen him before. He looks about sixteen or seventeen years old. He should be a junior from one of the four major families. I'm afraid he will be expelled from the clan with this move."
"No, this person is not from the four major families, this person is Counselor Lin."
"Counselor Lin? That Counselor Lin who made several strategies and defeated the [-] coalition troops? How could he be so young?"
"That's him. Yesterday I heard that he went to the Wen family. Look at the person next to him, she is the eldest lady of the Wen family. Besides, when have you ever seen such a person in the direct line of the four major families?"
"Counsel Lin is extremely intelligent with his unique knowledge. It's a pity that if he offends the Chen family, the future will be miserable."
"Oh, what a pity."
Lin Xiaofan ignored the glances around him, a smile appeared on his lips, and explained to Wen Yue:
"The reason for offering five thousand taels of silver is because his favor is worth this price. As for the Chen family, others may be afraid of it, but it's not easy for me."
When the Chen family was mentioned, Lin Xiaofan's eyes showed a hint of chill.
He had never provoked the Chen family before, but because of Lian Nu's incident, the Chen family sent people to assassinate him several times.
Sooner or later, he will take revenge.
Seeing Lin Xiaofan's determination, Wen Yue stopped what she was doing and felt a little confused about Lin Xiaofan for a while.
She could understand offending the Qing family. After all, Lin Xiaofan had just arrived in Lifeng Town and did not know the strength of the Qing family. Moreover, after experiencing the Qingzhou battle, Lin Xiaofan would also receive a reward, so it was normal for him to have some confidence when facing the Qing family.
But Lin Xiaofan must know the strength of the Chen family in the capital.
Anyone who dares to offend someone from the Chen family is either really stupid or really has deep cards.
Since Lin Xiaofan can dominate the Qingzhou battlefield, he must not be the former.
But if it was the latter, it would be too terrifying.
You know, the Chen family is one of the best families in the entire Daqian Kingdom.
Not to mention Qingzhou, even in Daqian, the number of people who can compete with their family can be counted on one hand.
At the door of the auction house, Wu Xuefeng had not yet left. After hearing the offer, he stood there stupidly, with a faint light shining in his eyes.
If you look carefully, you will find that the light is tears.
Ten years, ten whole years!
After being hunted by the Chen family, he spent ten years in a remote mountain village in Qingzhou incognito with the help of his friends.
In the past ten years, he married a wife, had children, farmed the land, and lived like an ordinary person.
In fact, he sometimes forgets his extraordinary abilities.
Until recently, the Chen family discovered his whereabouts through some clues and sent a killer to assassinate him.
But the good thing is that several of his old friends in the capital reminded him and asked him to take his family and escape there first.
But his whereabouts have been exposed, how can he avoid the Chen family's pursuit? After wandering around for a long time, he came to Lifeng Town.
After seeing Zhenbao Pavilion, he was desperate and decided to auction the jade pendant, hoping to find someone who was not afraid of the Chen family to take him in.
However, no one has ever quoted a price, which makes him frustrated.
Also, even for an ordinary monthly auction, the only people who came were people from Lifeng County, so how could anyone dare to take him in?
Just when he was desperate, the jade pendant was bought by someone.
Thinking about it, tears filled his eyes.
However, this person may have to face revenge from the Chen family in the future. And he was also in danger.
Thinking about it, he sighed again, suppressed his desire to see the man, and left the auction house first.
