Chapter 217 Ordinary Jade
Seeing that Lin Xiaofan looked indifferent and didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all, Wen Yue sighed.
Forget it, I'll arrange a few secret guards around me to protect Lin Xiaofan later, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Before I knew it, nearly half of the seats in the auction hall were filled with people.
Two more young women sat in the second row. They looked almost the same, and they should be twins.
"Those two women are the two daughters of the housekeeper."
Wenyue introduced in a low voice.
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly. When these two people saw Wen Yue, they didn't say hello, which showed that the relationship between the two families was not very good.
Not long after, the long bell rang again, and three people walked out of the darkness. The leader was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman with heavy makeup on her face and a curvy figure. Behind it, two guards held a wooden box and placed it on the auction table.
"Thank you for coming, the auction has officially begun!"
The woman's loud voice echoed throughout the venue, and the wooden box in front of her was opened, revealing a pearl inside.
"This pearl is..."
Most of the items sold at the auction were treasures and jewelry, and Lin Xiaofan had no interest in these.
On the contrary, Wen Yue on the side was very excited and bought one thing after another.
The two women who were housekeepers did not show any weakness and bought a lot of jewelry. However, the two parties have a tacit agreement not to bid. As long as one of them bids, the other will not raise the price any higher.
Lin Xiaofan sat there with his eyes closed throughout the whole process. The scene of the auction was completely different from what he had imagined.
He imagined that the auction should be a lively atmosphere, with countless people fighting for the same item.
Maybe it's because nothing good has appeared. The atmosphere here is like a turn-based game. One person makes a quote, and it takes a long time for the other person to quote again.
As one auction item after another was sold, the appearance of a jade pendant finally caught Lin Xiaofan's attention.
Different from the gorgeousness of other gold and silver jewelry, this jade pendant is ordinary and the material is ordinary medium jade.
But as soon as it appeared, it attracted everyone's attention.
The auction items have been screened by the auction officials, and each item must have its own value.
This jade pendant looks ordinary, and if it can still appear at an auction, it must have something special about it.
Sure enough, the commentator's next words caused an uproar in the entire auction house.
"This jade pendant belongs to Wu Xuefeng, a former famous craftsman in our country."
"Famous craftsman Wu Xuefeng?"
"This name is so familiar. Is he the man who forged the magic weapon Gui Xie fifteen years ago?"
"I haven't heard his name for a long time. I didn't expect he was still alive."
"Ten years ago, he offended the Chen family to death. Since then, he has never appeared in the world again. I didn't expect that he would appear again at this auction."
"Ten years later, he is finally willing to show up again."
"But, what is the use of this jade pendant he auctioned? It doesn't seem to be anything special."
When Lin Xiaofan heard this, he looked confused.
What is Wu Xuefeng? How come he had never heard of this man? However, listening to people around him, this person seems to be a very capable craftsman?
"Wenyue, who is this Wu Xuefeng?"
Lin Xiaofan followed the principle of asking if you don't understand anything and spoke.
"Wu Xuefeng, one of the famous craftsmen of Daqian Country, had great strength and amazing martial arts talent since he was a child, but he devoted himself wholeheartedly to creating magical weapons. At the same time, when he was twenty-five years old, he successfully created the magical weapon Guixiao is said to be the most perfect weapon of the Daqian Kingdom in the past hundred years."
Regarding the questions raised by Lin Xiaofan, Wen Yue explained carefully:
"Later, the Chen family promised him countless benefits and accepted him as a guest of the Chen family, and he also devoted himself to building weapons in the Chen family."
"It was just ten years ago that something happened and he had a big conflict with the Chen family. In anger, he escaped from the Chen family at night. During this period, more than a dozen disciples of the Chen family tried to stop him, but he just relied on ghosts and ghosts. I broke out with superhuman force."
"Since that day, the Chen family has spread rumors that they have formed a deadly feud with Wu Xuefeng, and they will never stop fighting."
"Wu Xuefeng was kind to a famous family in the capital, so that family took him in. But the next day, the entire family suffered revenge from the Chen family. In just ten days, the property shrank by [-]%. Wu Xuefeng In order not to injure others, I took advantage of the darkness and left alone."
"Just like that, no family dared to take Wu Xuefeng in, and he disappeared without a trace in order to avoid the Chen family's pursuit."
"I just don't know why he suddenly appeared here and wanted to sell this jade pendant. Maybe he encountered some difficulties and needed money urgently."
"But with his current situation, no one would dare to ask for this jade pendant."
Wen Yue sighed, seeming to feel sorry for this generation of famous craftsmen.
After listening to Wu Xuefeng's story, Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
A famous craftsman of a generation, his own strength is nothing to say, but he is despised by all forces because he offended the Chen family.
In order not to inconvenience others, I left alone, so there was no problem with my character.
Isn't this tailor-made for him?
He and the Chen family have long been enemies, and it doesn't matter if they offend him a little more severely. And what he lacks most now are craftsmen.
Moreover, this craftsman has amazing strength, and in unusual circumstances, he can be used as a guard.
If he encounters such a person, he must take good care of it.
As for the Chen family’s revenge?
Haha, when he had no background or strength, he was not afraid of offending the Chen family. Now that he has the background of the Jian and Zhao families, and the power under his command is getting stronger and stronger, can he still be afraid of the Chen family?
In Qingzhou, it is still very difficult for the Chen family to touch him.
After a long time, the uproar at the auction venue gradually subsided. Seeing this, the commentator on the stage cleared his throat and then said:
"Everyone, this jade pendant was left with us by Wu Xuefeng three days ago. Whoever takes this jade pendant can ask him for a favor."
Hearing this, everyone finally understood the purpose of this jade pendant.
His presence is equivalent to a favor from Wu Xuefeng.
"It seems that Wu Xuefeng's life was very difficult these days after he disappeared, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of this way to make money."
One person said with some regret.
"No. This jade pendant may have another use."
"What do you mean? Isn't this just for exchanging money?"
"If you think about it carefully, with Wu Xuefeng's strength, it's not easy to make a few weapons and make a thousand taels, isn't it?"
As soon as these words came out, the people around him suddenly fell into thinking.
Yes, with Guan Fengxue's ability, how could he be short of money? Then there is only one possibility for this jade pendant.
