Chapter 8 Abyss Auction
When Ji Changan returned to the downstairs of his apartment building, he found a group of strangers wearing curiosity coming out of the gate.
The black robe covered from head to tail wrapped them all over, and the strong smell of fishy and salty sea came over, as if soaked in the seafood market for hours.
"Hey, why did the people of the sea clan come here?"
When Ji Changan was puzzled, he heard Sadi's soft reminder coming from his ears.
Sea tribe?
No wonder there is such a strong smell of sea, but why did he walk out of his own apartment building?
There are no treasures hidden in his house, and if he really thieves, there is Mr. Gu who is guarding the house upstairs, even though he may not be able to care about such trivial matters...
"Who are you, what are you doing in my house?"
With a thought, Ji Changan called out to the Black-robed Sea Clan who was about to leave.
The leader stopped and turned to look.
Ji Changan saw the rough blue face under his black robe and the extremely hidden and almost invisible fish gills on both sides of his cheeks.
"Boy Chang'an, keep it steady... This seems to be a [Saint]..."
Concerning the sea tribe in front of him, Sadi adopted the method of spiritual transmission and directly conveyed the warning to Ji Chang'an's mind.
Ji Changan frowned and glanced at the upstairs. He didn't know if Mr. Gu was staying at home or going out to walk the birds again.
If a [Saint] really wants to start, it is a lucky thing to be able to block the next move with his current strength.
A hoarse and steady voice came from the leader's mouth.
"May I ask, is it inspector Ji Chang'an?"
Sadie looked weird. The tone of this sea clan, who was suspected to be [Saint], was extremely respectful at this moment.
He was confused.
I have been staying in the Star Spirit Tower for a long time and haven’t heard of anything outside the window for a long time. What important information have I missed?
When did the East Realm become so domineering that even the [Saint] in the Sea Clan should be so respectful to an inspector who only has a restricted level?
"Is there anything you have to do with me?" Ji Changan asked back without answering.
And after getting Ji Changan's default.
The headed sea clan clenched his fist with his left hand and pounded it under his right shoulder, bowing to him, and the group behind him were in a consistent manner, and bent down to salute.
"The great king who lies high in the sky, we are messengers from [Guixu Haiguo]. Our king hopes that you can be invited to attend the abyss auction in the Haiguo next year. Your visit will be an honor for [Guixu Haiguo]!"
"…Abyss Auction?" Ji Changan said in a daze.
The headed sea clan did not stand up, but still kept bowing and said softly:
"This is a century-old grand ceremony of [The Endless Sea], and the right to host this time was taken by our king. He hopes to invite you to participate in this grand ceremony."
Ji Changan hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to refuse or agree.
Once a hundred years, it is still a grand ceremony for the entire [Endless Sea], which sounds very interesting.
But according to Uncle Zhou's intention, he was not allowed to leave the Demon City before his 18th birthday, that is, before February 12 next year.
In addition, this invitation was inexplicable, and he had never seen the king of the other party.
The other party's words "the great king who lies high in the sky" probably refer to that little brother.
After a brief thought, he decided to politely refuse.
"Promise him! Chang'an boy, promise him! This is the Abyss Auction! Even Chen Fusheng, the leader of your East Realm, was not qualified to participate before!"
The rapid and exciting words sounded in his mind.
Grandpa Chen was not qualified to participate before?
Then why did you suddenly come and invite yourself?
What did the little brother do when he occupied his body that day?
After a moment of silence, Ji Changan said calmly:
"I can't guarantee that I will attend for the moment."
The leader stood up, his blue eyes under the black robe were calm and respectful. He took out a special invitation letter from the black robe and presented it with both hands:
"This is an invitation letter to the auction and the 'key' leading to the venue. Please accept it."
“When the auction is about to be held next year, it will give you a reminder that you can bring no more than three people with you.”
"【Guixu Haiguo】 will be waiting for your visit!"
Ji Changan took the blue invitation letter, opened it and saw an extremely special complex alchemy array pattern inside.
"Have you met Grandpa Gu?" he asked suddenly.
The man in the sea clan led the line said respectfully: "The old man is also the one who was invited this time."
"Did Grandpa Gu accept it?"
"The old man has accepted it for the time being, but like you, there is no guarantee that he will visit."
Ji Changan nodded. Since Grandpa Gu has accepted it, it doesn’t matter to him.
Seeing that Ji Chang'an had accepted the invitation letter, the man in the sea breeze bowed again and said goodbye to his death.
"Good... I didn't expect that one day I would see the invitation letter from the Abyss Auction, but it was from a restricted junior...
This world has become too fast.”
After a group of sea clans left, the squirrel standing on his shoulder jumped on his feet.
"By the way... Who is Grandpa Gu you just mentioned? He can actually get an invitation letter?"
Ji Changan raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you wonder why I can get it?"
Sadie curled his lips and said, "Of course I'm confused and curious. Even when Zhou Huaizhi was at his best abroad, he couldn't receive an invitation letter from the Abyss Auction. You kid actually sat at home and someone took the initiative to send you the invitation letter."
"But the question is, if I ask you, will you tell me?"
Ji Changan said happily: "Of course not."
Although he guessed this answer, Sadie still couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
I wish I could beat this kid up when I was in full swing and teach him how to respect his elders!
At the same time, he silently repeated the second sentence of the leading sea clan in his heart.
"The great king who lies high in the sky"?
Shouldn’t such titles belong to the [Kings] level creatures from abroad?
Why does a sea clan [Saint] call Ji Chang'an, who has only limited levels?
The origin and background of this kid are probably above his previous guesses. I just hope he really recognizes Zhou Huaizhi and has a good relationship...
He sighed in his heart. Sadi, who had no way out, kept his face calm and showed no flaws.
Ji Changan held Ji Nuanshu's hand and went straight to the fifth floor and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
After getting the approval of the old man in the door, Ji Changan led Ji Nuanshu into the house.
The old man's eyes gathered on Ji Changan's shoulder for a moment, his expression remained unchanged, and he lowered his head to look at the little girl hiding behind Ji Changan.
Behind the little girl holding the corner of Chang'an's clothes with one hand, hiding behind his legs, and looking timid.
The old man's face became so beautiful.
Seeing that Mr. Gu did not take the initiative to ask, Ji Changan took the initiative to explain:
"Grandpa Gu, this is Uncle Zhou's old friend. Because of persecution, he became a current symptom and came to the Demon City with the Nuan Tree."
The old man didn't care about his first half of the sentence at all, and asked repeatedly as if he was talking to himself:
"Nanshu? Is this her name? What's her last name?"
Ji Changan coughed lightly and said, "Take my surname, Ji Nuanshu, I got her name."
"You have obtained Ji Nuanshu?" the old man repeated, and the gaze that had been unpredictable for many years finally showed ripples.
He looked at the girl hiding behind with a smile, nodded:
"This name is pretty good."
"You like it too?"
The last sentence was a question to the blond little girl.
Ji Nuanshu, who gently pulled Ji Chang'an's clothes, nodded timidly.
The old man smiled and said, "That's good."
Chapter completed!
