"You know who I am!" Lu Chen said this after entering with a bamboo hat.
Qiu Wenwu was wearing a luxurious purple brocade robe and a felt hat. He was holding two walnuts in his hand and kept twirling them. He was dressed like a rich man and looked at the mysterious man who walked in calmly.
"Little brother Lu Chen, I knew it was you from the moment you stepped into Vientiane City. As for how I knew your identity, you should know it very well!" Qiu Wenwu said with a smile, his smile full of kindness.
When Lu Chen heard this, he shook his head and laughed secretly. He took off his hat and took off his disguise, seemingly casually saying: "What a mistake, it seems I shouldn't have followed you here!" But deep down in his heart, he still maintained full vigilance.
He unfolded his mental perception and swept around like a spider web. There were more than a dozen obscure auras coming from the dark corners. It seemed that there were many masters hidden in this show building.
"Brother Lu, you are serious. Although your story is now well known to everyone, I, Hongye Zhai, will always be your friend, not your enemy. Don't worry about this!" Qiu Wenwu said with a smile.
Lu Chen said solemnly: "How can I trust you!"
"You don't have to believe me. You followed Brother Dugu here. That means you trust him!"
"Since you trust him, you trust me!" Qiu Wenwu said with an enigmatic smile.
Regarding Qiu Wenwu's identity, Lu Chen only knew that he was in charge of Hongye Zhai, wrote celebrity biographies, and was also the founder of the Qianlong Competition. Now he is the boss behind the Lanxiu Tower. His true identity is probably unknown.
It's as simple as it seems.
Although Hongye Zhai does not strive for world hegemony, its reputation is well-known and has been passed down for thousands of years. It is a behemoth that all forces in Kyushu dare not offend rashly.
On the surface, it seems that he has no grievances against Hongye Zhai, and with Duguxia's relationship, Qiu Wenwu should have no ill intentions towards him for the time being.
Lu Chen stared at Duguxia with strange eyes. After thinking about it, he felt that there was still some confusion in his mind. It seemed that the relationship between him and Qiu Wenwu was not as simple as imagined!
At this time, Miss Dai Qing walked over with golden lotus steps, holding a tea tray on her white and tender wrists. She poured a steaming cup of tea for Lu Chen and Dugu Xia with elegant movements. The fragrance was overflowing.
"The tea leaves are green in color, the soup is bright yellow-green, and has a refreshing fragrance. It is the finest Tieguanyin, good tea!" Duguxia picked up the tea cup and smelled it, feeling intoxicated, and couldn't help but take a few sips.
Qiu Wenwu sat aside and said with a slight smile: "I thought that Brother Dugu only knew about fine wine, but I didn't expect that he was so proficient in tea ceremony. I admire him!"
"Go away, I'm just thirsty for tea. Drinking is my only hobby in life!" Duguxia rolled his eyes.
Lu Chen looked a little confused and said: "Brother Dugu, what is your relationship with him? It should be more than just ordinary friends! Do you want to give me an explanation?"
Duguxia blew hot air, Zizi drank tea, and smiled lazily: "Oh, why are you looking at me with that look? I'm not one of those little girls outside!"
"Brother Dugu, I don't want to be deceived!" Lu Chen said in a low voice.
Duguxia seemed to see through Lu Chen's thoughts and was worried that he might have some scruples. Then he had no choice but to laugh and curse: "What are you thinking? The relationship between him and me is not as complicated as you think. It's just a tribute to their family. Eat and drink."
Drink, if I hadn't owed a lot of debt in my early years, I wouldn't have joined his pirate ship!"
Upon hearing his explanation, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly flashed with realization. He didn't expect that the truth was actually like this.
It turns out that Dugu Xia did not work for Hongye Zhai, but was a foreign worshiper of Hongye Zhai. When he was traveling around the world in his early years, he got acquainted with Qiu Wenwu and joined Hongye Zhai for some reasons.
In fact, Lu Chen should have thought long ago that with the temperament of a ranger like Dugu Xia, how could he join the Kyushu forces and dare to serve as a thug.
With his leisurely and casual temperament, how could he be bound by the rules and regulations of the world's forces?
If so, then he is not the Duguxia of Qiao Yaoke.
"Then what are you doing here this time?" Lu Chen said bluntly.
Qiu Wenwu explained on the side: "When participating in the Yibao Conference, this kind of scene always needs a few people to control the scene. Otherwise, if someone makes trouble, I can't control the situation by myself!"
"Yibao Conference?" Lu Chen frowned and said with some confusion: "What do you mean, auction? I don't understand!" This was the first time he heard that there was such a grand event in the land of Kyushu.
Qiu Wenwu shook his head and said solemnly: "It's not an auction, it's just a trade fair. However, the items traded are not ordinary gold and silver jewelry, but rare treasures in the world that are priceless and hard to find for thousands of dollars!"
"There is such a thing. It seems that I am still a little ignorant!" Lu Chen couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity when he heard what he said.
Qiu Wenwu said: "This Yibao Conference is held every year in my Lanxiu Building, but the guests who come to participate are all prominent patrons, but their tempers are not as kind as I imagined, so I have to
Find some experts to control the situation!"
"So that's it. I thought what Brother Dugu said about town-fighting was just a joke, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Senior Qiu and junior Zhang have seen it before!" Lu Chen nodded and laughed a little dumbly.
Qiu Wenwu looked at Lu Chen with great interest and said: "Brother Lu, now that you have entered the innate world, your lifespan has been increased by more than three hundred years. With your current strength and status, you and I are friends of the same generation. If you don't dislike it, in the future
Just call me Brother Qiu!"
"Since you are here, if you are interested, you might as well join us!"
Hearing this, Lu Chen was a little surprised and said, "Can I participate too?"
"Of course, with your current status and strength, you are definitely qualified to participate, but it depends on whether you have any valuable treasures!" Qiu Wenwu nodded and smiled lightly.
When Lu Chen heard this, his heart moved: "It's a treasure that I can get, and I just have a magic weapon in my hand. I might as well try it!"
"Brother Qiu, are there any rules for this Yibao Conference?"
Seeing his excited expression, Qiu Wenwu couldn't help but smile: "There is a rule, that is, each person takes out a treasure, puts it on this round table, and exchanges it with each other, bartering!"
"Treasure for treasure?" Lu Chen asked.
Qiu Wenwu hummed: "Yes, that's right! Ordinary gold and silver treasures are very tempting to ordinary people. But to those absolute masters who stand at the top, they are just common things, and they will not even take a look!
The truly valuable treasures are the most attractive. However, when exchanging treasures, no one can show their faces. They can only stand in the partition and exchange! As for the treasures, it depends on what each person can bring to impress others.
.”
"But one thing you have to remember is that the people who came to attend the Yibao Conference are all famous figures in Kyushu. They saw some rare treasures, so don't have any evil thoughts!"
Lu Chen smiled with an excited expression: "If you use your wrong ideas, I'm afraid this conference will be disrupted. If it doesn't go well, it will even turn Vientiane City upside down!"
"Well, that's right, now you know why I called Brother Dugu over!" Qiu Wenwu said with a gentle smile.
Lu Chen nodded: "I understand. This kind of grand event does need a few powerful people to control the event. Otherwise, if someone makes trouble during the period, it will not end well!"
"Okay, it's almost time. The big shots will be here soon. You can go find a partition and sit there! It doesn't matter if you don't have any treasures, just watch!" Qiu Wenwu said, pointing to the eight partitions around the room.
Following what the other party pointed out, he looked around and was surprised to find that there were eight other partitions around this spacious room, and the door was blocked by a blue gauze curtain.
Sitting inside, you can see the scene outside, but you cannot see the scene inside, which is quite strange.
The partitions are arranged according to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, which are Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen and Dui!
Without thinking about it, Lu Chen walked into Qianzi Pavilion and slowly sat down cross-legged!
Dugu Xia, on the other hand, yawned and said: "Old boy, it's not fun here. I'll go downstairs and take a walk. You can play by yourselves!" With that, he left the top floor.
Qiu Wenwu shook his head and smiled helplessly.
After a while, Lu Chen, who was sitting in Qianzi Pavilion, clearly sensed that strong auras appeared one after another in other partitioned rooms in the room.
Quietly, like a nightingale swooping into their own yard, without making a sound. Obviously, they should all be familiar with the rules of the Yibao Conference.
These breaths are either as cold as snow, or as hot as fire, or as gentle as wind, or as thick as the earth, and those who come are all innately strong!
Oh my God, this small Lanxiu Building is usually quiet and quiet, but so many top experts came all of a sudden. It seems that this Yibao Conference is indeed very attractive!
Lu Chen calculated that in addition to himself, plus Qiu Wenwu himself, there were eight innate experts in this Yibao Conference.
Such a powerful force is enough to conquer any power in the world and should not be underestimated.
It's scary to think about it.
"Dear distinguished guests, we are here to welcome you from afar. It can be said that the Lanxiu Tower is full of glory. I'm glad to meet you!" Qiu Wenwu seemed to be used to such scenes. He bowed his hands around and talked to the guests very familiarly. They communicated enthusiastically.
"I, Qiu Wenwu, I will host this Yibao Conference. I believe that everyone knows the rules of the Yibao Conference!"
At this moment, a harsh voice suddenly resounded in the room: "Master Qiu, there's no need for greetings. It's always some repetitive nonsense. Let's start the Yibao Conference right away! Don't waste everyone's time!"
Qiu Wenwu looked up and looked in the direction. He didn't look embarrassed. Instead, he smiled and said: "It turns out he is a guest of Duizi Pavilion. He still talks like the same, fast and fast!"
"In this case, I won't say any more nonsense. This time I have a treasure for you to appreciate and appreciate. Let's wait and see!" Qiu Wenwu said and pressed the hidden grid on the circular cutting board.
Click, click, and a series of sounds of rotating mechanisms were heard, and a rectangular treasure box slowly rose up on the circular cutting board. There were hollow birds and animals around it, as well as the sun, moon and stars, which looked quite mysterious.
