"Old enemy, you are really a treasure hidden in a golden house. No wonder you have become sallow and skinny these days. Can't you help but try a few bites first!" A man with thick eyebrows and sweating grin said with a mouth full of gold teeth.
"Boss Qiu, it's not like you don't want to play any more, just take it out and share it with everyone!"
"Haha, Boss Qiu is really generous!"
There was a burst of laughter in the lobby, and everyone winked at Qiu Wanjun, with faces full of teasing and ridicule.
"Everyone is kidding!" Qiu Wanjun covered his mouth and coughed a little nonchalantly, laughing warmly.
"This peerless woman was bought by me, Linglong Pavilion, from a gang of bandits. I am not sharing this beauty with you, please don't get me wrong!"
"Everyone knows that no matter what the reason for obtaining the treasure itself, our Linglong Pavilion always only cares about profit!"
"The purpose of the treasure in my hands is to create revenue for Linglong Pavilion!"
"Things that are worthless are worthless to me, Linglong Pavilion!"
"As you can see, this young woman is very beautiful, elegant, dignified, and charming!"
"I heard from my subordinates that this young woman also knows how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as play, play and sing. She is proficient in everything!"
"If you buy her back and use her as a bed-warming maid, and train her carefully, that would not be a beautiful thing!"
"Everyone, please bid!"
"If you miss it, you will have no chance!"
Hearing what Qiu Wanjun said, the guests in the lobby suddenly showed understanding smiles.
This Linglong Pavilion really does all sorts of tricks in order to win over its guests. No wonder it has been so prosperous in Niujiao City. Qiu Wanjun, as the official leader, does have his own skills.
"In that case, if I offer five hundred gold, I will treat it as a wife!"
"No one can compete with me, Mr. Liu, for a thousand gold coins!" An old man in his sixties stared at the stunning woman on the high platform with lewd eyes, his face as old as an orange peel turned red with excitement.
"Old man Liu, you are so old that half of your body is almost buried in the soil, but you still have the energy to enjoy such stunning beauty!" A rough sweater behind him couldn't help but sneer.
The sixty-year-old old man snorted and paid no attention to it, but his hazy eyes kept wandering around the young woman on the high platform.
This reaction made everyone present laugh.
When Lu Chen saw this scene, he couldn't help but secretly sigh: "This Linglong Pavilion really dares to auction anything. Even women dare to be used as goods for auction. It hides evil and evil, and there is no bottom line!"
When Zhao Xiaozhu next to him saw the woman in blue, his expression suddenly became anxious, and his eyes were full of pity: "This young lady is so pitiful. She is actually locked in a cage and treated like an animal. These people are really abominable. Are they just...
Don’t you have any humanity at all?”
Lu Chen glanced at Zhao Xiaozhu and said calmly: "There are too many poor people in this world. In troubled times, anything can happen, and there is nothing to make a fuss about!"
Zhao Xiaozhu stared at the imprisoned woman in blue, with a trace of sadness in his eyes: "I don't know what happened, but when I saw this sister, I suddenly thought of my sister!"
"Your sister?" Lu Chen glanced at Zhao Xiaozhu in surprise.
Zhao Xiaozhu nodded and said with red eyes: "Yes, when I was very young, my sister was kidnapped by bandits for going up the mountain to collect medicine, and her whereabouts are still unknown!"
"The bandits captured my sister. My parents cried so hard that they couldn't find her after looking for her for a long time."
"My sister is only two or four years older. If she were still alive, she would be about the same age as this young sister!"
"I heard from the old people in the village that when bandits capture a woman, there are usually two ways to deal with it!"
"One way is to take her back to the village to be your wife!"
"The second type will be sold to brothels for the entertainment of those noble men!"
"Perhaps there are more tragic experiences than this!"
"Anyway, in Canglan Continent, women captured by bandits often end up miserable!"
When Lu Chen heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
In troubled times, the people who live the hardest are always those living at the lowest level.
In order to survive, in order to survive in this troubled world.
Selling sons and daughters, tragedies abound in the world, and there is no way to control them!
Lu Chen had also seen those poor people with miserable life experiences, who had more than enough ambition but insufficient power. It was not enough for him alone to change this troubled world.
"Let's go! Let's get out of here!" Lu Chen said indifferently, a little disinterested, and prepared to get up and leave Linglong Pavilion.
When Zhao Xiaozhu saw Lu Chen was about to leave, he ignored him and suddenly became anxious and said: "Let's leave now!"
"Well, if you don't leave, why are you staying?" Lu Chen laughed dumbly.
Zhao Xiaozhu said worriedly: "If we leave, what will happen to this young lady? Are we going to let these beasts destroy and defile her?"
When Lu Chen heard this, he couldn't help but frown: "What, what are you going to do? Are you going to meddle in other people's business?"
"Sir, please save this young lady, she is so pitiful!" Zhao Xiaozhu clutched Chen Lu's clothes, his expression full of pleading.
After all, Zhao Xiaozhu is a young man who came from a farm. He has a simple and kind nature, and he would never tolerate bullying the poor people.
When he looked at the young woman who was auctioned as goods by Linglong Pavilion, he couldn't help but think of his sister who was captured by bandits many years ago.
The same experience deeply touched his soul.
Seeing Zhao Xiaozhu's pitiful appearance as he begged, and then looking at the miserable-looking woman in blue skirt, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel compassion for him.
"Okay, then save her!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda!
This is to accumulate virtue and do good, so why not do it.
"Five thousand gold, haha, this woman belongs to me!"
"What a beautiful thought, six thousand gold, she belongs to me, uncle!"
.....
In the lobby, the bidding sounds continued one after another. Looking at Tianxiang Guose curled up in the wooden cage, each one seemed to have been given a shot of blood, scrambling for the first place, and seemed very excited.
Many people think of how enjoyable it would be to hold a ball of warm-smelling nephrite in their arms at night.
The woman in a blue skirt curled up in a wooden cage looked at a group of men like wolves and tigers below, vying to bid and bid for herself.
Her pair of autumn-green eyes were full of despair and hesitation, and two lines of tears couldn't help but fall from the corners of her eyes. Her whole body was trembling with fear.
At this moment, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded in the noisy lobby, drowning out everyone's voices in an instant.
"One hundred thousand gold!"
Hearing this sound, the entire lobby was shocked. They could hear a pin drop, and they all turned to look at the source of the bidder.
However, the bidder was obviously sitting in front, less than five feet away from Qiu Wanjun. When everyone looked at him, their vision was blurred.
It was as if the whole person was hidden in the fog, and it was impossible to see clearly what he looked like.
In order to prevent others from remembering him, Lu Chen secretly manipulated the power of heaven and earth to quietly distort the surrounding space, so when others looked at him, the surrounding light was distorted, causing everything they saw to be blurry.
"Hey, this guest is a bit unfamiliar, why haven't I seen him before?" Qiu Wanjun looked at the thin figure in front of him and said with some surprise.
One hundred thousand gold is the price of one export. Such arrogance is simply a sign of wealth and extraordinary status. Most people would not pay such an amount. Who is this person? He is not afraid of being hated by others if he loses their face?
This person either comes from one of the five major families, or is a strong hermit. Otherwise, he just ran wild in Linglong Pavilion because he was too short-lived.
"The light in the hall is so dim, we should ask people to prepare a few more lamps in advance!" Qiu Wanjun looked at the blurry figure hidden in the darkness in front of him in surprise. When he heard the voice, he felt strange in his heart, and he couldn't distinguish it for a while.
Without revealing the identity of the other party, I was secretly confused.
After Lu Chen made his bid, the entire lobby fell silent.
One hundred thousand gold in one breath, so rich and powerful, it is really scary.
What's the reason? Such a loud tone?
Everyone was frightened by his arrogant behavior. No one else dared to bid for such a large sum of money.
Because although the donors here have money and background, no matter how rich they are, they will not squander it so wantonly.
You know, although the woman in the blue dress is extremely beautiful, her worth is far from that level.
For these distinguished guests, spending 100,000 gold to auction a woman is really not cost-effective. It is better to go to the brothels outside to redeem a few oirans and go back to have fun.
"This guest bids 100,000 gold, who else can bid higher than him!" Qiu Wanjun thought he had met a big customer. He was so excited that he swept his eyes across the audience and shouted.
The donors in the lobby looked at each other, looking at each other.
Many people are secretly muttering, who is this? He is so rich and rich. Spending one hundred thousand gold to buy a woman is too extravagant. If people outside know about this, it will definitely be a rare thing that shocks the entire Niujiao City.
Many people are wondering, is this woman so valuable?
Who would be so generous?
After a while in the lobby, no one continued to speak.
One hundred thousand gold is a huge expense for a wealthy family.
What's more, the total net worth of the guests who come to Linglong Pavilion to participate in the auction may not necessarily be as high as this.
Who dares to be taken advantage of?
Even if there were, probably no one would dare to pay such a high price.
But Lu Chen dared to shout, but he had no money.
If he wants to save someone now, there are too many methods he can use.
"Since no one bids anymore, the highest bidder will get it, and this peerless woman will belong to this gentleman. Please go to the back hall to settle the bill later!" Qiu Wanjun pointed at Lu Chen and said with a smile, thinking that he had received a big deal.
People are smiling and their faces are full of spring breeze.
Lu Chen sat on the chair with a calm expression, a sneer rising from the corner of his mouth.
Zhao Xiaozhu next to him clenched his fists excitedly, his face full of joy.
When the woman on the high platform heard Qiu Wanjun's loud laughter, her beautiful face was filled with depression and bitterness.
At this moment, she didn't know that her fate had been quietly rewritten by one person.
