In Kuangsha City, on the streets, Chu Feng and his group walked slowly forward, observing the lively scene around them as they walked. Liu Chengfeng was half the proprietor and introduced him in detail from time to time.
"Kuansha City is located on the border of the Western Continent. It is a spontaneous trading center with prosperous commerce and a large population..."
"It's definitely beyond my expectations."
Chu Feng nodded secretly and kept scanning his eyes.
The street is paved with huge blue stone slabs. It is flat and wide, and it is extremely clean. There are many shops on both sides of the road, and there is an endless stream of customers coming in and out.
Turning around to look at the passers-by, my eyes were even more enlightened. This place is located on the edge of the desert, and the temperature during the day is unbearably hot. Therefore, the customs are open. Most of the men are naked from the waist down, revealing their strong bronze bodies. As for the women, they only wear tops and bottoms.
Two extremely short dresses, barely covering key parts.
Such hot attire naturally attracted too much attention, especially the men in the escort team. They had been holding back for too long and had long since revealed their wolf-like eyes without any scruples. The women seemed to be used to it and showed off boldly.
There is no hint of shyness in her seductive figure.
"These bastards are so worthless." Liu Chengfeng cursed with a smile, but was not really angry and continued,
"The folk customs here are relatively open. If Mr. Chu is interested, I can make arrangements."
"never mind."
Chu Feng shook his head slightly and directly rejected the other party's kindness.
The Kuangsha City branch of Yongfeng Escort Agency is located in a remote street. Unlike the noisy outside, the environment here is obviously much quieter.
The group of people stopped in front of a certain house and turned around to see the name of the escort agency engraved on the door plaque.
"It's finally here."
Liu Chengfeng sighed softly, his expression even more inexplicably relaxed. Obviously, he was no less stressed than anyone else, but he just endured it without showing it.
There were people standing guard outside the door. Naturally, they had already noticed the arrival of the escort team and reported the news back immediately. At this time, the door to the helm had been opened, and several figures walked out one after another.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a somewhat plump figure. When he saw the person coming, he immediately smiled and said:
"Mr. Liu, the bodyguard has returned safely. Congratulations. The room is ready. Please come in quickly."
"Master Zhou is determined." Liu Chengfeng's expression was calm, with a hint of arrogance. Obviously, his status was much higher than that of the middle-aged man.
Chu Feng looked at all this and didn't say much. He followed everyone into the house, subconsciously let go of his consciousness, observed it carefully, and nodded slightly in his heart. Although it was just a branch, the internal construction was very
It is perfect, pavilions and pavilions, all-encompassing.
Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Chengfeng came over and said with a smile:
"I have ordered someone to prepare a separate guest room. Mr. Chu might as well go and rest first."
"That's fine."
Liu Chengfeng felt relieved immediately. This Mr. Chu had a mysterious origin, but he had a very good personality and was not arrogant at all. He was much easier to get along with than he had imagined.
He called the person next to him and gave a few instructions before continuing:
"This is the helmsman's servant, let him take you there."
Chu Feng nodded without any objection. Then he followed the servant's lead and walked towards the depths of the house.
"Mr. Liu, who is this? From the looks of you, you seem to have great respect for him?" They had already walked away, and the plump Captain Zhou came closer and asked curiously.
"I was unlucky this time and encountered an evil beast. If Mr. Chu hadn't saved me, I'm afraid everyone would not be able to come back." Liu Chengfeng looked stern and continued,
"Therefore, he is the savior of Liu and even the entire escort team. No matter how much you respect him, you cannot be too respectful."
"Evil beast!"
Captain Zhou's expression changed drastically. He never expected that he would encounter such a legendary disaster.
"No wonder, the number of people returning this time is 30% less than before."
"Yes, if Mr. Chu hadn't rescued him, I'm afraid the whole army would have been wiped out long ago." Liu Chengfeng sighed unusually.
"In this case, the strength of Mr. Chu must be extraordinary. Could it be that he comes from the Shangzong?"
"I don't know either." Liu Chengfeng shook his head and said,
"The origin of Mr. Chu is mysterious, and we cannot speculate on it. However, due respect is absolutely essential. Brother Zhou should understand what I mean, right?"
"Of course, don't worry, Chief Escort, I will make arrangements for you." Captain Zhou replied with a smile.
…
"This is the guest room, please come in."
Chu Feng nodded and followed the servant into the door. Looking carefully, the room was divided into several rooms, which were very spacious, and there was a living room on the outside.
"My lord, is there anything else you need to explain?"
"It's nothing, you go down first."
Chu Feng waved his hand and signaled the other party to step back. The latter did not dare to neglect and left respectfully.
The living room became quiet, and I took a few steps to the window. In front of my sight was a small garden, which looked pleasing to the eye.
"Da da da——"
At this moment, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the room, which sounded like a woman's.
Sure enough, when the footsteps stopped, a crisp sound came.
"My lord, this servant has come to serve under the command of the helmsman."
"Come in."
Chu Feng probably guessed something and did not refuse. The door slowly opened, revealing two graceful figures.
The two women are young, dressed as maids, with delicate looks and fair complexion. They are completely different from the hot and bold girls in Kuangsha City.
"Slave Qingyue (Qingyu) has met your master."
The two of them bowed respectfully, and then stood aside a little uneasily, motionless.
Chu Feng looked at the two of them carefully, with a trace of surprise in his eyes. For some reason, he always felt that these two people were a little strange. They were so beautiful, and their every move, expression and temperament did not look like a maid.
.On the contrary, there is a hint of wildness that is difficult to detect.
"Did Captain Zhou ask you to come?"
"Yes." The two women didn't dare to hesitate and responded hurriedly.
Chu Feng paused and wanted to inquire about the details of the two of them. Then he thought again that this had nothing to do with him, so he simply stopped asking.
"I have nothing to do here, you can do as you please. Also, if anyone comes, you can come to me in the room."
After giving instructions, he walked towards the innermost bedroom.
The two women obviously didn't expect this to be the case, and couldn't help but look at each other, with a hint of complexity in their expressions. They were both worried and relaxed, and there was a hint of unnoticeable unwillingness.
"elder sister……"
"Silence!"
Qingyue hurriedly interrupted her sister, and a stern look flashed in her eyes. She raised her hand and subconsciously touched her neck, where a black jade belt was wrapped, which seemed to be some kind of special jewelry.
However, the moment his fingertips touched the jade belt, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, and there was a trace of deep sadness in his expression.
…
As night fell, Chu Feng was sitting in the room meditating.
There is no spiritual energy in this world, and it is impossible to practice. However, it does not hinder him from comprehending the Supreme Forgetting Art. Moreover, for some unknown reason, when he comprehends it, he can clearly feel that his soul is becoming more and more condensed.
In this way, not only has the strength not weakened, but relatively speaking, it has improved a lot.
"Bang bang bang——"
At this moment, a slight knock on the door suddenly sounded, waking him up instantly. When he looked with his consciousness, it was none other than the little maid Qingyue from before.
"What's up?"
"Sir, the helmsman ordered someone to bring a balm. Do you want to take a bath?"
"Let someone bring it in."
Chu Feng had the power to purify himself, but since the other party had already sent it, he didn't refuse it. He just wanted to take a dip and relax.
Within a moment, several servants came in carrying a huge wooden barrel. After putting it down, they all left respectfully without saying anything.
"Sir, let us serve you."
Qingyue said something and was about to take off her small clothes. However, she suddenly saw the other party wave her hand.
"I can do it myself, you can just step back."
"Ah——" Sister Qingyue was slightly startled, not expecting to be rejected.
"Sir, we-"
"Go down, I will call you if something happens." Chu Feng waved his hand again, his tone a little more serious than before.
Only then did the two Qingyue sisters confirm that the other party really did not intend to let them serve. While they breathed a sigh of relief, they suddenly became endlessly curious about this strange adult.
The two women did not leave, they just stood outside the door and waited quietly in case the other party gave them orders. At the same time, they kept communicating with each other secretly with their eyes. Obviously, this was the first time they met such people who were not greedy for their colors at all.
Time passed slowly, the room was extremely quiet, and no movement was heard. This made the two waiting girls feel inexplicably flustered, and thought to themselves, could something happen?
Just as I was thinking about whether to ask, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and someone was coming.
"I have met you, sir." When they saw the person coming, the expressions of the two goddesses secretly changed, their eyebrows naturally lowered, and they saluted respectfully.
"Where is Mr. Chu?"
Liu Chengfeng didn't notice anything strange between the two of them and asked directly.
"Chu, sir, you are taking a bath." Qingyue didn't dare to hesitate and replied immediately.
"In that case, why are you two standing here instead of serving Mr. Chu?" Liu Chengfeng asked with a stern expression.
"My lord, please forgive me. It was Lord Chu who did not allow us to serve."
"No?"
Liu Chengfeng was startled for a moment, and then he looked at the two women carefully. It must be said that these two were very beautiful, and no man would refuse them.
"Is it possible that you are still thinking about Miss Zheng? This is too infatuated!"
He secretly guessed in his heart, but did not really say it. In his opinion, Miss Zheng has become a taboo in the other person's heart, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to eliminate it for a while.
"Squeak——"
The door suddenly opened, Chu Feng dressed neatly and stepped out.
"Why did you come to me?"
"It's like this. There will be a large-scale auction at Jinyue Pavilion in Kuangsha City in the evening, and there will be a lot of precious treasures for sale. I think you might be interested."
"When does it begin?"
Chu Feng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy. He was really interested, not because of the treasure, but because he wanted to participate in the activities of this world, and by the way, he could also learn more about this world.
"There are still two hours left. I was thinking that you were alone and didn't have enough money with you, so I came over to inform you in advance so that I could make some preparations." Liu Chengfeng explained, and then said,
"I have accumulated a lot of savings over the years. If Mr. Chu needs it, feel free to take it." As he said that, he suddenly took out a golden token in his hand and handed it over.
Chu Feng glanced at the strange-looking token. This thing should be a certificate of some kind of wealth, but he had no intention of taking it.
"Hold on."
A moment later, he returned again, carrying a cyan wooden box in his hand. It looked antique and seemed to contain something extremely precious.
"Let's continue in the living room." Chu Feng did not open the box immediately, but invited him.
Although Liu Chengfeng was confused, he did not object and followed him towards the living room.
The guests and hosts took their seats. Chu Feng then pushed the wooden box towards the other party and asked:
"Let's take a look, how much is this thing worth?"
"this……"
Liu Chengfeng was slightly startled, and then looked at it carefully. Not to mention what treasures were inside the box, the box itself was enough to conclude that its value was immeasurable.
Chu Feng secretly smiled. The box was made of the trees in the oasis. However, when he was making it, he used some small spells to make it look older. Moreover, he also carved a simple set of words on it.
The formation is even more mysterious and extraordinary.
"Hey, this is..."
At this time, Liu Chengfeng had slowly opened the box, and what emerged were two crystal beads the size of a baby's fist. They were sparkling and brilliant, and one could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary objects.
"What a treasure!" Liu Chengfeng came back to his senses and said in surprise,
"Mr. Chu, you don't want to sell this orb. It is an extremely rare thing. Selling it for money would be a waste."
Chu Feng secretly laughed in his heart, it was just glass beads and a simple luminous formation, how could it be considered rare?
Of course, it can be determined from the other party's expression that glass is indeed rare in this world. Coupled with the mysterious formation, it is naturally a precious thing.
"This is the Orb of Everlasting Light. It is a very special treasure. It is said that the radiance emitted by it can make you light and healthy and extend your life. Of course, these are just rumors, and Chu is not sure."
"Even if we can't really confirm the orb, I guess it won't be too different." Liu Chengfeng looked at the orb with admiration in his eyes.
"If Mr. Chu really needs money, he can temporarily borrow it from Yongfeng Escort Bureau. Why do you have to sell these treasures?"
"It doesn't matter, just think about it, how can you sell this thing for the highest price?"
Chu Feng still insisted. There was no need to borrow it temporarily. It was a favor. What's more, wasn't the reason why he carefully refined this thing for this purpose?
"Okay." Liu Chengfeng sighed. Since the other party was so insistent, he couldn't persuade him much. After thinking about it, he analyzed,
"There are four major auction houses in Kuangsha City, all of which are branches of the four major business alliances of Yunhuang. For example, the Jinyue Pavilion where the auction is held tonight is based on the Jinyue Merchant Alliance located in Baiyun City.
"
"In addition to holding regular auctions, auction houses also charge for rare and rare treasures. Of course, the threshold is much higher than that of a pawn shop, and ordinary items will not be taken care of."
After a pause, he continued,
"My suggestion is to choose Jinyue Pavilion. Instead of selling things to the other party, auction off the orbs through tonight's auction. Only in this way can you get the maximum return."
"Now that we've reached this point, will they agree?"
"The auction is about to start, and the time is indeed a bit rushed," Liu Chengfeng nodded and then said,
"However, Mr. Chu, don't worry about this, I will handle it properly."
