[System] Where is my vest?

"Pavilion Master Qianji." Jiang Lan was able to recognize Qianji at a glance, and she really had to thank the mask on his face that was the same as that of the previous meeting.

"City Lord Yin." Jiang Lan didn't wear a mask this time, but since Qianji Pavilion is doing information transactions, naturally it doesn't know only one name of the City Lord of Xuanwu City.

Jiang Lan raised his head, and the four big characters "Baibao Trading Company" on the building in front of him made him raise his eyebrows unconsciously.

It is also interesting that the owner of Qianji Pavilion actually invited him to participate in the auction of the chief helm of Baibao Trading Company.

"I also received the invitation from Baibao Trading Company before, are you together?"

"No, Baibao Trading Company is looking for you to discuss business, I'm looking for you to apologize." Qianji explained: "Except for some business contacts, our two families have always not interfered with each other."

"Oh? Is that so..." Jiang Lan raised her brows slightly, took Mei Qing, and followed Qianji into the firm.

"Pavilion Master Qianji, you are here..." The beautiful maid recognized Qianji at a glance, it seemed that he was a regular visitor here.

Qianji waved his hand. He glanced at Mei Qing behind Jiang Lan, turned his head and whispered to the maid, "Bring friends to play."

There was a flash of understanding in the maid's eyes, but she quickly put on a decent smile: "The three please follow me."

Jiang Lan took Xia Yan to the auction once, it was the sub-rudder of Baibao Trading Company, that was when the Tianji Sect was still there, and the sub-rudder was the nearest place of the Li Tianji Sect, its importance was no less than that of the main helm.

Jiang Lan thought that the scale of the auction this time would be about the same as last time.

But Jiang Lan followed the maid and entered a hall. There were already many people in the hall. He hugged the red fox and looked around, feeling a little strange in his heart.

This hall was not the product exhibition hall he had seen in the last auction, it was directly the hall for auction bidding.

The participants were vigilant against each other last time, wishing to wrap themselves tightly for fear that others would recognize them as different. At this time, the people in the auction hall were walking back and forth, chatting with each other, not as if they were attending an auction, but as if they were attending a banquet of.

Jiang Lan pretended to be involuntary and asked, "What kind of treasures are there in this auction? I remember the last time I was in a branch of Baibao Trading Company, they showed everything in advance."

"City Lord Yin has participated in large-scale auctions before?"

Jiang Lan smiled lightly and said, "Just once."

Qianji paused, when someone came over to try to talk, he called a maid and asked, "Master Yin, why don't we go to the wing room."

Mei Qing suddenly stretched out her hand to hold Jiang Lan's arm, and her voice was sticky: "City Lord, go to the wing. Go to the wing. Ah Qing can... wait on you."

Jiang Lan's body stiffened, and he spit out the word "good", and if he said another word, he was afraid that he would stutter.

Jiang Lan lowered her head, and saw Mei Qing bent over, sticking to her arm as if she had no bones, and smiling charmingly at herself.

Jiang Lan: "..." I was frightened!

"The Lord of the Thousand Chances Pavilion, he glances at others from time to time, the City Lord..." Mei Qing bit her lip, looking at Jiang Lan with a pitiful look.

Qianji's heart trembled, he did not expect Mei Qing to be aware of his scrutiny, the purpose of inviting the Lord of Xuanwu City this time was not to win over, but to understand the other party's character and preferences.Even if you can't be your friend, you can't be your enemy.

Qianji looked at Mei Qing, whether he wanted to judge his relationship with Jiang Lan, whether he was just a servant or subordinate, or...

The Hundred Treasures Firm will often hold two auctions at the same time, one in the open and one in the dark. For the treasures of heaven and earth and weapons of martial arts, the two auctions will be held at the same time.After that, the public auction will end, but the secret one will continue, and the auction items will be things that can't be put on the stage or can't be seen...

Participating in the latter auction requires a little knowledge, and there are also some "like-minded" people who participate in it, and they will also have some "communication and sharing" among them.

Although Qianji brought Jiang Lan into the box, seeing Mei Qing's soft and boneless appearance leaning against Jiang Lan, he decided to take someone to the secret auction. It would be best if Jiang Lan had a crush on her. However, if Jiang Lan expresses his displeasure about this, he can also push the matter to Baibao Trading Company...

Outside the wing room, auctions of various treasures were in full swing.

Jiang Lan kept acting uninterested, until a monster cub appeared on the auction stage, and he sat up straight.

From the moment the monster cubs appeared, Qianji felt a little more nervous. He heard Jiang Lan speak in units of top-grade spirit stones, and saw a red fox in his arms: "Back then, in an auction at the foot of the Tianji Sect, someone used top-quality spirit stones to bid for a red fox..."

Jiang Lan, who bought the cub at a price far exceeding her own value, leaned on the back of her chair and said nonchalantly, "Yes, it's me..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and scratched Huohuo's chin: "I've always liked this furry thing."

Seeing the red fox's eyes narrowed due to being scratched, Qianji felt a little chills in his heart. As far as he knew, the red fox's intelligence could speak out easily.

Jiang Lan didn't care what Qianji thought of him, and took out a pack of Lingshi and handed it to Mei Qing: "Ah Qing, you go."

Only the Yaozu can appease the cubs of the Yaozu. This is the purpose of Jiang Lan bringing Mei Qing.

Mei Qing also put away that casual look: "Yes."

After a while, Mei Qing came back with the cub in her arms, and the cub was quietly held by Mei Qing in her arms, causing Qian Ji to look at him twice.

Jiang Lan noticed that people had started to leave below, but Qianji showed no sign of leaving, and he sat firmly on the stool to start the fire.

Some people left and some people came in. The originally quiet hall began to have rustling conversations.

Under the blessing of Feng Lingli, some words entered Jiang Lan's ears piecemeal - "new", "little pet", "medicine", "beast ear"...

These words are also mixed with that disgusting laughter.

Jiang Lan had an idea in his mind. He was expressionless, quietly waiting for the second half of the auction to start.

After the auction started, all kinds of "commodities" were driven onto the high platform—stove cauldron, medicine man, half-demon...

Jiang Lan stared at each item intently, participating in the bidding from time to time.

In the end, he bought three furnace cauldrons, four half-demons, and one medicine man.

Qianji also hoped that Jiang Lan would be attracted to him, but he didn't expect that the other party would buy so much in one go. This is really unbelievable...

Generally speaking, apart from the invitation of the auction itself, the subtext of one person inviting another to participate in the auction is a treat, but Jiang Lan didn't know this, so he paid for the whole process by himself.

The person who went to pay for the goods was still Mei Qing. The person from the auction house originally said they wanted to deliver the goods, but Mei Qing flatly refused.

When Jiang Lan walked out of the auction, she saw Mei Qing sitting in the driver's seat of a carriage.

Mei Qing called out "City Lord", then blinked at Jiang Lan, and mouthed: "Hurry up and go."

At a loss, Jiang Lan wanted to say goodbye to Qianji and got on the carriage.

"drive--!"

After the carriage drove for a short distance, Mei Qing finally couldn't help but let out a triumphant laugh: "Heihehe..."

Jiang Lan asked: "What did you do?"

"Here you are." Mei Qing took out two storage bags and handed them to Jiang Lan. These were the two batches of top-quality spirit stones that Jiang Lan had given him before.

Jiang Lan looked at it, and it was not bad at all. Seeing Mei Qing's smug expression, he also laughed: "You--you did it beautifully!"

Seeing Jiang Lan's bright smile, Mei Qing was stunned: "Xiaoyue...you look so pretty when you smile."

After hearing this, Jiang Lan immediately restrained her smile: "...Oh."

It was only then that Mei Qing realized that she had actually spoken her heart out. He looked away and hastily changed the subject: "I didn't expect that you would actually save someone in this way..."

"What can't be saved, it's just that Xuanwu City needs some manpower." These artificial "commodities" each have countless bones behind them. Take the half-demon as an example, the children born between humans and demons, their bodies There are definitely some bestial traits, but that trait is random, so one can imagine how the half-ghosts with the beloved beast ears and tail came to be.

"Even if it is to punish evil and promote good, do you know that Baibao Trading Co., Ltd. did it themselves or did someone supply it for them?" Jiang Lan looked back at the slow car: "Besides, reincarnation of cause and effect, these things are still done by themselves Better……"

Jiang Lan pursed her lips and sighed, "Thinking about it this way, I'm really too busy..."

When Jiang Lan left, there were two people, but when she came back, there was a large group of people.

Ding Hong looked at the manacled "person" in the carriage: "What is this?"

"Have you recruited anyone?" Jiang Lan asked.

"No." Ding Hong also looked disappointed: "There are not many people who can pass Tong'er's test. As for the cook...all of them who came to apply for the job were coaxed away by Yuan'er."

Jiang Lan handed over the bought people to Russell, and then asked Ding Hong for details.

"The chefs who came to apply for the job are all engaged in spiritual food, and they hope that we can provide ingredients. There are also people from the spiritual food building, who hope to do business with us."

It dawned on Jiang Lan that there are far fewer vegetarian dishes in the spiritual food than meat dishes, and the meat dish used as the spiritual food is simply processed to keep the "authentic taste" - the meat of monsters.

"Yuan'er didn't kill anyone, it's a good self-restraint." Jiang Lan said.

Those who cannot enter the monster forest will be most affected than the businessmen who make a living from trading monster cubs and monster materials.

Jiang Lan quickly thought of what Qianji said about Baibao Trading Company wanting to do business with her, "If you meet such a person again in the future, just refuse!"

"By the way, the city lord's mansion is here as a guest, the patriarch of the Ji clan, I heard from the system that he is here to find you."

"Yeah." Jiang Lan: "I'll go see him."

As soon as Jiang Lan returned to the City Lord's Mansion, she ran to see Ji Kong without any delay.
