Speaking of which, it was said that there would be top-grade attribute gems at this auction. Especially since the Tower of Trials was open, and even weapons with attribute gems could be brought in. All the challengers’ basic attributes were at one hundred. Hence, the only way to boost their attributes was through the inlays on the weapon.
At this moment, top-grade gems were very much sought after.
Not only the heavyweights of major families came, but quite a few Honorary Aristocrats also attended as well. The guards they brought all patrolled at the door, the place was armed to the teeth. Once anyone suspicious was spotted, they would arrest them before anything else!
Hong Dali and his people strode straight through the doors of the auction hall. There was already a small device welcoming them. Beautiful young ladies from the elf clan donned in elegant dresses stood in a row, bowing at ninety degrees, and greeted in unison. “Welcome to the Sauron auction!” High-class, lavish, exquisite—especially the deep cleavage, huge breasts.
Which made Hong Dali think. If this Sauron Auction was no longer held, this place could be transformed into a high-end clubhouse named “Heaven on Earth”…
Such a heavyweight auction, there was bound to be reporters from major newspapers.
In this Galaxy Alliance Center, reporters were very peculiar creatures—they were almost all very short gnomes, about 60-centimeters-tall. Very quick reflexes, surrounding the crowd and taking photos non-stop with their cameras. Soon, Hong Dali understood why reporters were all gnomes—they were too small and quick. It was tough to chase them away…
“Don’t take any pictures of me.” Hong Dali threatened the reporters. “If you take anymore, I’ll send you to the circus!”
Of course, threats were nothing to the reporters. It was a good thing the reporters soon lost their interest in Hong Dali and rushed toward another target.
What situation was this?
The crowd turned around to see a spacecraft representing Galaxy Aristocrats. It was no wonder the reporters all rushed over like houseflies—they could finally take a breather!
Soon, the spacecraft came to a stop. A very handsome man stepped off the spacecraft and walked forward slowly. This young man had silver long hair with straight eyebrows. He was 1.9 meters tall and looked well-proportioned. His muscles looked explosive. He looked intimidating. Not mentioning about his capability, just his murderous look was enough to stop one’s breathing.
That murderous look was from someone who had actual combat experience, definitely not one that was made pretend.
Aristocrat.Tianxing!
“Wah, this person is not easy.” Tang Muxin whispered. “Could he be after Sister Qianxue?”
Everyone nodded in unison. As a Galaxy Aristocrat, Jiang Qianxue did not follow them to the appraisal room but came to the auction directly. They did not know what she was doing inside the hall. But seeing so many Galaxy Aristocrats’ spacecraft, everyone could more or less guess. Who else had the ability to gather so many Galaxy Aristocrats here except the beauty Jiang Qianxue?
While Tang Muxin and the other women were speculating about the reason why this man, whose looks was comparable to Liu Mingxin, was here, the few of Jiang Qianxue’s guards quickly introduced. “Young Master Dali, this lord’s name is Li Tianxing. He is the number one genius among the Galaxy Aristocrats and he has fused with an ice Soul Stone. He’s very powerful!”
Ice Soul Stone! Someone who possessed the power to control ice. He was very powerful, indeed!
When everyone heard that, they hurriedly observed him and were instantly stunned!
With every step Li Tianxing took, apart from the invincible aura, icy snow formed where he walked past.
Such strong power! He was indeed the number one genius among the Galaxy Aristocrats. Just his entrance was sufficient for everyone to understand he was not easily trifled with.
When Li Tianxing arrived in front of Hong Dali, he suddenly stopped and looked at Hong Dali and his entourage curiously. As his eyes fixated on Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei, he was slightly shocked. “En? Two beauties. I wonder which planet could these two beautiful ladies be from.” The only thing that could attract his attention was ravishing beauties like Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei. As for the Double Honorary Aristocrat Hong Dali, he could not care less.
The words which sounded like he was talking to himself made Tang Muxin’s and Li Nianwei’s faces turn red. But they soon recovered.
Li Tianxing only stopped for a while and did not say anything more. He entered the hall coolly. It wasn’t an overstatement to say that comparing Hong Dali to him, Hong Dali indeed seemed like a typical country bumpkin…
“Hehe, Dali, this person is so cool.” Tang Muxin giggled. “But he’s still lacking something. Our Dali is more amiable. This person is more suitable to be observed like a statue. Not suitable to be approached. He’s too cold.”
Li Nianwei nodded. “He looks like a very popular supporting role in a movie.” That hit the nail right on the head.
Tang Muxin frowned and said angrily, “He didn’t even acknowledge you, Dali. So hateful!”
“It’s good he didn’t acknowledge me,” Hong Dali said shrewdly. “He’s like a block of ice. I don’t want to interact with him, either. Let’s quickly go. I’ll freeze to death if we continue staying here!”
And they all entered the hall. This place was really not comparable to the auctions seen on Earth.
Just the area was a few hundred square meters. The hall was as big as the Great Hall of the People on Earth, with an extremely large ring of seats. The seats in front were lower and the seats behind were higher. This was so everyone could see the items easily.
At this moment, the entire hall was filled with people.
What was interesting was that this huge hall was separated into a few sections. There was a large and spacious VIP section for the Galaxy Aristocrats, and every seat was at least two meters apart. There were already more than ten Galaxy Aristocrats seated. When Li Tianxing stepped in, the entire hall became quiet instantly. After a while, everyone started whispering to each other—
“Quick, look. It’s the Galaxy Aristocrat’s number one genius, Deep Waters Li Tianxing! He’s so cool! He’s a lady-killer!”
“Yes, yes. Look at his aura, look at his ability. Just by walking in, I can feel his frosty aura. He’s indeed the number one genius. Very powerful!”
“Of course. He is the chosen successor to the Nine Sha Luos, the clan with the highest combat power among the Galaxy Aristocrats. It’s no joke!”
Li Tianxing entered the VIP area and looked around. Soon, he found the very calm Jiang Qianxue, who was sitting in a corner reading. He walked straight to her and smiled. “Qianxue, it’s been a while.”
“You’re here.” Jiang Qianxue put down the book and looked at Li Tianxing. She smiled and nodded. “Brother Tianxing, it’s been a while, indeed.”
“En.” Li Tianxing sat beside Jiang Qianxue and gently said, “You became prettier. But you look a little tired. Is there something bothering you?”
“There is something.” Jiang Qianxue did not deny and smiled. “But it’s okay now.”
“That’s great.” Hearing that, Li Tianxing felt relaxed. “It’s good.”
As they chatted, Tang Muxin saw them and joked. “Dali, someone is striking up a conversation with your experimental girlfriend. Hehe. This Li Tianxing is indeed here for Sister Qianxue.”
“She’s my experimental girlfriend, not my real girlfriend.” Hong Dali paid no attention. “Don’t make up our relationship like that, someone might die from it.”
“En, en.” Tang Muxin was quite petty. She had hoped someone would hook up with Jiang Qianxue. She beamed. “It’s good that you are not concerned. I’m afraid you’d be jealous.”
“Why would I be jealous?” Hong Dali led everyone into the Honorary Aristocrats’ area. “The auction should be starting soon. Let’s go in and take a look.”
As they walked, a low voice sounded. “Dali, you’re here too!”
Hong Dali turned around to see Fang Han calling out to him. “Haha, I thought you were not coming.”
“Big Brother Fang!” Hong Dali winked at Fang Han. “How long have you been here? I was going to gift you something after the auction ended.”
“Sure.” Fang Han nodded. “I’ll go look for you after it ends.”
“En, okay!”
As they greeted each other, the people in the Honorary Aristocrats area saw Honorary Aristocrat approaching them with his entourage and started joking—
“Quick, look. Isn’t that the new Double Honorary Aristocrat Hong Dali? He is a super prodigal, specialized in buying failed shops. Haha!”
“Isn’t that right. I sold all my loss-making businesses to him. And he bought it all. He’s my God of Fortune. I was just fretting about how I can get rid of them.”
“Hehe. Last night, I sold the piece of useless land to him for 36 million. Aiya, I felt at east after the land was sold.”
“It can’t be? He even bought that? There must be something wrong with him—but I like it!”
As everyone discussed, Hong Dali calmly walked into the Honorary Aristocrats area.
Although their voices were not too loud, they were not soft either. Hong Dali could hear some of it. He sat down and touched his chin, asking Ling Xiaoyi, “Oh right, Xiaoyi. Now I remember. You bought some businesses on my behalf last night. I forgot to ask you about it…”
