C781 The Auction
After Lee Zhuohua escaped from the old fraud, he wanted to find a place to stay. The reason he did not continue to fight was not that he was afraid of him. It was that he did not want to get involved in unknown trouble before he figured out the secret of the power of faith. Moreover, he had promised Jee Yichuan that he would naturally meet the old fraud again three days later.
Lee Zhuohua found an inn in the Gathering Fang City and stayed there. Lee Zhuohua did not expect to meet Zhan Wuhen in this inn.
"What a coincidence! Not long after we separated, we met again. How did you get any information about Little Sword Immortal?" Lee Zhuohua said with a smile as he walked towards Zhan Wuhenn.
Zhan did not expect to meet Lee Zhuohua here again. He really had a feeling that he would meet Lee Zhuohua no matter where he went.
"It's quite a coincidence. My information can't be exchanged for Little Sword Immortal's whereabouts and the Ten Directions Pavilion doesn't plan to tell anyone where Little Sword Immortal went. They have decided to put Little Sword Immortal's information in the auction tonight so that people who want to know where Little Sword Immortal is going can bid for it." Zhan Wuhen said helplessly. He didn't expect the Ten Directions Pavilion to do such a thing.
Lee Zhuohua shook his head when he heard what the Ten Directions Pavilion was going to do, but he didn't find it strange. This was because everyone in the Ownerless Land was looking for the Little Sword Immortal due to the wanted order of the Sword Sect, and the Ten Directions Pavilion, who had the traces of the Little Sword Immortal, naturally wanted to earn a sum of money from it.
However, Lee Zhuohua was not interested in where Little Sword Immortal had gone to, but he was interested in the auction at night.
"The auction? Was it hosted by the Ten Directions Pavilion?" Lee Zhuohua asked.
"That's right, the Ten Directions Pavilion will put some special information into this auction every year. Unlike other auctions, they don't sell things, but only information, and of course, there is also some information about the location of the treasures, so there are quite a few people participating in the auction every year." Zhan Wuhen did not hide anything from Lee Zhuohua and told him the truth.
"Is that so?" Lee Zhuohua muttered.
This was the first time Lee Zhuohua had heard of such an auction, and he felt it to be interesting, because according to what Zhan Wuhenn said, there was no lack of information regarding the location of the treasure in the auction, so the person who obtained the information could be considered to have obtained an opportunity.
"By the way, have you gotten the information you wanted?" Zhan Wuhenn asked.
Zhan Wuhenn's voice pulled Lee Zhuohua back to his senses. He raised his head and smiled at Zhan Wuhenn. Naturally, he had obtained the information he wanted, but he could not tell him too much about the Demon Lord.
When Zhan Wuhenn saw Lee Zhuohua like this, he knew that he had already obtained the information he wanted. He felt helpless about this because the information he wanted still depended on whether he could get it tonight or not.
"I heard that there was a conflict between you and Ji Ping in the Ten Directions Pavilion. And finally, Jee Yichuan came as well?" Zhan Wuhen brought up what had happened to Lee Zhuohua today.
Zhan Wuhenn was in his room at the time and did not know what was going on outside. When he came out, Lee Zhuohua had already left, but he still found out about it from the people who were there at the time.
"It looks like a lot of people were paying attention to what happened at that time." Lee Zhuohua also smiled when he heard Zhan Wuhenn mention it.
"You be careful of that Jee Yichuan. He is a member of Moonlight Sect, and the Moonlight Sect is the most mysterious of the three great powers. Not only is it known to the public, but not many people know about their cultivation." Seeing that Lee Zhuohua had admitted it, Zhan Wuhenn lowered his voice slightly and said.
"Hmm?" Hearing what Zhan Wuhenn said, Lee Zhuohua's eyebrows twitched.
Before he came into contact with Jee Yichuan, he did not know what was so mysterious about the Moonlight Sect. But a few days ago, he learned about the power of faith and the cultivation methods of the Moonlight Sect. Now that he heard Zhan Wuhenn's words, he couldn't help but be more cautious.
He had always felt that the low profile Moonlight Sect seemed to be plotting something, with its strange cultivation methods, as well as the Ten Directions Pavilion that was collecting intelligence from all over the Ownerless Land. All of these things revealed a trace of strangeness.
"However, you don't have to be afraid of Jee Yichuan here. After all, the Gathering Fang City is a place that the three major powers share. He won't dare to do anything here either." Zhan Wuhenn finally said.
Lee Zhuohua only nodded in agreement. He did not tell him about his visit to Jee Yichuan, nor did he mention anything about the power of faith to him.
After the two of them chatted for a while, they returned to their respective rooms. Lee Zhuohua had wanted to go to the Demon Realm after finding out where Demon Lord had gone to, but now, he wanted to know more about the power of faith.
Therefore, he needed to wait for the City Lord to take over in three days, and now that he was also interested in the auction, he had agreed with Zhan Wuhen that he would take him with him when he went to the auction that night.
Time flew by quickly, and the street outside was still filled with the sound of peddlers and passers-by, but the sky was getting dark, and by the evening, the sounds outside did not die down, but became even more lively, as if it was the way it was in places where people lived, and the night was the real life.
When it was time for the appointment, Lee Zhuohua did not wait for Zhan Wuhen to call him before he walked out of the room and headed for Zhan Wuhen's room.
But just as he was about to reach the door of Zhan Wuhenn's room, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. He turned his head and looked at her with a slightly surprised expression.
"Eh, why is he here?" Lee Zhuohua thought to himself in doubt. Before he could understand why that person was here, that person seemed to have left in a hurry for something.
"Interesting." After seeing that person leave, the corner of Lee Zhuohua's mouth raised into a smile, as if he was thinking about something.
"Brother Li, let's go." At this moment, Zhan Wuhenn also walked out of the room. When he saw Lee Zhuohua outside the door, he immediately greeted him.
Lee Zhuohua heard Zhan Wuhenn's voice and immediately stopped smiling. He turned around and looked at him, but his eyes were a little strange.
Zhan Wuhenn did not know why Lee Zhuohua was looking at him like that. Could it be because there was something on his body? However, when Zhan Wuhenn lowered his head to check himself, he did not find anything abnormal.
"Brother Li, what's wrong?" The puzzled Zhan Wuhen asked Lee Zhuohua after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him.
Lee Zhuohua had also realized that there was something wrong with his eyes. He changed his expression without anyone noticing, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"Nothing. Let's go. Take me to see that auction. To be honest, I've never seen an auction of intelligence." Lee Zhuohua changed the topic.
When Zhan Wuhen saw Lee Zhuohua's reaction, he frowned, but he did not ask any further questions. He brought Lee Zhuohua and left the inn, heading towards the auction venue of the Ten Directions Pavilion.
The auction of the Ten Directions Pavilion was scheduled to be held in a restaurant in the Gathering Fang City. This restaurant rarely had any customers, and it was now used as an auction venue. There was not a single person outside the restaurant.
Because this restaurant was under the name of the Ten Directions Pavilion, the restaurant was just a surface job, but in reality, it was prepared for the annual auction of the Ten Directions Pavilion.
After Lee Zhuohua arrived here, he felt that this place was a little strange, because logically speaking, this kind of place would definitely have guards guarding the entrance, but not only was there no pedestrians here, there were also no guards. Could it be that the Ten Directions Pavilion was not afraid of people causing trouble?
With this doubt in mind, Lee Zhuohua followed Zhan Wuhenn into the restaurant.
