The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 218
Chapter 218: Auction
Deep into the night.
The Helian Wei Wei that everyone thought was in hiding because she was afraid of embarrassment had just currently just completed the last armament. She stretched out a little, massaged her neck and turned back valiantly to look at the five glistening armaments on the table. With a sense of accomplishment, she smiled lazily and asked: “Where is Hei Ze? He hasn’t arrived yet?”
“Young Master had been locked up by his Master Hei, I am afraid that he would not be able to come out for the next few days.” Manager Zhang replied as he marvelled at the exquisiteness of the armaments, letting a soft sigh as he held a magnifying glass in hand and slowly examined them.
Helian Wei Wei laughed out and sat down on the wooden chair. Immediately, someone served her a cup of tea and after she expressed her thanks, she said: “He has been quite honest lately, how is it that Master Hei still keep him under such close tabs?”
“It seems that because of something he did, the Third Prince had sent someone to check.” Manager Zhang replied absentmindedly.
Helian Wei Wei raised an eyebrow, she did not know that a certain Highness had gone to find trouble with Hei Ze. It seems that she has to find some time and have a proper discussion with a certain Highness. This was her ally, he couldn’t move his blade so casually.
“There are only two more hours to day break, we should all go and sleep.” Helian Wei Wei put the teacup down and thought of something. “Oh right, leave three places for me.”
Manager Zhang furrowed his brows and said, “Three places? I see that Miss still doesn’t want to disclose your identity as the boss.”
“The time isn’t ripe yet.” Helian Wei Wei hooked up her thin lips and continued, “However, I must still enjoy the full privileges properly. I will be attending with my friends.”
Manager Zhang’s face lit up: “Miss’ friends? Which family’s young Master or young Miss?”
“It isn’t any Young Master.” Helian Wei Wei yawned lazily, “I am not clear on the person’s family background but he looks good. If we can get him to endorse our armaments, in the future, money will definitely be rolling in.”
Once again, Manager Zhang felt that he could not fully comprehend his boss’ words as he asked carefully: “Endorse?”
“It means to take our armament out and have a fight with it.” Helian Wei Wei thought of her own desk mate at White Academy and the smile at the corner of her mouth grew. “Let’s just say that he is the type that can dominate and control any type of armament.”
When he heard her words, he was amazed and cried out: “Any type of armament?”
Was there such a person in the Dragon War Empire?
If one went according to reason, the martial qi on armaments and cultivators complemented each other, how was it possible that someone could hold dominance over any type of armament?
He scratched his head.
Helian Wei Wei had already fallen asleep as she leaned against the wooden chair and her long hair flowed onto the rug. Adding to the fact that she was now dressed as a man, she truly looked like a handsome youth that has just stepped out of a comic.
She could even fall asleep just like that.
Manager Zhang shook his head helplessly, he quickly glanced at the attendant and pointed to the door.
For the entire day, Big Boss was definitely the most tired of them all. From the card design right down to the armament, everything was single handedly done by her. She only had a few mouthfuls of dinner and had been busy working non stop.
Now that everything had been done, Manager Zhang did not disturb her and left quietly with the attendant. Before leaving, he had left some instructions for the people downstairs.
Manager Zhang looked at the brightly lit auction house that had been luxuriously done up. Every seat here needed to be reserved, even the ones that were right at the back cost ten thousand two hundred for a seat. There was no need to mention the ones that were right up front, what kind of positions did those people hold.
Such a business model was unprecedented and it clearly showed that their boss had created a miracle.
But who would have ever thought that this miracle was actually created by the same person whom everyone thought to be a waste all this time….
On the following day, the entire capital was abuzz. Because of the upcoming Martial Qi Competition, the streets had already been packed with visitors from all around. Now that there is an armament auction, it had attracted an endless stream of cultivators.
There were even people saying that this auction was not inferior to the armaments created by Master Wu Shuang.
That was why in the midst of them all, there were not only dignitaries who wanted to experience it, there will also many famed Armament Masters.
Of course there will also Masters who did not hold Profound Heaven in their eyes. After all, they had been around for a long time and had gained the prestige over the years in the capital. With the sudden appearance of a competitor, wasn’t it just blatant provocation to them?
No matter from which aspect, the grand stage that Profound Heaven was about to bring was unprecedented.
In order to participate in this auction, Helian Jiao Er specially wore a lavender dress with intricately embroidered patterns in a similar colour on her cuffs. The silver thread weaved out a few clouds and tassels. She also had on a pure white veil that made her look even more mysterious and beautiful, inevitably pulling gazes over.
It was a pity that beautiful people like to dress in veils, however this was a charm itself was extremely alluring.
Her hand was lightly holding on to Madam Su’s arm, while her servant Xiao Qiao walked by her side. Madam Su started to greet various distinguished nobles and officials as she walked past.
Those people were fawning all over her and did not mention a single bit about the time that she had been in the temple. They were talking about everything under the sun, trying to gain a better seat by relying on her.
Therefore, there was no shortage of such people and some went even a step further and pulled her hand affectionately. “My darling sister is finally here, I’ve heard that your family and Profound Heavens relationship is pretty good, I will need to depend on sister to help arrange a better seat.”
“It’s only conversing through letters.” Madam Su said it modestly but her heart was full of pride. With a gentle smile, she said: “Young Sister, you also know that I have not been in the capital recently, however the matter of arranging a good seat can be left up to me.”
That person giggled and said: “What did I say? My sister has the ability.”
“All right, let’s go in early. The sun is shining down so harshly, my girl has such delicate skin, it’s better to go in the shade quickly.” Madam Su shook her head as she said it with a hint of arrogance.
Hearing this, everyone looked in the direction of Helian Jiao Er.
“This must be Jiao Er, she really is capable of causing the downfall of a city, capable of captivating even the birds and the beasts.”
“She can’t even be compared to others. That daughter of mine only stays in the house all day or spends her days cultivating in the Academy. After spending so much time cultivating, there isn’t much of a difference. Look at Jiao Er, her beauty aside, she is also a genius. She is sure to bring more glory during the upcoming Martial Qi Competition and amaze everyone here. I’ve heard that there are even cultivators that had arrived from Cloud Descent Kingdom specially for her.”
“Even the people of Cloud Descent Kingdom have heard of her name? She really is something!”
“Tell me about it, I heard that it was Master Wu Shuang who had personally invited these people. Amongst them, one is the Prince of a neighbouring kingdom, while the other is the Princess of a neighbouring kingdom. They all want to see her beautiful face.”
