Chapter 183 Auction House Xia Zhilan
"Senior brother?"
Wen Jin answered the sound transmission talisman and spoke to Xie Chengfeng on the other end of the line, with a slight rise in the last tone, as if she couldn't understand why Xie Chengfeng would contact her at this time. Originally, she had thought of contacting her later?
On the other end of the sound transmission note, Xie Chengfeng said, "Big Brother, send me a message and ask me to tell you about the current situation in Kongtong Valley."
Wen Jin understood after hearing this.
In the entire Penglai Fairy Island, the one who has the most similar personality to the eldest brother is Senior Brother Xie Chengfeng.
Therefore, the most complicated situations among these major sects were left to Xie Chengfeng.
Since the last time he harvested Piaomiao Yinque, Xie Chengfeng hurried to Kongtong Valley, and they haven't met since.
She also said "um", "Brother, you say."
Then he released the sound of the sound transmission note so that Ji Yunmiao, Lu Qingzhi, Yang Zheng and Ling Tian who were present could hear it - of course, this also included Cang Yan and Wen Cha who could originally hear it in her body, and Wang Jin who had been in a silent state of sleep, so he could hear it as long as he wanted.
……
Wen Jin took the sound transmission note and went over what Xie Chengfeng had just said.
Nowadays, Kongtong Valley has long been divided into two factions due to the loss of the sacred artifact Kongtong Seal. One faction is the sect that continues to be led by the original valley master, and it is also the faction that Xie Chengfeng is now in communication with.
The other faction split off, and if nothing unexpected happens, they should be in the same group with Wudang Mountain.
Xie Chengfeng said that the two factions were incompatible and both blamed the other for losing the Kongtong Seal. The Valley Master's faction speculated that the group of people who split off stole the Kongtong Seal in order to join Wudang Immortal Mountain. As the two parties could not communicate at all, they could not understand the specific situation of the other faction.
The auction house that Wen Jin and the others were going to belong to this faction.
"It's just right then."
Wen Jin concluded.
……
Xia Zhilan was extremely excited when he received the news from Wen Jin.
The person who caught the messenger shook himself excitedly, his joy evident on his face.
"Great!" He clasped his right hand and pounded his left palm: "Go and make arrangements to welcome the adults."
The messenger steadied himself and grabbed Xia Zhilan's arm: "My Lord, please don't make it public."
"Please ask Boss Xia to prepare three rooms by then." These were Wen Jin's original words.
So Wen Jin and his party were still a little helpless when they saw a rather grand mansion.
"This is indeed my smallest private residence."
Xia Zhilan observed Wen Jin's expression and spoke cautiously.
The Xia family had records of most of his properties, except for this one, which he bought secretly. The Xia family did not agree with him learning alchemy and becoming an alchemist, so all these things were kept secret from the Xia family.
Fortunately, although he did not have much talent in business, he did a relatively good job of concealing the situation.
Wen Jin and his group had changed their appearances at this moment, restrained their spiritual power, and successfully blended in among the ordinary cultivators coming and going, becoming inconspicuous.
Hearing Xia Zhilan's words, Wen Jin looked around. It was indeed not a prosperous area, and it was hidden in the city. So he didn't say anything more. He looked at Ji Yunmiao and nodded to Xia Zhilan.
Xia Zhilan walked in front and led everyone in.
"Boss Xia, I heard that Kongtong Valley has been a bit uneasy lately?"
Yang Zheng took the first step to speak and asked the first question according to the instructions Wen Jin gave her at the beginning.
Hearing this, Xia Zhilan turned around and saw a girl in light red clothes looking at him curiously.
The girl's eyes and eyebrows were so lively that people immediately let down their guard.
So Xia Zhilan nodded and continued walking forward while explaining:
"There has been some unrest recently, but you are from the Auction House, and no one will touch you."
"Don't you know anything? That Boss Xia is really amazing!"
Yang Zheng continued, still with that curious look on his face, as if he had no other thoughts.
Wen Jin and Ji Yunmiao listened quietly without saying a word.
Xia Zhilan still didn't know who they were, and they had no way of judging Xia Zhilan's attitude towards Penglai Island, so before everything was made clear, it was best to use the fact that Ji Yunmiao could help him refine pills to break down the distance and gradually ask questions.
As expected, Xia Zhilan didn't think too much about it. Or rather, he thought too much. However, he couldn't refuse to answer directly because he had something to ask of him. He just laughed twice:
"The status of the auction house is quite special, and it is not something that can be easily won over."
After he finished speaking, Yang Zheng nodded immediately without asking any more questions.
However, several people were already communicating with each other in their hearts through telepathy.
Xia Zhilan had the lowest cultivation level among those present, so it was hard to blame them for discussing things under his nose.
"He said that. Does that mean the Auction House has not yet submitted to the separatist faction?"
Wen Jin spoke first.
"should."
This is Ji Yunmiao.
"Boss Xia doesn't look like someone who would collude with Wudang Mountain."
It was the first time that Lu Qingzhi met Xia Zhilan, and she gave a fair evaluation based on her first impression.
Yang Zheng immediately agreed with this view. She had not met many people of all kinds, but her intuition told her that Xia Zhilan was a relatively pure person except for some necessary tricks.
