Chapter 1002: Chapter 775: Luxurious Yet Low-Key New Moon Auction
“I’m in love,” White Hair murmured.
“Let’s duel,” the fat guy puckered his lips and looked at White Hair.
Then they simultaneously noticed the girl’s gaze and suddenly realized, looking at Mu Fan with a jolt!
“Looking for you? Is it her?”
“…Damn it!”
At this moment, both were so excited they almost exploded, standing on either side of Mu Fan, pinning him in the middle, grinning foolishly in that direction.
Princess Yue Xi walked up to Mu Fan openly, curiously looked around, and her gentle, ethereal voice sounded, “Are these your companions?”
Mu Fan nodded, “My best friends.”
“Ding Chuan, Yin Shuai.”
“Ding Chuan, Harry.”
After Mu Fan spoke, the two quickly introduced themselves.
“Hello, I’m Yue Xi, this is Daisendari,” Princess Yue Xi introduced gracefully.
No shyness, no coldness, a natural poise that instantly captivated White Hair and the fat guy.
“Hello, everyone.”
“Now that everyone is here, let’s talk inside.” Yue Xi smiled, and her gentle face made it hard for anyone to argue.
Meanwhile, Kim, standing a few steps away and watching coldly, had a glimmer in his eyes.
His other identity was that of an interstellar broker, using all his channels to sell information, intelligence, and connections as commodities.
Being resourceful and well-connected described such people perfectly.
When his eyes fell on the ring finger of Yue Xi’s right hand, his heart skipped a beat.
The green ring and the aquamarine teardrop exuded understated elegance.
[Star Water Divine Tears]!
That must involve secrets deep within the universe, a Star Water Divine Tears ring blessed by ancient deities!
This was a symbol of power from the Babon Duchy, the homeland of the interstellar Wood Armor.
The identity of the young girl before him was likely about to be revealed.
Quickly calculating the information he knew, Kim suddenly felt he might make a huge profit.
Fortunately, he discovered it before the auction.
So, Kim quietly walked away, and Mu Fan’s group didn’t mind.
As the breathtaking girl, exuding the scent of nature, walked ahead, White Hair and the fat guy gave Mu Fan a thumbs up with admiration.
Mu Fan, steady!
This time, Mu Fan and his two companions finally followed Yue Xi to the official entrance of the New Moon Auction.
Surprisingly, there was no complicated tech inspection here, only a simple manual scan for dangerous items before being allowed inside.
The five first walked along a metal corridor into a square room.
There stood an elder with impeccably styled white hair, dressed in a tailcoat, who carefully took the metal invitation and scrutinized the girl before bowing elegantly.
“Princess Yue Xi, welcome to the New Moon Auction.”
Then…
They directly walked into the brightly illuminated and antique-flavored auction hall along the corridor.
That simple?
Mu Fan and his companions simultaneously felt a somewhat absurd sentiment.
These steps were ridiculously simple.
Mu Fan carefully recalled the scene just now, seeming to note that the most crucial step should have been… on that elderly man.
No matter what, they had finally gotten in.
Mu Fan quietly clenched his fists; the three exchanged looks and nodded vigorously.
This time, they were determined to win.
They quickly took their seats. This area was unique, different from the Star Curtain Auction Mu Fan had attended before.
The entire hall’s ceiling seemed boundless at first glance; looking up, they saw the cosmic starry sky, a feeling of vastness and insignificance swiftly emerged from the heart.
Beneath the dome was a massive crescent-shaped light fixture, nearly thirty meters long.
If you didn’t look up, you would surely believe it was gentle moonlight.
Below were separate round tables and circular sofas.
Each force could just fit into these circular sofa areas, creating a sense of independence within the hall.
This ingenious hall decoration instantly elevated the level to infinite heights.
White Hair noticed the sofas’ soft leather and the deep brown wood tables, nodding incessantly.
The level here was ridiculously high…
The Sand Flying Pig’s back leather and the dark wood only produced in the Outer Domain Galaxy, over two hundred years old…
If these furniture pieces were moved out, they would undoubtedly be worth a fortune.
The power of this auction house was indeed unexpectedly strong…
“Sit down; it’s also Yue Xi’s honor to meet you for the first time here.” The girl pointed to the circular sofa seats with a generous hand and then sat down first.
Seeing the host seated, the others followed, but Daisendari was a step faster, shielding the Princess by her side and separating her from Mu Fan’s group.
As they engaged in soft exchanges, the hall’s seats gradually filled.
The lights quietly dimmed.
However, the stage in front of these seats, the semi-circular auction platform, was bright and gentle.
A middle-aged man with a square face and solemn expression slowly walked out, and Mu Fan’s eyelids lifted.
This man was none other than Mr. Xiu Ming!
The guests arriving at this moment were, by his previous description, representatives of third-tier powers and above. Yet, the middle-aged man’s eyes showed no reverence as he blandly scanned the room.
“Welcome, friends, to the New Moon Auction. I’m Xiu Ming, the supervisor here. Some of you may recognize me. The auction will begin soon; first, I’ll explain the rules,” Xiu Ming continued.
“The rules for this auction should already be familiar. Our New Moon Auction’s owner organized this treasure auction to make friends, and the items are secondary. However, each faction can only bid on five items.”
“Lastly, as per our old saying, there’s nothing ordinary in the items at New Moon Auction.”
“Now, let the auction begin.”
All the words said in less than two minutes.
Such swift efficiency and straightforward style left White Hair momentarily stunned, accustomed to various auctions.”
The opening remark is done?
What about the busty host for creating atmosphere?
A middle-aged man with a stiff face spoken briefly, then started, what the hell.
The fat guy was also somewhat bewildered, looking back at the stage and then at his companions.
“The first item, Ancient Altar Crystal.” A man with a similarly calm demeanor replaced Xiu Ming, pointing to the darkness beside him.
A cone-shaped crystal, golden through and through, shone brightly!
Mu Fan was also utterly astonished, hearing a mild stir arise around him.
Because that was… an ancient altar!
He had heard of this term before on Purple Jade Star!
This auction house is not simple…
In the quiet atmosphere, scattered bidding quickly began.
Each force had five bids, some as smokescreens, and others genuine needs.
And Yue Xi was contemplating whether to raise her bid number for a test.
“Don’t rush to raise your bid number,” White Hair’s lips moved slightly; a low voice came while sitting silently beside her.
About to raise her bidding number, Yue Xi glanced at White Hair with some doubt.
White Hair lowered his eyelids and instead, pretended to cover his mouth with a hand to muffle his voice.
“Don’t expose the target too early; bid when it’s counting down to the last second for the real target. For now… better let me do it.”
The main reason they came here was to help Mu Fan.
And now, helping Yue Xi was helping Mu Fan.
The most crucial primary sequence, he never forgot.
Daisendari squinted, looking at White Hair, instinctively feeling aversion.
