Chapter 1094

(Unedited)



Xin Ja sits on his spot while a feeling of excitement is in his heart. This is the first time for him to attend an auction, so one could say that he feels both excited and nervous at the same time. Qing Joming on his side showed a faint smile on his face after seeing the jittery and uncomfortable Xin Ja.

"Hey, relax… I promise you that this auction here would be fun and exciting. Hehe… Well… if you have some money on you, then you might want to bid on some items you like. Just raise that number…" Qing Joming said while pointing at the number pad placed behind the chair in front of him.

Xin Ja innocently takes the number pad and scrutinized it before putting it back on.

"Just raise that one up if you want to bid." Qing Joming repeated.

Meanwhile, the seats are slowly getting filled out as the auction time drew near. Xin Ja could also see some people seated on private booths with some people serving those inside the booth. He could not help but throw those people with curious looks.

"Those guys are rich scions and clans from around Ogden Town and the nearest city. I heard that on one of these booths, someone from the City of Alesia, the city of lore and magic, came through the teleportation channel of Ogden Southern Gate village…"

Xin Ja has heard of such a city from his books before, so he feels a bit curious now.

"Commander Wang Zhou was forced to leave his wounded and still suffering son, and assisted that convoy in entering the town… And guess what, that commander took his son to the town. He is hoping that someone could cure his son's condition. In fact, I heard that he is going to ask a relative to assist them…" Qing Joming added.

Xin Ja was a bit taken aback upon hearing his words. Who is more familiar than him with the condition of Wang Changli? But upon hearing that the Wang father and son have a relative in the town, Xin Ja could not help but think about that person who has the same family name as them.

"Are they related to my master?... If they are, then for my master's sake, I will try to cure that guy then… But I hope that he would not pester Yao Xue and change his attitude for the better." he thought.

Xin Ja is just a bit confused at the attitude of that Wang Changli guy. His master is a very stern and upright person, so how could his relative be like that?

But he also could not blame his master for having such relatives, he could only lament their luck for meeting him at that time.

Soon, he noticed people began discussing when someone appears in the private booth. That person is a veiled woman wearing a light pink gown and silver crown on her hair. Although no one could see her whole face, from her eyes alone and the contour of her nose, they could already deduce that this woman is very beautiful. That… and coupled with her well-shaped body, thin waist, which shows an almost perfect figure, the eyes of the men in the auction house are already glued on her.

The crowd was immediately silent at this time, while Xin Ja already noticed the bulging eyes of Qing Joming as his neck is craned over to that booth on the second floor.

Then suddenly from the corner of his eyes, Xin Ja noticed a familiar figure. It was his father, Xin Jong. Beside Xin Jong is a middle-aged burly man which bears a heroic aura.

"Hey, that's your dad… Would you want to go there and greet him?" Qing Joming said as he has already recovered from his stupor.

"No, it's fine. Papa is a bit busy…"

When Qing Joming heard this, a playful expression appears on his handsome face.

"Oh, so it's… Papa…" he teased.

Suddenly, he stopped and a melancholy expression appears on his face.

"Sigh… You're lucky. Your father really pampers you well… As for me, my father treats me like crap… He would always tell me to do this,… tells me to do that… but no matter what I do, it's still not enough. It was as if, my effort is only laughable…"

Feeling the melancholy in the tone of his friend, Xin Ja just patted his shoulder awkwardly.

He then saw someone he knew.

When he first saw Liu Zhen, Xin Ja viewed her as the young woman he saw in his dreams. But after being with Yao Xue, it seems that he has forgotten about her in his dreams.

Such is the pickle-mindedness of the youths. This is true especially for Xin Ja who has is not that well acquainted with people.

This time, he saw another side of Liu Zhen. She is wearing a white silky gown that flows through her youthful curves. She even wears light makeup which made her looks like a fairy from the heavens who has come to visit the world.

It seems that she could feel his gaze, so she shifted her eyes, and their gaze met. A slightly surprised expression appears on her beautiful face. She then showed a faint smile that attracted the people around her.

Xin Ja nodded his head to greet her cordially. But deep inside his heart, he feels a hint of excitement for some unknown reason. Well, he would deny it, but in truth, he feels excited because someone as beautiful as Liu Zhen has recognized him.

And this made his heart skip a beat.

Suddenly, he noticed her frowning a bit, and then she quickly strode towards their seats near the back.

"You… what are you doing here?" she said while pointing at Qing Joming.

Qing Joming wanted to hide at that time, but who would have known that he would be noticed by her? So he has no choice but to greet this tyrannosaurus cousin of her.

"Hehe… Hello, cousin… I'm here with Xin Ja, we wanted to see this exciting auction, so…" Qing Joming said with a sheepish smile.

"You… are you thinking of creating another trouble?" she berated.

"No… no, of course not." Qing Joming said while waving his hand.

She squinted her eyes and looks at her cousin with suspicion.

"Well, well… if it isn't Qing Joming, the poor alchemist…" someone suddenly said.

The three were distracted and turned towards the source of the voice at the same time.

When Liu Zhen sees who the voice belongs to her expression immediately darkens.

Xin Ja noticed four figures walking towards them. The young man leading the group looks handsome and is wearing an expensive-looking robe. The people behind him also wear something that shows that each of them belongs to an affluent family in Ogden Town.

"Dong Bin… what do you want?" Liu Zhen said in a cold tone.

She did not want to be interrupted when talking to people, so it made her feel irritated.

"Haha… Do not get angry, beauty Zhen… I'm just here to greet your cousin." Dong Bin said with a chuckle.

"You see… I and my friends here are able to enter not because of our… family's influence, but because of our ability… Last few days ago, we were able to concoct a potion, that the auction house wanted to auction, so… we're here." He said with a proud expression.

"Hehe… What kind of potion was it? Is it another of your aphrodisiac potions? Hahaha…"

"You!..." Dong Bin did not expect that Qing Joming would say that in front of his cousin.

"I knew it… pervert as always…" Qing Joming said with a sneer.

"You… just you wait! Just you wait!... Anyway, at least someone would buy my potions… Unlike you who is a poor and a destitute alchemist…" Dong Bin said with a glare and still trying to retort while walking away.

With a sneer on her beautiful face, Liu Zhen stride forward and took a seat beside Xin Ja.

"Hey, cousin, aren't you going to sit with an uncle in the private booth?" Qing Joming asked in confusion.

"What do you know? I'm here to make sure that you did not cause any trouble…" she said with an icy glare.

Qing Joming quickly shuts up and got seated like an obedient dog on his seat.

But Xin Ja could see the pout on his face which signifies that he is not satisfied with his cousin around.

"Hey… I heard that it was your dad who wanted to auction the space bag called the Mule, is this right? I wonder how city officer Xin Jong was able to get his hands on those things..." she whispered beside Xin Ja.

Upon hearing her words and feeling her warm breath on his skin, the hair on Xin Ja's body quickly stands on end.

He is astounded at the ability of the Liu clan to gather information. They even know that the Mule came from his father.

At this time, cold sweat began to form on Xin Ja's forehead. He did not know how to answer that question. If one could consider that as a question.

But then, Xin Wei knew that she is just asking casually and is trying to gather information from him.. However, the way she gathers the information is making Xin Ja feel uncomfortable.
