Chapter30: Qilin Auction House (3)


Officers knocked on the door as they reached the back hall. When the response came, he opened it and invited Shen Yanxiao in.


As she entered the back hall, Shen Yanxiao noticed the handsome young man sitting on a chair wrapped in tiger skin. There was a smile in her bright eyes that was as if stars were gathering in them, and she had an invisible grin at the corner of her lips. She lazily propped up her chin with one hand, and she looked like a cat while basking in the sun on the balcony.


When Qi Xia saw Shen Yanxiao, he was also stunned. He finally understood why the clerk described ‘dia’ as ‘small customer. "


Her thin and frail physique hid behind unadorned clothes, and the pair of bright eyes on her delicate and beautiful face sparkled with the purity and ignorance of someone immature. As for his height, the little man in front of him did not even reach the height of his shoulders, and he looked like he was only thirteen or fourteen years old. No wonder she is described as ‘small customer’.


"Hello. I am Qi Meng, the person in charge here. I wonder what items you have for sale at our Qilin Auction House? " Qi Meng did not dare to trouble Qi Xia for something trivial to serve the customers. So he revealed his esteemed position as a person in charge and quickly served the customers.


"Oh, I have a stack of gold jewelry and utensils that I want to order you to sell. I want to know what kind of procedure I have to go through for it? " Shen Yanxiao had a strange feeling. Although the middle-aged man looked steady and very experienced, he felt that the young man by the side was a person of authority.


Qi Ming smiled and said, "What kind of gold and gems do you have to sell? This must be your first time being at our Qilin Auction House, and hence, you do not understand our rules here. Our auction house rarely auctioned gold and jewelry items. We will only make an exception if it is worth it. "


What is the scale of the Qilin Auction House? If there was any random item that could be brought to the auction there, it would not be enough even if they had expanded the scale of their business tenfold. Moreover, ordinary luxury items could usually be found in other auction houses, and they never liked receiving such basic items.


Unless the items were extremely valuable, otherwise they would not have received them on ordinary occasions.


Otherwise, how could they rise to become one of the three largest auction houses in the capital?


Shen Yanxiao was distracted for a moment. He was indeed unaware of the rules of the Qilin Auction House. Although the item he stole was quite good regardless of its quality or workmanship, but he was not sure of the appraisal standards there.


"It's not that I'm too sure myself. I'll take it out for you to see. " As she was reluctant to think about that detail, Shen Yanxiao opened the interspatial ring on her finger and poured out everything inside.


Qi Meng originally thought that the little boy, at most, had a piece or two of goods, which he thought was a very good thing.


However, as the golden equipment and gems in the interspatial ring continued to flow profusely and then formed a small pile on the ground, Qi Meng's eyes revealed his shock.


With the amount of gold and gems the customer has, the item can be auctioned at a considerable price, even if the quality is low. While looking at them with sharp eyes, he managed to identify some golden equipment that was the masterpiece of a famous craftsman. Other items were also of high quality and could be considered top class as well.


He had not expected that an ordinary-looking little person could produce such a sum of luxury goods, so he must have been surprised by the situation.


Chapter31: Finding Other Targets (1)


Qi Meng looked at Shen Yanxiao's plain clothes and suddenly felt nervous. Although those luxury items could obtain high prices individually, the numbers were still quite small in the Qilin Auction House.


However, that amount of stuff is a game changer. There were at least a hundred luxuries there, and all of them could be of quite high value.


Where did the little guy get all that stuff?


Qi Meng had suspicions, but he did not reveal them. The people in the Qilin Auction House would never question the origin of the items assigned to them. Moreover, he had also seen many simple-clothed customers who had many expensive treasures. Their simple appearance was made to fool others.


"That's all I have. Please look and see if it fits. " Shen Yanxiao was unable to determine the value system in that world, and she was also unaware of the standards they had in the Qilin Auction House. Thus, he could only rely on Qi Meng to assess those items. If they were unwilling to accept it, then he would have to separate it into smaller pieces to be sent to another auction house. Moreover, he had to be extremely careful to avoid the attention of the Vermilion Bird Family. If that was the case, then not only would he get the money he needed slower than he expected, but he could also run into other problems as well.


Qi Meng nodded, then summoned some gold appraisers and gems to review the items scattered on the ground.


As expected, every piece of gold and gem equipment in that pile was of the highest quality. Qi Meng had only seen items of similar quality within the main house of the Qilin Family.


However


"These items are extremely valuable, but there are slight scratches on some parts of this gem. It does not seem like an item by itself, more like part of a complete set. " The jewel appraiser said as he held a few thumb-sized gems in his hand.


As she looked at the jewel in her hand, Shen Yanxiao secretly recalled the scene when she took out the jewel from Shen Jing's jewelry box.


"Can these items be auctioned here?" It is better to ignore unimportant details. He was more concerned about whether the Qilin Auction House would take those items out of his hands.


If they were to measure the standard of goods, it would barely meet the criteria of the Qilin Auction House and this was not a business they could not do without. However, it was not something he would consider at that moment as he paid more attention to the influence and power behind the young man.


Not many people were able to do what he had just done, and that was to produce so many expensive and luxurious items at once.


After he considered the pros and cons of the situation, Qi Meng smiled and said, "Yes, this can be auctioned here. If you have free time, we can immediately sign the agreement. Then we will arrange the auction as soon as possible. "


"Very good." Shen Yanxiao nodded.


He had to admit that the Qilin Auction House was extremely efficient. A while later, Qi Meng had signed a pact with Shen Yanxiao. The deal is pretty easy. The Qilin Auction House would be responsible for the auction of the items that Shen Yanxiao had entrusted to them, and they would collect ten percent of the profits while the rest would be paid to Shen Yanxiao.


After they signed the agreement, Shen Yanxiao did not intend to collect the profits directly. Instead, he discussed with Qi Meng to see if he could use the Qilin Auction House to purchase a number of low-level demon cores on his behalf.


"Are you sure you want to exchange that money for a demon core? According to our current estimates, if we use all of your profits from the auction to purchase low-tier demon cores, you will probably get over a thousand of them. " Qi Meng thought that he should warn the young customer about the large number of demon cores he was about to obtain. Furthermore, Qi Meng knew that there were not many uses of the demon core and rarely would anyone buy them in bulk.


Chapter32: Finding Other Targets (2)


Shen Yanxiao laughed inwardly. He needed no less than thirty thousand demon cores, so a thousand demon cores seemed insignificant to him.


"I'm sure. As for the commission that your Qilin Auction House must collect, you can take the amount directly from the sale of the item. " Shen Yanxiao might be someone new to the auction scene, but she knew that with the reputation of the Qilin Auction House, they would not even want a small amount of money from selling her items.


Qi Meng did not say anything more because he knew that the customer was very decisive in his request. After they signed the agreement, Shen Yanxiao had completed her small trip destination.


However, he was curious about the young man who was in the room with them. He could feel a relentless inquisitive look at her while she was there.


Although his disguise made him look better than before, his appearance was only handsome, at best. When compared to youth, the difference was like heaven and earth. If the other party was female, then at least he could understand their interest in the appearance of ‘dia’.


However, he was clearly a handsome man, and he was also much more handsome than him, many times over!


‘Say, you're a handsome guy, so why don't you stare at another pretty girl? Instead, why are you staring at a rather handsome person of the same gender? ‘


Shen Yanxiao predicted the low-level disguise potion she used would disappear in the near future, so she did not intend to linger there. After he exchanged a few polite words with Qi Meng, he hurriedly fled.


As he looked at the skinny figure who was fleeing in haste, Qi Xia could not help but laugh.


"Your third young master?" Qi Meng looked at Qi Xia's sudden laughter in confusion and felt somewhat scared.


Qi Xia lazily glared at him at a glance. "What do you think of the items the young man brought?"


Did third young master intend to test his evaluation ability? Qi Meng immediately became serious and said, "All goods are of good quality, and for him to take out a large amount of luxury items at once, the customer's background is definitely not as simple as his appearance. Therefore, I only dared to accept this transaction. Furthermore, according to his last request, there must be some use from the demon core in large numbers. Even a hundred people would not be able to digest such an amount. He could be from a wealthy family that wanted to purchase a low-grade demon core to secretly train their subordinates. "


The Qi Meng analysis was quite reasonable. The good thing about the demon core was that it was cheap. In addition, the detrimental effects of such nuclei are also not serious. Thus, it was suitable for families who were unable to use weapons embedded with magic nuclei to use demon cores instead to train their subordinates.


After Qi Xia heard his analysis, he simply laughed and absentmindedly said, "The background is indeed not simple."


A large number of high-end luxury items are not available in just any affluent but ordinary family. Some items were even comparable to ornaments placed in his room. For gold equipment of that quality, there might only be three to four shops in Longxuan Empire that could produce it. Also, most of the products from those shops had been purchased by the various influential factions in the capital, and among them, the five great noble families had the greatest proportion.


However, with their wealth, they did not need to auction that gold to earn money.


Meng Qi analysis was correct. However, he ignored one thing. Although the neglected and damaged quality of jewelry is not bad, which family will place those inferior items among the pile of luxury items that are meant to be sold?


Qi Xia smirked with interest. He was seventy to eighty percent sure about the origin of the items.


The child's skills should be so good that he can obtain high-quality luxury items in bulk!
