Chapter 64: Another High-Quality Spirit Stone?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the end, Jiang Ping compromised.
Sometimes, he really regretted telling the three girls bedtime stories. Why did they always remember them so well?
Just like this so-called auction.
In the past, the three girls didn’t know what an auction was because there was no such thing in Xiaoyu Town.
But once, when Jiang Ping was telling the three girls a story, he accidentally mentioned an auction.
At that time, Jiang Ping created a sense of mystery to the audition, as he wanted his three daughters to feel that he, who had been to the auction, was very powerful. He was practically boasting about the auction.
He said that there were all kinds of magical treasures in the auction. There was nothing that couldn’t be found there.
‘When the three girls heard that at that time, the yearning in their eyes could not be hidden at all. They clamored to go to the auction.
However, they could not go at that time, so this left the three girls with a lot of regrets.
Now that they suddenly heard the word “auction’, the little ones immediately became excited. No matter what, Jiang Ping had to bring them in to take a look.
Jiang Ping sighed. Who asked these three little ones to be his precious treasures? He could only helplessly say, “Alright, then we’ll go in and take a look. But remember, it’s just a look. You must not cause trouble for me.”
“Otherwise, I will never bring you out to play again!”
“Alright!”
The three girls immediately clapped their hands in satisfaction and replied in unison.
In the hall of the Hundred Treasures House.
After understanding the purpose of Jiang Ping’s visit, the middle-aged man who was responsible for guarding the entrance of the auction looked at Jiang Ping, then looked at Wan’er and her siblings with a strange expression. Finally, he revealed a bitter smile and said, “I’m sorry, sir. The auction that is
currently being held inside is extremely high-level.”
“Only important figures in Fusheng City are able to join the auction today. They all have an exclusive invitation from us. We really can’t let anyone else in.”
“L know that you want to bring your daughters in to broaden your horizons. To be honest, I also want to let such cute young girls in, but this is the Hundred Treasures House’s rule.”
“If I take the liberty…”
Jiang Ping laughed bitterly in his heart.
He didn’t expect that the person in charge of the guards was also a chatterbox.
However, his attitude was good. He was straightforward and didn’t hide or look down on others.
Jiang Ping naturally didn’t want to make things difficult for him. He wasn’t even interested in this auction.
However, when he felt the expectant eyes of Wan’er and the others, Jiang Ping could only helplessly take out a high-quality spirit stone from his storage space and handed it to the man.
He chuckled and said, “With this, it should be enough to prove my identity, right?”
‘The man was talking non-stop when he was suddenly interrupted by Jiang Ping. He could not help but feel a fire burn in his heart, and then he felt his hand sink.
‘When he focused his eyes, it turned out to be an exquisite and clear spirit stone that was emitting a green-blue light!
‘The man’s mouth immediately opened wide!
He stared at the spirit stone in a daze for a long while. Then suddenly his whole body shivered as if he had come back to his senses. He hurriedly handed the spirit stone back to Jiang Ping.
He stuttered, “Sir, this is a high…high-quality spirit stone, right?”
‘As a worker of the Hundred Treasures House, he had a certain level of understanding of such things, even though he was just a guard in charge of the door.
Naturally, he knew that the quality of spirit stones could be determined with just a glance by the color of the spirit stones.
‘Wasn’t a spirit stone that was emitting a green and blue light a high-quality spirit stone?
Under his shocked gaze, Jiang Ping slowly nodded his head and said, “That’s right, this is a high-quality spirit stone. Do you think that I can now prove that I have the qualifications to enter?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” the man replied repeatedly.
Although the influential figures in Fusheng City would receive an invitation letter from their Hundred Treasures House, it was inevitable that they would miss out on some experts who lived in seclusion in the mountains or came from other places.
Jiang Ping looked too young, but the indifferent and otherworldly temperament on his body, as well as his ability to casually take out a high-quality spirit stone, made him have no doubt that Jiang Ping must have a powerful background.
After all, there were very few people in Fusheng City who owned a high-quality spirit stone.
Although ten middle-quality spirit stones could be exchanged for a high-quality spirit stone, high-quality spirit stones were actually much rarer. Many large powers clearly had dozens of middle-quality spirit stones, but they could not exchange them for high-quality spirit stones!
If a person with a high-quality spirit stone was not even qualified to enter the Hundred Treasures House’s auction, who else could be qualified?
‘The man immediately changed into a cautious expression and respectfully said, “Please wait a moment, sir. I will ask the manager to personally receive you.”
With that said, he hurriedly waved his hand and beckoned to a servant standing behind him, whispering in his ear.
That servant hurriedly ran to the back.
This was also an instruction from the owner of the Hundred Treasures House. If any important figure that he had not seen appeared, he had to inform the manager. That way, he might be able to form some good relationships.
Even if it was not possible, it could fully show the sincerity of the Hundred Treasures House and leave a good impression on the other party.
Of course, there was another reason. This man was actually a little uncertain whether the spirit stones in Jiang Ping’s hands were actually high-quality spirit stones.
Very soon, the manager of the Hundred Treasures House rushed over.
He was a middle-aged man with a gray beard and yellow hair.
Seeing the person who had come, the guard hurriedly went up to greet him. He gave him a look and said respectfully, “Manager, this is the gentleman.”
The manager nodded, tidied up his clothes, and walked up to Jiang Ping with a smile, saying, “Honored guest from afar, I apologize for not welcoming you. I hope you can forgive me!”
“I don’t deserve it,” Jiang Ping replied indifferently.
But with a glance, the manager’s entire body instantly froze.
He stared intently at the high-quality spirit stone in Jiang Ping’s hand, not saying a word or moving at all.
After a while, the guard called out softly by his ear, and he finally reacted.
He quickly bowed and smiled apologetically at Jiang Ping, “I’m sorry, I lost my composure. I apologize for making a fool of myself.”
Jiang Ping smiled and shook his head, saying, “It’s fine, but I don’t know if we can go in now. My three little girls are getting a little impatient from waiting.”
“If you don’t let Wan’er go in, she will get angry!”
‘Wan’er immediately cooperated with her father’s words and puffed up her cheeks.
“That’s right, we will also get angry!” Yan’er and Liu‘er also echoed at the side.
The manager quickly apologized, “It’s my negligence. Please follow me in, Sir and these three…young ladies.”
“Twill arrange a VIP room for you.”
After saying that, the manager immediately turned his body and made a gesture of inviting them in.
With his experience, he could easily tell that Jiang Ping was holding a high-quality spirit stone in his hand!
Although a person who owned a high-quality spirit stone might not be a big shot, he definitely had the qualifications to sit in a VIP room!
