That Day Will Never Come
"What? He didn't intend to auction it, but to exchange it for the Black Jade Golden Knife? Do it for him! The Tendon-Changing and Bones-Improving Pills are priceless. So many pills are far more valuable than the Black Jade Golden Knife. We have profited a lot." The old man stroked his beard. The surprise and joy made his face turn red.
However, after hearing the old man's words, she didn't say anything immediately. After thinking for a moment, she frowned and said, "Mr. City L, I don't think we can exchange!"
"Why? Don't you know the value of this pill, lass?" The old man was shocked and his beard was raised.
"That's not true, Mr. City L. It's precisely because I know about the extraordinary qualities of this Tendon-Changing and Bones-Improving Pills that I said that we can't exchange for it." Qiangwei's eyes lit up as she slowly said.
"Oh?" The old man's eyes widened.
"We can be sure of the identity of this young man. He must have a great background. If we take advantage of him today, how can we make friends with him in the future? If we can leave a good impression on him, maybe this kind of pill will have a long-term resource in our auction house. Compared with this long-term plan, tens of millions of profits are simply insignificant." Qiangwei said with fervor and assurance.
"Well, you're right. You're right! Little girl, you deserve to be the most intelligent female disciple in my sect I'm not as good as you in terms of mind and bearing." Mr. City L admired her happily after hearing what she said.
"Mr. City L, you're flattering me. In this case, I'll make the decision!" Qiangwei said in a crisp voice, returning to the state of smiling like a flower.
"Good, good. If it is really as you said, you can make friends with this person successfully, you have made a great contribution." Mr. City L clapped his hands and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Mr. City L. Though my cultivation is not high, I have always been proud of my ability to read people. The young people outside won't let us down." With that, Qiangwei took Xiao Yi's bottle of Tendon-Changing and Bones-Improving Pills and turned back to the auction house.
The auction ground suddenly quieted down. No one believed that the thing in Xiao Yi's bottle could be exchanged for a precious knife.
Qiangwei took a deep breath and walked to Xiao Yi with a smile. She opened her red lips and said, "Mr. Xiao, please put away this bottle of pills!"
"Hooo" All of a sudden, there was a burst of laughter under the stage.
"I thought that this kid could really offer some amazing things. What do you think? Was it returned by her?"
"Haha, as I said, unless Qiangwei is crazy, how would she exchange the precious knives worth tens of millions!"
The crowd looked at Xiao Yi with disdain.
"You just get lucky to exchange strange stone, but you actually wanted to trade a useless bottle for a treasured knife worth tens of millions. Are you addicted to it? Pfft!" Wang Hanwen shouted loudly.
"This is the inferior nature of the poor. They are insatiable!" Lin Feifei echoed.
However, Qiangwei coughed and clapped her hands. She said loudly to all the players, "Everybody, I think you've misunderstood."
The crowd became quiet at once.
"I asked Mr. Xiao to put away his pills. It's not because this is worthless, but because our auction house just made an important decision." Qiangwei looked at Xiao Yi with a smile in her almond-shaped eyes.
"What decision?" Everyone asked one after another.
"That is, we have decided to give this Black Jade Golden Knife to Mr. Xiao as a present!" Qiangwei said with a smile.
"What?" Everyone exclaimed. Many of them staggered and almost fell from their seats.
"Why?"
"That's worth tens of millions! Is Qiangwei insane?"
The crowd shouted excitedly.
However, Qiangwei looked calm. She reached out to hold up the golden knife together with the bottle of Tendon-Changing and Bones-Improving Pills and brought it to Xiao Yi. She smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, these elixirs are really too valuable. We can't accept it. Since Mr. Xiao likes this Black Jade Golden Knife, we will give them to you as a small meeting gift."
"Oh, my God, what kind of gift is worth tens of millions at a time as a meeting gift? Why don't I have such good luck?"
"Isn't this kid too lucky? I can't take it anymore!"
Whether it was a cultivator or a mortal, upon seeing this scene, all that was left in their hearts were only envy and jealousy.
Wang Hanwen's and Lin Feifei's jaws dropped as if they had been struck by lightning. They could not believe their eyes.
"Why?"
"Why" Wang Hanwen sat on the chair with a green face.
Only Xiao Yi smiled after hearing what Qiangwei said.
Xiao Yi knew why Qiangwei suddenly gave the golden knife to him. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't refuse. Instead, he reached out and took it.
"Ah! He is so careless! Mother, did God send him here to provoke me?" The scene was filled with grief and jealousy. It seemed that the jealousy was so substantial that it could not be dissolved.
However, when Xiao Yi took the golden knife, he did not take the Tendon-Changing and Bones-Improving Pills bottle. He said with a smile, "In this case, I thank Miss Qiangwei for your good intentions. However, no effort, no reward. It's better to leave this bottle of pills in your line of business."
"Mr. Xiao, please accept these pills.." Upon hearing that Xiao Yi was unwilling to take back the Tendon-Changing and Bones-Improving Pills, Qiangwei was a little anxious and said in a hurry.
Upon hearing the words of Qiangwei, everyone on the stage became embarrassed once again. The mysterious and charming Qiangwei had never been like this before. Comparisons were odious.
"Don't worry, Ms. Qiangwei. I will never forget your good intentions." Xiao Yi smiled, turned back to his seat, and sat down.
As soon as he finished his words, Qiangwei breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been reassured. She finally returned to her usual calm and said to everyone with a smile like a flower, "Everyone, today's auction will end here. Thank you for coming. Next time, I hope you can come to the auction again! Mr. Xiao, please move backstage!"
In this way, under the envious, jealous eyes, Xiao Yi stood up and walked to backstage, accompanied by the beautiful figure of the roses.
Wang Hanwen looked at Xiao Yi's back and then looked at the ugly grass that he had spent 10 million gold coins to purchase. The corners of his mouth twitched violently and he almost fell over.
"Honey, are you all right?" Lin Feifei screamed.
The corners of Wang Hanwen's mouth twitched. He suddenly stood up and yelled at Xiao Yi, "Kid, remember our bet. Three days later, I want you to crawl under my crotch in front of all the young and old men in the capital!"
Xiao Yi did not stop after hearing Wang Hanwen's words. Without turning his head, he said calmly, "That day will never come!"
Then, along with Qiangwei, Xiao Yi disappeared into the backstage.
"Hmph, you b*stard! I'll go back and make an appointment with the media!" Wang Hanwen walked out in a flustered and exasperated manner. The moment he took a step, he tripped over the Quatrefoil Grass beneath his feet and almost fell to the ground.
"D*mn it!" Wang Hanwen kicked the flower pot to the ground, snorted angrily and left.
Looking at his vigorous back, Qin Changfeng couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart. He shook his head and bent down to pick up the Quatrefoil Grass from the soil and put it into his pocket.
Qiangwei served Xiao Yi a pot of delicate green tea in the private room behind the auction house. She slowly sat opposite Xiao Yi and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, to tell you the truth, our auction house received one just a few months ago about the Origin Dew you were talking about. However, the client didn't need cash. He must exchange the best quality pills for it. In the end, no one could get the elixir he was satisfied with, causing the Origin Dew to have passed in."
"Oh?" Xiao Yi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
"That's right. If Mr. Xiao can still take the best pills, I can help you contact the client." Qiangwei pushed the tea bowl in front of Xiao Yi and said with a smile.
"That won't be a problem!" Xiao Yi agreed without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Qiangwei was overjoyed. It seemed that the man in front of her was an extraordinary person. She rolled her eyes and continued to say cautiously, "In this case, I will contact you immediately. But apart from that, I also have a presumptuous request. I wonder if Mr. Xiao can agree?"
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "You want me to occasionally take out a pill and auction it at your auction house, don't you?"
"Yes!" Qiangwei nodded hurriedly and said honestly, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Xiao, although I have a little fame in Jing City, there are not many good things at my disposal. Therefore, I can only represent the market with secular relics. The things really that can be taken are very rare in the Cultivation World. If Mr. Xiao can help me, then our auction house will definitely be different from the past."
What Qiangwei said was very true and she didn't hide her intention at all. Because she had long realized that in front of people like Xiao Yi, all pretences were unnecessary. The more sincere she was, the more likely she would win Xiao Yi's favour.
Sure enough, the words of Qiangwei made Xiao Yi slightly nod his head.
Seeing Xiao Yi nod, Qiangwei was very happy and hurriedly continued, "And, Mr. Xiao, you can rest assured that for all the pills that Mr. Xiao has entrusted to be auctioned, our auction house will never charge the commission. We are doing it to gather popularity in the industry."
After listening to the words of the roses, Xiao Yi smiled and said, "You don't have to do that. You can charge as much commission as you want. There is only a win-win situation in the business field, which can last longer!"
"Yes, you're right, Mr. Xiao!" Qiangwei was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
"Today, I did not bring any other medicinal pills with me. Those Tendon-Changing and Bones-Improving Pills should be sufficient for you to digest for a while. As for the 'Origin Dew client,' all you need to tell him is that the medicinal pill will definitely satisfy him!"
Xiao Yi said as he stood up.
"Okay, Mr. Xiao, please rest assured!" Qiangwei also stood up in a hurry.
"In that case, I'll take my leave. If there's any news, send it to the Baicao Hall!" Xiao Yi said as he strode out.
