Chapter 29: Qilin Auction House (2)

  Turning decay into magic, it's just right to describe Qi Xia's business acumen. It's also because of Qi Xia's exceptional abilities that the current head of the Qilin family went against the majority and exceptionally designated Qi Xia as the successor ahead of time.

  Facing the future master of the house, Zimon didn't dare to be even slightly slow. His little tricks were simply child's play in Qi Xia's eyes.

  Qī Xià's lips curled up, a lazy smile blooming at the corner of his mouth, like a noble and elegant cat.

  "It's barely acceptable if you can get in touch with Feng Qiu Cheng." Not wanting to make things too difficult for Qi Meng, Qi Xia waved her hand and let him off.

  Qilin Auction House occupies a significant share among all auction houses in the Imperial Capital. Apart from the prestige of the Qilin family, it is mainly because the items sold at Qilin Auction House are mostly rare and difficult to find elsewhere. In the Longxuan Empire, everyone knows that the best items must be taken to Qilin Auction House, not only because its commission fees are lower but also because the Qilin family has extensive connections, ensuring that auctioned items can sell for far more than expected.

  "Thank you, Third Young Master." Qi Meng swallowed his saliva, although he was facing a mere sixteen-year-old youth, the oppressive feeling that Qi Xia gave him was in no way inferior to that of the current head of the Qilin family.

  A knock at the door broke through the suffocating sense of oppression that had been weighing on Zhi-Ming.

  "Come in." Qi Xia said.

  The attendant of the auction house came in and said respectfully: "I'd like to report to the three young masters, there's a small guest outside who says he has some things that need to be entrusted to us for bidding."

  "Little guest?" Qi Xia slightly raised her eyes and smiled: "Since you're a guest, then bring them in."

  "Three Young Masters..." Qi Meng was shocked, could it be that the Three Young Masters were going to personally receive this person?

  Qixia gave Qimeng a look, and Qimeng didn't dare say anything more.

  ……

  Shen Yan Xiao stood at the entrance of the Qilin Auction House, watching the servant's back as he left, and subconsciously touched his own disfigured face.

  The low-grade disguise potion worked well, although the duration was a bit shorter, but it just met her needs. Three hours were enough for her to entrust things, and if the duration were any longer, she really wouldn't know how to face the Zhuque family with this face on.

  The current Shen Yanxiao, compared to her original appearance, has improved slightly. Her skin is whiter and her facial features have undergone a significant change. Although she doesn't look particularly beautiful, she can be considered delicate. Wearing men's clothing, she looks like a young boy in his teens. To avoid drawing attention, Shen Yanxiao thoroughly added an "insole" to her boots, which is a useful invention of modern society in this world.

  Now she has not only changed her appearance and gender, but also her height has undergone some changes. It is estimated that even if Shen Siyu walked by her side, she would not notice any clues.

  Before long, the attendant who had gone to report back came back and asked her to go to the back hall of the auction house to discuss specific matters.

  Shen Yan Xiao followed the servant to the back hall, but her eyes kept scanning the servants coming and going around her, her gaze flashing over the items being sent to the front hall for auction.

  This can't-be-taken-but-can-only-be-looked-at feeling made Shen Yanshao, who had a severe case of occupational disease, extremely itchy.
