1885 Meeting Zhao Dier 2

Zhao Dier had initially planned to confront Gu Chaoyan and her companions, seeking to a.s.sert her dominance. However, feeling humiliated, she decided to seek a.s.sistance from Wuxing.

To her surprise, Wuxing was ingratiating himself with Gu Chaoyan’s group, even offering to guide them around using the reputation of Piaomiao Pavilion. In comparison, Zhao Dier felt insignificant.

This turn of events enraged Zhao Dier, pus.h.i.+ng her to seek further help.

For years, Piaomiao Pavilion and Haitian Auction House had maintained a cooperative relations.h.i.+p. It wouldn’t be a big issue to drive away individuals without any magical weapons or pills, right?

If that happened, Zhao Dier was determined to provide all her pills to the Haitian Auction House.

As soon as Zhao Dier called out for a.s.sistance, the auction house guards appeared.

“Elder Miss Zhao, what’s the matter?” The guards recognized Zhao Dier as a familiar face and addressed her by name. Moreover, being from Piaomiao Pavilion, they held her in high regard.

“I’ve brought a significant quant.i.ty of pills for the auction today. If you drive them away, it will ruin my appet.i.te. They can come in anytime they want, but as long as I’m here, they are not allowed entry!” Zhao Dier stubbornly a.s.serted. She added, “Piaomiao Pavilion has recently introduced some new pills, and if they’re driven out, all the pills will be exclusively offered at the Haitian Auction House.”

Zhao Dier made an enticing offer.

Piaomiao Pavilion indeed produced excellent pills, which were in demand these days.

If the newcomers were driven out temporarily, they would be seen as entirely different from Zhao Dier.

The guard pondered for a moment before responding, “Can you leave for now? Return to the auction house in a few hours. We’ll compensate you with a low-level magical weapon in exchange for the pillst.”

Obtaining a Dharma artifact and enchanted armament within a few hours was already a great deal, the guard believed.

“No.” Gu Chaoyan outright rejected the offer. “We have the time right now.”

The guard found himself in a quandary. It wouldn’t be appropriate to drive them away directly.

Observing the guard’s hesitation, Zhao Dier became furious and shouted, “Get her out! If you don’t remove her, I’m leaving!”

The guards found themselves in a difficult situation.

After pondering for a moment, the guard spoke, “Please leave. If you require them, you can come to the Haitian Auction House to obtain some low-level magical weapons and pills. If not, then forget about it.”

Gu Chaoyan hadn’t antic.i.p.ated encountering such a situation.

Fortunately, she had made some preparations the day before; otherwise, today would have been quite humiliating.

Gu Chaoyan searched her belongings, retrieved an authority token, and placed it in front of the guard. “Didn’t you mention that the authority token grants free access to the auction house? What’s the point of driving her out?”

“A golden… card?” The guard was dumbfounded.

Haitian Auction House was vast, and very few people possessed a gold token. Even Zhao Dier, a member of Piaomiao Pavilion, did not have one.

If her claim was true, driving her away could lead to trouble.

“Is this genuine? Who gave it to you?” the guard asked.

“How did you obtain this? It can’t be fake, can it?” Zhao Dier questioned bluntly.

“It’s real,” a voice interjected.
