Chapter 349 Strong Pressure
Amid the old man's furious roar, a young man with a somewhat feminine appearance quickly came into everyone's sight. When he saw Hong Feng, his gaze paused briefly. It was obvious that he knew Hong Feng, or knew who she was, and was surprised that Hong Feng could appear here safely.
The old man got angry when he saw him confessing something. Huang Xiao was actually the male favorite of the chief auctioneer of Yehuang Auction House. He got to the position of hall master relying on the chief auctioneer's strength and prestige. He did a lot of stupid things on weekdays, but they turned a blind eye to these things for the sake of the chief auctioneer. They didn't expect that today the other party would bring trouble to the head of an alchemist who could refine perfect quality seventh-grade elixirs!
"Huang Xiao, apologize." The old man frowned and did not give Huang Xiao any chance to explain. It was obvious that he wanted to force him to express his attitude.
Huang Xiao heard the old man's words, but calmly turned his eyes to Lin Zhao, as if he had not heard the old man's order, and asked: "I wonder who this girl is? The girl behind you is the one my friend Huang is planning to take away. Why is she with you?"
This sentence really shocked Lin Zhao. She had seen brainless people, but she had never seen someone so brainless. If he could still make excuses based on Hong Feng's behavior before, now his words undoubtedly admitted that he allowed a family to snatch someone in front of the auction house because of private matters!
This would be a big deal in that auction house.
So Lin Zhao ignored him, but just expressed surprise and looked at the old man.
The old man's face immediately turned red, "How rude of you!"
The next moment, Lin Zhao felt a pressure emanating from the old man, rushing straight towards Huang Xiao.
Huang Xiao's status was all gained by his promising husband. In terms of real cultivation, he was not even at the Nascent Soul stage. How could he withstand the pressure from an old man at the early stage of Fusion?
In an instant he knelt down in the direction of Hongfeng.
Although he forced him to kneel down, the old man's expression did not look much better, because he knew that although Huang Xiao was a man, he was actually petty and calculative. Today, he had humiliated Huang Xiao, and the feud between him and the chief auctioneer was completely established.
"Zhou Ye, how dare you do this to me?" Huang Xiao moved, and when he found that his entire body was controlled by Old Zhou, he didn't even bother to maintain superficial politeness and directly called Old Zhou by his name.
His words also drew disdain from other auction house staff.
A person in the Heart-beating Stage directly addressed a senior in the Fusion Stage by his name. Not to mention that he was only a hall master, while Old Zhou was an elder-level figure in the Yehuang Auction House. Even the owner of the auction house had to be polite to him. Only Huang Xiao, who was ignorant and fearless, dared to treat Old Zhou like this.
Do you really think that you can offend anyone just because you have a chief auctioneer behind you?
Although Mr. Zhou didn't want to have a bad relationship with the chief auctioneer, it didn't mean he was afraid.
At this point, seeing that Huang Xiao still didn't know what he had done wrong, Zhou Lao laughed angrily: "I really am like this, what do you think?"
Today the chief auctioneer was present in person, and Zhou Ye forced Huang Xiao to kneel down and apologize!
Huang Xiao looked at Hong Feng hatefully, then glanced at Lin Zhao with a deep gaze. It was unknown what he was thinking of. When Old Zhou slightly reduced his pressure, he crushed a summoning talisman in his hand.
Lin Zhao saw this scene but said nothing.
She wanted to see what else this man, who obviously had some schemes against her, could do.
Soon, a middle-aged man who walked slowly towards her gave her the answer.
When Old Zhou saw the man, he sneered. The man waved his hand lightly, and Old Zhou's pressure was dissipated. Huang Xiao also stood up, walked behind the middle-aged man, and whispered something to him.
The middle-aged man's elegant and handsome face glanced at Lin Zhao and said with a smile, "I wonder what the relationship is between this girl and Miss Hong? I am Yang Tuo, the chief auctioneer of the Yehuang Auction House. I asked Huang Xiao to help me be a matchmaker and bring Miss Hong and Mr. Chen together. I didn't expect to see Miss Hong here. It's always a case of overdoing it and something unexpected happened."
With just two or three sentences, this person twisted Huang Xiao's sheltering and Chen Ze's robbery into his good intentions of matchmaking and his own failure. He completely shirked his responsibility and made it seem like they were ungrateful.
No wonder Huang Xiao, a brainless guy, could become the head of the Yehuang Auction House. It turns out that he was blessed by a master.
Lin Zhao sneered, "Matchmaking? Master Yang is talking about matchmaking. Does it mean that Young Master Chen brought a few Yuanying stage masters to block my senior sister and not let her enter the sect, and threatened my senior sister's family to let her go with him? This kind of matchmaking is not something that I, the disciples of the Phoenix Medicine Sect, are lucky enough to enjoy."
Yang Tuo caught a few words in Lin Zhao's words, glanced at Huang Xiao unhappily, and roughly guessed Lin Zhao's identity: "Could the girl be Wu'an Hou Lin Zhao?"
Lin Zhao said, "I am Lin Zhao, the young master of the Phoenix Medicine Sect. What can I teach you, Master?"
"My information was wrong."
After knowing that the other party was Lin Zhao, Yang Tuo sighed, as if expressing regret, while Huang Xiao had a vicious gleam in his eyes.
This Lin Zhao was obviously the culprit who made Mr. Zhou force him to kneel down. He would never let this woman go.
Knowing that Yang Tuo was looking for a female monk to serve as his cauldron recently, he told Yang Tuo the news about Lin Zhao.
He has been with Yang Tuo for decades, and the reason he has always been favored by him is not only because of his skills in bed, but also because he has been able to find beautiful women for Yang Tuo.
He also vaguely knew that the female monks who followed Yang Tuo seemed to have disappeared, but Yang Tuo himself handled the matter very well, so he was only responsible for finding people.
So the moment he saw Lin Zhao, her beauty and temperament immediately gave him this idea, and after Mr. Zhou forced him to kneel down and apologize in public, this idea took root.
He was determined to make this woman die a miserable death.
However, no matter whether it was the other party's identity as Marquis Wu'an, or her identity as a member of the Phoenix Medicine Sect, or her talent and strength as a seventeen-year-old Nascent Soul and able to refine seventh-grade elixirs of perfect quality, it was all doomed. If Yang Tuo dared to attack her, he would be seeking his own death.
After Huang Xiao realized that Yang Tuo had given up the idea, his expression remained strange, and his malicious eyes wandered over Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao naturally noticed his gaze, and after blocking Yang Tuo, she had no intention of letting him go: "Master Huang, apologize to my senior sister."
Huang Xiao naturally refused. He had been arrogant and domineering for so many years. Hong Feng was just a stinky girl from a poor family. If it weren't for Lin Zhao, she would have been Chen Ze's concubine. How could she be worthy of him taking a second look at her?
And you want me to apologize?
But his supporter did not stand on his side this time, and said to him indifferently: "Apologize to Miss Hong, Huang Xiao."
Huang Xiao clenched his teeth and met Yang Tuo's gaze, he could only say to Hong Feng: "It's my fault, I'm sorry, Miss Hong."
Lin Zhao observed him and said, "Speak louder and be more sincere."
Huang Xiao's fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound. Hong Feng wanted to persuade Lin Zhao to give up, but Lin Zhao insisted on seeing Huang Xiao bow 90 degrees to apologize, with his eyes red, before he said to Zhou Lao: "Senior, please take me and my sister to see the person in charge."
She had already confirmed some things, so there was no need to test them further.
