Chapter 154 - 154: Waiter
Ji Jing looked at them suspiciously. She didn’t think too much about it, but her intuition told her that the two of them seemed to be playing some kind of riddle.
Song Chao couldn’t learn Lin Han’s tricks, so he asked with a smile,”Little
Daoist, can we carry out some vulgar and direct monetary transactions?”
He didn’t have the capital to be as generous as Lin Han, so he should just buy some Calming Talismans.
“Hmm? What do you mean?” Ji Jing asked.
“I want to buy some more Calming Talismans that you gave me last time.” Song Chao said frankly. “Last time, I gave it to the employees. They all said it was useful.
“So it’s this.” Ji Jing laughed. “Of course, I can make some more, but it will take some time.”
“Good, good, good!” Song Chao nodded.
“I can wait.”
These two people had some understanding of metaphysics, but they did not go deep into it. They probably thought that capable Taoist priests were like those “masters” who were difficult to invite and difficult to buy talismans.
However, there was no such thing at all.
Ji Jing shook her head in her heart. There were already very few people who believed in this, and even fewer people who were willing to spend a lot of money.
“Knock, knock!” Suddenly, there was a knock on the door leading to the hall. They turned around and saw an unfamiliar waiter standing outside.
“The auction is about to begin. Please head to the auction venue.” When the waiter saw them looking over, he put on a standard smile and gestured for them to look at the back of the hall. The door to the auction hall had already opened.
“Then let’s go.” Song Chao was the first to stand up. “Little Taoist, do you want to go with the Ji family or with us?”
Before Ji Jing could answer, the waiter interrupted their conversation. “Are you
Miss Ji Jing? Your private room is ready. I’ll take you there.”
Hmm? Private room? Ji Jing frowned. Ji Ying had never mentioned that they would receive such treatment.
Ji Jing secretly observed the tall and unfamiliar waiter in front of her.
Suddenly, she had a feeling that she seemed to know this waiter. Who was he?
Lin Han and Song Chao thought that it was the Ji family’s arrangement, so it was not surprising that the richest man in C City had some special treatment.
“Then I’ll be leaving first.” Ji Jing temporarily suppressed the doubts in her heart and nodded at Lin Han and the other man before following the waiter to the venue.
When Ji Jing walked into the hall, she saw many guests heading towards the auction venue.
The waiter led Ji Jing to the stairs on the second floor. They passed through a long corridor and arrived at a luxuriously decorated room.
The waiter politely and elegantly stood at the side and pushed open the door for Ji Jing. A spacious, bright, and luxuriously decorated room came into view. The first thing Ji Jing saw was a huge floor-to-ceiling window. Outside the window was the auction venue.
The private rooms of the auction were only open to specific guests, which had a good view and perfect privacy protection. Ji Jing thought that she would see Ji Ying and Ji Yao here, but she didn’t expect the room to be empty. When she walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down, she realized that Ji Ying and Ji Yao were sitting in the hall like most of the guests.
Ji Jing felt that something was wrong and turned around. Then, she realized that the waiter had also entered the room and closed the door.
Being alone with a stranger in a strange, enclosed room, Ji Jing surprisingly didn’t feel nervous at all. Could this waiter be…
“Jingjing.” The waiter smiled at Ji Jing, and his figure suddenly began to change, revealing a familiar face.
“Ming Ze!” Ji Jing called out in surprise. She took a few steps forward.” Why are you here?”
“I just happened to receive an invitation. I heard that you would be attending, so I came over to take a look.” Ming Ze pulled Ji Jing to sit on the sofa and poured her a glass of juice. “How is it?” Did you find it?
In fact, he knew that there would be something that Ji Jing wanted in this auction. He had already planned that no matter if Ji Jing found it or not, he would buy it for her, even if it broke some of the principles of the Bai Ze clan.
“I found it! Auction item number thirty-seven, that piece of Rain Flower Stone was left behind by Nuwa, right?”Ji Jing looked at Ming Ze expectantly, wanting to verify it..
