Chapter 147 Ticket Scalpers
Chapter 147 Ticket Scalpers
"No! Wuuuuu..." Yu Qian cried loudly in panic, but her body was unable to move.
The reason why she wore a gauze hat was because she had a very scary scar on her face. This scar made her feel extremely inferior since she was a child. She dared not have too much contact with the world and only lived in her own small wooden house.
"Hehe... isn't it just to see your appearance? Is it necessary to make such a fuss?" Du Tianjiao sneered disdainfully, without stopping his hands.
However, when Du Tianjiao took off Yu Qian's gauze hat, his face suddenly became furious.
The monks who were watching gasped when they saw Yu Qian's appearance, and they all pointed fingers at Yu Qian and commented on her.
"How could this be? Looking at her graceful figure, how could she have such a horrible face? Oh... what a pity." One of the onlookers said regretfully.
"Yes! This girl is also a miserable person. No wonder she has to wear a gauze hat and dares not show her true face to others. So that's the case." Someone in the crowd sighed.
"Haha... Could it be that she became someone's mistress and had her face disfigured by the man's wife?" Another monk with a wretched appearance said disdainfully.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a monk dragged him out of the crowd, and then there was a sound of punching and kicking, accompanied by the monk's screams.
All kinds of discussions reached Yu Qian's ears, and every word seemed to pierce her heart like a knife. She wanted to escape from the soul-searching gazes of the crowd.
Her body was restrained and she couldn't move, so she could only close her eyes and cry.
"Pa...pa..." At this time, the angry Du Tianjiao suddenly slapped Yu Qian's face continuously, cursing as he slapped her:
"You bitch! I told you not to be careful! I told you not to break my Seven-Colored Golden Lotus Dew! I told you not to look like a ghost and come out to scare people,
With your face, you can't even sell it, what else can you use to compensate me for my spiritual stones? I must beat you to death today."
Another series of slaps rang out. Yu Qian's face was deformed and blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth. It was a horrible sight.
"Bang..." Du Tianjiao seemed still unsatisfied and kicked Yu Qian to the ground.
"Stop it! Stop hitting me! If you keep hitting me like this, someone will die!"
"Yes! It is forbidden to hurt someone's life in Qianyang City. Just let her go!"
At this time, a cultivator in the crowd finally felt sorry for Yu Qian and began to persuade Du Tianjiao.
"Shut up, everyone!" Du Tianjiao shouted angrily.
"You?" The cultivator had the same cultivation level as Du Tianjiao, also in the middle stage of fusion. Seeing Du Tianjiao scolding him, he was about to teach Du Tianjiao a lesson, but the cultivator next to him grabbed his arm and reminded him in a low voice:
"Fellow Daoist, please don't be impulsive. I recognize that person. She is the Taoist partner of Dong Ping, the captain of the City Lord's Mansion Guard. If you act this way, you might get into big trouble!"
"Ah?" Upon hearing this, the monk shook his head angrily and left.
Yu Qian collapsed on the ground, feeling hopeless at the moment. She thought to herself, "Go ahead and beat me to death. I shouldn't have been born into this world. Rather than living in such pain, I'd rather die in peace. Maybe even if I die, no one will remember me!"
After Lu Chen came out of "Food for Immortality", he went directly to the North City District of Qianyang City. It was said that the auction would be held at the branch of Feiyu Chamber of Commerce in the North City District.
After much inquiry, Lu Chen came to the branch of Feiyu Chamber of Commerce in North City.
The entire branch is composed of more than a dozen tall towers, covering a vast area. Each tower is nine stories high. From a distance, it looks not only magnificent but also majestic.
It is said that this branch is the largest branch in the southern Xinjiang region, and it governs other branches in hundreds of states in southern Xinjiang.
As soon as Lu Chen walked into the small square in front of the Feiyu Chamber of Commerce branch, he was stopped by someone.
"Hehe...Fellow Daoist, please stay! Do you want tickets for the Feiyu Chamber of Commerce auction in three days? If you do, I'll give you a discount."
A middle-aged cultivator approached Lu Chen, looked around cautiously, and laughed in a low voice.
"Oh? Feiyu Chamber of Commerce is just in front, why should I buy the ticket in your hand?"
Lu Chen's mouth curled up slightly. He didn't expect that there would be scalpers selling tickets for an auction.
The monk smiled awkwardly upon hearing this and said, "Haha... Daoist friend, you don't know that the auction held by Feiyu Chamber of Commerce this time is unprecedentedly grand.
The tickets were sold out more than ten days ago, and they were sold in limited quantities. I had something else to do recently and couldn't attend, so I reluctantly gave up and put my ticket up for sale."
After the monk finished speaking, he had a look of deep sorrow on his face, giving people the impression that if you bought his ticket, you would have gotten a great bargain.
"Haha...May I ask how many spirit stones you need?" Lu Chen said with a polite smile.
"Haha... did you see those monks over there? They are the ticket scalpers who specialize in selling tickets. It is said that their price is 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones, which is really scary.
Since I have something urgent to do and can't go, I will give it to you at a lower price, and I will give you 5,000 medium-grade spirit stones."
The monk approached Lu Chen like a thief and whispered,
Lu Chen followed his gaze and saw that there were indeed several cultivators who were enthusiastically stopping the passing cultivators and talking in low voices like him.
"Hehe... I'll go to Feiyu Chamber of Commerce first. If there are really no tickets left, I'll come find you!" Lu Chen smiled.
Then I quickened my pace and left, but I knew in my heart that these people were talking in a guise, and if I took them seriously, I would definitely regret it in the future.
Moreover, they are really shameless to buy a ticket to the auction with five thousand middle-grade spirit stones.
"Okay! Go ask, the result will definitely be the same as what I said, I'll wait for you here..." The scalper monk smiled when he heard this.
Because situations like Lu Chen's are very normal, but basically after asking, they will come back to buy the tickets they have.
Lu Chen walked into the first floor of the Feiyu Chamber of Commerce branch and saw a spacious hall. There were not many monks in the hall at the moment.
The Chinese classical royal style looks very noble and grand, giving people the feeling of walking into a five-star hotel.
There is a consultation desk on the left side of the first floor. Standing inside are two beautiful female monks with upper-class looks and temperament. When Lu Chen walked into the consultation desk,
"Hello, senior! How may I help you?" The two beautiful monks smiled sweetly in unison, their voices sounding like Lin Chiling.
"Hello! I would like to inquire about the auction tickets." Lu Chen said with a polite smile.
"Okay, senior! Let me help you check it." The beautiful woman sent a stream of true energy to a piece of jade stone in front of her that was about ten inches square. The jade stone immediately displayed the information like a computer screen.
Lu Chen could tell at a glance that there was a display formation arranged on the jade stone, and he immediately understood.
After a while, the beautiful woman looked up and smiled:
"Sorry, senior! I kept you waiting for so long! Because the tickets for this auction are limited,
Currently, all the tickets for the regular seats have been sold out. There is only one first-class private room left, five second-class private rooms, and a third-class private room... er... sorry, the third-class private room has just been sold out.
What type of private room would you like to book?"
