Amid the accusations of the crowd, the Maimen disciple gradually realized that his behavior had aroused public anger, and his attitude was no longer as arrogant as at the beginning.
But he was unwilling to just queue up like this, so he stood there, with hesitation and anger in his eyes.
Finally, under the gaze of everyone, the guard called out two more people and personally escorted him to the end of the team.
The Maimen disciples reluctantly returned to the team, still muttering:
"Hmph, just wait and see. When I enter the auction, you'll be in trouble."
Zhuge Lan looked at his back and said with a smile:
"He's still not giving up. I want to see what tricks he can come up with at the auction."
Dugu Bo said:
"Don't worry about him. Let's focus on whether there is anything we need at the auction."
Just as the guard was walking back, he inadvertently glanced at the black card in Dugu Bo's hand.
He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then walked towards Dugu Bo.
He frowned slightly and asked:
"You have an invitation, why are you still queuing here?"
Dugu Bo was slightly stunned and hadn't reacted yet.
At this time, the guard raised his hands and said to Dugu Bo:
"Excuse me, could you please show me your invitation letter?"
The invitation the guard was referring to was obviously the black card given by the man in the crimson robe.
Dugu Bo and Zhuge Lan looked at each other and understood each other.
Dugu Bo naturally handed the black card in his hand to the guard.
After the guard took the black card from Dugu Bo, he took a careful look at it.
Then he quickly bowed, his face full of apology:
"I am so sorry, sir. Those who hold invitations can enter the venue directly through a special passage without queuing. This was our oversight for not informing you in advance."
When Zhuge Lan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled to himself.
Dugu Bo had no expression on his face, and just said lightly:
"Really? I thought everyone had to line up to get in."
He said this, but he was panicking inside.
After all, how could he know that this black card was the so-called invitation letter...
at this time.
The guard gave his professional fake smile and said respectfully:
"Sir, please come this way. I will take you and your companions into the venue through the special passage."
As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation and led Dugu Bo and Zhuge Lan to the side.
The guard led them around the long line and toward a nearby passage.
Zhuge Lan patted Dugu Bo on the shoulder:
"Haha, you old bastard, I didn't expect that this black card is actually the invitation letter... If I had known, I wouldn't have to wait in line for such a long time."
Dugu Bo smiled, said nothing, and followed the guard to a special passage on the side.
When the people around saw this, they all looked at him with envy, especially the disciple of Mai Sect, whose eyes were filled with jealousy and resentment.
They walked through a wide corridor with precious calligraphy and paintings and exotic decorations hanging on both sides of the corridor, showing the extraordinary style of the auction.
After a while, they came to a richly decorated door.
The guard gently pushed open the door, revealing a spacious and luxurious room.
The floor of the room is covered with thick, extremely soft carpet. Every step you take feels like you are sinking into the clouds. The delicate touch makes you want to step on it barefoot.
A huge and dazzling crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling. Countless crystals reflect colorful light, making the entire room as bright as day.
The room was surrounded by rows of exquisite chairs, which were covered with expensive silk fabrics and embroidered with exquisite patterns, showing luxury. On one side of the room was a long bar, which was filled with various rare wines and exquisite wine glasses.
The wine list is extensive, ranging from vintage wines to rare spirits.
In the corners of the room, there are some valuable antiques and artworks, some are lifelike sculptures, some are priceless paintings, each of which exudes a unique artistic charm.
"Dear sir, you and your companions can take a rest here. The auction will not start for a while. I will notify you again when the time is up."
An auction attendant with a proud figure, wearing a tight black uniform that conceals her perfect and graceful figure.
She spoke respectfully to Dugu Bo, then stepped out and closed the door gently.
Zhuge Lan drooled at the waitress's figure.
Dugu Bo looked at Zhuge Lan's squinting face.
A slap on Zhuge Lan's head brought him back to reality.
Dugu Bo said unhappily:
"You kid, can you be a little more ambitious? You just stare at the girl, aren't you afraid that your eyes will fall out?"
Zhuge Lan touched his head and said with a chuckle:
"You old bastard, you know nothing! This is called the love of beauty. It's common for everyone. It would be a waste if I didn't take a second look at such a pretty girl. Besides, I'm appreciating beautiful things, which helps improve my aesthetic level."
Dugu Bo rolled his eyes at him speechlessly and snorted:
"Just keep complaining. Tell Su Biluo when you get back, and I'll ask her to punish you!"
Zhuge Lan immediately put away the smile on his face and said to Dugu Bo fiercely:
"It's no fun if you keep betraying your own people like this."
Dugu Bo turned his head away:
"Tsk, the auction will start soon, don't embarrass yourself in front of me. Any item here is worth a fortune, and if you cause any trouble, we will be in big trouble."
Zhuge Lan waved his hand nonchalantly and said:
"Oh, I know, I know! I'm not a three-year-old child."
Zhuge Lan sat down on the spacious and soft sofa and laughed:
"Dugu Bo, we are so lucky this time! This black card is actually an invitation. Haha, look at the way those people in the queue are looking at us. They are all so envious."
Dugu Bo also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled helplessly:
"I didn't expect that, but it saves a lot of trouble."
He walked to the window, looked out, and saw the lively scene outside. He couldn't help but look forward to the auction.
"But then again, what good stuff is there in this auction? It's so mysterious."
Zhuge Lan said while eating snacks.
"No matter what happens, we have to be careful. There are all kinds of people here, so we can't take it lightly."
Dugu Bo reminded.
Zhuge Lan was eating snacks and felt a little thirsty. When he saw the various fine wines on the bar, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He ran to the bar excitedly, picked up the bottles of wine and looked at them again and again, then asked Dugu Bo:
"Want some?"
Zhuge Lan picked up a bottle of foreign wine that looked very luxurious and shook it in front of Dugu Bo.
As a result, one of them didn't hold it firmly, and the wine fell directly to the ground... (End of this chapter)
