Chapter: 204
The exhibition center is a circular domed building with a circle of floristry and art shops on the outside, and the auction hall in the middle.
This newly built exhibition center was constructed with grandeur and ancient charm.
Ye Chen followed Song Wanying and took the panoramic glass elevator to the top floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, an art-filled exhibition hall suddenly appeared before us, with ancient-style paintings hung on the walls around. This is the auction hall.
A red carpet was laid out in front of the auction stage, with rows of plain sofas and chairs below, filled with wine, drinks, and fresh fruits on the tables for noble guests to enjoy.
Compared to the previous auction, it's clear that Jewell Palace has put in a lot of effort this time, probably spending nearly millions just to rent and set up the venue.
Song Wanying's box was in the front row, dead center, when suddenly everyone heard a commotion behind them.
Ye Chen only managed to turn his head around just as a group of people pushed their way from behind him and forced him to step aside.
He furrowed his brows, looking at the group of people walking towards them through the corridor, led by several bodyguards.
"Has Master Yu also arrived?" Song Wanying whispered in surprise, raising her head to gaze at the crowd.
The people who pushed their way in were all noble guests attending the auction, but at this moment they were all surrounding a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe, his face cold and haughty, with an air of utmost reverence.
Ye Chen took a glance and said, "So this is Master Yu. He's quite impressive......"
Master Yu was surrounded by people calling out to him from behind, walking forward as he casually pulled out a pale yellow triangular symbol and handed it to the most obsequious-looking old man among them, saying in a low tone, "Today we have a connection, so I'll give you this free pass, which will ensure your safe passage and prosperity at home."
"Thank you, Master Yu."
"That old man's face was full of surprise and delight, as if receiving a precious treasure. He tucked the peace token into his bosom like hiding a treasure, and said to those around him: 'The peace token from Master Yu is indeed very powerful. I go to seek it every year, and thanks to Master Yu, my business has been thriving over these few years.'"
"The people in the crowd looked on with envy. Some people dared to ask for it from Master Yu, but Master Yu just ignored them."
"One of the assistants standing beside Master Yu let out a cold laugh and said to the crowd in Cantonese: 'Do you think Master Yu's peace token is something that can be obtained easily? Other people come to our immortal hall to seek peace tokens, at least twenty thousand per piece!'"
"The crowd returned to their senses and someone immediately shouted loudly."
"It's rare for Master Yu to come to Jinling City, I'm willing to pay twenty thousand for a peace token. Please, Master Yu, grant me one.'"
"I'll also buy it! Grant me one, please.''
"Master Yu's peace token is priceless, twenty thousand is nothing. I'll buy five!''
"The scene was lively and chaotic, with many old merchants immediately making down payments to purchase Master Yu's peace tokens."
"'Form a line, come one by one.'"'
"The assistant grew impatient and recorded each person individually, the scene was fiery."
"The Master Yu said, 'What's so special about these peace tokens that they're so expensive? It seems like you can earn money too easily.'" JrNovels.com
