Chapter 3951

Xiao Hua nodded when he saw how powerful the sea breeze was. "The winds and clouds above the North Sea are unpredictable. No one knows when a tsunami will appear. Yu Ling Bay is right by the sea. Naturally, it will be the first to be affected."

As he spoke, Xiao Hua looked outside. Whether it was the Yi Residence or the Yi Shop, they were all glowing. It was obvious that the demon array of Yu Ling Bay was slowly activating to resist the strong sea breeze.

As Xiao Hua and Ying Po were talking, the sea carriage actually flew up again towards the foot of the mountain.

"Aiyo …" Xiao Hua looked up and saw a few majestic palaces standing at the foot of the mountain. Amidst the raging sea breeze, wisps of light appeared around the palaces. Xiao Hua couldn't help but ask in astonishment, "Could Zhai Xing Lou be in one of these palaces?

Damn it, I always thought that this was Yu Ling Palace's place! "

"Yu Ling Palace is filled with the Water Clan of the North Sea Dragon Palace. Although they can leave the water, they still like to stay in the water!

Yu Ling Palace is built underground in the mountain and is connected to the North Sea. They will not build their palaces on the mountain! "

Ying Po smiled. "Only Zhai Xing Lou is wealthy enough to challenge the North Sea Dragon Palace and build palaces on the foot of the mountain!"

Xiao Hua frowned and narrowed his eyes. He looked at the approaching palaces and asked curiously, "Is Zhai Xing Lou so powerful?

They can actually … challenge the North Sea Dragon Palace? "

"How powerful is Zhai Xing Lou? This is a question that I considered when I first formed the Continuous Merchant Alliance. Then, I started to gather information to find the answer. But … even now, I do not know the answer to this question!

Actually, there is no need to think too much. Look at Yu Ling Bay. All the powers rely on the North Sea Dragon Palace. Only Zhai Xing Lou has built palaces on the mountain. This is enough to show how powerful Zhai Xing Lou is! "Ying Po said with some fascination.

Xiao Hua smiled. He had not expected that Zhai Xing Lou, whom he had met in the Bronze Pillar Country, would actually be so powerful. It looked like he would have to reevaluate the words of Zhu Qing.

However, thinking about it from another perspective, Duanmu Qing and Murong Congyun, who were both secondary first-rank aristocratic families, were well-behaved in Zhai Xing Lou. Even the East Sea Dragon Palace's Patrol Envoy was well-behaved. Presumably, Zhai Xing Lou would not be as unbearable as Xiao Hua had previously thought, right?

"Woo …" A huge gust of sea wind swept over, and the entire carriage finally couldn't withstand it. It spun in the air and crashed towards the mountain peak!

Xiao Hua's figure flashed and appeared in midair. With a shake of his big sleeves, he covered the sea chariot. After that, Xiao Hua transformed into a rainbow and landed on the ground. Looking at Ying Po who was unable to fly out of the sea chariot in time, he said with a smile, "The sea breeze is so strong, you don't need to accompany this Xiao to the auction. You can go back first!"

Ying Po pondered for a moment and nodded, "The sea breeze is indeed too strong. There won't be too many monsters participating in the auction. My strength is too weak, and I might delay the auction. It's better for me to turn back!"

Then, Ying Po reminded him again, "The token of the Continuous Merchant Union in Zhai Xing Lou's hands should be useful in Zhai Xing Lou. Don't forget to take it out when you enter!"

"Hehe, this old man knows. You can go back now!" Xiao Hua smiled and transformed into a rainbow again. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived near the palace.

Seeing Xiao Hua's figure disappear, Ying Po took a deep breath and muttered, "Zhai Xing Lou, I hope you won't disappoint this one!

In order to pull Zhai Xing Lou into the Merchant Union, this one had a falling out with the nine elders! "

The affairs of the world were very strange. Many accidental factors were often more decisive than certain factors. If the Continuous Merchant Union had developed normally, with the efforts of Ying Po and the elders of the clan, it might have been able to develop. However, this development was filled with hardships.

Every day, countless merchant unions and trading companies appeared in the three continents. Every day, countless merchant unions and trading companies closed down. Perhaps, this kind of Continuous Merchant Union would disappear one day.

However, they had met Xiao Hua. They had met Xiao Hua, who had come to Yu Ling Bay to look for Ao Zhantian. This mere chance encounter had completely changed the fate of the Continuous Merchant Union.

Perhaps many years later, when Ying Po and the nine elders thought about this seemingly hasty decision, they would be very glad that they had seized this one and only opportunity.

Xiao Hua didn't think as much as Ying Po. His figure was flying in the air, and he had already seen clearly that in front of the palace, there was a pavilion that was dozens of feet tall. On the pavilion, there was a signboard that was about ten feet tall, with the words "Zhai Xing Lou" written on it. These three words looked exactly the same as the ones Xiao Hua had seen in the Bronze Pillar Nation. They were written by the same person. However, Xiao Hua didn't dare to underestimate them now.

And when Xiao Hua withdrew his contempt, those three big words looked extremely wonderful again. It was far from having the aura of the secular world that it had in the past.

"Damn it …" Xiao Hua looked at it for a moment, then withdrew his gaze and smiled bitterly. "Are the words good, or is this Xiao's heart dirty?"

Along with Xiao Hua's figure appearing in front of the pavilion, a respectful voice sounded out from within. "Greetings, Senior …" Then, a light pillar that was like a ladder stretched out from the pavilion, and a young man in plain clothes walked out from within. He respectfully saluted and said, "Senior, have you come to participate in the auction?"

"Yes …" Xiao Hua stood in the air. Although there was no light around him, the sea breeze didn't even lift a corner of Xiao Hua's daoist robe.

"Senior, please …" The young man took a few steps forward, and the light pillar also extended and covered Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua didn't need to use his magic power, and the light pillar brought Xiao Hua into the pavilion.

The interior of the pavilion was similar to the Zhai Xing Lou in the Bronze Pillar Nation. It was a huge open space, and the ground looked like a huge glass. Xiao Hua could clearly see the low vegetation on the mountain peak swaying helplessly in the sea breeze.

On both sides of the open space, there were already some dragon horse carriages. There were also some sea beasts lying obediently on the ground. Several tall sea race people were holding strange weapons in their hands, guarding these carriages.

After the open space, there was a huge palace. Behind this palace, there were also many interconnected palaces. It was much larger than the Zhai Xing Lou in the Bronze Pillar Nation.

At this moment, the palace's doors were wide open, and more than ten men in plain clothes stood there in an orderly manner. They all had smiles on their faces.

"Senior, this way please …" The young man was well-trained. He waited for Xiao Hua to pause for a moment and clearly see the situation around him, then he raised his hand and said respectfully.

"En …" Xiao Hua nodded and followed the young man to the front of the palace. The ten men respectfully bowed at the same time and said in unison, "Greetings, Senior!"

"Rise!"

Xiao Hua nodded and walked closer to the Zhai Xing Lou. After entering the Zhai Xing Lou twice, Xiao Hua was no longer the unknown Daoist cultivator of the past.

Sure enough, as Xiao Hua had expected, the moment he entered Zhai Xing Lou, he was faced with the same screen. Xiao Hua had originally wanted to pass by it, but after taking two steps, he stopped and turned to the man behind him. "What's your number?"

The man was stunned, then he smiled and said, "Senior, I'm here to welcome guests. I don't have a number."

"Oh." Xiao Hua nodded and said with a smile, "In that case, you don't know anything about this screen?"

"Screen?"

The man was stunned, then his expression immediately changed to one of respect. He said, "Senior, since you know about the screen of my Zhai Xing Lou, you are naturally my Zhai Xing Lou's distinguished guest. Senior, please wait a moment. I'll ask the chief steward to come over."

"Okay!"

Xiao Hua thought for a moment and simply stood there without moving. The man didn't dare to leave. He took out a jade slip and flicked it. The jade slip flew out soundlessly. He then said to Xiao Hua, "Senior, please wait a moment. My chief steward will come over immediately."

In just a few breaths, a beautiful cloud appeared not far away. Then, a woman even prettier than the clouds walked out. When the woman saw Xiao Hua, a strange expression appeared on her face. She didn't even walk close to him and immediately said respectfully, "So it's Daoist Xiao. Junior Zhong Qiao greets senior …"

Seeing that Zhong Qiao recognized him at a glance and flew over, Xiao Hua was no longer surprised. Some people in this world were born to be chief stewards. Xiao Hua's strength was outstanding, and he believed he had a photographic memory for cultivation techniques and other aspects. However, he never dared to place high hopes on himself when it came to judging people's faces.

"Oh?"

Xiao Hua raised an eyebrow and raised a hand to lift Zhong Qiao up. He smiled and said, "I thought the chief steward was a man. I didn't expect you to be an outstanding woman. People often say that women are not inferior to men. Indeed, it's true."

Zhong Qiao stood up and said with a smile, "Senior, you flatter me. I'm just an ordinary person. I do what I should do and get what I should get."

"Well said!"

Xiao Hua clapped his hands and said, "The matters of the world are so simple. However, many people don't understand!"

Zhong Qiao smiled and asked, "Senior, may I know why you've come to my Zhai Xing Lou?"

Xiao Hua was about to answer, but his heart skipped a beat and he asked again, "I occasionally passed by Yu Ling Bay and heard that there was a Zhai Xing Lou here. I wanted to see if Zhu Qing was here."

"Haha, I'm here. Of course, Zhu Qing isn't here!" Zhong Qiao said with a smile. "As for where Zhu Qing is, I don't know either."

"In that case, I can only ask Miss about the matters of the Xingyue Palace?" Xiao Hua asked again.

"Senior, you're indeed here for the matters of the Xingyue Palace!" Zhong Qiao said with a smile. "It looks like the Xingyue Palace is fated to be with you!"

"Oh?" Xiao Hua's eyes lit up and he asked curiously, "Could it be that … there's news about the Xingyue Palace?"

"This is not the place to talk. Senior, please come with me!"

Zhong Qiao looked around. Although it was the same as before and there were no other cultivators or members of the Sea Race nearby, Zhong Qiao still felt worried and said.

"Mm!" Xiao Hua nodded. Zhong Qiao raised a hand and pointed, and a spiral staircase appeared beneath their feet.

Under Zhong Qiao's lead, Xiao Hua came to a loft.

Xiao Hua looked at the loft that was similar to the auction house in the past and said with a smile, "This is the high platform of the auction house, right?"
