Chapter 157 - Faked Composure
“What are you intending to purchase this time?”
Removing the sound barrier, Gu Xi looked at Su Zimo and smiled.
“Nothing much. I’m just casually browsing.”
Even though he did not know what they were talking about, Su Zimo gathered that it must have something to do with him. Naturally, he would not reveal his plans foolishly as well.
Gu Xi smiled and did not ask further. She changed the topic and said, “The auction will start very soon. Why don’t you sit here? If you take a liking to anything, I might even be able to help.”
Despite the disparity in their statuses, Gu Xi was extending invitations to him repeatedly. Su Zimo made up his mind and thought, ‘Since I’m here, I’ll just go along with the flow. It’s not as though they will do anything to me either.’
With that, he sat down comfortably and started eating the fruits on the table as though there was no one else around.
Through the crystals in front of him, he could clearly see that the seats outside were already filled.
The difference in price between spirit stones of different grades was immense.
Normally,a hundred inferior-grade spirit stones was equivalent to a single middle-grade spirit stone.
A hundred middle-grade spirit stones was equivalent to a superior-grade spirit stone.
Of course, there were supreme-grade spirit stones above superior-grades.
If the bids earlier were referring to superior-grade spirit stones, Su Zimo’s 100,000 odd middle-grade spirit stones would only be equivalent to around 1,000 or so superior-grade spirit stones! He couldn’t buy anything at all!
Gu Xi commented at the side, “Anyone who’s been to the Sky Treasure Auction House will know that bids in the inner house are made with superior-grade spirit stones. If supreme-grade spirit stones are to be used, they would be mentioned explicitly.”
Su Zimo nodded. He looked calm and composed, pretending that he had known about it all along. However, he complained secretly in his heart, ‘This is awkward now…’
To normal people, Su Zimo’s composure may have been able to fool them. However, he could not hide from Gu Xi and the girl in pink.
What sort of cultivation did Gu Xi have?
A single look was enough for her to read through Su Zimo’s lies as she smiled faintly.
The girl in pink looked at Su Zimo with narrowed eyes. However, she did not expose him as well and merely smiled foolishly.
Suddenly, the girl in pink felt that this green robed scholar was rather interesting.
Under the girl in pink’s watch, Su Zimo could barely hold it in anymore.
‘Even if I continue staying here, I can’t buy anything. I might as well leave earlier.’
At that thought, Su Zimo stood up. Right as he was about to bid farewell, an item was brought forth in the auction that attracted his attention.
