It was the third watch, the night was hazy, and the semicircle moon cast a soft silver glow over the grassland.

Snoring one after another; crackling firewood; and the sound of the wind rustling the leaves.

A man stared expressionlessly at the ever-changing flames in front of him. He didn't know how long it had passed before a graceful voice appeared behind him and put a thin robe on him.

A pair of jade stones were wrapped around the man's neck, and he whispered softly, "Can't you sleep? If you have anything on your mind, just tell Xinyi and don't worry about it anymore."

After coming back to his senses, there was a hint of sadness between the man's brows. He gently held the woman's cattails. He looked at the carriage in the distance and said melancholy, "Xinyi, am I too indecisive?"

"The previous battle between Elder Niu Hong and Oscar was originally a good opportunity! No matter which side we choose, we will gain something, but I..."

Before any further words were spoken, two jade fingers gently pressed on Li Xiang's lips.

Tang Xinyi walked gently to Li Xiang's side, sat side by side with him, and looked sideways at Li Xiang's face. She gently smoothed Li Xiang's frown with her hands.

She looked at her husband with trusting eyes and said, "Who in this life can seize every opportunity? Since you have missed it, let it pass! As long as you encounter similar situations in the future, husband, you can make an immediate decision , then this time it will be rewarding.”

"Isn't it?"

Looking into Tang Xinyi's clear eyes, Li Xiang said nothing, but held her against his chest in silence.

But when he thought of the crossbow in Ma Hongjun's hand, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

He seems to have made a decision!

......

In the early morning, the mist gradually dispersed, and a few unknown birds landed on the branches next to the grass, chirping, and the dew on the grass blades gathered into drops and slid down along the main ribs.

Inside the tent, Oscar sat cross-legged. As the active pale golden energy on the surface of his body gradually converged in his body, Oscar let out a heavy breath.

The eyes that were originally closed suddenly emitted a confident light as they opened and closed. Walking out of his tent, Oscar stretched his body.

Ma Hongjun and Zhuju interrupted their practice. After washing up, the three of them got into the carriage and headed towards their destination under the control of the groom.

At noon, the three finally arrived outside Blazing City.

Opening the curtain, Oscar looked up at the majestic city tower made of purple-red bricks. He couldn't help but feel relaxed. Looking down, he saw a small group of soldiers in military uniforms standing near the city gate holding long swords.

After getting off the carriage, Oscar took out a few gold soul coins and handed them to the carriage driver. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work! This is my reward for you!"

Looking at the few gold coins in Oscar's hand, the coachman was flattered for a moment. Although his eyes were full of desire, he did not dare to reach out and take the gold coins.

After a battle between heaven and man, he still took the gold coin with slightly trembling hands. After thanking him repeatedly, he set up the carriage and disappeared from the sight of the three of them.

Seeing the three Oscars entering the city, the guards respectfully welcomed the three Oscars into the city.

In the past few days, whenever they meet young people traveling in groups of three, the guards will be very respectful, because they all understand that these people are soul masters who are participating in the Fire Spirit Competition.

Entering the city smoothly, the three of them felt very comfortable as they looked at the busy streets and the continuous hawking sounds.

After finding a good hotel at random, and settling down, the three of them went to a restaurant and enjoyed the food here comfortably.

When paying the bill, Oscar casually took out a golden soul coin and handed it to the waiter and said, "Besides the Fire Spirit Competition, are there any other activities in the city recently?"

Looking at the golden soul coin in Oscar's hand, the service eyes ignited with passion. He happily received the gold coin and said to Oscar, "Of course! The Fire Spirit Competition is a major event in our province of Heathers. Whenever the competition is about to start, , there will be a large number of elites in Blazing City who will rush into the city crazily, and Blazing Auction House will also take this opportunity to hold a grand auction."

"And the auction will be held this afternoon! If the three guests want to see if there are any items they need, they can go there now, just in time!"

"Even if there are no items that customers are satisfied with, there may still be some items auctioned at the auction..."

Having said this, the waiter's face couldn't help but reveal a smile that only men can understand.

Apparently our evil fire phoenix instantly understood the unknown content of the waiter's words. After the waiter left, Ma Hongjun pulled Oscar's arm with some excitement and said.

"Brother Ao! I haven't been to the auction house yet! Let's go and have a look too!"

"Besides, we are about to participate in the competition, so it would be good for us to buy some useful treasures."

Listening to Ma Hongjun's hypocritical reasons, Oscar rolled his eyes at him.

After passing through the crowded crowd, the three of them walked to the end of the street. They slowly stopped and looked up. A huge building stood in front of them.

On one side of the building, on a stone pillar, five large characters "blazing auction house" with flying dragons and phoenixes are carved on it.

Walking into the magnificent hall of Blazing Auction House, a rather pretty receptionist showed a professional smile and said, "Three adults! Please go to the capital verification office first and provide proof of assets. There will be someone to entertain you later." Enter the auction venue."

Under the guidance of the receptionist, the three people came to the capital verification office and came to a counter with a desk for capital verification staff.

At the counter, a young-looking man glanced at the three Oscars and handed them an iron token very perfunctorily.

Such an attitude of the young man ruined the good mood of the three of them.

After taking the token, the three of them saw the words "Hall No. 40, Row [-]" engraved on the token.

Seeing the location described on the iron plate, Ma Hongjun's eyes ignited with raging anger. Before Oscar could speak, Ma Hongjun slapped the counter hard and said angrily, "All assets are not inspected? Just give us this one? Look down on us?" "

Seeing Ma Hongjun's angry expression, the young man sitting at the counter showed a trace of contempt and disdain on his face. He gently turned the alarm button and waited for the security personnel to arrive without saying a word.

Obviously, the young man's attitude once again angered Ma Hongjun. He pointed at the young man and said, "What do you mean? Are you wasting my time without saying a word?"

Soon, several strong men wearing the same uniforms came over. The middle-aged man at the head asked the young man, "What happened to Zeng Mang?"

Seeing the security officers coming from the auction house, the young man named Zeng Mang said sarcastically, "Cousin, they are another genius from a small town who refuses to accept the token I gave them."

After hearing Zeng Mang's strange words, the big man's expression did not change at all. He seemed to have roughly guessed what happened.

He estimated that the three young men in front of him should be geniuses from a certain city in the province. Since they were used to being arrogant in small cities, they would lose their temper habitually when they did not enjoy preferential treatment here.

This kind of thing was very common on the eve of the Fire Spirit Competition, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Of course, there must be some "contribution" to it from my cousin's nephew, but I don't care about helping relatives.The big man had no intention of condemning Zeng Mang in public.

Looking at Ma Hongjun, the big man released the soul king's aura from his body. He said coldly, "Please abide by the rules of the auction house! Don't act recklessly!"
