I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2358 - 2357: Earth Divine Auction House's Auction, The Woman Who Embodies Chivalry

This marketplace is just like a mortal marketplace.

Although bustling, the things sold here are just daily necessities for mortals, nothing peculiar about it.

But precisely because of this, it makes one feel very strange.

Because it is close to the Divine Ruins.

How could such an important location seem so unremarkable?

Sometimes, things that appear normal are actually the most abnormal.

Xu Zimei also walked around it.

He smiled and said, "Don't you think the people here are quite strange?"

"Strange?" Xu Sanduo glanced around and asked curiously.

"What's so strange?"

"It's not obvious to you, and that's normal," Xu Zimei replied.

"Many people here are not weak in strength."

"Even have very powerful cultivation, why would they live in a mortal marketplace?"

Xu Sanduo fell into slight contemplation upon hearing this.

Xu Zimei inquired a bit; the most lively place in the marketplace currently is an auction house.

Called Earth Divine Auction House.

This Earth Divine Auction House is interesting, not just anyone can enter.

It's said that only those with special quotas have the qualification to enter.

Every time someone crosses, a grand auction is held here.

Xu Zimei vaguely felt that this Earth Divine Auction House might be an opportunity.

An opportunity connecting the inside and outside of the Divine Ruins.

He took Xu Sanduo and the two arrived at the Earth Divine Auction House's location.

The scale here is large, but the setup is quite simple.

If you hadn't heard of the name Earth Divine Auction House, you probably wouldn't pay attention upon arriving.

Because a new auction is about to start, many people are heading here.

These people wear black bamboo hats, concealing their identity.

Each person carries a Token.

To enter the auction, this Token is the credential.

When Xu Zimei and Xu Sanduo reached the door, they were naturally stopped.

"Sorry, Earth Divine Auction House is a membership-based auction; outsiders are not allowed,"

The guard at the gate said sternly.

"Then how can we become your members?" Xu Sanduo couldn't help but ask.

"To become a member, you must have an ancient artifact as membership eligibility," the guard said.

"As for whether the artifact is suitable, our Earth Divine Auction House reviewers will inform you."

"An ancient artifact?" Xu Sanduo could only cast his eyes on Xu Zimei.

He himself is so poor, where would he get an ancient artifact.

But Xu Zimei just smiled and said, "Why bother with such trouble? Since the Token is the pass to the auction, we can just snatch one."

Xu Zimei casually glanced around.

With the auction about to start, there were many people holding Tokens entering here.

Snatching a Token isn't difficult, is it?

"You're it," Xu Zimei casually looked at a black-robed person wearing a bamboo hat and directly reached for them.

The black-robed person was alert and quick to react, sensing something instantly.

But, this was also Xu Zimei's reluctance to hide.

The black-robed person quickly retreated, but unfortunately, in Xu Zimei's eyes, he was still too slow.

Xu Zimei waved his large hand, and the black-robed person was instantly immobilized on the spot, the Token hanging at his waist seized by Xu Zimei.

"What do you want to do?" the black-robed person asked in a heavy voice, both shocked and fearful.

Though angry, when looking at Xu Zimei, the fear in his eyes overwhelmed everything else.

His own strength wasn't weak, but when Xu Zimei made a move, he had no chance to resist.

It even felt like being toyed with.

This made the black-robed person realize he had encountered a true powerhouse.

"Borrow your Token for a use; it will be returned after use," Xu Zimei said.

"Is this how you borrow things?" the black-robed person couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.

"If you're unwilling, you can snatch it back, dare you?" Xu Zimei said calmly.

The black-robed person hesitated.

At this moment, a voice sounded beside him.

"Hey, I say, you're really bold to snatch something in broad daylight."

This voice was crisp and caught many people's attention.

Xu Zimei turned his head to look, seeing a woman in a light white long dress, with a Longsword hanging from her waist, speaking with an air of heroism.

Beside the woman in white dress was another woman, older, wearing a colorful long robe, looking poised and graceful.

The two women bore some resemblance, possibly sisters.

A group of guards stood behind them.

It was clear their identities were unusual, having guards accompany them out, and their strengths weren't weak.

The woman dressed in white was immediately stopped by the colorful-robed woman, who gave Xu Zimei an apologetic smile.

"My younger sister doesn't know better, I hope you'll be understanding, this matter has nothing to do with us."

"Sister, the way of chivalry demands taking action when encountering injustice," the woman in white dress said discontentedly.

"Enough, Shuang'er, your chivalrous way must be measured; not everyone requires your aid," the colorful-robed woman shook her head slightly.

During their exchange, Xu Zimei didn't bother to reckon with them.

He handed the Token to the guard at the gate.

Saying calmly, "Now I can enter, right?"

"This...I fear it's a bit unorthodox," one of the guards said with some difficulty.

"No worries, go ahead...you go ahead, we only recognize the Token, not the person," another guard quickly explained.

Seeing Xu Zimei lead Xu Sanduo inside.

The guard who spoke earlier expressed dissatisfaction, saying, "Why should we let him enter? It's against the rules."

"Rules are rigid, people are flexible," another guard explained.

"You're too rigid, too slow to react. I saved your life, do you understand?"

"When you refused earlier, that man already emitted killing intent, didn't you notice?"

"Dare to snatch a Token in front of us, as if he wouldn't dare to kill us?"

"So what, if he kills us, would Earth Divine Auction House let him go?" the earlier guard said.

"Whether Earth Divine Auction House lets him go, what does it have to do with us? We've been killed.

Even if Earth Divine Auction House avenged us, we cannot rise again from the dead."

That guard said.

"How many Spirit Crystals do you earn monthly, to risk your life for others?"

Upon hearing this, the other guard reacted.

Quickly expressing gratitude, realizing he saved his life.

...

Entering the Earth Divine Auction House.

Xu Zimei discovered it remained very simple.

Originally thought there might be inner mysteries, yet it seemed just as simple as outside.

This Earth Divine Auction House was crowded.

Above was a high platform filled with numerous boxes, presumably containing auction items.

Below were many seats, accommodating at least several thousand people sitting simultaneously.
