C316 North Cold Society
"Is this place the Cold Palace?" Ji Lei looked at the towering palace, and his heart couldn't help but surge. Seeing the hall of Cold Palace, he immediately walked into the palace.
"Halt!" However, just as Ji Lei was about to take a step forward, a figure suddenly stopped Ji Lei.
Ji Lei looked at the person who looked like a bodyguard with a puzzled expression. He then asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"The Northern Cold will only start tomorrow, so no one is allowed to enter today! "Also …" The guard looked Ji Lei up and down and immediately said: "You are not allowed to enter without the token!"
"You still need a token to enter this place?" Ji Lei was a bit scared by this and the surroundings were not quiet either. There were indeed a lot of people wandering around. When they saw Ji Lei's clothes, they couldn't help but look at him with disdain.
In any place, people like Ji Lei, who wore weird clothes, were always looked down on, and outsiders were more likely to be bullied. Therefore, this guard didn't even put Ji Lei in his eyes and arrogantly said: "If you don't have the token, then let's go!"
Ji Lei was pushed around by the guards just like that, and then he took a step back. Ji Lei was not angry, and the most important thing for him to do now was not to get angry at these idiots who look down on people. Right now, Ji Lei was thinking about how to get the order badge to enter Cold Palace.
"Hey, hey, get out of my way!" He pushed Ji Lei away. Ji Lei turned around and saw a teenager in a black coat standing in front of him, a few freckles showed that the kid was still growing, but he did not seem to be short anymore, at least half a head shorter than Ji Lei. Frost State people were generally tall.
However, although this brat was shorter than Ji Lei, his arrogance was not low at all. He looked at Ji Lei with disdain as if his nostrils were reaching the sky.
"Who are you? Why did you push me? " Ji Lei was a bit angry and couldn't help but to ask. However, that brat didn't even bother to look straight at Ji Lei and asked confidently: "Who are you? Obstructing my path? If I don't push you, should I make way for you? "
"Such an unreasonable brat!" Ji Lei thought in his heart. However, he was not in a hurry to deal with this brat. This brat seemed to be rich and had some background. Ji Lei was out there alone, so he couldn't do anything impulsively.
Seeing that Ji Lei did not make a sound, the brat snorted in disdain and swaggered towards Cold Palace with his followers behind him.
"I don't think Cold Palace can't be opened?" Ji Lei was suspicious, so he stopped. He wanted to see what exactly was going on, but next, that brat actually easily entered the Cold Palace! He didn't even show the token to the guards!
"What does that mean?" When Ji Lei saw this, the anger in his heart started to rise! He walked up to the guard and grabbed him by the collar, wanting to interrogate him.
However, the guard got rid of Ji Lei's hand. His eyes were full of disdain and he did not even bother to look Ji Lei in the eye: "Who do you think you are? Shouting loudly in front of the Cold Palace gate? This is Young Master Li from the Li Family! In the entire Northern Cold, it was extremely famous! Who do you think you are? If you state your name, I can also let you in! "
The guard's words immediately made Ji Lei's flame burn fiercely. Looking at the frivolous expression that deserved a beating, Ji Lei could not help but want to punch out and greet him!
After thinking about it, Ji Lei still hid his fist. This was not Ji Lei's territory. If Ji Lei was here, this group of people would have definitely arranged everything so that Ji Lei would not fall for it.
"Didn't you say that Northern Cold will only start tomorrow?" Ji Lei said coldly, "Then why did he go in?"
"If you were me, you would say the same thing to an ordinary person." The guard smiled coldly, he was obviously lying to Ji Lei, but doing such a thing was normal for them, after all, Cold Palace was such a noble place. How could he let an ordinary person in and cause a ruckus?
Ji Lei was so angry that he couldn't speak. The guards kept provoking him again and again, and this already made Ji Lei's eyes fill with a cold murderous intent!
"I'm not lying to you, right? The Northern Cold will indeed only start tomorrow, but today, these rich and powerful families in the Northern Cold will prepare all the things they need. Do you understand?" The guard bared his white teeth as he smiled brilliantly. To the big families, the auction was just an expensive merchant guild, there was no such thing as an auction. As long as I wanted something, I would pay for it, and this item would be mine.
This was power, a power that ordinary people could not enjoy. It was always linked to money.
A mere auction would at most be a surface game for the wealthy and influential clans. As long as you agree to it, Cold Palace will help you do whatever you want, even if it's not as bad as it sounds right now.
However, behind the scenes, it was just a happy scam. As a person without power or influence, no matter how high the bid was, if it wasn't yours, then it wasn't yours. If you got tricked, you could only dejectedly leave.
These were the rules. The ones who made the rules were never the great daos of the world, but the ones in power.
Ji Lei was filled with anger, but he was helpless. He was weak and could not be a match for Cold Palace, so at this point, he could only bitterly accept this result.
"You are here!" Just when Ji Lei was dejectedly about to leave, a figure suddenly sounded behind him. Ji Lei turned around and found that Hu Lieh was standing behind him.
"Hall Master Hu?" Why is it you? " Ji Lei secretly cursed. Could it be that Hu Lieh had reacted and was preparing to take back all the things that were originally given to him? This was really a bad night for them. How could Ji Lei be so unlucky …
"You want to enter this Cold Palace?" Hu Lieh walked in front of Ji Lei, rubbed his hands and asked Ji Lei.
"Yeah, it's a pity that I don't have a token and won't be allowed to enter." Ji Lei waved his hand and prepared to quickly leave this place. With Hu Lieh here, he would naturally run as fast as he could, afraid that Hu Lieh would ask him about the matter regarding the medicinal ingredients.
"You can't get in?" After Hu Lieh heard Ji Lei's words, his two fierce and thick eyebrows instantly twisted into ropes, and angrily walked in front of the guard who was blocking Ji Lei. Hu Lieh's Snow Wind Hall was naturally famous in the Northern Cold, so Hu Lieh was actually one of the people with a high position.
"Pah!" Before the guard could finish laughing, Hu Lieh had already slapped the guard in the face! The guards were all stunned on the spot. Even Ji Lei subconsciously touched his face when he heard the loud and clear applause. It hurt to look at it.
Hu Lieh did not look apologetic at all as he struck with his palm. Instead, he shouted angrily at the guard: "Impudent!"
