"Teacher, why have you returned?" Liu Ling looked at his teacher in the medicine pavilion.
"It's nothing." Gu He shook his head, a trace of barely noticeable disappointment in his eyes.
"Teacher has been rebuffed, hasn't he?"
Liu Ling knew very well what had happened because he had also returned from Nalan Yanran's place, crestfallen.
Although he couldn't fly, he was close by.
"Liu Ling, has anything major happened in the Jia Ma Empire recently?" Gu He glanced at his disciple.
"Indeed, quite a few major events have occurred."
Liu Ling nodded and said, "A few days ago, a young powerhouse came to the empire. He was not yet sixteen years old, but he already possessed the strength of a Dou Emperor."
Hearing this, Gu He's originally calm expression suddenly stiffened.
"A Dou Emperor at sixteen? You're not joking with me, are you?"
"Teacher, how could I joke with you?"
Liu Ling gave a wry smile and said, "Not only that, but it seems there are two protectors with that young man. Their cultivation is definitely above the Dou Ancestor level."
"I just went into closed-door cultivation, and such a big thing has happened in the Imperial City?" Gu He looked slightly dazed.
"Not only that, but that young man also... with the Nalan Family..." Liu Ling told Gu He everything he knew.
"This young man has also been to the Misty Cloud Sect." Gu He was stunned, and suddenly seemed to understand how Yun Yun got the Breaking Sect Pill.
A sixteen-year-old boy, no matter how outstanding, wouldn't move Yun Yun, right? Gu He thought to himself, but for some reason, he had a faint premonition.
"You said he's selling some things at the Mite'er Auction House the day after tomorrow?" He glanced at his disciple.
Liu Ling nodded slightly, "All alchemists above the third rank in the capital have received invitations."
"In that case, we'll go take a look the day after tomorrow too." Gu He suddenly became a little curious.
The third day, early morning. As sunlight bathed the land, the largest and most prosperous auction house in the capital slowly opened its doors.
"Not bad, the Mite'er Family lives up to its reputation as merchants; this auction house is indeed impressive." In a VIP room, Xiao Yan looked at the massive auction hall.
This auction hall was the size of half a football field, easily accommodating tens of thousands of people, and there were multiple layers of private rooms on the second floor.
Notably, this was an indoor auction hall, the construction cost of which was imaginable.
Within the auction hall, crystal lamps were hung everywhere, and many luxury furs were used to decorate the luxurious VIP rooms.
"Young Master Xiao Yan is from a large clan in the Central Plains. Haven't you seen a small auction house like this before?" Ya Fei teased lightly from the side, feeling secretly pleased.
Because the elegant decoration style of this exquisite building was all her own work.
"Not often," Xiao Yan replied with a smile.
He had only seen more luxurious buildings like this in Holy Pill City. As for the Xiao Clan, they didn't have such an auction house.
Because they didn't need one.
"I'm going up to auction later," Ya Fei suddenly whispered.
"Go on, let me see how dazzling my little secretary is when she steps onto the auction stage," Xiao Yan said with a laugh.
"I'm a little nervous," Ya Fei squeezed Xiao Yan's hand.
"Why so nervous?" Xiao Yan held her jade-like hand and, sure enough, there was a trace of fine sweat.
"It's because the things you brought out are too valuable. Each one is almost worth half of our Mite'er Family's assets."
Ya Fei gave him a light look, full of charm.
"Oh, so should I leave?" Xiao Yan chuckled.
"Want to leave? Impossible." Ya Fei snorted softly.
"Just auction them off, it doesn't matter if you lose them. These things are originally for you to accumulate capital," Xiao Yan said with a smile, patting her on the butt.
"I'll be heartbroken if I lose them." Ya Fei rolled her eyes at him again, then suddenly tiptoed and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.
"I'm going to prepare." With that, she swayed her alluring, slender waist and lightly left.
"Women still need nurturing," Xiao Yan smiled faintly, watching Ya Fei's departing figure.
The guests in the arena were arriving one after another.
The so-called big shots from the capital, who used to sit in the VIP rooms, were now obediently finding seats in the regular spectator areas.
Because today, only those with at least Dou King strength could enter the private boxes. Even most Fourth Grade alchemists weren't qualified to have a private box.
Whether in the Jia Ma Empire or the entire Dou Qi continent, the Dou King realm was a watershed for strength.
Only by stepping into this realm were they truly qualified to be called strong. Even in the Xiao Clan, the minimum requirement to enter the clan registry was Dou King.
"Teacher, why aren't Sect Leader and her disciples sitting with us?" In a private box, Liu Ling looked at Gu He with a troubled expression.
"Sigh, I don't know either." Gu He also scratched his thinning hair with a troubled look. Studying alchemy also came at a cost.
"Teacher, I don't see Xiao Yan." In another private box, Nalan Yanran scanned the surroundings, realizing Xiao Yan wasn't present.
"I don't know." Yun Yun shook her head.
"Teacher, don't you want to see him?" Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes blinked.
"Yanran, the Misty Cloud Sect owes Xiao Yan too much, and I have to repay it all." Yun Yun sighed.
"So, Teacher, are you willing to be his concubine?"
"You little brat." Yun Yun's face flushed red.
"It seems Teacher isn't very averse to Xiao Yan either." Nalan Yanran felt a slight bitterness in her heart.
"She couldn't explain this bitterness, but it was very real."
"If he hadn't called off the engagement, perhaps it would have been good." A thought arose in her heart, but she immediately shook it away.
"Even if he hadn't called off the engagement, he's still a playboy, and he even dared to covet Teacher. If I married him, who knows what other ridiculous things that scoundrel would do."
Nalan Yanran's mind immediately raced with countless thoughts.
"Yanran, why are you shaking your head? Did something go wrong with your cultivation?" Yun Yun looked at her disciple with a puzzled expression.
"It's nothing, I'm fine."
Nalan Yanran was speaking when the originally brilliant crystal lamps in the hall suddenly dimmed, immediately shifting to a softer glow.
Along with this change in lighting, a much brighter and more dazzling spotlight illuminated the auction stage in the center of the hall.
As the lights shifted, the internal passage beside it slowly opened. Under the slow gazes of everyone present, a bewitching beauty in a red cheongsam slowly walked out of the passage.
Her red cheongsam was elegant and dignified, embroidered with gold silk patterns, adding a unique touch of sophistication to the garment.
Of course, even the most beautiful clothes need a good figure to show them off, and the beauty before him perfectly displayed the charm of this qipao.
Ya Fei walked elegantly onto the auction stage, revealing a stretch of snow-white, smooth legs. Her mature and alluring face, combined with her enchanting figure, caused many men to swallow hard.
"Everyone, welcome to the Mite'er Auction House. This is our grandest auction in a hundred years. I believe you will not be disappointed."
Ya Fei's red lips parted slightly, and her mature voice carried an alluring, lazy magnetism.
"Now, I declare the auction to begin!"
