“I feel like someone is watching us.”
Suddenly, from the corner, from the darkness, Zhang Qilin’s voice was chilling.
Zhang Tian frowned slightly, his voice very soft.
“It should be the eyes of Xinyue Hotel. Don’t worry.”
Zhang Tian gently patted Zhang Qilin’s snow-white hand. Zhang Qilin instinctively shivered but didn’t move further.
Seeing that Zhang Qilin didn't speak and was just warily looking around, despite being a security guard here, he hadn't managed to gather much information about internal matters.
Zhang Tian didn’t say much more, instead, his mind began to ponder.
“Judging by this situation, most of the useful items at the auction will fall into the hands of those from the great families.”
“And if I want to obtain something, I must get treasures that they cannot understand. However, it’s likely difficult to find things that even the elders of the Nine Gates cannot discern.”
Zhang Tian pondered, rummaging in his pocket.
His greatest reliance was this jade pendant.
Zhang Tian knew very well that his fifty million was merely a fraction here.
Wanting to buy something would be a pipe dream.
But the Qi Zi jade pendant was different.
Even families without a need for it would certainly not miss out on such an item.
After all, being able to pray for children was useful to anyone.
“No hurry for now, let’s wait for the auction to begin and see the situation first. If the auction items are all ordinary antiques, then I will have underestimated Xinyue Hotel.”
Zhang Tian thought to himself, remaining as steady as an old dog.
If it were someone else, they might have already handed the jade pendant over for Xinyue Hotel to auction.
But Zhang Tian would not. He would rather use the jade pendant to exchange for what he wanted than take risks beforehand.
“Boss, do you think there will be any elixirs this time?”
Fatty said with a grin. Zhang Tian shook his head.
“I don’t know, and some things should not be said here. Xinyue Hotel has eavesdroppers who practice ear-based cultivation techniques.”
“They can hear everything within a few hundred meters. Our words are certainly falling into their ears, and at the same time, Xinyue Hotel has eyes that can see all small movements.”
“They understand countless antique knowledge and can identify antiques, so nothing can escape their discerning eyes. Watch what you say.”
Zhang Tian’s voice was very low, but just as he predicted.
His every word was heard by the eavesdroppers of Xinyue Hotel.
Many people knew about their identities, so Zhang Tian saying this was not a problem.
It was not a violation.
Upon hearing this, Fatty sat up straight like a good boy, afraid of being discovered.
Seeing Fatty’s awkward attempt to appear innocent, Zhang Tian couldn’t help but feel amused.
Zhang Qilin, on the other hand, looked at his hand, where Zhang Tian’s palm was still pressing down, with a hint of confusion.
“Ding ding...”
Soon, the bell rang.
Eight o’clock in the evening.
The Xinyue Hotel auction officially began.
“It’s finally started. I wonder what the items will be this time.”
“It’s said that Xinyue Hotel has received a batch of new goods, and they’re amazing, including cultivation items.”
“Is it the legendary martial arts techniques? I must get one this time.”
“Martial arts techniques are nothing. This time, Xinyue Hotel has even brought the Golden Carved Jade Buddha. It is said that if you pray before it, you can even extend your life by five years.”
As the bell rang, countless people began to discuss, especially when it came to the auction items of Xinyue Hotel, which caused immense excitement.
Zhang Tian’s small ears perked up as he listened to what people around him were saying.
He summarized one point.
This time, Xinyue Hotel’s auction would definitely not be primarily about antiques!
Perhaps, there would be things Zhang Tian had never seen before.
Meanwhile, in a private room.
Wu Tianzhen looked at the stage, inexplicably excited.
Due to the Wu family’s connections, he also had a private room.
However, only he and Fatty were inside.
“Tianzhen, this is your first time here, isn’t it?”
Wang Fatty chuckled, standing by the window, a little smug.
“Have you been here before?”
Wu Tianzhen did not deny it.
“No, but if it’s your first time too, then I’m relieved, hehe.”
Wang Fatty grinned, his gaze fixed on the host who was walking onto the stage.
The host was wearing a red qipao, her hair styled high.
She wore gold thread pendants in her ears, exuding an air of nobility.
“What a beautiful woman, Tianzhen, aren’t you going to look?”
Fatty’s mouth was watering.
“No, I have a mission this time, so I won’t look too much.”
Wu Tian waved his hand, but his peripheral vision still caught a glimpse; she was indeed curvaceous.
“This auction item, we must get our hands on it.”
Xie Yuchen also spoke coldly. His Xie family had come this time precisely for that item.
With all the major families gathered, his Xie family naturally could not be left behind.
Zhang Tian’s gaze was fixed on the stage. The host had already come on.
However, upon seeing the host’s attire, Fatty let out another sigh, drooling.
“Oh my, Fatty, be good. Fatty won’t look, won’t look. Those legs are so white, pfft, my eyes are so white.”
Fatty covered his eyes, but his pupils were wide open, peeking through the gaps.
Seeing the comical Fatty, Zhang Tian couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Even Zhang Qilin couldn’t help but glance at Fatty more than once.
His hand was still being held by Zhang Tian, and Zhang Qilin behaved himself, not moving much.
“Welcome everyone to this auction. We at Xinyue Hotel have also prepared even more generous treasures for you all. What you see is what you get.”
“At the same time, friends present, if you have any treasures you wish to sell, you can press the red button on your seats. We guarantee absolute secrecy, and after inspection, they can be put up for auction. ”
“Of course, if you disturb the order and press the button with miscellaneous items, then I’m sorry, Xinyue Hotel does not welcome such guests.”
The qipao beauty said, a sweet smile on her face.
“Hmm~~ this smile...”
Fatty wiggled his body. Hu Bayi gave him a disgusted look.
Truly like a cow seeing green grass, lustful eyes.
After the qipao beauty finished speaking, there was silence in the audience.
After all, those who could sit here were either wealthy or noble; the riff-raff naturally couldn't get in.
So order was not an issue. This was not a place where you could just wave a paddle and bid. You had to press the button to bid.
Only one person could press at a time.
“It seems I don’t need to worry about the auction channel. I suppose those eyes will observe my jade pendant.”
Zhang Tian thought to himself, feeling greatly relieved.
This way, safety would be greatly enhanced.
The qipao beauty wasted no more time and waved her hand, and another beauty in a qipao the color of blue and white porcelain walked onto the stage.
The beauty held a tray, her face beaming.
Their smiles seemed specially packaged; almost everyone’s smile was the same.
“This is the first item for our auction today, and it is a divine object called the Golden Light Prayer Beads.”
“Wearing it can resist one fatal blow, usable only once. The starting price is one million, and each subsequent bid must not be less than ten thousand yuan.”
The red qipao beauty said with a smile.
Zhang Tian was stunned. Hu Bayi, along with Fatty, gaped.
Little Brother remained calm and composed.
Good heavens, they started with something so significant on the first item?!
Isn’t this a literal protective artifact?
To be honest, even Zhang Tian was tempted.
(I’ve made a pact with the gods, betting on your moment of temptation! I’m exhausted, even a donkey wouldn’t dare to update like this...)
