At the sa ti.
VIP room number 2.
Li Ya, accompanied by two maidservants, knocked on the door of VIP room number 2.
"What is it?"
Soon, a young woman opened the door and looked at Li Ya, asking.
Li Ya smiled slightly and said, "Good day, madam. This is the Premium Da Hong Pao specially prepared by our auction house for you. We have brought it here and also have another matter to inform you about."
"Co in," a woman’s voice beckoned from inside the room.
The young woman who opened the door stepped aside, and Li Ya, leading her entourage, entered.
"This is the Premium Da Hong Pao treasured by our auction house for a long ti. Please enjoy it," Li Ya offered, pouring tea for Fan Lichun first.
Fan Lichun did not refuse; seeing the Dongsheng Auction House show goodwill, she naturally would not deliberately rebuke their gesture. She simply asked, "You ntioned there was another matter to inform about, what is it?"
Li Ya smiled and said, "Elder Fan, the thing is, our auction house received on short notice an Ageless Pill consigned by a client. It has been authenticated by an Elder of the dicine God Temple and confird to be truly effective."
She relayed to Fan Lichun the effects of the Ageless Pill as well as the Elder of the dicine God Temple’s authentication.
This wasn’t her intentionally leaking secrets, but rather the auction house had indeed assigned her to reveal information about the Ageless Pill to each VIP room before the start of the auction, which conveniently facilitated her own mission.
"Ageless Pill?"
Even Fan Lichun, an Elder of the Dragon Soul Chamber of Comrce and a Great Grandmaster in martial arts, felt sowhat unsettled at this revelation.
There was no woman who did not care about her appearance.
"What you have said, is it true?" Fan Lichun stared at Li Ya, pressing her for an imdiate answer.
Li Ya imdiately felt a powerful pressure, which frightened her, and she quickly said, "Absolutely true, this is mainly why I have co to inform you."
"Good, then thank you," said Fan Lichun, seeing nothing but honesty in Li Ya’s eyes. She smiled, her mind already calculating how to secure the Ageless Pill at the auction.
Not only Fan Lichun was moved—within this room, other won were also stirred, not least of all Shen Qingzhi.
It could even be said that the more beautiful a woman was, the more she desired to retain her youthful appearance forever.
"Miss, please enjoy your tea," Li Ya offered, deliberately giving Shen Qingzhi her cup last, at which point including Fan Lichun’s attention was fixated on the Ageless Pill.
"Thank you," said Shen Qingzhi with a smile, reaching out to take the cup.
But just then, Li Ya seemingly by accident, and without any indication, upset the teacup in the mont of contact, spilling the tea straight onto Shen Qingzhi’s clothes, completely soaking her waist area.
Fortunately, the tea was not hot.
"I’m so sorry, so sorry," Li Ya quickly apologized, appearing sowhat panic-stricken.
"It’s nothing," Shen Qingzhi didn’t get angry; instead, she comforted Li Ya, telling her not to bla herself.
Li Ya hurriedly apologized and thanked Shen Qingzhi for her forgiveness. She then suggested that Shen Qingzhi follow her to the back to wipe down with a towel and dry her clothes.
Shen Qingzhi initially wanted to decline, but being astute, she keenly noticed sothing in Li Ya’s eyes and suddenly realized that Li Ya’s actions were likely intentional.
"Alright," Shen Qingzhi pondered for a mont before she agreed.
She then looked towards Fan Lichun.
Fan Lichun, currently preoccupied with thoughts about the Ageless Pill, nodded, "Go ahead."
Shen Qingzhi followed Li Ya out of the room.
"Chen Chen, follow them and see what happens."
Just as Shen Qingzhi followed Li Ya out of the private room, within three seconds, Fan Lichun directed a woman to follow them.
Shen Qingzhi was a person highly valued by the president, and now, they needed to not only train her with all their might but also ensure she wouldn’t co into any trouble, and of course, they couldn’t let her escape.
"Yes, Elder Fan."
Chen Chen imdiately followed suit.
.
After leaving the private room with Li Ya, Shen Qingzhi kept heading toward the living quarters of the auction house staff.
"What does she want to do?"
Shen Qingzhi pondered secretly.
At that mont, she suddenly heard a voice in her ear, "Aunt Shen, it’s . I’m in private room number 8. It was who asked Li Ya to find a way to bring you out."
Hearing this voice, Shen Qingzhi was startled.
Su Luo?
She was certain she hadn’t misheard, it was indeed Su Luo’s voice.
Her lips couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile, but soon, she composed herself again, realizing soone had followed her out.
"When you were in private room number 2, because Great Grandmaster Fan Lichun was there, I didn’t dare to send you a ssage, fearing she would discover it. But now, we can communicate. The one who followed you, only a Second-Grade Grandmaster, has less spiritual power than you and won’t notice our secret communication."
Su Luo’s voice then rang in her ears again.
Shen Qingzhi finally relaxed.
Her lips couldn’t help but reveal another smile, and using Divine Sense, she sent a ssage to Su Luo, "How did you get here?"
After sending the ssage, Shen Qingzhi cautiously observed Chen Chen, who had followed her out, a trusted follower of Elder Fan Lichun.
In the end, she confird that, just as Su Luo had said, Chen Chen didn’t show the slightest reaction and had no clue about her and Su Luo’s Divine Sense communication.
This made the smile on Shen Qingzhi’s lips grow a bit broader, she could now talk to Su Luo without worry.
anwhile, Su Luo had also responded to her, "Of course, it’s because our hearts are in sync, one hint is all it took. I’m thinking of you, dreaming of you, you’re all that’s in my dreams; sohow sensing you were here, I just followed."
"Your sweet-talking might work on young girls, but not on soone who’s been through it all. Your flattery won’t work on ," Shen Qingzhi responded playfully, as Su Luo kept calling her "Aunt Shen," so she played along with the "aunt" persona and said with a smile.
Inside private room number 8.
Su Luo coughed lightly, of course, he wasn’t the least bit embarrassed by being called out, instead, his face was full of smiles upon hearing Aunt Shen’s voice again.
That was nice.
Su Luo even felt the urge to rush out and et Aunt Shen in person, but ultimately, he restrained himself.
"Aunt Shen, how co you are following the people from Dragon Soul Chamber of Comrce to Kun City? What does the Dragon Soul Chamber of Comrce want to do here?" Su Luo stopped joking around and took the opportunity to ask Aunt Shen.
Shen Qingzhi said, "I’m currently with the Dragon Soul Chamber of Comrce, and I don’t face as many restrictions anymore. I knew this ti that Fan Lichun and the others had sothing to do outside, so I ntioned wanting to get so fresh air. She probably wanted to win over and thus took out."
"As for their purpose here, they didn’t tell . But from their conversations, I know that one of their objectives for this trip is sothing from the auction, possibly a map."
A map?
This made Su Luo strangely think of the two incomplete Spirit Storage Maps he had, one from Tongshan Li Family and the other from Qin Tian of the Qin Family of the Capital.
Su Luo thought to himself, it couldn’t possibly be that today’s auction would also feature an incomplete Spirit Storage Map, and that Fan Lichun of the Dragon Soul Chamber of Comrce had specifically co for that map, could it?
That would be too much of a coincidence, wouldn’t it?
