“You go on over. I’ll be fine on my own. I’ll communicate with you if anything happens,” Li Hao said to Master Sanyan.

It was better to keep a low profile. Master Sanyang was a cultivator. Standing together was too eye-catching, and he had already attracted the attention of many people.

“Yeah.”

Master Sanyang nodded and walked straight towards Zhou Junjie.

“Senior Sanyang, where have you been? I thought you didn’t come in!” said Zhou Junjie as Master Sanyang approached.

“Met a junior on the street and chatted for a while,” said Master Sanyang calmly.

“Come, Senior Sanyang, let me introduce you. This is Yang Liyuan from the Yang family of Shanghai, also a member of the Eastern Demon Town’s garrison. This is Miss Yang Tingting…” Zhou Junjie immediately introduced them to Master Sanyang.

At this moment, Yang Liyuan and the others from the Yang family heard Zhou Junjie’s voice and looked at Master Sanyang.

Yang Liyuan’s expression changed slightly.

“Nephew Zhou, who is this?”

As a Connate martial artist, Yang Liyuan naturally sensed the transcendent aura on Master Sanyang. A huge wave appeared in his eyes as he immediately asked.

“Master Sanyang of Mount Laojun, a true cultivator,” said Zhou Junjie.

“Dad, it was him who protected the guy who stole my jade hairpin!” Beside him, Yang Tingting’s expression became angry. She pointed at Master Sanyang’s face and said angrily.

When Yang Liyuan heard his daughter’s words, his expression froze again. He frowned and his heart skipped a beat.

He saw a sharp glint in Master Sanyang’s eyes.

Yang Liyuan knew that something was wrong.

“Shut up!” Yang Liyuan scolded Yang Tingting angrily. Then, he looked at the Master Sanyang apologetically.

“I’m sorry, Master! My daughter is insensible. Please forgive her!”

“I naturally won’t argue with a small woman!” said Master Sanyang calmly again.

“Master? What’s going on?” When Zhou Junjie saw this, he was a little dumbfounded.

“Uh. My junior and Miss Yang had some misunderstandings from shopping earlier on,” said Master Sanyang and did not pursue the matter.

Zhou Junjie did not ask further.

On the other side, Li Hao had just found a seat.

“Brother Li Hao, I didn’t expect you to be here.”

At this moment, a few figures came to Li Hao’s side.

“Envoy Long!”

Li Hao also looked at Long Zhiming.

“If you don’t mind, just call me Uncle Long. You’re my big brother’s benefactor.” Long Zhiming smiled.

“Uh, okay!” Li Hao was stunned but did not refuse.

Li Hao felt that Long Zhiming was a good guy.

Long Zhiming led his men and sat down beside Li Hao.

Another moment passed.

A woman in a cheongsam went on stage with a microphone.

This woman was tall and had long black hair. She looked exquisite and was in her thirties. She had a charming aura. As soon as she went on stage, everyone’s eyes lit up and they were attracted.

“Respected guests and dear friends, welcome to the Ancient City Auction House. I am the host of today’s auction, Luo Li…”

“This beautiful emcee is stunning.”

“Don’t underestimate this beautiful emcee. If I’m not mistaken, this woman is the person in charge of this auction house. She manages everything in the auction house.”

“There’s someone behind this Ancient City Auction House.”

“…”

As soon as Luo Li appeared, she caused quite a stir.

“I believe everyone is tired of waiting. I won’t say anything else. Let’s start today’s auction.”

As Luo Li finished speaking, the auction began.

“Let us take out the first item.”

At this moment, two people pushed up a booth. On the booth was a Guanyin statue.

This Guanyin statue had a unique image. It was a Guanyin statue with gold, copper, and lotus hands. This statue was dressed like a prince and wore a necklace and a crown. It held a lotus flower in its hand, symbolizing cleanliness and high spirit. The flames were backlit, and its posture was dignified. The folds of its skirt were folded in order, and its aura was lively.

And from the looks of it, it was very ancient.

“This is a Guanyin statue from the Northern Wei period! The starting price is five million! Each bid is at least 50,000.”

Something that could be auctioned off had been appraised by someone. It was definitely not a fake.

Immediately, someone raised a sign.

“Five million once,” said Luo Li immediately.

“5.1 million!”

At this moment, someone else raised the sign and offered 5.1 million.

“5.1 million once.”

“5.1 million twice.”

“5.1 million going thrice! Deal.”

This Guanyin statue was sold in less than two minutes.

It was just an appetizer. Many people were not very interested.

“Next, the second item.”

Soon, the Guanyin statue was pushed down. What was taken again was a bronze mirror.

“This is a bronze mirror used by a noblewoman of the Tang Dynasty. The starting price is 500,000 yuan, and every bid increase is at least 10,000 yuan…”

* * *

As Luo Li’s voice sounded again and again, antiques were brought up for auction.

However, the atmosphere was still a little silent.

Many people were waiting. The main event was coming up.

They did not know when.

A woman in a gown carried a tray onto the stage. It was covered by a red cloth.

“This is an ancient brush. Its exact age is unknown. It’s at least five hundred years old and has been preserved very intact. The starting price is five hundred thousand. Each bid must be no less than ten thousand,” said Luo Li again.

The red cloth on the tray was pulled open. It was a black brush with special patterns on the shaft.

It looked a little old and ordinary.

But at this moment, Li Hao’s eyes lit up again.

At this moment, a big red exclamation mark appeared in front of Li Hao.

This exclamation mark happened to be on this brush.

Another hint?

It was a good day. The second hint.

It seemed that coming here today was the right choice.

Without hesitation, Li Hao clicked on the exclamation mark on the brush.

The phone beeped again. It was a deduction.

[This is an unusual brush. You must not miss it. If you want more hints, please click on the down arrow.]

Wasn’t that obvious? There was already a hint. It must be unusual.

Li Hao clicked on the arrow.

Immediately, more information came.

[This pen’s real name is the Judge’s Brush. It’s a top-grade Dharma artifact and is currently sealed.]

Seeing this notification, Li Hao was shocked.

It was actually a Dharma artifact? And it was a top-grade Dharma artifact.

However, it was in a sealed state.
