Chapter 191 VIP Tickets and City Lights
As each second passed, the twilight glow faded away, yielding to the darkness illuminated by stars and the soft glow of the moon.
In this moment, Long Tian stood before the mirror in his room, clad in a stylish ensemble of a black shirt complemented by a suit, black pants, and polished black shoes. A subtle, pleasant fragrance wafted through the air, courtesy of the high grade cologne he had applied.
"Looks good. Now, it's time to make my way to SCBD Main Town," he remarked with a satisfied grin.
Exiting his room, he strolled out of the villa. As he closed the villa door behind him, a sleek black car pulled up and came to a stop right in front of the entrance.
Long Tian's steps paused momentarily. There was no mistaking it; the car belonged to his bodyguard, currently in the role of escorting Li Yue'er.
The car door swung open, confirming the arrival of a stunning silver-haired girl – none other than Li Yue'er. Despite a hint of fatigue evident on her face, she gracefully stepped out of the car. As she approached the entrance, she paused upon spotting Long Tian standing there.
"You're late. Are you the last one in the test queue?" Long Tian inquired.
"Not exactly. There were technical issues during some tests, so I had no choice but to wait. But guess what? I passed the selection!" Li Yue'er responded with evident joy.
"I'm genuinely pleased. But, given your talent, passing the selection was undoubtedly a breeze," Long Tian replied.
Li Yue'er nodded, then turned her attention to Long Tian's attire. "Where are you headed?" she asked.
"To SCBD Main Town. Care to join?" Long Tian proposed.
"I don't think so; I'm too tired," Li Yue'er replied.
"Alright, go inside, take a shower, and get some rest," Long Tian suggested.
"Okay," Li Yue'er responded, then planting a kiss on Long Tian's cheek before making her way into the villa.
Long Tian smiled, then headed to the garage to retrieve his car.

The melodic sound of luxury car exhaust echoed through the streets in the heart of Tianzhou city. Behind the wheel was Long Tian.
Now he had arrived at SCBD Main Town, located in the city center with towering buildings and bustling streets. Along the roadside, various entertainments and important places adorned the surroundings.
Long Tian effortlessly parked his car in the available underground parking space. As the engine went silent, he stepped out of the car, only to be surprised by the sudden appearance of a man in a suit – Ling Han.
After the initial shock, Long Tian relaxed, realizing it was Ling Han. However, confusion marked his expression. "Are you following me, Uncle Ling?" he inquired.
"I heard you were heading to SCBD Main Town and the auction. As far as my knowledge goes, the best auction here is Juntian Auction," Ling Han responded.
"And then?" Long Tian asked.
"Do you have an entry ticket? If you plan on flaunting the black Long family card, it won't work. Juntian Auction has a prestigious reputation; they won't be swayed by anyone's identity," Ling Han warned.
Long Tian furrowed his brow. He had intended to use the black card, given its privileged rights granted by the government. Thankfully, Ling Han informed him.
"Thanks for the warning, Uncle Ling. I'll consider everything before taking action in the future. But now, what am I supposed to do?" he asked.
"Are you truly determined to enter that auction?" Ling Han inquired.
"I would greatly appreciate it if you have a way for me to get in," Long Tian responded, his tone earnest.
"Then wait here, young master. Leave everything to me," Ling Han said with a grin on his face.
Long Tian nodded in response, and with that, Ling Han swiftly departed, disappearing like a shadow.
Long Tian stood patiently, wondering what Ling Han would do to secure the tickets.

Meanwhile, amidst the city's vibrant streets, two young men leisurely strolled along the roadside, impeccably attired in suits that complemented their style – none other than Lin Fan and Xiao Jun.
Xiao Jun, with an unabashed admiration, scanned the surroundings and couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, there are so many beautiful girls here, and I spot a few milfs too!"
"Yeah, perhaps we should frequent this place more often, Xiao Jun," Lin Fan concurred, genuinely impressed by the bustling crowd, especially the allure of the captivating women.
"There's a reason why I seldom venture here. Every time I do, my expenses skyrocket because, just take a look around; everything is practically irresistible," Xiao Jun remarked, cautioning about the temptations that surrounded them.
Lin Fan surveyed the panorama. Undeniably, there were numerous attractions, gastronomic delights, and captivating exhibitions that could easily entice anyone.
"Yeah, I agree with you. However, we must restrain ourselves for the auction. Hehe, fingers crossed I stumble upon some remarkable items," he said with a mischievous smirk.
"I believe the auction is set to commence soon. The schedule indicates 7 p.m.," Xiao Jun responded, glancing at his watch.
"In that case, let's go there," Lin Fan said.
With a nod from Xiao Jun, they proceeded towards the auction venue. After a brief stroll, they halted not far from a splendid edifice proudly bearing the inscription "Juntian Main Hall."
Before this grand structure, four towering figures in suits stood guard, overseeing the influx of attendees. The anticipation was palpable as people streamed into the building, setting the stage for an evening of opulence and intrigue.
"Here we go, the Jun family auction!" Lin Fan said with a grin.
"Let's go there," Xiao Jun said.
They walked towards the building, but as they approached, they were stopped by the four guards.
"Please show your tickets," one of them requested.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXiao Jun smiled and handed two black tickets to the guard. The guard examined the tickets, confirming their authenticity.
However, he still seemed unconvinced, especially considering Lin Fan and Xiao Jun's youthful appearance. "I see you're quite young. May I know which family you're from?" he asked.
"Uh, I'm from the Xiao family, not the ancient one, but the regular one. And beside me is my friend," Xiao Jun answered.
"So, you're not from the same family? Very well, but I must remind you that, given your friend isn't the designated ticket holder, any actions or if he causes trouble, all consequences will be ascribed to your family," the guard asserted.
Before Xiao Jun could offer a response, Lin Fan spoke with unwavering confidence, "There's no need to worry. I'm well-versed in etiquette and won't stir up any trouble," he declared, his tone assured and a smile gracing his face.
"Yeah, no need for concern," Xiao Jun affirmed.
The guard nodded. "Fair enough, then. Welcome," he greeted, signaling their permission to enter the premises.
Lin Fan and Xiao Jun smiled and entered the building.

Meanwhile, in the parking lot, Long Tian still waiting near his car, hoping for good news from Ling Han.
The auction was an imperative event, especially with a protagonist in attendance.
Suddenly, a figure materialized before him – none other than Ling Han. Long Tian's countenance immediately illuminated. "How did it go, Uncle Ling?" he inquired.
Ling Han grinned, proudly displaying two golden tickets. "2 VIP tickets," he declared.
Long Tian found himself somewhat surprised. "How did you manage to obtain them?" he questioned.
"Of course, with violence," Ling Han laughed.
Hearing this, Long Tian shook his head, but a smile also formed on his face. He didn't care if it involved violence; what mattered was that he got the tickets!
He gratefully patted Ling Han's shoulder. "I'm at a loss for words, Uncle Ling. You consistently assist me in every endeavor," he sincerely expressed.
"It's merely my duty, young master," Ling Han replied.Long Tian nodded.
"Well then, let's go to that auction!" he declared.
Ling Han nodded in agreement, and together they walked towards the venue of the auction.
