Chapter 722 - Flood Dragons Scale Auction (1/2)

”Here are the VIP seats, Esteemed Guests. I have to prepare for the auction, so I will excuse myself now.” Gu Xiulan said to Feng Yuxiang after showing her the best seats in the house.

Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua took a seat shortly after, and their presence immediately attracted the gazes of the people that were already there, all of whom were considered VIP, such as the Seven Legacy Families and the Seven Spirit Academies.

”Excuse me, beautiful fairy. I know this is audacious of me, but I do not recognize you. Please spare me of this guilt by telling me your name.” A handsome man sitting two seats away from them suddenly asked Feng Yuxiang with this charming smile.

But before Feng Yuxiang could respond, he continued to speak, ”Oh, how disrespectful of me. I am the sect master of the Universal Music Academy, Sun Hao.”

”...”

Unfortunately, Feng Yuxiang didn't even bother to spare him a single word, much less her name.

Some of the people there began laughing in a suppressed manner when they saw Sun Hao's flushed face and embarrassed expression.

To dare disrespect one of Seven Spirit Academies' Sect Masters in such a manner, the people there became even more interested in Feng Yuxiang's identity.

'Huh? Aren't those two…?' Wang Xiuying recognized Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua.

She remembered seeing them with Yuan at the Mystic Realm. And while it was only for a brief moment, their attractive appearances made it easy for her to remember.

'What are they doing here? Wait… Does this mean Yuan is also here? He ascended to Spirit Heaven recently, too.' Wang Xiuying immediately became excited at the possibility that Yuan was nearby, as it has been a long time since they have seen each other.

She began looking around for Yuan, but sadly, the VIP section was separated from the others, making it very difficult to look for him.

As for Yuan, he sat down with Lan Yingying and Chu Liuxiang the moment they found three available seats so they could sit together, and their seats were all the way at the end of the conference room, where the auction is being held.

”Wow, this feels like we're at an important meeting.” Chu Liuxiang mumbled in a low voice.

”The atmosphere and the building's interior does give off that feeling.” Yuan agreed with her.

Half an hour later, Gu Xiulan appeared before everyone in the center of the building, where a large circular platform existed.

”Welcome, everyone! Thank you all for coming to our auction today on such short notice! My name is Gu Xiulan, and I have been a manager at the House of Riches for over 5 decades. It is with great honor that I bring to you today a priceless treasure that can only be found in the Fourth Heaven and above— the scale of a Flood Dragon!”

The audience immediately became dead silent when Gu Xiulan started talking.

'Gu Xiulan…? Is she part of the Gu Family or am I just being paranoid? Gu is a common surname, after all…' Yuan thought to himself when he heard her name.

”Before I continue, allow me to show you all the Flood Dragon's scale.”

Everyone there focused their gazes on Gu Xiulan and watched as she retrieved a beautiful box before placing it on the display stand beside her.
