Chapter 724 - Their Young Master (1/2)

”Really? Then do you know where they are?” Chu Liuxiang asked.

”Not exactly. I know they're nearby, but I don't know where they are. Hold on, let me ask them.”

”Feng Feng? Xiao Hua? Are you two also at the Flood Dragon's scale auction?” Yuan asked them through their connection.

”Y-Young Master? Are you also at the auction?” Feng Yuxiang's surprised voice resounded, almost as though she wasn't aware until he spoke to her.

”Yes, I decided to participate in the auction when I heard about it, but alas, I had no chance against these powerful families and sects. And before you tell me that I wasn't supposed to leave the hotel, I left a note behind before we left.” Yuan said.

”Don't worry, I am not mad at you for leaving.” Feng Yuxiang chuckled.

”Anyways, now that the auction has ended, let's meet up.”

”W-Wait a minute, Young Master. I still have a few treasures to sell, so we cannot meet up just yet. If you want, you can return to the hotel first…” Feng Yuxiang quickly made up an excuse so that she wouldn't expose herself for selling the Flood Dragon's scale.

”Is that so? Do you know how long it will take? If it's not too long, we can wait for you in our hotel at Bright Night City.” Yuan then said.

”It shouldn't take too long. We should be finished by the end of today or tomorrow.”

”I understand. Then we'll wait for you at Bright Night City.” Yuan proceeded to give her the name of their hotel.

”They're almost finished selling the treasures, so we're going to wait for them in our hotel at Bright Night City.” Yuan explained the situation to Chu Liuxiang and Lan Yingying.

”Thank you all for coming to our action today! If you have any questions, you may visit the House of Riches located in Bright Night City at any time!” Gu Xiulan said to everyone there before leaving the stage.

Many people at the auction wanted to ask about the owner of the Flood Dragon's scale, but they figured that if this person wanted their identity to be known, Gu Xiulan would've already mentioned it.

The fact that they were not mentioned must either mean Gu Xiulan doesn't know, or the seller doesn't want their identity to be known. It was that simple.

After leaving the Royal Hall, Yuan's group returned to Bright Night City while Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua waited to collect their money.

As for Senior Nie, he went to a private room with Gu Xiulan, where he paid her the 20 million spirit stones for the Flood Dragon's scale.

”I know you probably don't want to tell me their identity, but I still wish to ask.” Senior Nie asked Gu Xiulan as he handed her the spirit stones.

Gu Xiulan shook her head with a bittersweet smile, ”It's not that I don't want to tell you. I simply don't know their identity.”

”That's unfortunate.” Senior Nie said.

However, just as Gu Xiulan prepared to hand Senior Nie the Flood Dragon's scale, the door to the VIP room opened, and Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua casually walked inside the room.

”Y-You are…” Senior Nie's eyes widened with surprise when he saw Xiao Hua and recognized her.

”Hey, do you have the money yet? I don't like the feeling of making the Young Master wait. And the more I think about it, the more anxious I get.” Feng Yuxiang ignored Senior Nie and directly asked for the money.

Gu Xiulan was speechless. She thought they wanted to remain anonymous, so what are they doing here?

”You were in the Lower Heavens at the Mystic Realm! What are you doing here?” Senior Nie eventually snapped out of his shock and asked Xiao Hua.
