Xun'er Makes a Move at the Auction!

Seeing Xiao Yan rushing over, Xiao Tian was stunned for a moment and asked, "She isn't with you?"

Xiao Yan shook his head, his face bitter. "I haven't seen her all day. I've asked many clan members, and they all said they haven't seen Xun'er!"

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Tian frowned slightly. He wasn't particularly worried about Xun'er's safety. After all, Xun'er's background wasn't that simple. Moreover, many years ago, he had sensed that someone powerful seemed to be secretly protecting Xun'er from the shadows.

However, why had Xun'er disappeared for an entire day after leaving the Gale Family last night?

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Tian rubbed his chin. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he thought of something. He immediately said, "Follow me!"

With that, Xiao Tian left directly, with Xiao Yan close behind.

Not long after, the two arrived within the territory of the Mite'er Family.

As the wealthiest family in Wutan City, the Mite'er Family had a long history, vast industries, and intricate relationships with the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire.

It was rumored that at the hour of You (5-7 PM) today, a grand auction would be held at the Mietel Auction House. Many rare treasures would be auctioned off, which would be a great attraction for many rogue cultivators and major families.

"Brother, will Xun'er come here?"

From afar, looking at the magnificent and grand buildings before them, Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask with some confusion.

Xiao Tian didn't answer and walked into the Mietel Auction House first. Xiao Yan had no choice but to follow obediently.

At this moment, the front courtyard of the Mietel Auction House was already crowded with people, almost all gathered in the front courtyard. Every seat was occupied, which made both Xiao Tian and Xiao Yan gasp. It seemed that the items the Mite'er Family had prepared this time must be very valuable.

However, there was still some time before the hour of You, and the auction had not yet begun. Everyone was just gathered in the front courtyard, listening to an old gentleman passionately telling a story.

"Picking up from the last chapter, wah-yah, when the Gale Clan Leader saw his clansmen slaughtered, he was furious. Then, green Battle Qi surged out, and he immediately used the Mysterious-tier Dou Technique - Azure Wind Whirlwind Fist on the culprit. A massive green fist aura instantly tore through the void, smashing fiercely towards the culprit, however..."

"However, the culprit remained unmoved in the face of the terrifying Azure Wind Whirlwind Fist. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled into an evil arc, and he said indifferently: Old dog Gale, have you heard of the Light-speed Kick?"

At this point, the storyteller suddenly paused and took a hearty drink of his old wine.

"Holy crap, and then what?"

"Yeah, and then what? Who was that culprit? What was his strength?"

"Old man, don't keep us in suspense, continue!"

After the storyteller's dramatic pause, the surrounding people eagerly urged him on.

"Heh heh, and then..." the old man chuckled.

"To know what happens next, please listen to the next installment!"

Hearing this, the surrounding people immediately showed their dissatisfaction, cursed, and dispersed.

In a corner, Xiao Tian's lips curved into a faint arc. He didn't expect that the events of last night's slaughter of the Gale Family had already been spread like a legend, even bearing an eight-point resemblance to the storyteller's narration.

"Everyone, the hour of You has arrived. The auction is about to begin. Please enter!"

Just then, an aged voice echoed throughout the auction house. Instantly, everyone rushed through the front courtyard towards the auction hall.

Xiao Tian and Xiao Yan also slowly moved forward amidst the crowd.

The auction hall was very large, capable of holding thousands of people at a glance. In addition to the seats in the main hall, many luxurious private rooms were available on the second floor.

At this moment, on the high platform in the center of the auction hall, a charming woman in a red dress was introducing the first auction item with her sweet voice.

This auction item was extremely ordinary, but under the woman's seductive introduction, the price had already climbed steadily.

In a secluded corner, Xiao Tian and Xiao Yan found a spot and sat down.

After scanning the windows of the private rooms on the second floor, Xiao Tian's gaze finally settled on the charming woman on the high platform.

As the chief auctioneer of the Mietel Auction House, Ya Fei's reputation was well-known throughout Wutan City, especially her charming and alluring figure and her enchanting eyes, which were enough to captivate many men.

It was likely that most people attending this auction were here for Ya Fei.

"Brother, do you mean Xun'er will also appear at the auction?" Just then, Xiao Yan beside him couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Tian nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face. In fact, from the moment they officially entered the auction house, he had already confirmed Xun'er's location.

The reason Xiao Tian believed Xun'er would appear at the Mite'er auction was that this auction had been in preparation for some time. At that time, Xun'er had even decided to bid for a High-grade Wood Element Magic Crystal for him.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, as Xiao Tian's gaze was fixed on the auction stage, a disturbance behind him made him frown slightly.

He instinctively turned his head and saw a man sitting behind him staring at Ya Fei on the stage with burning eyes. His small eyes flowed with undisguised lust, and his gaze roamed unscrupulously over Ya Fei, while he made guttural sounds.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the man's lecherous demeanor, Xiao Tian couldn't help but curse under his breath, then he and Xiao Yan switched seats.

"Everyone, the next auction item, I believe, will be of great interest to you all!" At this moment, Ya Fei said with a smile. Then, with a gentle wave of her slender, fair fingers, a large green wood element magic crystal was quickly brought up by an attendant.

"Oh? A magic crystal from a second-tier magical beast, the Wood Devouring Wolf?"

"And it's so large, it must be a High-grade Wood Element Magic Crystal!"

When everyone saw the appearance of the magic crystal, they all exclaimed in surprise. Clearly, they hadn't expected such a rare item to appear at this auction.

Next, after Ya Fei announced the starting price, the entire auction hall immediately erupted in excitement.

"I bid eight thousand!"

"Hehe, eight thousand six!"

"Ten thousand gold coins, this Wood Element Magic Crystal is mine!"

"Listen to me, I'll offer twenty thousand!"

In a short time, the price of this High-grade Wood Element Magic Crystal continued to soar.

The atmosphere in the auction house reached its peak with every smile and glance from Ya Fei, or her charming words.

Meanwhile, in a secluded corner, Xiao Tian's gaze was fixed tightly on the black iron piece holding this High-grade Wood Element Magic Crystal, his pupils contracting slightly.

"System, are you saying that unremarkable black iron piece is actually something good?" Xiao Tian immediately asked in his mind.

[That's correct. Although this black iron piece is unremarkable, it hides an Earth-tier Dou Technique within it.]

"An Earth-tier Dou Technique?"

Hearing this, a great shock arose within Xiao Tian's heart. He clearly hadn't expected that this inconspicuous black iron piece would hide an Earth-tier Dou Technique.

If the system hadn't suddenly reminded him during the auction competition just now, Xiao Tian would never have discovered the secret within this black iron piece.

However, the price had already soared to twenty-five thousand gold coins. Even if he sold his underwear, he wouldn't have the qualifications to bid.

"Do you have money?"

Scratching his head awkwardly, Xiao Tian asked Xiao Yan, who was beside him.

Xiao Yan also shrugged, indicating he was penniless.

"Why come to an auction if you have no money? Two poor beggars!"

"Yeah, just taking up two spots for nothing!"

Seeing the awkward situation of Xiao Tian and Xiao Yan, several people nearby immediately scoffed and mocked them.

However, the moment their voices fell, suddenly, a window in a private room on the second floor opened, and a slender, fair jade hand reached out.

"One hundred thousand gold coins!"

Immediately after, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly echoed throughout the entire auction.
