Xiao Yan was astonished when he saw Meng Chen following Yafei through the VIP passage.

Hearing Xiao Yan's cry of surprise, Xiao Zhan followed his gaze and looked over as well. "Yan'er, do you know that person?"

"Sort of." Xiao Yan told Xiao Zhan about what had happened at noon, and Xiao Zhan nodded after hearing it.

"Mm, making another friend means gaining another connection in the future. Come on, I'll take you through the VIP passage."

As the head of one of Wutan City's three great clans, Xiao Zhan naturally had the qualifications to use the VIP passage.

Before long, the Xiao Clan group entered the auction hall through the VIP passage and was seated near the front.

Xiao Yan then took Xiao Xun'er to look for Meng Chen.

"Meng, brother!"

Meng Chen had just found seats with Qing Yanjing when Xiao Yan's voice rang out beside him. He looked up to see Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er approaching together.

"Brother Xiao, you came to the auction too?"

Meng Chen rose and cupped his hands toward Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan nodded and pointed toward where the Xiao Clan members were seated.

"I came with the clan elders to join in the excitement. And this is?"

Xiao Yan looked at Qing Yanjing.

Meng Chen said, "This is my elder, Aunt Qing. Aunt Qing, these are two friends I met in Wutan City today, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er."

"Greetings, Aunt Qing." Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er cupped their hands in salute toward Qing Yanjing.

Qing Yanjing gave a slight nod. Beneath her veil, her crimson lips parted, and a gentle, pleasant voice followed.

"Hello."

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan walked over as well. His gaze fell upon Meng Chen and Qing Yanjing, and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.

Such outstanding bearing. Their backgrounds must be extraordinary!

When Xiao Yan saw his father arrive, he introduced Xiao Zhan to Meng Chen and the others. "Brother Meng, Aunt Qing, this is my father, as well as the head of the Xiao Clan."

"Clan Head Xiao." Meng Chen greeted Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan replied with a warm smile, "You must be Yan'er's new friend. If you run into any trouble in Wutan City in the future, feel free to come find Uncle Xiao. If I can help, I certainly will."

"Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Xiao in the future."

Meng Chen did not stand on ceremony with Xiao Zhan and readily agreed.

After a round of pleasantries, Xiao Zhan took Xiao Yan and the others back to their seats.

"Hmm?"

After the Xiao Clan members left, Meng Chen sensed a lecherous gaze fixed on him. Following it, he saw a pale, somewhat thin young man.

Meng Chen's eyes turned cold. This guy... was Jialie Ao?

Qing Yanjing also sensed Jialie Ao's filthy gaze, and faint displeasure appeared on her stunning face beneath the veil.

"Aunt Qing, we'll deal with him after the auction ends," Meng Chen said in a low voice.

Qing Yanjing frowned and nodded.

Xiao Yan also noticed Jialie Ao's death wish and sneered quietly. "Someone's about to have a really bad time."

"Who's about to have a bad time?" Xiao Xun'er tilted her head in confusion.

Xiao Yan pointed at Jialie Ao. When Xiao Xun'er saw Jialie Ao staring fixedly in Meng Chen's direction, she immediately understood what Xiao Yan meant.

"Brother Xiao Yan, Jialie Ao seems much stronger than before." Xiao Xun'er's delicate brows furrowed, and a trace of concern appeared between them.

Jialie Ao was the young master of the Jialie Clan. If he truly made a move against Meng Chen, could Meng Chen come through unscathed?

Xiao Yan smiled. "That old fellow Jialie Bi bought a wind-element Profound Tier, High Grade cultivation technique before. Jialie Ao has been cultivating that technique for a year now, so it's normal for him to have grown stronger."

"But Meng Chen is no ordinary person. Just the bearing he and Aunt Qing possess is enough to tell that their backgrounds are extraordinary. A mere Jialie Ao dares provoke them? Even if he doesn't die, he'll be crippled."

"So Brother Xiao Yan took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Meng Chen because you guessed at his background?" Xiao Xun'er asked.

Xiao Yan said, "That was part of it, but there was another reason too."

Hearing that, Xiao Xun'er did not press the matter further.

The auction soon began.

Yafei stepped onto the stage on her beautiful legs clad in black silk, looking enchanting and seductive. She immediately drew the burning gazes of countless men, their QQ levels shooting straight to max!

Seeing the atmosphere in the hall heat up, Yafei felt slightly pleased with herself.

Several years of experience had taught her just how irresistible her beauty was to men. A faint smile curled her red lips as her eyes swept over the audience.

But when her gaze passed over Meng Chen, she could not help freezing slightly.

Meng Chen wore an indifferent expression, without the naked desire displayed by the other men. He looked at her as though she were merely an ordinary person.

Yafei was somewhat surprised. Had her charm weakened?

She swept her gaze across the other male guests again. Most of them looked like wolves spotting meat, which only made her more puzzled.

She was still as alluring as ever. Why wasn't Young Master Meng reacting at all?

Yafei inconspicuously shifted her gaze away from Meng Chen. Her red lips parted as she gave a soft laugh and clapped her jade-like hands.

With a sweet smile, she said, "Everyone, Yafei knows why you have come this time. Therefore, we will skip the opening appetizers and bring out what you have all been waiting for first."

As she spoke, Yafei lightly raised her jade-like hand, and the lights on the stage immediately dimmed considerably.

She bent slightly forward, and the proud curves beneath her black gauze formed a breathtaking silhouette.

Then, she took out a jade tray from the center of the stage. Resting upon it was a white jade bottle.

At the sight of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, the gazes of everyone below instantly grew much hotter—several degrees hotter than when they had seen Yafei. One after another, they began rubbing their hands together, ready to claim the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid for themselves.

The Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid had originally been meant as the grand finale, but with Meng Chen's Profound Tier, High Grade battle skill, it could only step aside.

Just like in the original story, Yafei dragged Xiao Yan out to promote it. Xiao Yan was helpless. Fine, fine—he had consigned it for auction anyway. Promoting his own item was no loss!

The Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid also sold for a high price, just as in the original story. Xiao Zhan had fleeced Jialie Bi for a hundred thousand gold coins, enraging Jialie Bi until he blew his beard and glared, wishing he could fight Xiao Zhan in an octagonal cage on the spot.

Just as everyone thought the auction was over and began to rise to leave, Yafei smiled charmingly once more.

"Everyone, please don't be in such a hurry to leave. The true grand finale is only appearing now!"

"What?!"

"There's more? Wasn't the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid the grand finale?"

"Damn it! Xiao Zhan, I'm not done with you!"

The moment he heard that the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid was not the grand finale, Jialie Bi was the first to explode. He glared furiously at Xiao Zhan, his eyes bloodshot and his breath coming in heavy gasps. It was obvious that his Douluo Tang Clan syndrome had flared up.

Xiao Zhan had not expected there to be another grand finale either. But when he remembered that he had fleeced Jialie Bi for a hundred thousand gold coins and directly forced him out of the competition, he could not help laughing aloud.

"Jialie Bi, Jialie Bi, all for the sake of one breath, you ended up screwing yourself over. Wonderful! I thank you!"

Yafei tapped the hammer, and the auction hall gradually quieted down. She bent down again and presented a battle skill scroll on a silver tray.

"Today's final grand finale is a fire-element Profound Tier, High Grade battle skill, a scroll of Profound Flame Palm! Starting price: one hundred and twenty thousand gold coins!"

When they heard that the grand finale was actually a Profound Tier, High Grade battle skill, the entire hall erupted. Countless pairs of eyes stared fixedly at the scroll on the silver tray, finding it even more attractive than Yafei.

"A Profound Tier, High Grade battle skill!"

"Xiao Zhan, I ###### you!!!"

"Haha, it looks like this battle skill is destined to belong to my Xiao Clan today. It's even fire-element! Wonderful! Truly wonderful!"
