Chapter 523: Hihihi
Despite the high price offered by the VIPs on the third floor, the young man on the ground floor cinched the winning bid. Much to the ire of the other bidders. The man could feel their ire, malice even, but he paid them no heed. He radiated confidence, like he would come out on top no matter how many hurdles appeared before him.
Of course, that confidence only appeared after he won the auction for the five element peacock’s blood. It made him, a nameless face among the throng of people on the ground floor, stand out like a lightbulb.
Tianyi leaned back in his chair and rested his chin on his knuckles, eyes narrowed in interest. He wanted to watch how everything would play out. He watched as the auction continued. More and more items were brought forth, even a fifth-rank pill, but he didn’t care for them. He only studied the young man.
The young man bid two more times in the auction, winning each time. Tianyi could sense unconcealed malice radiating from half the suites on the third floor. He was really looking forward to seeing what happened after the auction ended.
A few hours later, the last item was successfully won by a customer on the third floor. In Tianyi’s eyes, it wasn’t as valuable as the depleted five element peacock’s blood, but only if they knew how to use the blood. Next, it was time for the guests to leave.
Although Tianyi didn’t bid on anything, the manager still personally led him to the exit. Tianyi thanked the manager and walked out of the auction house. A few people who heard about his “identity” stepped forward to start a conversation, but Tianyi and Su Bojing’s figure disappeared in a flash.
The people who wanted to form a relationship with a five star alchemist, even if only by indirect relation, all became puzzled. They looked around, but couldn’t find a hide nor hair of him or his servant. Even if Tianyi was in the same spot, they would not be able to spot him, or even touch him.
From his spot in the air, Tianyi zeroed in on the young man. He could sense the hidden maliciousness of a group of people in the dark. Tianyi’s lips quirked upward.
He followed the young man as he left the city gates. The young man picked up the pace and ran with his companion. Finally, he stopped once he was outside of the city’s vicinity. He turned around. “How long are you going to skulk? Come out, I know you’re here.”
