Chapter 218 - 167: A Thousand Autumns
Upon arrival, Tang Xi found herself at an antique street.
Cobblestone paved with blue bricks.
Each shop sold items not commonly seen in regular markets.
Guan Yue looked at Tang Xi, "Miss Tang, this way please, Mr. Fu is inside."
Following Guan Yue, Tang Xi entered a shop called "Qianqiu" that sold hand-carved woodwork. The air carried a faint scent of wood, creating an elegant atmosphere. A man dressed in a Sun Yat-sen suit was at the counter; Guan Yue handed over an invitation. Rather than paper, Tang Xi realized Guan Yue passed a delicately carved wooden token.
Upon seeing the token, the man escorted Tang Xi and Guan Yue towards the interior.
Exiting the room, Tang Xi was greeted by a thoroughfare reminiscent of an ancient poem’s secluded paths.
Bamboo trees surrounded them, and passing through the grove, Tang Xi saw a two-story western-style building in front of her.
It emanated an ancient charm.
The man in the Sun Yat-sen suit led Tang Xi and Guan Yue inside, where there was a floor underground. It was only after descending the stairs that Tang Xi realized where she was—an underground auction house.
