“The authority token has already been auctioned off, and the Head is scheduled to meet with the buyers personally and exchange a few words. Please wait here, or return when you have the time,” the guard said nonchalantly.
Zhao Wuhuai’s expression darkened.
He glared at the guard, expressing his dissatisfaction. “What do you mean?”
“….”
“The Head is currently unavailable. Please come back when you have the opportunity,” the guard reiterated.
Zhao Wuhuai was about to take action when Wuxing intervened. “Mr. Head, please remain calm.”
Only then did Zhao Wuhuai regain his composure.
Haitian Auction House had numerous regulations. For instance, the use of magical powers was strictly prohibited within the premises. If someone were to cause harm using magic, they would be permanently banned from entering the auction house.
Everyone was treated equally.
There were past examples where individuals had faced such consequences, and none of them were allowed to set foot in the market again.
If he were to act impulsively today, he would be disregarding the rules.
That would result in significant losses.
Zhao Wuhuai snorted and cast a cold gaze at the guard. He brushed off his sleeves and declared, “Let’s depart now.”
With that, he left alongside Zhao Dier and Wuxing.
The members of Piaomiao Pavilion consistently encountered obstacles at Haitian Auction House.
He could do as he pleased outside the mansion.
However, he had encountered numerous setbacks in recent days.
Zhao Wuhuai was very displeased.
However….
On the other side, Gu Chaoyan and Duan Feng were having a great talk.
Gu Chaoyan exchanged the authority token with pills.
Namely, the face-changing pill and the invisibility pill…
With these pills, Haitian Auction House would be able to survive for a long while.
They were in the middle of a cheerful conversation.
The masked man got off the wagon.
Gu Chaoyan had some impression of this man.
They had met twice before.
She wondered who he was.
But as he came to Gu Chaoyan, he took out a medical bottle and passed it to Gu Chaoyan, saying with a hoarse voice. “You need to have a certain level of practice before you can use the authority token. If you don’t, you will turn into dust on the way there. You should know this well.”
“….”
“Heart-protecting Pill, that is the only one. Even if you don’t have any magical power or practice, the pill can guarantee that you won’t turn into dust. But there is only one pill available, just take it, it might come in handy in the future.” The man in mask said.
Then he turned around and decided to go back to the upper floor.
Duan Feng was slightly surprised. He had not expected that his master would give the pills to her.
The heart-protecting pills were very precious.
Gu Chaoyan was surprised too. She had no idea how to express her gratitude.
She thought for a while.
That man’s voice was hoarse. She could not see his face through the mask, but she knew clearly that he was injured.
“Hang on.” Gu Chaoyan said.
“Huh?” The man in mask looked at her in confusion, wondering why she stopped him.
“As a way of gratitude, I can cure your throat.” Gu Chaoyan promised.
The man in the mask stopped and looked at Gu Chaoyan. But he was wearing the mask, so no one could see his expression.
“The wound has been here for more than a decade.”
