“Senior Brother Teng, I heard that the war in the west is about to end. Is that true?” Mu Yuerong asked.
“That’s right. Master said that there was a big shot who appeared. He was rumored to be an expert in using the transformation force who specialized in guarding the space-travel passage in the lake,” Teng Zhihui replied.
“Then Senior Brother Lin should be able to return soon. We have to make some preparations,” Mu Yuerong said with a smile. “We have to make it grand this time. The conditions on the battlefield are so bad, Senior Brother Lin must have suffered a lot.”
“…Sure,” Teng Zhihui replied awkwardly.
Chen Yiming was delighted to hear that the war was about to end.
After the war ended, the military power in East Lake City would soon recover, and public order in the city would return to normal.
The Chen family also did not continue the way they were now, only daring to move around the neighborhood and not daring to go out at night.
They would not have anything to worry about and could go out without any concerns.
Another two days passed.
Chen Yiming was fretting over the lack of progress in his investigation into the piece of bone when a woman who claimed to be the landlord of the apartment the Chen family was renting came knocking on his door.
After a brief introduction, the two found a cafe and sat down for a chat.
“Mr. Chen, there’s an auction that’s going to be held. Are you interested?” Liu Wanqing asked as she placed the invitation on the table.
Liu Wanqing was wearing a white cheongsam. She had a tall figure and was nearly 1.8 meters tall in her high heels.
“Just get straight to the point,” Chen Yiming replied. Before he came, he had learned from the woman that she planned to give him the house for free.
“The main purpose of our auction is to provide a platform for everyone to mutually gain benefits and expand their connections.
At that time, there would be martial arts techniques, rare mutant beast meat, equipment and other items needed for cultivation being auctioned.
As long as you agree to attend the function, we can go and formalize the changes regarding the house,” Wan Qing said respectfully.
“So I just need to attend? Are there no other conditions?” Chen Yiming asked doubtfully.
“That’s right. We only hope that in the future, you can consider our company if you want to get rid of the resources that you don’t need. We will definitely not give you a bad deal,” Wan Qing explained.
“Alright, I agree,” Chen Yiming replied after some consideration.
He did not care about the cost of the house. After the war ended, East Lake City would return to normal.
It was impossible for the property prices to remain so high. They might even have fallen to rock bottom at the moment.
He planned to leave the martial arts school. The auction would be a good platform. He might be able to obtain some useful information that could help in his investigation into the half piece of bone.
After settling the matter, the two of them went straight to the real estate bureau to settle the changes in the ownership of the house.
After exiting the real estate bureau, Chen Yiming watched as Liu Wanqing left in a luxury car.
He was curious about Liu Wanqing’s identity. Earlier, when they went to make the changes in the house ownership, the entire process was actually done by that woman alone.
It was evening.
Peninsula Villa
was the location of the auction, and it was in the southern suburbs. The villa was located at the corner of the river, so it was named the Peninsula Villa.
Chen Yiming went home and briefly told Father Chen and Mother Chen about what had happened that day. When Chen Yingying heard about the news, she said that she wanted to go with him. Father Chen and Mother Chen also hoped that their daughter could go out and relax, since she had been cooped up at home for too long.
When Chen Yiming and Chen Yingying arrived at the villa, the parking lot was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars.
“As expected, once the war ends, the city will return to normal,” Chen Yiming thought to himself.
During times of war, supplies were forcefully redirected to the front line, and there was no place to refuel the luxury cars.
“Big Brother, it’s so lively at the villa’s entrance.” Chen Yingying pointed excitedly at the people entering and exiting.
Chen Yiming took out his invitation and passed it to the guard. The receptionist at the side walked out and led Chen Yiming and Chen Yingying in.
The decorations in the Peninsula Villa were extremely luxurious. It was both traditional and flamboyant. When they entered the main hall, it was already filled with people who had come to attend the auction.
When he looked at the scene, he got the feeling of the modern world that he had not experienced for a long time.
“Brother Yiming.”
Chen Yiming had never attended an auction before. At this moment, he was standing in a corner with Chen Yingying, waiting for the auction to begin. Suddenly, someone called out to him from behind.
‘Why are you here too?”
Chen Yiming turned around and saw Wei Chaoyuan walking over. “This is?” Wei Chaoyuan looked at Chen Yingying and asked.
“My sister, Chen Yingying,” Chen Yiming introduced.
“So it’s your little sister Yingying. I’m who has fought alongside your brother before.” Wei Chaoyuan took out a fragrance pouch from his pocket and stuffed it into Chen Yingying’s hand. “This sachet can help you calm your mind when you carry it with you.”
“Thank you, Brother Wei,” Chen Yiming turned around and urged his sister to respond.
“Thank you, Brother Wei,” Chen Yingying said softly.
After practicing martial arts for a long time to temper one’s body, one’s mind would easily become impulsive and angry. A fragrance pouch that could be of use to Wei Chaoyuan, who had undergone five transformations, was very precious.
After a brief chat, Wei Chaoyuan introduced Chen Yiming to two of his friends that had come along with him.
Shi Changyi was the son of a big company’s owner. He had undergone four transformations and was over two meters tall. He was extremely muscular and did not look like the son of a merchant.
Ling Shijie was the son of the leader of the Blue Cloud Sect. He had undergone five transformations and was about 1.9 meters tall. He had a sharp gaze and a murderous aura around him.
“Do you know if there are any good items up for auction this time?” Chen Yiming asked Wei Chaoyuan.
“It has been suspended for nearly a year after all. I heard that there are quite a few good items here this time. According to what I learned earlier, there is a longsword made by Master Swordsmith Hong. It would be very suitable for you,” Wei Chaoyuan replied.
“I see.” Chen Yiming wasn’t very interested and asked, “Do they have any high-level martial arts techniques?
“It seems like there’s an incomplete warrior-level fist technique as the finale. I heard about it from my father, but I’m not too sure about the details,” Shi Changyi said.
“Fist technique? It’s not a sword technique.” Chen Yiming was startled.
If it was an incomplete warrior-level sword technique like the one from the Li clan in the south of the city, it could be used to perfectly conceal the fact that he only needed a way to break through. In fact, even the fist technique could be used as a reference.
He did not press Shi Changyi for details, to prevent revealing his true intentions. If the information turned out to be true, he might have to become An Chen again.
‘What a pity. Brother Yiming, you use a sword, while I use a saber. We have no use for a fist technique.” Wei Chaoyuan sighed.
“Brother Wei, have you forgotten that I use fists?” Ling Shijie said, “By the way,
Brother Shi, is it true that the finale of the auction is a fist technique?”
“In order to attract truly capable buyers, the auction will release some information in advance. It is unlikely to be wrong, but I don’t know the details about the fist technique,” Shi Changyi replied.
After hearing this, Ling Shijie bid farewell and left.
Shi Changyi shrugged and said helplessly, “Isn’t Brother Lingtoo impatient? For this kind of fist technique to be sold at the finale of the auction, the price will basically be sky high. Even if one can buy it, it’s another issue whether one can bring it back safely.”
Chen Yiming fell into deep thought. Things weren’t that simple.
Previously, the Li clan from the south of the city had gifted a sword technique manual to Zheng Qiming. Zheng Qiming was from one of the seven great martial arts clans, the Zheng family, and even that had caused a huge fight.
This was a public auction, and they would be openly competing for the fist technique. The fighting would be even more intense than the previous time.
There must be many people who shared his thoughts..
