Invincible Over the World
Chapter 143 - 143 143 Seeing Yang An Again

143: Chapter 143: Seeing Yang An Again 143: Chapter 143: Seeing Yang An Again Yang An!

That familiar figure was none other than Yang An, who had been defeated by Huang Xiaolong in the Outer Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, even Yang An from the Outer Kingdom had come to Luotong Royal City this time.

Since Yang An was here, could it be that his grandfather Yang Dong had also come?

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed.

“Yang An?” At this moment, Fei Hou also noticed Yang An at the auction and expressed some surprise.

“Is that kid Yang An?” Marshal Haotian followed Fei Hou’s gaze toward Yang An in the auction.

Although he hadn’t gone to the Outer Kingdom at the time, he was aware of Huang Xiaolong defeating Yang An there.

Fei Hou nodded, “That’s the kid.”

Just then, Yang An entered through the VIP corridor of the auction, confirming Huang Xiaolong’s guess.

Indeed, Yang Dong had also arrived, because only Innate Experts could arrange for VIP rooms.

If Yang Dong hadn’t come, Yang An couldn’t have possibly secured a VIP room.

People continuously entered the auction venue, with major forces from various kingdoms surrounding them.

It was a noisy scene.

After entering the auction, the usually lively Huang Min quieted down quite a bit, sitting obediently as her large eyes roved excitedly over the audience below, seemingly looking for someone?

Seeing this, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but chuckle, “I say, little girl, you didn’t come to the auction to bid for items, did you?

Are you here to find someone?”

Huang Xiaolong’s question was meant in jest, but Huang Min’s face turned red with a mix of shyness and annoyance as she glared at Huang Xiaolong, “Big brother, what are you talking about?

Of course, I came to the auction to bid for items!”

Huang Xiaolong was taken aback; he hadn’t expected to hit the nail on the head.

Could it be that his sister really did come to find someone?

“Then tell me, which item do you want to bid for at the auction?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a meaningful smile.

Huang Min hemmed and hawed without a clear answer, and finally, she pretended to be angry, “Anyway, I just want to bid for something.”

Huang Xiaolong shook his head with a smile.

Marshal Haotian and Fei Hou also smiled.

By now, the auction venue was packed to the rafters, with ten thousand seats all filled without a single empty spot.

With the venue in such a state, the dozens of VIP rooms at the Ten Thousand Treasures Auction were undoubtedly full as well.

Before long, the entrance to the auction was closed to any more arrivals, and an old man in his seventies, dressed in the auction house garb, stepped onto the auction stage.

After ascending the stage, the elderly man briefly introduced himself as a Senior Auctioneer of the Ten Thousand Treasures Auction and an auctioneer of the Luotong Royal City branch.

There were only two senior auctioneers, while there were many at the junior and intermediate levels.

The fact that a senior auctioneer was overseeing this auction highlighted the importance attached to this event.

Following his introduction, the old man briefly explained the auction rules.

After outlining the rules, he announced the start of the auction.

The first item to go under the hammer was a piece of Black Essence.

Black Essence was an important material for refining Fourth Grade High Stage Spirit Pills.

Normally, Black Essence was only as big as a baby’s fist, but this piece was as large as an adult’s palm, two to three times larger than usual.

The starting bid was one hundred thousand Gold Coins.

The first item of an auction was often the cheapest item of the event.

One hundred thousand Gold Coins!

Just thinking about the prices of items to be auctioned later sent shivers down the spines of some of the smaller and medium-sized forces in attendance.

“One hundred and ten thousand!”

“One hundred and twenty thousand!”

The bidding voice rose quickly from below.

In the end, the piece of Black Essence was purchased for one hundred and thirty thousand Gold Coins.

Sitting inside the VIP room, Huang Xiaolong did not open his mouth to bid.

Though Black Essence was an important alchemy material, it was of no use to him.

Next up for auction is a long sword called the Nanli Sword.

According to the auctioneer, the Nanli Sword was forged from Ten-thousand-year-old Cold Essence and various rare fine irons, making it extremely sharp.

However, that’s secondary.

What’s most important is the former owner of the Nanli Sword—according to what the auctioneer said, the former owner named Su Fei was an Innate Seventh Rank expert.

More than a hundred years ago, this Su Fei had a formidable reputation in the surrounding kingdoms.

After his death, the Nanli Sword disappeared and was only recently found by the people of the Ten Thousand Treasures Auction.

Huang Xiaolong, having the Shura Blade, naturally did not care for the Nanli Sword, but Huang Min’s eyes lit up at the sight of it, revealing her fondness for the sword.

“Big brother, can you—,” Huang Min started, looking a bit embarrassed to ask.

Seeing his sister’s expression, Huang Xiaolong asked, “You want to bid for the Nanli Sword?”

Huang Min nodded.

Although she had saved up over the years, she didn’t have enough to bid for the Nanli Sword.

“Two hundred thousand!” In that moment, someone down below shouted a bid.

The starting bid for the Nanli Sword was one hundred and eighty thousand.

“Two hundred and ten thousand!” Another voice called out a bid.

“Three hundred thousand!” Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong from the VIP room called out.

Three hundred thousand!

Many people were taken aback.

“Three hundred and ten thousand!” However, as soon as Huang Xiaolong’s voice fell, someone immediately bid from another VIP room.

“Four hundred thousand!” Huang Xiaolong’s face remained calm.

Four hundred thousand!

The auction hall fell silent for a moment, and the previous bidding VIP room quieted down as well.

In the end, the Nanli Sword was purchased by Huang Xiaolong for four hundred thousand.

When the personnel of the Ten Thousand Treasures Auction delivered the Nanli Sword to the VIP room, Huang Min held the Nanli Long Sword with joyful eyes.

“Now can you tell me who you were looking for at the auction?” Huang Xiaolong smiled and asked, seeing the joy in his sister’s eyes.

With the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce being so well-off, four hundred thousand to Huang Xiaolong was just a drop in the bucket.

Huang Min hesitated a little, then replied somewhat shyly, “I came looking for Guo Tai.”

“Guo Tai?” Huang Xiaolong was puzzled and looked to Marshal Haotian and Fei Hou.

Both of them shook their heads, obviously also unfamiliar with the name.

Huang Min lowered her head and said, “He’s the son of Guo Shiyuan.”

“Guo Shiyuan!” Huang Xiaolong, Haotian, and Fei Hou were all surprised.

Guo Shiyuan, the chairman of the Ten Thousand Treasures Commerce’s branch in Lutong Royal City!

After his initial surprise, Huang Xiaolong shook his head and smiled.

So, the real reason his sister came to the Ten Thousand Treasures Auction was for her sweetheart!

Thinking about it, it made sense.

After this year, his sister would be sixteen years old; in another couple of years, she would be reaching the age suitable for discussing marriage.

“Do father and mother know?” Huang Xiaolong asked.

“Not yet,” Huang Min replied, somewhat sheepishly.

“Then find an opportunity to bring Guo Tai to the Heavenly Mystical Mansion.

Let me, father, and mother meet him,” Huang Xiaolong smiled and said.

Huang Min, seeing that Huang Xiaolong didn’t object, couldn’t help but feel joy in her heart, promptly nodding, “Okay!”

Following that, a dozen or so items were auctioned off.

“Now, we are going to auction off a Heaven and Earth Strange Object, the Earth Core Lotion!” the auctioneer announced, raising his voice on stage.

Earth Core Lotion!

Suddenly, the auction hall was abuzz, as most of the major powers present had come mainly for the Earth Core Lotion.(To be continued.
