Chapter 833: Chapter 0833: The Familiar Auctioneer

"Yes, our Sun Family is also considered a prominent family in the provincial capital. Naturally, we received an invitation."

Sun Wuchang nodded and looked at Tang Ming, saying, "But seeing you here, Leader Tang, truly surprises me."

"It seems you know quite a bit, but if my identity gets out, I guarantee your Sun Family will be in trouble."

Tang Ming smiled and looked at Sun Wuchang calmly as he spoke.

Hearing this, Sun Wuchang’s mouth twitched. He had come over in good faith to greet him, and this guy actually threatened him. How rude.

"Ahem, where is Sun Zhuangjia?"

Su Xiaoxi quickly spoke up to ease the tension.

"Alas! My son is still in the psychiatric hospital, constantly babbling nonsense. It might take some time before he recovers."

Sun Wuchang sighed helplessly.

Right now, Sun Zhuangjia still believed that Tang Xin was Tang Ming. He wouldn’t listen to anyone, constantly talking about illusions and magic. Helpless, the Sun Family had to send him to the psychiatric hospital, fearing he might go cause trouble for Tang Ming or Tang Xin, which would be disastrous.

Tang Ming and Su Xiaoxi exchanged glances, both unable to suppress their smiles. They hadn’t expected the Sun Family to actually send Sun Zhuangjia to a psychiatric hospital. It was brilliant.

"Let’s go inside; the auction is about to start."

Not wanting to say more, Sun Wuchang called out loudly and led the flamboyant woman into the venue.

When Tang Ming and Su Xiaoxi entered the venue, it was already packed. Fortunately, their tickets had seat numbers, and they took their seats to wait for the auction to begin.

Behind the curtain on the auction stage, Zhou Hai stood coldly observing Tang Ming and Su Xiaoxi. He had failed to embarrass Tang Ming in the restaurant earlier; this time, he was determined to make that bastard suffer.

"Master, we are here!"

At this moment, Qin Shou and Guo Yong approached Zhou Hai with pale faces.

"Stay away from me."

Zhou Hai immediately covered his nose with a disgusted expression.

"Master, we’ve already bathed for a long time; there’s no smell now."

Guo Yong looked bitterly at Zhou Hai. The feeling of eating their own poop was unbelievably disgusting.

"I must kill that bastard. He definitely set us up earlier. How else could it be so coincidental that the woman with an octopus head hit us?"

Qin Shou gritted his teeth and muttered.

"No kidding. Anyone can see that kid deliberately messed with you two."

Zhou Hai rolled his eyes and said coldly, "Rest assured, this auction is our time for revenge. I’ll make sure he loses everything. Stay sharp."

"Alright, alright. This is our turf, after all. We can definitely screw him over."

Qin Shou nodded repeatedly, looking venomously at Tang Ming, who was dozing in his seat through a gap.

After ten minutes, the venue closed, and the auction officially began. At this moment, the place held at least five to six hundred people, each with different expressions. Some were there to sell items, others to buy based on news they’d heard; everyone had their own motives.

Very soon, the auction began. When the auctioneer took the stage, Tang Ming and Su Xiaoxi were stunned—she was an old acquaintance.

A tall, beautiful young woman just over twenty years old, dressed in a very sexy cheongsam, revealing her fair thighs. Her appearance made everyone present flush with excitement.

This scene, this silhouette was so familiar that Tang Ming and Su Xiaxi felt like they were back at the auction in Wanjing City.

This beautiful auctioneer was Caidie, who had overseen the final auction in Wanjing City. They hadn’t expected her to be managing this auction again.

"Why is it her again? Who is she really?"

Tang Ming furrowed his brows, staring intently at Caidie. He always felt a sense of familiarity from her, but couldn’t pinpoint why.

"Hmph! Didn’t you say you weren’t interested in women? So why do you remember this sexy woman?"

Su Xiaoxi scoffed, displeased, "Do you like women in cheongsams?"

"What are you talking about?"

Tang Ming rolled his eyes.

"I don’t know what this woman’s background is, but she appears at every large martial arts auction. She must have an impressive background."

Su Xiaoxi analyzed, "Moreover, her fee isn’t low. The last auction in Wanjing City was hosted by several major families pooling resources to invite her."

"Alright, then I really don’t know her."

Tang Ming nodded, dismissing the matter.

The auction officially began. The first items auctioned were some that had already been announced, and they were immediately contested. Today’s auction was an event for the alliance of martial arts powers within the urban system, so every item was highly priced. The lowest-starting item was a jade pendant, which sold for over three million.

As the number of auctioned items increased, the atmosphere in the venue began to warm up. Caidie wasn’t just beautiful but highly professional, adept at creating a lively atmosphere. She quickly made the event exciting, but the items truly coveted by many prominent families had yet to appear.

After several rounds of bidding, Su Xiaoxi started to get impatient because the item she was supposed to purchase for the Su Family hadn’t shown up.

At this point, Tang Ming was almost falling asleep. None of the items being auctioned were what Liu Gaoze wanted, nor were they suitable for him. Although valuable, they didn’t pique his interest, so he soon felt listless.

Su Xiaoxi, however, remained tense, hoping the item she needed would appear. But clearly, the more valuable items were saved for the latter part, and her target item hadn’t shown up yet.

Just as their interest waned, the auctioneer brought out a silver code-locked box, adorned with dragon patterns.

The box’s exterior alone suggested that what’s inside was extraordinary.

"What’s inside? It looks quite mysterious."

Su Xiaoxi also perked up, her eyes fixated on the box on stage.

After keeping the audience in suspense, Caidie finally opened the box slowly and set it upright. Inside was an object shimmering with a silver-black light.

As everyone speculated, Caidie pointed to the items in the box and introduced, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is an Outer Heaven Meteorite, referred to by the seller as Star-falling Iron. It’s said to be an ancient meteorite used for artifact refining—an invaluable treasure."

As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd buzzed with whispers. Though Caidie spoke highly of it, artifact refiners were scarce nowadays. Even if they bought the Star-falling Iron, there might be no one to forge it into a treasure, reducing it to a worthless piece of iron.
