733: Chapter 693: The Second Auction_1 733: Chapter 693: The Second Auction_1 The moment Lu Chuan stepped out the door, all the watching eyes turned towards him in unison.

When they saw him walking out in the open, they couldn’t help but be startled.

What was going on?

Was he not hiding anymore?

Instantly, the surrounding crowd became restless and agitated, some whispering in each other’s ears, apparently discussing something.

Lu Chuan couldn’t be bothered with them and headed straight towards the auction.

Some informants hurriedly followed behind him, while another group rushed towards the direction of Lu Manor.

As Lu Chuan walked down the street, even though he was recognized, no one dared to approach and trouble him.

Who would dare to mess with the ruthless man who had dared to set fire to a shop belonging to the Lu family?

Certainly, not the average person.

Lu Chuan quickly arrived at the entrance of the auction, where quite a crowd had already gathered, lining up to get in.

He walked over naturally, ignoring the gazes of those around him.

At that moment, Lu Chuan caught sight of Qin Xiong and walked towards him.

“Brother Qin, you’re quite early today,” he said.

“You are?”

He looked at Lu Chuan curiously.

“What, you don’t recognize my voice?

I was sitting right next to you yesterday.”

“You are… Dongfang Chuan?”

Lu Chuan smiled, “That was yesterday’s me.

Today is different, today I am called Lu Chuan.”

Now that he had a clear picture of Lu Manor’s situation, there was no need for Lu Chuan to continue hiding himself.

It was only the power of a Martial Emperor Realm Grade 5, and he had absolutely no reason to be afraid.

Qin Xiong stared at Lu Chuan, stunned and standing still.

For a moment, he had no idea what to say or do.

He looked at Lu Chuan, lost in thought.

“Lu Chuan…

This name…

why does it sound familiar?”

At this moment, Qin Shuang came over, extending her delicate white hand, pointing at Lu Chuan, and asked, “Are you Lu Chuan?

The one wanted by the Lu family?”

Her words immediately drew the attention of many people nearby.

Lu Chuan smiled awkwardly, “Don’t say it so loud.”

Qin Xiong was completely dumbfounded.

The person he brought yesterday was an enemy of the Lu family!

He panicked, trembling all over, somewhat afraid as he looked at Lu Chuan.

“You…

you… and Dongfang Cheng, you two have doomed me!”

“If our Qin family offends the Lu family because of you, then we have committed an unforgivable sin!”

“I can’t become the sinner of my family; I must report this!”

His emotions became very agitated.

He was afraid of the Lu family involving him and his Qin family because of this.

Thus, he knew what he had to do first was to try to mitigate the damage as much as he could, to not let the Lu family’s wrath fall upon him.

“Will you be able to explain clearly?

You’re my accomplice.

If you go looking for someone from the Lu family now, the next second you’ll be taken away!”

“When I returned to the Dongfang family yesterday, I kidnapped a very important person from the Lu family.

They’re furious right now.”

Qin Xiong stepped back two paces, looking nervously at Lu Chuan, “Who did you kidnap?”

“Lu Meng, do you know her?”

“You kidnapped Lu Meng?

You…

you’ve got some nerve.

Release that person immediately!” Qin Xiong shouted out in a very agitated manner.

“Don’t panic, I kidnapped her, so you’re implicated too.

Panicking won’t help.

Without your assistance yesterday, I couldn’t have gotten to her.”

Qin Xiong covered his face with his hands, feeling a sensation like he wanted to cry.

Qin Shuang bit her lip, crossing her arms and staring resentfully at Lu Chuan.

And Qin Yue, puffing up her cheeks with anger, questioned, “Why did you use us?”

“Little sister, rest assured, nothing will happen to the Qin Residence because of me.”

“Impossible, the Lu family is invincible.

By offending them with our help, we will all die because of you!” she declared with certainty.

Lu Chuan sighed helplessly.

“Everyone, calm down.

If things escalate, you’re going to be in trouble right now.”

“Isn’t this big enough already?

What else do you want to do?”

Qin Xiong asked weakly.

“I’m here to attend the auction, what else would I be doing?”

“You’re still going to participate in the auction?”

Qin Xiong looked at Lu Chuan with utter astonishment.

“Is there a problem?

Isn’t this an auction?

I’m here to participate, of course.

Come on, it’s almost our turn, stop talking.”

“Once inside, follow my lead and don’t make any rash moves.”

Lu Chuan was at the very front, moving forward with the line.

When it was their turn, the guard at the door gazed at Lu Chuan, stunned for a long while.

Qin Xiong’s heart was fraught with tension, fearing things would go awry in the next second.

“Just go in, and enjoy the auction today.”

The guard said coldly, his words clearly carrying a deeper meaning.

Lu Chuan didn’t bother to overthink and walked straight in.

Then, Qin Xiong approached, “I don’t know the person ahead, whatever he does has nothing to do with us.”

“Did I ask you about that?

What are you explaining for?”

Qin Xiong immediately lowered his head nervously, “Nothing, just pretend I was kidding.”

His words had the unintended effect of protesting too much; he sighed deeply and entered the auction.

Afterwards, Lu Chuan found his seat from yesterday and sat down.

Qin Xiong really wanted to sit somewhere else, but the place was still packed today, so he had to sit in his reserved spot.

After the four of them sat down, everyone except for Lu Chuan was on edge.

Qin Shuang was constantly biting her red lips, occasionally stealing glances at Lu Chuan.

Doubts surged in her heart; how could this man remain so composed?

Was he truly not afraid of the Lu family?

The host from yesterday came to the stage and addressed everyone with open arms.

“Welcome to the auction hosted by Lu Manor.

Today, we have even more treasures for your appreciation!”

“Now, let’s get straight to the main event!”

The host caught sight of Lu Chuan in the crowd and his warm welcome paused for quite a while.

Then, he looked toward the staff at the side, “Bring up the first auction item.”

A beautiful woman came forward, pushing a small cart.

“The first auction item is a refined Magic Artifact, the Celestial Candle Sword!”

“A sword that commands flames, very suitable for swordsmen to wield.”

“With so many swordsmen in attendance today, this precious sword is truly perfect for a swordsman.”

“The starting bid, one thousand taels of gold!”

Lu Chuan immediately raised his sign without hesitation.

“I bid two thousand taels.”

With that statement, all eyes in the room instantly turned towards him.

“Hehe…

very well, two thousand taels from you.

Does anyone offer more?”

The host chuckled coldly, then turned his gaze to the others.

The Lu family naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity to act against Lu Chuan.

However, with the auction house so crowded, starting a fight now and potentially injuring many could spell trouble for Lu Manor’s standing in Myriad Stars City in the future.

Thus, their plan was to wait until the end of the auction.

They would only make their move against Lu Chuan after most of the people had left.

So, for now, Lu Chuan could sit comfortably and participate in the auction.
