Super Invincible Immortal Doctor
Chapter 345 Lu Yunxi_1

Since last night, Chen Yuanheng had released news that the auction would include new heavyweight items: three Alchemy Pills.

Hengtong Auction had professionally appraised these three Spirit Pills and guaranteed their authenticity.

This news, under Chen Yuanheng’s promotion, instantly attracted much attention. The Spirit Pills crafted by cultivators were extremely valuable, appearing at an auction for the first time.

Although some people had doubts, the majority chose to believe given the reputation of Hengtong Auction.

Even those who were not initially interested in the auction were now drawn to it.

Many arrived at the venue early, their discussions almost entirely revolving around the three Spirit Pills that everyone sought.

Fang Yue also arrived at the auction venue. She originally had no interest in the auction but when she heard from Su Chengyu in the morning about attending the auction and learned that the Eternal-youth Pill was for sale, she became intrigued.

Which woman could resist such a Spirit Pill?

Of course, Fang Yue would never admit that one reason she came to the auction was for Su Chengyu.

Despite her frustration and anger from being coldly treated by Su Chengyu this morning, once her anger subsided, Fang Yue couldn’t help but become curious again. She was determined to figure out who Su Cheng was, and why he was so indifferent to her.

Fang Yue didn’t enter the venue but instead waited outside. As it approached seven o’clock, the venue buzzed with activity.

"The auction is about to start, why hasn’t he shown up yet? He wouldn’t have deceived me, would he?"

Fang Yue, sitting in an armchair, didn’t see Su Chengyu and couldn’t help but grumble.

After waiting a while longer, Su Chengyu finally arrived. Fang Yue got up and walked over, greeting Su Chengyu proactively.

"What are you doing here?" Su Chengyu asked indifferently.

"You can be here, why can’t I be?" Fang Yue retorted.

"That’s your freedom." said Su Chengyu.

"Such a killjoy! Unromantic." Fang Yue muttered, then asked, "You’re here for the Spirit Pills too, aren’t you?"

"Sort of." Su Chengyu responded.

"Many people are here for the Spirit Pills, the bidding will certainly be intense. Have you come prepared?" Fang Yue asked.

"Oh, really? If I don’t have enough money, would you lend it to me?" Su Chengyu asked in return.

"I can, consider it me returning the favor. After that, we owe each other nothing. I can then stop throwing myself at you, making it seem as though I am desperate for your attention. I am not thick-skinned, it just doesn’t sit right with me to owe favors."

Fang Yue found a good reason for her behavior.

"Do I owe you so little? I’ve never seen you uncomfortable!"

Su Chengyu retorted, thinking to himself that he had saved her life in Lin Jiang, treated her illnesses, yet he never saw her actively trying to repay him.

"What do you mean?" Fang Yue asked puzzledly.

"It doesn’t really matter, the auction is about to start, let’s go in."

Fang Yue grabbed Su Chengyu’s hand and said, "Wait! You like to keep a low profile, right? Are you just going to walk in like this? I have a special VIP seat, separated from the regular ones, and a dedicated passageway. I’ll the let you use the VIP seat."

"No need," Su Chengyu replied.

At this moment, Chen Yuanheng and a woman came in from another passageway and quickly approached Su Chengyu. The woman accompanying Chen Yuanheng appeared to be in her mid-twenties, possessing heroic features, a brilliant smile, and refined looks; she was an absolute beauty.

Throughout history, the region of Jiangdong had always produced beautiful women, and this city of Jiangyang was no exception.

"Mr. Su, glad you could make it. Please let me introduce, this is my niece Lu Yunxi. My brother is away on business and couldn’t make it back in time, so he asked Yun Xi to represent him in welcoming you.", Chen Yuanheng introduced.

"Mr. Su, hello. I’ve long admired your reputation from what my uncle has shared.", Lu Yunxi said as she extended her hand.

"Hello, Miss Lu."

This was Miss Lu Yunxi from the Lu family, the pearl in the palm of Jiangdong’s wealthiest man, Lu Wanrong. Su Chengyu had heard of her; she was reputed to be a business prodigy.

Fang Yue, standing on the side, was astonished. She never thought that Su Chengyu knew Chen Yuanheng, and even had the daughter of the Lu family personally greeting him. Such prestige and status were rare in Jiangdong.

"Miss Fang? Mr. Su, are you friends with Miss Fang?" Lu Yunxi asked.

Lu Yunxi and Fang Yue were old acquaintances who often met at various events. They were familiar with each other, but not exactly the best of friends.

Seeing Fang Yue close to Su Chengyu and appearing to have been in conversation earlier, Lu Yunxi was taken aback. She didn’t want such an important person like Mr. Su to get close to the Fang family.

"Not really," Su Chengyu replied.

With that, Fang Yue was so angry she almost stormed off. She clenched her fists and snapped, "Mr. Su, you have a lot of forgetfulness for a nobleman, but you are my life-saving benefactor."

Fang Yue was furious. She could tolerate Su Chengyu’s cold treatment, but she did not want to lose face in front of Lu Yunxi.

"Just kidding," Su Chengyu said, not really intending to embarrass Fang Yue. Fang Yue finally relaxed with his response.

"Your joke, it wasn’t funny at all," Fang Yue fumed.

"I never would have imagined you were friends, Mr. Su, Miss Fang. Mr. Su, your VIP seat is ready, right this way," Lu Yunxi invited with a smile.

Chen Yuanheng was also taken aback; he hadn’t expected Su Chengyu to have a relationship with the Fang family.

"No wonder Mr. Su refused my VIP seat just now. It’s because Miss Lu had already prepared a VIP seat for you. I guess I was a little presumptuous," Fang Yue said, sounding a bit jealous, her heart sour.

"I wanted to look around the venue before it started, and I’m not necessarily going to sit in the VIP seat," Su Chengyu said.

He never planned to sit in the VIP seat anyway. He was not buying many items tonight, and they were not the finale auction items, so he was not worried about being watched.

"Then let me accompany you. I can give you an introduction to the basics of our auction venue," Lu Yunxi offered.

"Miss Lu is so busy, let’s not bother her. I can accompany Mr. Su," Fang Yue interjected.

Chen Yuanheng, standing by, found it awkward to intervene and could only watch Fang Yue and Lu Yunxi quietly jockey for position.

"Why don’t we let Mr. Su decide who should accompany him?" Lu Yunxi suggested.

Su Chengyu really wanted to say, "You both can accompany me, I don’t mind". Fang Yue, hearing this, felt nervous; Su Chengyu had been cold towards her from start to finish, and she had no confidence.

It was obvious that Su Chengyu’s attitude was closer to Lu Yunxi and Chen Yuanheng just now. This man definitely wouldn’t choose her.

Fang Yue wasn’t desperate for his attention, she just didn’t want to lose to Lu Yunxi.

Lu Yunxi suggested letting Su Chengyu choose who to accompany him as a way to gauge whether he was closer to the Fang family or to them.

These two women were certainly not easy to deal with!
