Chapter 454: Chapter 0455: So Fast?

Huo Tianqian was somewhat puzzled as he asked; to him, it had always seemed that the kind of Martial Arts Secret Techniques passed down were never shared outside the family, let alone put up in an auction for sale.

Mr. Chu sat there lost in thought - indeed, this was not impossible.

Just like himself, he had also gifted parts of his secret manual to others before, of course, not just casually thrown into an auction house; he had been selective about it.

Therefore, he always felt that there must be some unspoken hardships behind the owner of this secret technique.

Mr. Chu watched Zhao Wuji, observing the deeply reflective look on his face, and knew just how deep their feelings must have been, and how deeply hurt they were.

For a time, both men fell into silence, with neither answering Huo Tianqian’s question.

Huo Tianqian scratched his head in confusion. "Uh... did I say something wrong again?"

Mr. Chu gave him a glare. Huo Tianqian’s heart skipped a beat, and he sat back down without saying anything more.

Mr. Chu looked at Zhao Wuji and asked, puzzled, "Could there be some unspoken hardships for her?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji froze and even a look of self-reproach appeared on his face; this was something he indeed had not considered.

Mr. Chu, seeing the expression on his face, felt somewhat speechless; so Zhao Wuji was still a passionately emotional type. After all these years, he still had that woman in his heart.

Zhao Wuji couldn’t contain himself any longer. He wanted to get up and go backstage to find her, to ask her clearly if there truly were any unspoken hardships.

He knew how important a secret manual was to an Ancient Martial Artist, and he also knew how she had studied restlessly for a secret technique of Ancient Martial Arts, such persistence... If not for some dire difficulties, how could she so readily give it away?

Mr. Chu raised his hand and put it on Zhao Wuji’s shoulder. Since he had lost all his martial arts abilities, there was no strength behind his hand on Zhao Wuji’s shoulder.

But Zhao Wuji remained stationary, pressed in place by the hand. He knew he must not act rashly. He was no longer the impetuous young man of twenty years old; he now had a family and a certain status, and she, too, had her own happy family and even started her own company, he heard.

Zhao Wuji’s heart tightened inexplicably as he subconsciously thought about his mother-in-law’s enterprise in Dang City, which, due to his involvement, had grown significantly, even becoming the richest in Dang City.

Could it be because her mother-in-law’s family exerted some pressure on her due to him?

In just a few seconds, Zhao Wuji’s mind had raced through countless possibilities.

But these were all just his speculations. Whenever Zhao Wuji was confronted with her, he would become flustered and unsettled.

Seeing how things stood, Mr. Chu could only silently shake his head. Ah, emotions, truly a headache-inducing matter!

There were a total of ten items to be auctioned at this auction, and now they had only reached the fourth item. HIA needed to auction half of the products before the secret technique could be auctioned.

So Mr. Chu decided to get up and move around a little; otherwise, if he continued to sit there, he was nearly falling asleep.

Just as Mr. Chu was about to stand up, he suddenly heard a voice from outside.

"Stop! You cannot go in!"

It was the voice of the security guard.

He stood at the door, blocking the man who had walked out of Hua Liuyue’s room.

The man had first walked around outside before slowly striding over. He had noticed the dense arrangements of the security personnel here beforehand, but he thought it was just meant to intimidate troublemakers; he didn’t expect that they were not even allowed to go around normally.

The man coughed lightly and pointed inside, saying, "I know someone in there."

The security guard stood his ground, unmovable, using his body to block the entrance, refusing entry.

The man was somewhat speechless, "I really know the people inside, is the person inside called Mr. Chu, right?"

The security guard gave him a cold look without a word. How would he know the names of the people inside? His orders were not to let anyone close to this room.

Seeing the security guard unfazed, the man became speechless again. Are today’s security personnel so dedicated?

The two were at a stalemate when the room door was pushed open.

Mr. Chu stretched and asked with curiosity, "What’s going on?"

Although the man had heard Mr. Chu’s name from Hua Liuyue, he had never seen what Mr. Chu looked like. So when Mr. Chu came out, the man calmly looked at him, "I’m looking for Mr. Chu."

Mr. Chu’s gaze fell on the man with puzzlement. The man had a mixed-race look, with very angular features, especially the brow bone - very prominent, making his eyes appear especially deep.

Mr. Chu sized him up with puzzlement and then asked, "Who are you? What do you want with him?"

Upon hearing this, the man coughed lightly, then said, "Actually, it’s nothing serious. I just heard that Mr. Chu came here and wanted to meet him. I’m a fan of his."

"..." Mr. Chu was dumbstruck - since when did he become so popular to have fans?

"You... are his fan?" Mr. Chu asked uncertainly; now that he had no martial arts, he had to be very cautious with anyone.

The man nodded and introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Ge Fan. Can you let me in to meet my idol?"

After Ge Fan finished speaking, he extended his hand forward, wanting to shake hands with Mr. Chu, but Mr. Chu looked at him with wary eyes. Just from what he said, it was clear, this guy definitely had an agenda!

"I don’t know you, so no!"

After speaking, Mr. Chu turned around and closed the room door.

Ge Fan stood there dumbfounded, somewhat unclear about what had just been said. He asked the security guard uncertainly, "What did he just say? He said he doesn’t know me?"

He doesn’t know me... He doesn’t know me... That was Mr. Chu!

Ge Fan’s pupils widened instantly; that young man was only in his twenties, right? How could such a young man make Hua Liuyue be so cautious? What background does this young man have?

It’s a pity he couldn’t go in now. If he could, he really wanted to inquire more about Mr. Chu’s story.

The security, looking at him as if he were an idiot, still said he was a fan, but when the person was right here, he didn’t even recognize him, which clearly was not good!

"Move along quickly, this isn’t the place for you to be."

After Mr. Chu returned to the room and shut the door, he remembered that he had intended to go to the restroom.

But the person outside hadn’t left yet. Whether or not he was a fan, Mr. Chu didn’t want to deal with him.

Because that person gave him a very bad feeling.

It wasn’t a feeling of danger; he wasn’t afraid or intimidated by anything. But he always felt a certain aversion towards that person for some inexplicable reason.

Seeing Mr. Chu come back out, then re-enter the room within a minute, Huo Tianqian asked with puzzlement, "Mr. Chu, that was quick, wasn’t it?"

Being that quick using the restroom might indicate a prostate problem.
