438: In the Auction House 3

In the Auction House 3

Inside the carriage.1

Lu Yan seldom rode in the same carriage with others, so he started getting inexplicably nervous. When he got too jumpy, his brain began to turn to mush. He pinched himself on the thigh forcefully, trying to suppress the urge to kick the two people out of the carriage. He kept telling himself that this plain-looking person was Qi Qingyao in disguise.

Then he opened his mouth and said, "There'll be a lot of people at the auction house tonight."

"Such as?" Qi Qingyao asked him casually.

As soon as he heard her voice, Lu Yan's tension was relieved a little. He felt more reassured that Qi Qingyao was the person under the disguise, and he felt somewhat calmer. He said, "People from Eastern Ling will probably be there as well."

"What about Shang Li?" Qi Qingyao asked slowly.

'A grand master, eh?' Lu Yan thought for a while, then said, "It stands to reason that he will not be there, but in light of recent events, who can tell for sure?"

Qi Qingyao looked at him. "Try to keep a low profile tonight."

Lu Yan was silent for a moment, then he said, "My existence is bound to be high profile wherever I go."

"..."

What was this luxurious speech?

'Isn't he just the son of the richest man in Northern Liang!!'

Lu Yan noticed that Qi Qingyao's expression seemed to be disdainful, and said very seriously, "I'm not joking with you. As soon as I show up, many people will know that my target is that Pill of Omnipotence."

Qi Qingyao asked, "Are there no other valuable things in the auction house tonight?"

"There are." Lu Yan was slightly embarrassed when he said that. "Those people all know that the Lu family likes to buy things at the first opportunity and then sell them at high prices."

"Scalper!!" What an opportunistic businessman!

Lu Yan did not refute the comment. He just smiled slightly.

Si Jin listened to their conversation on the side and thought to himself, 'Sister surely wouldn't fancy such a superficial person!'

When they arrived at the Yueya Auction House, Qi Qingyao and Si Jin acted as servants and followed Lu Yan by his side. Meanwhile, Dong Jing, who was in charge of security, followed behind.

Qi Qingyao was starting to think that this place should have some membership system in place and that they would need some kind of pass to get in.

Indeed, a few guests in front of them did flash a waist card in their hands.

It was Lu Yan's turn to move forward. 

The guard at the entrance bowed slightly and spoke in a tone of respect.

"Master Lu, please enter."

Lu Yan walked in grandly.

Qi Qingyao followed him every step of the way. After they entered, she could not help but ask Lu Yan, "I saw that others needed a special pass. Why don't you?"

Lu Yan did not answer, but Dong Jing did. "The flag on that carriage is the only invitation letter he needs."

The flag of the Lu family.

Qi Qingyao could not help but feel that she had lost to the might of the billionaires once again.

The venue of the Yueya Auction House was shaped like a crescent. There were very few seats in the venue, only about a hundred. Qi Qingyao thought it was quite small, but Lu Yan noticed her expression and explained that it was big enough. It could include almost all of the rich people in more than half of Qingzhou City. Some of the officers who had no money had no right to step in here anyway.

Lu Yan picked a spot on the side and casually sat down. He even gestured to Qi Qingyao and said, "Sit down."

Qi Qingyao was about to sit down, but she glanced at the aristocrats nearby who were dressed sharply in suits and gowns. She could not help but whisper, "We now have the status of servants. Can we really sit down?"

Lu Yan said, "You're a servant of the Lu family, not a servant of some commoner."

Qi Qingyao, "..." 

Are the servants of the Lu family superior to others as well?

Can this guy be any more luxurious?
