1903: Cooperation 4

Cooperation 4

As they made their way back to the hostel from Haitian Auction House, they maintained a calm demeanor despite their inner excitement.2

Upon reaching the hostel, Sword One couldn't contain her happiness and exclaimed, "Elder Miss, everything is going remarkably well!"

Gu Chaoyan remained silent, listening to Sword One's enthusiasm.

"I had expected us, who possess no magical powers, to face numerous obstacles in a place like Haitian Market. Yet, we not only struck a deal with Haitian Auction House, but Lingyun and I also obtained something extraordinary!" Sword One's excitement was palpable. Besides the successful partnership, she was thrilled about obtaining the Dark Iron, a valuable enchanted armament.

Lingyun, who had previously visited Haitian Market and was familiar with its strict rules and impartiality, expressed surprise. She had perceived Haitian as an immense and formidable place while considering herself relatively insignificant. However, being in the company of Elder Miss seemed to simplify matters significantly.

This realization evoked a sense of sentimentality within Lingyun.

Meanwhile, Zhou Huaijin quietly massaged Gu Chaoyan's hands, aware of the effort she had put into crafting the pills.

Gu Chaoyan shared their contentment.

Indeed, a smooth collaboration with Haitian Auction House was undoubtedly a positive development.

However…

Underneath her gladness, Gu Chaoyan couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

The fact that Haitian Auction House had become more flexible and accommodating was a cause for concern. The shift in their attitude was not necessarily a positive development.

In the past few days, Gu Chaoyan had noticed a sense of panic among the auctioneers and staff members of Haitian Auction House. The opening of the enchantment door and the ensuing chaos had undoubtedly caused this unrest. It was clear that even a place like Haitian was concerned about their safety in the midst of the turmoil. If even Haitian was apprehensive, then the challenges ahead would undoubtedly become more difficult.

Feeling a mixture of relief and apprehension, Gu Chaoyan wondered what the future held in store.

The whereabouts of the Golden Rolls remained unknown, leaving her uncertain about the subsequent events that would unfold. Gu Chaoyan let out a sigh as she contemplated the situation.

Withdrawing her hands from Zhou Huaijin's grasp, she said, "You've worked hard these past two days. Take a good rest. Tomorrow, take them to the auction house, and I will continue making pills at the hostel."

Zhou Huaijin nodded, expressing his agreement with her arrangement to provide her with reassurance.

Gu Chaoyan smiled gratefully, appreciating his understanding.

Left undisturbed, Gu Chaoyan's first course of action was to hurry into the spatial realm. Apart from her urgency to craft pills, there was another reason - she had been unable to locate Huang Fu and had no idea about his whereabouts or activities. His absence made her anxious, and she hoped to find him to ease her concerns. Additionally, she wanted to inquire about the item he had mentioned shooting and its purpose, as she remained in the dark about its significance.

Once inside the spatial realm, Gu Chaoyan searched for Huang Fu but was unable to locate him.

This was highly unusual, as Huang Fu had never been absent for such an extended period before.
