Wan'er whispered, "I didn't expect that my benefactor would come back from the auction. If I had known, I would have arranged a private room on the second floor for everyone. I'm really sorry for not entertaining you well enough."

"Wan'er, you're welcome. The auction you held in cooperation with the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce was very successful!"

“Yes, although the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce is a new chamber of commerce, it is also very mysterious. I sent people to investigate, and I only know that they are registered in Xinhe City, and the registrant is a man named Pang Long. So far, I have not been able to find out the identity of this mysterious person behind the scenes.

They registered just over a month ago and moved directly to Huanglong City to start drastic development. Their apparent person in charge is Mr. Gu, so there is a mysterious force behind the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce that we don’t know about.”

How could she know that Pang Long's real body was right in front of her. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask. If it weren't for Wan'er's intelligence, she would definitely be suspicious when she saw their half-smiles.

"So the owner of today's elixir is named Gu! He is a very courageous man. I believe that your future cooperation will bring faster development to the economy of Huanglong City!"

"Alas... their style is completely beyond our control. It remains to be seen whether they are dancing with the wolf or courting the tiger."

"Miss Wan'er, there's no need to worry about the future. No matter what, as long as it can help Huanglong City, it will be helpful to your City Lord's Mansion!"

Wan'er seemed to understand something. "That's right. Wan'er is overthinking. I have always analyzed it from a business perspective."

"I wonder what Miss Wan'er wants to talk to us about?"

"Oh, it's like this. My twentieth birthday is coming up in three days. I wonder if you guys would be so kind as to come and attend it?"

Ian thought about it. Wan'er was very sincere to him. She didn't hide anything. Besides, she would need help from her soon. He could only say:

"Of course, we will definitely be there for our friend's birthday."

Ever since he had some unpleasantness with his father Situ Gaofei last time, Wan'er thought he would not agree. Unexpectedly, he did not take it to heart and still treated her as a friend. How could she not be happy?

"That's great. Wan'er will be looking forward to your visit then." As she said this, she took out five exquisite invitations.

After receiving the invitation, Ian said, "Wan'er, I need your help with something as well."

"No problem, as long as I can do it."

"Well, I want to know who entrusted you to auction the Donghai Lingzhu?"

Wan'er was silent.

Pearl wanted to say something but Ian signaled her to stay calm and said he would take care of everything.

"Miss Wan'er, to be honest, the Lan family of the East China Sea and I have a connection. The East China Sea Spirit Pearl suddenly appeared here. It is very likely that the Lan family encountered something. I cannot ignore it.

I know the rules of the auction, you are not allowed to disclose anyone's information privately, and we won't make it difficult for you."

Wan'er looked apologetic, "I'm really sorry, benefactor. For us, reputation is more important than life, so we can't reveal any information about the owner.

Hong'er, you will be responsible for handing over the auction procedures to that customer later!"

"Yes, miss!"

Ian and the other four also stood up and said goodbye.

Just after leaving the Huanglong Restaurant, the few of them came to a remote place. Ian used his mental power to make the five of them invisible, and then he immediately returned to the second floor of the restaurant and followed Hong'er to the nearby Huanglong Inn.

The inn is divided into five floors. The first floor is the lobby, which is used to receive guests who come for meals and drinks. The second floor is the Huang room, the third floor is the more advanced Xuan room, the fourth floor is the Di room, and the first floor is the top-level Tian room.

Following Hong'er to the door of Room 9, before she could knock on the door, the door of Room 9 opened automatically, and a young man's voice came from inside, "Come in!"

Ian was shocked. The person inside was not simple. Pei'er said: "Baoshu told me that there is an invisible formation outside the room. When Hong'er walked over, she touched the formation and the people inside knew about it."

Ian nodded, "So he's a formation master, is there any way to get in without alerting him?"

Pei'er shook her head. "Although the treasure rat can break this formation, it can't prevent the other party from noticing it."

Ian didn't dare to use his mental power to detect at will.

"In order not to accidentally hurt Hong'er, let's wait until she comes out before we take action."

The four of them nodded, and soon, Hong'er came out.

After she walked away, Ian suddenly stood up and rushed into Room No. 9. He saw the person inside activated a teleportation array under his feet under the light. Before he could react, Ian quickly imprinted a mental mark on the other person.

The light flashed and the other party disappeared. This was completed in just a moment. The other people just arrived and said, "Brother Ian, where is he?"

"Ran!"

"Run away? Is he that powerful? He couldn't even stop Brother Ian."

He shook his head, "His strength is only about level five, but he is good at formations. He just activated the teleportation formation and left."

He squatted down and observed the location where the teleportation array was originally activated.

"The art of formations was lost tens of thousands of years ago. The teleportation formations on the continent today are just one of its applications, and it's also a relic from the past. How could this person understand the art of formations?" The fat man found it very strange.

Xinghun shook his head and said:

"The way of formations has not been completely lost. I heard that the Cang Qiong Academy has this inheritance. Although it is not as profound as that of ten thousand years ago, it is still there."

After hearing what he said, the others asked at the same time: "Could this person be from Cang Qiong Academy?"

Xinghun spread his hands, "We don't know either! But the possibility is very high."

"Then what should we do?"

“Well, the Cangqiong Academy is too mysterious, and it will take a while to find them. However, I left a spiritual mark on him. Within three months, as long as he is a hundred meters away from me, I will be able to sense it.

Let's split up. Fatty and Xinghun, you go back home with Pei'er to find out what's going on, and keep in touch at any time. Nana and I will see if we can meet this person again in Huanglong City."

"Okay, no problem. Without further ado, shall we set off?"

"Go ahead. Contact me if you have anything to deal with. Return to the team as soon as you are done."

……

3 kilometers east of the city, a figure appeared out of nowhere, cursing:

"Who wants to attack me? This is strange. I've only been here for a short time and I don't have any grudges with anyone! Could it be Miss Wan'er?

Bah, bah, bah, impossible. If he wants to attack me, there is no need to go through so much trouble. Why not just send an expert? Why bother asking Hong'er to come here?

Could it be the guy who took the photo of the East China Sea Spirit Pearl?

Oh...it's my fault that I ran too fast and didn't see clearly.

Ah, it’s better to run fast, otherwise you will be caught…”

The man muttered to himself for a while, then patted his clothes and turned back to Huanglong City.

Ian and Selina went straight back to the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce to wait for Gu Ness to come back!
