After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

"Forget it, Young Master Du. This is Wanbaoge after all. If we make a move here, it might cause some trouble."

Just as one of the youths was about to make a move, his companion quickly spoke up to stop him.

Upon hearing this, the young man pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

As the other party said, this is, after all, Wanbaoge.

Even if he is from one of the four great families, he probably won't fare well if he makes a move here.

But he couldn't swallow his anger if he gave up now.

Looking in Qin Chuan's direction, the young man sneered, "A cowardly coward like him can only sit in the cheapest public seat, right?"

As he spoke, he led the few people around him and quickly passed Qin Chuan, arriving at the entrance of the auction house.

"Welcome, Young Master Du Heng! The VIP room number 'Earth' has been prepared for you!"

The moment the young man arrived, before the guards could even speak, a waiter from behind greeted him warmly.

Clearly, Du Heng is a regular customer of Wanbaoge.

"Hmm!" Du Heng nodded, but did not leave with the waiter.

Instead, he stayed where he was, his eyes fixed on Qin Chuan not far away, looking like he was watching a good show.

The commotion here also attracted the attention of passersby.

Upon learning that the young man was the young master of the Du family, the man in the cloak broke out in a cold sweat.

Various kinds of gazes followed, some sympathetic, some mocking, and some gloating.

In short, no one was optimistic about Qin Chuan.

After all, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake!

"This is a great opportunity to show off..."

The waiter glanced between Du Heng and Qin Chuan, and then suddenly had another idea.

Immediately, he walked up to Qin Chuan with an arrogant air and said coldly, "The public area of ​​the auction is quite crowded today, so you'll probably have to wait at the entrance for a while."

These words immediately drew a burst of laughter from the audience.

Everyone knew in their hearts that this was a blatant humiliation.

Even Wanbaoge is on the Du family's side, so it seems this person can only slink to the sidelines.

The waiter heard the laughter around him and saw Du Heng's approving gaze from behind.

He knew that he had now made contact with the Du family, and that he was destined for great success in the future!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on his face.

"Oh?"

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Aren't you even going to ask me where I'm sitting?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter curled his lip in disdain and sneered, "What do you want to ask? Is it even necessary?"

In his view, the person in front of him was just putting on a brave face; he was a paper tiger that would break at the slightest touch.

"idiot!"

Qin Chuan shook his head, ignoring the snobbish person, and walked directly to the guard.

Seeing that Qin Chuan dared to ignore him, the waiter's face immediately turned extremely ugly, especially in front of so many people.

"You little brat, are you...?"

The waiter turned his head with a cold expression, just about to speak.

Suddenly, his pupils dilated, and he stared in shock at the object in Qin Chuan's hand.

"The top-tier private room!"

Upon seeing the token Qin Chuan produced, the two guards were shocked and immediately spoke respectfully.

Just then, Elder Wei from yesterday also came out, and after seeing the token in Qin Chuan's hand...

He immediately realized that the other person was Qin Chuan from yesterday.

Old Master Wei stepped forward and said with a smile, "Young master, you've arrived. Please come in quickly, the auction is about to begin."

Qin Chuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, Elder Wei!"

Without even glancing at the waiter, he walked inside, led by another waiter.

"Holy crap, who is this guy? How did he get into the top-tier private room!"

"Who can disagree? And even Elder Wei's respectful attitude shows he's no ordinary person!"

"Hehe... It's just that the Du family only entered the Earth-level VIP room, yet they look down on the people in the Heaven-level VIP room. It's really quite funny!"

"..."

After Qin Chuan went inside, the onlookers immediately started discussing it.

Hearing the voice in his ear, Du Heng clenched his fists, his face looking extremely ugly.

He never imagined that the person he randomly met would be the one who could enter the top-tier private room.

"what happened?"

Looking at the commotion around him, Old Master Wei frowned and turned to look at the guards beside him.

"Elder Wei, it's like this..."

Immediately, the guard recounted what had just happened in detail.

After hearing the whole story, Old Master Wei's face gradually darkened.

He looked at the pale-faced waiter not far away and said coldly, "You get over here!"

The waiter's expression changed drastically, and he staggered over.

Old Wei asked expressionlessly, "Who recruited you?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter turned pale and stammered for a long time, unable to utter a word.

Before he could answer, one of the guards said loudly, "Reporting to Elder Wei, he is Steward Wang's nephew, and he usually uses this status to swagger around."

"It's over!"

Upon hearing this, the waiter's face turned deathly pale.

Old Master Wei frowned and said calmly, "Go and summon Steward Wang!"

"Yes!"

The guard clasped his hands in acceptance and quickly turned to leave.

A moment later, when he returned, he was followed by a fat, middle-aged man.

"Old Wei... you were looking for me?"

The middle-aged man swallowed hard, his face full of doubt.

Old Master Wei remained calm, pointed to the attendant beside him, and asked, "Steward Wang, was this person someone you recommended to Wanbaoge?"

Upon hearing this, Deacon Wang looked in the direction Elder Wei was pointing and saw his nephew standing to the side.

Deacon Wang immediately wiped the sweat from his forehead, clasped his hands in a fist and asked, "May I ask, Elder Wei, what has happened?"

"Just say yes or no!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged fat man trembled and said in a trembling voice, "Yes..."

"That's good!"

Old Master Wei gave a cold laugh and waved his hand, saying, "Wanbao Pavilion has no need for sycophants. You and your nephew get out of here!"

These words struck Deacon Wang like a bolt from the blue!

His face changed drastically, and he hurriedly begged for mercy, "Elder Wei...please have mercy!"

Ignoring Steward Wang's pleas for mercy, Elder Wei turned to the guard from before and said, "From now on, Steward Wang's position is yours!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the guard's face lit up with elation. He knew that he had to thank the man in black robes earlier for all of this.

After giving his instructions, Old Master Wei snorted coldly and turned to leave.

.........

After Qin Chuan entered the auction house, he was led into a private box by a maid.

"This truly lives up to its reputation as the top-tier private room!"

As soon as he entered, Qin Chuan was stunned by the sight before him.

The furnishings here can only be described as luxurious, and the entire space is also enormous.

It can easily accommodate twenty or thirty people at the same time.

Moreover, from here, the view of the scene below is unobstructed.

"Young master, the sect leader has already given instructions that if there is anything you need, you can ask me at any time!"

The maid who had led the way bowed and said.

"Okay." Qin Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you for me, Pavilion Master. You can go out now. I don't need anything right now."

"Yes!" The maid turned and left.

Just then, Qin Chuan looked down and saw a woman in palace attire walking onto the central stage, looking charming and alluring.

A moment later, the woman tapped her gavel and smiled sweetly, announcing, "The auction officially begins!" (Wishing everyone a happy Lantern Festival! Many thanks to all the brothers for urging me to update and for the recommendation votes; I've read every single one, and I'm deeply grateful!)
