  "Brother, if you want the Dan medicine, would you participate in the auction?" Ye Hailan rested her chin on her hands, curiously looking at the people downstairs, and glanced around, but didn't see anyone she knew.

  "It depends on whether the elixir is useful to me, not all top-grade elixirs are useful, like this twelfth-grade elixir, it must be priceless, if it's useless, wouldn't that be buying a stone for money?" Ye Haifan smiled wisely, his eyes gleaming with a hint of amusement, warmth and transparency shining through.

  Ye Hailan nodded in agreement, this was indeed true.

  Suddenly, she felt a scorching gaze, and Ye Haolan's heart skipped a beat. She followed the direction of the gaze and saw that on the opposite side of the VIP seat, there was a man wearing dark clothes and a silver mask.

  He looked very upright, the silver mask almost covered his entire face, with a black ring on his fingers, and no weapons were carried, nor was there a badge on his chest, it was unknown whether he was a fighter, a warrior or a swordsman.

  She only felt that the man had a very deep and cold aura, with a thick and powerful energy, and a king-like domineering air, which was both condensed and yet had a hint of cunning that kings shouldn't have. The atmosphere was extremely strong, she could feel the eyes under the mask were definitely icy and profound, as if one person's atmosphere surpassed everyone in the auction house, looking extremely dangerous, yet making her heart feel a little curious.

  Who is he?

  The VIP seat on the second floor had many people noticing his presence, and everyone was guessing his identity. With such a strong aura, he was obviously a powerful person...

  Strength is immeasurable.

  Why was he staring at her? She was slightly puzzled, but saw the man suddenly raise his wine glass and toast in her direction. She smiled coldly, with a hint of indifference, avoiding his gaze, pretending not to see him.

  Ye Haifan also saw it and said slowly: "Today, masters are as numerous as clouds, and the fish and dragons are mixed together. We'd better just watch quietly and not provoke trouble."

  "Got it, Third Brother." Ye Hailan replied obediently, she didn't want to cause any trouble at all, but the gaze from across the room was just too scorching and obvious, as if his purpose for coming to the auction house was her, rather than that Dan medicine that everyone wanted.

  She extremely dislikes such a gaze, making people feel uncomfortable all over, like a thorn in the back.

  Suddenly, a burst of excited shouts was heard, and a lovely girl had rushed to Ye Haolan's face, shouting her name in surprise. It turned out to be Ximen Xue, dressed in all pink, with a 17 or 18-year-old boy following beside him.

  The young man wore a blue shirt, with the emblem of a seventh-level fire magic user on his chest. His eyes were bright and beautiful, with a hint of femininity in his features. He had a slender build, but exuded a strong masculine aura, making it impossible to mistake him for a woman. Standing before you was a 100% man, with an overwhelming air of dominance and a hint of untamed wildness, like a gust of unbridled wind.

  The young master of the Ximen family, Ximen Moxuan.

  This man is very demonic.

  "Xiao Hailan, you're here too. Why didn't you call me? Luckily I ran into you. You're also interested in the Dan medicine?"

  "No, I came with my brother to see the excitement." Ye Haolan replied, she actually liked this innocent Miss Xi Men very much and sincerely wanted to befriend her.

  Ximen Moxuan and Ye Haifan knew each other, got along quite well, were similar in age, the four major families although openly vying with each other in secret, the young masters and misses of the families, actually all got along extremely well.

  Ximen Moxuan and Ye Haifan became sworn brothers after a life-and-death experience, and over the past two years, they have been inseparable, often traveling together to gain more experience. Their relationship is extremely close, and as it happens, Ximen's siblings also had a reserved seat here, so Ye's siblings are sitting with them at the same table.

  "Hello, Ye San Ge!" Ximen Xue smiled sweetly at Ye Haifan and curtsied elegantly, her face flushing with admiration. Ye Haibei secretly smiled to himself, knowing that Ye Haifan was a legendary figure in the Douqi Academy, the white knight of every girl's dreams. With his exceptional talent, impressive strength, tall and lean physique, handsome appearance, and calm demeanor, he had never heard of anyone criticizing Ye Haifan's character.

  Such a young man will indeed make all girls' hearts beat fast and be infatuated with him.

  Just like fans idolize their idols.

  She also paid her respects to Ximen Moxuan, who raised an eyebrow with a hint of teasing and inquiry. He nudged Ye Haifan with his elbow and laughed unrestrainedly, "So this is the Ninth Miss of your household, not quite as rumored."

  The rumored waste was actually a girl who looked sacred and noble, with an air of confidence between her eyebrows, and a sense of composure that was as refreshing as the snow-covered plum blossoms. Her dark and agile eyes sparkled with wisdom, and she had a rare and exquisite beauty that was hard to come by. How could such a girl be the waste rumored about? He already knew that Ye Haifan loved Ye Hailan dearly, and occasionally heard him mention that his sister was just a bit timid, but kind-hearted at the bottom of her heart.

  These words seem to be inconsistent with the Ye Haolan he saw, she is cold and arrogant, looking not like a kind person, and the proud expression between her eyebrows, where is there any hint of cowardice.

  Ye Haifan said calmly, "Rumors are not necessarily credible."

  Ximen Moxuan glanced at Ye Hailan, smiled and said nothing. Ximen Xue defended her friend, "Brother, I told you long ago that Hailan is intelligent and beautiful, with broad vision, she's very capable, not some useless person as rumored outside, it must be someone jealous of her who intentionally spread the rumors."

  "You're so protective of him, but you've never been like this with your own brother..." Ximen Moxuan looked at her puffed up face and couldn't help but feel a little amused. His eyes hid his affection for his sister as he quickly changed the subject to discuss the upcoming Dan medicine auction with Ye Haifan.

  "Mo Xuan, do you have any inside information about the Dan medicine auction this time?" Ye Haifan couldn't help but ask curiously. The owner of Huaxing Auction House was actually Xi Men Mo Xuan, a fact that very few people knew.

  Even Ximen Xue didn't know that this auction house was her brother's business, Ye Haifan had only heard it from someone who knew the inside story during a mission and asked when he got back, Ximen Moxuan smiled and admitted it.

  So this time he easily got his hands on an invitation from the auction house.

  Ximen Moyuan supported his chin with one hand, smiling as he looked at the auction stage downstairs. A hint of mockery flashed between his eyebrows, "The information we received from our auction house is roughly the same as yours. The seller seems to attach great importance to this auction and refuses to reveal any information until the last moment."
