Tang Xiu himself was unaware of Gu Changmin’s plans as he was now observing the guests who kept coming in from the outside, many of whom were familiar faces. It made him secretly look forward to the following auction. In all likelihood, the items being auctioned in such high-profile auctions were very valuable and there may be a couple of things that might be useful to him.

“Quite a lot of people came to this auction.”

Although Ouyang Lulu also similarly saw a lot of her acquaintances, she didn’t get up to greet them as she similarly also didn’t want to talk with others.

“Well, there are also some business world celebrities from several nearby cities attending,” replied Tang Xiu smilingly. “Also, some from the Occult Sect have arrived, and they seem to have some abilities to boot.”

“Ehh? People from the Occult Sect are also here?” Ouyang Lulu was surprised. “Are there any magical weapons being auctioned here, by chance?”

“Who knows?” Tang Xiu lightly smiled. “If anything, those Occult Sect people are hiding in the midst of the urban crowd. They live the same life as ordinary people and only reveal their identity in some special circumstances. Such people generally have quite amazing abilities.”

“True that.” Ouyang Lulu nodded. “The Occult Sect people do have strange techniques. They also have their own means and channels if they want to seek wealth and could obtain quite a fortune with slight efforts. Further, some of them engaging in business also have some kind of win-win cooperation with all walks of life to make profits.”

“So you say, just like your Ouyang Family?” commented Tang Xiu.

“Yup. When the Ouyangs just started, we resorted to many means to not be exposed to light.” Ouyang Lulu smiled and said, “But after the continuous growth of the family, we slowly washed our hands and formally became a family of merchants. Still, most of the underground world of Jingmen Island is still controlled by the Ouyangs until now.”

Tang Xiu smiled and was about to reply when he suddenly spotted a familiar face in his line of sight. It was Ji Mu of Changxi City.

“What’s up?”

Ouyang Lulu noticed Tang Xiu’s unusual expression and immediately followed his gaze and asked at the same time.

“Well, just spotted a friend of mine from Changxi,” answered Tang Xiu.

“You’re on good terms with him?” asked Ouyang Lulu.

Tang Xiu thought about it and replied, “Not bad, I think! He has a good character and a temper much to my liking. This boy is also a cultivator, but I never thought that he’d be able to reach the mid-stage of Qi Refining in such a short time.”

“Hmph. Just mid-stage of Qi Refining.” Ouyang Lulu snorted and curled her lips. “I can kill him with the flick of my finger.”

Tang Xiu couldn’t help laughing and rebuked her. “He started cultivating later than you, Lulu. Besides, you’ve been aided by the cultivation resources I gave you, whereas he never had any. All he’s relying on is his own efforts, yet he’s been able to cultivate a bit of True Essence energy.”

Ouyang Lulu immediately nodded after hearing it and no longer looked at the man with a contemptuous attitude.

“Alright, I’ll call him to sit here with us.” Tang Xiu smiled and said.

Immediately after, his lips slightly moved and he transmitted his voice over.

At the auction venue, Ji Mu was respectfully accompanying a silver-haired old lady. Suddenly, a voice passed into his hears. He was stunned and stared blankly before turning and looking around. He then found a somewhat familiar face waving at him, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen the person, making him puzzled.

Who’s this guy?

Ji Mu thought about it. He then approached the silver-haired old lady and asked in a whisper, “Grandma, would you like to find the seat first? I’m going to see someone.”

The silver-haired old lay looked gentle and kind. She smilingly nodded and replied, “You youngsters have your own circle, so you don’t need to keep me accompany. Also, I’m going back to the North after the auction today.”

Ji Mu was shocked and he asked with a bit of reluctance, “Can’t you stay for some more time in Changxi, Grandma? I’ve benefitted a lot by following and learning from you these days, especially in my knowledge about cultivation. I feel I haven’t taken care of you well enough all this while.”

The old lady smilingly replied, “All kinds of meetings have their own farewell, Sonny. I haven’t seen your grandma for more than a decade, and I never thought we’d have been separated just like that of man and Heaven already. Besides, I’ve been staying in Changxi for some time, so it’s time for me to return to the North, else those bunches of boys at home will definitely create a ruckus.”

Ji Mo helplessly nodded and whispered, “Then I’m going to go greet my friends first, Grandma. I’ll be back to you later.”

“Off you go, then!” the old lady slowly nodded and replied.

Ji Mu slightly bowed and turned to walk towards Tang Xiu’s direction. Although he really wanted this formidable grandma cultivator to stay, he could only bear his own reluctance to bid farewell since she insisted on leaving. However, that voice just now was very strange. It just directly entered his ear instead of calling out to him normally, which made him secretly startled and scared.

And yet, he really didn’t know who that familiar person was, neither could he remember where he had seen him!
