"Could it be that that person practices the same martial arts as me?"

After that person left, Ning Qian couldn't help but have this idea in his mind.

But no one would give him this answer.

Unless he can obtain the memory of the creator of the innate five elements refining method.

Ning Qian suppressed this thought and looked towards the exit again.

The appearance of the young man just now represents various underground forces in Hongdu Prefecture, and he seems to be very interested in an auction.

But, what is it that makes these people pay so much attention to it?

After all, Hongdu Mansion is just a small place, not as prosperous as the capital.

What we have here must be available in Beijing, and there will be even better things.

If it were just some specialties from the Lancang River, it would be impossible to attract the attention of these people!

The items in the catalog flashed through Ning Qian's mind.

But I can’t imagine what brought these people here in person.

While Ning Qian was thinking about this, another young man wearing a long gown appeared at the door.

This man was followed by a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard. The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked towards the box.

Listening to the white-faced man's duck-like voice, Ning Qian frowned, thinking of the eunuchs in the movies and TV series he had watched in his previous life.

Could this be someone from the palace?

He shook his head, and for a moment, he felt like he wanted to leave here.

The situation here is getting more and more complicated!

Soon, Nan Shuyuan showed up with people.

The two parties went in tandem and unexpectedly met at the stairs.

"I've met Miss Nan Er."

When the two saw Nan Shuyuan, their expressions suddenly changed. In the end, they still stood respectfully and saluted Nan Shuyuan.

"Xuan Wushuang, Eunuch Hong?" Nan Shuyuan saw the two of them and stood there with a smile on her lips, "You two are the right-hand men of the eldest prince. I didn't expect you to come in person?"

"Didn't Second Miss Nan also come in person?" Xuan Wushuang smiled and said.

"Do you think my purpose is the same as yours?" Nan Shuyuan sneered.

"Otherwise?" Xuan Wushuang said easily, as if he had a pearl of wisdom in hand.

Nan Shuyuan stopped talking and climbed up the stairs expressionlessly.

Her purpose is indeed the same as Xuan Wushuang.

But she knew very well that the royal family held more information.

Ning Qian's seat was not far from the stairs, and he could clearly hear the exchange between the two sides.

He understood clearly that these people came here for the same purpose.

"I hope this matter will not affect me."

Ning Qian secretly thought in his heart.

The reason why he participated in this auction was just for the map that matched the two maps in his hand.

Many distinguished guests also appeared here later, but Ning Qian was no longer in the mood to think about this matter.

Because an acquaintance has already sat down next to him——

Yang Wuting.

"Why is he everywhere?"

"This brother?"

Ning Qian turned his head, not intending to let Yang Wuting discover him, but Yang Wuting discovered him immediately.

He didn't expect that Yang Wuting would discover him after just a brief encounter at the city gate.

"Who are you?"

Ning Qian made up his mind and pretended not to recognize him.

"My lord, Yang Wuting, did we meet at the city gate before? Have you forgotten?"

"It turns out to be Brother Yang." Ning Qian reluctantly raised his hand.

"Brother, I don't know your name yet?" Yang Wuting asked curiously.

"Chen Xuanzhen." Ning Qian gave a pseudonym.

"Brother Chen!" Yang Wuting raised his hand to Ning Qian.

After the two parties exchanged names, the auction finally began.

"Hello, dear guests, I am Wan Youcai. I am the director of the Wanbao Pavilion branch. Today's auction will be hosted by me."

Wan Youcai walked onto the stage with a smile on his face and said this.

"Why is Manager Wan personally hosting the auction today?" Yang Wuting looked confused.

"What? Isn't he usually the host?" Ning Qian asked curiously.

"Wanbao Pavilion has a dedicated auctioneer. No matter what, there is no need for a branch supervisor."

"This is a bit strange."

Although he said this, Ning Qian already knew in his heart that the person sitting in the box today was not a simple person.

I am afraid that Wan Weancai was afraid that other auctioneers would not be able to cover up today's scene, so he went on stage personally.

However, he would definitely not tell Yang Wuting such news.

The two of them chatted about each other, but most of the time, Yang Wuting was talking and Ning Qian was listening.

He found that Yang Wuting seemed to know the various forces in Hongdu Prefecture very well. He had all kinds of gossip information at his fingertips, and he seemed to be very well-informed.

"I'm afraid this person is not simple either."

Ning Qian frowned. He knew the art of mechanism and knew so much information. Yang Wuting was really not as simple as he seemed.

This thought flashed through his mind.

Although he didn't know where Yang Wuting came from, Ning Qian did know a lot about the major families in Hongdu Prefecture from his words.

Although this kind of news is not secret, it saves Ning Qian a lot of time.

So that he will not offend a certain force because of some inexplicable things.

As the lots passed one by one, the content of the auction finally came to the map that Ning Qian was very curious about.

"This auction is for a mysterious map that our Wanbao Pavilion accidentally obtained."

Wearing gloves, Wan Weancai took out the things and showed them to everyone.

Ning Qian looked at the map carefully. Judging from the direction of the gap, he was very sure that these were parts of the two incomplete maps in his hand.

He was shocked, and when he was about to bid, Wan Youcai suddenly said: "According to the appraisal by our appraiser from Wanbao Pavilion, the low price given is 10,000 taels of silver!"

Ten thousand taels?

Ning Qian's pupils shrank and his heart was shocked!

This map is just incomplete. In any case, it’s not worth ten thousand taels of silver, right?

What exactly does Wanbao Pavilion plan to do?

At the auction, there were many people who had the same idea as Ning Qian, and they also expressed their dissatisfaction.

"Even if this map is made of gold, it's not worth ten thousand taels of silver, right?"

"Director Wan, aren't you crazy about money?"

"This eating look is a bit ugly!"

"It's probably going to go unsold."

Listening to the voices of the customers present, Wan Youcai showed a smile on his face and said: "Please be patient, the value of this thing is not something we at Wanbao Pavilion can determine. If you think it's not worth it, you don't have to buy it!"

Besides, what if someone lacks this map? Isn’t this map a priceless treasure?"

"Ten thousand taels is not expensive!"

Listening to Wan Youcai's explanation, everyone curled their lips, but they did not continue to express their dissatisfaction.

After all, if you don’t plan to buy it, the price of Wanbao Pavilion has nothing to do with you.

For a moment, the scene turned cold.

Ning Qian also frowned, wondering whether he should buy this map.
