Qi Jinyang breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while and then said: "By the way, what do you think of Yunxiao's friend, Tang Xuantian?"
Tang Xuantian! The old man frowned and his face was a little solemn: "I can't see through this person, and... I encountered obstacles when I probed this person's cultivation before."
"It's possible that he has discovered me a long time ago."
Qi Jinyang was stunned.
Elder Chen is worshiped by the Qi family in the Yuanying realm. He has a strong cultivation level. Even in the north, he is a Nascent Soul realm with extremely strong combat power.
How could a junior find out?
"Ignore Tang Xuantian for now. After I investigate clearly, I will continue to consider cooperation with him."
Qi Jinyang looked at the time and put down his teacup: "Tonight's auction is about to begin, and it will definitely be very lively. The five-hundred-year-old Nine-Turn Resurrection Leaf will probably bring many forces to the surface."
"Let's go, let's go see the fun too."
...Night falls.
This is a very ordinary night, but for people in the medicinal materials industry, tonight is the most important event in Shanyu and even the entire Chinese medicinal materials industry in recent decades.
Marriott Auction.
From around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, traffic police began to control traffic, and all streets within a kilometer radius of the Marriott auction house were blocked.
At the same time, there are many armed police officers patrolling the streets in armored vehicles.
7pm.
As the night grew darker, this majestic building was brightly lit, with dozens of huge spotlights shining down, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.
Luxury cars drove in one after another.
Beauties with beautiful cars, shopping mall tycoons, wealthy aristocrats, and high-class dignitaries all flocked here.
At the same time, hundreds of elite men wearing warrior robes of different colors stood around the venue, closely guarding the main roads.
To enter the auction, you must pass at least four security checks.
These elite men are the bodyguards of the local hidden families in Shanyu, and they exude a fierce aura.
...around seven-thirty.
Tang Ming strolled to the venue, stood at the door and made a phone call.
soon.
Meng Jiayi, wearing a plain dress, rushed over with four familiar guards.
When we parted yesterday, I couldn't stand Meng Jiayi's teasing and was too lazy to verify the so-called 'auction qualification', so I agreed to go with Meng Jiayi.
"Tang Xuantian."
Meng Jiayi waved her little hands.
She put on a little makeup tonight, and her delicate and pretty face was even more charming. Her smooth, white and tender skin was like mutton-fat jade. When she smiled, two dimples appeared on her face, which were bright and attractive.
Especially the plain belt around the waist, which outlines a slim waist and a graceful figure.
"How about it?"
"I put on makeup today. I usually don't bother to put on these cosmetics. It's such a waste of time."
Meng Jiayi smiled as brightly as a flower, gently pulled up the corner of her skirt and turned it around, like a fairy descending to earth.
"It's pretty."
Tang Ming smiled and nodded: "Why aren't you wearing your Qiang ethnic costume today?"
"Oh, that costume is too heavy and doesn't look pretty."
Meng Jiayi was a little shy.
She actually wanted to show off her figure in front of Tang Ming. The original palace dress was too conservative... "Let's go, I want to use your light to take me to the auction today."
Tang Ming said with a smile.
"It's easy to say, with me here, you can go anywhere in Shanyu City."
Meng Jiayi spoke boldly and came to Tang Ming to walk with him.
Arriving at the Safety Supervision Office, a cold-blooded young man was about to conduct an inspection. When he looked up and saw Meng Jiayi, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
"Miss..." The cold young man was extremely shocked and just about to salute - "Shh, keep your voice down."
Meng Jiayi whispered quietly: "I'm bringing a friend in, so don't make a fuss and be careful to keep my identity confidential."
"Okay, okay."
The young man was sweating profusely and quickly took a half step back, bowing and making an invitation gesture.
The smile returned to Meng Jiayi's face, and she led Tang Ming straight in.
The surrounding security personnel were all shocked. This was the first time they saw that the eldest lady had friends of the opposite sex.
At this time.
Behind him, a wealthy businessman with a big belly and a Swiss gold watch also came over for security check, followed by four strong bodyguards.
"stop."
The cold young man took a step forward and blocked the way: "The bodyguards will be waiting outside, and all weapons will be turned in."
"Why don't those people in front need security checks?"
The wealthy businessman was a little dissatisfied: "I see that couple also brought their bodyguards in. If they can do it, why can't I?"
"Are you questioning the Meng family's rules?"
The cold young man frowned, and a bloodthirsty aura filled the air.
Almost at the same time, the security personnel around him also glared at him, their murderous intent focused on them, making the wealthy businessman and his bodyguards feel chills all over.
"It's okay if you don't want to abide by the rules, just leave quickly."
The cold young man spoke solemnly.
Beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the wealthy businessman. He quickly asked his bodyguard to hand over his weapon and retreat, and then he went over to accept the security check.
The security check process is so strict that even mobile phones must be checked to see if they are turned off.
No one dares to complain.
Because these security personnel are from the Meng family, the Meng family of Meng Tianhong!... The journey was smooth.
Tang Ming and Meng Jiayi arrived at the entrance of the venue. There were eight Taishi chairs and an ebony coffee table on both sides of the entrance.
Eight old men were sitting indifferently on the Taishi's chair. Some were sipping tea, while others were resting with their eyes closed.
Tang Ming squinted his eyes slightly. These eight old men were all in the Nascent Soul realm! The eight Nascent Soul realms were guarding the door! Tang Ming was slightly surprised: "Are these all the heritage of your Meng family?"
"No, only four of them are strong men from the Meng family, and the other four are sent by other families in Shanyu."
"For this auction, several hidden wealthy families in Shanyu have joined forces."
"In addition to these few Nascent Soul Realm people guarding the door, there are also many strong men sitting in the dark."
Meng Jiayi explained in a low voice: "I heard that the final medicinal materials in this auction are very unusual, and it is expected that there will be some turmoil."
"But with my dad in charge, there shouldn't be any problems."
As if he heard what she said, a white-haired old man enjoying tea on the left side of the Grand Master's chair raised his eyes. When he saw Meng Jiayi, he smiled kindly.
Meng Jiayi also pursed her lips and gave a sweet smile in return.
"This is my Grandpa Wang. I used to pull his beard when I was a kid. He hurt me very much."
Meng Jiayi smiled and said: "Let's go in first."
"good."
Tang Ming nodded and was about to enter the venue.
Sudden.
From behind, a sharp gaze looked directly at him.
Tang Ming hesitated and looked back.
I saw a group of more than a dozen people strolling in. All of these people had profound auras, especially the burly man in the lead. As he walked around, there seemed to be a sound of thunder in his body.
The burly man strode forward and stared at Tang Ming without hesitation, his eyes filled with evil intent.
