The crowd gradually gave up, leaving only Nie Qingyi and the masked man to continue bidding.

When the price rose to three thousand taels, Shen Qianxue suddenly got up, walked to the window, and her figure was reflected in the window.

After a short while, the masked man stopped bidding.

The price stopped at three thousand five hundred taels!

Nie Qingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to give instructions to the man beside her.

"After you get out, follow that masked man and find out his identity. He may know the secrets of our clan."

The man next to him nodded.

After the auction ended, Shen Qianxue summoned two of her disciples from Team One, namely Li Hei and Fu Gang.

Then he said to Su Jin, "You go back to the Prince's Mansion with them first."

Su Jin asked in confusion, "Do you have something else to do? Aren't you coming back together?"

Shen Qianxue squeezed Su Jinxia's hand and said softly, "Something came up. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Su Jin left without saying anything.

The three of them left the teahouse and walked along a small alley toward the Prince's Mansion. Li Hei and Fu Gang chatted casually with Su Jinxia, ​​complaining that Su Jinxia hadn't been to the team for quite some time.

Su Jin was a little absent-minded.

While sensing Nie Qingyi's movements, she also sensed the person following behind her. She was multitasking and couldn't concentrate on chatting.

"What's wrong with you?" Fu Gang noticed Su Jin's unusual behavior.

Su Jin looked at him and said, "Well, I don't want to go back. I want to go for a walk."

“Sure, we’ll go with you,” Li Hei said enthusiastically.

Su Jin glanced at Li Hei with disdain, "I don't want to shop with you. You two go back first, I'll go have fun by myself."

“That won’t do! Young Master said he’ll send you back safely.” Li Hei was stubborn.

Su Jin felt a little tired.

"Shen Qianxue was just saying that. I often go out alone, and I've never seen him send anyone to protect me. With the two of you following me, how can I have any fun? You should go back now."

Su Jin pushed Li Hei and Fu Gang towards the Prince's Mansion, then ran out of the alley and into the crowd.

At the same time, the person hidden in the shadows put away the hidden weapon in their hand and followed in the direction Su Jin was heading.
