Immediately afterwards, the three of them chatted and laughed, and happily left the sect.
Before long, the group arrived in the city.
And you know what? The city was bustling with people and cars, so lively that you'd think it was almost Chinese New Year and everyone was busy buying New Year's goods.
"Why are there so many people in the city today? It's almost impossible to squeeze through!" Jiang Chen frowned and said with a puzzled look.
In his memory, today was not a special holiday, so why were there so many people? He was immediately puzzled and thought that he had finally managed to go out with his sister and brother-in-law, but there were so many people, which was really inconvenient.
"Hello, boss. Do you know what day it is today? Why is the street so lively with so many people?" Gu Changqing smiled faintly and asked a middle-aged breakfast vendor by the roadside.
"Young man, you don't know this, but a super big auction house opened in the city today. I heard there are a lot of perks there, and many people go there to join the fun, hoping to find a bargain and some good deals on cheap and high-quality items. If I weren't selling things, I might have gone to join the fun too!" The middle-aged boss said with a smile, very sincerely.
"Oh, I see. No wonder there are so many people. Should we join in the fun?" Jiang Qingcheng smiled slightly and said directly.
"I'm fine with it. I'm not planning on doing anything else today anyway," Gu Changqing said casually.
“I want to go too, what about you, Jiang Chen? Are you going or not?” Jiang Qingcheng asked excitedly.
"Since none of you have any objections, I'm more than happy to go. It would be a shame not to check out such a lively place. Who knows what kind of adventure we might have!" Jiang Chen agreed without even thinking.
"Wait a minute, let's fill our stomachs before we watch the show!" Jiang Qingcheng said with a slight smile.
The sky is vast, the earth is vast, but nothing is greater than a bowl of rice.
“Yes, we haven’t had breakfast yet. Boss, bring out all your good food.” Gu Changqing echoed his wife’s words, the two of them in perfect harmony, truly enviable to others.
"Alright, please wait a moment, we'll be right there," the middle-aged owner replied cheerfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of delicious dishes were served: steamed buns, fried dough sticks, eggs, rice porridge, and a bowl of pickled vegetables. It was quite a sight.
In no time, the three of them finished their breakfast to their hearts' content, paid for the spirit stones, and left.
After Gu Changqing and the others finished breakfast, the crowds on the street had noticeably decreased, and the streets were no longer so congested for them.
Following the footsteps of those people, Gu Changqing and his group soon arrived at the auction house that the breakfast shop owner had mentioned—the Gold Storage.
They immediately recognized this auction house as the one they were looking for. The reasons were simple: first, it was usually very crowded only on opening day; second, there were more than ten dancers performing outside the entrance, which was only done on opening day.
To be honest, these dancers wore thin gauze that vaguely revealed their fair skin, and they swayed their slender waists and danced gracefully on the stage. They were so beautiful and captivating that they attracted many lustful people to stop and watch.
Seeing the enchanting dance moves, Gu Changqing, thinking it was a waste not to watch, glanced at them a few times. However, Gu Changqing was no stranger to beautiful women dancing, and he quickly looked away, after all, his wife was still there, and he couldn't be too blatant.
Jiang Chen, on the other hand, seemed to have never seen a woman dance before. His eyes were fixed on the beautiful woman on the stage, and he was practically drooling.
It's not fair to blame Jiang Chen for being too engrossed; after all, their dance steps were alluring and captivating, especially their eyes, which were so alluring they seemed to steal one's soul. They were no less impressive than the legendary erotic dances, and perhaps even more so.
Seeing Jiang Chen's appearance, Jiang Qingcheng frowned and scolded him speechlessly, "Jiang Chen, have you forgotten why you came here today? You said you were going to buy a gift for Miss Rongrong, but I think you've completely forgotten about it. Your eyes are fixed on these women. If Miss Rongrong finds out, she'll definitely be sad and jealous."
"Sister, all men are like that, they're all lustful, it's no big deal. I was just looking, don't make a fuss. I don't believe your husband didn't look." Jiang Chen felt this was normal and said dismissively.
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Jiang Qingcheng's face immediately fell, and she was momentarily speechless.
"Jiang Chen, don't talk back to your sister. We're here to see the treasures and try our luck, not to watch the dancers perform," Gu Changqing said with a dark expression and some displeasure.
He thought to himself, "Jiang Chen, you can just look at it yourself. Why did you have to drag me into this? You really don't know how to speak properly. You're just dragging yourself into this and making everyone unhappy."
"Brother-in-law, I haven't forgotten. Okay, I won't look anymore, alright? Let's go in now!" Jiang Chen said somewhat unhappily.
At this moment, he deeply regretted bringing his sister and brother-in-law along. Even watching a beautiful woman dance was being prevented, which was truly disappointing.
Without saying a word, Gu Changqing and his two companions entered the gold storage area.
Upon entering the auction house, I was amazed by the scene inside.
This auction house looked incredibly magnificent. The walls were covered with grand and imposing runes, and even the floor was made of magnificent and expensive flooring. It was clear that the owner of this auction house had put a lot of effort into it and must have invested a considerable amount of spirit stones.
Looking inside the auction house, it was a sea of people, a dense crowd. Each of them wore incredibly grand clothes, engraved with various magnificent and incomprehensible ancient runes and Dao patterns, looking extremely high-end. Just from their clothes, you could tell that these people were all either rich or noble. Even if a poor person entered the auction house, they wouldn't be able to acquire any treasures. Even the most worthless treasures would be enough for a poor person to live on for a lifetime.
Gu Changqing glanced around casually, not caring much about the details, and went straight to the front of the auction hall. He found a stool and was about to plop down when the auction house owner came over with a smile and said, "Young master, I'm sorry, this seat has already been reserved. Please do me the honor of finding another place to sit!"
Gu Changqing glanced at the owner of the venue. He was about forty years old, wearing a blue robe, with flowing black hair, plain appearance, and wheat-colored skin. He gave off a very smooth and shrewd vibe.
"You're the owner, right? Why can others sit here, but I can't? Regardless of who this seat belonged to before, or which high-ranking official or VIP it was reserved for, I'm going to sit here now. If anyone has any objections, then feel free to come and find me." Gu Changqing said calmly and without revealing any emotion.
He didn't care about the owner of the venue or anything like that. As long as he had his eye on something, he would never let anyone else take it away. What did the owner's face matter to him? Giving him face wouldn't do him any good, so why should he give it to him? He was too lazy to care about all that. He was determined to take this position.
