Inside, men and women in modern professional attire sat quietly behind the counter, fiddling with the abacus in their hands from time to time and writing something down with their heads down.

After her initial surprise, she quickly regained her composure after all this.

But it was different for Su Yu. The whole process was just like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, extremely unsophisticated.

"Hello, how can I help you?" Soon, the legendary lobby manager appeared with a smile on his face.

The manners, the smile, and the appearance are in no way inferior to those of the flight attendants.

Li Yuan glanced around, then looked at the tall and sweet-looking manager and nodded slightly: "Yes, please tell me about the business process here."

"Okay girl, please come this way." There was no contempt in his eyes, only politeness and the most basic professional ethics.

This is a very good start for Li Yuan.

When Li Yuan followed the beauty away, Su Yu was still curious. He looked around and observed for a long time before following her into the VIP service area.

Wei Jie, who was exactly the opposite of Li Yuan, chose the symbol of power, the yellow area.

However, when he went in, he did not bring anyone with him, even the four Dharma protectors were excluded by him.

Naturally, no one knew what he was going to do.

About two hours later, the number of people entering had reached over a hundred. The originally silent and deserted venue became noisy due to everyone's curiosity.

But these people are still too few for the city that never sleeps.

Under the order of Gongzi Yan, it took until the beginning of the Shen time (3 pm) to reach the expected number of 200 people.

Among these 200 people, 80% of them already lived here, while the people brought by Wei Jie and his men only accounted for a mere 20%.

Of course, among these 20% of people, basically all those who should have come in have already come in.

Even Li Hongtao managed to sneak in.

Soon, a row of neat regular script characters appeared on the big screen of extravagance and decadence. Seeing that line of characters, many people could not suppress their inner enthusiasm and rubbed their hands together excitedly.

"The auction starts at Youshi, and it's only an hour long. Isn't that too short?"

"I've waited so long, and I don't know what good stuff this auction will have."

"I heard that a pair of dragon and phoenix swords were auctioned off last time, as well as a number of mid-grade medicinal pills!"

"Let's go, it's still early. Instead of wasting time here, why not go to the wine pond and meat forest first!"

"Come on, you're so fat and big-eared that you can't even get in!"

…

Listening to the discussions that were getting louder and louder, Li Yuan became more and more curious. It seemed that most of the people came here for the auction.

Could it be possible that there will be a lot of good stuff at the auction?

Among the nine areas, in addition to the red wine pool and meat forest, the golden wealth, and the yellow power, there are also green medicinal materials and classics, blue granaries, blue adoption welfare homes, and purple plastic surgery salons. Finally, there are the white auction house and the black gambling city.

None of them had any interest in Las Vegas. Not only them, but many other people didn't have that idea either.

It’s not that we don’t have money, but we have just arrived here and have not yet fully adapted. Plus, the cost of entering the gambling city is huge, and the risk is too great. Instead of ending up with nothing, it is better to get to know other areas first.

It can be seen that wise people still make up the majority.

Otherwise, where would you find the spare money to auction the things you want?

In just a short while, Li Yuan also learned that most of the items produced and auctioned by the City That Never Sleeps came from the Dragon Empire. Even if they finally came from the Four Continents, they were the most precious on this continent.

This is why auction houses are so highly regarded.

Now, she is somewhat interested.

Although I have never been to the Dragon Empire, the Dragon Empire is famous for its rich resources. Especially for cultivators, perhaps a pill from the Dragon Empire can be equivalent to the results of more than ten years in the Four Continents.

Now that we have this opportunity, I’m afraid no one would want to miss it.

Also, considering her current strength, it is not impossible for her to go to the Dragon Empire in the future. Perhaps she can take this opportunity to get to know it better.

Thinking of this, she immediately went to the white area and applied for a nameplate number. Seeing Su Yu still standing there in a daze, she urged him immediately: "You should go too. You must not miss such a good opportunity."

But Su Yu first looked around, then pulled Li Yuan to an empty corner, frowned and asked: "Yuan'er, this is an auction house, the entrance price alone is one thousand taels, we don't know what to do next here,"

What else is there to be confused about? Could it be that her brother is worried about whether she has enough money?

Well, if it were in the past, they might have considered this aspect. After all, the City That Never Sleeps is different from other places. Now they are almost isolated from the outside world. Even if they want to go to the silver shop to exchange some money, it is impossible.

At this time, the remaining money on them naturally becomes particularly important. No one can predict how long they can stay in this money-sucking place.

It is still necessary to save a little.

But that was in the past. Things are different now. This time, her Grandpa Ling and Father Ling gave her a lot of good things, including money and silver. Now her ring is filled with so much money that she naturally doesn't need to consider this factor.

His brother Su has always been frugal, so it is normal for him to have such considerations, but this matter concerns Lingjiazhuang, and even if this is his biological brother, she cannot reveal it.

Similarly, no one in Lingjiazhuang knew anything about Fengchi. She was always very sensible when it came to matters of principle.

"Brother Su, once you enter, you don't have to participate in the auction. It's also good to watch the excitement. This opportunity is so rare, do you want to miss it?"

It must be said that Li Yuan's words hit the nail on the head. Su Yu had thought about this before, but he had too many uncertainties in mind about the City That Never Sleeps. If he was unable to move forward in the future due to money issues, that would be the most unprofitable thing.

but--

Who wouldn't want to see the rare treasures from the Dragon Empire? Even if it was a low-grade or medium-grade elixir, it would be very tempting to them!

Seeing that he showed signs of loosening up, Li Yuan suppressed her smile and tried to deceive him again. In the end, our Su Da finally reluctantly spent one thousand taels of silver and bought a brand-name numbered card.

Just as they stood here, Wei Jie, who had not shown up all this time, also led Qingchen and the other three to buy brand-name products.

Before long, Baili Fu, Hong Xie, Yang Su, and even Li Hongtao all bought famous brands.

There was a sudden commotion in front of the door to the white area.

Gongzi Yan, who witnessed all this, whispered a few words to the Moon Protector beside him, and within a moment, the auction began to check tickets for admission.

He led the four black-clad bodyguards, Zui Sheng Meng Si, and left the world of decadence through the tunnel.

Surprisingly, his target was the black area outside the field.

As the owner of the city that never sleeps, she is naturally very familiar with every tree and blade of grass here, and the black area, which is of paramount importance, is even more important in her eyes.

"Have you found out everything?"

"Reporting to the young city lord, I have already inquired about everything. Those people they brought here are all detained in these places."

As he spoke, he handed over a list. Gongzi Yan just lowered his eyes and glanced at it, then said calmly: "Now that we have found out, let's take action!"

"Yes, sir." At his command, the four black-clad guardians of Zuishengmengsi, like bats in the dark night, instantly jumped out of the thick fog and headed towards the target.

After him, countless hermits also dressed in black appeared out of nowhere in the darkness. Without any instructions from the other party, they easily knocked down the people guarding in front of the buildings and in the dark. In just a quarter of an hour, the black area that was originally heavily guarded collapsed in an instant.

Gongzi Yan stood there quietly, with a cold smile on his lips.

Half an hour later, the black guard named "Death" appeared three meters away from Gongzi Yan with a bloody aura, kneeling down to report.

"Sir, all the prisoners have been rescued. May I ask where they will be placed?"

Gongzi Yan stroked the ring on his slender jade finger, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and said coldly: "Black Mountain Range, Green Water Pond."

The black guard, who had been lowering his head, suddenly raised his head: "Sir?"

A hint of coldness suddenly flashed across Gongzi Yan's eyes. "What? Do you want to question my decision?"

"No, I dare not. However, there are various beasts around the Green Water Pond, and these people are from the Four Continents. What if..."

Gongzi Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, smiling, "Then they deserve to be unlucky."

No matter how many doubts the Black Guard had, at this point, he had no choice but to obey the order and leave.

As he disappeared, a cool voice sounded faintly in the misty night: "If you can't even deal with low-level beasts, how can you guard the four continents?"

When the killing ended here, the auction began over there. No one expected that on this night, earth-shaking changes took place in the city that never sleeps.

Bailifu, who thought she was in control of the black area, could never have imagined that her so-called unnoticed actions had already been calculated by others. Everything she did was just helping others without her knowing it.

The auction venue has three floors. The first floor is in the lobby, surrounding the entire auction table. The second and third floors are all private rooms and seats. Of course, these seats require additional charges.

Li Yuan spent nearly ten thousand taels before he and Su Yu sat in the most central position on the second floor. The view from this position was, if not the best, then it was definitely among the top three.

As expected, she ran into Wei Jie, who was sitting next to her with a cold face. She waved at him awkwardly: "Hi!~"

Wei Jie changed out of his black robe and put on a dark green brocade robe with a fine green crystal jade belt tied around his waist. His perfect profile made someone's heart beat faster.

He first glanced coldly at Su Yu who was standing beside her, and then frowned, looking quite displeased.

Su Yu felt his scalp tingling when he was glanced at by him. It was a pity that he was obviously a capable young man, but in front of Wei Jie, he couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure. Especially his gaze seemed to contain an inexplicable deep meaning in his eyes.

When he looked at Qingchen behind Wei Jie, he immediately understood everything and turned back without thinking: "Seventh Miss, I still have something to say to Qingchen, so I won't bother you any more."

Having said that, regardless of whether Li Yuan was willing or not, he nodded to Wei Jie and followed Qing Chen and the others to the next room.

Li Yuan was not blind, and immediately gave Wei Jie a displeased look: "You are too stingy, aren't you? If I didn't know, I would have thought you were jealous!"

She thought this man would give her the cold shoulder again, but she didn't expect him to curl his lips at her playfully: "Why? Can't I be jealous?"

Li Yuan's mouth twitched, and she rolled her eyes at him teasingly, "Okay, but if the target is me, it's a bit, ahem, too strong."

He glanced at her calmly, his eyes as cold as a knife, "As long as you and I remain unmarried for one day, you must obey the rules of being a woman for me."

Oh my god, what are you talking about?

Did this old man get his head pinched? How dare he talk about women's ethics with a ten-year-old girl?

What had she done to deserve such a warning from him?

Her eyes suddenly turned cold as a knife, and she glared at him with a long-lost murderous look on her face: "Wei Jie, I must seriously warn you, our relationship was forced together, why do you have to do this?"
