After Jin Xiaoyuan was reminded by Chu Qianli, he suddenly felt that he was redundant. He busied himself around the hotel, exchanged a few words with Tan Muxing, introduced several well-known high-end dress brands, and then hurried away.

"These stores are the most famous, so I'm sure you'll find one you like. I won't go with you." Jin Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrows meaningfully and said with a smile, "How about this, I'll entertain you before you leave. You can't take away Muxing's chance to perform these two days."

Tan Muxing was unable to refute Jin Xiaoyuan's blunt suggestion and said politely, "...Thank you."

After a while, Jin Xiaoyuan left the hotel, leaving only Chu Qianli and others.

Uncle Qi arranged for others to carry the luggage and delivered Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing's things to their respective rooms. He sighed, "This time they left quite quickly. Last time they kept the old lady close to them."

Jin Xiaoyuan used to want to accompany the Tan family throughout the trip, fearing that they would not have enough fun in G City.

Chu Qianli was quite pleased with herself when she heard this: "That's right, I have a way of sending people around. I say different things to different people."

Tan Muxing was stunned when he heard her smug tone. His eyes trembled, and he was troubled for a long time. Finally, he asked tentatively: "...Then shall we go buy a dress later?"

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly and cast his eyes down uneasily.

"Of course not, I already have a dress." Chu Qianli said in surprise, "There's no need to buy more."

"Ah..." Tan Muxing was actually prepared, but he still felt lost for no reason and said softly, "Okay."

As expected, she was just helping out, knowing that he was not good at dealing with Jin Xiaoyuan.

"Then let's take a break and meet at the door after you change your clothes." Tan Muxing forced himself to be energetic and said with a smile, "You should be tired too."

"Okay, send me a message later." Chu Qianli slipped out the door excitedly, "I'll go see the view from my room."

"Um."

Tan Muxing looked at her joyful back as she left, and suddenly he didn't know what to say. He felt as if his chest was filled with astringent seawater, and he couldn't make a sound. He shook his head, trying to get rid of the feeling of loss, and walked to the side to change his clothes.

Not long after, Tan Muxing changed into a dark suit. After sending a message to Chu Qianli, he waited at the door. He was stunned when he saw her in a dress.

Tan Muxing looked at the familiar design with surprise on his face: "This is..."

Chu Qianli was wearing a classical palace-style dress. She turned around leisurely, the hem of her dress gleaming slightly under the lights, like stars shining on the night sky. She showed off, "How is it?"

Tan Muxing had given Chu Qianli a dress on her birthday, but he never thought she would wear it now. He was surprised to see his immature work and asked in astonishment: "Are you going to wear this?"

Chu Qianli had never worn it before, and he thought she had kept it at the bottom of her closet. Who would have thought she would wear it today!

"Yes. It's a rare opportunity." Chu Qianli nodded. "Isn't this one suitable?"

"Let's go pick out another one." Tan Muxing hesitated in shame, "...I'm so bad at this. This one is really bad. I'll buy you something else."

Chu Qianli refused rebelliously: "No, I want to wear this."

Seeing her being so stubborn, Tan Muxing was embarrassed to negotiate with her, saying in a gentle voice: "Why don't we go to the store Uncle Jin mentioned? Anyway, we still have some time, maybe there will be better ones."

"No." Chu Qianli shook her head, "Just this one."

"But I really didn't do it well. It won't look good when I wear it out..." Tan Muxing said weakly. Everyone else at the auction wore expensive dresses, but Chu Qianli wore the dress he made, which was inappropriate no matter how he thought about it.

Chu Qianli calmed down and said, "That's your problem. You should change your habits and reflect on yourself as soon as possible."

“…”

Chu Qianli was spinning around happily, as if she couldn't wait to show off her skirt to everyone, and she was jumping around freely.

Tan Muxing felt really embarrassed. He hurried over and tried to persuade her earnestly, "Change it. I'll help you choose."

"If you don't want to change it, then don't change it." Facing his pursuit, Chu Qianli dodged here and there swiftly, and teased, "I'm glad I didn't force you to praise me for 800 words. I advise you not to continue to find fault."

Her eyes were filled with smiles, like bright stars.

Tan Muxing was stunned. He was silent for a few seconds, then lowered his eyes and asked, "Why do you have to wear this?"

"No reason."

“But there are obviously many better ones than this one.”

“But I just want to wear it.”

Tan Muxing was feeling a little depressed in the house just now, but now he felt like he was stepping on soft marshmallows. He felt that the air was filled with sweetness, which made him feel light and happy.

He pursed his lips and gave in: "...Okay."

Chu Qianli raised his chin and asked, "Does it look good?"

Tan Muxing raised his eyes, his gaze gentle: "It looks good."

She was always carefree and free, and even he was infected and happy about it.

The two did not discuss the dress anymore. Instead, they chatted and laughed as they got into the car and headed for the auction.

Various information scrolled on the big screen, as well as the logo of the Russian auction house.

The halls were brightly lit, with men and women in expensive dresses walking around, browsing all kinds of rare objects. Each hall was slightly different, with some crowded and others empty.

Chu Qianli came to the auction house for the first time. She looked around curiously and asked, "I thought there would be an auctioneer?"

"These are still in the preview stage. The auction site is further back. Some venues require a deposit." Tan Muxing patiently introduced, "If you see something you like during the preview, you can come to the auction on time."

"Okay, now let's go find the remaining cards." Chu Qianli looked at the bustling preview hall on the side, and she walked towards there with her head held high.

Tan Muxing hurriedly stopped her and said, "We are not going there."

Chu Qianli: “?”

Tan Muxing pointed in the opposite direction: "It's this way."

A moment later, the two arrived at a remote preview hall and began to look for the astrologer's relics.

Chu Qianli found that there was no one around and was surprised: "There are so few people in this exhibition hall?"

She hadn't noticed this exhibition hall just now, mainly because there were too few visitors inside.

Tan Muxing: "…because what you are looking for is indeed not very popular."

Although Chu Qianli treasured the Red Crystal Tarot, others had no idea what it was used for, and would not care about something left behind by an astrologer. Laymen did not know what astrology was, let alone an old Tarot deck, and it was a damaged deck.

As expected, Chu Qianli soon discovered Lyle Gadbury's relics. He appeared in the preview hall with his real name, but his identity in the introduction information was a painter, not even an astrologer.

Lyle Gadbury's relics were still placed in a corner, and no one seemed to be interested in them in the deserted exhibition hall. The information on the materials still showed the artist's manuscripts and painting tools, and all kinds of astrological patterns were turned into paintings.

Seeing this, Chu Qianli felt very aggrieved: "I feel the world's ill will towards the profession of astrologer. Why do they classify him as an unknown painter?"

"Newton is also an astrologer." She said dissatisfiedly, "You are too contemptuous!"

It’s not easy to talk about Twilight Star. Outsiders only know that Newton is a scientist. He comforted her by saying, “Well… maybe astrologers don’t have five insurances and one housing fund?”

Chu Qianli couldn't feel the manuscript through the display cabinet, and she was not sure where the rest of the Minor Arcana were. She could only ask someone to ask the uniformed staff in the exhibition hall.

"Hi, when will these be auctioned?"

"Ah, these?" The female staff member looked at the exhibits clearly. She seemed quite surprised and said politely, "Wait a moment, I'll ask for you."

The two of them thanked him quickly and stood by the counter waiting.

Not long after, the female staff member hurried back and replied in a friendly manner: "It's like this, this auction item is quite special. If you are very interested, you can take it away today after completing the formalities."

Tan Muxing was stunned: "Isn't this a preview? We don't have to wait until the auction day?"

The female staff member smiled and said, "No, if you like it, you can take it away today."

Tan Muxing: "But last time I waited until after the auction house..."

The female staff member smiled and said firmly: "These are not needed."

Tan Muxing felt the other party's enthusiastic sales attitude and noticed the resentment of the naughty child next to him, so he hurriedly said, "...Okay, thank you."

A moment later, the staff quickly processed the procedures for the two of them, with a generous atmosphere of clearing out inventory and selling off all the goods.

Chu Qianli said in a gloomy tone: "This senior astrologer must have been sold out. He must have been sold out. What happened to the auction that was supposed to take place? Why did he sell it directly without even going through the auction process?"

Tan Muxing smiled wryly and consoled him: "Maybe it was unsold too many times before. It doesn't matter. It will be much easier for us to get it now."

Chu Qianli: "What on earth is being sold in the exhibition hall next door? What else could be more valuable than the precious inheritance of an astrologer!?"

"They are usually rare jewellery or valuable antiques, and they are hard currency that maintains its value, like jade or rare pearls."

Chu Qianli was still angry a moment ago, but now her eyes sparkled and she said in an instant: "Really? I want to go and see."

Facing her expectant gaze, Tan Muxing inexplicably recalled He Shichen's dark face in his mind, but he was powerless to resist her request and said hesitantly, "Let's see...it should be okay..."

The two of them have already made the payment and the auction house is processing the formalities. They will be able to pick up the astrologer's relics soon, so they can visit other exhibition halls while waiting.

Chu Qianli could not wait to enter the exhibition hall with the most people, and was immediately dazzled by the glittering jewelry in the various display cabinets. It was like she had stumbled headfirst into a world of luxury and extravagance.

Countless rare and valuable objects are gathered here. Despite the erosion of time and the damage of wind and frost, they are still priceless.

A couple next to them admired the items for sale in the display cabinet. The woman exclaimed, "This one is so beautiful."

The man looked embarrassed: "Don't look at it, don't look at it..."

"What's wrong with taking a look? I know you don't have a license plate, so I can't even take a look?"

Chu Qianli heard the conversation between the two and asked in confusion: "What is the license plate?"

Tan Muxing explained in a low voice: "It is the certificate for entering the auction site. Some places are too popular and the preview can be open to the public, but not everyone can go to the auction site. A certain deposit must be paid."

"The more expensive the item is, the more deposit you have to pay. Once you get the number plate, you have the right to bid and can sit in the auction venue."

Chu Qianli suddenly realized that this was a way of using number plates to filter customers in advance, and those without money would have no chance to watch the auction.

The two of them strolled around the exhibition hall. Chu Qianli was dazzled by the various types of jewelry. She knew nothing about gemstones, so she was naturally confused. Now she turned around in a daze.

Facing the colorful stones, she even remembered a line from a song: "black, white, red, yellow, purple, green, blue, and gray", but she could not quite understand them.

There was no price tag for this preview, as if it was assumed that people had an estimate in their minds, so she couldn't judge based on the price.

Chu Qianli said distressedly: "I suddenly realized that learning is really important."

Tan Muxing didn't know why she suddenly came to her senses, and asked in surprise, "Why do you suddenly have such a feeling?"

"If I hadn't studied hard, I wouldn't have picked the most expensive ones!" As an outsider, Chu Qianli had to rely on numbers to judge the items. Unexpectedly, they didn't have public prices, which immediately left her at a loss as to where to start and she was very upset for a while.

Tan Muxing: "..."

Tan Muxing felt that this was the only thing that made her feel relieved that He Shichen was not doing well in her studies.

People can never earn money beyond their cognitive scope, just like a naughty child can never ruin a house beyond her cognitive scope.
