Chapter 962 Steal
Suddenly, Xiang Nan saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
It was Xuan Qingzhu!
Xuan Qingzhu was dressed in a beautiful gown and was walking around the circles of various great figures with ease.
These big shots usually didn't have a good impression of outsiders. They were extremely arrogant. If it wasn't for the people in the circle, they would definitely not have taken a fancy to them.
However, Xuan Qingzhu was too beautiful. She had almost become the focus of everyone present. No matter where she went, every small circle welcomed her very much.
Xuan Qingzhu held the wine cup with a faint smile on his face. He was neither distant from others nor seemed to be too close to them.
Her appearance and her aloof temperament were the most attractive to the wealthy.
Xiang Nan even heard someone whispering to himself that he wanted to take down the Black Green Bamboo today and have a good time tonight.
"Just you?" Another fat, bald middle-aged man laughed loudly. With this laugh, the fat on his face was bumpy up and down.
The fat man laughed and said, "Look at how dignified this woman is. It's not easy to deal with at first glance. She may have seen many world-class millionaires."
Xiang Nan only gave Xuan Qingzhu a faint glance and no longer paid attention.
He also didn't want to expose Xuan Qingzhu, because she wasn't the main force that snatched the Void Stone this time. Even if the Lord of the Northeast found out about Xuan Qingzhu's existence, it wouldn't change the current situation.
At that time, Xuan Qingzhu and the others would attack together. Whether Xiong Zhan knew her identity or not, they could only fight.
The most important thing was to find the whereabouts of the First Grade Hall.
However, what made Xiang Nan feel strange was that he still hadn't seen a single member of the First Stage Hall or the Emergency Response Team.
"Did they decide to come only at night?" Xiang Nan lowered his head and pondered. Today was the first day of the exhibition, and also the day when the first wave of precious exhibits were released. Almost all the guests would arrive here on this day.
However, the number of guests was truly too large. Although it was only an internal membership system, the number of guests had already reached more than 3,000. In addition to the family members and generals brought by the guests themselves, the number had already reached more than 20,000.
Amongst so many people, it was indeed not easy to find a First Grade Hall expert that was deliberately concealed.
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the door.
Xiang Nan consciously turned around and saw an incomparably "beautiful" man negotiating with the guard guarding the door.
The reason why that man was said to be beautiful was because he was too neutral. He looked like a super beauty, but he was indeed a man.
"I was indeed stolen!" The handsome man was so anxious that he broke out in sweat, "I came out this morning with an invitation card, but now I can't find it."
This small detail instantly attracted Xiang Nan's attention.
The invitation was stolen?
Could it be that someone from the First Grade Hall stole someone else's invitation card and came in pretending to be someone else?
However, Xiao Ying's eyes lit up and she ran over. Her eyes flickered with small stars as she said infatuatedly, "Brother Shuai, did you lose your invitation card?"
The handsome man glanced at Xiao Ying and quickly smiled, "Yes, I don't know why I can't find them, but these people don't believe me."
Xiao Ying giggled. He grabbed the handsome man's hand and said, "I'll bring you in."
"Really? That's great." The handsome man immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
The guards were in a difficult situation, but there was nothing they could do. Guests could bring their attendants into the exhibition. Although they knew that the handsome man was not Xiao Ying's attendant, Xiao Ying insisted that they had no evidence.
It could be seen that Xiao Ying liked this beautiful man very much.
After seeing Xiang Nan, the man asked hesitantly, "This is …"
Xiao Ying giggled, "It's just a lackey, don't bother with him."
"Oh, so he's a servant." The handsome man smiled.
Xiang Nan whispered beside Xiao Ying, "You'd better be polite to me, otherwise I'll tell you all about what happened when you slipped out today!"
Xiao Ying's cheeks were so red with anger that she could only glared fiercely at Xiang Nan and helplessly said, "Brother Shuai, I'm joking with you. He's my good friend."
Xiang Nan gave Xiao Ying a look, which meant that you were smart.
"I want to see exhibition area number one. Let's go take a look." The handsome man extended an invitation.
Xiao Ying had already been subdued by the handsome man's appearance. She was afraid that even if he wanted to sleep with Xiao Ying now, she would not refuse.
There were nine large palaces in Exhibition Area 1, and the official exhibition of the collection began in each palace.
Xiao Ying and the handsome man held hands and strolled over to the exhibition stands one by one.
Every booth contained rare treasures, but most of them were difficult for ordinary people to accept, such as organs cut off from the body of an Empire's Empress Concubine.
These things were worthless and even disgusting to ordinary people, but to some collectors, they were incomparably precious.
Apart from that, there were also some real treasures, so naturally there was no need to worry about them.
Xiang Nan was observing this handsome man, and that handsome man had also secretly observed Xiang Nan. When he discovered that Xiang Nan was a ninth level Heavenly Yuan martial artist, he didn't care about it anymore. In such a realm, he could only guard the door outside.
As for this handsome man, he made Xiang Nan pay extra attention, because he couldn't see his cultivation realm. In other words, he didn't have any cultivation and was the most ordinary mortal.
However, this was a bit too ordinary.
Even if he was a son of a wealthy family and didn't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life, it was normal for him to cultivate martial arts out of curiosity.
On the next stand, there was a Wuling Fire Crystal.
This kind of gemstone is very rare. Its hardness is very poor. Although it is beautiful, its practical value is not high.
"Look, this gem is so beautiful." Xiao Ying sweetly held the handsome man's hand and said, "Brother Shuai, can I buy it for you?"
The handsome man smiled and said, "Alright, but these exhibits were originally only for us to admire. We won't officially auction them until the end of today. We can't buy them now."
Xiao Ying smiled sweetly and glared at Xiang Nan, "Look at him, he knows so much! How can a pervert like you know nothing?"
Xiang Nan shrugged his shoulders. "At least I won't ask for women's food for nothing. I won't do something like eating soft food."
Xiao Ying was so frightened that she waved her hand at Xiang Nan repeatedly. She was afraid that the handsome man would hear her.
Actually, the handsome man had already heard it, but his smile was the same as before, and he did not feel uncomfortable at all.
"Alright, let's go." The handsome man wrapped his left hand around Xiao Ying's shoulder and turned around to walk towards the next exhibition area.
At the same time, the two fingers of his left hand gently twisted, and a ball of hard-to-find powder fell down Xiao Ying's cheek and was sucked in by her.
At this time, Xiao Ying's eyes were dumbfounded, and then she recovered.
As for the handsome man's right hand, it moved slightly. Without even seeing his movements, the Wuling Fire Crystal on the exhibition platform disappeared.
The Wuling Fire Crystal was stuffed into Xiao Ying's hand by the handsome man, while Xiao Ying stuffed the Fire Crystal into her trousers along the waist.
This string of movements was extremely fast, so fast that ordinary people were unaware of it.
But Xiang Nan saw everything.
"Where's the Wuling Fire Crystal?" The maidservant who was in charge of guarding the booth instantly turned pale with fright.
"Wait, these three guests, please wait a moment." The maid hurriedly chased after him and said, "Our Wuling Fire Crystal is gone. May I ask if the three distinguished guests have seen it?"
There was a crystal cover on the booth. This crystal cover had been strengthened with great power. Even if it bombarded the booth indiscriminately, it would definitely not be able to take away the exhibits without five minutes and ten minutes.
However, the handsome man used some unknown method to directly pierce through the crystal shield and took away the Wuling Fire Crystal.
"What a joke!" Xiao Ying curled her lips and said angrily, "Are you saying that I stole your exhibits?"
The maid hurriedly said, "No, no."
The maidservant was also observing Xiao Ying and the handsome man, and discovered that these two people were very ordinary. That handsome man had no cultivation realm, and Xiao Ying's cultivation realm was so low that it could be ignored.
Finally, her gaze fell on Xiang Nan and she said, "Sir, please cooperate with us."
Xiang Nan looked at the handsome man indifferently, but he didn't say anything.
