1918 Auction 2
Gu Chaoyan’s curiosity was piqued, as she wanted to know more about the individuals bidding outside. She was about to ask Sword One to inquire when the two people who had been conversing caught her attention.
“Who could it be outside? Why are they still bothering us?” one voice grumbled, clearly annoyed by the presence of those outside.
“Who else but someone from Piaomiao Pavilion?” another voice responded disdainfully, indicating a familiarity with the situation. However, it was evident that they held a low opinion of individuals from Piaomiao Pavilion.
“People from Piaomiao Pavilion are always so overconfident and ignorant,” a man added with a sneer.
Their mocking laughter followed, and then they resumed with the auction proceedings.
Gu Chaoyan tried to process the conversation she had overheard. In the Saint Divine Land, she had learned that Piaomiao Pavilion was considered a prominent school with a cultivation level. She had assumed Piaomiao Pavilion held a high position.
However, things were different in the Haitian Market. Haitian Auction House had already displayed an unusual attitude towards Piaomiao Pavilion. Additionally, based on the conversation she overheard, it was apparent that none of the individuals present held Piaomiao Pavilion in high regard.
Nevertheless, this was not surprising. Piaomiao Pavilion did not even have one of the eight seats at the auction, which meant they were standing outside alongside everyone else. It indicated that Piaomiao Pavilion might be among the more proficient practitioners but not the most knowledgeable.
Considering this, it seemed unlikely that Piaomiao Pavilion would be able to secure the authority token.
She did not care.
But she had a grudge against Zhao Dier and Piaomiao Pavilion.
The more capable Piaomiao Pavilion was, the worse it would be for her.
But at this moment she was totally assured.
And the auction ended in her intermediate state. The person who got the authority token was the only woman apart from her, who got twice as much golden knives as she did.
That was what she had expected. It would have been more difficult to get the last authority token, but she had not expected who got it.
When the authority token was done, everything was dismissed.
Everyone looked regretful, but the result was settled.
On the way out, the woman took one more look at Gu Chaoyan and left.
Gu Chaoyan walked forward calmly.
“Gu Chaoyan.” A familiar sharp voice arose.
Gu Chaoyan instinctively furrowed her brow upon hearing the voice. It was evident that she did not appreciate this person. However, she couldn’t simply ignore him out of courtesy. Despite her cold expression, she halted and stood still, not uttering a word.
Zhao Dier stormed in, visibly angry. With her father by her side, Zhao Dier felt emboldened and ready to seek revenge. This gave her a menacing appearance.
Just as Zhao Dier was about to unleash a tirade, Zhao Wuhuai swiftly intervened. He grabbed Zhao Dier, passing by her and approaching Gu Chaoyan instead. Initially, his intention was not to restrain Zhao Dier, but upon catching sight of what Gu Chaoyan held in her hand, he abruptly halted, preventing Zhao Dier from proceeding further.
