Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2390: Chapter 2391: Successful Bid

A steward standing behind the young man took the order and left.

The young man still hadn’t calmed his anger, his face grim as he silently stared at the metal component that had just been sold through the glass window.

A nearby beautiful woman noticed this and chuckled, then gracefully filled the young man’s wine glass again with her slender hands.

”Why are you so angry, Young Master Lian? Come, have a glass of wine to calm down!”

The young man turned his head to look at the woman and suddenly pulled her into his arms, roughly handling her.

Only after her hair was disheveled and she was gasping for breath did the young man release her, his face dark as he leaned back in his chair.

The woman lazily leaned on his shoulder and said flirtatiously, ”Young Master Lian, what’s wrong? Why are you so keen on that piece of scrap metal?”

”What do you know?” he scoffed. ”Others may not recognize it, but I can tell it’s clearly a component of an armor set. And how precious any piece of alchemical armor is, I needn’t elaborate!”

The woman blinked, seeming to understand and nodded, ”I see, so the people in the opposite box must know this too? No wonder they’re competing with you, Young Master Lian, to snatch that piece!”

The young man sneered, ”And what if they know? On this planet, there’s nothing I, Lian Yuting, want that I cannot have!”

As they spoke, the steward who had left earlier returned.

”How is it? Did you find out who they are?” Lian Yuting asked gravely.

”Young Master Lian, after investigating, I found that after the auction began, two groups entered the venue. One is the Si Family, but they are seated in the hall. As for the other group...”

”Who is the other group?”

”There is one person in the other group who is the Shopkeeper of the Medicinal Workshop, Mo Changhong!”

”Mo Changhong?” Lian Yuting suddenly sat up, his expression turning very grim upon hearing the name.

”Are you sure?”

”It has been confirmed; it is indeed her!”

”If it’s her, this will be difficult!” Lian Yuting stood up, pacing with a complex expression.

His initial plan was to intercept and rob them on their way home after identifying them.

But if their opponent is Mo Changhong, that would change things.

Lian Yuting was aware enough to know this.

While the Lian Family holds substantial power on this planet, it’s nothing compared to the backers behind the Medicinal Workshop.

But he was unwilling to let the matter go.

As he hesitated, a steward rushed into the box.

”Young Master Lian, the Family Head has sent word!”

”Huh? I just left, and there’s news already?” Lian Yuting was puzzled.

The steward approached, whispering a few words to Lian Yuting.

After hearing them, Lian Yuting’s anger vanished, replaced by excitement and joy.

”Is this true?”

”It came directly from the Family Head; it cannot be false!”

”That’s wonderful! Once these distinguished guests arrive, let’s see who dares be arrogant—let alone Mo Changhong!”

Lian Yuting chuckled gleefully, suddenly recalling something, ”When will the guests arrive?”

”They have already set off and should arrive soon!”

”Great! We’re still on time; let’s go prepare at once!”

With that, Lian Yuting turned and left, without a trace of hesitation.

The rest of his subordinates followed suit promptly.

The woman stood bewildered, but after a moment of hesitation, she followed as well.

The Lian Family departed like that.

Meanwhile, in Box No. 2, Mo Changhong looked at Xue An bewildered.

”What’s the matter? Why look at me like that?” Xue An said mildly.

Mo Changhong took a deep breath, ”It’s nothing, I just wanted to see what someone who casually spends over ten thousand Spirit Crystals looks like!”

Xue An smiled softly, ”Well, have you seen clearly now?”

”Yes, very clearly!” Mo Changhong nodded.

”Then let’s go!”

Xue An stood up, proceeding through the VIP passage to the auction venue’s backstage.

At this moment, everyone from Tianhe Auction, including the auctioneer, was waiting eagerly for Xue An.

As Mo Changhong’s group entered the backstage, the auctioneer greeted them enthusiastically, ”Shopkeeper Mo, I didn’t expect you’d be interested in this alchemical artifact. I’ve already packed everything; do you want to take it now?”

Mo Changhong coughed lightly and pointed to Xue An beside her, ”I think you’ve got it wrong. I’m not the one who bought it, he is!”

The auctioneer was taken aback.

He had received information that the people in Box No. 2 were Mo Changhong from the local Medicinal Workshop.

Thus, he assumed it was Mo Changhong who acquired the item.

But indeed, the buyer turned out to be someone else entirely.

And who was this young man in white? He hadn’t seen him before!

Despite his thoughts, the auctioneer’s smile became even more radiant.

”So, this gentleman is the buyer. That’s really...”

Before he could finish his pleasantries, Xue An tossed over a storage ring.

”Enough, let’s complete the transaction!”

The auctioneer promptly quieted down.

Clearly, this young man in white disliked idle chatter.

He efficiently proceeded with the handover.

Then, handing the box containing the component over to Xue An.

Xue An took the box and left without delay, not lingering for a moment longer.

This left the person in charge, who hoped to converse a bit more or at least exchange contact details for future auctions, rather dumbfounded.

He had never encountered such a cold guest.

In truth, he misunderstood Xue An.

Xue An’s hurried manner was due to sensing danger nearby.

Even with the box’s protective array, he sensed Lian Yuting’s predatory eyes earlier.

Though the feeling of being watched vanished, Xue An decided it better to leave quickly.

Not out of fear, but to avoid entangling himself further.

Soon, Xue An, along with Xiao Gourd and his two daughters, exited Tianhe Auction.

”Where to now? Shall we go to my place first?” Mo Changhong asked.

Xue An shook his head, ”No need. Cha Wenliang has already returned to the hotel waiting for us. Time to take leave!”

”Alright then, if anything arises, feel free to visit me at the Medicinal Workshop!”

Mo Changhong reluctantly bid farewell to Xiao Gourd, Xiang Xiang, and Nian Nian, then left.

Xue An led everyone straight to the hotel, and upon entering the room, he arranged multiple arrays isolating the surroundings.

Then, he took out the auction item and handed it to Xiao Gourd, who was eager to see it.

”Here’s the item you wanted! Open it and take a look!”
