Pfft.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.
"What do you an by that? It sounds like I’m always causing trouble." Chen Yang said helplessly.
"It’s not that you love causing trouble, but there are quite a few people who have grudges against you, right? I guess this ti the Gu Family and Murong Family will have people attending this auction, so I must remind you emphatically, under no circumstances should you make a move, otherwise it will bring strong suppression from the auction." Lisa reminded Chen Yang seriously, her face solemn.
Chen Yang put away his smile, understanding that the auction ans were very tough.
"What if the Gu Family makes a move on ?" Chen Yang countered.
"You don’t need to worry about that, they wouldn’t dare. Even if they did make a move on you, you can’t strike back, you can only dodge. This way, they will be entirely at fault, and the auction will definitely give you justice. Don’t worry." Lisa smiled.
Upon hearing the situation, Chen Yang understood.
Ultimately, he must not cause trouble within the auction venue.
Whoever causes trouble will be suppressed with force.
"Now I’m relieved, I was worried that the auction and Gu Family were in cahoots, specifically targeting ." Chen Yang jokingly said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Lisa scoffed, "That will definitely not happen, rest assured, the auction is a legitimate institution, and they treat everyone equally. Plus, if anything happens, I’m here."
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Yang nodded earnestly, understanding the general situation of the auction.
Just then, the restaurant began serving dishes, so the two chatted as they ate.
"By the way, how did you know I have grudges with the Murong Family and Gu Family? Did you investigate ?" Holding his knife and fork, just as he cut into a steak, he suddenly realized.
Earlier, Lisa ntioned the Gu Family and Murong Family. He hadn’t proactively shared those details, so Lisa must have intentionally investigated him.
And indeed, that was the case.
After attending the event where Chen Yang showcased his extraordinary fighting prowess, Lisa investigated him the day after.
While she didn’t know him thoroughly, she was aware of the basic situation.
"Of course, for a strong and talented cultivator like you, how could I not investigate? But you shouldn’t question , question Deputy Director Ma instead." Lisa replied casually, enjoying her steak.
"Deputy Director Ma? Why?"
"Because he’s already turned your life upside down in his investigation, pulling up everything about you since childhood. I just did a little snooping." Lisa couldn’t help but laugh.
"..."
Chen Yang was instantly speechless.
So, they know everything about him, including all his experiences?
"But don’t worry, we only investigate major events, like your college years, what you accomplished, and so on. We don’t excessively intrude on your personal life." Lisa seed to see what Chen Yang was thinking, quickly adding more details.
Chen Yang was still speechless but figured it was normal.
In Deputy Director Ma Jiantao’s eyes in the secret bureau, Chen Yang was a genius who appeared out of nowhere, so it was inevitable to investigate.
After that, during the al, they didn’t discuss other topics but focused on tomorrow’s auction situation.
According to Lisa’s introduction, such cultivator auctions are held twice a year.
Whenever the auction approaches, many cultivator activities appear in the provincial city.
After all, it’s considered a major gathering. Cultivators from neighboring cities or large families will bring items to auction.
Or, if soone gets wind of sothing they want to buy, they will co to the provincial city to attend the auction.
"By the way, usually on the night before the auction, there’s a black market trade event on an old street in the northern city. Are you interested? If you are, we can go after dinner, what do you think?"
The conversation had almost wrapped up when Lisa suddenly rembered this and suggested they check it out.
During the earlier chat, Chen Yang already got a basic understanding of the auction, and his interest in this black market was piqued.
"Yeah, let’s go have a look, it’ll help get familiar with the process." Chen Yang agreed imdiately.
"Alright, after eating, we’ll head over. The black market is different from the auction; there are no strict rules, just business dealings, and as long as we don’t provoke anyone, we’re fine." Lisa said.
"Yeah." Chen Yang nodded twice in agreent, saying nothing more.
They quickly finished eating, with Lisa imdiately calling over the waiter to settle the bill.
"Good day, sir and madam, your total is three thousand yuan." The waiter smiled slightly, holding out the receipt.
"Alright."
Lisa, without hesitation, took out her phone to pay.
Seeing this, Chen Yang stopped her: "Let pay."
"Last ti, we agreed that after finding the Coiling Dragon Root, I’d properly thank you, so this one’s on ." Before Chen Yang could insist, Lisa seriously insisted on paying.
Since she said that, naturally, Chen Yang didn’t continue to be polite.
"Alright, you pay then."
Chen Yang chuckled, not insisting further.
"Okay." Lisa smiled and nodded, then transferred the appropriate amount.
After settling the bill, the two left the restaurant together.
They got into Chen Yang’s car and headed to the black market.
On the way there, Chen Yang assud the cultivator trades would be extrely concealed.
Unexpectedly, Lisa directly guided them to the city center.
And they stopped on the bustling central street of the provincial city.
"Is the black market really on this central street?" Chen Yang stopped the car, looking at Lisa in surprise.
Lisa smiled slightly, saying, "Of course not, get out of the car and follow ."
Saying so, Lisa stepped out of the car first.
Seeing this, Chen Yang imdiately followed.
With full of curiosity, he walked with Lisa for a while on the central street.
This central street is the most bustling and lively street in the provincial city.
People co and go on the street, very lively.
Walking along the street for a few minutes, Lisa suddenly turned into an alley.
Seeing this, Chen Yang imdiately followed.
This alley is very old-fashioned, with a distinct feeling of age.
It’s just a few ters from the bustling central street.
Yet, upon entering the alley, it felt like stepping into another world, contrasting sharply with the bright lights and bustle outside.
It’s quiet and dim here, unlike the brightly lit and bustling outside.
Initial steps into the alley showed hardly anyone.
But after walking dozens to hundreds of ters along the alley, it suddenly widened to around four or five ters.
And with the alley widening, so mysteriously secretive figures began moving around within.
There were also many people sitting on the ground along the sides of the alley, with all sorts of items displayed before them!
All cultivators!
Upon entering here, Chen Yang imdiately sensed the presence of those people.
They were all cultivators, and their realms weren’t low, mostly in the late Body Refining stage, with so masters of the Xuan Strength Realm.
