Archaeology is archaeology, why dig me up?

Chapter 55 Situ Yunpo

The newcomer was dressed in a black suit, had long hair, and an arrogant look in his eyes.

His powerful aura made people around him instinctively make way for him.

"Look, it's Situ Yunpo."

"My idol."

"Wow... I wish I could marry him."

Many of the beautiful women from the families in the crowd looked at Situ Yunpo with eyes that seemed to want to push him down immediately.

It can be said that marrying into the Situ family is the dream of many wealthy women.

They were already from a wealthy family, but compared to the Situ family, they were almost no different from ordinary people.

"Young Master, the auction will begin in half an hour."

"Shall I take you to a private room to rest for a bit?"

The auction staff greeted Situ Yunpo proactively upon seeing him, and their attitude towards him was noticeably different.

"Okay, lead the way."

Situ Yunpo spoke in a cold tone. As he passed by Gu Lingchen and the others, he suddenly stopped, glanced at Gu Lingchen, and frowned slightly.

He had never met Gu Lingchen, nor did he know that the person in front of him was the target he had hired An Yu to assassinate.

For some reason, Situ Yunpo just felt that this person gave him a very dangerous feeling.

Having met countless people, this was the first time he had ever felt this way.

"Hehe, Third Young Master, I didn't expect you to come in person today."

"Looks like there are some good items at today's auction."

Bai Renjie walked up to Situ Yunpo and didn't dare to speak too loudly.

"What, Bai Renjie, can't I come?" Situ Yunpo replied coldly.

"Yes, hehe, of course you can."

"Please, Third Young Master. Today I'll get to see the world again with you."

"Pooh."

"Sycophant."

Zhou Nan disliked Bai Renjie the most for being a bully who preyed on the weak.

"Grandmaster, let's go in too."

"Okay, let's go."

"Sword Invincible, are you saying that the person who issued the assassination mission against me in your Dark Rain faction is from the Situ family?"

"Yes, brother."

"I don't know who it is specifically, and I never care who the employer is."

"As long as the money is there, it's fine."

"Hi, beautiful, can I exchange contact information?"

While responding to Gu Lingchen, Jian Wudi didn't forget to flirt with the beautiful women walking by.

However, the other party completely ignored him.

....

In the underground headquarters of Anyu in the western suburbs of Yanjing, the Second Protector sat in front of the computer with a furrowed brow.

"You mean Jian Wudi has appeared in Yanjing?"

"And he was even seen with the target?"

Upon hearing this, the two protectors fell into deep thought.

"Sword Invincible always executes missions swiftly and decisively, and will contact us immediately regardless of success or failure."

"Never before have we lost contact with them like this."

"Could it be that the target is too troublesome, and he wants to get to know him first before launching a surprise attack?"

"This... Second Protector, this subordinate does not understand what Mr. Jian means."

"Forget it, time is running out. Send someone to contact Jian Wudi and ask if he needs any help."

"Now that he's already in Yanjing, we must make sure he stays here permanently."

"After you've finished dealing with this, have Jian Wudi return immediately. We, Dark Rain, have a big deal to do tomorrow."

"Yes, Second Protector."

The auction started promptly at 8 p.m.

The auction on the second floor of the InterContinental Hotel was packed with people. The lobby was over a thousand square meters, and the attic also occupied several hundred square meters.

An elderly man stepped onto the stage, scanned the crowd, and then laughed loudly, "Welcome everyone to today's auction."

"I am Yin Song, and I believe many of you here know me."

"I won't go into the rules, everyone understands."

"Then let the auction begin."

"There's bound to be something good this year. I never expected the host to be Master Yin."

There were many people discussing the old man backstage.

"Now, let's bring out our first item, the Flying Snow Sword."

A woman in a cheongsam walked onto the stage carrying a long, pure white sword. The entire audience was in an uproar upon seeing the sword.

"The Flying Snow Sword? That was the sword of a Celestial Realm expert back then."

"It is said that when this senior wielded this sword, snow fell all over the city, hence the name Flying Snow."

"But unfortunately, it seems that this senior colleague eventually passed away."

"Hehe," Yin Song on the stage smiled after hearing the discussions below.

"That's right, the Flying Snow Sword is forged from millennia-old cold iron."

"With the addition of some special techniques, it is indeed possible to achieve the magnificent scene of snow covering the entire city."

"A top-quality sword is something you can only come across once in a lifetime."

"Starting price: 50 million; each bid must be at least 10 million higher."

"Please begin placing your bids."

"I'll offer 80 million."

Zhou Nan's voice suddenly rang out from the private room on the second floor, and it was clear that she really liked the sword.

"Grandmaster, I want to bid on this sword and wait for you to teach me the Soaring Dragon Sword Technique."

"hey-hey."

"Eighty million? My goodness, Miss Zhou Nan, so you're quite the little rich girl?"

Jian Wudi stared at Zhou Nan in shock, mentally adding points for Zhou Nan.

Being ugly but rich is a plus; being ugly and poor is a minus.

She's beautiful and rich, so I'd give her a big thumbs up.

This is the standard by which Jian Wudi judges his subjects.

"It came from the Zhou family's private room."

"Sigh... 80 million, buying this sword is not a bad deal."

There has always been an unwritten rule at the auction: as long as someone from one of the four major families makes a bid, no one below dares to compete with them.

Even if we could snatch it, we would still indirectly offend the four major families.

"I'll offer 100 million."

Just when everyone thought the Flying Snow Sword would be won by the Zhou family, Bai Renjie's voice rang out from the Bai family's private room.

"Heh, why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Don't you think this sword is a better match for me?"

"I'm going to take it with me tomorrow to face the warriors of the Sakura Kingdom."

"No, no, we feel that this sword is simply tailor-made for you, Young Master Bai."

"Tomorrow, Young Master Bai will definitely be able to use this sword to dominate the stage."

Whenever they get the chance, someone will flatter White Jay.

"White Jay, are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"

"asshole….."

Although Zhou Nan is not short of money, she still wants to bid for a Breaking Void Pill today, and she also plans to bid for a treasure that Gu Lingchen likes.

So she has too much money to spend as she pleases.

Although the Flying Snow Sword is precious, its price of 100 million yuan has already exceeded its value. According to market prices, the price of a top-quality sword is between 50 million and 100 million yuan.

"Grandmaster, what should we do? If we're talking about wealth, I definitely can't beat the Bai family."

"That bastard."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingchen glanced at Bai Renjie next door, then smiled faintly and said, "You really like this sword?"

"Yes, Master, I like it very much."

"Yes, as long as you like it."

"Let him keep it for you for two days. I'll find a way to get him to give you the Snow White Sword on his own initiative."

"What? Really?"

Zhou Nan beamed with joy.

Not only do you not spend money, you can also get something for free. Who wouldn't be happy about that?
