Chapter 416: Chapter 416: The Center of Attention

"My legs are attached to my body, why shouldn’t I be able to walk out? But let me remind you, take a look at what you’re holding in your hands first?"

Ling Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing that, Manager Wang instinctively looked at the object in his hands.

"An invitation?"

His gaze fell upon the invitation and he immediately recognized it.

However, he looked at Ling Chen and sneered, "Everyone who can attend the auction has an invitation. Did you really think that a mere invitation could save you?"

"Come, seize these two men!"

Manager Wang ordered coldly.

"Yes."

Immediately, four guards at the seventh level of the Primordial Pill Realm rushed over and surrounded Ling Chen and his companion.

Just then, a beautiful woman walked into the entrance of the auction house and smiled, "Zi Family Master, please come to the second floor!"

"Hmm."

Six men with purple hair walked in.

"It’s the people from the Zi Family!"

Everyone’s gaze grew intense as they looked towards the six men.

The second floor was all private boxes.

Only members of the Eight Great Families and the Royal Family had the privilege to enter.

The beautiful woman was about to head to the second floor when she suddenly sensed an intense atmosphere in the hall.

When her gaze fell on Ling Chen, her face changed dramatically.

"Zi Family, please hold on, I’ll handle this."

The beautiful woman quickly said.

"Lady Shuyu, we are very familiar with each other, I can go up by myself."

Zi Family Master said with a smile.

This woman was named Su Shuyu.

She was an Elder of the Zhou Tian Trading Company, in charge of receiving VIP guests.

"Thank you, Zi Family Master, for your understanding."

Su Shuyu smiled.

Then, she hastily made her way towards where Ling Chen was.

"What are you doing? All of you back off!"

Su Shuyu ordered coldly.

She recognized that Ling Chen and his companion were VIP guests personally invited by the chairman.

How could the Trading Company’s guards dare lay hands on these two?

"Elder Su!"

Manager Wang addressed Su Shuyu respectfully, "These two deliberately disrupted the auction’s order and even resorted to violence——"

But before he could finish,

Su Shuyu’s figure flashed, appearing right in front of Manager Wang, and with a slap across his face, she coldly exclaimed, "Have you gone blind as a dog?"

Afterward, Su Shuyu turned around, bowed respectfully to Ling Chen, and said, "Young Master, my subordinates were ignorant and have offended you. Please forgive us, we will immediately chop this person up and feed him to the dogs!"

"What?"

The cultivators in the auction house were instantly dumbfounded.

It was clear that Ling Chen had insulted Manager Wang, yet Elder Su not only did not punish Ling Chen but also was going to kill Manager Wang?

"Elder Su..."

Manager Wang was also staring at Su Shuyu in total confusion.

"What, you don’t listen to the Elder’s words anymore?"

Su Shuyu’s eyes bore into the four guards sharply.

"Yes!"

The four guards promptly responded.

They then moved to capture Manager Wang!

Su Shuyu’s expression finally softened a bit, and she looked at Ling Chen with a smile, "Young Master, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

"Hmm, not bad."

Ling Chen nodded.

At this moment, Manager Wang finally realized.

Ling Chen and his companion were guests received by Elder Su; weren’t they the most honored guests of the Trading Company?

As this thought crossed his mind, Manager Wang broke out in a cold sweat and immediately knelt down, kowtowing as he said, "Young Master, it was my dog eyes looking down on others, please forgive me!"

Everyone was utterly flabbergasted.

Previously, Ling Chen had said that Manager Wang might end up kneeling and begging him to stay, and now it had all come true.

Ling Chen walked over, crouched down, stared at Manager Wang, and said with a smile, "Didn’t I tell you before not to regret? Do you regret it now?"

"Young Master, I was blind to have not recognized you; you must forgive me!"

Manager Wang pleaded.

Elder Su’s words about chopping and feeding to dogs weren’t said in jest.

She really might do it.

"I must forgive you? Who do you think you are?"

Ling Chen scoffed before walking towards Gu Xuanwu.

At this moment, Gu Xuanwu’s face had turned pale green.

Merely over a seat, had they offended the most esteemed guest of the Zhou Tian Trading Company?

But who knew that someone of such status would sit in the hall—shouldn’t he be in the private rooms upstairs?

Before Ling Chen could speak, Elder Su walked over.

How could she not see that this disturbance was certainly caused by someone from the Gu Family?

"Gu Family Master, please leave, our Zhou Tian Trading Company does not welcome you!"

Elder Su said coldly.

"Yes, yes, we’ll leave right away!"

Gu Xuanwu, looking terrified after glancing at Ling Chen, quickly led the Gu Family away in disarray.

"Gu Family, is it?"

"Very well, I’ll be sure to visit in the future!"

Hearing the voice behind him, Gu Xuanwu stumbled and nearly fell.

"Is this Young Master Lingchen?"

At this time, the Zi Family Master walked over and said to Ling Chen with a smile.

"Yes, Zi Family Master!"

Ling Chen immediately paid his respects.

He had good relations with Zi Tiange, Zi Lingyang, and others from the Zi Family.

Naturally, he would not neglect the Zi Family Master.

Upon hearing this, Zi Family Master nodded his head in satisfaction and praised, "Young Master Ling, you truly stand out from the rest!"

"Zi Family Master, you flatter me!"

Ling Chen said with a smile.

"What, he is Young Master Lingchen?"

"The unparalleled genius from the Academic Palace?"

"He really killed Elder Ye Fan who was at the eighth level of the Primordial Pill Realm?"

"Seriously, it’s the recently famous Young Master Ling?"

...

The crowd exclaimed in surprise.

If you talked about who had the most buzz recently, it was none other than Ling Chen.

Even the Crown Prince couldn’t hold a candle to Ling Chen’s limelight!

A fourth level of Primordial Pill Realm defeating the eighth level, that was a miracle!

"Young Master Ling?"

Su Shuyu also finally realized.

No wonder Ling Chen received the president’s personal invitation; he had such an identity!

As for Manager Wang who heard Ling Chen’s name, his face instantly turned ashen.

Not to mention Ling Chen’s strength was above his own.

Even if it weren’t, the president would most likely capture him personally and deliver him to Ling Chen for disposal.

With that thought, Manager Wang fainted on the spot.

"Young Master Ling, shall we go to the private room upstairs?"

Zi Family Master asked.

Ling Chen shook his head and declined, "No need, I still prefer the atmosphere here in the hall."

"Very well."

Zi Family Master nodded, looked at Su Shuyu, and said, "Lady Shuyu, let’s also take a seat downstairs."

"Ah?"

Su Shuyu looked astonished, but then quickly came to her senses and hastily nodded, "Alright."

It seems that Young Master Lingchen has considerable influence!

Even the esteemed Zi Family was willing to give up their private room to sit with him for his sake.

Subsequently, members of the other Great Families arrived quickly.

They, of course, also heard the news of Ling Chen appearing at the auction event, so almost without exception, they sat next to Ling Chen.

Only the Royal Family and the Jiang Family headed to the private rooms.

Thus, the seats in front, behind, and to the sides of Ling Chen were occupied by people from the Seven Great Families.

For a time, Ling Chen became the most eye-catching person in the entire venue!
