Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Lining Up For The Auction

"I already suspected Xifeng to be a girl before she treated her treatment on me." Ruan Chu smiled.

"Oh..." Bai Xifeng was genuinely surprised. "How do you know?"

Everyone was also curious about that.

"When Xifeng checked my pulse, her hand was touching me. I was surprised because her hand felt soft. It was like a girl’s hand.

After talking about my illness, Xifeng seemed to know more about a girl’s body than I do. Only a woman could contract my illness. My suspicion was confirmed when I accidentally barged into the room when she was bathing.

Xifeng seemed to be tired on that day probably because of her work. So, she did not notice me. I left the room in a hurry." Ruan Chu smiled.

Everyone was focusing on Ruan Chu’s story. They did not notice the blushing Ning Shoukai. Ning Shoukai was the one who barged into Bai Xifeng’s room and saw Bai Xifeng’s body. He was afraid that someone would notice his red face. So, he wanted to leave them first to calm down.

"I will go to the toilet first." Ning Shoukai announced and left without anyone’s response.

Ning Zhaofeng rolled his eyes while looking at his son. "He probably has a problem with his bowl."

Ruan Chu just smiled as she watched her son leave. She knew why her son left.

"Anyway, everyone, thank you for looking after me when I was vulnerable. I really appreciated that." Bai Xifeng bowed down and thanked them from the bottom of her heart.

"That is nothing for what you have done to our family. If you need help in the future, I swear that I will help you." Xie Yaoting said.

"That’s right! You can count on us." Ning Zhaofeng said.

....

The auction which would be held at Shanghai Pavillion at Nanning City Branch spread widely. Everyone was excited to join the auction after the words about the breakthrough pills would also be auctioned at this auction.

It even attracted others from the nearby cities. They wanted to join the auction as well. They came to Nanning City to purchase the entrance ticket for the auction.

Si Yingjie was happy to see the cash flow that coming in. Having an excellent alchemist or pharmacist was indeed good for the business. If only Lord Long Feng stayed at Nanning City and provided the goods for them, he would be happy.

However, he knew from his cousin, Si Ji Huang that he should not get in the wrong of Lord Long Feng. It would be bad for them. He found out that Lord Long Feng had a good relationship with Ning Shoukai’s family and Xie Lanying’s family.

It was not like he investigated Bai Xifeng. It was pure coincidence. He saw them together before he came to hand over the goods. When Si Yingjie asked his staff, they told him that the boy and girl were Ning Shoukai and Xie Lanying.

The day of the auction finally arrived. Shanghai Pavillion began to receive its guests. It was the same at the Capital City Branch. When the auction day arrived, there would be some people who controlled the entrance. The guests needed to behave. Otherwise, they would be banned from entering the auction.

Ning Shoukai and Ning Zhaofeng were lining up waiting for their turns to enter the venue. They were minding their own business until someone came and disturbed their peace.

"Oh, look who’s here."

Ning Zhaofeng and Ning Shoukai turned around and saw Ning Donghai, Ning Huizhong, and Ning Zhilan.

"Is this the ungrateful brother of mine? So, you decide to join the auction." Ning Donghai said.

"Ungrateful brother? I don’t think that name is suitable for me. It is more suitable to call you by that name. What do you think?" Ning Zhaofeng sarcastically replied.

"How dare you call me that? You are an ungrateful brat. Father offered for your family to come back but you have the nerve to refuse." Ning Donghai said.

"Humph... No need. I don’t need to come back. My family can survive and stand by ourselves." Ning Zhaofeng said. He seemed to remember someone. "I never thought that you had money to join the auction. Have you brought enough? I hope you bring a lot." He taunted Ning Donghai.

Ning Donghai wanted to slap Ning Zhaofeng. How dare Ning Zhaofeng mock him like that?

"Fourth Uncle, you need to worry about that. My father will definitely get the breakthrough pills. We need them since we are going to Sky Clear Realm. Oh, Shoukai, it is a pity that you would not be able to participate in the exploration." Ning Huizhong mocked Ning Shoukai.

Ning Donghai listened to this, turned his expression and smiled widely. He turned his eyes to Ning Shoukai. "That’s right. Shoukai, you should blame your father. Because of him, you can not go to Sky Clear Realm. If he is not stubborn and comes back to our family, you will be able to join us."

"First of all, Ning Huizhong, you should not call my father, Fourth Uncle. We are not a family anymore. As for going to the Sky Clear Realm, you should go. Otherwise, how can you improve your cultivation and strength?" Ning Shoukai mocked Ning Huizhong for being weak.

Ning Huizhong was angry when he heard Ning Shoukai’s reply. He hated being called weak, especially from Ning Shoukai. He had been compared to Ning Shoukai for his whole life.
