Xin Yue Hotel, a name well-known and needs no further introduction.
The reason Zhang Tian came here was simple: to see when the auction would be held and if he could participate.
Upon entering the hotel, the interior was even more opulent.
It looked like a small palace.
The security inside was extremely tight.
Among them, Zhang Tian even saw a familiar figure. He didn't know when "Little Ge" had infiltrated the security personnel.
"Hmm, still so handsome."
Looking at the sharp, experienced figure in a suit, Zhang Tian gave an appreciative glance.
My sexual orientation is normal; I can't be lusting after that Little Ge!
"Hello sir, is there anything you need?"
As soon as Zhang Tian entered, a waitress approached.
The waitress wore a qipao, exuding a retro charm.
"Hello, I am Zhang Tian, from Zhang's Antique Shop. I would like to cooperate with you and sell some items at the auction."
Zhang Tian said with a smile, his voice very respectful.
Although they were subordinates, Xin Yue Hotel might still have experts.
Therefore, Zhang Tian was very cautious.
"An auction, I'm afraid we only accept specific items. Moreover, if you wish to participate in the auction, you can simply present your items during the auction. If they are appealing, the auctioneer can directly add them to the auction list."
The woman said.
The implication was clear: we don't want trash, and you can't just meet the manager whenever you please.
Go where you belong.
Zhang Tian did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and nodded gently.
"I understand, thank you."
Zhang Tian said, then turned and left under the waitress's gaze.
After Zhang Tian left, in a hidden room, a white-haired elder watched Zhang Tian's retreating figure.
"Bei Li City, when did such a person appear? His body is actually flowing with an aura."
The white-haired elder murmured, his eyes filled with surprise.
He also had some admiration for Zhang Tian.
If Zhang Tian were of the same age and possessed such strength, he would undoubtedly be arrogant. Yet, Zhang Tian showed none of it. Instead, he kept a very low profile.
Such a person would definitely become a significant figure in the future.
The elder withdrew his gaze and did not look further.
Zhang Tian soon left Xin Yue Hotel. His eyes darted around, and he decided to visit the Wu family.
Since he wanted the jade pendant, Zhang Tian naturally intended to harvest some "leeks."
After Zhang Tian left, "Little Ge's" gaze fell upon the door.
His eyes were deep, and his expression was calm.
Zhang Tian went home to retrieve the previous jade pendant and the porcelain vase, then headed directly towards the Wu family.
The jade pendant no longer contained any cultivation techniques, so Zhang Tian planned to trick Wu Tian Zhen (Wu Xie) first.
The Wu family was not too far from Zhang Tian's antique shop.
It only took a little over thirty minutes to get there.
Perhaps due to the world's interconnectedness, the Wu family and most of the Nine Gates of Old Changsha were now in Bei Li.
And they each had corresponding influences.
The Wu family was one of these influential families.
When Zhang Tian arrived at the entrance, he was stopped by the gatekeepers.
After stating his name and purpose, the gatekeepers finally allowed Zhang Tian to enter the Wu family compound.
Soon, led by someone, Zhang Tian was brought to a guest room.
Inside, all the important people were present.
They seemed to be discussing something with great excitement, but upon seeing Zhang Tian enter, they stopped talking.
Zhang Tian recognized them, but these people knew nothing about him, so Zhang Tian had an absolute advantage.
Moreover, Third Uncle was much like he was in the television series, very mysterious. Zhang Tian felt a sense of pressure from him.
"Young Master Wu, we meet again."
Zhang Tian took a breath, calmed his mind, and sat down with a smile.
He paid no attention to the onlookers and directly took a seat.
Third Uncle frowned slightly. The Wu family had been in seclusion for so many years, and the title "Young Master Wu" was known only to insiders. How did Zhang Tian know it?
Instantly, Wu San Sheng became serious.
This man before him was extraordinary.
"Haha, Young Master Zhang, you've finally arrived. Please, sit down."
Wu Xie said, but Zhang Tian had already taken a seat.
Wu Xie was speechless, rubbed his cheek, and didn't know what to say.
"How do you know of the Master?"
Third Uncle looked at Zhang Tian and spoke.
His eyes were sharp and somewhat piercing.
"Haha, you must be Third Uncle. My name is Zhang Tian. In the past, my father visited Old Changsha, so I am aware of the important figures there."
"It is my honor to meet Third Uncle."
Zhang Tian smiled, then stood up and extended his hand.
Wu San Sheng smiled.
"Haha, so that's how it is. I didn't expect us to be from the same generation. I've heard of you. There aren't many people left in our Wu family."
Third Uncle said, and shook Zhang Tian's hand.
He suddenly applied force, and Zhang Tian, seeing this, quietly exerted his own strength.
He subtly neutralized Third Uncle's force.
This made Wu San Sheng's heart skip a beat.
He was now certain that Zhang Tian was also a martial artist, and his cultivation was no less than his own!
Instantly, Wu San Sheng's gaze towards Zhang Tian changed.
So young, with cultivation comparable to his own, it seemed this Young Master Zhang's family was not to be trifled with.
Perhaps what lay hidden behind them was no less than the Wu family.
"Haha, it is truly an honor for the Wu family to have Brother Zhang visit. We won't engage in pleasantries."
Wu San Sheng said, looking at Zhang Tian.
He no longer intended to insist on the jade pendant. Since Zhang Tian possessed cultivation, it meant he might know something about the jade pendant.
If he knew about the jade pendant and came to sell it, it was clearly unreliable.
"I heard from Young Master Wu that he wants this vase and the jade pendant inside. Coincidentally, I plan to sell them."
Zhang Tian said, looking at Wu Tian Zhen.
"Great! Give it to me, we'll take it!"
Before Third Uncle could speak, Wu Xie eagerly took the vase. Inside was indeed a jade pendant.
Wu Tian Zhen was ecstatic. He had finally obtained the legendary jade pendant his Third Uncle had spoken of.
"Then you can't go back on your word."
Zhang Tian said.
Wu Tian Zhen immediately nodded. Third Uncle was utterly speechless.
"You kid, I'm convinced."
Third Uncle cursed internally, but Wu Xie had already accepted it, and he couldn't say anything more.
After all, they were the ones who asked for it. If they went back on their word now, not only would they offend someone, but their reputation would also suffer.
"Alright, Third Uncle, shall we proceed with the payment?"
Zhang Tian didn't give them a chance to reconsider.
He had already revealed his abilities during Wu San Sheng's test. Facing such an old fox.
Zhang Tian had to speed things up, or he wouldn't be able to sell it.
Fortunately, he had Wu Tian Zhen, the great "sucker."
"Uh, alright. Three million, right?"
Third Uncle lowered his head.
"Hey? Third Uncle, wasn't it five million?"
Wu Tian Zhen blinked.
Third Uncle took a deep breath.
"It's fine, three million is acceptable. Consider it making a friend. We are acquainted now."
Zhang Tian said generously.
"Really? Thank you, Young Master Zhang. I treated you so poorly before, yet you are so generous."
Wu Tian Zhen said, and Zhang Tian nodded, very satisfied.
He was extremely satisfied with Wu Tian Zhen.
Truly a young sprout who has surpassed the old.
"Swish, swish."
Third Uncle wasted no time and handed Zhang Tian the check, his heart bleeding.
"Haha, happy cooperation. I won't disturb you any further. Third Uncle, let's have a drink sometime."
Zhang Tian waved his hand and then strode away.
"Third Uncle, this Young Master Zhang is not to be judged by his appearance. I used to think he was a shameless profiteer, but I didn't expect him to be so generous."
Wu Tian Zhen lamented.
Third Uncle: "?????"
(Changed to Wu Tian Zhen to avoid potential issues.)
