Tan Xiu was clueless about Gu Changmin's plan. At this moment, he was looking at the guests coming in from the outside, many of whom were familiar faces. This situation made him secretly look forward to the next auction. Generally, the items auctioned in such a high-grade auction were very precious. Maybe there would be one or two things that were useful to him.
"There are really a lot of people coming to the auction."
Although Ouyang Lulu saw a lot of acquaintances, she didn't get up to greet them. With Tan Xiu at her side, she didn't want to talk to others.
"Some business celebrities from several nearby cities also came to participate," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "Also, there should be some people from the Occult Doors. Just the ones who have arrived already know martial arts."
Ouyang Lulu was surprised and asked, "Why would people from the Occult Doors come to join in the fun? Don't tell me there are magic weapons they can use in the auction? "
"Who knows!" Tan Xiu chuckled. "However, people from the Occult Doors hide in the city and live the same life as ordinary people. Only under special circumstances will they reveal their identity. Usually, these kinds of people have very powerful abilities. "
"That's true." Ouyang Lulu nodded. "People from the Occult Doors have special skills. They have their own ways and channels if they want to seek wealth. They can get a lot of funds with just a little bit of means. Furthermore, people from the Occult Doors also have their own social network and social circles. Some of them who are businessmen have joined hands to seek profits in various industries. "
"Like your Ouyang Family?" Tan Xiu chuckled.
"That's right." Ouyang Lulu smiled and said, "The Ouyang Family did have a lot of shady means when they started their business. Later on, the family continued to grow and slowly washed their name to become a proper merchant family. However, more than half of Jingmen Island's underground world is still controlled by our Ouyang Family. "
Tan Xiu smiled and was about to speak when a familiar face suddenly appeared in his line of sight. It was Ji Mu from Changxi City's Ji Family.
"What's up?"
Ouyang Lulu noticed Tan Xiu's strange expression and immediately followed his gaze and asked.
"I just found a friend from Changxi City," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile.
"Good relationship?" Ouyang Lulu asked.
Tan Xiu thought for a moment and said, "It's alright! His character was good, and his temper was to my taste. In addition, this kid is also a cultivator, but I didn't expect that he would actually break through to the Qi Refinement Realm in such a short period of time. Moreover, it's the middle stage of Qi Refinement. "
Ouyang Lulu curled her lips and disdainfully said, "He's just at the middle stage of Qi Refining. I can poke him to death with just a finger."
Tan Xiu couldn't help laughing and said, "He started cultivating much later than you, Lulu. Moreover, you have the assistance of the cultivation resources that I gave you, but he doesn't. Everything is based on one's own efforts. True essence is cultivated bit by bit. "
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Lulu immediately nodded and no longer looked at him with a contemptuous attitude.
Tan Xiu smiled and said, "I'll ask him to come and sit with us."
Then, his lips moved slightly, and a sound wave was transmitted.
In the auction hall.
Ji Mu was accompanying a silver-haired old lady with a very respectful expression on his face. Suddenly, a voice rang out by his ear, causing him to be stunned. He turned his head to look around, and when he saw a person with a familiar appearance, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this person before, waving at him, a sense of mystery arose in his heart.
'Who is he?'
Ji Mu thought for a while and then approached the silver-haired old lady and whispered, "Grandma, I'm going to see someone. Would you like to find a place to sit first?"
The silver-haired old lady had a kind and amiable expression. A smile appeared on her face as she gently nodded and smilingly said, "You youngsters have your own circle, so you don't need to accompany this old lady. I'm going back to the north after attending the auction today. "
Ji Mu was shaken inwardly and asked with a bit of reluctance, "Grandma, can't you stay in Changxi for a while? During this period of time, I have been by your side, asking you for advice on cultivation, and I have benefited a lot. I haven't had the time to take care of you for a while. "
The silver-haired old lady said with a smile, "Even if we get together, we still have to part ways. I haven't seen your grandma for more than a decade. I didn't expect that we would be separated by heaven and earth. I've been in Changxi for some time now, so it's time for me to go back to the north. Else, those brats at home will definitely cause a ruckus. "
Ji Mu helplessly nodded and said in a low voice, "Then I'll go greet my friend first, Grandma. I'll come back to you later."
The silver-haired old lady slowly nodded and said with a smile, "Go ahead!"
Ji Mu slightly nodded in response. He then turned around and walked towards Tang Xiu's direction. Although he really wanted this formidable mother-in-law in the cultivation world to stay, he could only endure the reluctance to see her off since she insisted on leaving. However, the voice just now was very strange. It directly appeared in his ears instead of calling out to him, which made him secretly startled.
But …
He really didn't know this familiar person, yet he couldn't recall where he had seen him!
"Friend, you called me?"
Ji Mu came to Tan Xiu and cupped his fists. However, his pupils suddenly contracted when his eyes fell on Ouyang Lulu beside Tan Xiu.
Tan Xiu pointed to the empty seat next to him and smilingly said, "It's me, Ji Mu. It's just that I don't want to be recognized, so I changed my face. "
A pleasantly surprised look appeared on Ji Mu's face. After nodding to Ouyang Lulu, he quickly sat on the other side of Tan Xiu and excitedly said, "Brother Tang, I didn't expect to meet you here. To be honest, your disguise technique is really amazing. Although I felt that you looked familiar, I really couldn't recognize your identity."
"It's just a small trick," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "But you're pretty good! You actually broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining in such a short time. If my guess is correct, the old lady beside you should have given you a lot of pointers, right? "
"Yeah!" Ji Mu nodded. "Grandma Zui Ying indeed gave me a lot of pointers and benefited me a lot."
Not far away.
The silver-haired old lady casually found an empty seat and sat down. Her tranquil eyes glanced at Ji Mu's direction and was about to retract her gaze when her expression slightly changed all of a sudden. Her eyes then landed on Tan Xiu, who was beside Ji Mu.
"That's …"
The silver-haired old lady observed with rapt attention. A few seconds later, her body slightly trembled and a look of ecstasy appeared on her face. Almost without hesitation, she stood up and walked toward Tan Xiu's direction. When she came before Tan Xiu, she ignored Ji Mu, bowed and said, "Is it really you, Mr. Tang?"
Tan Xiu got up and smilingly said, "It seems that you recognized me. Did you just come from the Himalayas? "
"I've been here for some time. The war situation there is going smoothly, so I wanted to take advantage of this trip from my home in the North to visit my old sister in Changxi City," said the silver-haired old lady excitedly. "I didn't expect that my old sister had passed away more than a decade ago."
"Don't be so formal. Let's sit down and talk!" Tan Xiu said with a smile.
"Alright!"
Under Ji Mu's dumbfounded expression, the silver-haired old lady softly asked, "Can I sit in your seat?"
Ji Mu sobered up from his daze and hurriedly gave up his seat, saying, "Sure, sure. Please have a seat, Grandma."
After the silver-haired old lady took a seat, she said in a soft voice, "Mr. Tang, I thought that it would be very difficult to see you again in this life ever since we parted ways in the Himalayas. Never did I expect that I would bump into you here. Those old geezers would definitely envy me to death if they knew about this. "
"It's nothing." Tan Xiu waved his hand and said, "We're all fellow Daoists in the cultivation world, so it's very easy to meet each other if you want to. It's just that I didn't expect that you would be together with this Ji Mu brat. "
"Ji Mu's grandmother and I are old sisters who grew up together," said the silver-haired old lady. "I came to Changxi this time to see her!"
"If my guess is correct, Ji Mu's grandmother should be a cultivator, right?" Tan Xiu said with a smile. "It's just that I find it strange that none of the younger generations of the Ji Family obtained the inheritance."
The silver-haired old lady shook her head and said, "I don't know about the specific reason. Perhaps my old sister felt that her grandson was the only outstanding one in the Ji Family, so she only imparted the cultivation technique to him! "
Ji Mu, who was sitting next to the silver-haired old lady, hurriedly said, "Grandma, it's not my grandmother who imparted the cultivation technique to me, but Brother Tang."
The silver-haired old lady stared blankly and immediately asked in surprise, "It's Mr. Tang who imparted the cultivation technique to you? The relationship between the two of you … "
"Ji Mu and I are friends," said Tan Xiu with a smile.
Ji Mu's spirit was shaken upon hearing this. At this moment, how could he not see that this mother-in-law of his, whom he greatly worshipped, was very respectful to Tan Xiu? It was as if Tan Xiu was her elder. It was precisely because of this that Tan Xiu had a higher position in his heart.
The silver-haired old lady nodded with a smile. She then turned to look at Ji Mu and sighed, "Little Mu! Having a friend like Mr. Tang is simply a blessing accumulated in your previous life. You must seek guidance from Mr. Tang in the future. He can definitely make you more outstanding. "
"Alright!"
Ji Mu looked at Tan Xiu with fiery eyes. However, he still asked the question in his heart, "Grandma, haven't you been away from the North for a long time? How did you get to know Brother Tang? Also, what's the situation in the Himalayas you just mentioned? "
The silver-haired old lady glanced at Tan Xiu and then shook her head without a word.
"It's nothing, actually," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile. "We fought side by side and fought some demonic beasts for a while. You're too weak, so don't ask about the things over there. Wait until you break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage or the Golden Core Stage, then go there to gain some experience! "
Demonic beasts?
Ji Mu was shaken inwardly. He knew that Tan Xiu and Grandma Zui Ying were very powerful. He didn't know about Tan Xiu's cultivation, but he knew that Tan Xiu was very powerful. But Grandma Zui Ying was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, a very powerful existence.
