The bidding for the last auction item, the Dragon Searching Plate, was very fierce. The price kept rising and was finally bought by the old man surnamed Zhu with a sky-high price of 3.2 billion yuan. This year's Imperial City Auction had officially come to an end.
Tan Xiu didn't participate in the bidding for the Dragon Searching Plate because he could have as many low-level magic tools as he wanted. There was no need for him to spend a lot of money to buy them. He was even confident that he would be able to refine such low-level magic tools when his cultivation was further improved.
However …
The emergence of the Dragon Searching Plate made him see a business opportunity. Such a low-level magic tool could be sold at a high price of 3.2 billion yuan. He silently pondered whether he should wait for his strength to improve and refine dozens of magic tools to be auctioned.
On the boat.
Li Laoshan grabbed Tan Xiu's shoulder and smilingly said, "Brother Tang, let's leave since the auction is over! I'm not interested in the banquet prepared by the Situ Family. "
Wang Daoyuan shot him a look and smilingly said, "Brother Li is right. The Situ Family will host a banquet to entertain the guests who participated in the black market auction. However, only a few pure businessmen will participate in this kind of occasion. Those who stay to attend the banquet are all strange and eccentric people. "
Strange and eccentric people?
Tan Xiu's expression moved and he suddenly said, "Two Brothers, I've just bought two items and I've spent almost all my money. Since someone is treating us tonight, let's save some money! I'll present Buddha with borrowed flowers. Let's drink at the banquet. What do you think? Of course, I'll bring Gods Nectar. There are two boxes of it in the trunk of my car. We'll drink one box tonight and take the other one with us when Brother Wang leaves. "
Wang Daoyuan's expression moved and he smilingly said, "Gods Nectar is the most precious gift nowadays. It seems like I've made a big profit today since I can get a box of it. Thanks a lot, Brother Tang. Then let's stay and attend the banquet arranged by the Situ Family tonight! "
Li Laoshan shrugged and smilingly said, "Since you're willing to stay, then I'll naturally do as I please. Brother Wang, although we had some conflicts before, it didn't affect us too much and we didn't suffer any losses. So, I think we'll get to know each other after a fight. Let's drink a few cups tonight. "
"Alright, I'll accompany you to the end."
Wang Daoyuan laughed loudly.
A small boat rowed through the narrow river passage. Ouyang Lulu, dressed in red, stood on the bow with a smile on her face. When the small boat approached Tan Xiu's boat, she directly stepped on the bow and jumped to Tan Xiu's side.
"My, Ouyang Lulu's, eyesight is indescribable. If I had to use a word to describe it, it would be: Amazing. Darling, I just found out that you're really resourceful. You can be seen in all kinds of big scenes. "Ouyang Lulu skillfully held Tan Xiu's wrist and said with a smile.
"Can you stop blowing your own trumpet?" Tan Xiu shook his head and laughed. Let's talk about something serious. Why did you come to the capital? And he even became the host and auctioneer of the Situ Clan's auction? "
Ouyang Lulu proudly said, "I, Ouyang Lulu, have magical abilities and boundless magical power. My fame has spread all over the country … no, it should be the whole world. The Situ Clan's Patriarch has good eyesight, so he naturally begged me to be the host and auctioneer of the auction. "
"Do you believe that I won't ignore you if you keep being so narcissistic?" Tan Xiu pretended to be angry.
Ouyang Lulu quickly waved her hand and said with a charming smile, "No, no, no. You really have no sense of humor. The current Patriarch of the Situ Clan, Situ Boyang, is my mother's godfather, so he's also my godgrandfather. In any case, our family's villa in Shanghai has opened for business, so I don't need to worry about the management, so I came to the capital. "
Tan Xiu suddenly understood and said with a smile, "Then, when are you going back to Shanghai?"
"Tomorrow morning!" Ouyang Lulu said. "That's right, when are you going back? It seems that you're going to start school tomorrow. "
"Well, I'm going to treat you to a meal tonight," Tan Xiu said with a smile. "And I'll hitch a ride with you to Shanghai tomorrow. Is that okay with you?"
Ouyang Lulu looked at Li Laoshan before shifting her eyes to Wang Daoyuan and Sujanin. She then nodded and said with a smile, "No problem! But you have to wait for me for a while. I'm going to greet my godgrandfather, and then we can go. "
"Where are we going?" Tan Xiu asked.
"Aren't we going to have dinner?" Asked Ouyang Lulu.
"We're staying to attend the Situ Family's banquet," Tan Xiu said with a smile.
Ouyang Lulu looked dazed for a moment before she happily said, "That's great. I'll introduce my godgrandfather to you. He knows you and is full of praise for you! "
"Hey, Ouyang Lulu, can you not always say 'we' and 'we'?" Tan Xiu was at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh. "That's your godgrandfather, it has nothing to do with me."
"It's all the same, it's all the same!"
Ouyang Lulu smiled like a flower and waved her hand. She immediately urged the staff to row the boat to the shore. Ouyang Lulu even shamelessly pestered Tan Xiu to ride his car and rush to the hotel where the Situ Family prepared the banquet.
Li Laoshan handed the Yuchang Sword he brought to the bodyguards and sent them away. Wang Daoyuan also did the same. After handing the sword to the bodyguards, he took Sujanin and Li Laoshan's car to the hotel. Originally, Sujanin didn't want to go to the banquet, but Wang Daoyuan knew that Sujanin was Tan Xiu's cousin. In order to get along better with Tan Xiu, he finally made Sujanin compromise.
At the Imperial Capital International Hotel.
The banquet was held by the Situ Family in the banquet hall on the 28th floor. Along with the end of the auction, many guests who participated in the auction had already rushed over. The entire banquet hall was decorated extravagantly. Soft crystal lamps illuminated every corner of the hall, while beautiful waiters and waitresses served wine and snacks on the dining tables. What surprised every guest who arrived was that there were two bottles of Gods Nectar on each table.
Next to the banquet hall, in a luxurious room, Situ Boyang was quietly reading the documents. He was over 60 years old, yet he was full of spirit and had a ruddy complexion. In front of him, a middle-aged man and a woman stood quietly with a smile on their faces.
"Dad, Lulu's performance is good. Her gift of eloquence has finally been shown. Therefore, the auction held by the Situ Family has auctioned many items at very high prices, much higher than what we originally expected. "Situ Chao waited for Situ Boyang to read the documents and reported with a smile.
"It's indeed very good." Situ Boyang nodded with satisfaction. "Ah, that's right. You're all back. Where's Lulu?"
Situ Chao forced a wry smile and said, "Dad, Lulu saw her sweetheart. The auction has just ended and she went to look for him."
"Tan Xiu?"
Situ Boyang's expression moved and asked, "Could it be that the young Divine Doctor Tan Xiu also participated in the auction held by our family?"
Situ Chao nodded and said, "That's right. He also bought two items at a high price, with a total value of 3.1 billion. "
"Two items?" Situ Boyang was surprised. "Could it be the Qin Emperor's Imperial Jade Seal and the Nine Phoenix Hairpin? The total value of these two items is exactly 3.1 billion! "
"Yeah, it's these two items," said Situ Chao with a smile.
Situ Boyang nodded and smilingly said, "I met your Uncle Ouyang in Jingmen Island a few days ago and heard a lot about Tan Xiu from him. He's an amazing young man. "
"He's indeed amazing, especially the Magnificent Tang Corporation he founded. Its future development potential is simply … enviable." Situ Chao said, "Further, he's also a Divine Doctor, which is beyond my expectation. Lulu has always had her eyes set on the top of her head. If this Tan Xiu isn't good enough, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to get her favor. "
Situ Boyang nodded and said, "You'll get in touch with this Tan Xiu later. If he's really good, get closer to him."
Situ Chao hesitated and said, "Dad, but his identity …"
Situ Boyang waved and said, "I know he's a member of the Tang Family and his identity is very sensitive. But if our family wants to survive in the Imperial Capital, it's bound to be closer to some other families. Although the Tang Family has been declining in recent years, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Once an outstanding talent emerges in the Tang Family's offspring, I believe it's not impossible to revive the family's glory. Compared to the Tang Family, the Yao Family is too powerful. Even if our family tries to get close to them, I'm afraid … forget it. Just do as I say! "
Situ Chao was silent for a moment and slowly said, "Dad, do you want to get involved in the power struggle between the various forces in the country?"
"I won't get involved," said Situ Boyang lightly.
Situ Chao was puzzled and asked, "Then what do you mean …"
"Ouyang Lulu is my adopted granddaughter. The Ouyang Family approves of the man she likes. Is it necessary for us to reject her? Do we need to avoid arousing suspicion? There's also Tan Xiu's identity as a Divine Doctor. If we deliberately keep a distance from him, that would be a problem. Do you understand? "
Situ Chao was a smart man and instantly understood his father's meaning. Although the Situ Family wanted to get closer to the Tang Family, it was also justifiable. After all, Ouyang Lulu and Tan Xiu had a relationship, as well as Tan Xiu's identity as a Divine Doctor. Even if getting close to him would make many people annoyed, so what?
After thinking it through …
Situ Chao nodded and said, "I know what to do, Dad."
In the banquet hall.
After Tan Xiu, Li Laoshan, Wang Daoyuan, and Ouyang Lulu arrived, many people immediately came forward to greet them. Although Li Laoshan and Wang Daoyuan's identities were unusual, those who were qualified to come here had extraordinary statuses. They came to greet them mainly because of Tan Xiu.
Although some of them already knew that Tan Xiu was a descendant of the Tang Family in the Imperial Capital, more people cared about Tan Xiu's identity as a Divine Doctor. After all, who wouldn't suffer from illness and disasters in their lives? Having an acquaintance with a Divine Doctor was only good for them.
