“Everyone! You can now place your bid and make it big in the future!” Ning Jian urged the crowd, flaunting the talent potion in front of everyone. But none of them immediately placed a bid. They just glance towards one another, waiting for someone to bid first. A few minutes passed yet no one has placed any bid. Ning Jian couldn't help but wonder whether he had set the price too high. However, he still believes that it's reasonable considering how heaven defying the talent potion’s effects was. ‘Should I wait for a w—’ “I bid one billion gold coins for that talent potion.” Just as Ning Jian was thinking of what to do, Feng Shaotian's cold voice rang from his private room. ‘Master is bidding for his own item?!’ he thought, stunned stiff. Meanwhile, everyone in the auction house could feel their body trembling unconsciously. Unable to utter even a single word as one billion gold coins was not a small amount. It can build medium size cities and make it prosper in no time. ‘T

“Boss? Why did you decline to meet her? It could help us build connections. She's also rich and even bought the talent potion.” Fatty Ma argued with furrowed brows. No matter how much he pondered about it, he could tell that it's a very advantageous encounter to them. However, Feng Shaotian thought differently from him. With his strength, he had already scanned the whole auction house. Searching for any suspicious movements, taking note of strong people, and making sure everything goes according to his plan. And the person in room no. 3 was someone he had to be wary of. Not only were they rich, their strength was also something he couldn't just overlook. He knew that they're not just simple people. They even wanted to talk to him, as if trying to test him with something. ‘If I'm not mistaken, she's definitely trying to pry into my identity. And the fact that I'm connected to the talent potion she just bought.’ “Boss? Boss!” “Huh? What is it?” Feng Shaotian asked, wondering w

Feng Shaotian and his group had already left the scene. Riding the carriage prepared by the Ning Family, heading straight to their estate. No one talked about what happened earlier. Just resting, tired of all that happened today. The carriage ride wasn’t long. Soon, they arrived at the gates of the Ning family estate. The mansion was brightly lit, guards stationed at every corner, each one standing tall and disciplined. Though not top-tier experts, their coordination and aura revealed a well-trained household force. “Boss, these guards alone show that the Ning family isn’t to be underestimated.” Fatty Ma whispered, clearly impressed. Feng Shaotian only gave a faint nod. His spiritual sense had already swept over the entire estate, noting not only the guards but also a few stronger presences lurking within the main hall. None were a threat to him, but it's better to be prepared and know the Ning family’s depth. After a while, their carriage stopped before a wide stair,

When it was finally time to eat, Fatty Ma took a whole piece of roasted chicken for himself. Including some meat of magical beast before feasting joyously.As for how others view him, he didn't bother. What's important for him was to eat his fill. What shame? There's no room for shame in his life when it comes to eating.Feng Shaotian on the other hand only took a handful of food. Just enough to satisfy his hunger.As they were eating, some of Ning Jian's siblings couldn't help but whisper among each other. Their voices low, afraid that their father would hear them.But even with how careful they are, their father still noticed. He let out another cough and silence returned to the dining table.Then he looked straight at Feng Shaotian in the eyes. “How should I address you? You seem to be—”Before he could finish his sentence, Ning Jian interjected by whispering something in his ears. Surprise gleamed in his eyes before it disapp

Some time later, Feng Shaotian regrouped with Fatty Ma and the others. It's time for them to leave this place and continue on their journey.The wheels of their carriage began rolling as the Coachman urged the horses to start moving.Fatty Ma who's sitting next to Hui Chen leaned closer and whispered. “Where did you run off to? We haven't seen you the whole time yesterday.”“Just catching up with an old friend. We had so much fun drinking that we didn't notice the time.” Hui Chen replied, devoid of any emotion.But Fatty Ma pressed on further and said, “You're lying. You must've spent your time having fun in a brothel.”Hui Chen sharply glanced at him before smacking the back of his head. “Who do you think I am? I'm not like you!”“Ouch.”Feng Shaotian smiled, seeing the two getting closer each day. Now, he doesn't feel like traveling by carriage is a bad thing.“Halt!”Until someone stopped their carri
