“Hmph, I don’t even know where this woman came from, daring to snatch our Wanwan’s man,” Lian Mengzhu scoffed. “Even that Huangfu Ruiling must be blind. Our Wanwan is so outstanding, yet he still dares to despise her.”
“Mm, let’s not discuss these matters in front of Wanwan,” Ye Hongxuan cautioned. “We don’t want her to keep dwelling on that Huangfu Ruiling.”
“Understood.” Lian Mengzhu nodded. “Wanwan is still young, and she can take her time. No need to be in a rush.’
In the Hidden World, the average lifespan of ordinary individuals extended to several hundred years, and those with profound cultivation could even surpass a millennium. Yet, Ye Wanwan was merely seventeen years old, considered quite young in the cultivation world.
On the other side, the incident in the restaurant had no impact on the mood of Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan. After their lunch, the duo visited another market but found nothing of interest, refraining from making any purchases.
Soon, evening arrived, and the auction was about to commence. As they hadn’t encountered anything captivating, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan arrived at the auction venue early.
Ye Lengan had anticipated that they would return to a quaint restaurant, reminiscent of their noon experience. To her surprise, Huangfu Ruiling led her to an opulent hotel.
This hotel resembled an ordinary five-star hotel in the mortal world, with a notable exception – there was no parking lot.
In the Hidden World, individuals with sufficient cultivation could travel on flying swords, rendering cars unnecessary. Those with lesser cultivation typically rode spirit beasts or had them pull carriages.
Observing the luxurious hotel before her, Ye Lengan realized the limits of her knowledge. “l thought the Hidden World wouldn’t have such a modern hotel.
I’ve truly broadened my horizons now.”
Huangfu Ruiling smiled, explaining, “The mortal world and the Hidden World are connected. Many individuals from the Hidden World occasionally visit the mortal world. Thus, having modern structures in the Hidden World is quite normal. Of course, there are also many classical buildings like the restaurant we visited this afternoon. It’s a matter of personal preference. However, most major family estates are constructed similarly to ancient mansions.”
Acknowledging Huangfu Ruilings clarification, Ye Lengan nodded. “After all, this is part of modern society, so seeing a hotel here isn’t surprising.”
Despite Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan arriving on foot, the hotel staff, recognizing their extraordinary demeanor, treated them with the utmost respect.
At the hotel entrance, Huangfu Ruiling raised his hand, presenting an invitation card. He handed it to the entrance staff.
Upon seeing the invitation card, the staff member’s demeanor became even more deferential. He bowed to Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan, respectfully stating, “Esteemed guests, please follow me.”
Serving at the hotel entrance required a discerning eye. The staff member had initially suspected that the couple before him was not ordinary. Seeing their invitation card confirmed his intuition.
The gold-bordered invitations were distributed to various prominent families. Anyone in possession of such an invitation held a significant position within their family. Although the staff couldn’t discern their true identities, he was certain that these two held crucial roles in the Huangfu family.
Soon, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan followed the hotel staff to the top floor, where the auction was set to take place. Upon entering the venue, they noted the presence of many early arrivals. While the auction had yet to commence, those present engaged in lively socializing..
