Seeing that the auction was about to begin, everyone walked towards the hall. No one paid attention to the man who had shouted just now.
Even the man sitting on the ground, who had yet to recover from his shock, seemed to suspect that he was seeing things. With the help of the person beside him, he stood up and walked out of the gallery.
Behind Shen Chun, Song Han asked eagerly, “What’s wrong, Sister-in-law?”
“There are sorcerers nearby. Be careful.”
Shen Chun pondered for a while and realized that there must be something unusual about the paintings auctioned, which was why people like sorcerers were invited.
Since that was the case, she had to get this precious thing.
As soon as she entered the auction venue, she sensed a different gaze.
Shen Chun turned around sharply and met Mu Chen and Mu Xue’s gazes.
Ila, Shen Chun sneered inwardly. These people were really like stalkers. They couldn’t go anywhere with peace of mind.
Shen Chun turned around indifferently and didn’t look at them again.
She turned around and instructed Lan Shan softly, “Lan Shan, let me know immediately if there’s any movement there.”
Lan Shan said, “Alright.”
It was rare for her to come out to buy something, so Shen Chun couldn’t be bothered to say anything else. She had already warned Mu Chen once, so he probably didn’t dare to do anything drastic again.
Shen Chun just wanted to get the painting as soon as possible and send Fu Shi and the others back.
William seemed to be a famous artist in the industry and the auction became filled with people within ten minutes. The security officers who entered the door started to stop the customers who wanted to enter.
Shen Chun, Fu Shi, and the others sat in the front row, so they could see the details of the painting very well.
She knew that this was Fu Shi’s idea, so she was touched and couldn’t help but lean into his arms.
Fu Shi stroked Shen Chun’s head as he said, “I haven’t bought you a gift in a long time. Just tell me what you like later.”
Shen Chun closed her eyes and nodded in satisfaction.
She had also seen them outside just now. Not only were those paintings exquisite, but they were also filled with spiritual energy. Not only could they calm people down, but they could also increase one’s cultivation level.
Even if Fu Shi didn’t pay for it, she had to collect some herself.
Not far away, Mu Chen saw everything.
Originally, he thought that this auction was a chance to prove himself, but he didn’t expect Chunchun to deal him a critical blow before he could even buy the painting.
Mu Chen’s good mood turned into one of resentment.
The person being resented was at home at the moment.
Now, he was looking at the emcee on the stage, but he couldn’t listen to a single word. His mind was filled with thoughts of how to explain things to Chunchun.
He even wondered if Chunchun would be willing to listen to his explanation if he took a painting that she liked and sent it over.
The cultivation level of this painting wasn’t shallow, so those who didn’t cultivate evil techniques couldn’t see anything at all. Even Chunchun could only sense the spiritual energy on it and couldn’t see anything beyond that.
If those brainless rich people wanted to snatch the treasures of the Mystic World, they were really asking for trouble.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xue snorted. “Senior Brother, you’re thinking of Shen Chun, right?”
Her seductive red lips curled up as she narrowed her eyes flirtatiously and said, “She’s a married woman-”
Her voice was sharp and loud, so everyone’s gazes focused on Mu Chen.
“Why is there a family dispute at the auction?”
“Ha! I’ve seen many toyboys in the past few years.”
Mu Chen’s face heated up and he felt speechless.
Mu Chen lowered his head and said, “Junior, don’t interfere in our matters in the future.”
“What do you mean? You’ve been obsessed with her for hundreds of years. Because of her, you even neglected Langcang Mountain! I know better than you what Langcang Mountain is like now!” Mu Xue’s voice became shrill, and her face flushed from anger.
Mu Chen felt his heart ache.
But when he saw Shen Chun interacting with Fu Shi not far away, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth. “No, everything will get better after I explain myself.”
Mu Xue sneered. “You’re really obsessed with that vixen.
After saying that, she crossed her arms and waited for the auction to begin. She didn’t say anything else.
Mu Chen hugged his head and tried to sort out his chaotic thoughts, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt a headache. The more he thought about it, the more confused he felt.
On the stage, the emcee had already started speaking. Seeing that the auction was about to begin, the audience quietened down.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden shout below the stage.. “Zheng An! Where’s Zheng An?!”
