Chapter 160 The Drug 19

The auction is a full house and the people present were excited and impatient to see the legendary items that will be presented in a few minutes. Even the VIP spots were pretty much filled with very powerful people wanting to purchase the legendary items tonight. Ministers of the Chu Empire let alone the rich nobles that live here all hold a seat on the second floor.

There are three levels of power in the auction. The first floor is where all the common people who are rich enough are to be placed, the second floor where nobles and royals will be placed and the 3 floor where very important people, super rich and powerful, will be seated and it's rare for someone to be placed there. No one here in the Auction in the city has seen anyone with that much importance before. Not even their own Emperor.

All the employees has been showing all the customers their seats. Wang Ping walks in to the auction house with his three guards. Many were surprised because there were two mysterious people with him. One with long green hair (Knight) and the other with long bright orange hair (Victoria). They were very beautiful people and many were shocked to find hair of that color.

No one has seen anybody with hair like that before and some started questioning if they came from foreign lands.

"This way, 3rd prince of Wang," said the employee taking him to the elevator.

Wang Ping, Gu Xiang, Victoria and Knight were surprised to see this weird technology in an auction house.

"What is this?" said Wang Ping.

"This is called an elevator. Our master saw this in the West Continent and wanted to add this feature to the auction house. It is a convenient way for us to take nobles and royals to the second floor, way faster and people friendly," said the employee.

"I see… It is convenient," said Wang Ping, interested into the elevator.

The elevator is not made of metal. It is made of a wood platform with safety bars to keep people safe and four people working together to pull them up with ropes and pulleys to the upper floors. There is a small bell on the elevator the four people will ring to let them know it is safe to cross.

"...You guys really trust each other," said Gu Xiang.

"Well… our master really rely on us and treat us as human beings. We only do our best to satisfy our master and if he wants us to trust each other, that is what we'll do," said the employee.

"I see…" said Wang Ping. 'I wonder who their master is.'

They have reached the second floor and seated in the room next to Minister Quan. The room on the other side of Wang Ping was an empty room and the one next to that, the Chu Emperor was placed. For safety reasons, the Chu Emperor has asked for the rooms next to him be empty.

The Chu Emperor enters the auction house soon after Wang Ping. Minister Quan notices that he was not with the two guards that are always with him, Hua Maoli and Guo Jinsong.

'Hmm… I might be able to kill the Emperor tonight!' thought Minister Quan.

Then woman with a masked shows up with her two comrades and a little white haired boy. She walks gracefully into the auction house and the employees show her to her room.

"Lady Yu Yan, I will show you your room," said the employee.

The woman nodded with the two guards following closely behind her, a man and a woman, and a boy with beautiful white hair walking right next to her. The people around them has heard news of the beautiful lady but she will always where a mask and the watched as she gracefully walks to the elevator.

"Another surprise? It seems she has a rare boy with her as well," said Minister Quan. What he said caught his sons' and daughters' attention and they walk up to the ledge to see who he was speaking of.

"Your room will be on the third floor, Lady Yu Yan," said the employee.

The people on the first floor were surprised. 'The beautiful lady is placed on the third floor?'

Everyone were surprised to hear that and soon started talking about it. Minister Quan watches her and eyes widen to see her go up a floor. His sons who are in the same room couldn't believe she was this important. His daughters watch as they go pale.

'She's more important than the emperor?' the girls thought as they watched her go higher in the elevator.

'Tsk. but I will gain that man's love no matter what!' thought Quan Huan Lan. She watched the man behind Lin Yu Yan, recognizing his figure, trying to find an opportunity to get his attention.

The employer lead them to her room where she can get the best view and Han Bingwen thanking the employer for her.

"Wow! What a view!" said Chu Yang as she took off her mask to have a breather. She was getting nervous as time pass since it is almost time for her to finally speak to her brother again.

"It's so high up! This building is amazing!" said Silver. He has been training in Lin Yu Yan's ring ever since the encounter of the sea king so he was very excited to see what Feng City looks like. His eyes glow as he watches the scene in front of him.

"Did I do a good job?" said a voice. The girl with the mask sits down in relief on the chair, finally able to breath again from the intense atmosphere she had to go through. So many eyes were on her and she

"Yes, you did!" said Chu Yang.

"Yu Yan said for you not to speak so you did fine," said Silver, reassuring her.

"That's good," said the girl. She takes off her mask to have a breather. It was Peng Ai instead of Lin Yu Yan.

"I was so nervous! I wasn't sure if I could play the part. Yu Yan is the strong type and I don't really have a strong presence… or attitude," said Peng Ai.

"Ai, you did well! As long as us three play the part as your guard, everything will be fine until Yu Yan comes back. After all, we just have to make it look like she was at the auction the whole time," said Chu Yang.

Han Bingwen stand by the door to keep watch of anyone approaching. He sighs from hearing their conversation and looks down with sad eyes.

'I wanted to go with Yu Yan to that slave building…. Sigh, but I have to make it look like she's here,' thought Han Bingwen. He stood there and then felt a presence pop out of nowhere using a significant amount of energy.

"Hey… someone is here."
