Auction

At dusk, more than a dozen luxury cars were parked in front of a large, traditional Chinese-style building.

The building is a grand, traditional-style structure with four levels. Its architecture is adorned with classic elements, imbuing it with an elegant, timeless appearance.

Mo Shen, wanting to blend in with the wealthy crowd at the event, made the conscious decision to hire a black limousine for the day. He knew that arriving by taxi would have drawn unwanted attention and made him stand out.

The driver opened the car door for Mo Shen, who stepped out of the limousine with grace. His every movement was imbued with elegance and commanded respect. No one would question his presence, as his aura alone conveyed confidence and power. In fact, many of the ladies present were drawn to him, subconsciously attracted to his charm.

He ignored the women's gazes and continued walking toward the entrance. He deemed them unworthy of his attention and was more focused on the presence of four cultivators. Thanks to his heightened senses, he was able to clearly see a group of people dressed in formal attire.

In the center of the group stood a young woman, resplendent in a red dress. The three other cultivators in the group were positioned around her, acting as guards. They were all focused on the young woman, regarding her with the utmost respect and reverence, as if she were a delicate and untouchable princess. Their movements were graceful and calculated, further emphasizing the high regard they held for her.

' Peak Martial Warrior, not bad. But I don't recall her face.' He muttered to himself as he tried to recall his memory. Despite his efforts, he couldn't remember anything about the young woman in the red dress.

He chose to put the matter aside and push it to the back of his mind. It was important for him to maintain his cover and conceal his true identity from the cultivators and other attendees. He knew it was not safe to reveal himself,

A young lady, dressed in a delicate pink gown, greeted Mo Shen as he approached. "Sir, welcome to our auction house," she said with a warm smile.

Mo Shen simply nodded in response and continued on his way inside. He saw no need for extended pleasantries with an employee, as it was simply their job to greet him.

Inside the auction hall, he was greeted by an array of elegant paintings and statues on display. While the art pieces were impressive to the average person, they held little significance to him.

His primary focus was on the items up for auction. He was hopeful that he would be able to secure an ancient artifact on his first attempt. He had carefully researched the items beforehand and had a clear understanding of what he was after. With his system, he could find the best artifact to convert into a magic instrument.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that the auction will begin promptly at 5 o'clock this evening," announced a man in his mid-40s, as he took the stage.

Some of the attendees are here primarily for the opportunity to socialize with individuals from similar or higher social standings.

Mo Shen was approached by multiple ladies who were interested in him. To avoid being suspicious, he chatted with them and went along with the flow.

As expected, some of the ladies exchanged numbers with Mo Shen, while others dared to ask him out to dinner after the event. Fortunately, all the ladies who approached him were single; otherwise, Mo Shen would have found himself in a potentially uncomfortable situation.

As he sat waiting for the auction to start, he was approached by not only ladies but also older men who were trying to cozy up with him. They assumed he was the son of a tycoon and sought to establish connections. His impeccable demeanor was not something that could be easily achieved by an inexperienced wealthy young man. These older men thought that he must have been trained in etiquette and grace from a young age.

He simply answers all their inquiries and chats with them. Of course, he had to build up lies to cover up his background. He also did not forget to act like a gentleman in front of them.

"Acting is more tiring than I thought," He thought to himself.

While he was socializing, Mo Shen noticed a man in a black suit approaching him from behind. He chose to ignore the man in order to avoid any potential problems.

"Sir, our mistress wants to speak with you."The man wearing the black suit spoke in a polite yet firm tone.

Mo Shen turned to the man and assessed him. The man was one of the cultivators he had sensed earlier. Despite that, he was only at the peak level of a martial arts novice and appeared to be quite weak.

"Your mistress?" Mo Shen acts cluelessly. His speed-up thought process made him able to adjust to any situation without blowing his cover.

"Yes, our mistress is a very powerful and influential woman, and she wants to speak with you before the auction starts."

Mo Shen's mood changes for a split second but he did not show it on his face. Now, he was more concerned about his identity being exposed. If things became complicated, he would have had to erase these people from the face of the earth. They should blame their luck for being so bad.

"Ok, lead the way " He nodded and stood up. These people are no threat to him, and it can cause a misunderstanding if he rejects them without knowing the other party's motive first.

Both of them walk toward a private room located on the second floor. The place was an area for VIPs only.

In front of the glass window was a lady in a red dress. She has a tempting heart-shaped face and tantalizing eyes, which make her very attractive. Added to that was her beautiful black braided hair, which further magnifies her beauty.

She's dropped gorgeous and was even a level higher than Mia if we compare their demeanor. This was something no normal human can achieve. It was an aura that she got from tempering her body, and it will continue to grow as she gets stronger.

"Leave us be." her cold yet sexy voice reaches Mo Shen's ears.

"As you command." the man bowed his head and leave the room.

"Sit down." Her tone changed; it became sweeter.

Mo Shen picked up on the sudden change in her tone and decided to go along.

"May I know the reason why you called for me?" He asks her directly.

The lady pauses for a moment and simply smiles. She took the wine from the table and poured it into his glass. Her actions are a sight to behold. The simple act of pouring wine made the scene erotic.

Mo Shen waited for her to finish. He was not going anywhere anytime soon, so there was no reason to rush.

"Let's just say that I'm interested in you."

"Interested? In what way?" The lady tried to catch Mo Shen off guard, but things like this were child's play in front of him.

"You're more interesting than I thought." She was impressed by Mo Shen's calm demeanor. T

She got close to Mo Shen and whispered something in his ears. Her voice was sweeter than usual.

"Let's just say that you caught my attention."

Mo Shen did not flinch at all. He continued to sip his wine.

"I'm honored to know that an esteemed woman like you finds me interesting." He smiled and respectfully bowed his head.

"If that's all, then may I leave now?" He no longer wants to waste his time here. And he doesn't want things to get more awkward.

"I think you misunderstood me. " The lady in red gently put down the glass and chuckled.

"What do you mean?"

" I was just testing your personality." I can't believe that such a young, pure man still exists."
