Chapter 280: Chapter 56: The Explosive Opening Auction
Mu Fan, transformed into a breeze, swiftly weaved through the pedestrians; the exit wasn’t as crowded as the entrance.
A few tourists just felt a gust of wind rush by them, and then a figure had already appeared ahead.
After exiting, Mu Fan quickly spotted the landmark signs Ren Xiaowei had mentioned and followed his directions.
Fifty meters then a right turn, even the noisy crowd couldn’t hide the antique and grandiose sculpture of pure bronze in the distance!
A scale gleaming with a brass light stood there.
Then his gaze spread to either side.
“Golden Flower Valley Auction House”
“Haiwei Auction House”
“Star Curtain Auction House!”
Found it!
Three auction houses were lined up in a row, and on the last one, a holographic globe shrouded the plaque clearly marked with the words “Star Curtain Auction House.”
At the same moment, his wrist vibrated, Lord Black was back.
“Hey, you’re not directionally challenged anymore, you already found the entrance, huh.”

Lord Black was full of surprise, as in his memory Mu Fan was a bona fide directionally challenged person.
This brought Lord Black much relief.
“Hehe,” Mu Fan wouldn’t admit that he had asked a knowledgeable traveler!
“The interior has been thoroughly checked, it’s all tight. It’s 8:31 now, a minute ago these auction items were just entered into the temporary system. It’s a pity, my lord, your extraordinary abilities are unneeded here. There are two ‘Heart-locking Grass’ at this auction, according to the old fellow, we must get both as they are needed for the core of the War Armor. So, go forth, young man, your identity card has already been pre-registered.”
Go forth…
Pay me, and I will!
Mu Fan sarcastically thought to himself as he walked toward Star Curtain Auction House.
“Hello, please show your identity card.”
As he approached the entrance, Mu Fan was stopped by two men in black suits.
Mu Fan handed over his identity card, they scanned it.
“Hello, buyer number 173!”
The two men bowed and moved aside to let him pass through a security gate, it was clear Mu Fan wasn’t carrying any weapons or knives.
As for communication devices and jewelry, they were allowed inside the auction house.
Thus, Mu Fan finally officially entered the Star Curtain Auction House.
Underground?
A voluptuous waitress guided Mu Fan to golden floating stairs.
Then, she pressed the button.
A marker for the fourth sub-level appeared.
The Star Curtain Auction House’s main hall was underground?
“Star Curtain Auction House usually selects the largest subterranean auction hall for general and varied items while luxury and other high-value items are generally auctioned in the five-story above-ground hall,” Lord Black explained timely and thoughtfully.
So that’s how it is.
Soon, with a ding, the floating stairs stopped, Mu Fan stepped out into a corridor that emitted a faint blue glow. Although it wasn’t the main venue, Mu Fan could already hear lively noises not far ahead, carried by the airflow.
“Hello, sir, please proceed forward and take your seat in the main hall according to your number tag,”
Two waitresses explained as they bowed to Mu Fan.
“There are also junior VIP rooms and senior VIP rooms at Star Curtain Auction House, and even two limited top-tier VIP rooms! Of course, none of this matters to you, as our funds wouldn’t even cover a third of the fee for a junior VIP room,” Lord Black ruthlessly doused Mu Fan with cold water.
“Currently, the temporary database does not have the order of item auctions. Really poor service from this auction house, keeping electronics at bay in a tech era!” Lord Black’s complaints made Mu Fan chuckle secretly, it seemed like Lord Black was having a hard time.
“Ouch~”
While communicating with Lord Black, as Mu Fan stepped into the corridor, something suddenly bumped into him from behind, and then, turning around, Mu Fan saw a girl rubbing her head.
After two seconds, when the girl looked up and noticed the figure that had turned around, her face instantly turned red and, in a voice as soft as a mosquito, she sheepishly apologized, “I’m sorry… I just came out and got tripped up.”
Mu Fan’s night vision allowed him to clearly see the girl’s face flushing with embarrassment and her light-white long lady’s trench coat.
Bright eyes and a delicate nose made her features even more exquisite.
Her long hair was tied at the back of her head with pretty botanical vines.
Two crossed vials were embroidered on the collar.
Such unique attire…
“Sir, are you alright? I’m really sorry… I was in too much of a hurry!”
“It’s okay, did I hurt you?” Mu Fan, seeing the girl’s sincere expression and her red face from apologizing, suddenly felt as if he had done something wrong.
“Oh, no no… If it’s all right, I will head in first, I’m really sorry.” The girl was quite shy and obviously not good at talking to people. Hearing Mu Fan hum in acknowledgment, she hurried inside.
Only then did Mu Fan notice the seven floating stairs on either side of the corridor, with quite a few people already emerging from them.
Many impressive figures and those with various peculiar appearances appeared.
And as time approached, people continuously streamed out of the floating stairs.
It was indeed a grand auction.
With that thought, Mu Fan walked down the hallway, and a few moments later, his view brightened.
The lively crowd noise finally presented itself before Mu Fan.
The slightly enhanced blue lighting marked every seat below.
This round venue was capable of seating about 2000 people, with a central auction stage of about seventy to eighty square meters.
Currently, a voluptuous woman in a high-slit red cheongsam that revealed her plump thighs was standing there, completely ignoring the numerous fervent gazes around her.
“This auctioneer is too hot!”
“Is this woman for sale, haha, I’ll buy no matter the price!”
“Like you’ve got the money. This is Beishan Xinyue from Star Curtain Auction House, her father is the vice-president of Star Curtain Consortium! The wealth of her family could buy your company with just a hair.”
“No way, an auction house this formidable?”
“I really shouldn’t have brought you here. There are more billionaires on Blue Capital Star than you can imagine, especially in Zhongjing City, the core of the fourth administrative district. Let’s just watch quietly.”
“No way, that hottie has fired me up, you have to take me to cool down later!”
“Alright, alright, I beg you to just watch for now.”
The low conversation between the two young masters did not escape Mu Fan’s ears.
“A perfect combination of innocence and allure. Beishan Xinyue really is a thorny rose from Star Curtain; every time I see her, I…”
“Randomly get hard…”
His companion nodded in agreement.
Mu Fan’s facial muscles twitched.
Was this really the right place for him?
Seat 173, following the sequence numbers on the ground, Mu Fan quickly found his seat in the seventh row.
The high-tech seats were quite comfortable, with soft cushions and backrests that made one not want to get up.
Moreover, there was about five centimeters of space between each pair of seats, although not much, it did give a sense of independence to the guests. A good balance of space and comfort had been achieved.
Having sat down, Mu Fan could finally look directly at the auction stage, about twenty meters away from him, where the voluptuous yet innocent-faced beauty was calmly flipping through a Light Computer tablet.
She showed no reaction to the gazes and whispers from below.
Such situations had long become commonplace for her.
After watching for a while, Mu Fan felt a surge of blood.
That woman was dressed too revealingly, why expose so much of her thighs!
Finally, Mu Fan decided to close his eyes and not look anymore.
Black had said, auctions required calmness.
As time ticked swiftly towards 9 o’clock, the hall was already full.
Then, the soft blue light throughout the venue dimmed, and the main lights on the dome above the hall cast two soft circles of light onto the center of the auction stage.
Beishan Xinyue’s allure, hotness, and innocence stirred up a round of cheers at the moment!
“Dear guests, welcome to the Star Curtain Auction. Today is the monthly Big Star Region auction! Everything you want to buy is available here. I am your familiar auctioneer–Beishan Xinyue!”
“Isn’t the atmosphere lively enough, huh? Do you want it a bit more exciting?”
Her seductive and tempting red lips slightly parted, and her words brought the atmosphere to a peak! Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World.Site Only
