In the hall outside...

"For the winning bidders, please go to rooms number one to five for the payment. And the person who brings the items to the auction can go get your money at rooms number six and seven!" A pretty girl's voice rang out as the crowd came out of the auction room. She was a staff member who provided convenience to those who came to use the auction service here.

"I have to go to the cash received room before going to the payment room, right?" Realizing where he had to go, Zheng-Fu immediately walked in that direction. But suddenly, he felt a group of people staring at him.

"Tch!!! Annoying as hell! What's going on so much, these guys!? Huuugh... Let it be. I don't want to cause trouble for myself.

Just let it go!"

Swish!!!

Suddenly, both Zheng-Fu's power and the odour disappeared with his figure, which vanished from the sight of the people who were peeping at him. Zheng-Fu used his disguising skill to hide his own power. Then he took a straw hat to cover his body and immediately rushed to room number seven.

"Where has he gone?"

"Damn it, hurry to search around. Don't let him get out of sight!"

Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!!

The people who were hiding immediately spread out into different corners when they lost sight of Zheng-Fu. Some of them rushed outside the auction house while the others continued to look for him. But no matter how they searched, no one could find him because he was already in room number seven.

In room number seven...

"Good evening. Welcome to room number seven. Please put your hands on the table in front of you!" As soon as Zheng-Fu entered the room, he found that this room was similar to the one where he placed his items for auction, from a stone half table to other things as well.

Blop!!!

Zheng-Fu walked to the half table and put his hand down. Suddenly, a light appeared on the table and then disappeared. About ten minutes after that, a young woman's voice called out.

"Hello, I've already checked the contract. And this is your total money of two thousand seven hundred sixteen million monster crystal coins obtained from the auction. We have deducted three percent of the bid deposit fee from the total amount. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me."

"No, thank you very much." Zheng-Fu immediately took the money without wasting time asking any further because he did not want to stay here for long. Besides, even after deducting the fees, there was still a lot of money left. And it was also the number that he had already calculated that was correct.

"Then, thank you, Your Honor, for trusting our Purple Dragon Auction House to deposit valuables in this auction. And we hope that you will honour us next time as well."

"Me, too." After saying that, Zheng-Fu immediately walked out of the room.

Behind the screen curtain...

"Huugh... What a regret he didn't reveal who he was!!" Wang-Dai-Su said in a regretful and sad tone.

"That's right. But what can we do? It's a rule we've made. However, rules must be rules anyway." Wang-Ke, who was standing next to Wang-Dai-Su, also had a regretful look on his face. However, this was their family's long-standing rule, so they could not know who the other party was, even if they were curious.

"Father, let me take a sneak peek at him?" Wang-Lin-Chan, who was standing on the other side, spoke up, preparing to walk out of the room to see who was the person who brought the spiritual stones for the auction.

"You can't!!! You are absolutely forbidden from doing that. This is our rule. If he doesn't agree, we're absolutely forbidden from doing so." Wang-Ke immediately scolded when he saw his daughter thinking of going to take a peek at Zheng-fu.

But...

"Ha ha ha! Granddaughter, you may obey your father. You can't find him anyway, even if you go out and wait for him in front of the room." Suddenly, an old man's voice sounded as his figure walked in through the door.

"Grandpa!? What do you mutt... uh, what do you mean I can't find him?" Wang-Lin-Chan was puzzled about what the old man who had just recently entered meant.

"Do you think that only you guys want to know who he is? Not at all. The big clans and the major sects want to know too. But no one knows who he is. Only a few people left rooms number six and seven, and everyone was all checked. But there is no one we can guess who brought the spiritual stones to participate in this auction," Elder Wang-Qin-Dai said, stroking his beard.

"It's true, as you said. Everyone would like to know who he is. But from what Father said, no one who left the cash receiving room was suspicious. And how did he disappear?" Wang-Ke also wondered who this person was and how he could leave the room without being detected.

Back to the outside of the hall, after Zheng-Fu was about to leave the cash receiving room, he could feel many people waiting to welcome him. Zheng-Fu then used the disguising skill to hide his power again and walked out of the room so no one could detect him. Even Elder Lao-Tian-Zheng could not recognize that he had left the room.

When escaping from the crowd, Zheng-Fu immediately went straight to the payment room to get his items. Of course, Zheng-Fu continued to hide his power but did not disguise his figure, as when coming out of the cash receiving room.

"Good evening, sir. Please hand over your auction number." A female receptionist at the checkout box spoke up when she saw Zheng-Fu.

"Hmm... The staff here are all lovely. Hey... no, no, don't, don't. Calm down, calm down." When Zheng-Fu saw the young lady at the checkout box, his face turned slightly red because the young girl's dress was so flashy and beautiful, that it split in the middle to reveal two plump and smooth breasts, and her face also looked seductive.

"Young Master…? Young Master!!"

"Ah, yes! Sorry, I'm just thinking of something a little bit. Here's my number sign." When Zheng-Fu regained his senses by the voice of the girl staff, he was slightly shy till he hardly dared to face her. He had to grit his teeth to hold back his shyness, handing over the number sign to receive items and pay.

As for the female staff, she did not pay any attention to Zheng Fu's actions. She had encountered this kind of thing so often that she could say she was already familiar with it. After receiving Zheng-Fu's number sign, she immediately checked the item that Zheng Fu won at the auction.

"Huh… Are these the items that he won at the auction?" The girl even had a startled expression. Her eyes instantly widened when she realized what Zheng-Fu had won at the auction before she smiled at the corners of her lips.

Five minutes passed...

"Here, sir. The items you won are already in this ring... You can pay and receive them. The total price is twenty-one million monster crystal coins." After five minutes, the girl staff spoke up again and placed the dimensional ring on the counter, which had the magical inscription written on it.

Thud!!!

"Here." Zheng-Fu smiled as he placed two gold cash cards and one purple cash card on his side of the counter. The spell started working at once. The dimensional ring moved to his side. As for his cash cards, they shifted to the girl's side.

"Thank you, Young Master, for trusting us to bid with our auction house."

"Thank you too."

After receiving the items, Zheng-Fu did not delay and hurried out of the counter immediately since he did not feel good, which he did not know why. And it happened according to his feelings. After Zheng-Fu left the counter, only a fraction of a second later, the people who secretly followed him had arrived.

"He's not here. Where has he gone!? Hurry up, search for him!"

"Yes, sir!!!"

The entire group of people dispersed in an instant and spread out in different directions to find Zheng-Fu. As for Zheng-Fu, he had already exited the auction house, and his face was no longer transformed. It was his real body and face. And when he came outside the auction house, Dong-Chen and his men already waited for him, and as well, they all returned to their original bodies.

"Young Master, you've come out?" When Dong-Chen saw Zheng-Fu come out, his face immediately filled with joy. He had been worried that anything would happen to Zheng-Fu since he had been gone for so long. "I'm sorry for making you wait so long. Let's hurry up. We'll leave now." When Zheng-Fu arrived at Dong-Chen's team, he did not say much, only telling them that he had to leave.

Others wondered what had happened; why was he in such a hurry?

"Yes, sir!!!"

But all of them did not ask anything because, looking at Zheng-Fu's expression, even if they asked, there was no answer, and it would probably make things worse. So, Dong-Chen and the others immediately prepared to leave.

"Hey! You guys, stop!!!"

But as their team was preparing to leave, suddenly there was a loud noise to stop them. And when everyone turned around, they saw a middle-aged man with dozens of people behind him.

"We?" said Dong-Chen, pointing at himself.

"That's right, you guys. I have something to ask you. And I suggest that you have to answer truthfully. Otherwise..." said the middle-aged man with a hand slashed at his neck, then continued, "Since you guys are out there, have you seen a handsome young man coming out of the auction house?"

A handsome young man!?

"Dear Master, we don't see the person you said. We just passed by from the market and stopped here. Now we're leaving, so no one suddenly notices. And there are also a lot of people walking out of the auction house."

Dong-Chen was the only one in charge of answering the questions. The others just stood still while Zhao-Ke was forced to stay still by Zheng-Fu. Otherwise, he would show some suspicion.

"Huh… You didn't see him? If you guys dare to lie to me, then...!!!" The middle-aged man tried to intimidate them in case the other party pretended to be ignorant. But when he looked into Dong-Chen's eyes, there was no suspicion, so he had to believe.

"So then, if you find him, hurry to tell me right away, you know? I will reward you very nicely… Let's go!" When finished speaking, he immediately took his men away.

Pheeeew!!!

Dong-Chen let out a long sigh of relief that the other party could not find fault with him. When they had left, he turned to look at Zheng-Fu as if he wanted to ask him something. But as he turned around, Zheng-Fu shook his head, signaling not to ask anything. Dong-Chen only nodded in response and packed up to leave the city.

"Where has he gone? We've been searching all over the place, both in the auction house and the five hundred meters away around here, but we still can't find him. How did he disappear without a trace!?"

"Anyway, we need to find him. Let's search again!"

"Yes, sir!!!"
