Ultimate Village Doctor-Chapter 337 - 367: The Auction Begins (3rd Update)

Zhao Xiaoqiao led the entire team from the Special Action Division on patrol within Sihai Grand Hotel, keeping watch.

It was to prevent any chaos during the auction.

Long Xiaoshan stood together with Bai Susu,

welcoming the guests to the auction one by one.

This auction was specifically to enhance Bai’s Medicinal Materials’ influence; the money earned from the auction was secondary. Long Xiaoshan didn’t lack the money from the Snow Lotus sale—his jade stones set up in the formation for Bai’s Medicinal Materials were worth over a hundred million.

However, this kind of influence could not be replaced by money. Your next read awaits at novelbuddy.com

Wealthy businessmen swarmed in.

Those who could enter the auction were at least billionaires.

Bai’s Medicinal Materials, from just a medicinal company in Hechuan City, would leap to be the most famous medicinal enterprise in the province after today’s auction.

Standing at the entrance, Bai Susu had specially dressed up today, wearing a precious blue cheongsam, which fully sketched out her fiery curves.

That mature and alluring femininity was, without a doubt, what men coveted the most.

As for Long Xiaoshan standing by her side, he wasn’t half bad either—a high-grade tailored suit adorned his tall frame, with sharp eyes and a vigorous and domineering youthfulness radiating from him; the two of them standing together made quite the pair.

The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was beautiful and sexy.

It was a sight that attracted many eyes.

The various wealthy tycoons and rich wives who came to participate in the auction couldn’t help but size them up continuously—the tycoons mostly gazed upon Bai Susu, while the rich wives’ eyes kept beckoning Long Xiaoshan.

A Mercedes S600 stopped in the hotel parking lot.

Three people got out of the car and walked towards the entrance.

These three were in suits, but they looked oddly out of place, as if they didn’t quite suit their temperament.

Their arms were exceptionally thick, so thick as to seem somewhat deformed, forearms as wide as an adult’s thigh constricted the suit, as if about to split the fabric.

As the three approached, they looked less like humans and more like a few gorillas.

The one in the front, a white-haired old man with high cheekbones and two long, white eyebrows, gave off a fierce impression, exuding a strong, deadly aura that made those around him avoid him involuntarily.

Long Xiaoshan’s eyes narrowed as he watched these men approach.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the entrance where they paused, also gazing at Long Xiaoshan.

The white-haired elder, with his hazel eyes, stared at Long Xiaoshan.

Although Bai Susu didn’t recognize these people, she also felt an oppressive sensation and couldn’t help but cling to Long Xiaoshan’s arm, saying, "Hello, I am the chairman of Bai’s Medicinal Materials. May I ask who you are?"

The white-haired elder didn’t respond to Bai Susu,

but instead asked Long Xiaoshan, "Long Xiaoshan?"

Long Xiaoshan, scrutinizing the men’s overly thick forearms, already had some guesses in his mind. In the Ancient Martial World, it seemed that only a few sects focused on hand techniques could cultivate such a physique.

Combining this with an encounter he had in the past with Yu Cheng, he said, "From the Iron Palm Gang?"

"Correct, I am Tie Qiong. The two behind me are my junior brothers," the white-haired elder looked at Long Xiaoshan up and down, then laughed, "Long Xiaoshan, I have long heard of you. We old fellows hardly ever come out anymore, so we aren’t very clear about what goes on outside. Meeting you now, I realize that new talents replace the old, haha."

The white-haired elder’s words seemed polite,

but they felt strangely off.

Long Xiaoshan learned from Tang Xiao’s mouth that Iron Palm Gang seemed to have brought Yu Cheng’s master, named Tie Qiong, and moreover, he had killed Yu Cheng. There was no way people from the Iron Palm Gang would easily let him go.

So no matter how polite the white-haired old man’s outward words were.

He knew very well what was actually going on.

Neither the white-haired old man nor the two middle-aged men behind him.

All of them were among the top experts, and while an ordinary person would be extremely nervous, Long Xiaoshan did not feel afraid. Even, he felt a slight boiling sensation in his blood. He chuckled lightly and said, "I know your Iron Palm Gang’s Yu Cheng, and we’ve crossed hands before. Speaking of which, we are quite familiar. It’s just a pity that I accidentally killed him in the arena, and I feel much remorse."

The white-haired old man’s face seemed to show no change.

But the two people behind him suddenly looked different. Their faces turned iron blue and annoyed.

As if the Yu Cheng Long Xiaoshan mentioned was deliberately meant to embarrass them.

The somewhat skinny person on the left, his eyes gleaming coldly, sneered, "Long Xiaoshan, you’ve got guts. For someone so young, you were able to kill Yu Cheng. I am quite interested in exchanging a few moves with you."

As he spoke, the skinny person’s arm started to swell at a visibly rapid pace, and even the already taut sleeve of his suit made a slight tearing sound.

Long Xiaoshan’s eyes grew stern, and he quickly stepped forward, shielding Bai Susu behind him.

He feared that the Iron Palm Gang might lash out and harm someone.

He did not fear combat, but he was afraid Bai Susu would be involved. After all, the strength of these ancient martial artists was too great, and a commoner would be severely injured at the slightest touch.

The white-haired old man raised his hand and halted the skinny person.

"Ku Gen, don’t be rude. We are here to attend the auction today. How can we be disrespectful to the host?" he said, turning his gaze back to Long Xiaoshan. "Yu Cheng was my disciple, and since he died at your hands, it reflects my lack of teaching. Young man, if there’s a chance, we shall meet in the future."

With that, the white-haired old man waved his hand and led the two people into the venue.

Bai Susu stepped out from behind Long Xiaoshan and said, "Xiaoshan, who are they? They look really scary."

"It’s nothing, Auntie Su," Long Xiaoshan comforted her. "Just some acquaintances, nothing to worry about."

Bai Susu didn’t ask further. She was a very understanding woman, not a little girl anymore. Even if she felt some concern, she knew there were some things she could not inquire about.

As more people continued to enter.

More and more martial artists, even those dressed in bizarre attire, also arrived.

There were wizards from the Miao Frontier, people dressed as Taoists, and monks.

Tang Xiao also arrived.

However, he didn’t say much to Long Xiaoshan, merely exchanging pleasantries before proceeding into the venue.

Long Xiaoshan watched the crowd, spotting a middle-aged man with a somewhat pale complexion following behind them. This man was unremarkable in appearance, seemingly invisible if thrown into a crowd.

This person gave him a familiar and odd sensation, very gloomy.

He stared deeply at the middle-aged man.

Noticing Long Xiaoshan’s gaze, the middle-aged man turned his head and entered the venue. Long Xiaoshan stroked his chin, his eyes gradually emitting a thread of cold light.

Around nine o’clock.

Everyone had arrived.

Long Xiaoshan and Bai Susu also stepped into the venue, and the auction officially began.

This time, although Snow Lotus was the main item, what Long Xiaoshan had prepared was definitely not limited to Snow Lotus.
