“If I knew that you were coming here, we could’ve come here together!” she said.
“Hahaha… I did not plan on coming here at first. It’s only a coincidence.”
“Coincidence or not, we are together again. Come here and sit at my table.”
Yuan nodded and followed Xuan Wuhan to her table, where the old man from before and two unfamiliar handsome young men sat.
“The Young Lady was right… to enter this room, his background is not so simple after all.” The old man was surprised to see Yuan in the VIP room.
“Who are they?” One of the young men asked after seeing Xuan Wuhan return with strangers.
“Friends I recently made,” she said.
“Hmmm…”
The two handsome young men looked at Yuan with a pondering gaze.
“Which noble family are you from? I am Du Bai from the Du Family,” said the handsome young man on the left.
“I am Du Hai, his twin brother,” said the one on the right.
“Uh… I am not from any family,” Yuan casually responded as he sat down beside Xuan Wuhan.
“What?”
They all looked at him with a surprised expression.
“Then you must be a disciple of a powerful sect. Which sect do you belong to?”
“I am also not a part of any sect. I’m a Rogue Cultivator,” he said.
“…”
Once Yuan said those words, the entire room went silent, as everyone in the room was paying attention to him trying to figure out his identity.
“A… A Rogue Cultivator, you say? Hahaha… what a good joke…”
A few moments later, the entire room burst with laughter.
“There’s no way some Rogue Cultivator would have the privilege to enter this VIP room!”
“Hahaha! He must really want to keep his background hidden!”
“Too bad that only makes me more intrigued!”
“…”
It was Yuan’s turn to be speechless. He did not understand why they were laughing at him or why they couldn’t believe his words. But regardless of the reason, since they don’t believe him, there was nothing he could do. And it’s not as though he cared whether they believed him or not.
“Just ignore them, Yuan.” Xuan Wuhan said to him.
And just as she said those words, the lights in the room suddenly dimmed.
“The auction is finally starting,” said Xuan Wuhan as she pointed to the large stage that was right below their VIP room.
