What is royalty and wealth.

Chapter 665 The Mystery of Xia Country

Huo Xiuxiu blinked, watching Wu Tianzhen's retreating back.

"Brother Tianzhen is getting stranger and stranger. Could it be the influence of these foreigners?"

Huo Xiuxiu thought to herself as she quickly followed.

Soon, at the Xin Yue Restaurant.

Huo Xiuxiu and the others entered.

Wu Tianzhen and his group slowly walked into the main hall.

At the Xin Yue Restaurant, being able to use a private room usually meant one was either extremely wealthy or extremely powerful.

Wu Tianzhen, representing the Wu family, did not appear high-profile. Instead, he sat unobtrusively in the main hall.

"Brother Tianzhen, why aren't you going to a private room?"

Huo Xiuxiu asked.

"Xiu'er, private rooms attract too much attention. We need to keep a low profile. Our main focus is to be low-key."

Wu Tianzhen said.

Huo Xiuxiu: ???

What? He was focusing on being low-key? That didn't sound like Tianzhen's usual style.

What had Brother Tianzhen experienced abroad?

"Then I'll join you."

Huo Xiuxiu gave a sweet smile and sat down opposite Wu Tianzhen.

"Tianzhen, have you noticed that more than half of the people around us are foreigners? This Xin Yue Restaurant is turning into a foreigner's restaurant,"

Wang Banyue whispered.

"Mm, I just took a look. I recognize a few faces. That's John, James John, a descendant of the James family. That's Charles of Orleans, from the Orleans family."

"They are all descendants of powerful families who control territories abroad. I didn't expect they would only be fit to sit in the main hall."

Wu Tianzhen said in a low voice after looking around.

Wu Tianzhen had studied a lot abroad in recent years and was well aware of the major powers in many countries.

He could recognize these people at a glance.

"It's truly unbelievable. So many influential families can't even get a private room. What kind of guests has this Xin Yue Restaurant attracted?"

Fatty exclaimed, his face full of shock.

Huo Xiuxiu was bewildered.

She didn't quite understand what they were talking about.

But from Wu Tianzhen's demeanor and expression, those few people were probably not simple.

At this moment, in a private room.

Zhang Tian sat on a sofa.

In front of him was a piece of glass.

This type of one-way mirror glass was the most advanced of its kind in this era. It allowed clear observation of people outside while remaining invisible from the outside.

It was considered imported goods.

Three sofas were placed in front of the glass.

One in the middle, and one on each side. Zhang Tian sat in the middle, while Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang shared one, and Fatty had his own.

"How much longer until it starts?"

Zhang Tian looked at the gradually filling crowd below and then looked behind him.

"There are still half an hour. If Sect Master Zhang needs anything, please tell me. I will do my best to satisfy you."

Yin Xinyue stood in front of Zhang Tian.

She was wearing a long red dress today.

The dress hugged her hips, and with the slightly low neckline, Yin Xinyue appeared even more charming.

"No need. You can go and attend to other matters."

Zhang Tian waved his hand.

Yin Xinyue nodded and glanced at the female attendants standing around.

Her eyes flickered, and those attendants went to Zhang Tian and Fatty's backs, beginning to give them massages.

"Ah, this feels great!"

Fatty took a deep breath.

But before he could finish, a chilling sensation washed over him.

"Cough, cough, well, Fatty is feeling unwell. You should all leave for now."

"Go and massage the boss."

Fatty said hastily.

Zhang Tian waved his hand.

"Alright, everyone, you can leave."

After he spoke, they exchanged glances and cautiously left the private room.

"Hey, boss, look quickly, it's Young Master Wu."

Fatty pointed below, trying to change the subject.

Zhang Tian naturally saw Wu Tianzhen below.

"I didn't expect him to be back. It seems he's doing well abroad,"

Zhang Tian murmured, a golden light flashing in his eyes.

Wu Tianzhen had stayed in Fujian Country after the last trip there.

He contributed to the development of the Nine Gates.

He also promised that he would not return unless he achieved some results.

But now it seemed that after a year and a half, Wu Tianzhen should have made significant breakthroughs.

"I'm looking forward to our reunion."

Zhang Tian murmured and took a sip of tea.

"By the way, why isn't Young Master Wu in a private room? And boss, have you noticed, the Huo family member isn't in a private room either?"

Fatty asked, looking down.

"I've also noticed a problem. Many people from the Bei Li family don't seem to be here. I deliberately looked around outside and didn't see any corresponding vehicles,"

Hu Bayi said, his hoarse voice coming from in front of Shirley Yang.

Zhang Tian crossed his legs and tapped lightly on the sofa.

"They probably know we're here, so they didn't come. That's normal."

"The other private rooms are definitely not empty. Those rooms are probably occupied by important figures from out of town."

Zhang Tian said after some thought.

This was the only explanation that made sense.

"Who could those people be?"

Fatty mused.

"If they're from abroad, I might recognize them,"

Shirley Yang said after thinking.

As for who they were, Zhang Tian didn't care at all.

He wasn't here to buy anything, so it didn't really matter to him who they were.

"Let's see. Perhaps we'll witness an even more exciting auction than last time,"

Hu Bayi said.

Fatty didn't say anything further, only nodding.

Time passed quickly.

Half an hour later.

Yin Xinyue personally hosted.

A professional smile graced her face.

She walked briskly to the center of the auction stage.

When Yin Xinyue appeared, everyone present became excited.

Especially the foreigners.

They came to Xia Country for various reasons, some to seek fortune, others purely for leisure.

Yin Xinyue was definitely a representative of traditional Xia Country women.

She was dignified and beautiful, coupled with her captivating figure, making the men present's eyes light up.

"Who is this? Her face, her figure, not bad. Does Xia Country have people like this?"

"I'm not sure. She doesn't look like an ordinary auctioneer."

"Heh heh, anything that's being auctioned definitely has a price. Just pay for it."

"She's just a Xia Country woman. As long as we extend our hands, we can get as much as we want."

Some foreigners below began to fantasize.

In this era, many foreigners looked down on Xia Country, while many Xia Country people admired foreigners.

Even in modern times, there were still many such instances. Some people couldn't resist when they saw foreigners. This was perhaps a product of a certain ideological era.

Yin Xinyue maintained her professional smile.

In her hand, she held many white cards.

These were the lots for the auction.

"Hello everyone, and welcome to the Xin Yue Restaurant Auction."

"Originally, we do not entertain foreign guests. However, because the items being auctioned this time are special, I believe foreign friends might also need them."

"Therefore, we are making an exception this once."

Yin Xinyue's voice was crisp.

She immediately set a stern tone.

"What? Chinese people are saying this to us? Not entertaining? I didn't want to come anyway."

"What kind of a place is this? This young master doesn't care."

"When did Chinese people become so sharp?"

Below, following Yin Xinyue's words, there was a commotion.

Some people were already starting to get angry.

However, when Yin Xinyue spoke again, the entire hall fell silent.

"I believe everyone wants to experience the mystery of Xia Country. Today is an opportunity."

"If you don't want to miss it."

As Yin Xinyue's voice faded, the surroundings became utterly silent.
