Chapter 1868: Chapter 847: Appetite
“What’s the matter?”
Seeing Zhuge Shi stand up, Fang Yu immediately asked strangely.
“Just taking a walk around.”
Zhuge Shi replied casually.
Though it was an answer, it was really just informing Fang Yu, without caring whether he agreed or not.
Fang Yu frowned slightly.
The auction venue was gradually filling with people, and it was about to officially begin. A walk around at this moment…
“The auction is about to start, and soon we’ll be going upstairs. If you don’t make it back, or miss going up, I won’t care about you.”
Zhuge Shi was already heading out, and upon hearing this, she turned back and laughed.
“If that’s the case, I’ll wait here until Young Master Diao returns. I trust Young Master Diao won’t abandon a weak girl like me, right?”
That wouldn’t be necessary, but…
Fang Yu was still pondering, but Zhuge Shi had already walked away.
Even though everyone at the auction was wearing masks, and it hadn’t officially started yet, Fang Yu truly couldn’t figure out where she could go.
At this moment, Fang Yu noticed someone approaching from not too far away, heading straight toward them.
Under the gaze of several people, including Wu Dazuo from the neighboring seat, the person came in front of the group, bowed slightly, and said, “Which one of you is Lord Bo Changquan?”
Bo… Bo Changquan?!
Wu Dazuo immediately widened his eyes.
Previously, he only heard Fang Yu announce his family name and thought all the people seated together were from the Diao Family. But suddenly, Bo Changquan showed up!
He had heard of the Bo Family!
Not because the Bo Family was more distinguished than the Lu Family; quite the opposite. Because the Bo Family’s status was low enough to be on the same level as the Wu Family, a family he was familiar with, which made Wu Dazuo quite knowledgeable about them.
Thus, upon hearing the name Bo Changquan, he was somewhat stunned, his mouth gaping in disbelief.
Bo Changquan? Bo Family Patriarch? Who is…
While Wu Dazuo was still contemplating, he saw the man who gave him an overwhelming sense of pressure slowly stand up.
“That’s me.”
This simple sentence made Wu Dazuo feel immense pressure.
As a dissolute young master, he could usually only interact with peers of his generation, those of the second generation. Meeting a family head was out of the question, especially not such close contact.
For a moment, Wu Dazuo felt a bit tense.
But the ensuing conversation almost caused him to gape in disbelief, nearly standing up from his seat.
“Lord Bo, I’m from the Bi Family. My master wishes to invite you upstairs for a chat.”
This short sentence caused Wu Dazuo’s brain to short-circuit.
Just mentioning the Bi Family wouldn’t evoke much reaction in Wu Dazuo; he might not have much feeling, somewhat slow.
But linking the Bi Family with the words ’upstairs,’ the situation was entirely different.
Even the Lu Family, which seemed unattainable to him before, didn’t have the privilege of going upstairs at the auction.
Compared to the Lu Family, the Bi Family naturally had a higher status!
Faced with such eminent figures and renowned families, Wu Dazuo, with his trivial standing, seemed exceedingly insignificant. He even wished he could shrink into a ball to minimize his presence.
Most importantly, that Bi Family had invited all of Bo Changquan’s group, which naturally included this Diao De Yi?
Their surnames were different, so Diao De Yi couldn’t possibly be from the Bo Family. Why was he eligible for the invitation upstairs?
Even the Lu Family in the front row couldn’t go upstairs, they weren’t invited…
While Wu Dazuo was still pondering, Fang Yu and the others had already stood up.
“Excuse me, this person…”
Seeing Wu Dazuo still seated there, the Bi Family member politely asked.
But Bo Changquan ignored him, directly stepping forward, while Fang Yu smiled and said.
“He’s not with us.”
With that, the Bi Family member immediately understood and jogged ahead to lead the way.
Wu Dazuo suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, but fortunately, those few people didn’t pay attention to him.
Watching Fang Yu and the others leave, Wu Dazuo was left dumbfounded, unsure of what he was thinking. His eyes might show envy, but more than that, there was an unwilling desire and yearning.
This commotion naturally drew quite a bit of attention from those present.
That mysterious staircase leading to the upstairs balcony wasn’t accessible to everyone.
And being able to move from downstairs to upstairs was extremely rare.
Because people downstairs didn’t have the privilege to go upstairs; only when invited by someone upstairs could they ascend and admire the view.
Lu Fu naturally noticed the situation over there.
He frowned.
Because he noticed that one of the group taken to the second floor was a former ’challenger.’
Although at that time the guy was just sitting in his seat, casting glances, Lu Fu still felt that the other party also wanted to challenge him.
“Interesting.”
Lu Fu snorted lightly, showing increased interest in someone.
The competition following the auction seemed like it wouldn’t be so boring after all.
…
Fang Yu was unaware that he was still being viewed as a challenger.
Following the Bi Family member upstairs, they were immediately instructed not to make too much noise.
The auction’s upstairs boxes were reserved for those of uncommon status, and it was best not to cause trouble.
Fortunately, the boxes were all separate, and once the door was closed, no one cared about the outside situation.
Thus, the journey was quite smooth, except for the occasional loud laughter coming from within the boxes where people were enjoying lively conversations.
