Chapter 641 - The Auctioneer of the Guru Sword Appears!

Chapter 641 The Auctioneer of the Guru Sword Appears!

After He Gaoming left, Fang Qiu didn’t directly return to Chic Cloud Pavilion.

Instead, he returned to a room that he had reserved in a hotel not far from Chic Cloud Pavilion.

The hotel room was carefully selected by Fang Qiu.

This room had a floor-to-ceiling window with a wide view. Standing in front of the window, he could see Chic Cloud Pavilion clearly.

Back to the room, Fang Qiu poured a glass of hot water, walked to the French window, and glanced at the direction of Chic Cloud Pavilion.

There were indeed a large number of people gathered at the entrance of Chic Cloud Pavilion.

However, the people of the Four Great Families had all left.

Fang Qiu was slightly stunned and murmured, “Gone? Then, I’ll let you wait a little longer.”

He closed the curtains, turned around, and went back to the bed. Then, he sat cross-legged and began to run his energy to meditate without rushing into anything.

He was not afraid of being seen by these people.

The reason why he didn’t go to get his money at this time was simple.

He wanted to whet more of these people’s appetites.

Fang Qiu was fully aware that the public opinion was getting strong now. As more people were talking about it, more and more people would be curious about him. Presently, only the people that had participated in the auction stood at the gate of the Chic Cloud Pavilion. After a while, more people would come. Even if they didn’t come to the gate of the pavilion, there would definitely be people particularly watching the streets outside the Chic Cloud Pavilion!

This was what he wanted!

Fang Qiu’s current identity was Lin Yu. Tonight was undoubtedly the best time for Lin Yu to show his face in Wulin. It was time for the mysterious man to show his true appearance because only in this way could he avoid the connection between the mysterious man and his other identities, especially Fang Qiu!

The more famous Fang Qiu and John Doe were, the more difficult it was for the two to be connected.

Why didn’t he directly show up at the auction? First of all, it was because Fang Qiu didn’t like to be high-profile. Even if he wanted to show up, it was better to keep a low profile. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be regarded as showing off by going on stage blatantly?

Moreover, all the major forces that participated in the auction were looking for him. If he directly showed his face at the auction, he would be annoyed by the major forces that wanted to fawn over him.

The most important thing was that he needed to be mysterious!

Only by creating a certain sense of mystery and attracting everyone’s attention could Lin Yu’s identity be deeply engraved in the hearts of every person in Wulin.

The number of people who stayed outside of Chic Cloud Pavilion gradually decreased.

In the end, each force only left one or two of their men waiting and monitoring.

These people were hiding in the dark, waiting for the appearance of the person who wanted to auction the Guru Sword.

Two hours later, it was dawn.

People from all the major forces called one after another to ask if the one who auctioned the Guru Sword had appeared.

As a result, they got the same reply, “There’s no sign of the person.”

These people, who were just like paparazzi, could only continue to wait.

Not just these people, the people of Chic Cloud Pavilion were also waiting for the arrival of the young man. They didn’t even dare to sleep.

Soon, another two hours passed.

It was two o’clock in the morning.

In the hotel room, Fang Qiu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.

He got up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and glanced at Chic Cloud Pavilion. After finding that everyone had left, Fang Qiu smiled, left the room, and walked toward the pavilion.

In Fang Qiu’s opinion, more people might not help to make a good publicity effect. Sometimes, when there were fewer people, the publicity effect would be better.

Soon, Fang Qiu arrived outside the Chic Cloud Pavilion.

At this moment, all the scouts of the major forces outside the Chic Cloud Pavilion brightened up.

It was already two o’clock in the middle of the night. It was impossible that anyone would come to do business with Chic Cloud Pavilion at this time.

This man must be the one who had auctioned the Guru Sword!

The scouts of the major forces recorded the video of Fang Qiu entering Chic Cloud Pavilion and sent the videos to their bases.

Although it was very late, people of the major forces were still waiting.

For martial arts practitioners, there wasn’t much of a difference whether they slept or not. Even if they didn’t sleep for the entire night, they only needed to meditate for five minutes to half an hour. Then their energy would be restored.

“Is this man the one who auctioned the Guru Sword?”

“It seems that I haven’t seen him before!”

“He really looks very young.”

“Hey, he looks a little familiar. He seems to be wearing the mysterious man’s outfit.”

“Who on earth is this man?”

“Find it! Find out who this person is!”

As soon as the people of the major forces saw the video of Fang Qiu entering Chic Cloud Pavilion, they began to send people to investigate when they were still in discussion. “Who is this person that I have never seen before? Where does he come from?”

When Fang Qiu arrived at the gate of Chic Cloud Pavilion, he found that there were many people hiding in the dark around him.

However, he didn’t expose it.

He had to rely on these people to expose his face.

As Fang Qiu walked to the gate, he knocked on the door.

There was a knock at the door.

After a while, the wooden door opened.

The middle-aged manager showed his head.

But the moment he saw Fang Qiu, he couldn’t help but be stunned and ask, “You are?”

Fang Qiu didn’t say a word.

He directly took out his letter of authorization and unfolded it in front of the middle-aged manager.

“It’s you?” Upon seeing the letter, the middle-aged manager was shocked. Then, he quickly took a few steps back and invited Fang Qiu to come in.

At this moment, the long and narrow room was still bright with lights.

However, the passage to the auction house had been closed.

After closing the door, the middle-aged manager turned around and asked Fang Qiu with a smile, “May I have your name, please?”

Fang Qiu said, “Lin Yu!”

The middle-aged manager nodded knowingly and then said, “Mr. Lin, I’ve been waiting here for a long time. Please wait for a moment. I’ll go get your things right away.”

“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded.

The middle-aged manager left in a hurry.

One minute later, he returned.

“Mr. Lin, this is what you got from the auction.”

As the middle-aged manager walked to Fang Qiu, he smiled apologetically and handed Fang Qiu a bank card respectfully and said, “399,400,000, not a penny less. You can check online now.”

Fang Qiu took the card, shook his head, and said, “No need. I believe in your credibility.”

“Thank you for your trust, Mr. Lin.”

The middle-aged manager hurriedly thanked him, handed over a tablet to Fang Qiu, and said, “But I still have to ask you to verify it, Mr. Lin. And set a password for this card at the same time. When you walk out of the door of Chic Cloud Pavilion, we won’t be responsible for it whether the money is correct or not. So, you’d better be careful.”

“All right.” Fang Qiu nodded. Instead of using the tablet that the manager handed over, he directly took out his mobile phone and used it to verify and set a password. After all, the security of this mobile phone was much higher than that of the tablet.

“That’s right.” After that, Fang Qiu nodded with satisfaction.

“This is your parchment scroll.” The middle-aged manager handed over another thing. As he took a close look, the parchment scroll was still tied with sealing wax on it.

“I can guarantee with the reputation of Chic Cloud Pavilion that no one has ever opened it,” said the middle-aged manager.

“Thank you.” Fang Qiu thanked him.

This thing was related to another deal, which had nothing to do with Chic Cloud Pavilion. People of Chic Cloud Pavilion had already done their best to do this.

“Mr. Lin, you’re welcome.”

The middle-aged manager laughed and said, “If you have any goods in the future, you can just come to us. We’ll make every effort to help you.”

“Yes, I will.” Fang Qiu nodded.

“It’s been good working with you.” The middle-aged manager reached out his hand to shake Fang Qiu’s hand.

Fang Qiu just shook his hand symbolically and then replied, “It’s nice working with you.”

In order to ease the embarrassment, the middle-aged manager smiled and said, “Actually, although we didn’t charge the service fee this time, we also received a lot of ticket fees. This can be regarded as a balance of income and expense. The point is that your Guru Sword has brought us enough reputation. Now, our Chic Cloud Pavilion can finally live up to the name as the top auction agency.”

Fang Qiu was shocked inwardly as he heard that.

“There was a ticket fee?” He hadn’t paid for the ticket at all.

Had He Gaoming helped him pay for the ticket? Or had they somehow entered the auction without paying?

After saying a few things, Fang Qiu didn’t stay any longer. He declined the middle-aged manager’s invitation to stay at CCP Hotel and left.

When Fang Qiu came out of Chic Cloud Pavilion, the people of the major forces, who had been watching in the dark, brightened up again. When Fang Qiu walked a little far away, they called one by one to ask if they should catch up.

None of the major forces dared to chase after him.

After all, this person’s strength had been fully demonstrated in the auction house. He should be a guru!

This man had never appeared in Wulin, and those major forces could not figure out his character. If they followed and displeased him, they would lose more than gain.

After leaving Chic Cloud Pavilion, Fang Qiu walked all the way back to the hotel.

Along the way, his Divine Consciousness covered a kilometer around him. However, he discovered that those people hiding in the dark weren’t following him.

It was better.

He didn’t have to hide to go back to his room. Since there was no one chasing after him, he could go back blatantly.

Of course, Fang Qiu wasn’t worried at all.

He knew that his face must have been exposed.

At the same time, a post appeared on Wulin online forum’s home page soon. “The person who auctioned the Guru Sword has appeared. Check out the photos and videos!”

Undoubtedly, as soon as this post appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Everyone clicked into the post to have a look.

Sure enough, they saw a photo of a stranger entering Chic Cloud Pavilion at two o’clock in the middle of the night. Because of the street lights, the photo was quite clear.

At the end of the post, there was also a video attached.

On the forum, everyone was astonished as they finished watching the video.

“Is this man the owner of the Guru Sword before the auction?”

“Isn’t he too young?”

“I’ve never seen him before. Who on earth is he?”

“Does anyone know this man?”

“Look at his clothes. It’s exactly the same as the mysterious man. It’s just that he’s not wearing a mask.”

“No way, is he really John Doe?”

Everyone in the forum started to have a heated discussion.

Although Fang Qiu knew that his goal must have been achieved, he still wanted to be sure, so he directly logged into the Wulin online forum with the account of the mysterious man as soon as he returned to his room.

As soon as he logged in the forum, Fang Qiu saw a post mention the name of John Doe on the home page of the forum!
