Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1459 - 1456: The Auction Begins

Ghost and the other person opened the wooden box and saw the invitation inside. The patterns were ancient, and the two words "Langya" carried a deep sense of artistic conception.

"Who wrote these characters? They have a sense of unity with heaven and man," Ghost said in surprise.

Lin Tian glanced at Ghost, not expecting this guy to have some appreciation ability. But then again, he practiced the Ancient Yoga Skill, which focused on meditation in unity with heaven and man.

"These words should have been written by a master from the Ling family. As for who it is, I don’t know." Lin Tian waved a chicken leg, indicating that he wasn’t sure. In fact, he was also curious about who had written such words.

"By the way, Brother Tian, an hour ago, a girl was shouting your name in the courtyard, and she seemed quite angry," Ghost suddenly said.

"Shouting my name?" Lin Tian was taken aback, then quickly realized, "You mean Situ Ruoling, right? Just ignore her."

"Brother Lin, what did you do to her?" Yun Xiaotian asked curiously.

"Nothing much, just tied her up..." Lin Tian nonchalantly recounted the process of tying someone up.

"Wow, Brother Tian, you’re amazing, daring to mess with such a Little La Jiao." Ghost said exaggeratedly.

Lin Tian snorted lightly and said, "Little La Jiao? I think it’s more like Ghost Pepper."

Regarding the Nine Reversals Marrow Changing Pill, Lin Tian didn’t mention it. The next thing was to wait, wait for the auction to start. Lin Tian wanted to see how much his Shaoyang Pill would fetch.

Earlier, Xiao Manxue had mentioned that a Shaoyang Pill could fetch a high price of a million on the black market. What does a million mean? It’s enough to change the fate of an ordinary person.

In the next two days, the West Courtyard became more lively. When Ancient Martial Artists met, the first thing they talked about was the auction. The only thing that puzzled Lin Tian was that no one from the Situ family showed up, let alone Situ Ruoling coming for revenge. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

On the third day, Wang Wanxi, whom hadn’t been seen for days, finally appeared, showing up early in Lin Tian’s guest room.

"Lin Tian, I have an invitation that allows three people to enter the auction venue. You three can come with me. Even if we don’t buy anything, seeing those rare treasures is an eye-opener," Wang Wanxi glanced at the three and advised.

But as she finished speaking, she noticed the expressions on the three were a bit strange, or rather, Ghost and Yun Xiaotian looked different, both looking at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian scratched his brow, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Uh, Aunt Wang, you take those two in. I still have some things to do."

Previously, Lin Tian had advised Ghost and Yun Xiaotian not to mention the invitation. Wang Wanxi slightly furrowed her beautiful brow, puzzled, "Are you sure you won’t enter the venue?"

Lin Tian blinked but didn’t say yes or no. Wang Wanxi nodded and said, "You’re always decisive in your actions. Do as you see fit. You two, come with me. The auction is about to begin, and it starts at half-past nine, so don’t miss the time. Even if you have an invitation, you can’t get in if you’re late."

She looked at Lin Tian, seemingly directing her last sentence at him, then left the guest room with Ghost and Yun Xiaotian, leaving Lin Tian alone in the room.

Once they walked away, Lin Tian closed the door, pulled out a set of black clothes and a black iron mask, then dressed up in them, checked himself in the mirror to ensure nothing was amiss, and walked out.

At the door, Lin Tian activated his super vision to survey the situation at the West Courtyard. Confirming everyone had left, he pushed the door open.

The entire West Courtyard was quiet. Every Ancient Martial Artist had long gathered towards the auction. Although many couldn’t get into the venue, it didn’t dampen their enthusiasm.

Every time an auction starts, it is a grand event for the Ancient Martial World because unexpected rare treasures always appear. Even if you can’t get them, witnessing them is a blessing.

In Lin Tian’s view, these Ancient Martial Artists were just bored. After all, the path of cultivation is often lonely, and finding a reason to gather and spar adds some fun to the monotonous cultivation life.

When Lin Tian reached outside the courtyard, he remembered not knowing the venue’s location. Fortunately, this was not a problem for him. With a thought, he activated super vision, and the nearby situation appeared before his eyes.

Hundreds of meters away, many people were heading in one direction. No need to guess; the auction must be in that direction. Lin Tian checked the time; it was five minutes to nine. If the auction starts at half-past nine, considering the convention of large gatherings, entry would start half an hour earlier.

This means there were five minutes until the entry began. Lin Tian quickened his pace and headed towards the venue.

Even before reaching the venue, he could hear the noise ahead. Soon, an ancient building emerged between hidden trees. As he got closer, he saw large windows on the wall of the building, inlaid with colored glass.

Using glass for windows was the ancient way, and only wealthy families could afford it, as glass was a rare commodity in ancient times. But it must be said that compared to normal windows, glass windows have more charm.

Many people had already gathered in front of the ancient building, men and women, old and young. The older ones waited patiently while the young ones discussed recklessly, causing the noisy sounds.

Lin Tian was almost the last to arrive. As soon as he appeared, he became the focus of everyone’s attention, not because he had theme music or a shining aura, but because his outfit was so out of place with everyone else.

The people present wore casual clothes, sportswear, suits, shirts, and even Tang suits and traditional robes. But like Lin Tian, in black clothes and a black iron mask, resembling a reaper from the night, it was hard not to draw attention.

Lin Tian had seen much bigger occasions, so this focus was naturally stress-free. He ignored the stares, walked to one side, and stood alone.

"Who is that? Why is he wearing a mask?"

"Doesn’t seem like someone from those families. The major families are already here. Maybe an enigmatic master?"

"Are you stupid? To ordinary people, we Ancient Martial Artists are enigmatic. Where else would an enigmatic master come from?"

Not only ordinary Ancient Martial Artists were discussing, but people from the major families also frequently glanced at Lin Tian. They didn’t want a dark horse appearing at the auction to compete for the rarities.

If anyone understood best, it was Ghost and Yun Xiaotian. Seeing Lin Tian’s "quirky" attire, they almost burst out laughing.

Just as everyone was speculating about Lin Tian’s identity, the sound of a gong drew everyone’s attention, followed by a loud announcement.

"Auction entry begins. Please present your invitation to enter. Those without an invitation are prohibited from entering. Trespassers bear their own consequences!"
