My Ares Son-in-Law

The auction that Qin Fang had so confidently promised should be approaching its due date.

This auction is of great importance to Xiao Chen. Although his cultivation speed is now many times faster than that of ordinary people, it is still too slow for him.

He was like a traveler groping forward in the dark, desperately needing to find a guiding light to illuminate his path. Good medicinal herbs or antiques containing ancient spiritual energy were the precious resources that could make his cultivation journey smoother.

Why hasn't Qin Fang informed me of the specific time and place yet?
Xiao Chen frowned, feeling somewhat irritated.

Just as Xiao Chen was thinking about this, he heard the doorbell of the villa ring.

The crisp sound of the bell seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet villa, instantly pulling Xiao Chen back from his thoughts.

He stood up, walked over with steady steps and opened the door. He saw Qin Fang standing outside the door, looking disheveled.

His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, like glistening pearls rolling down his cheeks.

His breathing was rapid, and his chest heaved violently, as if he had just gone through a vigorous run.

His face showed anxiety and relief at finally finding someone, and his eyes revealed a sense of relief.

"Mr. Xiao! We've finally found you!"

Upon seeing Xiao Chen, Qin Fang immediately spoke excitedly, his voice trembling slightly with nervousness and excitement, "I went through so much trouble to find your address..."

"I asked around everywhere, asked many people, and went to several places. I almost thought I would never find you again."

As Qin Fang spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, his movements appearing somewhat flustered.

Xiao Chen then suddenly realized that when he made the appointment with Qin Fang, he was so focused on the auction that he seemed to have forgotten to exchange phone numbers...

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression, an embarrassment like a thin layer of mist shrouding his face.

"Mr. Qin, I'm so sorry, it was my oversight that caused you trouble."

Xiao Chen quickly said, his tone tinged with apology, an apology that was like a warm spring breeze, trying to ease Qin Fang's anxiety and dissatisfaction, "Please come in and sit down, have a cup of tea."

As he spoke, Xiao Chen stepped aside to make way, made an inviting gesture, and showed a sincere smile on his face.

Qin Fang, however, seemed afraid of wasting time, and hurriedly waved his hand, shaking his head like a rattle drum, saying repeatedly, "No, no, Mr. Xiao, you are too kind."

"Recently, a sudden change has occurred in my family. It's like a huge rock has been thrown into a calm lake, causing turbulent waves. I'm overwhelmed with trivial matters, and I urgently need to go back and take charge of each one."

"I really can't rest easy if I don't go back in person."

As he spoke, Qin Fang carefully took out an exquisite envelope from his pocket. The envelope was made of superior material, with a soft luster and delicate dark patterns printed on it.

He held the envelope with both hands and respectfully handed it to Xiao Chen, saying, "This is a gold-embossed invitation to the auction. You can enter with this."

"I went to great lengths to get this invitation; the exact address and time are printed on it clearly." "The auction will officially begin at 3:00 PM sharp, not a second later."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you in person at that time. I'm really tied up at home, like I'm being held in an invisible net. I can't spare the time."

"But don't worry, Lingling will accompany you throughout the whole process. She is very familiar with the auction process and the exhibits, and will guide you and introduce them to you so that you will not have any inconvenience."

Xiao Chen nodded slightly, his eyes filled with understanding and concern. He was about to ask a few more questions about what had happened to the Qin family and express his sincere gratitude, as well as his willingness to do his best to help if he could.

However, Qin Fang had already hurriedly clasped his hands in a fist salute, his movements swift and decisive, as if lingering for even a second longer would delay important matters.

Immediately afterwards, he turned and walked away quickly, his steps hurried and flustered, revealing an obvious anxiety, as if a ferocious beast was chasing him.

He took large strides, the soles of his shoes scraping against the ground with a "thump-thump" sound that was particularly clear in the quiet air, as if telling of his inner anxiety.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen wanted to ask what kind of difficulties the Qin family had encountered, perhaps he could lend a hand with his own abilities and connections. After all, Qin Fang had helped him a lot before, and now that he was in trouble, he naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

But seeing that Qin Fang left so hastily, disappearing from sight like a gust of wind, they could only give up for the time being.

He glanced in the direction Qin Fang had left, frowned slightly, and secretly made a mental note of the matter, planning to find out more about the Qin family after the auction.

Then, Xiao Chen lowered his head and stroked the exquisitely crafted invitation in his hand.

The invitation was printed on thick, high-quality paper that felt smooth and delicate to the touch. The gold lettering on it shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight, as if telling the story of the grandeur and extraordinary nature of the auction.

A faint smile of anticipation crept onto Xiao Chen's lips, a smile as round as a crescent moon, carrying a hint of mystery and longing.

"Hopefully, I can find something suitable today."

Xiao Chen murmured to himself, a determined glint in his eyes.

He knew that this auction was crucial to his cultivation. The medicinal herbs and antiques containing powerful spiritual energy were like keys that could unlock new doors on his cultivation path and allow him to reach new heights.

He secretly resolved to find what he needed at the auction and not waste this rare opportunity.

At exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, but its intensity was somewhat blocked by the magnificent building in front of the Qinren Club in the ancient city, leaving only dappled light and shadow.

This clubhouse is located in a bustling area of ​​the ancient city. Its exterior is antique yet exudes a modern luxury atmosphere. Brilliant lights are embedded between the eaves and brackets, and two majestic stone lions at the entrance seem to be guarding this luxurious place.

The area in front of the gate is bustling with traffic, with luxury cars coming and going in a constant stream. The roar of engines and the chatter of people blend together, highlighting the lively and extraordinary atmosphere of the place.

An ordinary taxi, somewhat out of place amidst the bustling scene, smoothly came to a stop in front of the clubhouse.

The car door slowly opened, and Xiao Chen, dressed in a well-tailored black suit made of exquisite fabric, stepped out.

The black suit clung to his figure, making him appear even taller and more slender, like a model straight out of a fashion magazine. (End of Chapter)
