Tomb raiding: Start with a proficiency panel

Time flies,

May 1th, 10:00 AM.

The Crescent Moon Hotel was now packed with people, chatting in groups of acquaintances, while Zhou Nanbei was there because of the lively atmosphere.

I gave myself a break and am still fast asleep in bed.

.........

The scene shifts to the auction hall of the Crescent Moon Hotel, where Sheng Sheng Man is directing the servants to greet the guests.

Suddenly a voice came.

"Slowly, where's your little brother?"

Sheng Sheng turned her head and saw a cold-faced woman dressed in black, looking at her.

Sheng Shengman was taken aback.

But looking at the aura it exudes, and that overwhelming sense of sharpness, one can't help but think of...

The things Zhou Nanbei told me about that day.

So he gave a slight bow and said, "Sheng Sheng Man greets Miss Ye."

Last time, Miss Ye,

"Thank you in advance for the gift you gave to my little Nanbei."

Of course, despite saying that, Sheng Shengman inwardly shook her head slightly, because this was merely cleaning up Zhou Nanbei's mess.

Although it might not be necessary?

But as the saying goes, once something is in Zhou Nanbei's hands, it's not going to be thrown out. Sheng Sheng Man naturally understands this.

Ye Xuan shook her head slightly: "No need to thank me, that little guy..."

But my family's benefactor

It's just an antique, but you still haven't answered my question.

Sheng Sheng Man smiled slightly:

"Miss Ye, your timing is unfortunate. Xiao Nanbei took the day off because of today's auction."

He's still sleeping.

Ye Xuan waved her hand upon hearing this: "Never mind then, I'll just wander around by myself first."

When the little guy wakes up,

Remember to tell him that my father wants to see him.

After saying that, he turned and left.

After glancing at her back, Sheng Sheng Man looked away and began to direct and greet the guests.

.........

It was eleven o'clock.

Zhou Nanbei woke up leisurely, and after a short while, got up.

He stretched and yawned.

I got out of bed and went into the bathroom.

.........

At 11:30, Zhou Nanbei went downstairs and immediately heard a lively scene unfolding on the stage in front of him.

Looking at the thugs guarding the door,

He couldn't help but ask, "How long until the auction starts?"

The servant bowed slightly: "Reporting to Young Master Zhou, the first round of auction..."

There's about an hour left.

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly and walked forward, encountering many people along the way, some of whom stared at him with surprise.

Some of them seemed familiar.

But without exception, none of them went up to greet them.

.........

A moment later,

Zhou Nanbei entered the second auction hall and his eyes lit up when he saw Sheng Shengman sitting to the side.

There is no other reason than this.

Just because Sheng Sheng Man was wearing a beautiful cheongsam, even though Zhou Nanbei had seen it many times,

I'll still be attracted.

Zhou Nanbei approached with a grin.

She smiled slightly: "Sister Man, want to grab something to eat with me?"

Sheng Sheng looked at Zhou Nanbei and couldn't help but smile gently.

She pulled Zhou Nanbei onto her lap.

Then he lowered his head and asked, "Little Nanbei,

Did you sleep well?

Zhou Nanbei gave a slight "Mmm": "Yeah, it's been a long time since I slept in."

I slept well today.

Sheng Sheng Man looked like there were hardly any customers left.

We need to entertain them.

He then gave an order to the servant beside him.

"Please take care of them first."

After saying that, he picked up Zhou Nanbei and walked outside.

As we walked,

She began, "Little Nanbei, I saw what you said before today..."

"It's the girl who gave you the hand-pressing cup."

Zhou Nanbei raised an eyebrow: "Sister Man, am I right?"

Isn't it special?

Sheng Sheng Man nodded slightly, recalling the girl's demeanor.

"Hmm...it is indeed very special."

Just like Xiao Nanbei said, she wasn't like a human being.

It looks like a knife.

A finely crafted sword, its edge gleaming.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "By the way, Xiao Nanbei,

The girl also asked me to pass on a message to you; she said it was her father.

I want to meet you.

Zhou Nanbei raised an eyebrow, a strange glint in his eyes: "Sister Man,"

Did you see her father?

Sheng Sheng Man nodded slightly: "Not yet, those guests on the second floor and above..."

It's almost always the last quarter of an hour.

Only then would they enter the auction hall. However, there's one thing my sister knows: that girl is currently in the VIP box.

That is,

Her elders were at least Dan Jin level.

Zhou Nanbei wasn't surprised; after all, listening to Sheng Sheng Man's words, he was already about 80% certain.

This is Michelle Ye.

The younger generation of the person Zhou Nanbei wanted to recruit.

……

During their conversation, Sheng Sheng Man also arrived at the restaurant.

Tell Tingnu a thing,

After finding a table on the edge to sit down, Zhou Nanbei spoke up at the opportune moment: "Sister Man, where are Fatty and the others?"

A few days ago,

They come here every few days, saying they want to broaden their horizons, but why haven't I seen them?

Sheng Sheng Man smiled gently: "I arrived early, but Xiao Nanbei was sleeping at that time."

So, Sister Nanfeng,

They were put in a private room on the second floor.

Zhou Nanbei chuckled and teased, "Sister Nanfeng is really giving me face."

My subordinates

Everyone can get a private room.

As soon as he finished speaking,

A voice, not exactly pleasant but kind, came from not far away: "Because of Brother Zhou's influence..."

Arranging a top-tier private room wouldn't be unreasonable.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Nanbei and Sheng Shengman turned their heads to look, only to see a "hmm... peerless beauty" in the background.

However, there are some issues.

All that could be seen was an elderly woman with silver hair, dressed elegantly and gracefully, being supported by a girl of about 12 years old.

He was followed by six bodyguards.

Zhou Nanbei was still thinking when Sheng Shengman stood up.

She gave a slight bow: "Grandma Huo."

As he spoke,

He then looked at Zhou Nanbei and introduced him: "Little Nanbei,

This is the head of the Huo family, one of the Nine Gates.

Zhou Nanbei came to his senses and finally realized who this person was.

"Huo Xiangu"

As for the little girl next to her, that should be Huo Xiuxiu.

Zhou Nanbei stood up.

He walked slowly to a spot about one meter in front of Huo Xiangu and stopped.

She slightly raised her head to look at Huo Xiangu.

Seeing the kindness in her eyes, he spoke softly, "Fairy Huo?"

"How dare you talk like that?"

Zhou Nanbei turned his head and saw the little girl beside him looking at him with a resentful expression.

Before he could speak,

Huo Xiangu said, "Xiuxiu, you mustn't be so rude."

He then looked at Zhou Nanbei.

He nodded slightly, a smile in his eyes.

"it's me."

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly: "The first thought that came to mind when I saw you was that you were absolutely stunning."

But then I felt it wasn't right.

Until I stood before you, a phrase that suited you finally came to mind.

Huo Xiangu looked at Zhou Yannan with great interest.

He asked gently, "What did you say?"

Zhou Nanbei thought for a moment and finally voiced his thoughts:

Time never defeats a beauty.

Hearing this, Huo Xiangu laughed and looked at Zhou Nanbei, saying with a light laugh, "Little fellow, you're much more interesting than Brother Zhou."

But I, the old lady, am very happy.

As he spoke, he took out a gleaming gold peace lock from his pocket and then removed a jade bracelet from his wrist.

Then he handed it to Zhou Nanbei.

"This is a gift from me, an old lady, to you as a token of our meeting."

Zhou Nanbei was not surprised.

But he pretended not to know and waved his hand slightly, saying, "I can't accept it."

Fairy Huo chuckled lightly: "Take it, it's what it is."

I promised Brother Zhou back then...

"It was originally intended for you anyway. As for this jade bracelet, consider it your reward for making the old lady happy."

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly and accepted it.

"Thank you, Grandma Huo."

Huo Xiangu waved her hand: "It's alright, Grandma, I'll go up first."

The Huo family lives in Beijing.

You are welcome to visit the Huo family sometime.

After saying that, he led his men toward the auction hall.

As for Zhou Nanbei

He tossed the peace lock and jade bracelet in his hand, extremely satisfied. After all, he wasn't just doing this for fun.

Go and compliment an old lady.

Of course, that was also his true inner thought, and Huo Xiangu was worthy of him, but what truly made him do that was...

It was recorded in his grandfather's notes.

"The Debt Chapter".
