Mu Xue smiled slightly, her slender fingers gliding over the Golden Feathers Robe: "The value of this Golden Feathers Robe is fifty million."

Upon hearing Mu Xue's words, a shocked sound filled the entire auction hall.

Fifty million Baijiao coins, to many, it's an astronomical figure.

"Not just fifty million, to buy this robe, there's another condition: the buyer must protect the seller's safety for life."

Hearing Mu Xue's words, everyone couldn't help but secretly sigh at the seller's shrewdness.

Stealing this robe from Huaxia's treasury would certainly lead to being hunted by the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance, meaning whoever bought this robe would inevitably become enemies with them.

"Everyone, when you buy this robe, you must think carefully. You might end up enemies with the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance. Can you afford this price? Moreover, Baijiao City guarantees the seller's protection. If the buyer cannot keep the promise, they will also be added to our city's wanted list," Mu Xue's voice turned slightly cold as she spoke.

Upon hearing Mu Xue's words, many of those initially interested in the robe had flickering gazes.

The Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance is not to be trifled with. Offending them for a robe, they naturally had to calculate if it was worth it.

"Alright, now everyone can start bidding," Mu Xue smiled faintly.

"Seventy million." At this moment, Yuan Lang was the first to bid.

"Oh my!" Lin Chen was speechless, thinking he'd made a lot of money just now, only to find he didn't even get a chance to bid.

"Alright, we can leave now," Lin Chen said, feeling frustrated.

"Lin Chen? You're not watching the auction anymore? I still want to see who wins the robe," Alice said discontentedly.

"Miss, we're here to complete a task, not to watch the excitement," Lin Chen shook his head.

Lin Chen knew this auction was just a contest ground. Whoever won the Golden Feathers Robe would find it difficult to take it away.

"You guys keep an eye on the back door. If someone gets into the seller's car later, keep a close watch," Lin Chen said coldly.

"And you?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Me? Since we're leaving Baijiao City, of course, I need to exchange Baijiao coins for currency that circulates outside," Lin Chen laughed.

Zhang Yu and the others went to ambush by the back door, while Lin Chen entered the exchange hall behind the auction house.

Entering the hall, Lin Chen handed his VIP card to a maid, who then showed him into a private room.

"Sir, please wait a moment. Miss Mu Xue will personally attend to you after the auction ends," the maid said respectfully, pouring Lin Chen a cup of tea.

Lin Chen nodded, glanced at the tea, and drank it directly.

The maid was stunned for a moment. Few guests here dared to drink the tea directly.

After all, many came from the underground world, naturally cautious about the possibility of poison in the tea.

In fact, Xiao Shuai had already tested it for Lin Chen; the tea was top-grade Tieguanyin, not poisoned.

Lin Chen sipped the tea, lost in thought.

About half an hour later, a charming figure entered with a dazed Zhou Yufei in tow.

"Hehe, Mr. Lin, sorry to keep you waiting," Mu Xue cheerfully appraised Lin Chen, speaking respectfully.

"It's nothing. The auction ended so quickly," Lin Chen asked.

"Yes, it's over. Sir, here is your gold card. After deducting the amount for the two treasures you bid on and the taxes, the rest is all in there," Mu Xue said with a smile.

"Oh, please exchange them for Huaxia Coins," Lin Chen said directly.

"So, is Sir planning not to stay in Baijiao City any longer?" Mu Xue asked.

"Yes, I have other matters to attend to," Lin Chen replied coldly.

"Okay, I'll have them exchanged for you right away, but a small fee will be charged," Mu Xue said.

"No problem," Lin Chen nodded.

Mu Xue called over a maid and handed her the gold card: "Go and exchange this for Huaxia Coins for the gentleman."

"Yes," the maid replied, taking the gold card and leaving.

"Sir, here are the treasures you won and one female slave."

Mu Xue handed Lin Chen a millennium blood ginseng and then pushed Zhou Yufei in front of him.

Lin Chen felt his heart ache looking at Zhou Yufei. After years apart, he didn't expect her to end up in Baijiao City, sold as a slave.

Using x-ray vision, Lin Chen could see Zhou Yufei was under the influence of some mind-altering drug.

He tapped a few acupoints on Zhou Yufei's body, and her previously vacant eyes finally cleared up.

Zhou Yufei looked at Lin Chen, stunned at first, then rubbed her eyes: "Am I dreaming?"

Lin Chen felt a pang of heartache: "Yufei, you're not dreaming; it's me."

"Lin Chen!" Zhou Yufei cried, throwing herself into Lin Chen's embrace.

"Yufei, didn't you go to the Sword Sect? How did you become a slave?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

"Lin Chen, our Sword Sect was annihilated," Zhou Yufei said, her eyes red.

"What happened?" Lin Chen's expression slightly changed.

The Sword Sect was also one of the hidden worlds in Huaxia, very powerful, yet it was obliterated.

"I don't know. That day, many people in black came and attacked our Sword Sect. Although the Sect Master, elders, and brothers fought hard, we were no match for them. Finally, the Sect Master and several elders died in battle, and I was captured," Zhou Yufei said sadly.

"Who did it?" Lin Chen asked.

Zhou Yufei shook her head: "They all wore masks; it's impossible to tell who they were."

"Damn, no wonder there's been no news from the Sword Sect recently; they were annihilated. If not for Lin Chen awakening Zhou Yufei, he wouldn't know such events occurred in Huaxia martial arts."

"Alright, it's okay now. Follow me, we're going back to Huaxia," Lin Chen said, patting Zhou Yufei's shoulder.

"Okay!" Zhou Yufei nodded vigorously.

At this moment, the maid returned: "Mr. Lin, after deducting the auction and exchange fees, you now have 130 million in your account."

"Such a hefty fee. Lin Chen was speechless. He earned over 200 million from the auction, yet they took half as fees, showing how greedy the auction house was."

"By the way, who bought the Golden Feathers Robe in the end?" Lin Chen asked Mu Xue.

Mu Xue smiled: "The robe was bought by Blue Lotus of Black Sail."

"Blue Lotus, not the Yuan family? Looks like there's going to be some excitement," Lin Chen's lips curved into a cold smile.

"Thank you, Miss Mu Xue. I must take my leave," Lin Chen, after getting the auction update, prepared to leave.

"Please wait, sir." Mu Xue suddenly called after Lin Chen.

Lin Chen stopped, puzzled: "Is something the matter?"

"Mr. Lin, these medicines were concocted by you, weren't they?" Mu Xue asked with a charming gaze, staring at Lin Chen.

"No, a friend of mine entrusted me to auction them," Lin Chen said indifferently.

"Sir, don't lie to me. From your aura, I can tell you're a pharmacist. Would you consider joining Baijiao City?" Mu Xue asked, her eyes captivating.
