Wuyan didn't know that anything Yang Yan praised was already proven to be extraordinary.

"Oh! It's another one. This is actually quite interesting. For something like this to happen, isn't Huaxia's government stepping in to intervene?"

The handsome man showed a hint of a wicked smile, stared at the dagger, and spoke meaningfully.

His voice was light, yet it clearly reached Yang Yan's ears.

However, Yang Yan knew that he still hadn't been discovered.

It was just that he used a special method to make people from the Hidden World hear his voice.

With his eyesight, he obviously knew this dagger was real.

But it's no wonder he's curious; having one of these things appear is one thing, but having two in succession with no one stepping up is quite intriguing.

So he simply provoked them directly, trying to agitate Huaxia's government officials.

Unfortunately, apart from the old man in the last row and the woman beside him whose expressions subtly changed, the entire auction hall remained calm.

"Forget it, since even Huaxia's government doesn't care, why should we unrelated people worry!? If it's a good thing, then just buy it."

The handsome man said with a smile, still using the same method to deliver his voice to the ears of those in the Hidden World.

"Ten million!"

The handsome man didn't care how much others shouted; he opened his mouth and directly reported the same price as before, then leisurely took a swig from his jug.

As the handsome man shouted his bid, a sudden exclamation erupted from the surroundings.

They'd seen wealthy people, but seeing someone so flamboyant while being rich was a first.

The auctioneer, upon hearing this young man shout ten million again, was so excited he was speechless.

This item's estimated selling price was around three million, and now it's fetching the same price as the previous dagger, making him overjoyed.

To know that the items he auctioned come with commission.

Exceeding the estimated price, they have a percentage return.

Now, with two items both fetching ten million, he's nearly earned two million just from these two items, surpassing his annual income, so how could he not be excited!

"Ten million once, ten million twice..."

He knew this item had actually been sold; the current chants were just formalities, who would offer a higher price for a dagger?

"Ten million third..."

However, surprises always occur.

Just as the auctioneer prepared to hammer down, a sudden sound emerged from the floor:

"Twenty million!"

Bang!

The floor instantly boiled over.

Among them, many had attended such auctions numerous times, but they had never encountered a bidding price soaring so high above the base price.

"Twenty... twenty million? Hmm! This venerable gentleman bids twenty million."

The auctioneer was crazed with joy.

Today must be his lucky day; both daggers fetched sky-high prices.

Moreover, observing the handsome man's determined expression, it seems this item's price could still rise significantly!

The handsome man smiled faintly, slowly turned to glance at the old man, and then his gaze settled on the woman beside the old man.

A hint of a wicked smile appeared at the corners of his lips, then he turned his head away, not continuing to bid.

Thus, the last auction item, "Sarahville", was finally successfully bought by this mysterious old gentleman at an astonishing price of twenty million, leaving the auctioneer in a state of mixed emotions.

"Who is that old man? And who is the woman beside him?"

Yang Yan couldn't help but turn his head and ask Jianghai softly.

"That old man is Xu Lianjiang, a local from East Sea City, and he's a veteran figure in the Xu Family. The girl beside him is Xu Yi, his granddaughter."

"Eighteen years old, attends Third High School, but is a kind of recommended student; early next year she'll directly attend Yanjing University in Kyoto."

Jianghai whispered.

"Uh... Xu Yi? Did you say her name is Xu Yi?"

Yang Yan trembled and immediately asked.

Jianghai's expression was momentarily dazed.

He didn't understand why Yang Yan didn't inquire about Xu Lianjiang or the Xu Family but asked about the girl Xu Yi.

Nevertheless, he nodded:

"Yes, her name is Xu Yi. Eighteen now, soon to be nineteen. She was supposed to attend Yanjing University last year, but for some reason, she didn't go."

"I heard she had been in communication with Yanjing University not long ago, and will go directly there next year. What's wrong, any problem?"

Yang Yan gently shook his head:

"Nothing."

After confirming that she was called Xu Yi, Yang Yan couldn't help but recall past events.

To be precise, he and this Xu Yi had a bit of a past encounter!

However, this Xu Yi shouldn't be eighteen; she should be twenty-three.

Due to certain circumstances, she lost five years of her time.

He got acquainted with her at that time.

"Sigh! Didn't expect to meet again!"

Yang Yan sighed heavily and spoke softly.

"What's wrong? You know her? Logically, you shouldn't know her! She spent her childhood abroad and only returned to Huaxia a few years ago. You were supposed to be over there at that time!"

Jianghai frowned slightly, full of doubt and said.

Yang Yan seemed very interested in Xu Yi; hence, he also became curious about the great lady of the Xu family.

"Because of certain matters, we can be considered acquainted. You go and tell your Lion over there that this guy with the jug isn't ordinary; tell him not to come over here, it'll be redundant anyway."

"Ask him to directly contact that old fellow, saying it's me who said this, and ask him to get his martial brothers to come forth, otherwise, Huaxia's Hidden World will be in chaos. He won't be able to handle it alone."

Yang Yan, after speaking, glanced again at the handsome man, then lowered his voice and said to Jianghai:

"Help me send her back, protect her, don't let anything happen like before."

"Are you in trouble?"

Wuyan, upon hearing Yang Yan tell this unfamiliar man to send her back, couldn't help but ask with concern.

A woman's sixth sense is always strong.

She seemed to have already sensed something wasn't right.

"Yes! I have some matters to handle today. He will send you back. Don't worry, although this fellow looks a bit ugly, he can be considered a good person."

Yang Yan paid no heed to Jianghai's expression, speaking to Wuyan self-assuredly.

"Are you going to confront him?"

Upon hearing Yang Yan say such things, Jianghai was so worried he didn't care about being called ugly, and hastily asked.

"Not necessarily; it depends on his attitude. Rest assured, even if there's a showdown, it'll happen in the Hidden World, not impacting the real world. Otherwise, destroying half of East Sea isn't worth it, even if I defeat him."

Yang Yan said with a smile, his eyes full of confidence.
