Gu Qingluan nodded. “There’s no need to.”

Great!

From now on, he could openly call her “Mother”!

Feng Yuanxi’s face lit up with a big smile.

The carriage arrived at the Lushi Auction House.

The entrance of the auction house was bustling with activity, with influential and prestigious figures arriving one after another.

At that moment, a luxurious carriage also pulled up at the entrance.

Stepping down from the carriage were Gu Zhixin, Gu Jinrong, and Gu Jinyue from the second branch of the Gu family.

Coincidentally, the two parties met at the entrance.

Gu Jinyue sarcastically said, “Not everyone can come to the Lushi Auction House. Some people have no self-awareness, and if they get stopped, it will become a joke.”

“Hello, please present your invitation.” the gatekeeper said.

Gu Jinrong handed over three invitations.

The gatekeeper granted them entry, but instead of hurrying inside, the three of them chose to stay and observe the scene unfolding before them.

Due to Mr. Liu’s involvement, the invitations for this auction were in unprecedented demand. Many people had specifically come from out of town just to compete for the spirit medicines offered by the Island of No Return.

This time, it was said that the Island of No Return would provide a bottle of Ninth-Graded Spirit Pills!

Previously, when the Island of No Return offered its Ninth-Grade Spirit Pills, it attracted people like bees to honey.

The allure wasn’t just due to the fact that the Seventh-Grade Spirit pills from the Island of No Return were as effective as Eighth-Grade or even Ninth-Grade ones from other sources. It was also because the medicines from the Island of No Return were free of side effects. Rumors circulated that their efficacy rivaled that of Sacred-Grade Spirit pills.

Who could resist such temptation?

The news had been spread several days ago, and those who could make it had rushed over.

Even people from the neighboring country had come.

If there had been more time, the number of attendees would have been even greater.

However, due to the overwhelming turnout, the auction house couldn’t accommodate everyone. As a result, they meticulously selected only the most prestigious and influential guests for this event.

The Gu family, being the foremost noble family in Chengyuan Kingdom, naturally received coveted invitation letters.

But Gu Qingluan had severed ties with the Gu family and now resided in the “Jun Mansion.” In the eyes of outsiders, she was nothing.

No money, no influence. How could she enter the auction?

Not only did the Gu family think this way, but others who knew her identity also believed she would surely be stopped.

Su Lie handed over three invitation letters.

The gatekeeper received them with both hands, briefly examined them, and returned them to him.

“Please proceed.”

“Wait!” Gu Jinyue suddenly spoke up and stood in their way at the gate.

Since everyone was looking forward to some excitement, no one blamed her for delaying the entry.

“What’s the problem, miss?” the gatekeeper asked.

Gu Jinyue said, “Have you carefully examined their invitation letters? How could Gu Qingluan possibly have an invitation letter?”

The gatekeeper thought she was being unreasonable. “Please rest assured, the invitation letters from our Lushi Auction House have special markings. I just checked them, and there is no issue.”

“That invitation letter might have been stolen by her! Given her status, she would never receive an invitation letter. Today’s attendees are all highly distinguished individuals. If someone impersonates them, not only will the person who lost their invitation suffer great losses, but who knows what her intentions are? She might harm other distinguished guests. If something goes wrong, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear the responsibility,” Gu Jinyue argued.

Iler words made the gatekeeper worried.

Others nodded in agreement, saying, “The young lady makes a valid point. Suspicious individuals should absolutely not be allowed inside!”

Seeing everyone siding with her, Gu Jinyue looked smugly at Gu Qingluan.

Hmph!

Gu Qingluan, now that you’re separated from the Gu family, you are nothing! You can’t even enter the doors of this auction!

The gatekeeper, feeling pressured by everyone’s words, turned his gaze towards Su Lie. “Or perhaps, let me take another look at your invitation letter. 1 didn’t see it clearly earlier.”

The guard was flustered by everyone’s words. His gaze fell on Su Lie’s hand. “Why don’t you show me your invitation letter again? I didn’t see it clearly just now..”
