Chapter 199 The Dark Age

...

An hour and an hour were used to read books in the library, but no matter how much Yan Xiaobao searched, he did not find any other Dark Ages or Dare Sin. Yan Xiaobao pushed the envelope far enough and even asked Teacher Li if he had ever heard of Dare Sin, but the teacher said no, and looked at his expression, it was obvious that he did not lie.

He sighed as he sat in the library again, tirelessly chasing a bunch of heavy books. He knew that it was unlikely to find more clues, but he would seize any opportunity. Unfortunately, it was not the time to deal with the mystery of the Dark Ages, so he packed up the books he borrowed and bowed a little as a farewell to the librarian, and then returned to his yard.

I've spent the last few days in the library because he's repaired the pure line, but tonight is different. Tonight he doesn't have luxury to cultivate all night, and tonight he needs to sleep.

The week was much faster than expected, Yan Xiaobao knew that despite the mystery of the Dark Ages and the Great Sin in his mind, he had to overturn other emergencies; he had to put his last drop of focus on the upcoming event the next day. The day of the auction was on him.

Yan Xiaobao asked himself to squat on the bed, his eyes closed instantly, and he fell into a deep sleep without a dream.

The next morning, Xu Yue woke up for a long time and felt more refreshing than he felt, and quickly collected the items he needed for his trip. First, his conical hat, followed by blue clothes, and finally a few coins left when he sold the pills.

Unlike last time, Yan Xiaobao did not travel with Rong Twins, and no one knew that he was leaving the academy today, so just as the sun rose, he rushed out of the academy gate and rushed towards Liluo City.

Although the distance is easier to pass through the carriage pulled by horses, even a low-ranking student had a pretty good speed, but Yan Xiaobao was not in a hurry to reach the destination. The auction did not start until the evening, so it took Yan Xiaobao four hours to reach the city gate.

After returning to the city, Yan Xiaobao found a stall selling street snacks. He bought a bread full of jam for breakfast. The bun was warm and sweet. After running for several hours on a cold and running morning, Yan Xiaobao and Lan Feng were very satisfied.

After walking a few hours at random, Yan Xiaobao observed a random hotel where he could stay.

He obviously had the option to check the same way as last time, but doing so would make it more likely that he would have his true identity seen by others.

When Yan Xiaobao walked through the city, he walked through a poorer area and noticed that no one was moving around in the bustling streets.

Suddenly, a heavy smell surged onto Yan Xiaobao, attacking his nostrils with a very familiar smell. In his life, he had experienced how his whole world turned into a red ball, this special disgusting iron-like smell.

Yan Xiaobao glanced at the empty street in front of him, and he noticed a black invisible man observing him. The cloak completely covered his face, but Yan Xiaobao felt that he had no intention of shooting a killing from inside. Yan Xiaobao turned around and walked away, then folded his hands together and bowed deeply to the man.

During his entire journey, Yan Xiaobao could feel the man in black observing him, but he did not follow him.

As Yan Xiaobao walked into the main road, he felt the sunshine on his skin, as if the whole world had changed. Previously, he felt as if he was submerged in a tank full of ice water. He did not feel the sunshine, and the light became dimmed. He did not see the people around him, but now, the city is full of vitality.

It is obvious that this black invisible man used some kind of magic, but Yan Xiaobao didn't know why it didn't work on him. At present, Lan Feng was hiding far away in the Qi Cave, waiting for them to stay away from the black invisible man.

It was obvious that he killed someone, but he did not think he was a cold-blooded murderer because he ignored Yan Xiaobao, causing the white-haired boy to shrugged gently and ignore the black invisible man again.

Although he killed someone, murder is a common thing in this new world. Since he had never killed Yan Xiaobao before, he probably wouldn't chase him in the future. As for who he was and why he murdered, Yan Xiaobao did not think it could be leveraged.

After a few hours passing different roads and alleys, Yan Xiaobao finally arrived at a hotel where he checked in. It was a colder hotel than the previous one, however, it would be what Yan Xiaobao needed.

The room itself is very small. There is only a single bed and a sink in the room, but these things are what Yan Xiaobao needs.

Before changing his clothes and taking off his conical hat, Yan Xiaobao quickly washed himself into the sink. Although he left the academy early, he still had to move to the black market auction house very quickly. First, it took him four hours to get to the city, and then he walked over. After seeing the black invisible man, Yan Xiaobao walked for a few more hours, and now there are two hours left before the auction begins.

Arriving at the auction house this time was even more different. The managers were stationed on the streets and greeted Yan Xiaobao with respectful bows and arrows. As soon as he arrived, he immediately passed it to the manager through the memory stone, causing the old man to go down the stairs to greet their guests.

"Old Mrs. Li," he said with a deep bow, Yan Xiaobao nodded and replied with a smile on his face.

"Please follow this servant into the hall we prepared for the auction. We have built the most beautiful balcony for you to overview the auction, and we hope it will satisfy you."

Yan Xiaobao raised an eyebrow in surprise. The manager could not see the reaction, but from inside the conical hat, a melodious and childish voice said:

"Thank you, the manager, I appreciate your help."

The manager and all the guards felt a shock wave rushing out of their entire bodies, as the sound left the expert among them. Although the voice was gentle and friendly, there was a profound power inside, and there was no doubt about the expert's cultivation.

The guards did not follow the black market auction house building, but returned to patrol immediately after they bowed respectfully and bid farewell to Yan Xiaobao.

The manager personally led Yan Xiaobao to the balcony of the main auction hall on the second floor. This balcony is enough to accommodate 10 people, but the entire balcony is reserved for 'her', and a servant is placed outside to ensure that the expert 'Li Fen' gets everything she's wanted.

Although a large number of nobles arrived early, none of them were allowed to enter in front of the disguised Yan Xiaobao. Now "she" sat in her "balcony", the door finally opened, and Yan Xiaobao saw the panoramic view of Liluo. The upper class of the city was flowing into the auction hall, similar to a tribe on Black Friday.

The first floor was filled with chairs of small nobles and merchants; mercenaries and richer middle-class civilians were placed. Other balconies were reserved for the most powerful nobles in the city.

The first open balcony was Lord Rongliang's one, but Yan Xiaobao witnessed who entered the balcony and frowned deeply.

Yan Xiaobao had expected Rong Liang to bring Bubu and some guards. However, even his two children, there were seven black invisible people among the people entering the balcony, which was exactly the same as what Mr. Yan Xiaobao encountered before.

After seeing these unknown people, Yan Xiaobao felt his sweat and his inner troubles. Logically speaking, Yan Xiaobao fully realized that these experts would not recognize him as a boy from earlier.

Earlier, Yan Xiaobao became a student only by relying on his own cultivation base, and his aura was his own, but now everything they could feel when they saw Yan Xiaobao was Lan Feng's aura.

Yan Xiaobao calmed down and looked at the expert. Although Lan Feng let his spiritual energy penetrate, he still didn't say a word. He devoted all his energy to his soul and cooperated with Yan Xiaobao to achieve their merger halo.

The man in black asked their eyes to sweep over Yan Xiaobao, but all they did was nod and Yan Xiaobao answered politely. Lord Rongliang seemed to treat these people higher than him, so Yan Xiaobao thought they came from the royal family.

The man in black no longer paid attention to Yan Xiaobao, and his nerves gradually relaxed. Instead, they turned to Lord Rongliang and looked at him. It seemed that they were talking, but he could not hear anything from such a distance.

Lord Rongliang showed a very humble and respectful posture, and he seemed to agree with what he said, because he nodded and bowed slightly to the invisible person.

When Yan Xiaobao saw the city lord showing this hospitality and respect for these black invisible personnel, he was confused. Obviously, they were a person better than him, or some unknown experts.

Who are these people? Yan Xiaobao was thinking about it when he observed the balcony opposite. Why did Lord Rongliang show such respect and humility to others? Perhaps, this might be the royal family? Yan Xiaobao was shocked because his eyes widened under the conical hat. He observed the man in more detail, but no matter how much he saw, he could only see seven black invisible people sitting down, Lord Rongliang stood beside them.

They were sent by the royal family, because the two skills of the auction were excellent, which made perfect sense.

While waiting for the auction to begin, Yan Xiaobao observed other balcony. When his eyes fell next to Rong Liang, a thief appeared on his face.

In this balcony, five people were sitting, and the other five guards stood behind them, looking very serious. One of the five people sitting down was a child who was almost the same age as Yan Xiaobao, and he was immediately identified as Wang Julong.

Although Yan Xiaobao is a little looking forward to seeing Wang Julong participate in the auction, this is still something he enjoys very much. If the Wang family wants to buy this skill, it would be like a waste of a lot of money, but if they can't afford it, they will suffer jealousy, resulting in a slight decline in the family atmosphere.

This is an incredibly slight way of thinking, and even Yan Xiaobao knows how small he is, but when Wang Julong is involved in something, he loses all his reasoning. Obviously, the previous battle ended with a draw caused a slight trauma to Yan Xiaobao. In his previous world, Yan Xiaobao never discovered his equality, and at the same time, his first person in this world was equal to him.

Although the person is hailed as a genius and this lost a little reward for Yan Xiaobao's confidence, he refused to admit that Wang Julong is equal. He will definitely show who is the best at the right time, especially once he manages to complete the business through this auction and get some powerful pills.

In fact, Yan Xiaobao doesn't want to be in the black market auction house at the moment. Participating in the auction itself is very dangerous. With so many people, even the slightest mistakes, they are easily noticed and his cover will be blown up.

Unfortunately, Yan Xiaobao has no other choice. Whenever a student leaves the college, the student will write down the name and time of the student's departure. If the teacher has obtained information about the student's disappearance within the time frame of the expert's arrival, they will conduct an investigation.

Obviously, no one would think that Yan Xiaobao is the expert above, but he could not be a disciple. Especially considering the number of advanced martial arts skills he has demonstrated so far.

This in turn will bring serious danger to student Yan Xiaobao, rather than the expert's 'Li Fen'.

Finally, Yan Xiaobao decided to go all out to launch his imagined expert figure, because Lan Feng promised that if it conflicted directly, he would be able to protect the two of them. Even if he couldn't win, Lan Feng was sure that when he no longer focused on the merged aura, he could at least take them to a safe place.

At first, when the guests started to arrive, Yan Xiaobao was full of excitement to see how much profit he could make from these two skills, but once the black cloak man entered the battle, the excitement had turned into worry. When he looked at Wang Julong, his heart was burned, and this worry in turn became trouble.

Lan Feng couldn't make fun of Yan Xiaobao at the moment because his entire focus was on controlling the halo. Obviously, this kind of trouble was much longer than what he usually did. Finally, Yan Xiaobao sighed deeply and replaced himself for Lan Feng. His eyes slid to the next balcony, where another scene made him frown slightly.

This balcony obviously belongs to the Deng family. Yan Xiaobao originally expected to see Wang Julong, but today some people might be Rong twins, or even Hong Kong. However, he did not expect to see Deng Wu.

Deng Wu is considered an average talented boy. On the other hand, his personality is different from anyone who belongs to the descendants of the general public. People who are brought to auctions of this scale are usually considered very important in their families. Seeing that Deng Wu has attracted Yan Xiaobao's attention at present. It is obvious that Deng Wu is not exactly what he claims to be, but his behavior is so obvious that Yan Xiaobao can't help but think that he intends to let Yan Xiaobao pay attention.

As if Deng Wu could understand Yan Xiaobao's thoughts, he turned around and looked at the expert's conical hat, and smiled knowingly, telling Yan Xiaobao clearly that he could see through the disguise of the respected "Li Fen".

Yan Xiaobao sighed on his lips, because he felt that not everything was going as planned, but he could do nothing. Now he just sat down and continued to scan the rest of the guests.

Looking back at the audience, Yan Xiaobao noticed that Shanping and Wang Jingshen were sitting together. For some reason, the brother was not qualified to sit with the top brass of the Wang family on the balcony they reserved, which caused Yan Xiaobao to raise his eyebrows in surprise.
