109: Perception

"This is also good. This way, if there is any news, it will be a good thing for us." Nan Qingyue nodded.

Li Changfeng and Nan Qingyue stood on the rooftop, the two of them looking down at the Long Street.

Following a burst of noisy sounds, many Guards were moving back and forth on the Long Street.

Judging by their attire, they should be the Guards of the Auction House. They held Sharp Weapons, and a cold glint erupted in their eyes.

"Quick, hurry up, everyone keep up!" the person in the lead shouted.

"Move out! Quick!"

"Yes, sir!"

The Guards held their Long Sabers and followed closely behind the commander.

After just a moment.

These Guards arrived on the Long Street.

There were bloodstains everywhere; it looked like a great battle had taken place.

A cold glint erupted in the commander's eyes. After scanning the area, he couldn't help but gasp.

"What on earth happened here!" The commander's pupils constricted sharply; he found it hard to believe.

After the Guards caught up, they revealed looks of astonishment.

"Damn, there's blood everywhere here?"

"Such a thick smell of blood."

"Who fought here?"

"Looking at this scene... this..."

The Guards couldn't help but take a few steps back; some of the less resolute ones even vomited.

Their stomachs were churning!

The commander gasped, struggling to calm himself down.

After a long while.

The commander clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes lit up.

"Someone come here! Go back and inform the Master about the situation here, then give orders down the line that everyone entering the Auction House must be strictly vetted. There absolutely cannot be any accidents; otherwise, you will bring me your head!" the commander shouted coldly.

"Yes, Commander!" The Guards cupped their hands in salute, looking very respectful.

The Guards dared not disobey the commander's words.

After all, only the commander could secure their rice bowls.

"Quick, quick!"

"Move faster!"

"Speed it up!"

The Guards moved in twos and threes; those who needed to report news went to report, and those who needed to guard stood guard.

The commander looked up and scanned the area.

"It really is too strange. If this were a battlefield, there is only this one large crater, while the surroundings are completely undamaged." The commander frowned deeply.

"How on earth did the person who attacked manage this!"

"Their strength is just too terrifying."

The commander clenched his fists tightly, feeling uneasy in his heart.

This happened right near the Auction House.

Lives were lost without them even noticing; the person who attacked must have immense strength!

I hope I am just overthinking it, and the Auction House hasn't been targeted.

"Commander, what's wrong?" Seeing the commander's poor complexion, a Guard hurried forward.

"It's nothing. Let's go. Maintain vigilance and leave this place as soon as possible." The commander sighed.

Seeing the commander like this, the Guard nodded forcefully.

This matter was not easy to deal with.

"Retreat!"

The commander looked up, and a cold glint erupted in his eyes.

Behind him were the lives of a group of brothers. Even if the commander didn't do it for himself, he had to do it for his brothers.

"Yes, Commander." The Guards cupped their hands in salute, looking very respectful.

Rustle.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps.

The commander turned his head sharply, looking in the direction where the sound came from.

"Who is it!" the commander looked vigilant.

"Who is there!"

"Come out quickly!"

After hearing the shout, the Guards all turned their heads, looking in the direction where the sound came from.

The commander had a gloomy Face, and they all wore serious expressions.

The people not far away—they didn't know who they were.

They seemed to have come with ill intent.

"Master, why did you make a noise? Wouldn't it be better if we had less trouble?" Nan Qingyue frowned.

"These people are Guards of the Auction House; it's the perfect time to test their reactions." Li Changfeng naturally had his own plans.

Li Changfeng did not have an Invitation in hand, and if he wanted to enter the Auction House, he would have to use some extraordinary means.

Because of this, Li Changfeng could only test the reactions of these people first.

"The idea is good, but Master, we will get into trouble." Nan Qingyue frowned, she had a bad premonition.

The Guards of the Auction House were no pushovers.

Li Changfeng's actions were easily captured by the Guards.

This Auction House wasn't very safe either.

"Let's go first, they are catching up." Li Changfeng didn't waste words; he grabbed Nan Qingyue and leaped, jumping down from the rooftop.

Thud, a dull sound rang out.

It attracted the commander once again.

"Someone is there, follow me quickly!" The commander's eyes lit up; he turned his head sharply and looked in the direction the sound came from.

The commander raised his hand and made a gesture to move forward.

The Guards immediately stepped forward, rushing over while holding their Long Sabers.

"Who is it!"

"Come out quickly!"

"Otherwise, we won't be polite!"

The Guards were fierce and menacing, and they clenched their fists tightly.

These people were truly not easy to deal with.

Li Changfeng turned his head back and scanned the area; these Guards moved very quickly.

In just a moment.

The Guards had already discovered Li Changfeng's location.

"These Guards are not easy to deal with. If we want to break in, it might be difficult." Li Changfeng had a gloomy Face.

He let out a long sigh, revealing an ugly expression.

Nan Qingyue looked back; these Guards moved very quickly. In the blink of an eye, they had already reached the rooftop. Watching this scene, the strength of these Guards was not bad.

"Master, where are we going?" Nan Qingyue was a bit lost.

Those Guards had already followed them. In just a moment, they would be able to discover Li Changfeng and Nan Qingyue.

And under these circumstances, Nan Qingyue didn't know what to do.

Li Changfeng looked up, scanned the area, and his eyes lit up.

"Let's go, I know a place." Li Changfeng smiled slightly.

Hearing this, Nan Qingyue was overjoyed and asked excitedly: "What place?"

"Let's go, we're leaving now!" Li Changfeng gasped, struggling to calm himself down.

Immediately, Li Changfeng grabbed Nan Qingyue and rushed straight into a small alley, finally hiding in a dead end.

"Master, is this the place you were talking about?" Nan Qingyue couldn't believe it.

If they were discovered here, there would be no way to run.

Three high walls and only one exit. As long as they blocked the exit, Li Changfeng and Nan Qingyue wouldn't be able to escape.

"Rest assured, since we chose this place, we won't let them find us! Besides, if they did find us, wouldn't I lose a lot of Face?" Li Changfeng chuckled.

Li Changfeng was just trying to put Nan Qingyue at ease.

But after hearing this, Nan Qingyue felt even more uneasy in her heart.

After all, hiding in this place—it was inevitable that those Guards would discover them.

At that time, if they were trapped here, wouldn't they be unable to escape!

Nan Qingyue shook her head helplessly; everything could only be left to fate.

"Master, what you said actually sounds plausible." Nan Qingyue sighed.
