With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

When they arrived at the auction, the people in charge of the auction immediately recognized them.

Or rather, they immediately recognized the gold rimmed black mask that they wore.

Even though Ye Qing Huan and Lin Fan didn't have an invitation to join the auction, that wasn't a problem. The gold rimmed black mask was all the invitation that the two of them needed.

The staff members immediately rolled out the red carpet for them and led them into the tower in front of everyone.

The way that they entered the tower was quite high profile, but it didn't seem like Ye Qing Huan was bothered by this.

She even went forward to hook Lin Fan's arm as they went in, which made Lin Fan reveal a bitter smile.

He could see the way that everyone was looking at him.

Even if their faces were hidden, Ye Qing Huan had a body that was more than enticing enough. So there were many people who looked at him with envious gazes, though they didn't dare do anything.

They were under the misconception that Lin Fan was the one that was leading them, rather than Ye Qing Huan being the one leading them.

Lin Fan knew that this wasn't the reason why she did this.

There was a part of her that most likely did this since she wanted everyone to know that he was hers, but the bigger part of it was that she wanted everyone to see how great he was. That was why she put herself in a lower role and made him stand out in front of everyone like this.

Lin Fan really didn't want to stand out since that wasn't the kind of thing that he enjoyed, but there was nothing that he could do since it had already happened.

So the only thing that he could do was…

Lin Fan started looking around at the crowd surrounding him.

All of them were surprised to see him looking at them like this, but they quickly wilted under the gaze that he cast on them.

Since he was acting as a high profile young master, naturally he needed to put pressure on them.

What young master would let others stare at his companion like this?

This actually made Ye Qing Huan even happier as she held his hand even tighter.

The only thing that Lin Fan could think during this time was…

"Where did it all go wrong?"

The moment that he bumped into Ye Qing Huan.

That was the moment that it had all gone wrong.

From the beginning, he had been planning on lurking in the shadows and gathering information about his enemies. However, that plan was ruined the moment that he bumped into Ye Qing Huan in the underground cave…

From then on, she gave him everything and it seemed like everything was in the palm of her hands.

From then on, he had to act high profile like this.

Once they entered the tower, they were shown to the top floor where there was a VIP room waiting for them.

Judging by the other doors that were here, it seemed like there were other VIP rooms.

At the same time, judging by the servants that were moving around, it seemed like there were others that were already in the other VIP rooms.

It seemed like half of them were occupied, though there could be other people in the other VIP rooms that they didn't know about that just didn't need service from the auction tower.

Or that was what Lin Fan thought before Ye Qing Huan asked, "How many others are here?"

The staff member who was showing them the way pointed at the other VIP rooms and said, "There are five others that are here today."

There were a total of eight VIP rooms, so it seemed that it was more than half full.

Then the staff member pointed at the remaining two VIP rooms and said, "The others will be arriving shortly. We are completely booked today, so please be sure to act fast if you want to get the items that you want."

The way that he said this made Lin Fan immediately understand what they were doing.

Lin Fan had thought that it was strange that this staff member would reveal all this information about the other VIP guests. After all, being a VIP member should mean that their information was protected even more.

However, the latter half of the staff member's words made it clear what they were trying to do.

They were trying to deliberately raise competition between the VIP members.

They knew that the VIP members would have a lot of influence on the people that were in the main hall. As long as the VIP members made a bit, it would put a lot of pressure on the people down below.

It would make it hard for the normal people attending the auction to bid if the VIP members were to bid.

The only ones that could actually bid against them were the other VIP members.

That was why they were trying to raise the spirit of competition between the VIP members by revealing this information.

By making them aware of each other, they would want to outbid each other since they were all VIP members.

Only VIP members could bid against VIP members.

Not to mention, the VIP members would have the most money.

So that was the best way for the auction to make a profit.

A normal auction wouldn't do something like this since it would harm the relationship with their members. However, it wasn't the same for an auction in the black market where everyone kept their identities hidden.

There was no relationship with the members, the members were only here because they wanted the items that the black market offered.

So there was no need to care about maintaining these relationships.

Ye Qing Huan just gave a simple nod before heading into the room while pulling on Lin Fan's arm.

The staff member was about to follow them in with some other servants who looked like they were planning on serving then, but Ye Qing Huan just raised her hand to stop them.

Then she waved her hand at them to simply say, "No need."

The staff member and the servants looked awkward seeing this, but there was nothing that they could do.

All the staff member could do was bow his head to say, "Please don't hesitate to call if there's anything that you need, dear guests."

This time, he spoke with more respect compared to before.

Only Ye Qing Huan ignored him all the same.

Lin Fan shook his head with a faint smile, but he still followed her in.

When they were in the room, he was planning on taking off the gold rimmed black mask, but Ye Qing Huan stopped him.

It didn't seem like there was anyone watching over them in this place, but she quickly pointed out a few things that he caught with his Appraisal Eyes.

As expected of a black market auction, they really didn't care about their customers.

There were arrays for monitoring that were placed all over this room.

After stopping him, Ye Qing Huan put a ring down on the table before finally saying with a sigh, "It feels better now."

Lin Fan was surprised, but he could tell that there was a barrier coming from the ring.

It seemed that Ye Qing Huan really had all kinds of things with her.

"This ring only blocks the sound and creates an illusion, but it doesn't hide your aura." Ye Qing Huan warned Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was certainly surprised by this warning, but it seemed that the black market was quite thorough that they even had something monitoring their aura.

So he just gave a simple nod in response.

Ye Qing Huan didn't hesitate to pull him over so that she was sitting beside him before grabbing his arm again and leaning against him. The way that they sat on the couch was just like lovers relaxing.

Lin Fan really didn't know how to feel about this, but there was nothing that he could do.

The only thing that he could do was pay attention to the auction down below.

The people were still filing in, so it seemed that it would take a while before it started.

Or that was what he thought when he was suddenly interrupted by a voice that said, "Let's begin the auction!"

There was no introduction, there was no hype, it just began all of a sudden.

A black market auction really was different from a normal auction in that they didn't care about any of the flourish that a normal auction had. They were just here to sell items, they weren't here to make people loyal to their business.

That wasn't strange since the items that they sold were mostly illegal items to begin with.

They just wanted to get rid of the items for the highest price as soon as possible.

The first item that was brought up was a robe.

It was a strange pure white robe, but it wasn't just any normal robe.

This was a robe that was made from Frigid Ice Silk Moths and was a perfect armour for anyone that was yin attributed.

This was a robe that was perfect for Senior Sister Bing.

Only Lin Fan didn't make a bid since he knew that they weren't here for fun.

Even if Lin Fan didn't make a bid, that didn't mean that someone else didn't.

"A hundred spirit stones."
