Chapter 17: Meeting an Old Friend
Upon entering the club, Chen Feng glanced around the magnificent and spacious hall, then walked directly towards a room on the side. On the door of the room, there were three big characters shining in gold: "Treasure Appraisal Room".
"The appraiser of Wutan City should be that shameless old Gu Ni."
Thinking of the upcoming meeting with an old acquaintance, Chen Feng unconsciously showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Pushing the door and entering, the room was somewhat empty, with only a middle-aged man sitting somewhat bored on a chair next to him.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, the middle-aged man raised his head and looked at Chen Feng, who was dressed in luxurious clothes.
A professional smile quickly piled up on his face:
"Young master, are you here to appraise treasures?"
"Where is Gu Ni? Isn't he here? Let him come and see me."
Seeing that it wasn't Gu Ni inside, Chen Feng frowned immediately.
Hearing Chen Feng directly calling Master Gu Ni's name, the middle-aged man's heart jumped. Looking at the "young master" temperament on the other party, he asked cautiously:
"Who are you, young master?"
Chen Feng didn't bother with small talk, and directly took out a green token from his storage ring and handed it over. On it, a lotus flower was clearly engraved.
The middle-aged man took a look at the token and his face changed immediately. He quickly returned the token to Chen Feng, and his expression became even more respectful:
"Young master, please wait a moment, I will immediately go and notify Master Gu Ni."
With that, he hurriedly left the appraisal room.
The green lotus token that Chen Feng took out can only be owned by the direct descendants of the Mitter family.
This middle-aged man is just a manager of a branch. Knowing Chen Feng's identity, he naturally felt fearful and dared not show any disrespect.
After waiting in the room for a while, the middle-aged man returned. This time, however, he brought with him an old man in a green robe with somewhat white hair.
"Young master, this is our auction house's Master Gu Ni." The middle-aged man introduced.
Chen Feng looked over and saw a somewhat similar medicine furnace painted on the chest of the old man in the green robe. On the surface of the medicine furnace, two silver ripples were shining with a noble aura.
Clearly, this old man was a second-grade alchemist.
The old man looked full of red light, and although his green robe seemed ordinary, it had a faint glow flowing on it. Obviously, this robe should have been enhanced with some magic crystal protection.
On his ordinary old face, there was a trace of arrogance that every alchemist must have.
"Who are you?"
Gu Ni looked at the handsome young man in front of him, scrutinized him carefully, and frowned slightly. He felt somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember for a moment.
"Master Gu Ni, long time no see, you don't even recognize me now."
Seeing Gu Ni appear, Chen Feng took the initiative to speak.
Although Gu Ni is only a second-grade alchemist, in this world, every alchemist is extremely precious, so he also has a decent status in the Mitter family.
Because Gu Ni was recruited into the family by the second elder of the Mitter family, who is Chen Feng, Chen Feng has been familiar with Gu Ni since he was a child.
"You are... Young Master Chen Feng!"
Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, a flash of light flashed in Gu Ni's mind, and then he blurted out.
"Master Gu Ni, it's been a long time, don't come here unharmed." Chen Feng nodded and admitted his identity.
"Young Master Chen Feng, it's really you, why did you come to Wutan City?"
Seeing Chen Feng nodding, Gu Ni was even more surprised. With Chen Feng's identity, appearing in this Wutan City was indeed beyond his expectation.
He looked at Chen Feng, and after not seeing him for many years, Chen Feng's appearance had changed a lot compared to the past, and he had become more mature, which made him unable to recognize him for a while.
"Oh, I understand, you are here to see Miss Yafei."
Soon, Gu Ni thought of something and showed an ambiguous smile on his face.
He has known Chen Feng since he was a child, and he has cooperated with Yafei for many years, so he naturally understands the intimate relationship between the two.
Chen Feng ran all the way from the imperial capital to this Wutan City, and he couldn't have come to see this old man.
This shameless old man!
Seeing the "cheap smile" on Gu Ni's face, Chen Feng couldn't help but slander in his heart.
He knew this old man's character very well.
Don't look at him as if he is high-minded on the surface, but in fact, he is not serious at all.
When Chen Feng was ten years old, this old man encouraged him to go to a brothel.
If it weren't for Chen Feng's adherence to his heart and his righteous refusal, he would have been overindulged and ruined his body by now.
Thinking about it now, Chen Feng felt more and more fortunate.
If he hadn't refused this old man back then and indulged in the land of fireworks all day long.
Now even if he activated this system of having many children and blessings, he would be powerless.
"Know it's good, where is Sister Yafei? Don't you take me to see her."
Chen Feng rolled his eyes, knowing that this old man was not serious, and simply stopped pretending, and his tone became no longer polite.
"Going to the Xiao family? What for?" Hearing this, Gu Ni was somewhat puzzled.
Chen Feng was about to speak, but his gaze suddenly went to a corner of the hall.
That was where the staff of the Mitter Auction House entered. Just now, it was still calm, but now it suddenly became a bit noisy, as if some big figure had walked out from there.
Chen Feng looked over and soon saw a bit of bright red and a vague charming figure.
His gaze moved down, and Chen Feng immediately saw a pair of red boots. The heels of the boots were somewhat sharp and they clicked on the smooth bluestone floor, making a crisp and pleasant sound, like a string of wonderful notes.
Chen Feng's gaze moved up a bit, and a pair of slender white legs appeared in his field of vision, which was somewhat eye-catching.
"These legs are really white!" Chen Feng couldn't help but praise in his heart.
