The poorest rich man novel (Chen Hao)

Chapter 739 Auction

“You’re so sharp-witted, Master Chen. Half a year ago, I stumbled across an expert whose family was

skilled in the martial arts and had a large group of followers. He was hired by our family’s rival to bring

us down and assassinate me. He was really formidable; more than a dozen of my professional men

could not even get near him. It was almost as if he had god-like skills!”

“After that, my son and several bodyguards sacrificed their lives to keep me safe. Although I managed

to flee quite a distance, his vital energy still struck me. His vital energy merely brushed against me, but

I nearly lost my life right there and then!”

Shen Tiangang’s eyes were filled with terror as he shared his experience with Chen Hao.

It was apparent that the incident was very traumatic for him.

Chen Hao nodded understandably.

It was no secret that there was a huge disparity between a person who possessed vital energy and the

average commoner.

However, there was an unwritten rule for people who possessed vital energy: they must not get overly

involved in the affairs of common people.

A case like Shen Tiangang’s was a first for Chen Hao.

Uncle Chen had mentioned this earlier; these Mystique Clans were not the most formidable people of

all. Even if they had total control over a specific territory, they were certainly not the most powerful.

He had stumbled across true cultivators in this world who were from the same country.

Their vital energy was similar to Uncle Chen’s, but they did not come from Border Realm.

Therefore, he concluded that the world was just too big.

Chen Hao no longer naively thought that this was the limit of the world, how he did in the past.

“Ever since then, Master Chen, our family business has been monopolized, and I’ve passed on all my

hopes onto my granddaughter. This is why I beg you, Master Chen from the Dragon Temple, to accept

her as your disciple, so that you can turn her into a true cultivator!” said Shen Tiangang.

“Alright, let's take things slow. Let me heal your internal injuries first!”

Chen Hao could sense that Shen Tiangang was speaking the truth.

It must have been so miserable for him.

Furthermore, he had already accepted Shen Piaopiao as his disciple; the least he could do was to give

him some dignity.

At that moment, Chen Hao summoned his Golden Vision, healing Shen Tiangang of his injuries!

The Shen Family of the Ji Province used to be a reputable family in the area.

However, the tragedy half a year ago had torn the entire family apart.

Now, they were just an average family who owned a few small companies.

After sealing off the Dragon Mountain, Chen Hao and Zhu settled down in Shen’s residence for the

time being.

Shen Tiangang gave everything he had, and took good care of Chen Hao.

At the same time, he had sent all of his men to locate Master Ghost’s whereabouts.

Chen Hao had also searched the entire Ji Province for the Master Ghost but to no avail. There was no

information whatsoever on Master Ghost’s location.

During his free time, Chen Hao would guide Shen Piaopiao on her cultivation journey whilst diligently

cultivating himself in the yard as well.

However, Chen Hao was shocked when he realized that his body’s cultivation had significantly slowed

down.

There was also something else that puzzled him.

“They have already been in my body for four or five days. What is this? If Ziyan was here, she would

surely know what it is!”

Chen Hao was looking inside his body.

He could see five discs of different colors circling around his Energy Centre in an orderly fashion.

Though they looked colorful, it was weird seeing them appear.

Chen Hao had tried to touch them with his psychokinesis, but there was no response from the discs. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

At first, Chen Hao was not very concerned about them because they were only colorful spots on his

Energy Centre in the very beginning.

However, things did not seem good now. Those spots had clearly matured as they were exhibiting

some regular patterns.

Although Ziyan was not there by his side, Chen Hao did not want to let things be. He started

rummaging through his memories, trying to find a solution to it.

He had a feeling that these five-colored discs had something to do with his cultivation reaching its limit

yet again.

“Master, are you still in the midst of cultivating?”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door and Shen Piaopiao came in.

“What is it?”

“Grandpa said he found an important lead!”

“Oh?”

Chen Hao’s eyes went wide. He knew that it must have something to do with the Master Ghost.

In an instant, he exited the room.

“Master Chen, my men brought these photographs. Have a look at it!”

Shen Tiangang handed the photographs over to Chen Hao, who took a good look at them.

The photograph showed the inside of an expensive glass cabinet.

A fly whisk was lying quietly there.

Chen Hao’s eyes glistened the moment he saw the fly whisk. It was one of Master Ghost’s belongings.

“This belongs to the Master!”

Zhu started to speak.

“Master Chen, you gave us a photo of Master Ghost before. When my men stumbled upon this fly

whisk, they noticed that it matched the one in the photo you gave us. So, they quickly took a photo of it

before coming back!” said Shen Tiangang.

“Furthermore, it appeared in the largest auction in the entire Ji Province! You mentioned earlier that the

Master Ghost might be going through a tough time. Is it possible that things had been so difficult for

him that he decided to auction off his fly whisk?”

Chen Hao shook his head. “How can this be possible? With a talent like Master Ghost’s, he can easily

make a living off of it. He would certainly not sell his fly whisk just to make ends meet! Anyway, let's go

and visit the auction first. It is best if we can find any information on the Master Ghost. This is an

important lead!” Chen Hao urged.

“Alright then, I will make the arrangements promptly. The auction will begin tonight. By then, reputable

figures from all over the world will gather there. If we want to find a lead on Master Ghost, this will be a

good chance for us to do so!” said Shen Tiangang.

Zhu mentioned that the Master Ghost had predicted that a tragedy would fall upon him, and that it

would occur in the Ji Province.

Did the discovery of this fly whisk meant that something had happened to the Master Ghost?

Truth be told, Chen Hao had a bad feeling about this.

It was soon night time.

A group of people had arrived at the venue of the auction.

“What a coincidence! Isn’t this Uncle Shen? Uncle Shen has not shown up in events like this in the Ji

Province for a long time. Is the Shen Family here to turn your lives around? Is that why you have the

time to come here and partake in this auction?”

When Chen Hao and the rest arrived at the entrance, a few luxurious cars happened to arrive at the

same time as them.

A young master dressed in a white suit stepped off from the car, with a bodyguard following him from

behind. The first person he laid eyes on was Shen Tiangang.

There was another man dressed in a black robe standing beside this young master. The man was

draped in black, giving off a creepy aura to the people around him.

Chen Hao’s eyelids could not help but twitch. Perhaps it was because he had been receiving so much

information from people who wore black robes lately. After that, he continued to glance at the old man

several more times.

What surprised Chen Hao was the vital energy flowing in this man’s body.

Was he a cultivator?

Chen Hao was astonished.

Why was a formidable cultivator willing to be treated like a slave?

Shen Tiangang’s eyes filled with rage as he looked at the young man.

“Duan Feng!”

Shen Tiangang was infuriated. However, when he saw the old man standing beside Duan Feng, his

entire body was filled with fear.

“Grandpa!”

Shen Piaopiao walked up to her grandfather in a fit of rage, but Shen Tiangang grabbed onto her wrist

swiftly, signaling her not to act recklessly!
