"First question, I want to ask you one thing, do you know anything about your grandfather?" Qin Fan asked.

Hearing Qin Fan's words, the doubts on Xiao Chen's face became heavier and heavier, and he wondered in his heart, "Why did the Qin family actually ask for news about my grandfather? What the hell is this?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen opened his mouth and said, "You asked about my grandfather's news, I don't know what you are asking for, we just met in Pingshui, what kind of friendship do we talk about?"

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Qin Fan's face did not show the slightest anger, but instead showed a faint smile.

He said slowly, "I think Xiao Gongzi must not be an ordinary person, right?"

"And the beauties around Xiao Gongzi are like clouds, you are definitely not an ordinary person, so I want to ask about your grandfather."

"Brother Qin, are you suspicious of me?" Xiao Chen opened his mouth to speak, his tone was extremely cold.

Qin Fan's face changed slightly, and he said, "Young Master Xiao misunderstood, I didn't doubt what you meant."

"In that case, let's go to the auction, there will definitely be many people competing for that 10,000-year-old Lingzhi today."

"Okay." Xiao Chen said indifferently.

"Let's go, I'll take Xiao Gongzi to see the scene of the Ganoderma lucidum auction, and by the way, I can also help identify the price of Ganoderma lucidum, whether it's worth selling."

Qin Fan smiled, his tone was very enthusiastic, as if he had regarded Xiao Chen as a friend.

"Well, since Brother Qin sincerely invited, then I might as well be respectful."

Xiao Chen did not refuse Qin Fan's kindness, and immediately got up and walked towards the outside of the manor.

"Qin Fan, you won't betray Xiao Gongzi, right?"

Seeing Qin Fan leaving with Xiao Chen, a masked man in black asked.

When Qin Fan heard this, the corners of his mouth flashed with a sneer: "Don't worry, we are grasshoppers on a rope, I will not betray you."

"That's the best, let's go along."

When the black-clothed masked man heard this, he quieted down and continued to follow Qin Fan.

......

On the periphery of the manor, a huge square is already crowded with people.

Qin Fan's ears sounded the sound of the system again.

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for finding the hidden quest and obtaining the 10,000-year-old Lingzhi.

The task is detailed: On top of this auction conference, win the 10,000-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.

Reward: 5,000 points.

Failure Penalty: 100% of resources dropped, 100,000 XP deducted."

"System, are you sure you're not mistaken? We just need to snatch that 10,000-year-old Lingzhi?"

After listening to the system's prompts, Qin Fan couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, host, you better hurry up and get the 10,000-year-old Lingzhi, otherwise I'm afraid you won't even be able to drink the soup when it's too late." The system urged.

"Okay. In that case, I'll give it a try."

Although he didn't know how difficult this hidden task was, since the system had given him one million points, Qin Fan felt that he still had the strength to fight.

Immediately, Qin Fan led many young people to the gate of the manor.

The estate occupies a huge area, occupying nearly 1,000 acres of the entire city, and around this square, rows of elaborate pavilions have been built.

Qin Fan took Xiao Chen into a beautiful pavilion and went to the second floor under the guidance of the servant.

As soon as I ascended to the second floor, I could see an old man in a green shirt sitting on a chair, leisurely sipping tea and enjoying the snacks delivered by the servant.

This old man in a green shirt looks ordinary, looks like a weak scholar, and looks like an old man next door.

After Qin Fan saw the old man in the green shirt, he immediately walked over and called out politely, "I have admired the name for a long time, and I am under Qin Fan."

Hearing Qin Fan's words, the old man in the green shirt said lightly, "Oh? Qin Gongzi also knows me? I don't know what you're doing?"

"I heard that Xiao Gongzi said that you have a 10,000-year-old Lingzhi, so I came here to ask for advice." Qin Fan said with a smile.

"It turned out to be

10,000 years of Lingzhi came." The old man in the green shirt nodded slightly.

"I wonder if this 10,000-year-old Lingzhi has been auctioned off? If it is not auctioned, I am willing to pay twice the price for silver." Qin Fan said with a smile.

"Well...... old man in green shirt suddenly became a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"Why, aren't you willing to sell us the Ten Thousand Year Lingzhi?" Qin Fan asked, still with a faint smile on his face.

"Not really." The old man in the green shirt shook his head and spoke.

"It's just that this 10,000-year-old Lingzhi has been auctioned off by me, and now its price has reached as high as six million taels of silver."

"Six million taels of silver? That's too high, isn't it?" When Qin Fan heard this, he couldn't help frowning, his eyes full of surprise.

In Qin Fan's opinion, the price of this 10,000-year-old Lingzhi should not exceed five million, but who would have thought that it would be auctioned for a price of six million taels.

"This 10,000-year-old Lingzhi is indeed very precious, but I think that with Childe's financial resources, I will definitely be able to get it easily, so I am not worried." The old man in the green shirt said with a smile.

"Hehe, since it has been auctioned off, then Qin will not force it." Qin Fan said lightly, with a smile on his face.

Qin Fan didn't plan to bid for the 10,000-year-old Lingzhi with Xiao Chen, but he just wanted to use this move to test it to see if Xiao Chen could afford to buy the 10,000-year-old Lingzhi.

Seeing this, the old man did not refuse, and immediately spoke.

"In that case, Qin Gongzi should find another home, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

"Alright then, farewell." Hearing this, Qin Fan nodded.

Xiao Chen behind him turned around and wanted to leave, but Qin Fan suddenly called out to him and asked, "Young Master Xiao, please wait a minute."

"Young Master Qin, what's the matter?" Hearing Qin Fan call him, Xiao Chen stopped.

"Xiao Gongzi, I hope Xiao Gongzi can tell me the rules of the auction." Qin Fan said.

"What are the rules of the auction?" Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"Yes, the rules of the auction, if it is an auction item, you must not use any means and rights, only if you are strong, then you can buy what you want." Qin Fan said.

When Xiao Chen heard this, he immediately nodded: "That's right, the auction items must rely on their own skills, otherwise it will only be a waste of silver."

"That's right, that's right, thank you Xiao Gongzi for reminding me." Qin Fan nodded in praise.

"Hehe, then we'll take our leave."

Xiao Chen nodded slightly, and then turned around and left the Qin family's mansion.

As soon as Xiao Chen left, Qin Fan, who had been standing at the door, immediately ordered someone to prepare a carriage and galloped towards the auction house.

Along the way, Xiao Chen didn't find any danger, and he didn't encounter anyone else.

When he came to the auction house, Qin Fan immediately took Xiao Chen to the VIP room and waited for the auction to start. Soon, the time for the auction came.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the time of the auction at our auction house, and I announce that the auction has officially begun."
