Chapter 1501 Time is the most precious thing

Upon hearing this, Tianhui couldn't help but chuckle dryly. Given his status, he had never received such "courtesy" before. He wasn't afraid of the imperial army, but this grand "welcome" made his scalp tingle. What he feared most was being overly polite to others; such politeness sometimes became an unavoidable burden.

The chief referee of Usentan, standing to the side, seemed quite used to the banter between the two. With his hands behind his back, his gaze sharp and fixed on the auction that had already begun downstairs. His eyes were as keen as a hawk's; even a casual sweep could take in a vast amount of information.

As the security chief for this auction, Usentan not only shoulders the heavy responsibility of accompanying Tianhui, but also ensuring the safety of the entire Nanding Auction House. With his Douhuang strength, anyone who dares to act recklessly here will face severe punishment. So far, no one has dared to cause trouble under his nose.

However, at this tense yet peaceful moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. The unexpected knock startled the three people in the room, and they all turned around and looked towards the door.

Immediately afterwards, an exquisitely pleasant voice rang out, "Lord Tianhui, may Nightingale enter?"

The voice was as melodious as a clear spring in a valley, and as sweet as the warbling of a nightingale in spring. With just one sentence, it was as if one was immersed in a wonderful world of music.

A flicker of doubt crossed Tianhui's eyes, but it was quickly concealed by his deep gaze. He coughed lightly to cover his lapse in composure, then said in a deep voice, "Are you Miss Nightingale? Please come in."

As he finished speaking, the door was slowly pushed open, and a slender figure appeared in their sight. She wore a light purple dress, the hem swaying gently like a blooming violet. Her long hair was as smooth as silk, falling to her waist and swaying gently with her steps.

Nightingale entered the room with light steps, a faint smile on her face, her clear eyes sparkling with wisdom and confidence. She first gave Tianhui an elegant bow, then turned to Usentan and the fat man, nodding slightly in acknowledgment.

"Miss Ge'er, what brings you here?" Tianhui asked with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible inquiry.

Nightingale parted her red lips slightly, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze, "Hearing that Lord Tianhui and Chief Justice Usentan are here, I have come to pay my respects. Would I have the honor of sharing a drink with you two?"

As she spoke, she gently raised the tray in her hand, on which were placed three glasses of fragrant wine. The wine was as dazzling as a ruby, and its aroma was captivating.

Tianhui and Wusentan exchanged a glance, a knowing smile flashing in their eyes. They naturally understood that Nightingale's purpose was not merely a simple visit and toast. However, this genius young woman from the Nightingale family was always known for her wit and strategy, and they were also eager to see what new tricks she would pull this time.

Tianhui nodded, gesturing for Nightingale to sit down. The four of them sat around a round table and began their "wine tasting." However, this was not just a simple wine tasting; it was a contest fraught with hidden agendas. In this contest, each person was trying to uncover the other's true intentions while carefully protecting their own secrets.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the room gradually became more lively. Nightingale, with her wit and eloquence, successfully steered the conversation towards the auction and the future of the Nightingale family. She subtly inquired about Tianhui and Usentan's opinions on the auction, while simultaneously revealing some of the Nightingale family's latest developments in the business world.

Tianhui and Wusentan remained remarkably composed, occasionally nodding in agreement and offering unique insights. The fat man, meanwhile, observed everything silently, his eyes gleaming with cunning and curiosity. He knew this "wine tasting" was no ordinary event, but he was also pleased to witness it, as it presented him with a rare learning opportunity.

As the four chatted and laughed, the climax of the auction quietly arrived. One precious item after another was sold, each transaction causing quite a stir. At this crucial moment, Nightingale demonstrated her true strength, successfully acquiring several extremely valuable items for the Nightingale family with her keen business acumen and decisive decision-making ability.

The "wine tasting" ended in laughter and joy.

"Come in." Tianhui's voice broke the brief silence. He quickly snapped out of his reverie, his face regaining its usual calm and composure.

As he finished speaking, the door was gently pushed open, and a slender figure appeared in everyone's sight. It was a beautiful woman dressed simply yet elegantly; her appearance seemed to brighten the entire room. Her long, wavy, beige hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, swaying gracefully with her steps and exuding a faint fragrance. The white shirt accentuated her refined气质 (qi zhi, a kind of elegant and refined demeanor), as if an innate aristocratic air was effortlessly revealed.

The woman's face was exquisitely beautiful, her features even more striking and captivating with light makeup. A polite smile played in her eyes, while her naturally composed demeanor revealed her maturity and wisdom. Such a woman, wherever she was, could not conceal her dazzling radiance.
