Chapter 33 The Unexpected Guest

However, his calmness made Shen Yi panic.

Even if Bai Han were to question her directly, Shen Yi would probably have been this anxious. “Master, I…” Shen Yi bit her lip and put on a fake smile. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Do you think you can hide it from me?”

Shen Yi remained silent.

After cultivating, Shen Yi was more and more aware of the huge gap between her and Bai Han.

If Bai Han did not notice this, Shen Yi was confident that no one would know.

However, he knew the truth now. Could she really hide anything from him?

“I… I saw it. “Shen Yi licked her lips nervously and did not look at Bai Han.

“Why?” Bai Han’s tone remained calm as if he was simply curious about why she hadn’t helped Gu Shishi.

Shen Yi swallowed. “Master, Gu Shishi and I are competitors. If she is abandoned by the brands because of the news, I’ll have even more chances. There aren’t many opportunities in the entertainment industry, so we all have to fight for our parts by pushing others out.”

That was why Shen Yi did not speak up for Gu Shishi even if she had known the truth.

In her opinion, Gu Shishi became her senior apprentice by accident, and they were still rivals.

She was different from Gu Shishi. She would not be so foolish as to give up on the entertainment industry and focus on cultivation.

Shen Yi could tell that she was more talented than Gu Shishi. Whether it was cultivation or her career in the entertainment industry, she wanted both.

“You like acting? Or do you like to sing and dance…” Bai Han gave a few examples.

Shen Yi was stunned. “Honestly, I am not very passionate about these things.’ Compared to performance, fame in this industry attracted her more.

Bai Han saw her expression and understood what she meant. “After you have achieved success in your cultivation, you will have reputation, status, and money, right? Owning everything will be like a piece of cake for you.”

Shen Yichen was stunned.

Bai Han didn’t say anything more. “Think about what I said,” he said.

With that, Bai Han got up and returned to his room.

Before Shen Yi told him anything, Bai Han had an unexpected guest.

Bai Han looked at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him. “Mr. Song, what brings you here?”

“Mr. Bai, I heard that you have been looking for top-grade emeralds and gemstones of different colors.” Song Zhao smiled. He could see that Bai Han didn’t have the patience to deal with him, so he directly stated his intention.

Bai Han frowned. “Mr. Song, do you have any news? ”

“Yes.” Song Zhao placed a gilded invitation on the table. “This is an invitation to the largest auction in North City. There will be an auction in three days. I have some connections, and someone told me that they have a Blue Star Gem in the auction.”

As he spoke, Song Zhao took out a photo from his suit pocket.

It was a necklace, which was inlaid with diamonds.

The most eye-catching thing was the Blue Star Gem on the necklace.

There were clear star lines on it, and it was bright blue.

The moment Bai Han saw the photo, his breathing quickened.

Song Zhao had been dealing with all kinds of merchants for years, so he immediately noticed the change in Bai Han and knew what he wanted.

“The Blue Star Gem is not as good as Star of Adam, but it is still a top one. It is very rare. If you are interested, you should go and take a look, Mr. Bai. With this invitation, you can enter the private room. You don’t have to worry about anyone noticing you.” Thanks to Gu Guofu having built connections with the magic potions and their effects, Bai Han was now very famous in the upper-class circle.

Even if many people didn’t want anything from him, they still hoped to form a good relationship with him.

Not to mention those Youth Magic Potions and Enhancement Potions, just Bai Han’s mysterious healing magic alone was enough to make many people in awe.

Who could guarantee that they wouldn’t have any illness in the future?

No matter who Bai Han was or what magic he knew, it was a fact that he could cure diseases.

Having a good relationship with him was only beneficial for them.

When Song Zhao learned of this, he felt a little regretful.

He regretted not trying to get close to Bai Han when he cured Chuxi and Chuyi.

Otherwise, Gu Guofu would not be the only one who could work for Bai Han.

The benefits to the Gu family gained a lot by dealing things for Bad Han.

Because of Gu Guofu’s close relationship with Bai Han, he was the one who pulled strings in many matters. As a result, many first-rate families started to respect his family.

On the other hand, the Song family still had to tolerate the Liu family. What was more, Chuxi had to keep the marriage deal. When he found out that Gu Guofu was searching for jewelry, Song Zhao knew it was time to make a move.

After he had spent a lot of effort to get the news and received the invitation, Song Zhao rushed over to the villa right away.

“Mr. Song, please let me know how much you want me to pay for this invitation.” Song Zhao quickly waved his hand. “Mr. Bai, it’s not like what you think. I owe you a great debt of gratitude. Do you think I will let you pay for this?”

If Bai Han seriously paid him, it would be a deal, which wasn’t his intention. “Thank you so much, Mr. Song.” Bai Han saw through Song Zhao’s intentions and did not reject the gift.

Since it was related to elemental gemstones, Bai Han would accept his kindness.

The most important thing was to collect all the elemental gemstones as soon as possible for cultivation. In the future, he would just have to fulfill one of Song Zhao’s wishes. Song Zhao laughed. “Hahaha, awesome! If you need anything, don’t hesitate to ring me.”

After Song Zhao left, Bai Han kept the invitation.

Blue Star Gem should be a water elemental gem. They looked exactly the same. Now, he just had to confirm whether there were any magic waves in the auction.

After some thought, Bai Han called Gu Guofu.

“Sir. Gu, I would appreciate it if you could try to collect as much money as you can.” As his level got higher and higher, the items he needed also increased.

Bai Han could tell that some of the resources in the magic land could be found on earth. Usually, the higher the quality of the resources, the more expensive they were on earth. However, things that could be easily seen in the magic land could be sold for sky-high prices in the modern world, so Bai Han did not have to worry about not having enough money. Three days passed by in the blink of an eye. Song Zhao had not only brought Bai Han an invitation, but he had also prepared one for himself.

Song Zhao had come a day earlier to pick up Bai Han and bring him to North City. Everything had been arranged properly, and Bai Han only just needed to show up.

Song Zhao had even prepared the money.

If Bai Han needed it, Song Zhao would immediately hand over the money if he asked for it.

Of course, Bai Han didn’t need a coin from him.

In these three days, Gu Guofu sold two bottles of Healing Magic Potion, and Bai Han had a few billion in his account.

No matter how expensive this sapphire necklace was, he could buy a few with billions of dollars.

Just as Song Zhao had said, Bai Han’s invitation card allowed him to enter the private room directly through a special passage without walking past the lobby. Bai Han didn’t know what his appearance would mean.
