The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Chapter 1769 1772: A Surprising First Auction Item

"To be honest with everyone, from mysterious treasures in dangerous places to the ordinary things of the world, our Wanbao Pavilion surely has it all!"

The elderly man hosting the auction praised the virtues of Wanbao Pavilion in a manner akin to Old Lady Wang selling melons, but anyone familiar with the name Wanbao Pavilion almost had no objections.

And the people present were mainly there because of Wanbao Pavilion's reputation, so naturally, they wouldn't object either.

The variety of items at Wanbao Pavilion is indeed very comprehensive.

Xu Hao made no definitive comment on this, as he didn't really believe the old man's talk about having everything.

However, this Wanbao Pavilion must have some special aspects; otherwise, it wouldn't attract the attention of so many experts.

Soon, after the old man finished speaking, two young women brought up something covered with a black cloth.

"This first item up for auction is quite something, an artifact from the Sui Dynasty more than fifteen hundred years ago. Since most attending our Wanbao Pavilion auction are martial arts experts, this should have considerable appeal to you."

"Hahaha, old man, stop being mysterious, hurry up and show everyone what it is!" came a rough voice from the fourth private room.

The old man turned his head towards the fourth room and smiled, saying, "Mr. Chai is still as impatient as ever. Don't worry, good things take time to reveal."

"Who is this Mr. Chai?" Su Yi immediately asked in the private room.

The Moon Goddess Successor then said, "If I'm not mistaken, he should be from the Chai family in Lu Province. Lu Province has quite a few powerful forces, and the Chai family is among the half-hidden families."

"The Chai family of Lu Province? That's indeed a strong family, no wonder they can sit in the fourth private room." Xu Hao nodded slightly.

Although Lu Province cannot compare to the martial arts forces in Zhongzhou, it is much more powerful than those in Tiannan Province, with several half-hidden noble families.

And the Chai family is one of them.

Mr. Chai laughed heartily, "Hahaha! I, Chai Zhongtong, have but one shortcoming: I'm impatient. I can't stand people dawdling, so I hope you can hurry it up."

Chai Zhongtong!

Many people at the auction were extremely surprised that the person in the fourth room was actually Chai Zhongtong from the Chai family!

The Moon Goddess Successor said with some surprise, "The Chai family seems to be very interested in this auction; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent Chai Zhongtong directly. He is the younger brother of the head of the Chai family, an influential figure in the Chai family, with strength at the peak of the late stage Grandmaster level, extremely powerful."

"That's true, since Wanbao Pavilion claims to have everything, maybe it's really the case, at least there must be some treasures unknown to ordinary people. Let's wait and see, I wonder what Du Yaowei will buy."

Xu Hao chuckled softly and continued to watch the venue.

As soon as Chai Zhongtong revealed his name, it immediately caused a huge commotion among the crowd.

However, this commotion instantly subsided after the old man announced the first auction item.

"The first auction item is a Third Grade medium Magic Artifact."

When the old man mentioned the grade of this Magic Artifact, it instantly stirred a frenzy.

Most of the people present were from major forces, but when they heard that the first auction item was a Third Grade medium Magic Artifact, they couldn't help but gasp.

Wanbao Pavilion truly lives up to its name; the items they sell are either extremely powerful or incredibly rare.

And while everyone present could certainly come up with such a Magic Artifact within their own forces, who would be willing to put such a precious artifact up for auction?

Who wouldn't treasure such an artifact as a prized possession?

But not Wanbao Pavilion. In their eyes, such Magic Artifacts appear to be common, even using this as the first auction item.

The old man was evidently very satisfied with the reaction of the crowd. He chuckled, "Don't get too excited, everyone, the magical part of this item is still to come!"

Du Yaowei's voice suddenly echoed from the fifth room, "Hmph! I, Young Master, would like to see what kind of treasure this really is! There are not many things my Zhongzhou Du Family finds appealing!"

"Hahaha! Rest assured, Young Master Du, you'll be more than satisfied!"

The old man waved his hand, prompting one of the young women to unveil the black cloth.

All eyes turned to the item beneath the black cloth.

It was a Go board!

On the board were black and white pieces, 181 black and 180 white.

The board had a deep blue sheen, exuding a black glow, akin to the vast night sky.

And the total of 361 pieces resembled stars in the sky, appearing haphazardly yet with a certain order on the board.

The crowd was momentarily stunned.

What on earth is Wanbao Pavilion doing?

They spoke so fervently, only to present such an ordinary-looking Go set?
