Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 1332: Chapter 1331: Encountering Familiar Faces Again (Part 2)

Fu Lin, the young man who had accidentally bumped into Lin Xi earlier.

About a minute after Lin Xi went inside, he also arrived at the entrance.

The reason it took him an extra minute was partly because it was his first time here, so he moved slowly.

On the other hand, Lin Xi had quickened his pace.

Now, just like Lin Xi’s first time here, he was stopped at the entrance.

His face flushed red with frustration as he kept explaining that he had an invitation.

But he searched his whole body and couldn’t find it.

The two dedicated young women at the entrance suggested he go back and check.

Could it have been left at the inn?

As there was just a guest earlier who thought they had it, but found it at the inn after going back to search.

Fu Lin could only nod and turn back.

But he was still quite puzzled; he was never one to forget things.

Especially for something as important as today.

Yet, the invitation was indeed not on him.

He distinctly remembered taking it before leaving the inn!

He had been very careful and vigilant all the way, so it couldn’t have been stolen.

Moreover, who would steal an invitation anyway?

Could it really be?

Forgotten at the inn?

With this doubt, he quickened his pace back to the inn.

To see if it really was left behind.

If not, then it must have been lost on the way, or stolen?

As he thought of this, he remembered bumping into someone on the road.

And it wasn’t far from here.

But he was the one who bumped into the other person.

Stop overthinking, or he might wrongfully accuse someone if it was indeed at the inn.

It turned out he was destined to have made the trip in vain.

Once inside, Lin Xi found that there were no guests, only staff.

Where had the people who came in gone?

Guided by a staff member, he entered through a hidden door.

Soon, he was in a room resembling a lecture hall in a university.

Inside, thirty to forty seats.

And in front, a platform, well-lit.

The seating area was relatively dimmer.

"This?" Lin Xi was puzzled.

His first thought was that it resembled an auction.

Scanning the room, he spotted Yang Feifei, dressed as a man, sitting in a corner, her eyes seemingly nervously fixed on the stage.

She hadn’t noticed Lin Xi.

Because she hadn’t looked back at all.

The staff member whispered to Lin Xi, "Please sit wherever you like!"

Lin Xi nodded, indicating he understood.

Only then did the staff member turn to leave.

Lin Xi didn’t head towards Yang Feifei’s area; instead, he chose an opposite corner.

He wanted to see what exactly this woman intended to do.

Or what mission she was on!

But as he walked towards the opposite corner, he saw there was already someone there.

Moreover, it was someone he knew.

Yes, it was the Dwarf Demon!

But he was also in disguise, such that even those familiar with him would hardly recognize him.

Sitting alone, keeping a low profile in the corner.

However, Lin Xi was an Innate Powerhouse, and his abilities exceeded even those of other Innate Powerhouses.

This led to him recognizing Yang Feifei in her male disguise at first glance.

Still alive?

He was a bit confused!

After that incident, he had offered a high reward for the Dwarf Demon’s head.

Unexpectedly, the Dwarf Demon was still living well here.

But thinking it over, it made sense.

For one, the reward had only been in place for two days.

Those aiming for the bounty were probably still trying to ascertain the Dwarf Demon’s exact location within those two days.

Additionally, the Dwarf Demon’s makeup skills were frightful, making it even harder to find him.

On the other hand, the Dwarf Demon was a Peak Soldier King, extremely powerful.

At least three or four Peak Soldier Kings would need to unite to dare to provoke the Dwarf Demon.

But these three or four Peak Soldier Kings weren’t easy to gather.

After all, Soldier Kings were already rare in this world.

Let alone Peak Soldier Kings.

As for the innate level, they generally wouldn’t intervene.

Unless the Dwarf Demon was particularly close to them, they wouldn’t act.

Besides, it would be beneath their status.

But now, having encountered him today meant bad luck for him!

Lin Xi couldn’t help but coldly chuckle internally; he had decided the Dwarf Demon wouldn’t leave this auction-like venue.

Finally, he found a seat towards the middle-back and sat down.

Time passed quickly, almost like a blink for Lin Xi, who was reclining and slightly dozing.

For others, time moved slowly.

When Lin Xi opened his eyes again, he noticed that of the thirty to forty seats, nearly half were filled.

In other words, about twenty people had arrived.

"Bang!"

The sound, not too loud, came from behind.

Hmm, the door had been closed.

This also meant that no one else would come in from outside.

Even if they had an invitation.

This was said by an elderly man standing on the stage.

Judging by his appearance, he was the host for today.

He looked vigorous, with an occasional flash of brilliance in his eyes.

He seemed like an extraordinary old man.

"Could it really be an auction of items?" Lin Xi wondered internally.

Because until now, he still had no clue what was going to happen next.

As for asking someone nearby, he dismissed the idea.

Asking would definitely raise suspicion.

He might even be exposed immediately.

So he just decided to watch.

After all, no one was checking his identity.

This also meant that Fu Lin hadn’t come in from outside.

He inwardly apologized to Fu Lin.

Hmm, it was beyond his control!!!

"Alright, almost everyone’s here!" the old man on the stage smiled, "Let’s start the auction for today!"

Lin Xi was taken aback, silently thinking, "So it really is an auction!"

"But, what is Yang Feifei looking to buy?"

"And does the Dwarf Demon also have something in mind?"

To think he’d be so bold not to leave Huaxia.

Not staying hidden safely!

Yet appearing openly with so many people around.

Is it really boldness?

Or does he not take my bounty seriously?

Bear in mind, my bounty includes not just money but also Fist Skill.

Fist Skill, which is in immense demand among Soldier Kings.

After the old man said those two sentences, the people below the stage noticeably grew more excited.

Lin Xi also saw Yang Feifei clench her hands tightly.

It seemed her mind was unsettled too.

"Oh, right, there are a few principles I’d like to clarify with everyone," the old man continued, as if he’d remembered something, his smile fading.
