“Haha, so Brother Jun can change his expression too! I’m just teasing you!” He Lianjun burst into laughter, attracting gazes from around him.

Teasing her?

A faint smile curled at the corner of Gu Qingluan’s lips. With a light flick of her fingertip, a surge of energy shot into He Lianjun’s mouth.

“Alih! Ugh, ugh, ugh!” He Lianjun’s throat tightened, rendering him unable to speak.

He pointed at his own throat while making incoherent sounds, his eyes fixed on Gu Qingluan.

His expression shifted rapidly from shock to panic, then submission, and finally to begging within the span of a few breaths.

“Do you still dare to tease me?” Gu Qingluan inquired.

He Lianjun shook his head, his motion resembling the undulating rhythm of a wave drum.

I won’t dare! I won’t dare!

Even with a hundredfold increase in courage, he still wouldn’t dare.

“Put your hand down.”

He Lianjun obediently complied, lowering his hand immediately.

Once again, Gu Qingluan curved her finger and lightly flicked, sending a surge of energy into his throat.

He Lianjun suddenly felt an itch in his throat, coughed, and realized he could speak again. He exclaimed in delight, “Unbelievable! My voice is back! Brother Jun, how did you do that just now? Can you teach me? It’s so amazing! If 1 could do that, whenever someone speaks rudely, I’d just use this technique to mute them!”

Gu Qingluan responded with a question, “Why did so many people come to the auction?”

This time, He Lianjun didn’t dare to deceive her. He earnestly shared the information he had gathered with Gu Qingluan.

“They’ve all come for the Boundary Wall Key.”

Gu Qingluan arched an eyebrow. “What’s that?”

“It’s completely fine if you’re not aware,” He Lianjun remarked with lively enthusiasm, not at all bothered by his earlier loss of voice. He went on to explain eagerly, “Have you ever noticed how the Black Market keeps expanding? The outer limits of the Black Market are referred to as the Boundary Wall, an unbreakable barrier. In the entire world, there’s only one kind of key that can assist people in crossing the Boundary Wall. Beyond this boundary lies an entirely new realm, overflowing with spiritual energy and an abundance of treasures. Once someone is fortunate enough to enter, they’re presented with immense opportunities. When the space reaches maturity after development, the Boundary Wall separating it from the original Black Market disappears, and that space becomes an integral part of the Black Market.”

He Lianjun’s eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. “Moreover, those who pioneer in the Black Market gain the privilege of possessing a permanent territory within its bounds! It’s an irresistible allure, who could possibly resist? However, knowledge of the Boundary Wall Key is confined to a chosen few. Don’t be misled by the sheer crowd present today. A significant number of attendees are influential figures from different regions of the Cloud Plains Continent. Trust me, a closer look would reveal that many among them are far from ordinary. Have you noticed?”

Gu Qingluan neither confirmed nor denied.

She had indeed observed this phenomenon.

Indeed, among those present tonight, many had cultivation levels she couldn’t discern, including numerous Saint and Heavenly Realm experts.

Being able to attract so many influential figures, the key was undoubtedly extraordinary.

However, how did He Lianjun know?

“I’m sure you’re curious how 1 found out, right? Well, in my life, I have two great hobbies. One is drinking, and the other is gossiping. If there’s something 1 want to find out, there’s nothing I can’t discover! Brother Jun, if you ever want to gather information, just let me know. As a token of our acquaintance, I’ll provide information for free the first time.”

Gu Qingluan glanced at the jade gourd hanging from his waist.

Noticing her gaze, He Lianjun said, “Drinking isn’t convenient at the moment. After the auction is over, I’ll treat Brother Jun to a drink!”

Gu Qingluan didn’t refuse.. She asked, “With the key being so important, who would put it up for auction?”
