Chapter 1381 - 1377

Xuan Chu originally thought he would have to spend a lot of time and energy to successfully connect with the City Lord Mansion and figure out the situation of the Ma Family.

However, he never dreamed that as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, something unusual happened.

A seemingly unremarkable young servant, who was just maintaining order, stared wide-eyed at him, as if he had seen someone he shouldn’t have.

The commotion was rather noticeable, even the people around the servant noticed the anomaly, and looked at him in confusion.

"What’s going on?"

The servant was initially a bit shocked upon seeing Xuan Chu, but he quickly concealed it and resumed his carefree demeanor, his eyes full of nonchalance.

"Just consider me as someone who can’t stand seeing others doing well~"

"Speak plainly!"

The servant was given a hard slap on the shoulder by the person next to him, but his posture remained unaffected.

"Oh, I have my eye on the jade pendant around that guy’s waist. My eyes are sharp, that jade pendant is very valuable!"

The people nearby instantly understood.

Everyone knew this guy, though he seemed to be on the same level as them, it was well-known that he was a Relationship, even the road trade manager dared not easily offend him.

There was no precedent for anyone being marked by this person and getting away unscathed, either their possessions were taken, or their wealth was drained.

Instantly, countless eyes were cast at Xuan Chu with sympathy.

No one who could enter this courtyard was truly foolish; each was a savvy person.

The servant had not hidden his gaze and voice at all, making it difficult for anyone to ignore.

But no one at this moment wanted to offend someone from the City Lord Mansion; isn’t that risking their own future being too bright?

Immediately, quite a few people subtly distanced themselves from Xuan Chu, afraid that standing too close to him would make others mistake them as his associates.

In no time, a small vacuum zone with a diameter of about one meter formed around Xuan Chu.

Xuan Chu’s eyes darkened, his face devoid of any emotion, yet his fists were clenched tightly.

He could still discern whether a person’s eyes were greedy or shocked. This person was likely a spy sent by the City Lord Mansion.

Others probably thought he was extremely anxious at this moment and didn’t dare to provoke him anymore.

But only Xuan Chu knew how much self-control it took for him not to go up and drag that servant out, to force him to reveal the City Lord Mansion’s secrets.

The subsequent events went smoothly; everyone stepped forward in order to hand over their tokens and samples to the road trade manager.

Until the last person handed theirs over, the managers finally closed the ledger.

"Alright, all your samples and conditions have been sealed up. Just wait for the chief manager to make a decision. You all can check the list outside half an hour later.

Those selected go to the front yard for registration, those not selected take your documents and retrieve your samples!"

After saying this, the personnel belonging to the City Lord Mansion left with the samples filling a whole cart.

The evaluation results would take half an hour. No one was foolish enough to leave now. Those capable of entering the selection had some background, so if they didn’t connect with others now, when would they?

The quality of the jewelry Xuan Chu brought was extremely high, but due to the previous incident, many were watching and didn’t dare to be the first to approach him.

Xuan Chu was not in a hurry; he was also waiting for that seemingly nonchalant but actually skilled servant to come to him.
