Some people saw him and paid him no mind, while others looked confused.
"Xu Yang? He can come to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's auction too? What could he possibly afford?"
Chen Jiang, sitting in the crowd, looked surprised.
"Even if he can't afford anything, he can still broaden his horizons."
A disciple from the He Ming Boxing Hall beside him said.
"Master Xu, this is your seat. Please, have a seat first. I still have other guests to attend to."
Zhou Yong led Xu Yang to a chair, pointed out his seat, and then left.
Xu Yang glanced over and, what a coincidence, found that he was sitting right next to Yue Gui, with Liu Qian just past him.
On his other side were more familiar faces: Gu Haoming and Lu Ren.
Both Liu Qian and Yue Gui looked uncomfortable, then gave a slight nod.
Xu Yang had no intention of making things hostile, so he nodded back in acknowledgment.
Gu Haoming remained expressionless, but Lu Ren offered a faint, smiling nod.
