Upon closer inspection, Zhao Wuhuai realized that Gu Chaoyan was holding the authority token. It was customary for Haitian Auction House to provide an authority token when an item was acquired. Normally, the authority token wasn't considered rare, as many people obtained it through daily bidding.
However, those who possessed the authority token were now taken aback. The reason being that the only item being auctioned by Haitian Auction House today was the authority token itself.
If Gu Chaoyan had acquired it, it essentially meant that she had secured one of the authority tokens.
There were only two tokens in total, and even Piaomiao Pavilion had failed to obtain one. Yet, she managed to secure it.
This revelation shattered the perception that Gu Chaoyan was useless, as Elder Man and Zhao Dier had claimed.
Moreover, Piaomiao Pavilion had a pressing need for authority tokens.
Furthermore…
Recalling the previous knowledge he had gained, Zhao Wuhuai remembered that the two authority tokens were taken by individuals already present inside. As Gu Chaoyan possessed one, it implied that she was among those insiders.
Having been in the Saint Divine Land before, Gu Chaoyan had heard about Haitian Market from Zhao Dier. It appeared that this was her first time visiting.
As Zhao Wuhuai connected the dots, he began to comprehend how Gu Chaoyan could have risen to prominence in this situation. It dawned on him that the appearance of new pills at Haitian Auction House, along with Gu Chaoyan obtaining the special authority token, were likely interconnected.
No wonder Qianji had repeatedly emphasized that the Phoenix Girl wasn't interested in Dharma artifacts, enchanted arms, or pills. This must be the reason why.
Such realization brought displeasure to Zhao Wuhuai. He was dissatisfied with Qianji and his subordinates for not fulfilling their duties effectively. He was equally disappointed in his own daughter, Zhao Dier, for failing to deliver satisfactory results.
If the Phoenix Girl had an association with Haitian Auction House, it meant that Piaomiao Pavilion would have no way to intervene. This realization further fueled Zhao Wuhuai's dissatisfaction.
As he contemplated the situation, an affable smile adorned Zhao Wuhuai's face, and he approached Gu Chaoyan. He addressed her, "You must be the Phoenix Girl. May I have a word with you?"
Zhao Wuhuai had already devised a new plan. His intention was not to seek justice for Zhao Dier anymore, but rather to establish a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship with the Phoenix Girl.
Observing her father's unexpected change in behavior, Zhao Dier couldn't comprehend what was happening. He had promised to help her seek retribution, yet here he was, treating her with such politeness in front of Gu Chaoyan.
This wasn't what she had anticipated!
Frustrated and seething with anger, Zhao Dier stomped her feet and, with clenched teeth, called out to her father, "Father!"
Zhao Wuhuai shot her a stern glare, silently warning her not to say another word and risk jeopardizing their plan.
Although seething with anger, Zhao Dier found herself at a loss about what to do.
Meanwhile, Gu Chaoyan had no interest in involving herself with Piaomiao Pavilion. She had no knowledge of their intentions, and she had no desire to engage with them either.
The people from Piaomiao Pavilion had exhibited an excessive amount of arrogance and ignorance during their interactions, leaving a sour taste in her mouth. Regardless of their leader's disposition, she had no inclination to form any sort of connection with them.
"Apologies, but we have other matters to attend to, and our time is limited. Please state your requirements directly," Gu Chaoyan calmly stated.
