The world was full of wonders.

Shen Xi smiled.

“I’m interested to see it myself If a snow lotus of that age really exists.”

She had acquired one of several centuries of age to formulate the medication for Li Yuan. Despite pulling all his connections, Situ Zhangyou came back empty on his quest for a millennial snow lotus.

However, it was unsurprising for a millennial snow lotus to exist somewhere in a vast country like China.

“Shen Xi, do you want to go?” Having heard Shen Xi, a bespectacled boy in front turned and asked her.

Although Shen Xi recognized him, they had never really shared a conversation since she was barely at school. She did remember his name though — Lu Ning. Shen Xi smiled and nodded at him.

“I’m interested to take a look. Where is it previewed?”

“It’s said that the Qing family kept the snow lotus safe for a thousand years. It will be auctioned at Treasure Trove today. I’m going there, so I can take you there without an invitation if you want and don’t mind.” Lu Ning was a friendly guy.

He knew that with Shen Xi’s status, she could simply request an invitation and go. Still, Lu Ning offered in passing since he heard her mentioning it.

“Thank you.” Shen Xi gladly took up the offer. However, she was surprised that he possessed the invitation to Treasure Trove.

Treasure Trove was China’s finest auction house, known to appraise and auction artifacts equivalent to national treasures. The auction house rarely came into session unless there was an item worth opening its doors for.

“Do you want that snow lotus?” Lu Ning was taken back by her straightforward reply.

Everyone was aware that Shen Xi was the young lady of the Fu family. The Fu family was at the forefront of the world’s most affluent families. Money was no issue if she intended to put in a bid.

Shen Xi smiled. “Just a look-see.”

The snow lotus was a rare herb that only came once in a lifetime. There were bound to be people fighting over it. Shen Xi believed she was not in the capacity to compete for the snow lotus.

Taking a glance at her, Lu Ning did not continue the conversation. However, an ominous glint flashed past his eyes.

Ever since his family found out that Lu Ning was in the same class with Shen Xi, they had been putting ideas in his head to take advantage of the proximity and go after Shen Xi’s heart. The Lu family would be put on the pedestal if he were to win her favor.

Lu Ning knew himself best to understand that he was not good enough for Shen Xi.

Although he had a clear understanding of himself, his family failed to see that fact. The Lu family had nothing on the Fu family, so who were they to suck up to the Fu family?

Fond of gossip, Yan Xiaoxiao and Jiang Xuanxuan whispered between themselves about Lu Ning.

Lu Ning was a rich kid. His family was made of money. The Lu family in the capital might not be a household name, but they did amass a bit of wealth.

The handsome, brilliant, and humble Lu Ning was their class president and pride.

Last month, Lu Ning defeated the juniors and sophomores by a thousand votes for the position as president of the student council. It was much talked about how he was able to secure the seat despite being a freshman.
