Bai Hao glanced at the three people craning their necks to watch the auction, shook his head slightly with a hint of helplessness, and then took out a red rope from his pocket with a beast tooth tied to it.

The animal tooth wasn't big; it looked like a dog's baby tooth that it had replaced when it was two or three months old. Bai Hao raised his hand, pinched Qin Nan's chin, turned his head back, and then put the animal tooth on Qin Nan.

Qin Nan looked down in confusion and held the beast tooth in his palm. It looked like the beast tooth was quite old, but it was very sturdy, without even a crack, and the surface was very smooth, as if it had been carefully polished.

Lu Zeqi took a look: "Is this a canine tooth? It looks like it's for warding off evil spirits! Brother Bai, are you serious? We've known each other for a while, don't just give it to Brother Qin for protection!"

Zhou Miao really wanted to kick Lü Zeqi out. What a load of rubbish! This was clearly a token of love, and Bai Hao was right here. Why would he need something to ward off evil for Qin Nan?

What Bai Hao gave was not an amulet to ward off evil spirits, but it still had that effect. He gave it to him at this time mainly because he suddenly remembered it, and if he didn't give it to him now, he was afraid he would forget about it again.

These were his baby teeth that he had replaced. Qin Nan wore them for a long time, and his aura would surround him, so ordinary ghosts and monsters would not dare to approach him.

Of course, the most important thing is that it contains Bai Hao's scent. After wearing it for a long time, Qin Nan's body will be completely covered with Bai Hao's scent. Scent is very important to animals, which is equivalent to being marked, a kind of possession, but humans cannot sense it.

Qin Nan looked at the beast teeth, and for some reason, his heart couldn't help but pound. The feeling was indescribable, as if it were mixed with many emotions at the same time. Something seemed to flash through his mind, but he couldn't catch it.

However, Qin Nan was unwilling to let go of the beast tooth while holding it, seemingly with a strange obsession. This thing seemed extremely precious, even more precious than his own life!

Qin Nan was startled by her own thought; it was just a gift. She smiled and thanked Bai Hao.

Bai Hao didn't notice Qin Nan's unusual behavior. He took out two white chess pieces from his pocket and threw them to Lü Zeqi. Qin Nan was slightly taken aback. Bai Hao had actually brought something for self-defense. What would happen tonight?

Lu Zeqi happily accepted it and then gave one to Zhou Miao. Zhou Miao was also a little surprised, but since Bai Hao had given it to him, he casually put it in his pocket.

The auction has officially begun. The host has left, and on stage now are Tang Zhen, dressed in red, and a middle-aged man.

Zhou Miao explained to Qin Nan, "The president of the Tang Group is Tang Jinyuan. The woman in red is his daughter, Tang Zhen. This woman is no pushover." As Zhou Miao spoke, he glanced at Bai Hao.

Qin Nan nodded knowingly: "Murong said that she doesn't like this person either."

Bai Hao looked back coldly. Not to mention that there were few people in this world who could catch his eye, Qin Nan alone had nothing or no one to distract him.

Moreover, Bai Hao, who has lived for countless years, has seen all kinds of beauties. He has even seen the legendary, stunningly beautiful ancestor of the fox clan. She was truly a peerless beauty, and there are very few humans who can be described as having such captivating looks.

Zhou Miao continued, "It is said that today is Tang Zhen's birthday, so Tang Jinyuan hosted this banquet. The auction was just for fun. It seems that after the banquet, Tang Jinyuan will announce some good news, but we don't know what it is."

Lu Zeqi stroked his chin and thought for a moment: "What kind of good news could require such a big banquet? It's not like it's a wedding banquet."

Zhou Miao was taken aback: "Xiao Xue said that Tang Zhen used to be very close to Helian Jun, the youngest son of the Helian family. Could it be that their two families are getting married?"

Qin Nan was taken aback by what he heard, but quickly regained his composure. Bai Hao, who was watching Qin Nan closely, naturally did not miss his expression.

Bai Hao frowned slightly as he inquired about Helian Jun's situation. Qin Nan seemed to be involved in Helian Jun's past, and their last contact was recently, on the day he went to the school's mountain forest.

A silver-white light flashed in Bai Hao's eyes, and everything came to mind. Except for Qin Nan, whom he still couldn't see clearly, he understood everything.

Lu Zeqi waved his hand: "Impossible. I saw Helian Jun during the day. He walked around the exhibition hall and left with a gloomy face. He didn't come to the banquet in the evening. Surely Tang Zhen isn't putting on a one-man show?"

Zhou Miao turned her head: "Why haven't I seen him?"

Lu Zeqi: "You went to the restroom? I saw you from afar. I wanted to say hello, but I don't know what got into him. He walked away with a gloomy face, as if someone had dug up his ancestral grave."

Qin Nan suddenly asked, "Are you his friends?"

Lu Zeqi and Zhou Miao were stunned for a moment, then realized that Qin Nan was talking about Helian Jun, and shook their heads at the same time.

Zhou Miao: "I'm not familiar with him. We only know each other on the surface. My family has some business dealings with the Helian family, but I haven't been involved in them and I don't know anything about them."

Lü Zeqi: "I met him when my dad sent me abroad for three months. He's quite a social guy, but he seems very calculating. My dad told me not to get too close to him, just be polite on the surface. Hey? Brother Qin, what's up, you know him?"

Qin Nan's expression was indifferent, and her tone was flat: "I don't know her."

Bai Hao remained silent. Qin Nan glanced at Bai Hao, who smiled slightly, buried his head in Qin Nan's shoulder, and his eyes immediately turned gloomy. He reached out and hugged Qin Nan tightly.

In the past, Qin Nan did not go all the way with Helian Jun, which allowed Bai Hao to remain rational.

Although it was all in the past, seeing Qin Nan in someone else's arms made him want to take her right there and then.

However, what's past is past. As long as Helian Jun doesn't provoke Qin Nan again, Bai Hao doesn't plan to do anything. If he insists on courting death, even if he can't kill him, Bai Hao has plenty of ways to make him wish he were dead. After all, the harm he caused Qin Nan in the past cannot be easily forgotten.

Qin Nan stiffened, feeling a little awkward, since Zhou Miao and Lü Zeqi were sitting right next to her. Zhou Miao silently turned her head away, while Lü Zeqi leaned closer to Zhou Miao and reached out for a hug, only to have his hand slapped away by Zhou Miao without hesitation.

"ah--"

"Zhenzhen!"

"Ambulance! Call an ambulance right now!"

While the atmosphere was tense among the four, chaos suddenly broke out in the venue. There were shouts, and many people started running around. Everyone retreated, discussing amongst themselves, as if something had happened on the exhibition stage.

Bai Hao said calmly, "Stay away."

Just as Qin Nan was about to ask what had happened, Murong Xue, along with Chi Wei and Pi Yuan, looked around and then saw Zhou Miao waving, so she immediately ran over.

Pi Yuan and Chi Wei pulled Murong Xue over to sit down.

Murong Xue took a deep breath, her face pale: "That was too exciting! I really must be determined to be a good person!"

Lu Zeqi handed her a glass of red wine that he hadn't drunk yet, and Murong Xue took a sip to calm herself down.

Qin Nan asked Chi Wei what had happened, and Chi Wei blinked: "The woman who hit you earlier suddenly fainted with blood coming from all seven orifices."
