Xia Muge was actually quite unhappy with Ye Feng.
In the original storyline, Ye Feng pursued the female lead almost entirely under the guise of true love and freedom, but after the pursuit, he turned her into a harem member.
If he had openly admitted to having someone he liked from the beginning, Ning Yu wouldn't have given him a second glance, let alone anything else.
Because he's the main character, all the beautiful women have to surround him.
Women only seem to have value when they are with the protagonist.
Xia Muge considers himself no good person, but he is honestly bad.
At least, all the girls he had relationships with were consensual.
Thinking of this, he looked at Ye Feng with even greater displeasure.
"Besides, who are you to Xiaoxue?" he said. "Even her parents don't interfere this much, what are you trying to do?"
"I……"
In terms of eloquence, Ye Feng was no match for Xia Muge.
He looked at Xia Muge, a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Moreover, when Ye Feng looked around, he realized that this was not a good time to speak.
He said, "I'll remember you."
He decided to find an opportunity to kill Xia Muge after the auction ended.
As for the potential impact, he's a member of the Tianyun Sect, and China probably won't do anything to him because of Xia Muge.
Although China claims to be equal for all on the surface, privileges are everywhere.
No matter how much wealth a businessman possesses, his status is still inferior to that of a martial artist from ancient times.
Ye Feng was absolutely confident about this.
What happened here had absolutely no impact.
After all, people at auctions are used to it.
It's fair to say that it's almost impossible to have no conflicts at an auction.
Fortunately, everyone knows that this is a place that can bring benefits to everyone, so there are basically no disturbances.
Xia Muge took Lin Xue's arm and led her into a private room.
Lin Xue was unable to calm down for a long time.
Even though she no longer liked Ye Feng, being called a gold digger to his face was a different matter altogether.
Most importantly, she worried that Xia Muge thought the same thing.
Because Xia Muge really gave her a lot of money.
Lin Xue looked at Xia Muge with a soft, hesitant expression, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.
"Just tell me what's on your mind."
As someone with a basic understanding of psychology, Xia Muge naturally knew what Lin Xue was thinking.
However, he wasn't some kind of confidante who could help resolve your inner conflicts.
Lin Xue said, "I'm not here for your money."
"I know."
Xia Muge would naturally not ridicule Lin Xue in this regard.
In fact, he admired Lin Xue quite a bit.
Her parents were a burden, yet she was still able to get into Imperial University despite such a family background, and remained unmoved by the original owner's pursuit for three years.
It's important to understand that beauty is a scarce resource.
Many people with similar beauty would think about how to exchange it for money. But Lin Xue is different.
At least Lin Xue didn't keep Xia Muge hanging on.
The reason she got together with Xia Muge later was because of pressure from her family, not because she wanted to enjoy material things.
Even now, Lin Xue has never purchased any luxury goods herself.
I buy affordable bags and clothes.
Of course, with her beauty, she can certainly make inexpensive items look luxurious.
Xia Muge himself was not a particularly bad person.
He couldn't possibly do what he planned to do with Lin Xue through PUA.
He said, "You might think that I was just using you as a shield, but when I pursued you, I was genuinely sincere."
"No one knows you better than me."
With just one sentence, he easily brought tears to Lin Xue's eyes.
Lin Xue suddenly mustered her courage and kissed him.
…
…
The Yuncheng Auction is conducted using the traditional bidding method.
The base price and the increment method are set, and the currency is RMB.
Simple and brutal.
This is where the wealthy compete fiercely.
A single elixir or secret manual from an ancient martial arts practitioner can easily fetch an astronomical price in front of these wealthy individuals.
Of course, due to information asymmetry, many wealthy people have also been scammed.
Therefore, wealthy people will try to win over knowledgeable individuals beforehand to avoid being scammed.
Therefore, here we might see a pill that is worth less than 10,000 fetch a sky-high price of 10 million, or we might see a real treasure tarnished.
Even among practitioners of ancient martial arts, there is a lack of trust in one another.
This is the meaning of the saying "a pearl is covered in dust".
It can be said that the information gap at Yuncheng Auction was maximized.
In this situation, whether you can capture something good is entirely up to fate.
Xia Muge sat leisurely in the private room, one hand on Lin Xue's body.
Lin Xue's face was flushed, and she gently bit her lip.
She is much more open now than she was at the beginning.
She was just a little curious as to why Xia Muge didn't seem interested in the items being auctioned.
Xia Muge didn't explain.
He couldn't very well say that the only person he recognized at the entire auction was Ye Feng.
Xia Muge didn't care. Anyway, he had prepared 10 billion yuan this time. How could Ye Feng possibly win the bid under these circumstances?
If possible, he can just rob us.
As Xia Muge waited, the hostess in charge of the auction soon announced: "This time we are auctioning a mysterious pearl obtained from the ruins."
"The effects of this precious bead are unknown, but it contains abundant spiritual energy, and wearing it for a long time is like warming jade and nourishing the body."
Upon hearing the servant's words, the group exchanged bewildered glances.
Those who are able to come here naturally know what spiritual energy is.
Items imbued with spiritual energy are not uncommon; it is said that all one needs to nourish a person is a fine piece of jade.
