Chapter 101 Don't Worship This Young Master
Mu Jianjian's intuition told her that the man in black in front of her was not a vicious person, but he did have a strange air about him.
"What do I want?" The man in black raised his chin. "Either make this cat vomit it up, or cut the cat open and dig the stuff out."
In short, I want things.
Mu Jianjian took a deep breath and decided to bargain. Her eyes were sincere. "How about we wait for the cat to poop out the stone? It'll definitely have indigestion."
Everyone: ...
What is she saying?
“Saving a cat’s life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!” Mu Jianjian added, noticing the man’s twitching lips.
"Hahahaha," the man in black finally couldn't hold back his laughter. He pointed at the white cat in Mu Jianjian's arms, "I've heard of 'saving people,' but I've never heard of saving a 'cat.'"
"Ah..." Mu Jianjian looked away. Just as she was thinking about what to say, the man in black seemed to have lost his patience and reached out his hand to her.
"Give me your answer if you don't want to end up like that person."
Linghu Zhuoyu stood silently in front of the girl, blocking the man's gaze, and lifted his veil, saying, "Get out of the way, unless you don't want to end up worse off than that person."
The boy's voice was calm yet firm, returning the man's words to him.
Seemingly sensing the hostile aura of the veiled youth, the man in black looked annoyed but did not make a move.
The situation reached a stalemate.
"Meow~"
The white cat let out a sweet meow in Mu Jianjian's arms, licking its paws, completely unaware that it had started the fight.
The guests on the first floor of the auction house had all scattered when the man in black stepped into the air and broke through the pavilion. Only a few thugs and managers remained in the huge hexagonal pavilion, along with three people facing off in a private room on the second floor.
The manager of the black market is about to arrive.
Mu Jianjian knew that if she were caught, her identity would be exposed, and it would be even more difficult to sneak into Yingzhou in advance to find out the mastermind behind Cai Hua.
She quietly tugged at Linghu Zhuoyu's sleeve and whispered, "Let's go."
Seeing the two trying to leave, the man in black's refined features hardened with frost, and he coldly snorted, "No one can escape from my hands!"
Before he could even raise his hand, the Core Formation cultivator who had been sent flying reappeared in the pavilion, shouting, "Catch him! He only used a secret technique to temporarily boost his cultivation!"
The sound echoed through the silent building, and in an instant, all the cultivators who were acting as henchmen reacted and stood up to attack the man in black.
The situation reversed instantly.
Mu Jianjian watched helplessly as the black-clad man's sinister aura crumbled, clutching her head and screaming, "Ah! That old Taoist priest tricked me again! Didn't we agree on a quarter of an hour?!"
Mu Jianjian: ?
It wasn't exactly the same as the previous oppressive atmosphere; in fact, it was completely unrelated.
"Quickly, quick, sister, young lady, heroine, please, give me the cat, okay?" The man in black peered past Linghu Zhuoyu toward Mu Jianjian, seemingly startled by the boy. He looked up again, "Wow! Don't look at me like that, I'm a coward!"
"Grab him!" The female host, who had disappeared somewhere, reappeared on the stage. She pointed to Mu Jianjian and her companion beside her, "And those two accomplices! Grab them too!"
“Sister, there are three Core Formation cultivators and two Foundation Establishment cultivators,” Linghu Zhuoyu said softly.
Three henchmen of Core Formation cultivators!
A Core Formation cultivator is enough to become an elder or sect leader in a smaller power or sect, and yet a henchman from an ordinary auction house in this black market has such a high level of cultivation; the power behind him must be extraordinary.
I'm afraid that if I get caught, I won't be able to explain myself and will get into a lot of trouble.
Mu Jianjian watched the thugs rushing towards her, then quickly looked up and shifted her gaze to the gap in the attic roof that the man had smashed open. Moonlight poured down, carrying a chilling aura.
Her expression was calm, but her voice was resolute: "Let's go."
Once you're out of the black market, everything else is easy to handle.
The man in black thought the girl was speaking to him, so he nodded vigorously. "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, young lady. Let's go, let's go together."
Mu Jianjian sensed the fluctuating cultivation level emanating from the man and followed Linghu Zhuoyu up to the pavilion, speechless.
Relying on an unstable cultivation technique to demand items from the auction house, and yet dares to say they're cowardly?
"Hehehe, I'm off first! The real experts always arrive last and leave first!" The man laughed as he ran, his tone smug, and he didn't forget to make faces at the crowd behind him. "I'm not afraid to tell you, I've already taken all the goods inside! Let your men steal my stuff!"
These words not only enraged the auction house thugs, but Mu Jianjian's gaze also nearly pierced the man's heart.
What the hell!
Are you still not afraid of attracting enough firepower?
"stop."
The three figures were almost at the gap in the pavilion when a dark shadow descended with an aged voice, its pressure from a fifth-level Core Formation cultivator spreading out and blocking the only exit.
Mu Jianjian's right pupil flashed, and she placed her hand on Linghu Zhuoyu's wrist and held it tightly, deciding to find the right opportunity to use her pupil technique to teleport away.
She comforted Yu Yu with a whispered message, "Don't be afraid, Yu Yu."
She caused this mess because she wanted to save the cat; she shouldn't have dragged him into it.
Linghu Zhuoyu was in a bad mood because his plans had been disrupted, but his mood instantly improved after feeling the warm touch on his wrist.
He nodded slightly.
He had already sold the pills for auction, intending to use the spirit stones he earned to buy his sister jewelry, magical artifacts, and gifts.
It's all this person's fault for ruining all his plans.
"You think you can stop me?" The man in black pointed his index finger at the old man. "A genius's steps will not be stopped by anyone's obstruction!"
Mu Jianjian: ...
She could tell that her child was in the late stages of adolescent delusions.
But it's good, having someone like that attract attention makes it easier for her and Yu Yu to use their eye techniques—
"Turtle Shell Technique!" The man in black pulled out a palm-sized shell enveloped in golden light from somewhere. In an instant, it enlarged, becoming like a transparent dome that enveloped the three of them. "Shield!"
Mu Jianjian was devastated to find that she couldn't use her pupil technique anymore, while the idiot next to her was still explaining it.
"Hahahaha! My Turtle Shell Technique can block any attack within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!" The man looked at the cultivators who had surrounded the three and tried to attack them but could only stare helplessly. He then turned to the two men and patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry, I will never implicate innocent people!"
"You've already dragged me down with you." Mu Jianjian felt like a monkey trapped in a cage being watched. She pulled Linghu Zhuoyu's arm and walked towards the edge of the enclosure, consciously creating distance between them. "And we can't even use magic inside this enclosure of yours?"
Seeing the man nod, Mu Jianjian tried hard to suppress the urge to punch him away.
She must have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today!
"Young lady, your actions have truly hurt this young master's heart." The man in black clutched his chest, a slight droop at the corner of his mouth on his handsome face, his eyes filled with deep affection.
"This is the first time I've seen someone so shameless." Linghu Zhuoyu glanced indifferently at the transparent, luminous medium around him.
Such protective armor is definitely not just of superior quality.
Even elders of powerful forces would find it difficult to possess such a thing. Just what is his identity?
"Thank you for the compliment!" The man in black puffed out his chest, seemingly pleased with the praise.
"You just said nothing was stopping you, isn't this just digging your own grave!" Mu Jianjian's lips twitched.
They even brazenly stated the duration of this shield!
"Well, I'll have to tell you about another way of fighting: running away? No!" The man in black spoke with a measured tone.
He looked again at the fierce-looking auction house thugs and managers surrounding him, and slowly took out a golden horn necklace from his clothes. "Let me show you ignorant people this. This is one of the Soul Eyes. After a certain period of time, it can transfer people to the Soul Eyes that I set up in advance."
Mu Jianjian vaguely saw a familiar red silk bell hanging inside the man's body, and the idea of slapping him arose in her mind.
"You think I only took out the shield because I had no other choice? No, no, no," the man in black shook his head, his tone smug. "This is a battle strategy that I set up, and you mere mortals naturally wouldn't understand."
"It's just a delaying tactic. Don't idolize me."
Good news!
