Chapter 98 Just saying hello
Ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones, it sounds really low coming from him!
The girl's affected and strange tone and expression deeply agitated the man. After being hit where it was, his face turned pale and then red. He stared intently at the gold pouch in the girl's hand, trying to comfort himself.
In a little while, the white cat will be his, and the bag of high-quality spirit stones in her hand will also be his!
"Brother! Yan Yan wants the stone in her bag! Yan Yan has never seen it before! It's so beautiful!" The girl's voice reached the ears of everyone who was paying attention to the commotion, and some people couldn't help but chuckle.
Doesn't this indirectly admit that the brother and sister have never seen a high-grade spirit stone?
I never expected that this seemingly unremarkable girl was so rich; she had a bag of top-grade spirit stones!
Although it is said that the exchange rate is based on a thousand stones, everyone knows that high-grade spirit stones are rare and cost far more than a thousand medium-grade spirit stones.
No wonder she didn't care about the ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones the man offered. Besides, the fact that the girl had about a hundred of them was enough to prove that she was no ordinary person.
"Why are you laughing at Yan Yan!" The little girl, confused and angry at the laughter of others, pouted and hid behind the man, shouting.
The man protected the girl and glanced at the people who had just laughed. Seeing that they had finally fallen silent, his earlier hesitation after seeing the other party take out the high-quality spirit stones disappeared.
The black insect left no trace; even if she died, no one could see anything amiss. How could anyone suspect someone with only Qi Condensation cultivation?
"Don't be afraid, Yan Yan. Others are just jealous of us," the man said, crouching down and placing his hands on the girl's shoulders to comfort her.
Mu Jianjian felt sorry for the little girl who was staring intently at the white cat in her arms.
Growing up under such an older brother, it would be difficult to develop normal values.
After calming his sister down, the man shifted his gaze to the girl's back, staring intently at the black worm that was about to touch her heel.
Once you get inside the clothing, you've succeeded!
Just as the black worm was about to touch the girl, a white boot stepped on it.
Surprised and annoyed, the man's gaze moved upwards along the boots, where he saw the black gauze fluttering in the wind, and the boy with red lips and white teeth, a half-smile playing on his lips.
"Yu Yu! You're back so soon!" Mu Jianjian exclaimed happily as soon as the boy suddenly appeared beside her.
She gently stroked the white cat's fur in her arms, her eyes narrowing with satisfaction, unaware of the strange aura emanating from Linghu Zhuoyu.
"Sister, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," Linghu Zhuoyu said in a quiet and calm voice, but she was facing the man squatting between the two siblings, looking down at him with disdain.
He was only gone for a short while, and my sister almost got hit by that disgusting bug.
Black-armored poisonous insect.
If he remembered correctly, these getting smaller and smaller were the insects raised by Cai Chu's younger sister, Cai Hua, and they were disgusting.
Although he could easily detoxify with his abilities, the thought of his sister being touched by such a thing made him feel so remorseful that he wanted to vomit.
"We won't keep you waiting any longer," Mu Jianjian buried her head in the white cat's fur and rubbed against it. "Let's go into the venue."
"Sister, this is the sign for the private room I reserved. Would you like to go up first?" The boy's voice was seductive.
Mu Jianjian took the jade pendant, hesitated for a moment but ultimately said nothing. As she carried the cat upstairs, she once again showed sympathy for the brother and sister.
I didn't expect Yu Yu to be able to book a private room! Was she going to take care of this when she left...?
Recalling Linghu Zhuoyu's thorough preparation and explanations to her tonight, Mu Jianjian felt increasingly useless as the "older sister."
Thinking back to the original novel, the third male lead, Linghu Zhuoyu, was obsessed with the female lead, Sang Wanyue. It was more of a dark possessiveness, which is completely different from the warm and sunny little angel she is now.
I wonder how Yu Yu's love life will unfold in this lifetime.
[Host, I have a feeling he'll attack those brother and sister. Shouldn't we stop him?]
"Trust Yu Yu's judgment and character," Mu Jianjian handed the plaque to the steward waiting at the door, then carried the white cat into the room. "Besides, it would be foolish to act like a saint in this situation!"
The other party was practically pointing their finger at them and cursing them!
Given the girl's spoiled and entitled attitude, Mu Jianjian could easily imagine what happened to others after the girl took a fancy to something. She could only feel a little sympathy for them.
Well, that's all.
In the private room, Mu Jianjian was cracking melon seeds and petting her cat. In the attic just a wall away, Linghu Zhuoyu watched the brother and sister, who were sweating profusely, as they walked up the stairs to the second floor, and secretly transmitted his voice to them.
"Who are you to Cai Hua?"
The man turned his head sharply, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief. Before he could speak, he heard the boy's voice slowly ring out in his mind.
"She brought with her precious beetle that she researched, yet she's only at the Qi Condensation stage," Linghu Zhuoyu paused, his cheerful voice devoid of any emotion, "You must be the little lover she's set her sights on, right?"
Cai Chu, one of the "Five Eccentrics" of Yingzhou, liked to refine living people into poisons. Her sister was no less fond of it, especially collecting handsome men as male concubines. After becoming possessed by demons, she would absorb the true energy of her partner during dual cultivation to achieve the purpose of torture.
"So getting involved with Cai Hua has made you this arrogant?" Linghu Zhuoyu lowered his eyes, recalling the countless male lovers who had died at Cai Hua's hands, his expression playful.
Why doesn't my sister cling to him?
He's much better than Cai Hua.
The man instinctively picked up the girl and rushed her to the private room he had reserved on the second floor.
Who is he?! He actually managed to figure out the origin of the black worm!
Cai Hua had clearly told him that no one would notice!
"Fighting is prohibited in the auction house!" the man said to the steward standing at the door, seeing the veiled boy who had followed him to the door of the private room.
I don't know if I'm speaking to the other person or to myself.
"I'm not fighting." Linghu Zhuoyu spread his hands to the steward, slowly walked into the private room to avoid being seen by others, and said with a teasing smile, "I just ran into an acquaintance of an acquaintance and caught up with him. Why are you so nervous?"
He just wanted to return a bug to him, why is he so nervous?
If he enjoys poisoning people with black-armored venomous insects so much, then he should use even more venomous insects instead.
Looking at the man who was protecting the girl behind him, Linghu Zhuoyu released the insect without hesitation.
He didn't care about any brotherly or sisterly affection, after all, the other party hadn't considered the relationship between him and his sister when they poisoned him.
Anyone who tries to take his sister away from his life is unforgivable.
"What did you do?" the man asked uneasily after the boy turned and left after speaking.
"It's nothing," the boy said with a tilted head and a smile, "just saying hello."
