It turns out, they were the main characters.

Ye Yu did indeed win this time.

This naive young man completely exposed his affair of accompanying the Ye sisters at the auction house.

Chapter 69 Mu Zhian's Shura Field Crisis 4K

Standing on the high platform of the auction house, Lan Feiying looked at Ye Yu below the stage with a smile. Although there was no disgust on her face, her impression of Ye Yu had worsened considerably.

As an auctioneer, what I hate most is someone who interrupts the bidding rhythm halfway through the auction.

At first, she had a pretty good impression of Ye Yu. Although he wasn't handsome, he was at least pleasing to the eye and had good talent.

Who would have thought that Ye Yu would be so petty, completely disregarding how she felt on stage.

If it were any other time, being interrupted midway through would be one thing, but today her older sister was still watching from the private room, and she wanted to show Lan Mulian her best side.

Thinking of this, Lan Feiying glanced up at the private room on the second floor.

In front of a private room, the thin curtains were gently lifted, and a woman wearing light white embroidered shoes stepped out.

She glanced around, her gaze quickly settling on a private room. With light, graceful steps, she walked towards it.

Strange... Is something wrong, sister? Lan Feiying's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of doubt in them.

Originally, Lan Mulian hadn't planned to attend the auction because Mu Zhian had given her the Liuguang Soil two days prior, but she came anyway in order to see her sister's beauty.

Lan Feiying gently shook her head, clearing her mind of those thoughts. She looked at the cultivators below the stage and spoke again, drawing everyone's attention to the auction.

……

Mu Zhian was sitting in the private room, holding a teacup in one hand and absentmindedly playing with Ye Qian's slender hand under the table with the other.

He appeared calm and collected on the surface, but inside he was panicking like crazy.

"Ye Yu is so rude. He can't win in lane, so he just calls out enemy positions and sends reinforcements?" Mu Zhi'an thought to himself.

Since awakening his memories, Mu Zhian has been in control of most things, whether it's diverting the attention of the Gongsun family and the Morning Dawn Chamber of Commerce, besieging the black-robed man, or even obtaining the Qi of Heaven.

The only unexpected event was the appearance of the Devouring Python Queen, but the difference in strength between the two sides was so great that there was no room for maneuver at all.

This time, however, he realized with a profound realization that things were deviating from the predetermined path he had arranged.

Ye Yu's words were simply meant to mock Mu Zhian for spending over two thousand spirit stones to buy a useless piece of junk.

But in reality, Ye Lingxuan will still return the two thousand spirit stones to Mu Zhian at that time.

Mu Zhian could even use Ye Lingxuan's return of two thousand spirit stones as an opportunity to manipulate the situation further, inviting her to a nearby pavilion for tea and a chat, thus increasing the girl's favorability.

In other words, Ye Yu was always on the first floor, while Mu Zhi'an was on the fifth floor.

However... if we take off-field factors into account, Ye Yu's attack went straight from the first layer to the fifth layer.

Mu Zhian held his teacup, took a small sip of tea, and began to contemplate life.

"what happened to you?"

In the private room, Ye Qian seemed to notice Mu Zhian's unusual behavior and looked at him with concern.

Ye Lingxuan also glanced at her, her brows furrowing slightly, and said softly, "If you're not feeling well, don't force yourself. Let us take you home."

Normally, if Mu Zhian heard that the two sisters were going to take him back, he would probably be quite pleased, since it meant that his plan to win them over was one step closer.

However, now...

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled, "I'm fine, I was just thinking about something."

"But your palms seem sweaty. Are you really okay?" Ye Qian asked softly.

Mu Zhian's hand, hidden under the table, was holding one of her hands the whole time, so Ye Qian could naturally feel the change in his body temperature.

Mu Zhian waved his hand and said, "It's really nothing, don't worry about it."

He had just finished speaking when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching slowly in the distance.

The auction continued below the stage. Mu Zhian listened to the approaching footsteps, clenched his other hand slightly into a fist, put it in front of his mouth, and coughed a few times, imitating the voice of a rough and burly man.

"Cough cough cough..."

He had intended to hint to the girl outside that the private room she was looking for wasn't here, but his coughs ended up coughing Bai Ruoxi, who was standing at the door, into the room.

She lifted the curtain, and a beautiful face appeared in the three of them's view.

Wearing a white low-cut dress, paired with a pretty face, Bai Ruoxi, who already had a delicate temperament, looked even more pitiful.

For any man, Bai Ruoxi is the kind of beautiful woman who can arouse a man's protective instincts and make him want to hold her in his arms and cherish her.

But in Mu Zhian's eyes, Bai Ruoxi, who was now unveiling the curtains and appearing in front of the private room, was like the fuse of an explosive device.

Bai Ruoxi's usual aloof and gentle demeanor was gone. She stared blankly at Mu Zhi'an, then scrutinized the Ye sisters.

Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian were both scrutinizing this famous beauty from Tianxuan City.

"Sister Bai, is there anything I can help you with?" Ye Lingxuan looked up and asked with a gentle smile.

Bai Ruoxi glanced at Mu Zhian with a deep look, then turned her gaze to Ye Lingxuan, who was wearing a purple dress, and said softly with a smile, "I'm here to find someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

Ye Lingxuan glanced at Mu Zhian casually and asked, "Could it be Young Master Mu?"

She continued with a smile, "I remember that Young Master Mu pursued you for a while before, but you were rejected each time."

"But I also heard that you two were being affectionate near the arena a couple of days ago, and it seems that you are already together. Is that true?"

Bai Ruoxi did not answer, but glanced at the two girls in the private room with a look of brilliance.

The first person she saw was the elegant and polite Miss Ye. She had a smile on her face, wore a purple dress, a ribbon that outlined her slender waist, and a small section of her snow-white calves was exposed under the hem of the dress. She had a refined and graceful demeanor.

Bai Ruoxi's gaze swept past Ye Lingxuan and looked at her younger sister Ye Qian beside her. The pure and lovely Ye Qian had already broken free from Mu Zhian's grasp and was now lowering her head slightly.

Noticing their gazes, she smiled, her small mouth slightly open, as if about to speak.

At this moment, Mu Zhian poured Bai Ruoxi a cup of tea, attempting to interrupt the conversation, and said, "Ruoxi, why did you come to the auction house so early this morning? Is there something you want to buy?"

"Anyway, let's sit down and have a cup of tea first." He said, looking up at Bai Ruoxi and smiling gently.

Bai Ruoxi glanced at Mu Zhian with a deep look, and then inadvertently glanced at the Ye sisters.

She took a seat at Mu Zhi'an's invitation, but surprisingly did not question him about why he accompanied other girls to the auction.

She simply leaned forward slightly, picked up her teacup, and took a sip of tea. This action caused her proud chest to press against the table, completely overshadowing the two pretty girls beside her.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

But this awkward atmosphere made Mu Zhian feel a little more at ease.

He wasn't afraid of an awkward atmosphere, but he was afraid of Bai Ruoxi's forceful and aggressive questioning.

Bai Ruoxi was clearly about to say something "dangerous," but fortunately he interrupted her halfway through.

As he had guessed, Bai Ruoxi's personality was rather weak and passive, unlike others; she only felt sorry for her own young master Mu.

Ye Yu's move, which seemed to have reached the highest level, was actually still within the realm of possibility.

This is where I need to take control and ease the tension... Mu Zhian smiled and was about to speak.

At that moment, the curtain swayed gently, and someone outside quietly lifted it.

What came into view was a beautiful woman dressed in a moon-white long dress, her hair simply tied up with a white ribbon, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall, and her pretty face covered with a thin veil.

She glanced casually at the people in the private room, then looked at Mu Zhian with a cold gaze, her eyes filled with mockery and anger.

Senior Sister Lan?!

Mu Zhian's smile froze completely, his body stiffened slightly, like a sculpture that might be blown away by the wind at any moment.

Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian both looked at the woman with surprise.

They knew the other party's identity, but they never expected that this examiner of the sect's assessment would appear at the auction and even come to this private room.

Did they go to the wrong private room, or were they also looking for someone, like Bai Ruoxi?

The Ye sisters both silently looked at Mu Zhi'an.

Senior Sister Lan's relationship with Mu Lang is indeed not that simple... Bai Ruoxi slightly raised her eyelids, and her originally bright and beautiful eyes lost some of their luster.

Despite the stares, Mu Zhian calmly put down his teacup, a flawless smile on his face, and said:

"Senior Sister, what brings you here? Didn't you say you weren't interested in auctions?"

Lan Mulian glanced around at the people in the private room, a faint smile curving her lips beneath the thin veil, and said, "I came to the auction house to look for someone, but I didn't expect to run into you here by such a coincidence."

"You said a couple of days ago that you probably couldn't go to the Dawn Auction House with me today. At first, I thought you had something important to do. So, you've already made plans with someone else?"

As she said this, her icy gaze, as cold as a frozen pool, looked at him indifferently.

“He said something similar to me a couple of days ago.” Bai Ruoxi sighed softly. Not to mention the men, even the girls present couldn’t help but feel a flutter in their hearts when they saw this scene.

She looked at Mu Zhian and asked softly, "Mu Lang, why aren't you saying anything?"

The private room was completely silent.

A simple title brought an eerie silence to the entire private room.

Mu Zhian never imagined that the nickname he used to "tease" Bai Ruoxi would be used by this beauty at this moment.

In this era, women would address their beloved by adding the character "郎" (lang) after his surname.

This form of address subtly conveyed her stance without annoying the man, as it was a form of address that Mu Zhian himself had asked Bai Ruoxi to use.

Although she appears delicate on the surface, Bai Ruoxi's skills are far superior to those of many others.

Ye Qian had just begun to experience the feeling of being in love when she heard Bai Ruoxi address her as such, and her face immediately darkened. She lowered her head and remained silent.

She doesn't show her bad mood directly; she just silently bears it herself.

Ye Lingxuan's face was equally cold as she silently stared at Bai Ruoxi.

She could sense that Bai Ruoxi's way of addressing her was somewhat like a declaration of sovereignty.

Mu Zhian's "heartwarming" actions had won over the girl's heart. Even though Ye Lingxuan didn't have romantic feelings for Mu Zhian yet, she still felt somewhat unconvinced after hearing Bai Ruoxi's declaration of war.

Lan Mulian was covered by a thin veil, so her expression was unreadable, but her eyes grew increasingly cold.

In the past few days, Mu Zhian has been exchanging letters with Lan Mulian. Every few days, Mu Zhian would express her longing for him. She had some affection for this boy who was a little younger than her. Hearing Bai Ruoxi's address at this moment, her feelings were naturally complicated.

Ye Yu stood outside the private room, motionless.
