"Nine hundred and eighty thousand." Xiao Yu was at ease as he called out a price.

"990,000." The girl's voice was weak.

However, when everyone was waiting for Xiao Yu to call out a price of one million, Xiao Yu opened his mouth and spat out two words that could kill the entire audience, "Abandon."

Are you even letting obsessive-compulsive disorder live?

"The Green Leaf Dagger is a martial skill that is imprinted within a true essence within a bamboo scroll. Each of it can only be activated once, and once activated, regardless of whether one learns it or not, it will dissipate. If that young lady buys the broken bamboo scroll, it would only be a broken bamboo scroll, it wouldn't even be worth one tael of silver."

Mu Xiaoling couldn't help but admire Xiao Yu for his shamelessness. How much of a grudge is this?

"The person on the second floor isn't from this world." Xiao Yu continued, "If you encounter it yourself, then avoid it."

"I'm not a troublemaker, as long as she doesn't provoke me." Mu Xiaoling calmly ate the snacks on the table.

After the auction ended, the two of them put on their black cloaks and masks, then left the Bohai Pavilion together with a group of people.

Mu Xiaoling stood by the door and looked at the sun outside. It felt like a lifetime had passed.

While he was still in a daze, he suddenly heard a voice: "Get out of the way."

However, when that person moved, Mu Xiaoling was the first to feel the air current around him. She dodged to the side, then was pulled by Xiao Yu and fell into Xiao Yu's embrace. When she turned around to look, she saw a beautiful young girl dressed in a fiery red dress rushing out.

Amongst the group of black-masked men, the young lady's outfit was eye-catching, as if she was too lazy to hide it. However, her voice was a bit hoarse, and she had a familiar tone.

Lie Qing was very surprised that this young lady was able to dodge his attack. He originally wanted to beat her up, but when he thought of the bamboo block in his arms, he coldly snorted and left.

She was originally a member of the middle realm's Lie family. This time, she came from the lower realms for the Green Leaf Dagger martial skill.

Lie Qing continued returning to his own inn. He pushed back the maid who was following her down into the bamboo block. However, the bamboo block was completely empty; there was nothing inside.

"How is this possible!" Li Qing could not believe it. Nine hundred and ninety thousand silver taels for an empty bamboo scroll?

This was fooling around with her, how was she going to meet people if news of this got back to the Lie family!

That's not right!

Other people might not be able to sense it, but the moment she saw the bamboo block, she felt the unique aura of the Green Leaf Dagger. How could it suddenly disappear unless someone took advantage of her bid to steal the martial skill?

Who could it be …

Li Qing paced back and forth anxiously. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind. She thought of the man who gave up halfway through the bidding war. She immediately confirmed, "It must be him!"

No, she had to find the martial skill quickly!

Mu Xiaoling didn't know about the martial skill that was on her mind. She was just very happy to get this dagger type of martial skill. Seeing Xiao Yu, she wasn't that disgusted anymore.

Thus, when Xiao Yu pulled her to the evening market, he didn't refuse.

It was already dusk, but there was still some time before the evening market started. Thus, the two of them found a teahouse and sat down.

Inside the teahouse, there was a girl not more than 14 or 15 years old. She had a beautiful appearance and was playing her pipa as she sang.

The two of them did not ask for a private room. Instead, they found a table near the window on the first floor and asked for a pot of cold tea and two plates of pastries.

The two of them did not speak, enjoying this rare moment of peace and quiet.

The cool evening breeze blew into the teahouse through the window and lifted up the hair at Mu Xiaoling's ear.

"Ling'er, be my concubine. You will have everything, rights, wealth, martial skills, etc. Everyone will kowtow to you, and if you want, I can even give you this world. I can even give you this world, so that you can become a female emperor, so what's wrong with that?"

Mu Xiaoling had to admit that when Xiao Yu got close to her, her heart throbbed slightly, but that slight throbbing disappeared with his words. She pushed Xiao Yu away and firmly shook her head, "I, Mu Xiaoling, will naturally fight for what I want. Xiao Yu, we are not suitable."

If she really wanted it, then she would be able to have a pair for life. Xiao Yu might be interested in her, but he wanted to make use of her. What he wanted was not a lover, but an obedient puppet.

Xiao Yu sighed, but didn't say anything about giving up, and only returned to his seat.

The teahouse was clearly very noisy, but this kind of noise was isolated by the two and was not affected in the slightest. However, at this moment, the singing girl's sharp scream suddenly pierced through this layer of isolation.

Mu Xiaoling turned her head to see a wealthy young master holding onto the singing girl's wrist and laughing out loud, "You little girl, you are really too delicate, it suits my intentions. Mu Xiaoling turned her head to see a wealthy young master, holding onto the singing woman's wrist and laughing out loud:" You really are too tender, it suits my wishes.

The singing girl cried miserably, "This young master, I am only relying on my voice to earn a living. Although my life is tough, I do not wish to be a concubine. I hope young master can spare me."

"Hmph, this young master has his eyes on you and there's no escape. If you don't want to, then I'll just directly take you back to the mansion and talk after you have your bridal chamber." That young master grabbed the person and walked out, followed by two servants who blocked the girl's path.

Those in the teahouse who didn't know the truth asked, "Who is that? How dare he act so arrogantly under the Emperor's feet?"

Someone whispered back, "Who else could it be? Isn't it Second Master Du's son, Du De?"

That person swallowed an egg in surprise, "No wonder, it's someone from the Du Family!"

"That's right, the Du Family's main house is small, and is entirely up to Second Master Du. Their young master is naturally the future master of the Du Family, even the Emperor has to treat him with respect."

"No wonder no one dares to interfere."

Mu Xiaoling also didn't expect that she would bump into someone from the Du Family just by eating tea. She immediately threw out the tea cup and directly hit the back of that rich and hedonistic son of a bitch's head.

Du Di cried out in pain as blood dripped from the back of his head. He held onto the back of his head and looked around, "Who is it? Who dares to sneak an attack on your grandfather?!"

The only response he got was another teacup. This time, it directly hit his forehead, causing blood to gush out again.

The singing girl took the opportunity to bite down on Du De's wrist, and while Du De was still in pain, she immediately turned around and ran.

Du De was beaten to the point of dizziness, he angrily shouted, "Who, who is it, stand up for this young master!"
