The hall fell into utter silence!
At the entrance of the auction, nearly everyone’s gaze fixated intensely on Lin Fan.
Every look carried a different emotion.
Princess Nangong Li knows Lin Fan? And they seem quite familiar with each other? What exactly is going on?
"I heard there are many fine items at tonight’s auction, so I came to take a look. How come you are here too?" Lin Fan asked casually with a light smile.
"Oh, me! I came because I was invited by the City Lord of Heavenly Dragon City!" Nangong Li smiled tenderly, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
The people present began to hesitate!
"Strange! This young man seems very familiar with Princess Li!"
"Not just familiar? Judging by the tone and attitude of their conversation, even Young Master Long is left aside. Perhaps it’s more than just familiarity!" someone said intriguingly.
He gave Lin Fan a meaningful look!
"But... just now, the woman beside Young Master Long said this young man came to the auction to pursue her. But looking at it now, it doesn’t seem like it!" someone frowned.
"That’s not necessarily true. Maybe this young man really came to pursue that girl beside Young Master Long?" a man retorted.
A wave of cold laughter spread around.
"If it were you, knowing Princess Li, would you still go after that woman? What stature does Princess Li hold, she’s the princess of the Dayan Dynasty! It is said that the Emperor of Dayan Dynasty holds her as dear as the moon; would you discard an entire forest for a flawed tree?" a middle-aged man scoffed.
Xiao Yingyun is indeed very beautiful, extremely beautiful!
It depends on who she is compared to!
If compared to ordinary women, then Xiao Yingyun is absolutely a stunning beauty that could bring any city to its knees.
But compared to Nangong Li, Xiao Yingyun is significantly less spectacular!
"So, did that woman lie?"
"Lie? I think she is just wishfully thinking, assuming because she has some beauty, everyone is kneeling to flatter her! Such a woman... hehe!"
Many people in the crowd shook their heads.
Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Xiao Yingyun’s face turned a mix of green and red.
She wished she could just find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Who could have thought that Lin Fan actually knew Nangong Li!
"Princess Li, who is this?" Long Tianyu stepped forward, hesitant for a moment, and after giving Lin Fan a deep look, he finally spoke.
"This is Lin Fan! I just met him today!" Nangong Li replied nonchalantly without even a glance at Long Tianyu.
"What? You only met him today!" Long Tianyu was taken aback.
He had thought that Nangong Li and Lin Fan had known each other for a long time, which was why they were talking so intimately.
But judging by Nangong Li’s current performance, it doesn’t seem to be the case.
If it’s their first meeting today, then it’s easier to handle.
Long Tianyu cleared his throat, his eyes slightly narrowing, looking at Lin Fan maliciously, "Princess Li! Be careful, since this person only met you today! It is very likely, it was all his design! Princess, you don’t know, I have a friend, named Xiao Yingyun, who knows this Lin Fan! And this Lin Fan, came to today’s auction just to pursue Xiao Yingyun!"
"What did you say? There’s such a thing?" Nangong Li’s brows furrowed slightly.
Lifting her beautiful eyes, she glanced at Long Tianyu in astonishment.
she turned back and glanced at Lin Fan with slight surprise!
All she saw was Lin Fan, looking serene and indifferent.
"Of course it’s true! This guy definitely has ill intentions, Princess Nangong, you must not be deceived by him. It’s better to stay away from such people! If you don’t believe it, I can have my friend corroborate this," Long Tianyu nodded and turned to look at Xiao Yingyun.
Xiao Yingyun approached with a cold expression on her face and silently nodded.
with a voice utterly cold!
"Yes! Although this person never explicitly showed intentions to pursue me, he was like a fly before, always hovering by my side! Today, I came to the auction house and he followed me here!" Xiao Yingyun spoke with a straight face, her heart not skipping a beat.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Li’s eyebrows furrowed.
"Are you brain-dead, Xiao Yingyun?" Lin Fan was furious and blurted out profanity.
"What did you say?" Xiao Yingyun’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, her face drastically changed as she was about to take action.
"Do you think because you’re pretty, everyone in the world should revolve around you? Huh? Think I fancy you? A few days ago at the Green Origin Sect, was the first time I met you, and wasn’t it you who pressed yourself onto me?" Lin Fan turned against her on the spot.
He was indeed enraged!
he had no intentions of having any association with Xiao Yingyun.
But she repeatedly slandered him again and again!
"Also, the Ancient Saint Inheritance that you received, if it hadn’t been for me giving it up to you, would it ever be your turn to obtain it?"
"Just this morning, you ran up to me out of nowhere! Saying that from now on we’re strangers, if we’re strangers, why should I have any damn thing to do with you?"
"Before obtaining the Ancient Saint Inheritance, what was your attitude towards me? Don’t you have a clue in your heart? And now you pretend to be a pure and chaste lady!!!"
Lin Fan’s words caused Xiao Yingyun’s face to turn extremely ugly.
Long Tianyu was also full of astonishment, incredulously looking at Xiao Yingyun.
"Is what Lin Fan said true?"
"Lin Fan, you really have a knack for slandering," Xiao Yingyun said, putting on a pitiful look, "Tianyu brother, this is all just Lin Fan’s side of the story! Do you believe him? Does anyone here believe him?"
tears flickered in Xiao Yingyun’s beautiful eyes.
Seeing Xiao Yingyun’s behavior, the other men present also began to waver.
After all, men can’t stand to see a woman cry!
Especially a beautiful woman!
"I don’t believe him!" Long Tianyu shook his head decisively, stepping forward to comfort her: "Yun’er sister, don’t worry, no matter what, I am always on your side!"
"Thank you, thank you, Tianyu brother for understanding me," Xiao Yingyun bent her head slightly and reached out a hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes.
a clear, cold voice spoke out.
All eyes gathered on Nangong Li’s beautiful face!
No one thought that at this moment, Nangong Li would stand up and express her belief in Lin Fan?
Could Princess Nangong be blind? Can’t she see that Lin Fan is a liar!
