Chapter 187: Chapter 187: They Have It, I Don’t
Outside the auction, Duan Xiuqi pulled his cap down and walked back, his expression revealing impatience.
“Didn’t we agree that I would wait for you outside? Why are you still lingering in here?”
Tong Yunrou was startled and pulled Tong Qingyan, smiling at Duan Xiuqi, “It’s nothing, nothing. Let’s go.”
Duan Xiuqi, listening to the discussion around him, stopped, “They are talking about… Bai Chuwei?”
They were discussing the adopted daughter of the Bai Family.
Tong Yunrou cursed her bad luck inwardly and gave her niece a meaningful glance.
Tong Qingyan hurriedly explained, “Third Master, it was Bai Chuwei who bid on the lot from Room 03, but it seems she can’t afford to pay and was taken away. My aunt and I wanted to lend her the money, but she refused.”
The owner of this auction, Li Sheng, was someone Duan Xiuqi was familiar with. An eighteen-year-old girl like Bai Chuwei going to the third floor to meet the boss was like a lamb entering the tiger’s den!
Duan Xiuqi shook off Tong Yunrou’s reaching hand and immediately took out a card from his wallet, striding towards the third-floor staircase.
Tong Yunrou clasped her hands tightly, her face looking ugly as she watched Duan Xiuqi’s retreating figure.
Not only caring about Bai Chu, but even his niece matters to him?
Inside the third-floor reception room, the bodyguards gradually relaxed their vigilance.
This Miss Bai simply had scary tactics just now; now, she seems quite amiable!
Bai Chuwei had carved the remaining half of the jade stone into a lovably stupid beast.
Little Yellow Hair found Bai Chuwei very friendly, no longer tense, and asked curiously, “Miss Bai, what is this? A lion? Doesn’t look like it.”
“Bai Ze, with a lion’s body, and horns on its head.”
Little Yellow Hair exclaimed, “It’s so meticulously carved, even the whiskers are there. Miss Bai, people who don’t know better might think you’ve actually seen this divine beast.” Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel·fiɾe·net
Bai Chuwei curled her lips, smiling intriguingly, “What if I told you I’ve not only seen it but also ridden on one?”
Little Yellow Hair was stunned, and before he could open his mouth, there was a violent knocking at the door!
A bodyguard immediately went to open the door, and a black silhouette burst in like a gust of wind!
Accompanied by a refreshing scent mixed with faint traces of spiritual energy rushing towards her, Bai Chuwei’s arm was seized all at once by Feihan, who crouched in front of her, examining her, “Are you alright?”
Bai Chuwei stared directly at Feihan, her gaze sliding down from his handsome face to his slightly prominent Adam’s apple…
Bai Chuwei was skeptical; how did the fairies in “Journey to the West” resist eating Tang Seng’s flesh before dealing with the monkey?
Qi Mo followed behind, smiling gently, “Fourth Master Duan, I told you there was no need to worry.”
Bai Chuwei looked at him with disdain, “Qi Mo, you’re really heartless. I even carved a Jade Talisman for you!”
Qi Mo was somewhat helpless; it wasn’t that he was heartless, it was that he knew the capabilities of this ancient ancestor.
Even if the earth were destroyed, she would be just fine.
Bai Chuwei handed him the Orchid Jade Talisman, and Qi Mo carefully accepted it, his fingers touching the jade’s surface, which was cool and seemed as if warm water was flowing over his fingertips.
Absolutely a treasure!
“Thank you, ancient ancestor.”
Bai Chuwei picked up another lovably stupid little divine beast, and Feihan watched her without revealing his thoughts.
Bai Chuwei handed it to Bai Ze, “Big brother, this is for you. You can stop wearing that peace charm; it’s useless.”
The Peaceful Jade Talisman, as long as Bai Ze didn’t court death himself, could ensure his life was safe and prosperous.
Bai Ze was somewhat surprised, “You have one for me, too?” He had brought a card today to buy Spirit Talismans but had failed.
To buy a thoughtful gift for Bai Chuwei at the auction, yet Fourth Master Duan had beaten him to it.
He hadn’t spent a dime today, yet he received a precious Jade Talisman for free?
Feihan’s voice, calm as water, rose above Bai Chuwei’s head, “They all have one, but I don’t.”
Bai Chuwei glanced at the Sandalwood Buddha Beads on his wrist, correcting him, “You have one. Besides, they had an immediate need, you do not.”
