When I stopped licking, the lady panicked.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiyue was somewhat displeased. She could clearly sense that Ruoshui's gaze towards Lin Xuan was unusual, and she could also clearly sense the other party's hostility towards her.

Yun Xiyue looked at Lin Xuan, hoping that he would take the initiative to stand on her side.

However, Lin Xuan did not.

Yun Xiyue felt both angry and aggrieved by Lin Xuan's reaction.

Why did he used to listen to me so obediently, but now he ignores me completely?

In a fit of anger, Yun Xiyue turned and left, saying, "No need, I can walk by myself."

After saying that, Yun Xiyue left the auction house alone.

Seeing Yun Xiyue leave on her own initiative, Ruoshui smiled gently and said, "Young Master, please come with me."

Lin Xuan nodded and silently followed Ruoshui into the private room.

……

On the way back, Yun Xiyue cursed Lin Xuan as she walked.

After walking only a few steps, his path was blocked.

"Who!" Yun Xiyue was startled and immediately assumed a defensive stance.

"Xi Yue." Xiao Zhan stepped out of the shadows, his eyes filled with frustration and sorrow.

"Brother Zhan?" Yun Xiyue looked at Xiao Zhan in surprise.

The person who shone so brightly in her memory had now become so disheveled and wretched.

"Xi Yue, why...why are you helping Lin Xuan? Have you really fallen in love with him?" Xiao Zhan asked sadly.

This question struck Yun Xiyue like a nerve, causing her to react extremely strongly: "How could this be! How could I possibly fall in love with Lin Xuan?"

Xiao Zhan asked, "Then why have you repeatedly helped him?"

"I... Lin Xuan and I are husband and wife, although it's a marriage of convenience, but... in front of outsiders, we still have to put on an act, right?" Yun Xiyue said, her voice lacking confidence.

Xiao Zhan sighed deeply, and before he could say anything, another man's voice came from behind him.

"Your Highness, let me do it."

Xiao Zhan silently took a step back.

Then, a man wearing a cloak emerged from the darkness.

He stepped forward slowly, carefully removed his cloak, and revealed his true appearance.

He was a man with sharp features and a angular face. His features were exquisite, and there was a slight resemblance between his eyebrows and Yun Xiyue.

"Big brother? When did you get back?" Yun Xiyue asked in surprise.

This person is Yun Xiyue's elder brother, Yun Cheng.

For many years, Yun Cheng has been gaining experience outside and has basically never returned to Daqing.

He possesses exceptional talent and unfathomable cultivation, and has also acquired extraordinary skills outside the martial arts world, making him a formidable opponent for ordinary martial artists.

He would never have returned to Daqing if it weren't for a family emergency.

"Just got back," Yun Cheng said coldly. "Did you know about the unexpected trouble that happened at home?"

"What's wrong?" Yun Xiyue asked, puzzled.

She spent all her time at home doing laundry with Lin Xuan, and was almost completely oblivious to what was happening outside.

Therefore, she only knew a little about what had happened to the Yun family.

Yun Cheng frowned and said, "Father has been removed from his position as city lord and has been taken to the capital; my second brother's cultivation has been destroyed and he is still unconscious."

"All of this was done by your good husband, Lin Xuan."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiyue was shocked and exclaimed, "Impossible! Even if Lin Xuan had managed to defeat my second brother by sheer luck, he couldn't possibly have crippled his cultivation! This is absolutely impossible!"

At this moment, Xiao Zhan spoke up: "I was there on the day of the martial arts competition."

"I witnessed the entire process of Lin Xuan crippling Yun Xiao!"

"His methods were so cruel that they were simply outrageous."

Yun Xiyue was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Yun Cheng said, "I returned to Daqing this time to avenge my father and second brother, but now that my father is imprisoned, my primary goal is to rescue him. As for Lin Xuan..."

As he spoke, Yun Cheng took out a dagger and handed it to Yun Xiyue.

"You have the best chance to make your move."

Looking at the purple-bladed dagger that Yun Cheng handed over, Yun Xiyue's feelings became extremely complicated.

After hesitating for a moment, Yun Xiyue still chose to accept the dagger.

Yun Cheng put his cloak back on and said in a low voice, "Sister, Lin Xuan's crimes are heinous and unforgivable."

"Once this dagger pierces his back, his cultivation will be sealed and his soul will be immobilized."

"At that time, he will obey whatever you say."

"Take the opportunity to seize the Northern King's Decree, then kill him, and everything will be over."

Yun Xiyue stared at the purple dagger gleaming with a cold light in her hand, lost in thought.

……

Inside the private room.

Lin Xuan and Ruoshui sat facing each other.

Ruoshui, dressed in a purple fairy dress, sat opposite Lin Xuan. The semi-transparent silk material perfectly showcased her graceful figure.

She looked at Lin Xuan with a smile, sometimes shifting her legs, sometimes clamping them together, her charming posture making people's hearts race.

"Is the young master interested in the evening auction?" Ruoshui asked.

Lin Xuan said, "I don't know much about it, why don't you tell me?"

Ruoshui smiled and said, "Almost everyone who comes to our auction is here for the night session."

"Because almost all of our best items are exhibited at night sessions!"

Lin Xuan asked, "For example?"

"For example, dual cultivation partners~" Ruoshui replied with a light smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan instantly understood why nightclubs didn't allow bringing women.

So that's why.

"Those who can become dual cultivation partners must have extraordinary cultivation levels. If you capture them and auction them off, won't they resist?" Lin Xuan asked.

Ruoshui replied, "They are all witches from the Hehuan Sect, and no one cares about them."

"Moreover, they were all fed with Gu worms. If they disobeyed, the Gu worms would take effect, causing them unbearable pain."

"Therefore, there is no need to worry. Wan Jin Auction House has always valued its reputation. We guarantee the quality of anything auctioned here, whether it is an item or a person."

Lin Xuan said, "I'm not particularly interested in dual cultivation. If it's only dual cultivation partners that are for sale, then I won't participate."

"Of course not." Ruoshui shook her head. "We have many items up for auction."

"Oh? I heard that someone filmed an ancient battlefield before, is that right?" Lin Xuan asked.

Ruoshui smiled and said, "Young Master's information network is indeed impressive. Indeed, there have been people here who auctioned off ancient battlefields."

"Is there one this time?" Lin Xuan asked.

Ruoshui smiled mysteriously and said, "Young Master, you only need to participate. I will definitely not let you down. Also..."

As she spoke, Ruoshui stood up and gently sat down next to Lin Xuan, a captivating fragrance wafting into Lin Xuan's nostrils.

"I'm really curious, young master, why do you have such a deep mind at such a young age?"

Ruoshui drew closer, and her warm fragrance wafted over him, making Lin Xuan feel somewhat lightheaded.

The land of gentle pleasures is the graveyard of heroes; the ancients were right.

Lin Xuan smiled and glanced at Ruoshui, saying, "You really want to know?"

"Mmm~" Ruoshui smiled gently.

"Then I will tell you."

As he spoke, Lin Xuan reached out and grabbed.
