When I stopped licking, the lady panicked.

In that instant, Ruoshui felt a surge of disdain: Ha, just like any other man.

As a result, Lin Xuan did not catch Ruoshui, but instead caught a flying insect in his hand.

"It seems your Wan Jin Auction House isn't so safe after all." Lin Xuan opened his palm, squeezing a flying insect flat in his hand.

"What is this?" Ruoshui frowned.

Lin Xuan said, "Gu worms."

Startled, Ruoshui stood up and immediately ordered the guards to be on guard.

Lin Xuan casually tossed away the Gu worm and said, "The person has already escaped."

Ruoshui walked to the window and glanced outside. The night was as dark as ink, and there wasn't a soul in sight.

"Who exactly put the Gu worms here?" Ruoshui asked, puzzled.

Lin Xuan said, "There are no Gu worms within Daqing territory, so it must be the Southern Barbarians. Have you provoked the Southern Barbarians?"

Ruoshui shook her head and said, "Our auction house has always adhered to the principle of making money through harmony and will not actively make enemies with anyone."

Lin Xuan said, "Since they weren't here for you, then they must be here for me."

"They came for you?" Ruoshui covered her mouth, somewhat surprised. "How did you manage to provoke the Southern Barbarians?"

Lin Xuan remained silent, but he guessed the identity of the person who made the move.

There was only one person who had a grudge against him and was connected with the Southern Barbarians: Yun Xiyue's elder brother, Yun Cheng.

Lin Xuan had never met Yun Cheng in his previous life, but he had heard Yun Xiyue mention Yun Cheng's name.

It is said that he was training outside and was a disciple of a sect.

As for which sect it was, Lin Xuan didn't know, because Yun Xiyue didn't know either.

"It seems Yun Cheng has returned." Lin Xuan frowned deeply and muttered to himself.

Ruoshui instructed her servants to be on guard and increased the number of guards, saying, "I'm sorry, young master, for startling you. I have arranged for more guards, and nothing will happen tonight."

Lin Xuan smiled but didn't say anything.

But he knew very well that if it were those people who were skilled in using Gu worms who were making a move, these guards would obviously be no match for them.

They're not going to fight you head-on at all. The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. How can we fight them?

Therefore, adding guards is pointless and will only cause people to see threats everywhere.

"There's no need to add more guards. They left after failing in one move and won't stay any longer. After all, the Southern Barbarians are skilled in assassination and would never appear in front of their target," Lin Xuan explained.

Ruoshui said, "That's fine, but it's better to add some more, just in case."

"Whatever you want," Lin Xuan said nonchalantly.

Ruoshui sat down again, tucked her hair behind her ears, and looked at Lin Xuan with great interest.

What secrets does this boy hold? I'm really curious.

Soon, the evening auction began.

Lin Xuan sat in his seat, watching Ruoshui give her opening remarks on stage.

Ruoshui, who was at the nightclub, changed into an even sexier outfit. Every time she moved her bare legs, the high slit of her skirt would open, revealing a patch of snow-white skin that made everyone's mouths dry and their hearts race.

"Ruoshui knows what you bidders want. Now, Ruoshui will bring you our first item for auction."

As she spoke, Ruoshui clapped her hands, and three cages covered with red cloth were brought onto the stage.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Ruoshui peeled off the red cloth covering the cage one by one.

Three beautiful women, dressed in rags, with fair skin and curvaceous figures, were locked in a cage.

The cage space was extremely small, leaving them little room to move around. As a result, some of them were curled up with their legs tucked in, some were kneeling, and others were lying down.

Because their clothes were already tattered, these poses made them appear even more alluring and seductive.

The shackles and collars on their bodies also added a touch of wild allure to them.

"These three are the long-awaited dual cultivation partners. They are all martial artists at the Earth Profound Realm, and their figures, skills, and looks are all top-notch."

As Ruoshui spoke, she introduced the three cultivation partners in the cage to everyone.

"The starting bid is now five million taels."

"I want the one on the far left, I like the fuller figure!"

"I want the middle one, I like the one with a slim waist!"

"Give me the one on the far right, he's so good-looking!"

The photographers in the audience immediately became excited, and some even stood up and shouted.

This situation made Lin Xuan sigh in admiration: they truly deserve to be disciples of the Joyful Union Sect. Even when sold as slaves, they can still drive a group of men crazy for them.

However, those three women are so beautiful and charming, and they are skilled in seduction. If they were to retaliate, would they be able to handle them?

I'm afraid it will be sucked dry, right?

For their safety, the righteous Lin Xuan had no choice but to take on the danger himself.

"Fifty million," Lin Xuan shouted directly.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and turned to look at Lin Xuan.

Ruoshui was also somewhat surprised, and then a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

I thought he was different from other men, but it turns out that all crows are black.

"Which one does this young master want to photograph?" Ruoshui asked.

Lin Xuan said, "I want all three."

This time, not only were the people present stunned, but even the three women in the cage were dumbfounded.

Want all three? Can he handle it? Even if he's young, he shouldn't be so reckless!

Ruoshui asked incredulously, "Young Master, are you going to bid 50 million for three, or 50 million for each?"

Lin Xuan said, "I can bid 50 million for three, but if anyone wants to bid, I'll bid 50 million for each one."

Upon hearing this, a cold laugh rang out: "It seems this young master is determined to have these three Daoist partners."

Lin Xuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man dressed in a black robe sitting in the corner.

He sat in that corner with his head down, his figure and appearance obscured, and even his voice was hoarse, as if he were deliberately concealing his identity.

Lin Xuan said calmly, "So what?"

"Please do me a favor and let me have these three Daoist partners. In the future, I will..."

"No."

Lin Xuan refused simply and clearly.

Lin Xuan wanted these three Daoist partners not because he was lustful, but because he had almost dismissed all the maids in the Lin family and needed to recruit some more.

These three are powerful experts at the Earth Profound Realm. For just fifty million taels of silver, their entire lives can be bought out, allowing them to guard the Lin family mansion and occasionally do housework.

Normally, if you want to hire a maid of the Earth Profound Realm, fifty million taels might be enough, but it would only be enough to employ them for ten years.

Moreover, how could a woman at the Earth Profound Realm be willing to be a maidservant guarding the house?

Therefore, for Lin Xuan, spending 50 million to acquire these three Daoist partners at this moment is a sure-fire way to make a profit.

Anyway, there's still a large area of ​​Imperial Crystal mines in the Beacon Forest. If we run out of money, we can just borrow from Dragon Butterfly.

"Since you don't know what's good for you, then I won't be polite anymore. I've shown you the way, but you didn't choose to walk it."

The man snorted coldly, looked up and shouted, "I'll offer sixty million."
