After transforming into a fairy, I, in my simulation, wreaked havoc in the cultivation world.

Lin Qingyu quietly withdrew her hand, which had been about to casually touch the other person's shoulder, and subtly shifted her feet, creating half a step's distance between them.

She suddenly remembered that she was a respectable person and shouldn't be so frivolous.

It's not that I'm afraid this is reality, but if I get caught by some big shot, even with "rewinding," it would be very difficult to escape.

"Um?"

Nie Zhanqiu naturally noticed her unusual behavior and glanced at her sideways. He couldn't quite make out the emotions on her otherwise ordinary face.

"Fellow Daoist, are you looking down on me?"

His tone was calm, yet it sent a chill down Lin Qingyu's spine.

"How could that be? A girl needs to be beautiful and elegant, with a graceful figure..."

Looking at the man in front of him who was giving a nonsensical explanation, Nie Zhanqiu suddenly burst out laughing.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she immediately suppressed her smile, stuffed the three sample stones she had chosen into Lin Qingyu's hand, and got up to walk quickly forward.

"It's been so long since I've seen Miss smile so happily..."

???

Listening to the girl's mutterings beside her, Lin Qingyu's lips twitched involuntarily. She really wanted to ask her right then and there:

Which listed company is your daughter the president of?

"Fellow Daoist, you haven't paid yet!"

Just as she was about to step forward and follow, the stall owner next to her quickly reminded her.

Lin Qingyu glanced at the girl beside her, her meaning clear:

I'm in a hurry to find your young lady, so please pay for it first.

The girl nodded in understanding, and after she left, she looked at Situ Zhao beside her, the meaning in her eyes was quite clear:

I'll kill you if you don't pay!

Situ Zhao: "..."

A moment later, the group sat down in a secluded private room, while many people were taking their seats in the lobby downstairs.

This is Liujin Pavilion, the largest auction house on Liujin Island.

His demeanor suggested he had long held a high position, and his personality could even be described as rigid.

What could this person's true identity be?

Lin Qingyu stared blankly at the various auction items displayed on the table in the center of the hall, while pondering Nie Zhanqiu's identity.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a furtive figure out of the corner of her eye.

Such a timid and hesitant demeanor, such cautious steps—Lin Qingyu narrowed her eyes slightly. That figure shrouded in the black robe looked like an old friend.

"What's wrong?"

Nie Zhanqiu resumed his previous dignified demeanor, followed her gaze, paused for a moment, and then suddenly raised his hand slightly.

"Buzz~"

A water mirror quickly formed inside the room, and then a familiar face appeared in the water mirror.

"That person used a disguise technique; this is his true appearance, and he seems to have suffered serious injuries. Do you recognize him?"

It really was Han Xuan.

Lin Qingyu paused slightly, it seemed that he must have met Gu Wudao before and suffered a considerable loss.

but...

To escape from that great demon is truly impressive, Xiao Xuanzi. You are indeed a master of escape.

Faced with Nie Zhanqiu's question, Lin Qingyu slowly shook her head.

There's no need to complicate things. This woman's strength is terrifying. When she attacked just now, she didn't even sense a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation...

Attracting stars? Or becoming even stronger?

"Young Master Su, you don't need to be so wary of me."

Nie Zhanqiu could clearly sense the tension and unease in the other person for a moment, and his tone became more serious:

"I cannot reveal my identity, but you only need to know one thing: I will not force you to do anything."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman felt her palm fall into a warm embrace.

She looked down stiffly, only to see that the man who had been sitting opposite her was now kneeling in front of her, holding her hand and examining her closely.

"you..."

"Shh!"

The handsome man raised a middle finger and pressed it against his lips, his expression focused and gentle.

"Zhanqiu, I know a little about palmistry, I can take a look at your palm."

Those hands are so beautiful!

Under the woman's increasingly unnatural gaze, Lin Qingyu unceremoniously examined and played with it closely.

Since the other party had issued a disclaimer, she naturally wouldn't be polite.

The girl standing behind Nie Zhanqiu had her head down, her shoulders shaking, suppressing a laugh while a hint of cunning lurked in her eyes.

This young master Su is quite interesting. I wonder if he will still dare to act this way after he learns of the young lady's identity.

"Did you...did you see anything?"

Nie Zhanqiu's gaze drifted downstairs to the old man who had already stepped onto the auction stage, and he spoke stiffly.

"Um..."

Lin Qingyu gave the woman another squeeze, then reluctantly withdrew her hand. She then sat down beside the woman with an air of profound mystery and said:

"Qiu'er is a born strong person, and she will surely stand above all others."

Situ Zhao stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief, a hint of admiration flickering in his eyes.

The two women's expressions changed slightly, and they were startled. Could this person really know some kind of physiognomy?

Lin Qingyu certainly wouldn't, but even if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen pigs run?

In her hometown, there was an old man who ran a fortune-telling stall. He only had two sets of sayings, but they were enough to handle any situation.

Right now, it's just a matter of applying a formula based on the other party's temperament.

"But if the marriage is not going well, there may be many more obstacles to overcome."

Lin Qingyu's lips curled slightly.

The two women's expressions had completely changed, and the young girl quickly spoke, her tone even carrying a hint of respect:

"Does the gentleman know a solution?"

Solve my ass!

Of course, it's still just a guess.

Two young women of decent status went out, and when they saw someone they liked, they started chatting him up. Wasn't this clearly because they were forced into a corner?

But who exactly is Lin Qingyu?

She picked up the teacup on the table, took a graceful sip, and her true intentions were revealed.

"Perhaps it can avert disaster by spending money."

After saying this, Lin Qingyu said no more, no matter how many questions they asked.

Some things only need to be hinted at, allowing them to gradually understand on their own. Explaining them too clearly is a poor approach.

"I understand."

After a while, looking at the auction that had already begun below, Nie Zhanqiu had a flash of inspiration and seemed to have realized something.

"Ying'er, go light the sky lanterns. This auction... I've booked the whole place!"

Good guy!

Lin Qingyu exclaimed, "Wow!"

I thought she was a rich woman, but it turns out she's the God of Wealth himself.

"Miss..."

Before the girl with the strange expression could speak, Nie Zhanqiu waved his hand to interrupt her.

Do as instructed.

The girl gave Lin Qingyu a hostile look. She had already realized that this kid was definitely trying to fool her.

"yes!"

Seeing Nie Zhanqiu's serious expression, she could only stomp her foot, turn around, and quickly leave the private room.

"All proceeds from this auction are to be given to you, young master. I hope you will not find it offensive."

Nie Zhanqiu then looked at the man beside him, his words quite solemn.

Ah...this...

The more this happened, the more guilty Lin Qingyu felt. What if the other party discovered the truth and she was locked up in a dark room?

"I cannot accept a reward without merit; how could I, Su, take advantage of the young lady for no reason?"

Lin Qingyu's expression remained flawless, and she decisively declined.

"Then forget it."

"what?"

"I was just joking with you, young master. I hope you don't mind?"

Seeing the man's blank stare, Nie Zhanqiu's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

An interesting man.
