“Brother Tian, are you having a beef with Pei Xiewen?” Jin Mingzhe asked curiously. He somehow felt Yun Lintian was specifically targeting Pei Xiewen now. The atmosphere was entirely different when he handled Zi Mo.
“Yes.” Yun Lintian admitted. “I couldn’t wait to kill him.”
His voice was incomparably cold, filling with immense killing intent, causing everyone in the room to feel a chill running down their spine. Especially Jin Yang and Yu Rongxi. They glanced at each other with a hint of shock in their eyes. They had seen a lot of people, but none of them possessed such a deep-seated killing intent at this young age… How many people had died in his hand?
Huoyun Zhu was no exception. It was true that she had witnessed Yun Lintian’s unparalleled battle prowess, after all, she had never seen his other side… What kind of horrible experience had he been through before?
“One hundred and twenty-one million. Do you want to raise the bid, Young Master Pei?” Xiao Yue turned toward Pei Xiewen’s room and hoped the bidding war could continue.
Zi Mo looked at Pei Xiewen nervously. He was afraid that Pei Xiewen would give up, but he didn’t dare to urge him.
Pei Xiewen thought for a moment and said. “I give up.”
Woah—
The crowd in the hall exclaimed in surprise. They didn’t understand why Pei Xiewen suddenly gave up like this. However, some quickly analyzed that perhaps it was because Bi You didn’t want him to continue, and many people agreed with this.
“Brother Pei?” Zi Mo was at a loss.
“It doesn’t matter. Why should we spend money when we can grab her directly?” Pei Xiewen smiled faintly.
Zi Mo was delighted and clapped aloud. “Why didn’t I think of this? Haha.”
Pei Xiewen took a sip of wine while sending a sound transmission to his subordinate. “Send someone to tell Du Huanfeng about this.”
The subordinate replied and went out of the room.
Xiao Yue was disappointed to hear this, but there was nothing she could do. “Congratulations to the gentleman in room number three. We will send the item to you in a short moment.”
Yun Lintian was slightly surprised to see Pei Xiewen give up. An idea immediately appeared in his mind. He could guess that Pei Xiewen may send someone to inform Du Huanfeng about this.
However, Yun Lintian wasn’t afraid of Du Huanfeng now. He wouldn’t mind burying him here as long as he dared to come.
Knock! Knock! ．
At this moment, a knocking sound rang out, and Yun Lintian went to open the door. He immediately saw the previous young maid and Mu Qiuxue. Without waiting for the young maid to speak, he handed the storage ring to her and directly brought Mu Qiuxue into the room.
The young maid was stunned for a moment before checking the content inside the ring and left silently.
Upon Mu Qiuxue stepping into the room, everyone turned to stare at her curiously. However, the dullness in her eyes did not change in the slightest under everyone’s scrutinizing gaze. She still had the look of someone who lost all hope to live further.
“Tsk, her appearance is indeed amazing. One hundred million is worth it.” Jin Mingzhe clicked his tongue as he stared at Mu Qiuxue rudely.
Jin Yang didn’t say anything. He merely nodded his head in agreement. He had to admit that Mu Qiuxue was one of the most beautiful female humans he had seen in recent years.
The only one who looked at her with hostility was Yu Jiao’er. She was jealous that Yun Lintian was willing to spend a huge fortune to get Mu Qiuxue. However, she didn’t speak a word fearing it would disgust Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian looked at Mu Qiuxue briefly and pointed to a vacant seat on his left. “Sit.”
Mu Qiuxue had no reaction. She stood still in the place without the intention of moving.
Seeing this, Yun Lintian waved his hand, gently releasing his profound energy to bring Mu Qiuxue to him and forcing her to sit down.
“Judging from your look, you probably didn’t have a meal for a long time.” Yun Lintian brought a porridge out and placed it in front of her. “Eat this first. Your current body cannot withstand a high-energy meal.”
The dull light in Mu Qiuxue’s eyes rippled slightly as she stared at the fragrant porridge before her. However, she still didn’t move in the end. This made Yu Jiao’er dissatisfied.
“Hey, do you hear it? Brother Huoyun told you to eat.” Yu Jiao’er said with anger.
Yun Lintian waved his hand gently. “It’s okay. She can do whatever she wants. I didn’t buy her to be a robot that only knows to comply with my command.”
He looked at Mu Qiuxue and said further. “Eat it. I’ll unseal your profound strength after the meal.”
Mu Qiuxue’s eyes seemed to regain clarity upon hearing this. She raised her head slightly, looking at Yun Lintian. This was the first time she had seen his profile clearly since she was brought here.
The young man before her was obviously a half beast-half human, but she felt a trace of familiarity coming out of him for some reason. It was as though she was looking at her own kind. At the same time, she couldn’t see through him. There seemed to be a layer of haze around him, preventing her from guessing his intention.
Her lips parted gently. “Why?” Her voice was pleasant to hear, easily stirring men’s hearts.
Yun Lintian smiled faintly. “I’ve spent a lot of money not to get a burden. Unsealing your profound strength is for my convenience, and even if you want to kill yourself afterward, I won’t stop you.” He paused for a moment and continued. “Before deciding, listen to my offer first… I want you to follow me for a year, and I will let you be free. Of course, I wouldn’t do anything excessively or against your will.”
Mu Qiuxue, including Jin Yang and others, was surprised to hear this. They couldn’t comprehend Yun Lintian’s intention. Why did he spend so much wealth but let her go in the end?
“Ah, right. I forgot to tell you that Du Huanfeng is here on this continent. It won’t be long before he gets the news about you.” Yun Lintian added.
Mu Qiuxue’s body tensed up for a moment before relaxing. She stared straight into Yun Lintian’s eyes for a long time and simply said. “Alright.”
