Chapter 726: Chapter 725: True warriors have never feared life or death, but please don’t involve others.
Mu Bei’s remark struck a nerve in Mu Zhong; he had indeed felt a clear disdain from Wen Xin… especially when he was being praised by her…
Xixi, “Why are all of you so afraid of Miss Wen? Don’t forget that your master is Master Xi, not Miss Wen!”
Dong Dong, “…”
Bei Bei, “Braveheart…”
Nan Nan, “I hope you can still speak like this in the future!”
After reading their three responses and thinking of Mu Chengxi’s attitude towards Wen Xin just now, Mu Zhong sent a reply in the group chat.
Zhong Zhong, “I hope you can leave a complete corpse when you die…”
After Mu Zhong’s message was sent, the group chat among the five of them virtually exploded. It seemed they could all see Muxi’s perilous future… too dangerous!
Dong Dong, “See? This is the ultimate enlightenment. Xixi, I hope you realize one thing: no mischief, no death!”
Nan Nan, “Not only is Miss Wen terrifying, but the power behind her is even more so. Her brother has already begun to awaken. My advice to you is that it’s better to offend Master Xi than Miss Wen!”
Bei Bei, “I’ll prepare a comfortable coffin for you in advance… Go for it, my brother!”
Having been by Wen Xin’s side the longest and most familiar with her character, Mu Bei always felt that Muxi had a knack for infuriating Wen Xin, so he wasn’t worried at all that the things he prepared would go unused.
Muxi looked at the messages in the group chat and let out a cold laugh. He refused to believe in their alarmist talk; just a woman, he certainly didn’t take her seriously.
Xixi, “Four useless things!”
Watching Muxi’s warrior-like reply, the four of them collectively fell silent. They didn’t want to be associated with this person anymore, wondering if it was still possible to leave the group now.
Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi were heading down to the underground auction hall in an elevator. As the elevator stopped, Wen Xin used her slender arms to pin Mu Chengxi against the wall of the elevator.
“How much longer are you going to keep up this pretense? This whole place belongs to you, doesn’t it?”
Wen Xin’s bright, black eyes met Mu Chengxi’s deep ones; she slightly narrowed her eyes, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing through them.
She suddenly remembered how she had boasted to Mu Chengxi about that black card at the restaurant, and wondered what Mu Chengxi thought of it!
Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand and gently pulled her into his embrace, looking at her with eyes that were tender and doting.
“This auction house is indeed mine, but it’s also my first time here; it’s always been Mu Zhong managing it.”
About this place, Mu Chengxi truly had no intentions of hiding anything from Wen Xin. As long as Wen Xin wanted to know, he was willing to hand over all the information to her, without her needing to go to the trouble of investigating.
Looking into Mu Chengxi’s straightforward gaze, I narrowed my kind eyes slightly and then scoffed, “Don’t think that just because you say nice things now, I’ll believe you. When we get home, you’d better explain everything clearly to me.”
“And hand over the admission ticket for the auction. You won’t need it. It’s your territory, so naturally, you have your very own exclusive box.”
Thinking about this problem, Wen Xin’s originally calm mood now became complicated again. It was really annoying, and looking back on her own bragging, it was quite ridiculous.
Mu Chengxi could see Wen Xin’s embarrassment turning into anger. He gently smiled, took Wen Xin’s hand, and led her out of the elevator.
“The service in the private room is not bad, but it completely lacks that kind of lively atmosphere. Today, let’s go to the main hall to see the excitement. Bid on whatever you like,” he said.
Mu Chengxi’s unique way of comforting slowly dissolved the anger in Wen Xin. She seemed to no longer understand what she was even angry about.
Before entering the auction, Mu Chengxi took out a mask from his pocket, put it on Wen Xin, and put on one himself. Then, holding Wen Xin’s hand, they walked towards the main hall.
By the time they entered the main hall, the auction had already started. The host was enthusiastically introducing the first item, an artificial intelligence robot.
Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin found a place and quietly observed. Neither of them seemed very interested in the item, so they had no intention of participating.
Like this, items were auctioned off one after another from the host’s hands, while Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi only watched with cold eyes, seemingly uninterested in any of the auction items.
Just then, a hostess walked by with a dark green jade stone, and Wen Xin’s eyes instantly lit up.
Sitting next to Wen Xin, Mu Chengxi immediately noticed the change in her expression.
“Do you want that thing?” Mu Chengxi leaned over to Wen Xin’s ear, asking softly. He could tell that Wen Xin was very interested in the jade stone.
“Yes, I do. That dark green jade stone should be from the ancient jade series of the Taros family,” she replied.
Hearing Wen Xin’s explanation, Mu Chengxi wasn’t too surprised. It wasn’t the first time that antique jade from the Mo Er Family appeared at an auction, just like the Warm Jade and several others they had acquired at auctions before.
“Just bid freely, I’ve got your back,” Mu Chengxi assured her. To him, as long as money could solve the problem, then it wasn’t a problem at all; Mu Chengxi was not worried.
Observing Mu Chengxi’s calm demeanor, Wen Xin finally understood the true meaning behind Chu Yunxuan often saying she was capriciously wealthy. The look was somewhat arrogant, but she liked it.
Soon, the bidding for the dark green jade started, and it instantly became intense. One person kept raising their bid card with a look of absolute determination that was oppressively powerful.
Mu Chengxi turned to look at Wen Xin, who hadn’t made a move. He grabbed the bidding card in her hand, intending to bid, but she stopped him.
“There’s no need to rush. That person is determined to get it. No matter how much you bid, they will follow suit. Let it go,” she said.
While speaking, Mu Chengxi also looked towards the person Wen Xin mentioned and felt the determined resolve of that person as well.
“That person… I’ll have Mu Zhong investigate,” said Mu Chengxi.
“Good, if it’s convenient, leave a contact number as well. Later, Mo Er can get in touch with them,” Wen Xin agreed.
Actually, Wen Xin wasn’t too keen on dealing with the matter, but considering the Mo Er Family’s status, if the Taros family gained strength, her life would be easier later on.
In the end, the man did indeed win the bid for the dark green jade, but certainly, he paid a hefty price for it.
