Chapter 62: The Male and Female Leads Completely Fall Out? Lin Tian Wants to Flee!

Previously, it was Shang Chan who questioned Bai Bing’er, and Bai Bing’er said coldly, “Jiang Yifeng isn’t even worthy of being associated with me romantically.”

This time, Xuan Yuan Qingya replies, “Jiang Yifeng isn’t worthy of having any intimate relationship with me!”

Jiang Yifeng was stunned! Bai Bing’er was at least expected. He knew she had a direct, cold personality and would always say what she meant, never bothering to sugarcoat anything. But Xuan Yuan Qingya said it, too?

True, Jiang Yifeng had used some underhanded methods on her, but he believed he had done it flawlessly. Even the most sophisticated detection tools couldn’t uncover what he had done! So why had she suddenly turned on him?

What Jiang Yifeng didn’t know was that the very thing he ruled out first was actually the truth. He couldn’t possibly have imagined that there was a transmigrator named Lin Tian watching everything unfold. Lin Tian not only knew about Jiang Yifeng’s tricks, but he even recognized the specific technique from Jiang’s hand gestures alone.

Jiang Yifeng’s expression darkened. He looked at Xuan Yuan Qingya with a cold gleam in his eyes. He had endured multiple rejections from her already. Now, having been humiliated again, he couldn’t hold back anymore.

Standing up, he said coldly, “Xuan Yuan Qingya, don’t you think you’re going too far?”

Xuan Yuan Qingya gave a dismissive laugh.

“You really don’t know what you’ve done? Since the auction is over, let’s have a proper talk—just not here.”

She nodded subtly at her mother, Xuan Yuan Xing. In the next instant, dozens of black-clad men burst into the auction hall from all sides.

Xuan Yuan Xing, still graceful and composed, revealed a chilling strength. This was the woman who had led the mysterious and powerful Star Group for over a decade.

“Jiang Yifeng, you’re bold. It seems the old medical saint’s favor was wasted on you.”

Jiang Yifeng was shocked. He immediately realized that his underhanded method had indeed been exposed.

But how?!

Even his master had once praised that technique as being undetectable. Yet now, it had been discovered. He had no idea Lin Tian was the anomaly who saw right through his technique, not through tools, but by reading his hand gestures.

Realizing things were serious, Jiang Yifeng dropped his gentlemanly pretense and responded coldly, “So you really want to repay kindness with betrayal?”

He tried to guilt them by standing on the moral high ground, knowing that great families like the Xuan Yuan clan cared deeply about honor and reputation. But Xuan Yuan Xing wasn’t one to be easily manipulated.

“You think no one saw what you did to my daughter? You’re a disgrace to your master’s name. If we had known your character earlier, we would never have let you into our estate. You dirtied our castle.”

Jiang Yifeng’s face twitched. So it was the gold thread trick.

But how the hell had they noticed?!

However, he didn’t panic. He had backup. Earlier, he had called in supportmoriginally to secure the auctioned items. But now it looked like that support would have to save him.

He subtly pressed a button on his phone. A moment later, men in white and gold uniforms and golden masks entered, confronting the Star Group operatives.

“The Dragon Group?!”

Xuan Yuan Xing’s brows furrowed. A tall woman with a fox mask stepped forward. Even in a skin-tight suit, the white-and-gold pattern signaled her identity—Dragon Group.

“Star Lord, greetings from the Dragon Lord,” she said respectfully.

Xuan Yuan Xing sneered:

“This is how your Dragon Lord greets me?”

The fox-masked woman didn’t flinch.

“The old medical saint was kind to the Dragon Lord. His heir must not be harmed. We have to take Jiang Yifeng with us today.”

“And what about what he did to my daughter? Are we just supposed to let that go?”

Xuan Yuan Xing’s aura burst forth, visibly pressuring the fox-masked woman to take a step back. Even so, the woman didn’t yield verbally.

“The Dragon Lord will give you an explanation. But the medical heir, we must take him. Also…” she hesitated. “The agarwood and jade sculpture… We want those too. That was part of the Dragon Lord’s promise.”

Xuan Yuan Xing laughed angrily.

“You want to take Jiang Yifeng? Fine. But now you want to take the items we won? Why don’t you just take me with you too?!”

The fox-masked woman trembled, bowing low:

“We wouldn’t dare…”

Xuan Yuan Xing snorted.

“You can take Jiang Yifeng. But he has to undo what he did to my daughter first.”

The woman turned to Jiang Yifeng.

“Mr. Jiang, if you please.”

With an extremely dark face, Jiang Yifeng realized for the first time how powerful the Star Group truly was. Even the Dragon Group showed deference to Xuan Yuan Xing! But still, he complied.

He extracted the gold thread from Xuan Yuan Qingya’s body using a hidden technique, without needing to touch her, thanks to a resonance between the thread and another item in his possession. Instantly, Xuan Yuan Qingya felt a burden lifted. The strange “infatuated” feeling vanished.

“Are you okay?” her mother asked softly.

Xuan Yuan Qingya nodded coldly and glared at Jiang Yifeng:

“Did you ever consider that from today onward, the Xuan Yuan family will be your enemy?”

Jiang Yifeng’s face twitched. He replied harshly.

“I stand by what I did. You treat your benefactor’s disciple like this? If your family wants revenge, bring it on.”

Xuan Yuan Qingya smirked in contempt, “You used dirty tricks and still claim moral high ground? Shang Chan was right—you’re a despicable coward who can’t even accept defeat.”

Jiang Yifeng stopped talking. No matter what he said now, it would all be wrong. He couldn’t understand how everything had gone so wrong again.

Just like back at the Zhao family’s ancestral banquet, he had planned everything perfectly, aligned with multiple companies, and even turned Zhao Dongshan (the second elder) to his side. He was waiting to take in the Zhao sisters.

But everything somehow went astray. No sisters, and the whole Zhao family became his enemy. Now it was happening again.

He thought the jade sculpture and agarwood were keys to awakening his Saint Body. He had everything planned.

Now? Gone. Taken by Xuan Yuan Qingya. She became his enemy, too. A massive, terrifying one at that.

The Dragon Group was showing this woman such deference. What did that say about her power?

Jiang Yifeng was freaking out. From the moment he left the mountain, everything had gone wrong. It felt like some invisible hand was constantly ruining his plans, like someone was always one step ahead. That thought made his neck tingle with fear.
