49: Chapter 49: Auction 49: Chapter 49: Auction Once, Bai Bing had thought it was just her dream, but seeing Ye Tian again today, she knew it was real.

Bai Bing looked at Mu Yunxi beside Ye Tian and thought, “Is this his girlfriend?

As expected, only someone as beautiful as a fairy would be worthy of him.”

Bai Bing wasn’t as chatty as when Ye Tian had first met her; instead, she walked away after a few simple greetings.

This left Ye Tian quite dumbfounded; his actions seemed to have been unnecessary.

“Ye Tian, you knew this beautiful flight attendant?”

Mu Yunxi asked, seeing Bai Bing greet Ye Tian cordially.

“The last time I took a flight, she was also the flight attendant.

I helped her out, so I knew her.”

Ye Tian said in an unhurried tone.

“Oh, so that’s how it was!”

After Mu Yunxi finished speaking, she picked up a magazine and started reading it.

But in Mu Yunxi’s heart, she was still pondering a question; when Bai Bing greeted Ye Tian, her tone carried a sense of being unapproachably high and reverent.

As a martial cultivator, she could clearly feel that Bai Bing had just secretly glanced at her, not only with admiration for her beauty but, more so, with envy.

But thinking back, why was I so curious about Ye Tian’s past?

Mu Yunxi shook her head.

Seeing Ye Tian beside her had fallen asleep again, she helplessly had no choice but to look at the white clouds outside the window.

Actually, Ye Tian’s consciousness had already entered the Creation Heavenly Stele.

He faintly felt that this auction wouldn’t be simple, possibly related to the Qilin Compass in his hand.

This compass was engraved with many ancient characters that even Ye Tian couldn’t understand; apart from a Qilin-shaped pattern, everything else was unclear.

A few hours later.

The plane landed, and Ye Tian helped Mu Yunxi carry her luggage to the airport entrance.

“Ye Tian, did you want to go home with me?

I can arrange accommodation for you!”

Mu Yunxi asked Ye Tian.

“No need, I just called someone to pick me up.

Were you planning to take me home to meet your parents?”

Ye Tian said to Mu Yunxi with a smile.

As they spoke, the car to pick up Mu Yunxi arrived.

It was a sports car worth tens of millions.

A man got out, and his eyes seemed to hold a trace of jealousy when he saw Mu Yunxi.

“Yunxi, you’re finally back.

Dad’s been waiting for you for a long time.

Get in the car!”

The man said to Mu Yunxi, directly ignoring Ye Tian.

Because at that moment, Ye Tian looked utterly ordinary; apart from his appearance, he was much like any commoner on the street.

“Ye Tian, this is my second brother, Mu Shizhong.

I’ll be going first.”

Mu Yunxi’s voice carried some disgust, and she didn’t seem very cordial towards this so-called second brother.

Mu Yunxi took the suitcase from Ye Tian’s hand, but her hand accidentally brushed against Ye Tian’s.

This scene was witnessed by her second brother.

“Ye Tian, is it?

A pleasure, a pleasure.

Why not come to our Mu Family’s place for a visit, broaden your horizons?”

Mu Shizhong said to Ye Tian with an arrogant expression.

“No need, someone will be here to pick me up later!”

Ye Tian said lightly.

Mu Yunxi got into the car.

Mu Shizhong was seen opening his phone, typing something unknown, and then he gave Ye Tian a strange look.

Not long after.

A van stopped at the airport entrance.

Inside, a few burly men were talking, “Is this the guy Young Master Mu told us to deal with?”

“Should be.

The photo matches.

We’ll follow him later!”

Ye Tian noticed at a glance that there was something wrong with this van, but he didn’t dwell on it; it was too much of a headache.

Just then, a Mercedes-Benz drove over.

The license plate was another string of eights.

A bald man got out, but he didn’t have a fierce look; instead, he gave off a peaceful feeling.

“Instructor Ye, I’m late, please don’t blame this Old Xia!!”

“I specially combed my hair and bought a handsome suit just to dare to come pick you up!!”

Dragon King Xia Liping said to Ye Tian with a smile on his face.

“What hair did you comb?

Let’s go!”

Ye Tian said to him with a laugh, then got into the car.

Seeing Ye Tian get into the car, Dragon King Xia Liping also opened his car door, preparing to get in.

But before he did, he glanced at the van.

But that one glance seemed to make the temperature inside the van plummet.

Everyone couldn’t help but shiver, as if they were locking eyes with the Death God.

“Bo…Boss, should we follow?”

One of the underlings said cautiously.

“Follow what?

You idiot!

Have you ever seen anyone in Kyoto using a string of eights for a license plate?

Are you trying to get us killed!!”

The boss harshly reprimanded the underling.

He called Mu Shizhong and said, “Young Master Mu, did you make a mistake?

I can’t afford to mess with someone like that.

Don’t come to me with this kind of business in the future.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone, his back unknowingly soaked with cold sweat.

Mu Shizhong, who had already returned to the Mu Family, tossed his phone aside and said, “A few little thugs dare to throw a tantrum at me.”

In the car.

“General Ye, that van just now didn’t seem to have good intentions.

Should we…?”

Dragon King Xia Liping made a throat-slitting gesture.

“Don’t be fighting and killing all day.

Settle down a bit!”

Ye Tian found it a bit comical watching Xia Liping, with his kind face, make such a ruthless gesture.

“You said that about me?

I wasn’t even one percent of you!”

Dragon King Xia Liping muttered under his breath.

Don’t be fooled by Dragon King Xia Liping’s benevolent appearance; in the Dragon Group, and even in the Dark World, he was a renowned Death God.

After a short while, the car gradually moved away from the crowded areas and drove into the most secret military base in all of Huaxia—the Dragon Group Training Camp.

Inside were Huaxia’s most powerful martial arts cultivating special forces soldiers, responsible for handling major incidents.

Ye Tian and Dragon King Xia Liping secretly took a detour to the back and walked to the office, precisely to avoid too many people knowing about Ye Tian’s arrival in Kyoto.

“General Ye, this is the invitation the Star Pavilion gave me.

This thing is really hard to get, you know.

Only the Super Families in Kyoto are qualified to receive one.”

Dragon King Xia Liping took out a golden invitation card and handed it to Ye Tian.

On it, the four large characters “Mercenary Family” were engraved with gold powder, looking very striking.

“This kind of invitation, even the black market wouldn’t dare to trade it, fearing retaliation from the Mercenary Family.

It could be said to be priceless.”

“I heard that this auction is the grandest event since the Mercenary Family was established.

Many martial cultivators will go, and many treasures will be unveiled there.”

“But what are you going there for?

You couldn’t possibly still be lacking resources, could you?

I’d wager even Earth doesn’t have anything you need anymore!”

Dragon King Xia Liping teased Ye Tian.

“This time, I came for the Ding Family.

But if there are good things to see, it wouldn’t hurt to take a look.

Anyway, I’m used to being bored, and I can’t just sit in this shabby office of yours all day, right!”

Ye Tian said, looking at the invitation and lowering his head in thought.

“If news of your arrival got out, this auction would definitely turn into your personal appearance show, haha!”

Dragon King Xia Liping said to Ye Tian with another laugh.

“Alright, arrange a place for me to stay today.

The auction only starts tomorrow.

I need to prepare properly.”

“I feel like the people coming to this auction won’t be simple!”

Ye Tian said seriously.

“Oh, come on.

The ‘not simple’ one is you.

Does that even need thinking about?”

Dragon King Xia Liping said with a wave of his hand.

The Ding Family.

“Everything’s prepared, right?

Tomorrow, we’ll catch them all in one go!!”
