Chapter 51: 051: Crimson Cloud Auction House (1) On his way to the kitchen, Yue Xuexia ran into Tan Bingyu and Tai Yang, who were sarcastically arguing and about to fight until they realized Yue Xuexia was staring at them. "Mortal, you are so annoying. I told you I was enough to protect Xue'er at home!" "Young master, I do not think that's a good idea. Leaving a single man and single woman alone in the house is not good. Who would know when one will turn into a wolf and jump on my mistress!?" "Who the hell is your mistress!? Xue'er is mine!" "Mine? Hmp! I wonder what this young master means with his words!" "Snort! Beating you up once will solve everything!" "Ha! Who is afraid of you!?" Yue Xuexia, who heard everything, asked, "Are you going to fight? You don't want your lunch and dinner any more. Hm~" "Mistress!" Tan Bingyu calls respectfully. "Xue'er!? No! I want them both!!!" Little Tai Yang said in his human form. Seeing the two of them stop fighting, Yue Xuexia nodded with a smile and said, "I'm a bit busy, so I can't cook lunch. There is no problem for dinner. How about we just order takeout online?" "Okay! Leave it to me. There is this store I've always wanted to try," Tai Yang said as he immediately grabbed the tablet PC in the living room and started opening a few delivery doors. Yue Xuexia said this before heading to the kitchen. "Don't buy me something with veggies. Grilled salmon is not bad. Sister Bing, you can also choose what you want to eat." When it came to food, Tai Yang had a good attitude. He gave Tan Bingyu another tablet PC, allowing her to choose what she wanted to eat. Since Yue Xuexia's card is connected to all delivery applications in this house, they can purchase anything they want. On weekends, Tai Yang would go out with Jixia and Ruxia to hunt restaurants in order to satisfy their cravings. Yue Xuexia made some iced cappuccino and went back to her room while the two were getting lunch. She was going to contact Lin Ruri's fiancé when he unexpectedly called her first; it was a video call, so Yue Xuexia answered it casually. Although Han Yoonjun was a little taken aback by Yue Xuexia's beauty, he was nevertheless devoted to his romantic partner, and so, in spite of Yue Xuexia's beauty, he treated her as his future wife's friend and spoke to her in English—unlike Lin Ruri had claimed. He said, "Nice to meet you, Miss Yue. I am Han Yoonjun, Xiao Ru's fiance. I called today because Xiao Ru says you have something to talk about with me. Also, I wanted to thank you for recommending me for promotion." Just before Han Yoonjun left for his house, he was called into the CEO office and told about his promotion from gold agent to team leader. This is such a big step, since he can now spend more time with his pregnant fiance and not have to personally serve his artists. CEO Kim also complimented him on having a good wife like Lin Ruri. At first, Han Yoonjun was confused about the relationship between their company's second-biggest shareholder and his fiance's best friend. Yue Xuexia said, "You can treat it as an advanced meeting gift. At your wedding, I will bring Xiao Ru's family and two other friends. I hope you don't mind, Mr. Han." "No, Xiao Ru will be delighted. I've asked her before if she wanted to bring them over but worries too much about my family. I've already explained to her multiple times that I will be on her side regardless of what my parents say," Han Yoonjun said. Yue Xuexia said, "Xiao Ru was born into an ordinary family. It's normal for her to be worried about how the parents of his beloved will look at her, especially for your kind of family, which is a bit traditional." "As expected, Miss Yue had investigated me," Han Yoonjun said. Yue Xuexia said, "I just need to check what kind of man will marry Xiao Ru. She is like a sister to me. So I hope you will protect her well." "I promise, I will protect her and love her with all of me," Han Yoonjun vowed. Yue Xuexia was even more pleased with the man Lin Ruri had selected; this girl, perhaps because she had not discovered genuine love until now, had only dated briefly while they were in college, felt content with his choice. "It will be okay as long as you keep this vow. Ah, right. Your parents would definitely have to come now that Xiao Ru's parents are coming. If so, change the reception's venue. Go to Lotte Tower and say my name. They will arrange everything for you both. All for free. It's almost time for you to go home. Take good care of Xiao Ru and my future godchild," Yue Xuexia said. A few more hours later, all three of them were prepared to depart, and Tan Bingyu decided to take the Rolls-Royce Dawn to the Crimson Cloud Auction House, the location of this afternoon's auction. Tan Bingyu's family is well-off; she has visited the Crimson Cloud Auction House numerous times. Those who wished to become members of this auction house were required to present documentation of their assets, or, more succinctly, their current bank account. Yue Xuexia enjoyed the scenery and said, "A mountain scenery? The ambience is not bad." Halfway up the mountain, they saw a beautiful old mansion surrounded by trees; there were guards on duty around-the-clock, and opulent cars of all different brands filled the parking lot; men and women walked in pairs or groups, each with a half-mask covering their faces; however, Tai Yang sensed that some of these people were similar to Tan Bingyu, cultivators if not more powerful than he was. Tai Yang mumbles, "Hm? Weaklings?" "As expected of you, they couldn't escape your eyes, ha! They are hidden cultivators that protect the Crimson Cloud Auction House. They are similar to us. It's just their source of funds while ours is the mistress," Tan Bingyu said. Yue Xuexia said, "I thought I was seeing things. So those weird auras are what you cultivators possessed." "Mistress, you can see through auras?" exclaimed Tan Bingyu. Yue Xuexia nodded her head and said, "As a divine doctor, when I treat someone, I base it on the flow of their energy in the body. Isn't it something that can be seen?" "Yes, but people rarely see them. Even among the cultivators, those who can see are rare," Tai Yang said, as he himself didn't expect Yue Xuexia to have such a kind of ability and the system didn't give such an ability. It seems he will need to check on her when they go home. After the car is parked, Tan Bingyu shows the guests a small red card, an invitation, or a spider lily brooch at the door of the ancient mansion. The three of them emerge from the vehicle with a half-mask on their faces. It is just a simple black mask, but when the three of them wore it, people could not help but turn around and look at them, especially at Yue Xuexia. The guard's disinterest in Tan Bingyu transformed to politeness as soon as he noticed the spider lily brooch hidden in Tan Bingyu's clothing. He even clasped his hands in greeting. "Esteemed Guest, the household manager had been waiting for your arrival. Please follow me inside," the guard said as he brought these three people to a separate pavilion behind the main one. A man dressed in antique red robes is playing the guqin; his hair is wrapped up with a spider lily flower, giving him an air of mystery and charm. The guqin sounds blended in perfectly with the background, but Tai Yang was angry for another reason. The guard stopped a meter away from the pavilion and bowed his head towards them. "The house manager is just ahead. Please go ahead." Tan Bingyu turns around and gestures towards Yue Xuexia to go ahead of them. "Mistress, please." Tan Bingyu's courtesy before Yue Xuexia astonished the guard; he could not help but tremble, considering his actions, and overlooked the two visitors with their brooch from the auction behind this distinguished one. As if feeling the fear of the guard, Yue Xuexia smiled at him and said, "Don't be afraid. You did a good job escorting us to this place." The guard felt delighted yet still stuttered in excitement, "Thank you, Venerable One." "Venerable one?" echoed Yue Xuexia in confusion. Tai Yang squinted his eyes, as if warning, and held Yue Xuexia's hand, sensing all the many levels of cultivation hidden in this back mountain. "Xue'er, let's go," he said. "Okay?" Yue Xuexia was a bit confused, but she let Tai Yang pull her away. When Tai Yang looked at Tan Bingyu and realized what the people at the Auction House had done, only Tan Bingyu felt the hidden anger that Tai Yang was hiding. She gripped her hand, furious that the auction house would send people to send coercion towards the other two with him. The mistress seemed unaffected, but Tai Yang was clearly furious. "This bastard is really...!" Tan Bingyu murmured. She was talking about the man in ancient clothes.
