Yu Jiao'er saw Yun Lintian kept staring at Mu Qiuxue. A trace of jealousy appeared in her heart. She said in a sour tone. "Brother Huoyun…. Do you like this type?"
Her words brought Yun Lintian back to his sense. He turned to look at her and smiled wryly. "What are you talking about? I'm merely interested in her because I heard her name before."
Yu Jiao'er frowned slightly. "How could Brother Huoyun know her? Didn't you stay in the Ancestral Land all the time?"
It was not only her who thought like this but also Jin Yan, Yu Rongxi, and Jin Mingzhe. They looked at Yun Lintian, waiting for his explanation.
Yun Lintian shook his head. "In fact, I didn't stay in the Ancestral Land all this time. I had traveled to other continents before."
"Really!? Can Brother Huoyun tell me about it when you have free time?" A look of yearning appeared in Yu Jiao'er's eyes as she spoke. Her dream had always been to go out to see the vast world. However, because the situation of her clan was not optimistic, she had to obediently stay in the clan.
Yun Lintian understood Yu Jiao'er's thought. He smiled faintly. "Sure."
"That's good! Hehe." Yu Jiao'er smiled sweetly.

Yun Lintian didn't look at her as he replied through a sound transmission. "I didn't know her, Senior. However, I've heard a lot of things about her. She is a talented individual, rising from a commoner background. Because of this, she was forced to escape to the Western Continent because of Du Huanfeng, the Myriad Pill Palace's young master. He's also likely to arrive on this continent now. I'm afraid these people would try to get her and offer her to him later."
"So, are you going to bid for her?" Huoyun Zhu asked.
"Yes, Senior." Yun Lintian replied instantly. "Her profound strength has been sealed right now. As long as we help her, she could play a good role in the incoming battle."
"Don't get me wrong. I have no objection to this. However, are you sure you can convince her? From her current appearance, I don't think she has a will to live any longer." Huoyun Zhu said.
"She's temporarily losing her hope. We only need to ignite her hope again." Yun Lintian said calmly. "What I am concerning more right now is how to talk with these people about her."
Yun Lintian didn't want to reveal his identity to Jin Yang and Yu Rongxi at the moment. He had to find a way to convince them to accept Mu Qiuxue.
"It's easy. No young man could resist her charm. Having her as a maid is acceptable. They wouldn't be suspicious about it." Huoyun Zhu said with a hint of playfulness.
Yun Lintian smiled wryly. What choice did he have now?
At this moment, Xiao Yue calmly watched the crowd engaging in discussion. Their reaction far exceeded her expectation. She regretted it a little. If she knew it would be like this, she would undoubtedly put Mu Qiuxue as the last item for today.
"Alright, everyone. I believe you cannot wait to hear the starting price now." Xiao Yue's voice immediately calmed the crowd down. "The starting price of this item is one hundred thousand mid-grade Profound Stones."
As soon as the price came out, more than seventy percent of men in the hall were eliminated instantly. They initially came to join the fun and didn't expect there would be such a good item like this that appeared here. Otherwise, they would try to save money as much as they could before coming here. Even if they had to go on loan.
"Two hundred thousand!" Before Xiao Yue could start the bid, someone had already raised it. This left Xiao Yue no choice but to let it flow.
"Three hundred thousand!"
"Four hundred thousand…."
Many people kept bidding one after another, and the price had already arrived at three million in a few breaths.
The smile on Xiao Yue's face grew more assertive. Her mind had already calculated the commission she would get from this deal.
"Ten million." Zi Mo's voice suddenly rang out, causing the bidders in the hall to shut their mouths instantly. With Zi Mon joining the bid, they could only sigh helplessly and reluctantly give up. Even if they luckily won the bid, they would undoubtedly lose their lives in the end. What was the point of going further?

Zi Mo laughed slightly. "This can't be helped. I have never seen any human as beautiful as her." As he spoke, he glanced at Pei Xiewen briefly and saw the latter didn't have any expression.
Seeing this, Zi Mo was relieved in his heart. He was afraid that Pei Xiewen would compete with him. If that was the case, he could only give up.
It was as though he had seen through Zi Mo's thoughts. Pei Xiewen waved his hand and said generously. "Go ahead. I won't participate in this. I'm about to get married, after all. What's the use of getting this woman?"
Zi Mo smiled brightly upon hearing this. "Thank you, Brother Pei. Hehe."
Afterward, Zi Mo quickly shifted his gaze back to Mu Qiuxue. His mind had already filled with dirty scenes. He couldn't wait to take her away now.
"Miss Xiao, please hurry up." Zi Mo urged, causing his father, Zi Jinghu, to curse inwardly.
"Aiya, Young Master Zi. Xiao Yue will hurry now, okay~?" Xiao Yue covered her mouth and laughed coquettishly.
"Ten million. Does anyone want to bid further?" Xiao Yue looked at the crowd and then the private rooms on the second floor. Seeing no one spoke, her heart sank slightly. If the bid ended with this price, she wouldn't get much commission.
Just as she was about to reluctantly announce the winner, Yun Lintian's voice suddenly rang out. "Forty million."
The hall went silent once again. The crowd, including Pei Xiewen and his friends, turned to look in Yun Lintian's room direction with incredible expressions… How could this guy come up with another forty million?
