Chapter 1193: Snatching Business?
Ha ha, there had to be ghosts for me to believe you.
“This kind of neurotoxin that comes from devil grass will paralyze one’s nerves in the short term before subsequently affecting the limbs and body. It will slowly turn a person into a handicapped paraplegic.” Qiao Mu gnashed her teeth furiously. “This Ding Tingding really is evil.”
Mo Lian smoothed her hair. “Unfortunately, he doesn’t know that because I have Qiaoqiao, all poison is useless to me.”
Yet Qiao Mu simply cast him a sidelong glance. “This is not the reason for holding back your body’s situation from me.”
“Yes, yes, yes. In the future, I will tell you immediately if something happens to me.” Mo Lian smiled at her. “Actually, it doesn’t matter if Qiaoqiao detoxifies my poison after you completely recover your mental energies in one or two days…”
However, when Mo Lian saw the little fellow’s reproachful look, his voice unwittingly got softer, and he couldn’t resist hugging her with a smile, relenting, “Okay, I admit my wrong. Quickly cure me okay, darling.”
“Humph.” Qiao Mu cast him a glance, not accepting his act of innocence.
This person simply didn’t cherish his own body. So awfully upsetting!
“Qiaoqiao.” Mo Lian turned her small body around and planted a kiss on her cheek. “Don’t throw a tantrum with me, mhm?”
Suddenly, the deafening sound of gongs and drums came from the streets.
“Folks, today is the grand opening of our House of Treasures, and there will be a large-scale auction tonight. At that time, we request the pleasure of your company.”
When Qiao Mu heard this, she pulled up the curtain and looked outside. “Could this whatever House of Treasures be meaning to snatch our Morning Sunlight Pavilion’s business.”
Mo Lian couldn’t help chuckling as he also joined her in peering outside.
Several burly men as well as several gorgeously-dressed women were standing at the head of the street, and they did attract a lot of attention with their gongs, drums, and shouts.
“Just the name of this shop shows no class.” Qiao Mu pursed her lips and commented, “From what I see, there isn’t anything special about this Pavilion of Treasures.”
Mo Lian: …
“Darling, it’s called the House of Treasures.”
Oh yeah! Qiao Mu retracted her small head and let down the curtain. “How about we go scout out the enemy’s situation tonight.”
“It doesn’t matter whether Morning Sunlight Pavilion’s business is good or bad,” Mo Lian replied with a chuckle.
In any case, its goal of gathering all the rarities under heaven was fake. Its most important task was to relay messages.
“Did you sell all my talismans from last time?”
“They had long gotten sold.”
“Then I’ll give you another batch this time.” Those primary-rank yellow and blue talismans and the like were not of much use to her anymore.
Right now, she mainly used talismans made from ebony, not to mention that they were basically all high-rank blue talismans.
Mid-rank talismans were not such a rarity to her anymore, so she might as well toss them in for the crown prince to sell.
In any case, they only served as scrap paper if she were to keep them.
“Right now, everyone knows that Morning Sunlight Pavilion auctions off talismans. How could other people snatch this exclusive business of ours.” Mo Lian smirked with a raise of his brow. “However, if you want to go have fun at that House of Treasures, I will accompany you.”
“‘Kay, ‘kay. Let’s go check it out tonight.” The little fellow was a bit curious.
“I wonder what kind of good stuff they are able to auction.”
As they spoke, the carriage had already turned into Minshun Boulevard and reached the doors of the Marquis of Jiayuan’s Estate.
The marquis’s estate had received notice early in the morning that Qiao Mu was going to return today, so its main doors were wide open to receive them.
At this time, the Qiao Zhongbang couple hastily came out from the main hall to welcome them upon being informed.
