The Princess And The Lord

Bei Li Yan is not wrong, it's normal for him to question Lao Min Na capability even them questioning her inwardly if she really has that amount of money, she only been here for a couple of weeks and she stays at the Sanguan family manor it means she doesn't have her own residence at the capita and she also not part of the royal family so where she got all the money? if she really has the money.

Many people that attend the auction is from a noble and rich family, even they would not spend hundreds of millions of gold taels in one day.

Sanguan Wu Ci who share the room with Lao Min Na has no choice but to interfere "Mister, I think that's enough, don't you feel embarrassed pressured a young lady like this?" he accused Bei Li Yan to be petty and small-minded, is a good trick but it applies to the wrong man.

Bei Li Yan sneers at Sanguan Wu Ci "Maybe you don't mind being cheated one hundred and fifty million taels" he emphasizes the number of money he spends that make people headache just listening to it moreover take out that much of money from their own pocket.

"But not me…" Bei Li Yan narrows his eyes dangerously "What do you think miss Lao, I expected at least you have one hundred million gold tael in your Bankcard, you don't have to show me just show to the manager" 

Lao Min Na tongue-tied, if the manager checks her Bankcard he would know he not even have fifty million gold taels she can't let them know she only bluffing all this time or she definitely gets on the blacklist. Sanguan Wu Ci doesn't need to ask he know Lao Min Na doesn't have the money, he scoffed and cursed her inwardly. Sanguan Wu Ci start to wonder why he surrounded by stupid people? 

The manager came to the third floor then he approaches Lao Min Na, he takes this opportunity to make amend his wrongdoing to the people on the second floor and after all this part of his job he can't let anyone make empty bidding like this again or people would start questioning Dongchen house credibility.

Lory was surprised the manager ask Lao Min Na bluntly, in her world this is not ethical and part of the invasion of privacy so this behavior is not allowed, worst comes to worst you got blacklisted that's it, however, the rule in this world is very different compare to her old world.

She was stunned the manager has the authority to check someone Bank Card to make sure she has the ability to make a bid, even though this behavior is allowed nonetheless it must humiliate Lao Min Na quite a lot.

Lory was right Lao Min Na's face now turn from white to red. She glance at Sanguan Wu Ci for assistance she will not let herself humiliated like this especially in front of that woman and Zhao Li Xin. Lory raised from her seat she leans on the railing and looks up to the third floor curiously and she is not the only one.

Bei Li Yan snickered, that sleazy woman tries to take his money then he will take her well maintain reputation. He knows someone vain like Lao Min Na will put a great deal to her owned image and reputation 'What a stupid woman' Bei Li Yan lift the teacup and take a sip slowly.

"Manager Wang could you let this thing go for my sake" Sanguan Wu Ci raised from his seat, he had no choice because Lao Min Na is his family guest he even introduces her to the royal family. He can't let Lao Min Na implicated his family and him.

The Manager of Dongchen house sigh heavily "Because I respect you first Master Sanguan I'm still polite to this lady, if the lady here able to prove her innocent I will make public apologies in the name of Dongchen house and include her name as the most important guest for the rest of her life, trust me Master Sanguan I will never wrong my guest but I can't let anyone ruined my Auction" said the manager with perplexed looks.

Sanguan Wu Ci clenched his fist he had no word to retort although the Dongchen house is supported by the Sanguan family however the Sanguan family also gained a lot benefit from the Dongchen house, sometimes if the Sanguan family is searching for a rare item they will ask the Dongchen House for help and they also sent a list of item to be auctioned off to the Sanguan family first so they can raise the fund before the auction. This is the privileged that only given to the Sanguan family and Sanguan Wu Ci didn't want to ruin this long-established relationship just because of Lao Min Na.

Lao Min Na saw his hesitation and her expression become somber, meanwhile, Jin Kai who was also there watching Lao Min Na indifferently maybe he is curious if she could squeeze herself out of this situation he wants to know if she is as smart as she portrayed to be.

The tree of them waiting for Lao Min Na decision, with tremble hand Lao Min Na handed her bank card however before the manager could touch it Lao Min Na retract her hand "I will not be humiliated like this" she suddenly raised from her seat "I will take my leave" she pressed her lips together and leave the room defiantly.

And just like that she manages to run away without ruined her reputation too much, for many people Lao Min Na behavior is taken as someone who can't take being bullied, with one moves she push the blame on Dongchen house and the manager.

Lao Min Na lips quiver as she struggles fighting back her tears, Lao Min Na acted gain a lot of people sympathy they suddenly forgot what she had done wrong however someone ruined her plan.

 "Are you leaving now miss Lao?" Bei Li Yan smiles while folding his hand on the railing. Lao Min Na look up with a despondent expression she begged Bei Li Yan to let her go but who is Bei Li Yan? He is not someone who is gentle to fairer sex on the contrary he hated Lao Min Na to the core because she reminds him of someone he knew in the past.

"Oh, just for a kind reminder, next time don't play a game you couldn't win" Bei Li Yan grinned widely and then he Looks at Lao Min Na with a mocking look "But I think this is the last time I see you on Auction isn't it?" 

Bei Li Yan words stunned everyone, they finally remember what Lao Min Na had done then all of them staring at Lao Min Na with a suspicious look, they wonder if she was blacklist by Dongchen house? Is that mean the accusation is true? 

Fury roared through her mind, she can't believe how nasty Bei Li Yan could be, can he not kicked someone who already falls why is he doing this to her? Lao Min Na gritted her teeth and she stomp her feet as she left the Auction house in a long stride.

Lory let out a long sigh, she took a glance at Bei Li Yan who look enjoyed himself, suddenly Ming Yue Yin barged to their room she raised her thumb and smiles in triumph "Master Bei, I saluted you!"

Bei Li Yan smiles coyly "You are to kind empress Ming," he said shyly but his eye brimmed with satisfaction, ruined Lao Min Na's reputation turns out lifted his mood tremendously.

Yang Xi Ying also peek from the curtain, the elegant lady smile brightly "That is so exhilarating, you are great master Bei"

Bei Li Yan chuckles lightly "You embarrassed me, Miss Yang, ~" he waved his hand like a bashful young maiden which make Jin Hao nauseous he shouted exasperatedly "KNOCK IT OFF!" 

 "I'm bored…." Zhao Li Xin mutters.

"But Milord did you not see how I humiliated Lao Min Na, should you got excited" Bei Li Yan pursed his lips begging Zhao Li Xin for praise.

Zhao Li Xin let out a long exhale and say: "Only her head on the plate that can excite me" his eyes filled with blood lust that gives a shiver to their spine and the atmosphere becomes heavy instantly.

His casual words silence everyone in the room 'So dark'

The room curtain once again lifted this time the manager and his assistant bring a wooden box on the tray. The manager and his assistant bow their head courteously "Good evening Lord Long Ming, I came to bring your item" he politely said.

Bei Li Yan took the box and presented in front of Zhao Li Xin just like an Emperor, the cold golden mask hides his expression but it still gives chills to the manager and his assistant. He opens the box slowly then examined the map carefully, no one dares to make a voice as they waited for the great Lord to break the silence.

"Okay" he make a brief comment then put the map back inside the box and store it inside his spatial ring. Thankfully spatial ring is not very rare at Gui Hong continent so the manager didn't find it weird only he doesn't know that Zhao Li Xin spatial ring also contains the Mystique realm.

"Let's go home…" Zhao Li Xin lazily said he satisfied after he got the map and can't wait to leave this crowded place.

Zhao Li Xin reach for Lory's hand and they leave the room hand in hand, is quite intimate moves even for a married couple but someone like Zhao Li Xin never care wit public opinion, how could you say that you are powerful if you still bound by other people judgment, that is how Zhao Li Xin mind worked. The truth is someone like Zhao Li Xin is only one step from the path of evil, he is cold, apathetic, and indifferent the only thing that holds him is Lory.

When Zhao Li Xin climbs down the stairs his presence intimidates anyone who remains there, his rigid face hides behind the golden mask leaving only his cold dark eyes. A lot of people didn't dare to lift their heads in front of him but few people who have more guts peek a glance at the man. 

Zhao Li Xin steps suddenly slow down, Sanguan Wu Ci stands in front of the door appear nonchalant. They exchange quick glance before they passed at each other. Lory could feel the intensity coming from both men, Lory a needle poke her heart. If Zhao Li Xin father is someone from the Sanguan family it would make him and Sanguan Wu Ci family, Zhao Li Xin had been alone in his entire life he soaked his hand blood in order to survive Lory hope Zhao Li Xin wouldn't have to harm his birth family however the Sanguan family might not give him a choice.

"Miss Luo"

Lory stops abruptly and turns her head around, Sanguan Wu Ci smiles politely "It's nice to meet you again?" he said in an ambiguous way. is he want to tarnish Lory's reputation and put green hat on Zhao Li Xin, Not the chance!

 Everyone knows Lory is Zhao Li Xin reverse scale but no one knows so is Zhao Li Xin for Lory. If only people know how far she would go fro the people she loves.

"Really, the last time I met you I beat your uncle and my friend castrated him, you sure you want to meet me again?" Lory tilted her head and smile sweetly.

Sanguan Wu Ci's smile disappeared instantly, Ming Yue Yin and the other who walk behind Lory struggle holding their laugh. Lory grabs Zhao Li Xin's arm and nods courteously "Have a nice day Master Sanguan" she kindly said before she left.

Sanguan Wu Ci watches Lory and Zhao Li Xin what Lory didn't know is a weird smile bloom on his face.
