The spy on the left pressed his head firmly against the floor, his voice shaking like chaff:
"The clan... the clan leader, you see it really!
When that kid entered Miteer Auction House, the two guards at the door who usually looked at people with their noses bent their waists at ninety degrees when they saw him as if they were their own father!
And... and after he went in, he still hasn't come out!"
"Miteer Auction House..."
Jia Lie Bi I felt my brain throbbing and painful, as if someone was pulling a saw inside.
He originally thought it was just an ignorant boy passing by, or a stupid young man from some small mercenary group.
With his Jia Lie Family strength, even if funds are tight now, it would only take a matter of minutes to kill an outsider.
But now, this matter has changed.
He can make the guards of Miteer Auction House salute him, and he can also spend the night there. What is the identity of this young man?
Could it be that he is the direct young master sent by Imperial Capital Mittel Family?
Or is it the lover of that woman Ya Fei?
Or maybe... the disciple of the mysterious master who refined the magical medicine in legend?
No matter which one, the current Jia Lie Family cannot afford to offend him.
"That traitor! That traitor!"
Jia Lie Bi looked up to the sky and sighed, and fell down on the Taishi chair. The original fierceness disappeared instantly, and the whole person seemed to have aged ten years.
At today's auction, he spent a lot of money to grab Spirit-Nurturing Powder and Yuan-Gathering Pill, which almost wiped out all his money.
This is the time when you are at your weakest.
If that woman Miteer Auction House, Ya Fei is offended at this time, all she has to do is twist her mouth, cut off the supply of Yao Cai to the Jia Lie Family, or turn her head to support Xiao Family, then he Jia Lie Bi will be the eternal sinner of the family!
"Chief, then... what should we do now?"
An elder next to him asked cautiously, his face also turned pale.
"Are our people still watching outside? Do you want to withdraw?"
"Withdraw! Withdraw quickly!"
Jia Lie Bi jumped up suddenly and kicked over the stool next to him.
"You're still staring at a fool! Don't you think you have a long life? What if that... that Little Ancestor finds out and thinks we are going to take action against him, who will take the blame?"
Jia Lie Bi was pacing back and forth in the hall, his eyes that usually calculated others were full of panic at the moment.
Jia Lie Ao's finger is broken? If it's broken, just break it. It can still be connected anyway.
Jia Lie Xiong Is it useless? If it's useless, just let it go. Just keep it.
But the family cannot be finished!
"Quick! Go to the warehouse!"
Jia Lie Bi stopped suddenly, gritted his teeth, and roared with pain on his face,
"Take out the two pieces of Rank Three Magical Beast and Magic Core that you collected a few days ago, as well as the treasured Fourth Rank Yao Cai, and wrap them all for me! Make sure to wrap them beautifully!"
The elder was stunned. "Chief, what are you..."
"Apologise! You idiot!"
Jia Lie Bi is so angry that he wants to kill someone,
"Before we break up, go and apologize!
I have to wipe his ass for whatever trouble the traitor caused!
If this matter is allowed to be used by that woman Ya Fei, we Jia Lie Family will have to be removed from Wutan City tomorrow!"
"Ah? Go now?" The elder looked at the dark sky outside, "Isn't it a little late today..."
"What happened at night? This makes you look sincere!"
Jia Lie Bi took a deep breath and tried to calm down the urge to vomit blood.
He is also a ruthless person who can bend and stretch.
How much is face worth at this time?
Family is the most important.
"Prepare a car! No, what kind of car should you prepare? It's too slow! Just walk!"
Jia Lie Bi waved his hand,
"Also, keep an eye on that traitor! No one is allowed to let him out of the room without my order! If he dares to cause trouble again, I will break his legs with my own hands!"
The night was dark, pouring cold water on Wutan City who had been noisy all day.
It was about nine o'clock in the evening.
Usually at this time, Jia Lie Bi is either settling accounts in the study or listening to music in his concubine's room.
But today, the Jia Lie patriarch, who usually walks with wind, stood alone at the gate of Miteer Auction House.
He did not bring any entourage, did not ride in a carriage, and even carried a gift box in one hand to show his sincerity.
"This little brother."
Jia Lie Bi just put on a smiling face, with caution hidden in the folds, and cupped his hands to the guard standing guard at the door.
"Please let me know, Jia Lie Bi wants to see Miss Ya Fei."
The guard is a young man in his early twenties who has seen the world.
On weekdays, when the Jia Lie clan leader passes by here, his nostrils are turned upward. Even when facing the steward of the auction house, he looks like a great man.
Is the sun coming out in the west today?
Although I muttered in my heart, my professionalism was still there.
The guard did not look down on others like those written in street stall novels, nor did he take the opportunity to ask for benefits. He just straightened his back and saluted politely but distantly:
"Jia Lie Patriarch, wait a minute. Since the auction house is not closed yet, I will go and report it now. However, I can't decide whether Miss Ya Fei will see guests at this time."
"That's nature, that's nature."
Jia Lie Bi nodded repeatedly, and even took half a step back, standing in the shadow under the steps, for fear of blocking other people's way.
Looking at the guard's back as he turned to go in, Jia Lie Bi felt that the early autumn night wind was creeping in along the collar, making it chilly to the bone.
The backyard is brightly lit.
Ya Fei had already changed out of her tight red cheongsam and put on a loose silk nightgown with a thin cashmere shawl wrapped around it.
Her long hair was tied back casually, with a few strands of hair hanging down by her ears, looking a little lazy.
Ya Fei is sitting at the stone table, holding a bunch of purple-red grapes in his hand, peeling them one by one.
Lu Heng was lying on a wicker chair beside him without any image, with a miscellaneous book he got from somewhere in his hand covering his face.
"This Jia Lie Bi is more out of control than I thought."
As soon as the maid finished reporting the situation at the front door, Ya Fei stuffed the peeled grapes into her mouth and said vaguely,
"How many hours has it been? I thought he could survive until tomorrow morning."
Lu Heng took off the book from his face, revealing a pair of clear eyes:
"This shows that he is afraid.
The more the patriarch of such a big family, the more he thinks about it.
In his mind, I might be the young master Mittel Family came out to practice.
The unknown is the scariest thing."
"See you then?"
Ya Fei turned his head and looked at him with a half-smile,
"They come with great gifts."
Lu Heng stretched and yawned:
"Why are we meeting? It's so late, I want to practice, Sister Ya Fei wants to have a beauty treatment, who has time to listen to his confession?"
Lu Heng sat up from the wicker chair, grabbed the wine bottle on the table and poured himself a glass:
"Let him go back. Just say that Miss Ya Fei is tired today and has taken a rest. If you are really sincere, come early tomorrow."
Ya Fei raised his eyebrows:
"Tsk, you're very skilled at using the clothes pole. If you hang him outside tonight, I'm afraid he won't even be able to close his eyes for the rest of the night."
