Lin Xuan noticed that Ji Mingzhu looked like she had something on her mind.
However, since they had only known each other for a short time, it was a big no-no to speak too much too intimately with someone you barely knew, so Linxun didn't ask any further questions.
The Starfall City Auction took place as scheduled a day later.
Almost immediately, Ji Mingzhu couldn't wait to come and find Qu Youmeng and Lin Xuan.
Today, the chubby boy changed into a moon-white outfit.
Such clothes, if worn by others, would make them appear dashing and elegant, but on him, they only make him look like a single, moon-white bucket.
But Ji Mingzhu showed no signs of inferiority.
He said cheerfully, "Brother Lin, and Miss Qu, let's go."
As he spoke, he even showed off his silver membership card.
The auction house in Starfall City is not far away.
The three of them went to the auction house together, Ji Mingzhu couldn't wait to take out the silver card from his pocket.
The maid from Starfall City Auction House maintained her composure, merely smiling slightly, but she took a few steps back, and a maid of even Higher Vehicle took her place.
Upon seeing this, Ji Mingzhu's mouth was practically watering.
He was mindful of the other people around him, so he quickly wiped his drool, but still spoke with shining eyes.
"Brother Lin, look! These maids with silver cards are so beautiful!"
"Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!"
He said it so casually, but the maids at the Starfall City Auction House didn't react at all.
Perhaps it's because I've seen too many similar customers.
Qu Youmeng subtly pursed her lips.
Although the chubby boy meant no harm, his appearance was truly embarrassing.
Fortunately, Ji Mingzhu also knew what was most important.
No, because his lustful appearance caused him to neglect any important matters.
He is a silver card member.
In Starfall City, silver and gold card members each have their own private room.
The private rooms are partially partitioned, allowing a view outside, and people outside can also see inside, but they are located on the second floor, not in the main hall.
Maids also served tea and water, and offered spiritual fruits.
Ji Mingzhu laughed even more heartily.
Before the auction started, his eyes were practically glued to the people inside.
Once the auction began, he lost all interest in such things.
It wasn't because what he wanted was immediately presented, but because the auctioneer appeared.
As soon as the other woman stepped onto the stage, Ji Mingzhu forgot all about the "ordinary women" around him and wished he could make that woman his whole world, watching her with longing eyes.
He not only watched, but also dragged Lin Xuan to watch with him.
"Brother Lin, look!"
"This is the signature beauty of our Starfall City, one of the two most beautiful women in Starfall City. Countless people admire her, hehe."
Following his finger, Lin Xuan looked over.
The woman standing on the auction stage was indeed very beautiful.
She wasn't stunningly beautiful; on the contrary, she was extremely pure, and every smile and frown of hers was alluring, as if she were born with a seductive charm.
The combination of such allure and youth creates an impact that few men could resist.
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow as he listened to Ji Mingzhu's words.
"I wonder how many people there are? You're one of them, aren't you?"
"Hey-hey."
When his words hit the mark, Ji Mingzhu wasn't angry or embarrassed. He just scratched his head, looking cheerful and self-righteous.
"Good to know, good to know. But I'm also aware of my own limitations. I'm not good enough for women like them. They're not only beautiful, but their talents are also beyond my wildest dreams, haha..."
"Perhaps only a young master like Su Hanxing is worthy of her."
How could someone who could become one of the two beauties of Starfall City be merely beautiful?
If she only had beauty, she would have been kidnapped and taken home to be enjoyed by someone long ago.
The reason they can stand openly on stage is naturally because they have powerful backers and the talent to stand there with confidence.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan gently shook his head, unsure whether to approve of such youthful infatuation.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Ha... I wondered who it was, spouting such nonsense here. It's you, Ji Mingzhu. You do have some self-awareness after all."
Ji Mingzhu's expression changed instantly upon hearing that voice.
He raised his hand and pressed a button on a nearby mechanism, and the screen wall on the left immediately lowered.
Coincidentally, the screen wall to the right of the person next to him also lowered.
The two sides met.
Ji Mingzhu's face was extremely ugly.
Ling Qiu! It's you again!
Why can't it be me?
The man in the next private room was slender, but his appearance was unremarkable; one could only say he had regular features. However, the sarcasm and arrogance in his eyes greatly lowered the first impression others had of him.
He didn't even bother to look at Lin Xuan and the others, focusing instead on mocking Ji Mingzhu.
"If someone like you, whose entire Lineage is on the verge of extinction, can attend an auction, why can't I?"
" Ji Mingzhu, Ji Mingzhu, I'm curious, with your Lineage on the verge of death, you still have this much free time? Could it be that you're here for Miss Qiu?"
The so-called Miss Qiu refers to the auctioneer on stage.
Upon hearing this, Ji Mingzhu let out a cold snort.
What does this have to do with you?
At this moment, he also noticed that next to Ling Qiu stood a woman in fiery red clothes, who was looking at them with a critical eye.
While the other woman's appearance was far inferior to that of Miss Qiu on stage, she was still considered a beauty.
However, when she saw Ji Mingzhu, a look of extreme mockery, contempt, and disdain flashed in her eyes.
When Ji Mingzhu saw her, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
There was also visible disbelief and anger.
Ling Qiu, however, saw his gaze and immediately became extremely smug. He raised his hand, pulled the woman into his arms, and while stroking her shoulder, gave Ji Mingzhu a provocative smile.
"How can it not concern me? Even if it has nothing to do with me, your own fiancée is still related to you, right? Oh... I almost forgot, now, she's mine."
The woman beside Ling Qiu was none other than Ji Mingzhu's fiancée.
No.
It should be said that it used to be.
Upon seeing Ji Mingzhu, Fang Ya showed no remorse whatsoever. She merely toyed with her hair and scoffed, " The Ji Household is nothing but a bunch of crumbling monkeys when the tree falls. They're not worth mentioning. Who is his fiancée?"
She initially agreed to marry Ji Mingzhu only because the Ji Household had an Thearch Realm ancestor.
Otherwise, who would even look at that kind of person?
Now, Ji Household's Thearch Realm patriarch is in dire need of protection and could perish at any moment.
She simply turned her hand away and left Ji Mingzhu completely.
Anyway, even if she were willing, her Lineage wouldn't.
Fang Ya sneered, "Why should Young Master Ling bother with him? We cultivators have never seen anyone this fat. He's disgusting! I felt like throwing up just looking at him!"
