"By the way, why did you come back to the capital? The Wutan City Auction House must need you right now."
Hun Changqing said while his hands were moving restlessly around
Ya Fei. Ya Fei let out a soft gasp and then said,
"It's normal that you don't know because you weren't in Wutan City. I came back to the capital to visit relatives a while ago. Just as I was about to return to Wutan City, news came from Wutan City that the auction house had been destroyed by an unknown powerhouse. It's very likely that it was a powerhouse above the Dou Wang level. The auction house was destroyed, so I stayed here... Hmm... Ah~ Be gentle! You're hurting me!"
Ya Fei pouted and scolded in dissatisfaction.
When Hun Changqing heard that the auction house in Wutan City had been destroyed, his brows furrowed slightly, and the pressure on his fingers unconsciously increased as he thought to himself,
"How could the auction house in Wutan City be suddenly destroyed? A Dou Wang? In that godforsaken place of Wutan City, there's only one Dou Wang or higher—Ling Ying. Could it be that Gu Xun'er ordered Ling Ying to destroy that auction house? What's wrong with her now?"
Hun Changqing was completely baffled. Gu Xun'er had first gone so far as to tear off all pretenses, disregarding Xiao Yan's safety to at least consider her own reputation.
And now, she had inexplicably gone and destroyed the auction house in Wutan City. He couldn't understand a single thing Gu Xun'er had done; he had absolutely no idea what the point of all this was.
Sensing that Gu Xun'er was starting to slip out of his control, Hun Changqing was a bit overwhelmed and couldn't help but sigh.
"Sigh, I'm definitely not suited to be a leader. I can't fathom what Gu Xun'er is thinking at all. Her thinking is just too unpredictable!
And she has this audacity to break ties with me from who knows where. Isn't she afraid Xiao Yan is really dead? Sure enough, after the simple and brutal kidnapping and threat plan succeeded, a whole bunch of uncontrollable problems followed.
Sigh, forget it, I should stay away from her from now on. We have enough resources for now. I can't have any more contact with her. Who knows what kind of trouble might arise if we continue to have contact? Maybe things will really go wrong!"
"Ugh~"
Hun Changqing grew increasingly agitated and his head ached more and more. After a moment, he rolled over and, with a soft cry, began a new journey to alleviate his irritation.
...
It was indeed Gu Xun'er who destroyed the auction house in Wutan City. Not long after Hun Changqing left, Gu Xun'er realized he had departed Wutan City. She
immediately grabbed her knife, summoned Ling Ying, and headed straight for the auction house, intending to kill Ya Fei, that voluptuous vixen who dared to approach Hun Changqing.
However, by sheer coincidence, Ya Fei had returned to the capital to visit relatives and escaped the attack. Enraged, Gu Xun'er ordered Ling Ying to destroy the auction house in Wutan City.
It was completely destroyed; the entire auction house was reduced to a crater tens of meters deep, leaving not a trace of the auction house.
...
The next day, inside the hotel.
"I don't want to go! We haven't seen each other in so long! I'll take a few days off to spend time with you. This must be your first time in the capital, right? I'll show you around!"
At this moment, Ya Fei was clinging to Hun Changqing's hand, acting coquettishly. Because there were many items at this auction, it would last for three days. Hun Changqing tried to persuade Ya Fei to host the auction, but Ya Fei looked reluctant and wanted to stick to Hun Changqing.
"Stop fooling around. Your work is important. I know this auction is crucial to your future. I can't let you lose this opportunity because of me. 'If two hearts are truly in love, what does it matter if they are together every day?' You know? Besides, I also want to see that commanding presence you had at the auction in Wutan City again."
Hun Changqing certainly didn't want Ya Fei to follow him around. How could he enjoy himself in the capital if she was always with him? So he directly quoted a famous saying from his past life, a phrase that was very effective at appeasing women.
After hearing Hun Changqing's words, Ya Fei's heart was instantly filled with sweetness and emotion. Her face flushed crimson, her body felt like it was on fire, and she kept repeating the phrase.
"If love between two people is meant to last, why should it be limited to the fleeting moments of morning and evening?"
Unable to suppress the emotions welling up within her, Ya Fei pulled Hun Changqing, who was dressing beside her, close and kissed him deeply.
"Alright, I'll do as you say. I'll go to the auction, but I'll go later. It's okay if I'm a little late…" "It's been a whole night already, aren't you afraid you won't be in good shape at the auction later?"
"I don't care!"
"Tsk, you vixen!"
"Ah~"
...
At noon, Hun Changqing finally succeeded in satisfying Ya Fei and reluctantly saw her off from the hotel.
Sitting on the large bed in the room, filled with the scent of hormones and Ya Fei, Hun Changqing rubbed his temples.
He was now a little unsure what to do with Ya Fei. Originally, after meeting Ya Fei this time, Hun Changqing planned to officially break up with her.
But seeing Ya Fei's appearance yesterday, for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to say the words he had said countless times before.
Hun Changqing was indeed very comfortable with Ya Fei, both psychologically and physically, and Ya Fei was now deeply in love with him, which made Hun Changqing feel a pang of reluctance.
However, without breaking up, Ya Fei's cultivation talent is truly lacking. A mountain of resources would likely yield no results, making it impossible for Hun Changqing to keep her by his side.
"Sigh, let's take it one step at a time. Let Ya Fei continue staying in the capital for now, let nature take its course. This is the most suitable place for her. Later, when she's strong enough, we'll bring her to our side."
No longer wanting to think about these troubling matters, Hun Changqing dressed, left the hotel, sensed Hai Bodong's location, a black light flashed from his body, and he disappeared at the hotel entrance.
Meanwhile, in the Mittel family meeting room...
"Tengshan, are you saying that Yafei is a direct descendant of the family?"
Hai Bodong, sitting in the conference hall, looked at the white-haired, strong-featured, and burly old man in front of him, Mittel Tengshan, the patriarch of the Mittel family, with a complicated expression.
"Yes, brother, what's wrong? And where have you been all these years? Who was that black-robed man who came with you yesterday? Taking Yafei away in public, you have no idea what a commotion it caused yesterday. That brat from the Mu family even came to our house to cause trouble today."
Mittel Tengshan first asked Hai Bodong about his whereabouts over the years with concern, and then strongly expressed his dissatisfaction with the person who accompanied Hai Bodong yesterday.
Hai Bodong took a deep breath and said,
"Don't worry about those things for now. Don't concern yourself with that black-robed man either. He's not someone the Mittel family can afford to offend. His strength is unfathomable; I only know he's at least a Dou Zong level expert."
Mittel Tengshan was shocked upon hearing this, then exclaimed,
"What? Dou Zong?! Then brother, you…"
"Who!"
Before Mittel Tengshan could finish speaking, he instantly sensed an unusual aura in the hall and turned around, shouting loudly.
