Chapter 151: Crown Prince To The Rescue
“What a big tone! What thing are you? How dare you point fingers at me?”
Ling Mo stepped out, directly vaulting over the railing, staring straight at Prince Xue Xing.
As soon as he said this, the entire auction house erupted in riot, with everyone thinking Ling Mo had gone mad.
“Oh my god, which family’s kid is this, daring to provoke even Prince Xue Xing?”
“Probably another family’s ignorant prodigal son…”
In an instant, the auction house buzzed with discussion, and everyone felt sorry for Ling Mo.
Provoking this old fellow meant there was basically no chance of walking out alive.
“You two, could you heed my advice? This is the auction house. If you want to cause trouble, take it outside. Private fights are not allowed here…”
At this moment, the auction house’s consul stepped forward. If he didn’t stop it now, something major might happen to the auction house today.
“What thing are you? Is it your place to speak?”
Prince Xue Xing coldly swept his gaze over, not taking the auction house’s consul seriously at all.
The entire auction house was his family’s industry. Who would dare casually block him?
“Your Highness, if you insist on causing trouble, I will have no choice but to go to the Imperial Palace and file a report…”
The consul was no pushover either. He had been in charge of the auction house for many years and had never encountered such a thing, showing his boldness was more than sufficient.
Even facing Prince Xue Xing, he showed not the slightest panic.
“You dare…”
Upon hearing that the consul would report him to the Emperor, Prince Xue Xing’s brows furrowed instantly, revealing strong killing intent.
Clap clap clap…
At this time, a crisp sound of applause came from behind. Everyone was stunned for a moment and looked over, only to see one person slowly walking out from above.
“It’s the Crown Prince…”
Only then did the crowd realize that the person walking down from above was the Heaven Dou Empire’s current Crown Prince, the sole heir to the future throne, Xue Qinghe.
“Imperial Uncle, such great official authority. Your nephew is truly impressed…”
After Xue Qinghe appeared, he first gave Ling Mo a meaningful glance, then teased Prince Xue Xing.
“So it’s Qinghe. What wind blew you here? Didn’t you always dislike places like this?”
Prince Xue Xing, who had been furious, clearly showed some evasion in his eyes the moment he saw Xue Qinghe, that is, Qian Renxue.
Or rather, he didn’t want to have a direct conflict with Xue Qinghe.
Over these years, Qian Renxue had slaughtered quite a few people to secure this Crown Prince position, known for being ruthless and merciless.
Prince Xue Xing had no choice but to fear her.
In the entire Imperial Palace, he might not even fear Snow Night Great Emperor.
The only one he feared was this Crown Prince who hid his abilities.
Not only were his means cruel and ruthless, but he also had a backer from one of the current Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School.
Prince Xue Xing had endured for many years and didn’t want to ruin all those years of scheming due to a moment of impulse.
“Hehe, Uncle is joking! I was just passing by outside earlier and suddenly heard a familiar voice—it was you, Imperial Uncle—so I came specifically to take a look…
I didn’t expect to encounter such an interesting scene. Consider it an unexpected gain…”
Qian Renxue coldly exchanged glances with Prince Xue Xing. After nearly three seconds, Prince Xue Xing backed down.
In terms of ruthlessness, he absolutely couldn’t compare to this current Crown Prince.
For the throne, he could even strike down his own younger brother, let alone this uncle of his.
“Who is he?” Behind Ling Mo, Zhu Zhuqing looked warily at Qian Renxue.
She had just had an illusion that the other party seemed to have given Ling Mo a very ambiguous look.
Girls are naturally sensitive. Though Qian Renxue dodged quickly, she still noticed.
At this moment, she was somewhat depressed. Defending against women was one thing, but how could he not let go of men either?
Was Ling Mo that popular?
“I don’t know. I heard them say he’s some Crown Prince or something…”
Ling Mo certainly didn’t dare admit it, or he might be beaten to death.
“Aiya, don’t overthink it! There’s a good show to watch…”
After soothing Zhu Zhuqing, Ling Mo stepped down from the platform.
After Qian Renxue appeared, the protagonist had changed. Ling Mo had originally wanted to use this opportunity to properly discipline Prince Xue Xing, but he hadn’t expected her to show up here—Ling Mo was truly surprised.
After Qian Renxue appeared, Ling Mo gave up the idea of disciplining Prince Xue Xing. He’d see how she handled it.
“What? Do you want to stand up for this kid?”
Prince Xue Xing was extremely displeased. No matter how much they clashed, you couldn’t help an outsider, right?
“Imperial Uncle misunderstands! I just happened to pass by and have no intention of intervening.
This is the auction house. Do I need to personally tell you the auction house’s rules?”
As Qian Renxue spoke, her expression suddenly changed to one of blank indifference.
Prince Xue Xing panicked upon hearing this! If she caught this handle, he’d be in trouble back at the Imperial Palace.
“Nephew is joking. I was just kidding with this consul. Of course I understand the auction house’s rules…”
No choice, he could only compromise now. Otherwise, if Qian Renxue reported him back, he definitely wouldn’t get away with it.
“As long as Imperial Uncle knows. In that case, your nephew won’t say more. Let the auction continue…”
Qian Renxue said coldly, then walked straight down from above to Ling Mo’s side.
From her appearance, it seemed she wasn’t leaving.
This put Ling Mo in a difficult spot! Fortunately, she appeared as Xue Qinghe. If she had appeared in her true female form, he might have been beaten into a pig’s head by Zhu Zhuqing.
“I didn’t expect you to have this much leisure! Cat Girl? Hehe, you sure know how to play.”
Qian Renxue said meaningfully. She had already tolerated Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, but hadn’t expected Ling Mo to spend a fortune auctioning a slave.
Any discerning person could see she was very unhappy at this moment.
“Hehe, Your Highness is joking! I bought this cat girl only because I pitied her…”
Ling Mo was sweating profusely. Behind him, Zhu Zhuqing glared hostilely at Qian Renxue. She always felt this was a woman because he was just too beautiful.
When a man uses the word “beautiful” to describe someone, no need to think—it’s basically a woman.
But Zhu Zhuqing couldn’t find any evidence or flaw.
“Pitied her? Since when did you start becoming so kind?”
Qian Renxue was somewhat incredulous upon hearing this!
“Do you two know each other?”
At this point, Zhu Zhuqing couldn’t hold back anymore and asked directly.
“Uh…”
Ling Mo didn’t know how to respond. Suddenly, Qian Renxue pulled Ling Mo aside and stood in front of Zhu Zhuqing, scrutinizing her carefully for a good while.
Zhu Zhuqing was truly too beautiful, to the point that even she felt a sense of crisis.
That head of purple hair and eyes shimmering with starlight—at first glance, even Qian Renxue felt a bit moved, let alone a lecher like Ling Mo.
“What a beautiful little beauty! It’s a pity she’s wasted on a jerk like you…”
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and glared at Ling Mo. Even she felt a sense of crisis.
Fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing hadn’t fully matured yet and still had a touch of youthfulness.
“Hehe, what do you call this? It’s fated by heaven, unavoidable…”
Ling Mo smiled awkwardly. How did he run into this guy in this place? She always loved making things difficult for him.
It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to properly discipline her and teach her to respect her husband outside.
“Boring!”
Facing Qian Renxue’s teasing words, Zhu Zhuqing remained unmoved and coldly replied.
What surprised her was that Ling Mo showed no reaction at all.
This made her almost certain that Qian Renxue and Ling Mo definitely had an improper relationship.
But… with so many people here now, she didn’t want to pursue it. Everything could wait until they got back to properly fix him.
