Bai Xi looked at Han Mo, her eyes slightly stunned. "You mean the Hall Master of the Kui Hall studied medicine under the City Lord of Qingyu City?"
Han Mo said indifferently, "You could say that."
Bai Xi frowned. "Then the Hall Master of the Kui Hall has wicked intentions. Why would the City Lord of Qingyu City take someone like him as a disciple!"
If that City Lord of Qingyu City hadn't taught the Hall Master of the Kui Hall the skills of using medicine and poison, how could he have harmed so many people?
Han Mo: "If he knew, he would surely regret it..."
Although he was unwilling to take disciples, he never specifically stopped or concealed anyone who secretly learned from him.
This also led to the birth of the Hall Master of the Kui Hall.
He wasn't someone who cared about the world. When Bai Xi died three hundred years ago, the world he once had died with her.
So, when the Kui Hall caused trouble, he wasn't completely unaware, but as long as they didn't provoke anyone within Qingyu City, he was too lazy to interfere.
But now... he had provoked Xi'er, whom he had finally found again.
Therefore, he naturally wouldn't stand by.
This world, because of her, had become exceptionally precious.
Just then, in the banquet hall, the lights suddenly dimmed, and spotlights flared to life, casting all the light onto the stage.
Standing on the high platform was none other than Chu Xiao.
Chu Xiao walked onto the stage with a wireless microphone. "Thank you all for attending this auction hosted by the Chu family today. All proceeds from today's auction, after taxes, will be donated by the Chu family to patients suffering from depression who have been traumatized and affected by this medical damage..."
As he finished speaking, a wave of applause erupted from the audience.
Seeing this, Han Rui immediately leaned his head closer, his phoenix-like eyes naturally filled with affection, a hint of coyness, and a charming allure. He whispered to Bai Xi, "Eldest Miss, as the God of War of the Dark Department, you must be quite wealthy. If there's an auction item I like later, will you bid for me?"
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow and gently pushed his head away, maintaining a safe distance. "Flattery doesn't work on me."
Han Rui's face was pushed by a hand, and he could only retreat, raising an eyebrow slightly. "It's not that flattery doesn't work, it's that you don't like my type. I don't believe that if Dr. Han likes something later, you won't buy it for him?"
Bai Xi paused for a moment, then looked at Han Mo. "If you like anything, just tell me, and I'll buy it for you."
Han Mo nodded and smiled faintly, "Mm."
Seeing this scene, Han Rui felt like he'd been struck by lightning. "Showing affection, dying fast, don't you know that? Can't you restrain yourselves?"
Unfortunately, Han Mo and Bai Xi chose to selectively "go deaf" to her words, pretending not to hear.
Seeing this, Han Rui could only give up.
Xuan Feng, sitting on the other side, said calmly, "If there's anything you want, just bid for it. I can pay for you."
Han Rui was slightly startled and looked at him in confusion. "That wouldn't be good, would it?"
Xuan Feng didn't look at Han Rui, but said indifferently, "I'm alone, and I can't spend all this money. If I die on a mission one day, the money will still be returned to the Dark Department."
Upon hearing this, Han Rui immediately exclaimed, "Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about? You're fine, why would you die? Look at you, you accompanied me into the tomb and saw so many strange things and you were fine, so you definitely won't die."
As if that wasn't enough, he added, "Look, your eyes are good, your ears are good, your sense of smell is very keen... your five senses are so good, you must be extraordinary, and your lifespan is longer than ordinary people! Plus, your stamina is so good, in the future, when you get married and have a family, three children in two years, your children and your wife can inherit your money!"
Xuan Feng finally turned his head and looked at Han Rui, saying faintly, "I don't want to get married, and I don't want children."
The scene of his parents' tragic death replayed in his mind countless times during his midnight dreams.
The feeling of family didn't bring him warmth, but a bloody childhood.
Han Rui frowned, looking at his somber and dim eagle eyes. After a long moment, he reached out and placed a hand on his broad shoulder.
"Alright, alright, we don't want them, we don't want them, but we still have to cherish our lives, right? I'm telling you, your Eldest Miss has arranged for you in Shangyang, so there probably won't be any particularly dangerous missions. I'm very familiar with Shangyang, and I'll take you out to have fun later!"
Xuan Feng looked at Han Rui, who was very close to him, and said faintly, "Oh? Then you should bid for anything you like later."
Han Rui was slightly taken aback, then his phoenix eyes curved into a smile. "Heh heh, a master's fee, you're on the right track!"
From a distance on the stage, Chu Xiao raised his hand slightly, and two people appeared.
One was a middle-aged man in a suit, wearing a monocle, holding a small hammer.
The other was a beautiful young woman in a qipao with a graceful figure, holding a box.
Chu Xiao nodded slightly, gestured for them to begin the auction, and then walked off the stage, heading to the Chu family's exclusive seating area to sit beside his sister, Chu Meng.
The young woman gently placed the box on the display stand, and the middle-aged man with the monocle put on white gloves beside the display stand, opened the box, and inside was a pair of beautiful high-heeled shoes.
The middle-aged man with the monocle picked up one of the high-heeled shoes for display. "As everyone knows, the first auction item at an auction is always a good starter. And these crystal shoes adorned with all diamonds are the first auction item today."
After speaking, he placed the pair of shoes on a large red velvet cushion and slowly walked forward a few steps, holding the velvet cushion with both hands, as if to ensure everyone present could see clearly.
"As you can all see, these diamond crystal shoes are undoubtedly an unprecedented high-end custom piece. Designed by a famous artist, the entire pair of shoes is inlaid with five hundred and twenty natural diamonds, each weighing around thirty carats. Their color, clarity, and cut are impeccable. Each one comes with relevant appraisal certificates. There are also many small diamonds around them, like stars surrounding the moon.
These shoes are elegant and dazzling. Every woman dreams of becoming a princess wearing crystal shoes. Then, what they would like even more than crystal shoes are these crystal diamond shoes... The starting bid is ten million. Each guest has a different bidding paddle with different prices written on it. Raising the corresponding paddle signifies a default price increase. Bidding starts now!"
Generally speaking, the first item displayed at an auction is always a good one.
Just like these beautiful diamond high-heeled shoes.
For such dazzling items, they naturally attracted the attention of most women present.
