The man looked at Ruan Xihe and the alpaca from behind with a taboo look on his face. He didn't dare to speak until they disappeared around the corner of the street.

"Don't you know what happened some time ago? Let me tell you in detail..."

Because the news was so explosive, within a short while, everyone in the streets and alleys was talking about Ruan Xihe's identity and speculating whether she was a beast tamer.

At the entrance of Cangyu Auction.

A young girl was tied to a cross stake, and at her feet, another woman was kneeling beside her with her hands and feet tied.

"I didn't realize that the young lady from the Ximen family is actually this kind of person."

"That's right. She actually owed the Cangyu Auction the spirit stones. I think she doesn't want to continue in Zishang Country."

"But... you said... this Cangyu Auction said that an assassin attacked them last night. Could it be that the person who attacked them is Miss Ximen?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right? It's fine if she can't come up with the money, but why would she attack the Cangyu Auction? Isn't this dragging the Ximen family down with her?"

"..."

Many people gathered together, pointing and talking at the girl on the cross.

"Hiss~" Several silver-white Pegasus suddenly appeared in the sky, their wings glowing with golden light, and they flew towards the Cangyu Auction House neighing.

Not long after, they flew out again.

But this time, it was obvious that there was an extremely luxurious carriage behind the Pegasus. They pulled the carriage, flew into the sky, and disappeared in front of everyone.

"Oh my god, is that Pegasus?"

"If a Pegasus can pull a cart, then the people sitting in the cart must be..."

"What a beautiful horse..."

"..."

Everyone raised their heads high, looking at the Pegasus galloping through the air with envy.

"clang--"

A man who looked like a servant walked out of the auction door and struck the gong and drum in his hand heavily.

"Ms. Ximen, you won the auction item but you couldn't come up with the corresponding spiritual stones, which caused my Cangyu Auction to lose business, so I hang her here to serve as a warning to others."

"We will only release them when the Ximen family comes up with the corresponding amount of spirit stones and compensation. Otherwise, Miss Ximen will have to endure the injustice!"

Ximen Shuying on the cross slowly opened her eyes.

The auction ended yesterday, and at the closing banquet, Cangyu Auction House handed the talisman to her.

But she waited a long time for the maid to bring the spirit stones, so she couldn't come up with so much money.

Even though she had told Cangyu Auction that she was a daughter of the Ximen family and would not owe them any money, they still locked her up in a cell at night and tied her to the cross during the day, embarrassing her in front of everyone.

Now she only hoped that her family would quickly hand over the spirit stones to Cangyu Auction House so that they could take her down from the cross.

But the only thing she couldn't understand was why, after so much time had passed, no one from her family came to redeem her with spirit stones?

And her maid, so much time has passed, has the message been passed back home?

"clang--"

Xiao Si struck the gong and drum again. He looked at everyone with a serious face and then spoke slowly.

"Our young master was drugged yesterday. Although the murderer escaped, the accomplice who provided the murderer with the props has been confirmed to be a Zishang nationality!

So if you have any clues, feel free to report them to us. If it is verified to be useful information, we will directly reward you with 10 million low-grade spirit stones, and we will reserve a place on the second floor of Cangyu Auction House for you for life!"

"What? The young master of Cangyu Auction was drugged?"

"It is said that the Cang Yu Auction is very powerful, with many branches in every country. So why would the young master of the Cang Yu Auction come to a small branch of ours?"

"Could it be that those celestial horses that just flew in the sky are here to pick up the young master of the Cangyu Auction? This is too luxurious."

"What a pity! He is the young master of Cangyu Auction! We have never met him. Maybe we will never have the chance to meet him again in this life..."

"Why are you all focusing on the young master? Shouldn't you be focusing on the person who drugged me? If you provide any clues, you will get 10 million low-grade spirit stones! You won't have to work hard anymore in this life!"

"..."

After hearing what the servant said, Ruan Xihe couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Judging from the servant's tone, Gu Yueyue might not succeed.

Of course, she discovered last night that the blond boy had sent people to follow her, and Gu Yueyue also had no good intentions towards her.

Then she might as well let them fight each other and she would benefit from it.

It was obvious that Gu Yueyue came here for her handsomeness, and the blond boy had no good intentions in sending people to follow her, so she directly exposed Gu Yueyue's concealment and told her that there was a blond boy at Cangyu Auction who was stunningly good-looking.

She was afraid that Gu Yueyue would not be able to find the blond boy, so she told Gu Yueyue how to get there and how to avoid people...

Finally, he gave Gu Yueyue a flower. After burning an incense stick, the flower would automatically emit an odorless smell that made people feel hot and uncomfortable.

But that flower is not that kind of medicine, it just has those characteristics that make people who inhale the flower's scent mistakenly think they have been drugged.

She also didn't think that Gu Yueyue would succeed. After all, the young man was respectfully called the Young Master by the people at the auction, and his identity must be extraordinary, so it would not be easy for her to succeed.

However, she didn't expect that Ximen Shuying's maid hasn't woken up yet.

Yesterday she guessed that Ximen Shuying might not have enough money and would send someone back to get it, so she asked Wuqing to guard their room early in the morning.

When Ximen Shuying's maid was about to return home to report the news, Wuqing knocked her unconscious and threw her into a desolate, dilapidated house in the city.

"Take me to Ximen Mansion, and I will personally get the spirit stones for you." Ximen Shuying said to the servant beside her.

"We have an order from above. When the Ximen family brings the spiritual stones, we will release them!"

"Then could you at least send someone to help me pass the message to Ximen Mansion?" Ximen Shuying pleaded.

"We have received an order from above. Miss Ximen did not abide by the rules of our Cangyu Auction, so we will definitely not help you pass the message. Let's see when someone from your Ximen Mansion will come to redeem you! If no one comes to redeem you by today, then we will have no choice but to get rid of you," the servant was unmoved.

"What about me? I'm not from the Ximen family, and I don't owe you any spirit stones. You should let me go, right?"

Qin Mengdie was tied up at Ximen Shuying's feet, and she opened her mouth to argue eagerly.

"Qin Mengdie, you want to cut off your relationship with me now?" Ximen Shuying turned her head and glared at Qin Mengdie, gritting her teeth. "What did you say when you asked me to take you to the auction?"
