The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

Behind the scenes of the Seven Star Auction House, every customer who completes a transaction will leave through another door.

Su Qingning walked into the backstage under the guidance of the servants. She was greeted by Manager Xie Peng, whom she had met three days ago.

"Young Master Yun, you're here!"

Manager Xie was very friendly towards Su Qingning. He first greeted her, and then counted Su Qingning's expenses and income from tonight's auction.

"Young Master Yun, the thousand-year-old Snow Jade Ginseng you auctioned sold for two million gold coins, the three-thousand-year-old Fire Ganoderma sold for four and a half million gold coins, and the five-thousand-year-old Bodhi Fruit sold for twenty million gold coins. Together, they sold for twenty-six and a half million gold coins."

"According to the agreement, our auction house will take a 5% commission, which is 1,305,000 gold coins. Then, after deducting the 19 million gold coins you spent on the monster egg, you will be left with 5,795,000 gold coins."

After saying that, Manager Xie took out a gold card and handed it to Su Qingning, saying with a gentle smile, "Young Master Yun, all 5,795,000 gold coins have been deposited into this gold card. Please keep it."

"Okay, thank you." Su Qingning took the gold card and put it into the space, then looked up at Manager Xie and asked, "Manager Xie, I wonder if Third Young Master Xie will come to the auction house tonight?"

Hearing Su Qingning's question, Manager Xie was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded and said, "Here he is. The Third Young Master is here tonight. Does Young Master Yun have something to ask the Third Young Master?"

"Yeah." Su Qingning nodded and said, "I have something I want to discuss with Third Young Master Xie."

Before, Su Qingning promised Jiuwei that she would help him buy his mother's fur. Although she did not participate in the auction in the end, she had her own way to get the fox fur from Su Jingya.

However, before that, she had something more important to do, which was to find the person who sent the fox fur coat, get the origin of the fur coat from him, and find out the cause of death of Jiuwei's mother.

This was Kyuubi's obsession. He had left the beast tribe and come to the human world in search of his mother. But now, all he found was his mother's fur!

If a demon beast's fur was stripped off, it must be dead; as her son, Jiuwei naturally wanted to find out the cause of his mother's death and avenge her.

And now, Nine-Tailed Fox is Su Qingning's summoned beast. As its master and partner, she must of course help Nine-Tailed Fox take revenge.

Su Qingning had already thought about it. If she wanted to know who sent the fox fur for auction, the best way was to start from the Seven Star Auction House, and the first person she thought of was Young Master Xie Yichen.

Sure enough, this friend was right and is now useful.

The servant brought Su Qingning to the outside of the No. 1 private room. He raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.

"Button button button..."

There was a rhythmic knock on the door. Several people in the room raised their heads at the same time, with puzzled expressions. Xie Yichen said slowly, "Come in."

As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open from the outside. The servant stood at the door, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Third Young Master, Young Master Yun wants to see you."

Hearing the servant's words, Xie Yichen, who was originally leaning on the couch, immediately sat up, feeling a little guilty.

No way? Did she find out I cheated her?

"Ahem..." Xie Yichen coughed twice, suppressing his guilty conscience and pretending to be calm, "Oh~ Aning wants to see me, bring her here quickly."

"Yes." The attendant responded respectfully, then stepped aside and extended his hand to Su Qingning in an invitation. "Young Master Yun, please come in. The Third Young Master is inside."

"Thank you." Su Qingning nodded politely to the waiter, then walked past him into the No. 1 private room.

After Su Qingning walked into the room, the servant came forward to help them close the door, and then quietly retreated.

In the room, three pairs of curious eyes looked at Su Qingning at the same time.

Su Qingning wasn't too surprised to see someone else in the room besides Xie Yichen. She knew Xie Yichen wasn't the only one inside when the attendant brought her to the door of the Tianzi No. 1 private room.

After all, it was the person in the No. 1 private room who had just snatched the Warcraft egg from her, and that person's voice was different from Xie Yichen's. It was obvious that they were two different people.

Thinking of this, Su Qingning couldn't help but have a guess in her mind. When bidding for the Warcraft egg just now, could it be that Xie Yichen deliberately asked someone to raise the price with her?

Su Qingning glanced at everyone in the room with suspicion. When she saw someone sitting aside with his eyes closed, her eyes froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

"Young Master Xie." Su Qingning called out lightly, looking at Xie Yichen with eyes full of inquiry and suspicion.

Xie Yichen knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to look Su Qingning in the eye. He glanced up guiltily and asked with an awkward smile, "Haha, Aning, why are you here? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Speaking of business, Su Qingning temporarily suppressed her doubts. She nodded and said straight to the point, "Well, I have something I'd like to ask Third Master Xie for help."

"Oh, why call me Third Young Master Xie? That's too formal. Aning, you can just call me Third Brother." Xie Yichen first corrected Su Qingning's address, then patted his chest and said, "Aning, tell me if there's anything you need Third Brother's help with. Third Brother will definitely help you."

Hearing what Xie Yichen said, Yang Youli and the other two rolled their eyes in their hearts at the same time. Tsk, this guy is so shameless, he actually took advantage of other people's children.

Su Qingning didn't care about this, but it was not easy to be the third brother.

"It's not wrong to call you Third Brother."

Su Qingning looked at Xie Yichen from head to toe with a calm gaze, like a businessman estimating the value of an item.

Then, everyone in the room heard her calm voice slowly rang out, "If you want to be my brother, then you must have certain values. First, an older brother cannot deceive or bully his younger brother. Second, if his younger brother needs help, the older brother should help without hesitation. Finally, I do not tolerate betrayal."

"Can you do it?" Su Qingning looked at Xie Yichen steadily and said word for word with certainty: "Of course, if you can do it, I can do it too."

Hearing Su Qingning's words, everyone in the room couldn't help but look surprised, even Mo Lintian, who had his eyes closed to rest, opened his eyes.

Mo Lintian looked at Su Qingning. Although the face was unfamiliar, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the other person's eyes were a little familiar, as if they looked a bit like a little girl.

Su Qingning was still looking at Xie Yichen, waiting for his answer, and Xie Yichen understood from her firm eyes that every word she had just said was serious.
