Quick Wear Dream Qiqi
Chapter 148 Little Pearl Diver 12
"Tell me! What do you want to do by sending Xixi away?" Meng Qiqi said to Mo Yu with a look of disgust.
Mo Yu's eyes flickered. He didn't dare to look directly into Meng Qiqi's eyes, and his hands fiddled with the corner of his clothes unnaturally.
Then, he cleared his throat and said shamelessly, "Well... I think Lin Xixi's presence here is a bit of a downer, don't you think?"
After hearing what he said, Meng Qiqi rolled her eyes speechlessly and thought: This guy is really direct.
"I don't think so." Meng Qiqi replied indifferently.
Seeing this, Mo Yu quickly added, "I just want to be alone with you for a while and chat."
As he spoke, he moved closer to Meng Qiqi with a flattering smile.
Meng Qiqi took a step back and looked at him warily: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't get so close."
Mo Yu scratched his head and chuckled, "Actually, there's nothing special. I just wanted to ask you, are you free tonight? I heard there's an auction in the evening."
A barely perceptible expectation flashed across Meng Qiqi's eyes, but was then covered by hesitation.
She secretly glanced at Mo Yu and muttered to herself: It seems interesting to participate in the auction, but the people who participate in the auction are all powerful. Will it be dangerous?
Mo Yu took in all the changes in Meng Qiqi's expression. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he whispered, "There are many rare treasures at this auction. It would be a shame to miss them. Besides, I can protect you."
His tone was firm and convincing.
Meng Qiqi bit her lip, feeling conflicted.
On the one hand, she was indeed curious about the auction in Cheongju, but on the other hand, she was worried that she would accidentally get into trouble.
"So? Are you going or not?" Mo Yu deliberately provoked her: "Are you scared? Are you afraid to see the real treasure?"
Meng Qiqi hated being provoked the most. She immediately glared at Mo Yu and said, "Who's scared? Go ahead!"
Mo Yu was secretly delighted, but on the surface he remained calm: "Then it's settled. We'll go to the auction together tonight."
Then, feeling guilty, he turned his head and looked at the lake.
At this time, Meng Qiqi also reacted and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. How could she fall for his provocation so easily?
However, she was full of anticipation for the treasures at tonight's auction.
"Hmph, you did it on purpose!" Meng Qiqi raised her chin and looked at Mo Yu with a reproachful look.
Mo Yu blinked and said innocently, "How did I do that on purpose? I just wanted you to go to the auction with me."
"Then why do you use provocation?" Meng Qiqi refused to give in.
"Oh, isn't it because I know you're most curious about those treasures?" Mo Yu smiled and took Meng Qiqi's hand: "Come on, let's go, let's go eat something first, and then prepare for the auction tonight."
Meng Qiqi was dragged away by him, still muttering softly: "You obviously did it on purpose..."
Mo Yu looked back at her and smiled, "Okay, okay, I did it on purpose, okay? But I also did it so that I could stay with you for a while longer."
After hearing this, Meng Qiqi's cheeks flushed slightly. She quickened her pace to catch up with Mo Yu, and their figures gradually walked away.

At this moment, Lin Xixi and General Lu were standing on a wide grassland.
In the sunshine, the grass is green and dotted with wild flowers.
The two swords crossed in the air, splashing a string of sparks.
General Lu's figure was as fast as lightning, making it impossible to see clearly.
In response to Lin Xixi's attack, he cleverly avoided Lin Xixi's attack with a wonderful backflip, then put a sword on Lin Xixi's neck and won the victory.
Lu Chen's eyes also revealed confidence and unyielding pride.
"Ms. Lin, you lost." Lu Chen said simply and clearly.
Lin Xixi gritted her teeth unwillingly, she knew that her swordsmanship still had a lot of room for improvement.
It seems that I have to train harder in the future, she made up her mind.
"I will definitely win it back!" Lin Xixi clenched her fists and looked at President Lu with a firm gaze.
"I look forward to your progress." Lu Chen smiled and nodded. He admired Lin Xixi's fighting spirit.
Then, Lin Xixi turned and left the grass. She decided to work harder when she returned, especially to ask Meng Qiqi for advice on swordsmanship.
She believed that as long as she persisted, she would be able to defeat General Lu one day.
Lu Chen followed Lin Xixi, and when they returned to the lake together, Meng Qiqi and Mo Yu had already left.
Lin Xixi also realized what was happening at this point. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but complain to General Lu, "Your master is so scheming. He actually tricked Meng Qiqi away. I think he did it on purpose. He just wanted to get rid of me!"
Lu listened silently, his expression looking somewhat helpless.
Of course he knew that his master liked Meng Qiqi, but he could do nothing about matters of the heart.
"Maybe my young master is not what you think. Maybe he really has a good impression of Meng Qiqi." Lu Chen tried to persuade him.
"Hmph! I don't believe it! He is your master, you must be speaking for him." Lin Xixi was still indignant.
Seeing this, Lu Chen had no choice but to shake his head and decided to change the subject to avoid further arguments: "Okay, don't think about this anymore. Let's hurry to the auction site. Maybe your good sister is there."
Although Lin Xixi was still dissatisfied, she knew that now was not the time to dwell on these things.
She composed herself and followed Consul General Lu to the auction.
----
Mo Yu brought Meng Qiqi to the private room of the auction. At the auction site, the atmosphere in the gallery became tense and solemn.
The auctioneer passionately introduced each work on the stage, and the buyers below listened attentively and competed to raise their paddles to bid.
In the private room, Meng Qiqi listened speechlessly as the auctioneer introduced one so-called rare treasure after another. She felt that these people were simply exaggerating.
However, when she saw a gem called "Tears of the Stars", a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"This gem actually has such a beautiful glow..." Meng Qiqi said softly.
Mo Yu saw her expression and smiled slightly: "Qiqi, are you interested in this item?"
Meng Qiqi shook her head: "I just think it's beautiful. But this kind of thing is of no use to me."
Mo Yu smiled and said nothing more.
He felt that there was something special about Meng Qiqi, and he didn't find it strange that she didn't care about ordinary treasures.
As time passed, the auction drew to a close. As the final lot came on the market, the room fell silent...
When the auctioneer announced that the last treasure was the Mermaid Pearl, Meng Qiqi's face showed shock.
She stared with wide eyes at the mermaid beads displayed on the stage in disbelief.
Mermaids live in the deep sea and are extremely rare, and mermaid pearls are rare treasures.
Meng Qiqi was well aware of the preciousness and mystery of the mermaid pearls. She had stayed in Qingzhou for several months and had often heard many legends about the mermaid pearls, but she had never thought that the mermaid pearls would exist in Qingzhou.
Her heart beat faster and her eyes were fixed on the mermaid pearl.
Mo Yu noticed Meng Qiqi's reaction and asked softly, "What's wrong, Qiqi? Do you have any special feelings about this mermaid pearl?"
Meng Qiqi came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.
She shook her head, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "No...it's okay, I just think this mermaid pearl is very rare."
However, she couldn't calm down in her heart, because she knew that the power and meaning contained in the Mermaid Pearl far exceeded what met the eye.
