Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

The hall was bustling with activity, with many people sitting there, each with their own thoughts.

Some people are rolling in money and are just there to show their support;

Some people were dressed simply, probably just wanting to witness this rare spectacle;

Of course, some people are also eagerly anticipating and secretly speculating about who will ultimately acquire that top-quality thousand-year-old dragon bone.

But the vast majority of men here came for Wu Zetian.

"My lords, this humble servant, Meiniang, greets all distinguished guests." Meiniang's sweet voice carried a captivating charm that could melt anyone's bones.

She covered her mouth and smiled, exuding charm, "Please wait patiently, distinguished guests, the auction is about to begin."

Inside the private room, Shen Yunxi took a sip of tea, savoring the aroma as it lingered on her lips and teeth. It was as if the commotion in the main hall had nothing to do with her. Instead, she was thinking about what items would appear at today's auction and whether her spirit stones would be enough to pay for what she needed.

Di Xuanshang sipped his tea leisurely, his expression indifferent, seemingly uninterested in everything around him.

He took out a token and said to Shen Yunxi, "Today, you can bid on anything you want as long as you have this token!"

Shen Yunxi was stunned, her heart skipping a beat for no apparent reason. Di Xuanshang's nonchalant and extravagant manner was exactly like the scenes in those storybooks where wealthy landlords doted on their concubines: Buy whatever you want, I have plenty of money!

Inside the room, there was a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere. The two little ones, Xue Rong and Lan Yu, seemed oblivious to the ambiguity, as they flew out of the soul imprint and happily ate around a plate of pastries, occasionally letting out satisfied hums.

"Master, there's the scent of a nine-tailed fox here," Xue Rong said indistinctly.

Shen Yunxi raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Bai Ruoan is here too?"

At this moment, Bai Ruoan was following closely behind Elder Xuanqing. This was the first time they had appeared together in public since Elder Xuanqing announced that Bai Ruoan was his nephew.

Bai Ruoan was dressed in a blue robe today, which made him look even more refined and otherworldly. Almost at the same time that Elder Xuanqing stepped into the venue, the representatives of various families noticed his arrival and the elegant figure behind him—Bai Ruoan.

They exchanged glances silently, trying to decipher the deeper meaning behind Elder Xuanqing's actions.

One of them whispered, "Tsk tsk tsk, I really didn't expect that the notorious good-for-nothing of the Bai family is actually Elder Xuanqing's nephew!"

"That's right! When the Bai family spread the news that Bai Ruoan was Elder Xuanqing's nephew, I thought it was just a rumor. Who would believe it! Bai Ruoan is a notorious good-for-nothing with weak spiritual power. He can't even beat a disciple from a third-rate family. How could he possibly be Elder Xuanqing's nephew?"

"Why didn't Elder Xuanqing do anything about him before? He just let him be bullied by the other members of the Bai family. That's really strange."

"Who knows? How could we little people like us possibly understand the internal affairs of these big families? There might be some hidden story!"

"Perhaps Elder Xuanqing was completely unaware of Bai Ruoan's existence? Or perhaps he deliberately let him go, wanting to train him?"

"Come on, how could Bai Ruoan, a piece of trash with no spiritual roots, possibly have trained? I bet Elder Xuanqing only recently discovered this nephew, then had a change of heart and decided to give him a helping hand."

"That's possible. But in any case, Bai Ruoan has now climbed a high branch, and her status in the Bai family will be very different in the future."

"Wow, what incredible luck! I wish I had such a powerful uncle."

"Alright, alright, stop dreaming and focus on the auction!"

As Elder Xuanqing listened to the discussions of these people, the smile on his face turned slightly serious.

"Uncle, let them talk. There's no need for you to get angry." Bai Ruoan didn't care at all. Over the years, hadn't he heard enough talk and ridicule about him?
