Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

The remaining eight items were all very valuable, but none of them could arouse Mu Xue's interest.

Finally, the last item was brought up for auction.

Mu Xue smiled, "We've finally arrived."

Mei Niang's gentle voice rang out: "Finally, the grand finale of this auction has arrived. I'm sure everyone here has already heard the news. This is the first time that Treasure Pavilion has changed its grand finale item at the last minute, just one day before the auction." She paused.

Those below nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is the first time."

"Meiniang, stop keeping us in suspense and bring up the final item for auction!"

"Yes, yes, hurry up!"

......

"Alright, I won't waste any more words. Let's start the auction with our final item, a high-grade fifth-tier Heavenly Spirit Pill!" Mei Niang lifted the red cloth covering the item.

The audience erupted in uproar once again!

Unexpectedly, the Treasure Pavilion has produced a fifth-grade superior Heavenly Spirit Pill this time.

The various families immediately sent messengers back to deliver the message, determined to obtain this fifth-grade pill.

Mo Shijie stood up excitedly. He walked to the window and stared intently at the pills on the platform downstairs, as if he wanted to examine them more closely.

"Brother Mo, it really is a fifth-grade pill!" Mu Jiaojiao exclaimed excitedly.

Even Wang Xin'er, who was still saddened by not getting the Fire Dragon Grass, suddenly looked up.

Everyone was in an uproar!

"My God, did I hear that right? It's actually a fifth-grade pill!"

"As expected of the Treasure Pavilion!"

"In all my years of life, this is the first time I've ever seen a fifth-grade pill!"

"Quickly, go back and report to the patriarch that we must obtain the fifth-grade pill!"

"Meiniang, let's begin!"

"Yes, yes, let's get started!"

......

Cang Lin glanced at it casually, and the white porcelain bottle looked somewhat familiar. "Pfft!" He spat out a mouthful of tea.

Mu Xue shifted her body in disgust: "Uncle, how can you be so filthy!" Her face was full of disgust.

Cang Lin was incoherent, pointing to the auction items downstairs, then to the bottle he had casually placed on the table. He repeated this several times, unable to utter a single complete sentence.

In the end, Mu Xue couldn't bear to see him suffer, and kindly said, "It's all mine."

"You, you little rascal, you're really scary," Cang Lin said, pointing at Mu Xue.

"Uncle, I don't like hearing that. I already gave you the pills, why didn't you open them and look for them yourself? And you're blaming me for scaring you," Mu Xue said indignantly.

"You didn't say you were going to give me high-grade fifth-level pills!" Cang Lin said angrily.

"You didn't ask me either," Mu Xue said matter-of-factly.

"If I didn't ask, wouldn't you have told me on your own?" Cang Lin became angrier the more he thought about it. He carefully picked up the bottle on the table and put it in his pocket.

"Why should I tell you if you don't ask? Wouldn't that be silly?" Mu Xue retorted defiantly.

That irritating tone drove Cang Lin to the brink of madness.

He kept telling himself: Calm down, calm down, this is Shen Wan's child.

I can't fight myself.

No, I really can't resist!

Cang Lin raised his hand and smacked Mu Xue on the back of the head.

He didn't hold back his strength, and the blow made Mu Xue let out a loud "ow".

"Hey uncle, you actually hit me?!" Mu Xue looked at Cang Lin resentfully, rubbing the back of her head.

Hmph, if I can't beat them, I'll just endure it and get angry.

Mu Xue's scream was clearly heard in the private room where Ye Shangyuan was.

His eyes flickered slightly, he pursed his lips, and waved to Leng Quan.

She whispered something in his ear.

Leng Quan nodded, turned around, and walked out.

Soon, Leng Quan returned, accompanied by Zong Hua.

Zong Hua angrily pushed open the door to the private room where Mu Xue was.

"You brat, how dare you hit my granddaughter! I'll beat you to death!" Zong Hua said as he charged towards Cang Lin.

The commotion startled Mu Xue and Cang Lin so much that they both stood up.

"Grandpa Zong, why did you come up here? Are you done with your work?" Mu Xue asked in confusion.

Downstairs, there's still fierce bidding for fifth-grade pills.

"Xiao Xue'er, did he hit you? Watch me avenge you!" Zong Hua had already rushed in front of Cang Lin.

When Cang Lin saw that the person who came was Zong Hua, he hurriedly dodged away. He knew that this was the grandfather that Mu Xue had recognized.

Those whom Mu Xue has chosen are her own people.

"Ouch, old man, you've got a really strong grip!" Cang Lin said while dodging Zong Hua.

"Don't run away, or I'll beat you to death! You dare hit my granddaughter!" Zong Hua said breathlessly.

"Alright, Grandpa Zong, why bother arguing with him?" Mu Xue stopped Zong Hua, turned her back to Cang Lin, and waved her hand at him, indicating that he should leave first.

Cang Linshun understood immediately, and in one swift step, he rushed out and descended to the second floor without looking back.

It wasn't until he returned to Yuesheng Inn that he realized, "Who told Master Zong that I hit Mu Xue?"

He immediately wanted to go back, but after thinking it over, he decided against it.

Don't let him find out who tricked him, or else... humph!

Seeing that Cang Lin had left, Mu Xue breathed a sigh of relief. She helped Zong Hua sit down and asked, "Grandpa Zong, who's so bored that they went out of their way to tell you I got beaten up?"

"Hmph, luckily the kid ran fast. Otherwise, I would have broken his hand!" Zong Hua said angrily, then turned to Mu Xue: "Girl, let Grandpa see where he hit you?"

When he came in, he saw Mu Xue covering the back of her head.

Mu Xue wasn't being coquettish; she reassured her, "It's okay, we were just joking. It's nothing serious."

"Hey, do you even know who he is?" Zonghua asked, still worried.

“He was an old friend of my mother’s. He saved me a month ago, otherwise I would have perished in the Cangmang Mountains,” Mu Xue said calmly, as if she wasn’t the one who was going to die back then.

Upon hearing this, Zong Hua's pupils contracted. He had no idea that it was Cang Lin who had saved Mu Xue, since the Demon Lord of the Demon City had never saved anyone before.

Now, he's starting to believe that he really is an old friend of Mu Xue and Shen Wan.

"Grandpa is telling you, this person is not a good person." Zong Hua hesitated for a long time before finally telling her to stay away from Cang Lin.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Zong, I know what I'm doing. He treats me very well, like an elder taking care of me," Mu Xue said.

“It’s alright, Grandpa will take even better care of you from now on,” Zonghua said earnestly.

Mu Xue smiled happily and said sweetly, "Yes, of course, I am Grandpa Zong's granddaughter!"

The atmosphere here was harmonious and joyful. Upon hearing the commotion, Ye Shangyuan's lips curled into a small smile.

Leng Quan stood to the side, inwardly complaining: Jealous men are terrifying. This is the first time this master has paid so much attention to a woman.

This is the first time he's ever tripped someone up so subtly!

Should we go back and talk to Yoruichi and the others about this?

so tangled.

Ye Shangyuan had no idea that his inner script was so active; even if he did, he would only give a cold snort.

In the end, the Prince Jing's Mansion won one of the two bottles of pills at a bid of ten thousand taels of gold.

The other one was acquired by another major power.

Thus, the Treasure Pavilion Auction came to a successful conclusion.

Some people managed to photograph what they wanted, while others didn't get any photos at all.

However, the topic of conversation among everyone was the sudden appearance of the fifth-tier pill.

Seeing that most people had left, Mu Xue and Zong Hua came out of the private room and ran into Ye Shangyuan.

Mu Xue looked surprised. What was he doing here?
