Chapter 125: Chapter 125

When Zhang Lingyu walked into the restaurant, she saw Xu Muan and Xiao Xiaodong having a meal, but Xiao Jingting was nowhere to be seen.

“Muan, why are you here alone?! Where is third Young Master Xiao?” Could it be that Xiao Jingting left without taking Xu Muan?

“Jingting took Xiaofan out to play. I slept a bit so Jingting didn’t want to disturb me and didn’t ask me to go out with him.” Xu Muan smiled.

“So that’s it.” Zhang Lingyu secretly guessed that Xiao Jingting had left Xu Muan behind to have fun alone. Then she smoothed it up by saying, “Muan, what are your plans today?”

Xu Muan looked at Zhang Lingyu and said, “I’m going to the Tianchen Auction House later.”

Zhang Lingyu asked, “What are you going to the auction house for? Do you want to buy something? The things in Tianchen Auction House aren’t cheap.”

Xu Muan shook his head and said, “No, if there is something suitable, we can buy it. Didn’t you say that if you want to take part in the auction you need to deposit 100,000 taels of silver in advance at the auction house? I need to deposit the money.”

Zhang Lingyu choked and said, “You have that much silver?”

Xu Muan laughed and said, “I didn’t have it but Xiao Jingting gave it to me just now.”

Zhang Lingyu gritted her teeth and said, “You and Young Master Xiao are getting along well together.”

“It’s okay.” Xu Muan was full of sweetness. “Jingting is very good, but he just doesn’t have a good sense of spending money. He often buys me a lot of useless things, and he doesn’t listen to me when I say I don’t need them afterwards.”

Zhang Lingyu listened to Xu Muan’s sweet complaint, only to feel depressed in her heart.

“Xiaodong, are you full?” Xu Muan rubbed Xiao Xiaodong’s head and asked.

Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “I’m full.”

“Then let’s go.” Xu Muan stood up and said.

Zhang Lingyu thought for a bit and said, “Do you know the way? You’re not feeling well, so why don’t I accompany you?”

Xu Muan nodded and said, “Then I will be counting on you.”

…………

Zhang Lingyu walked beside Xu Muan and couldn’t stop sizing him up.

Xu Muan’s appearance was indifferent, as if he didn’t have any feelings when Zhang Lingyu was measuring him.

“You have a nice bracelet! But you didn’t seem to like these things very much before,” Zhang Lingyu said.

Xu Muan shook his head and smiled. In the past, he couldn’t talk about liking or hating it because he couldn’t afford to buy it. But now…

“Jingting bought it, he just spent money recklessly.” Xu Muan thought: Zhang Lingyu, from only looking at the bracelet, should think that it looked good and wouldn’t know that it is a spatial device. Xu Muan noticed that Zhang Lingyu had quite a few accessories on her body. But they were only decorative and had no actual function.

Xu Muan knew Wang Lu. The Jasper hairpin on Wang Lu’s head was not only beautiful, but it was also a weapon that could be used in combat.

The jade pendant worn by Wang Lu was not only exquisite and gorgeous, but it also had the effect of calming the mind and helping one settle down.

The ornaments on Zhang Lingyu’s body were numerous, but they were all decorative and not worth much money.

Zhang Lingyu smiled reluctantly and said, “You’re very close to Young Master Xiao! I had originally heard that Young Master Xiao didn’t like Gers and he had countless lovers outside, so I was worried about you.”

“Jingting was a fool a few years ago but after something happened to the Xiao family, he finally woke up. Now he is much better and drew a clear line with those people outside,” Xu Muan said.

Zhang Lingyu smiled and said, “Really? That’s good.”

Zhang Lingyu thought: Ji Mu said that Xu Muan was now a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Practice. Although Zhang Lingyu felt it was a little strange, she didn’t think that her husband would be wrong. Just thinking that Xu Muan was so powerful now, these lovers of Xiao Jingting might want to fight Xu Muan off.

Xu Muan and Zhang Lingyu talked all the way to the merchant house where the auction was to be conducted.

“May I help the two of you?” As soon as Xu Muan entered the merchant shop, the receptionist greeted him. Xiao Xiaodong, who was beside Xu Muan was instantly ignored because of his small size.

“I’m here to apply for a silver card,” Xu Muan said.

“This way please,” The receptionist said.

Xu Muan took out a pile of spiritual jade from his storage bracelet. Like silver, spiritual jade was currency that could be used as silver. In fact, spiritual jade was more popular than silver.

“This is your card. It already has 100,000 taels of silver deposited in it. This card can be used in various shops under our auction house. This is your entrance pass,” the receptionist said.

Xu Muan nodded and said, “Thank you.”

Seeing Xu Muan take out the spiritual jade from the bracelet, Zhang Lingyu standing on the side was completely dumbfounded. “You have a storage bracelet?”

Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes! Jingting likes to spend money recklessly. In fact, I could use a storage bag.”

Zhang Lingyu reluctantly smiled and said, “Young master Xiao is really generous to you!”

Xu Muan nodded with a smile, “Yeah!”

After Xu Muan obtained the entrance voucher, Zhang Lingyu tried her best to remain calm but her eyes couldn’t hide the great shock.

Zhang Lingyu met an acquaintance halfway and said goodbye to Xu Muan, who understandably bid farewell to Zhang Lingyu.

Xiao Xiaodong held Xu Muan’s hand, suddenly looked at Xu Muan and said wryly. “Father, you did it on purpose.”

Xu Muan smiled bitterly. Yes! He did do it on purpose. He was already so old but he still liked to show off like a child. In the past, Zhang Lingyu always liked to show off in front of him, so now he could finally show off in front of her! Xu Muan thought about it and felt that the more he lived, the more he would get back. “Was daddy annoying?”

Xiao Xiaodong shook his head and said, “No! In fact that aunt didn’t like you very much, daddy.”
