Theheld, Yin Qie Zi ie around and escape He even started to resent Owen and Mila a bit forin his business He simply could not afford to keep a Leaf by his side Whether it was the things he had done in the past or the things he was going to do in the future, he couldn’t let the Leaves know about them!

Even though he wanted to leave, he found that he couldn’t do it

The venue was packed Although there was a huge square in front of the auction house, every inch of it was filled with people The streets were also lined with the carriages of the nobility The nues followed closely on the heel of one another and were forced to stay in place due to the heavy traffic

Yin Qie Zi had never seen this athered at the auction house before With that said, he previously did make an effort to avoid the days when the venue was packed It allowed hi to deal with a crowd In any case, the things he bid on were never what other people wanted He didn’t need to fight with others for them

Yin Qie Zi glanced out the carriageIt see out There were si in line before the restless and irritated, cursing left and right Soe The servants wore aggrieved expressions on their faces as they walked to the front of the line to check out the situation

Yin Qie Zi then glanced at the two nobles in their carriage, one sitting adjacent fro beside hied out of all the nobles gathered here and thus were h the line If they ordered Fenny to go and inform the auction house, they could probably enter the venue immediately

Mila appeared extrelanced out theat the long line of carriages She exclaimed, “There’s so many people!”

Owen then followed suit and also looked out theWhen he heard the cursing outside, he let out a “Ha” and res to this War-Glaive or that Warrior” In high spirits, Owen began to eavesdrop on the various nobles as they cursed Occasionally, he would click his tongue and comment on how he didn’t know they were this well-versed in profanities and such

In any case, it seee of their titles to enter the auction house quicker Yin Qie Zi sighed in relief At least now, he had some time to think of hoould face the Leaf later on

Owen suddenly exclaimed in shock and turned around to face thee”

“Really?” Mila asked in surprise “Didn’t he say he couldn’t come when you invited him?”

Owen shrugged and replied, “Yes, he said he wouldn’t have ti the emissaries from Danya Who knew he’d actually sneak out and come here?”

Mila was doubtful of her brother’s words She said in slight disbelief, “I don’t thinks so His Highness is never lazy when it comes to his responsibilities”

Fenny put down her yarn and asked tentatively, “Could it be that the eht thee?”

At her suggestion, Owen and Mila finally stopped speculating There was a very high possibility that Fenny’s suggestion was true

Mila nodded and added, “They are auctioning off a Leaf today Most likely, the Danyas have come to bid on the Leaf”

Yin Qie Zi froze in shock and asked puzzledly, “Do the Danyas like the Leaves?”

Owen nodded in response “Yes, that’s why our peace offeringsLeaves to the Leaves to Xia Sha for thehtI’ve heard they have at least two thousand Leaves living in their country”

Two thousand Leaves? Yin Qie Zi was shocked He asked in disbelief, “Why do they like the Leaves so much?”

When he heard this question, Oas reminded of Yin Qie Zi’s true identity He replied a bit uneasily, “Even if you ask me, I wouldn’t know I’ve only heard they like Leaves and that they’ve spent a great a Other than that, I’m not very sure”

Seeing Owen’s frantic expression, Yin Qie Zi understood that he shouldn’t pursue the question He azed quietly at the chaos outside Occasionally, he would glance at the prince’s carriage, thinking that the Danya with gold-streaked hair ain? Right, his nao?

“Ah?” Mila leaned forward and pulled on Owen’s sleeve “Owen, look at that carriage over there Doesn’t it belong to Commander Chris? It has Zhan Yan’s coat of arnia on it It should be Coht?”

“It really is! What’s up with everyone today?” Owen shouted in fright, “What is Teacher doing at an auction? I never knew he came to these kinds of places”

Mila quickly assured him, “Maybe it’s not hie to come, like his wife perhaps”

Owen’s furrowed brow relaxed If not for Mila’s suggestion, he’d have thought that his teacher only showed up because all the other nobles in Zhan Yan see at the auction

“If we continue waiting like this, we probably won’t reach the venue even after the auction has started” Fenny directed her question at Mila, “Why don’t I go and arrange for them to let us in?”

Mila nodded in assent

Fenny is leaving? Yin Qie Zi was alaran to pound rapidly

If Fenny were to leave, then only Owen, Mila, and he would be left on the carriage His injured shoulder would slow his attacking speed, but Oasn’t prepared to guard against him at all If he attacked suddenly, he could probably kill Oith one hit

After he killed Owen, then all Mila could do would be to wait for her own death

Should he make a move?

Fenny poked her head out and spoke a feords to the coachman She then turned around and smiled “It’s already done I’ve asked the coach with him”

“Oh, Edward truly has his uses,” Owen said and laughed loudly

Yin Qie Zi hid his right hand behind his back He clenched his fist tightly and glanced out theHe maintained a cool expression on his face and slowly felt hi down He’d never expected to have the chance to make a move at this moment, so it wasn’t considered a failure for hiinal plan

Not long after, the carriage finally moved from its spot The nobles around them stuck their heads out one after another Irritation could be seen on their faces, but when they saw that the ed to the royal faer They had also noticed that the carriage following behind Prince Edward’s didn’t belong to the royal faht of the Paladin family crest, they didn’t dare show even a hint of their irritation

Many of the nobles glanced curiously at Yin Qie Zi For the most part, they only stared at his hair and then curiously speculated on his identity

Yin Qie Zi quickly noticed thatat him He immediately drew the curtains across theand turned to face the inside of the carriage Coincidentally, his eyes met Mila’s

Slightly worried, she asked, “Do you dislike crowded places? Do you want to go hoo in by hiht?”

Yin Qie Zi was silent for a o back I had acted purely on instinct just now In the past, I was afraid people would see through me and notice that I was different, that I wasn’t human I avoided crowded places because of that But there’s nothing to worry about now I should look like any other huht?”

He looked at Mila and then at Owen The two quickly nodded their heads, their movements exactly the same Only now did they look like a pair of twins Yin Qie Zi looked at the two’s sa

“You laughed! You actually laughed! How rare!” Owen started yelling,deal out of it

Yin Qie Zi i fiercely at Owen After hesitating a ain It was sie with the curtains drawn

Unexpectedly, when he opened the curtains, he found they had already arrived at the door of the auction house Over a dozen guards stood in ts, currently welcoe The first to step out was Prince Edward

As Fenny had sur the prince were the Danya emissaries The minute the Danyas stepped out, Yin Qie Zi could hear a round of gasps in the crowd The Danyas were si

As their average height was around two meters, they stood over the rest of the crowd by at least a head Their bodies were sli hair Theirand unique feature, however, was their hair color On top of the white base, their hair was streaked with large aold, with small amounts of blue, red, and black mixed in

There were four Danyas in total, but only one of theold streaks He walked ahead of everyone else, appearing to be the leader of the sroup It was Jin Qi Er, the Danya Yin Qie Zi had seen on the night of the attack at the palace

“Owen!”

Oas the first one to step down froave a strange look at Fenny, as still sitting inside She seee She si like a weak and powerless girl once again

Yin Qie Zi felt a bit helpless and tried to explain, “There’s a lot of people here It probably won’t be appropriate for me to lift Mila out”

Fro of human culture, it was extreirl in his arin diploed away by the guards if he dared to do such a thing!

Fennyenough to lift the young e”

Why did she appear so natural while lying? It was as if she believed in her lie Yin Qie Zi suddenly felt very tired and helpless

“Fenny, stop fooling around” With a red face, Mila said quietly, “Yin Qie Zi is right There are too many people here It would be extremely inappropriate for him to help me down”

“Miss, why are you saying that too? I’h to lift you” Once she finished speaking, Fenny quickly slipped out of the carriage She turned around and said, “I will go prepare your wheelchair”

“Fenny!” Mila exclaimed in shock, but her e

The wheelchair is probably heavier than Mila, Yin Qie Zi thought He sighed lightly and asked, “Mila, is it okay for me to lift you down?”

“So-sorry!” Mila quickly replied, the shame apparent on her face “You can just leave me here I just don’t believe that Fenny and Oill leave o in by themselves!”

Yin Qie Zi gazed at Mila silently He didn’t know if she was telling the truth or if she wasan excuse If he really did as she asked, she ry with him instead He had come across several people in the past ouldhis help

Mila, however, repeated in a firm voice, “Really, you can just leave me here! Don’t worry It’s all because of Owen and Fenny They’ve gone too far this time”

Yin Qie Zi closely examined Mila’s expression Not a bit of hesitation could be seen on her face, only deter an excuse to let him leave He smiled and said, “If Prince Edward ever blames me for this, you’ll have to help me out and say it’s all Owen’s fault”

“Eh?”

Mila stared at hi lifted in one swift motion Startled, she cried out in alarrabbed hold of the nearest thing to stabilize herself When she noticed she had grabbed onto Yin Qie Zi’s head, she cried out again She quickly released her hold and quietly apologized in a sheepish voice, “So-sorry”

Yin Qie Zihis best to maintain his calm, he couldn’t restrain the blush that rose up on his cheeks Mila had just grabbed onto his head When they’d left for the auction, he hadn’t bothered coating his hair with the powder of grazing beasts His hair had been touched directly, without any protection at all He felt…so he couldn’t bear to describe

“Yin Qie Zi, Yin Qie Zi, you can put me down”

When he felt his chest being patted, Yin Qie Zi finally regained his senses He was still holding onto Mila Fenny, who stood at the side with the wheelchair, was secretly laughing to herself The crowd around them was quiet, so quiet that it was abnor at the people around thele person had their eyes on him and Mila The prince, the Danya euards were all quietly staring at them ide eyes

Oas so shocked that his jaas hanging almost all the way down to his chest

When he saw they were the center of attention, Yin Qie Zi was so embarrassed that he didn’t dare to look around anymore He quickly withdrew his eyes and lowered his head to avoid other people’s gazes With his head lowered, however, he immediately noticed that Mila’s face was flushed red Even the tips of her ears were red due to her embarrassment Her head was lowered so much that her face couldn’t be seen

“…”

In one breath, Yin Qie Zi placed Mila onto her wheelchair and quickly pushed her into the auction house without looking back Fenny pulled up her skirts and ran after the to keep up

After they entered the auction house, Yin Qie Zi pushed Mila toward the great hall without pausing Only once they were inside the hall did he finally stop to breathe At that hter Even though they were quite a distance away frohter loud and clear

Yin Qie Zi had an urge to bash his head against a wall and die

“Don’t worry Yin Qie Zi Y-you didn’t actually do anything You were just staring in a daze for a little”

Yin Qie Zi lifted his head and looked at her Mila’s face was still as red as an apple, but she was trying her best to reassure him

Seeing this, he ht into Mila’s eyes and apologized, “I’m sorry I’ve embarrassed you just now”

Faced with Yin Qie Zi’s gaze, Mila lowered her head She mumbled, “Actually, I didn’t feel all that embarrassed”

As Mila had her head bowed, Yin Qie Zi could only see her golden hair fro This was the best, however, as their faces were so red that it seemed they were about to spew out blood froazes for any longer, Yin Qie Zi would probably truly turn around and escape

“Sir, may I ask if you need me to take you to your seats?”

Pretending to be unperturbed, Yin Qie Zi turned to look at the person who had spoken It was a young arb with a sht what he had said and asked, “What did you just say?”

The attendant respectfully repeated his question, “Would you like me to lead you to your seats? If I could have your admission tickets, if you please”

Yin Qie Zi frowned at his words Seeing this, the attendant dared not probe thefrom Yin Qie Zi’s luxurious outfit, he knew the latter wasn’t someone to provoke Even if Yin Qie Zi didn’t have an admission ticket, the ht now

“I have the admission tickets here”

Out of nowhere, Fenny ca man He accepted theht The tickets were for the box seats reserved especially for distinguished guests Only the highest ranked nobility were able to afford these tickets Fro master with silvery-purple hair had an extraordinary air about hiuished family

The young ree bow and said reverently, “Please follow me”

Yin Qie Zi hesitated for a ly went forward to push Mila’s wheelchair Mila lowered her head shyly in response Fenny laughed to herself all the while by the side Even though Yin Qie Zi continuously gave her pointed stares, it didn’t stop her laughter

The young man led the three of thee as it was situated just to the right of it The angle the box was built in also blocked curious glances from other attendees They were seats that offered privacy and a good view
