Chapter 726 - Xiong Zhis Suggestion (1/2)

The murmuring voices inside the hall instantly quietened when the lights dimmed. Everyone was excited to witness the upcoming bidding war.

Ming Zhi Yi entered the stage wearing a different mask.

While he began to speak as the host, a low voice suddenly reached Xiong Zhi's ears.

”I wonder why he has to wear a mask every time when everyone here already knows who he is. What is the point of wearing a mask?”

The rich and deep voice of a man made Xiong Zhi turn around.

”Linfeng.” Her stoic expression softened.

Linfeng smiled back. He took a seat beside Xiong Zhi. He greeted the old man beside her.

Old Xiong ignored him and pretended that he did not hear a thing.

Xiong Zhi: ”Why did you come here? I don't mind even if you stay there with your brothers. It has been a while since you all last met. We can still meet later after the auction.”

”I told them that I will catch up with them at a later time instead. I am worried about you. I naturally have to be here by your side when you start to make a scene.”

”You make it sound like I am a kid causing trouble.” She chuckled.

Well, in a sense, she would be just like one today.

Linfeng held her cold hand comfortingly.

Xiong Zhi squeezed back his hold. The uneasiness and doubts faded away. In any case, she would do her best.

Xiong Zhi: ”Thank you, Linfeng. I will do well.”

Ming Zhi Yi soon finished his graces on the stage. He prompted the start of the introduction of the Honorary Plaque of Virtue again.

When the old rock was displayed on the stage, the new guests who only attended today began to murmur.

So that was the rock that caused the ruckus yesterday! They wondered how special it could be to have a starting price of a hundred billion, but it looks nothing special.

They were ready to witness another insane battle that might be fiercer than yesterday's!

When Ming Zhi Yi was about to start the bidding, Xiong Zhi suddenly raised her hand.

”I have a few words to say, Sir Auctioneer.”

All eyes turned to her.

Everyone: Oh, so it was the heiress from the Xiong family again.

On the stage, the eyes under the mask showed a hint of contempt for the girl who interrupted him once again.

Ming Zhi Yi was still smiling, but it was visibly colder.

”Can it wait after the bidding? Young heiress, although you might be young, you should still know how to conduct yourself properly in an event like this.”

Murmurs started to erupt.

”The young heiress is asking for too much attention, don't you think?”

”Remember several years back, she first bought the iconic dress at an unimaginable price, then yesterday she used the red placard to make this event happen, and now she is planning something again? She is acting too eccentric.”

Old Xiong's face darkened at the murmurs of the people.

He whipped his head towards Linfeng and asked in a low, harsh voice, ”Are you not going to defend my granddaughter?”

'You are her man, should you not shield her from these ruthless words?' Old Xiong's eyes were speaking to Linfeng.

Linfeng looked sideways at the calm sitting figure of Xiong Zhi.

The woman looked tranquil as if she did not hear anything.

Linfeng shook his head and whispered back. ”I would love to, but she will not like it. Please take a look at her, Headmaster Xiong, does she look like she needs help in this kind of situation?”

Old Xiong's frowning face looked at Xiong Zhi again.

He saw that Xiong Zhi's face was still cold and expressionless, however, her aura did not waver one bit. She was still brimming with bold confidence.

Old Xiong fell silent. Then he snorted.

Ha!
