Chapter 1199: The House of Treasures’s Auction

“Dad, bring my mystic beast to the Zhou Family. That way, I can feel assured.” Qiao Mu turned to stare sternly at the giant ape before instructing, “I’ll give you a chance to give up vice and turn to virtue. Protect my dad well!”

Qiao Zhongbang was both amused and exasperated as he and the giant ape gazed at each other in speechless dismay. He then hastily protested, “If Dad brings such a large ape over, wouldn’t that Zhou Family think Dad is coming to fight.”

“So what if it’s a fight.” Qiao Mu spat out coldly, “Those two body cultivators nearly crippled Second Uncle. It’s reasonable for the big ape to beat them up in return.”

When Qiao Zhongbang heard this, he felt like that did seem to be the case. Hence, he agreed with a nod, “Fine! Then don’t you intervene in this matter. Dad will come back soon.”

Upon seeing her husband bringing a bunch of people out the door, Wei Ziqin was a bit worried. “That Zhou Family is so unreasonable. Can your dad handle them?”

“Don’t worry, Mom, with the big ape alongside him, nothing can happen.” After all, she was all too aware of how strong this ape was.

When she normally chased it around to thrash it, it was always the one giving way to her. Otherwise, she absolutely wouldn’t be able to lay a hand on its fur.

Wei Ziqin nodded lightly. “That’s good then. Daughter, are you still going out then?”

“Yes.” Qiao Mu nodded. “Second Uncle and Brother Xiao Hu’s injuries have pretty much stabilized. They only need to take their medicine daily. When I come back in four days, I’ll just need to administer acupuncture to them again.”

Seeing that she had planned everything out, Wei Ziqin assented without saying anything more.

That night, Mo Lian and Qiao Mu brought the three kiddos to the House of Treasures Auction House.

“Eh?” A maidservant with an oblong face who was helping a frail and slender miss out from a carriage let out a sound of bafflement.

“Xu’er, what’s wrong?” Yi’an, who was lifting her skirt, paused and looked at Xu’er.

“I seem to have seen His Highness the Crown Prince.”

“It couldn’t be, how would His Highness come and join in on this excitement?” Yi’an determined with a shake of her head.

The servant girl called Xu’er smiled in embarrassment. “I probably saw wrong.”

“Mhm, then let’s go in. I heard that this newly-opened auction house will auction off a high-rank prolongation pill today. This time, I must successfully bid for this prolongation pill at all costs.”

There were just three months until the queen dowager’s birthday. With this prolongation pill and the hundred-longevity scroll that she stitched by hand, everything would be perfect.

“Mhm.” Xu’er nodded her head.

However, when the two turned around, they suddenly bumped into someone else. Once they looked up, they were mesmerized by a pair of bewitching phoenix eyes.

Xu’er couldn’t help letting out a cry of surprise. What a dazzling beauty.

Dressed in a fluttering purple dress, she had a tender neck and fair cheeks. She looked happy yet displeased, but gentle and lovely by every means.

Yi’an was also stunned, and she had the feeling that this girl’s phoenix eyes seemed familiar.

“Miss.” A pretty young maidservant with a round face walked up to the beauty’s side with a zither in her arms and glared at Xu’er and Yi’an. “What are you looking at? So rude. If you keep looking, I’ll gouge out your vulgar eyes!”

“What are you yelling at us for? It’s not like we’re looking at you!” Xu’er also started scolding with a glare.

“What did you say? Do you know who our miss is? How dare you be so impudent. Whose family’s dog are you? Declare your master’s name.” The young maidservant with a round face had a very sharp tongue.

“Whose family’s dog are you then. You first declare your master’s name!”

“I…”

“Alright, Baoyan.” A low and gentle voice said, “Do not be impolite.”
