When Huang Yue Li walked away from the study, the weather had turned dark.
She told the servants to refurbish the study and courtyard. Afterwards, she told them to prepare dinner.
While eating, Cai Wei constantly held a hesitant expression, obviously she felt that something was off with her Young Miss today. Especially after those actions.
Huang Yue Li turned a blind eye to this.
Within her mind, she only thought about the letter and jade pendant.
Today, she tried every means to break the hidden formation, to find the letter Bai Liu Feng left behind. It was only to find the truth of her father's disappearance.
She did not expect, that once she read the letter, her question was not answered. Only more questions formed.
In the end what kind of identity did Bai Ruo Li's mother possess? Why was she a ninth grade talent, yet remained unknown to the word? What kind of family could nurture ninth grade talents and still remain so obscure?
From the knowledge of her past life, Huang Yue Li heard of practically all experts. Each of the major forces affairs were always within her information network.
But she did not hear of the mysterious identity behind her mother. This was too shocking!
Huang Yue Li vaguely felt that the continent held a lot of secrets.
In her past life she was infinitely close to the martial peak; at the very least she could glimpse the threshold. But the harsh reality was, she had merely been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well! Her view was far too narrow!
Additionally, what kind of clue did Bai Liu Feng find, that made him so desperately leave his daughter?
And the jade pendant he left behind, what was its meaning?
All this mystery, all so intricate. Completely made her unable to make heads or tails…..
...
Seven days passed by.
Soon, it was the day of the annual auction of Thousand Treasure Pavilion.
Huang Yue Li rose early, ready to rush to Thousand Treasure Pavilion and participate.
She did not trust that man. Such an important event, it was best if she personally went to observe the auction's situation. If she was swindled by him, she would not help him count his money!
But just as she stepped out of the gates, she was astounded.
There was silence on the street. A golden sandalwood horse carriage stopped in front of her.
Curtain sliding open, a tall, elegant and extravagant man stepped down from the carriage. Wearing his mask, he emitted his mysterious and bewitching temperament.
Huang Yue Li did not expect to meet him here. Face falling, she wanted to make a detour.
Taking a step forward, the man blocked her path.
"Third Young Miss Bai, where are you going?" His low and sexy voice, carried a faint trace of a smile as it travelled into her ears.
This voice was extremely mystifying. But in the ears of Huang Yue Li, it became rather annoying.
She turned her head and stared at the man, saying: "Where am I going, it does not seem to have any relation to you? On the other hand Lord Owner, why are blocking someone's path early in the morning? Could you have the intention to do something unlawful?"
"Third Young Miss Bai, your words make this Lord's heart hurt. How could you think like this?"
His lips hooked up, releasing his irresistible allure. But still carried a strong sense of power.
"Are you sure you want to go to Thousand Treasure Pavilion and participate in the auction? This Lord was afraid walking there would not be convenient, hence why I came to pick you up."
Huang Yue Li wished to say no, but thought otherwise., Since there was a free carriage to ride, why did she have to exert energy herself? Walking from here to Thousand Treasure Pavilion would require at least half an hour!
She nodded and said, "Okay then."
Voice fading, the man's long arm stretched out, suddenly hooking onto her slender waist. Using a some force, he pulled her into his arms.
"What are you doing??" Huang Yue Li angrily glanced up.
The man tightened his arms. As he felt the waist that seemed it would snap with a little force, her body's warmth and breathing, his heart couldn't help but send out waves of emotion.
Eyes falling on her pink coloured lips, he smiled wantonly.
"This carriage is too high. You are not a cultivator, so climbing up would be too hard. This Lord will carry you up! Don't move around too much!"
"Not hard. No need for you to trouble yourself!"
Huang Yue Li began to struggle too late, as he had already carried her into the carriage.
Fortunately, once in the carriage, he did not continue to hold her. But he gently released his arms.
Regaining her freedom, Huang Yue Li gave him a supercilious look.
Since she was already in the carriage, she didn't continue to be unreasonable. Minding her own business, she settled herself down.
On the small table was fine translucent tea set with a small fire underneath the teapot. Sitting in the teapot was still the top quality Clear Red Grass Tea.
It was not Huang Yue Li's first time in the carriage, and regardless of what the man was doing, she poured herself a cup of tea. Sipping the tea, she looked out the window.
The man pricked up his eyebrows.
This little fox was so spontaneous. Did she treat herself as the owner of the carriage? If she thought like that, it made him extremely happy!
However, she just poured her own tea and completely treated him a peerless man as thin air. Was there a problem with her sense of beauty, or a problem with her sight?
No matter what the problem was, it must be corrected!
Secretly coming to this conclusion, he quietly leaned towards his little fox.
Looking out the window, Huang Yue Li was trying to guess the results of today's auction.
Suddenly, the man's voice sounded from near her ear. It was practically beside her ear.
"Little girl, what are you thinking?"
"You..."
Huang Yue Li was startled. Did this man study a special hidden movement technique? Why did he not even make a little bit of noise or movement, indicating he had moved behind her.
Bluntly, the man sat right next to her.
Huang Yue Li was sitting in a seat meant for one person. Because the man forcibly squeezed himself in, there two people stuck side by side.
She turning her head, she looked at him with a displeasure. Just as she planned to get up, "What are you doing? Since you like my seat so much, I will let you have it!"
Who knew that as soon as she stood up, the man hook onto her waist from behind. And also also tripped her foot.
Unstable, Huang Yue Li could only sit back down. Not only that, she sat down on his thighs.
"Let go of me!"
Phoenix Yue did not think this man would be so shameless, and immediately struggled to rise.
He laughed in her ear and said: "Not releasing! You were throwing yourself into this Lord's arms, if this Lord were to refuse, wouldn't I be giving you no face?
"When did I throw myself into your arms? Delusional, must be cured!" Huang Yu Li clenched her teeth.
The man demonically curved his mouth, "How did you not? This Lord merely wanted to sit next to you, who knew that Third Young Miss would be this passionate. Changing your position to sit directly onto this Lord's legs! But do not worry, this Lord fully understands your intentions. Though you took the initiative, this Lord is not a superficial man. I will not think you are frivolous."
