Lou Qingwu was alert as she turned around, seeing that scene, coldness flashed in her eyes.
Just as she was about to dodge, she didnât think that this Nie Zhenâer actually had a few moves and dared to stretch out to grab her clothes.
She viciously pulled at them as Lou Qingwuâs body fell to the side and onto the floor.
The people at the sceneâs expressions all changed, only Nie Zhenâerâs face was still proud.
Iâll make you fall to death, see if youâll still dare to provoke me!
Only Lou Qingwu didnât actually fall, but instead, was held by the waist by someone who easily lifted her up.
When she stood steady, Lou Qingwuâs face underneath her mask completely froze over.
Now, sheâd been delayed for long enough.
If she struck at this time, itâd only delay the time to her taking the painting and the sword, so she sucked in a deep breath and pressed down on her rising anger.
She patted her clothes for any creases and then, looked at the person who stretched out to help her.
She lifted up her eyes and met a person wearing a phoenix tail mask, revealing only a pair of peach blossom eyes, red lips and a perfect chin.
When he saw her looking at him, the peach blossom eyes curved, showing a hint of charm that would bewitch.
âThank you for this gentlemanâs help, Iâll thank you another day.â
She originally said this as a courtesy, but who knew that this masked man would actually say, âAnother day, why not today? After the auction finishes, would this miss show her face and drink a cup of tea?â
Lou Qingwu raised a brow, speaking with difficulty, âThis isnât possible, afterwards, I still have to follow my master back.â
âThis way, ah.â The masked man blinked disappointedly, âWhat if your master agrees?â
âThen of course, I wonât have any opinions.â
That is, if Feng Yege would agree.
After finishing speaking, Lou Qingwu didnât delay any longer before turning around to pa.s.s the black jade pendant to the people guarding the door.
When the guards saw that n.o.ble and respectable black colour, their expressions immediately changed to deferential.
They carefully pushed open the door and ushered Lou Qingwu inside.
Lou Qingwu didnât bother with the Nie Zhenâer behind any more, there would always be some people who would forever be unhappy with you, even if you didnât provoke them.
Whether or not theyâd be pleasant to deal with seemed to have something to do with a personâs natural disposition, if their personalities clashed, then it could only be like that.
Nie Zhenâer was about to go crazy with anger, how could that woman go in like that?
How could she?
And what was that dark and murky thing? âWhy can you guys let someone like that enter just based on that thing?â
The guards looked contemptuously at the silver white jade pendant in Nie Zhenâerâs hands
They snorted, it seemed like this whatever dukeâs daughter hadnât heard of their rules.
âThis miss, our auction only has three types of jade pendants. The lowest ranked is 'silver whiteâ!â
They purposely bit out 'silver whiteâ and of course, when Nie Zhenâer heard âlowest rankedâ, her expression became ugly.
In the next moment of course, her face became pale.
âThose who enter ordinarily, are gold and as for black &h.e.l.lip; itâs the symbol for the most respected patrons for this auction, and even for the whole underground black market. There are only ten.â
Those that represented status were of course, incredibly prestigious and this little tiny dukeâs daughter, wouldnât have enough status to even take a look.
Nie Zhenâer clearly heard the meaning behind those words and just as she was about to open her mouth to speak, the servant girl behind her pulled at her clothes.
Nie Zhenâer gripped her handkerchief as she m.u.f.fled herself and didnât speak.
The masked man to the side had seen enough as his mouth became mocking.
His peach blossom eyes blinked as his feet moved, swaggering towards the guards and calmly &h.e.l.lip;. pulled out another black jade pendant.
The guards were stunned, what day was it today, for there to be two black pendants!
They immediately respectfully pushed open the door, âThis gentleman, please enter!â

TL note:
Peach blossom eyes - theyâre eyes that are shaped like a peach blossom, long and framed by thick eyelashes.
Who was the masked man? Would Feng Yege really be so bored as to pretend to be another guy to save LQW?
