"Wait!" Just as Ling Mo Xie was turning to leave, the elegant woman suddenly stretched out her hand and called out to him.
"What is it?" Ling Mo Xie turned around with a puzzled expression. Dongfang Siyu's face flushed slightly as she said, "I am Dongfang Siyu."
"Uh-huh, what is it?" Ling Mo Xie asked in confusion, wondering why she stopped him just to introduce herself.
Dongfang Siyu was taken aback, stamped her foot, and pouted in surprise, "You don't know me?" Ling Mo Xie frowned, "Well, I've heard of the Princess of the State of Youyun. What’s the matter?"
"You know? Then you should also know how generous my compensation will be, right? Why refuse?" Dongfang Siyu looked at Ling Mo Xie with a puzzled expression.
Ling Mo Xie chuckled in disbelief. No wonder that when he was chatting with Elder Long and Gao Lao earlier, this girl had been sitting quietly to the side; she must have been tangled up in this matter!
"I already said it, didn't I? You helped me; how could I accept your compensation?"
"But, but... if we find the treasure map, it would be me who benefits!" Dongfang Siyu raised her little head, her brows furrowed tightly as she genuinely couldn't understand.
Ling Mo Xie laughed heartily and couldn't help but reach out to pat her on the head, saying, "If you benefit, then so be it! Am I not happy to let you benefit?" He suddenly leaned closer to Dongfang Siyu and winked.
With a loud bang, Ling Mo Xie was sent flying. It was the little maid beside Dongfang Siyu who had made her move. She stood protectively in front of Dongfang Siyu and glared fiercely at Ling Mo Xie, saying with great authority, "Don't you dare tease the Princess!"
"Tease?" Dongfang Siyu murmured in surprise, a blush rising on her face. She reached out and pinched the maid's ear, saying sternly, "Oh really! Xiaomu! What did you say? You said I was teased? Are you itching for a fight?"
Xiaomu shrank back like a mouse encountering a cat; her bravado instantly vanished as she timidly looked at Dongfang Siyu. However, her eyes clearly conveyed the message: wasn't she indeed teased?
Ling Mo Xie stood up while clutching his chest and shook his head as he walked away. His cultivation level was still too low; that maid had knocked off one-fifth of his health in an instant. Judging by her aura, she was at least in the Heart Movement stage.
Seeing Ling Mo Xie leave, Ling Second Brother and several other brothers from the Ling family hurriedly followed suit. Today, following Ling Mo Xie had truly broadened their horizons. They might never encounter such an exciting event in their entire lives.
"Alright! Dongfang Siyu, don't blame that girl of yours. Haven't you seen everyone has left?" Old Long stood up and said, then walked out of the VIP room number three.
Dongfang Dongfang Siyu paused for a moment and sat down on the sofa in the room. Next to her, Gao Lao also stood up, saying, "Haha, then I'm leaving too! What about you, Princess?"
Dongfang Dongfang Siyu waved her hand and mumbled, "Go on! Go on! Don't mind me!" She lay back on the sofa, rubbing her forehead as if lost in thought.
"Princess, you can't possibly have developed feelings for that guy, right? You know, in the past, if anyone dared to come within a meter of you, I would have kicked them out without you saying a word," Xiaomu said with a hint of grievance.
"Impossible!" Dongfang Dongfang Siyu exclaimed loudly, then regained her authoritative demeanor and said, "Let's go! We should return to the station. Tomorrow, I want to watch his match against Dongfang Qingyu!"
After leaving the grand auction house, Ling Mo Xie went straight back to his small courtyard in the Ling residence.
After a night passed, two rumors suddenly emerged on the streets, causing quite a stir. One rumor was naturally about Yuwen Qingyu reporting inflated prices at the auction; gossipers vividly spread tales of how the Yuwen Family Head was furious when he came to pick up Yuwen Qingyu!
The other rumor was about Ling Mo Xie. The news of Sun Xiaoxiao leaving Ling Mo Xie's small courtyard late at night, combined with reports about the "strange" items auctioned off at the event, spread quickly. As a result, Ling Mo Xie was labeled as a lecher.
Upon waking up and hearing these two rumors from his servant, Ling Mo Xie could only smile wryly. However, looking at the main quest progress bar on his mission panel, which had reached forty-nine percent, he couldn't help but smile happily.
After all, this mission only mentioned gaining fame; it didn't specify that it had to be a good reputation!
"Seventh Young Master! Seventh Young Master! Something's wrong!" a young servant shouted as he rushed in.
Ling Mo Xie frowned and said, "What's wrong? I'm doing just fine! What happened? Speak slowly."
The young servant gasped for breath and said, "That Yuwen Qingyu has set up an Arena in the street, with people beating drums to promote it, claiming he wants to take revenge for the humiliation he suffered from Young Master yesterday!"
"Haha! He actually has some thoughts; does he want me to lose to him in front of everyone and embarrass myself? However, today, the one who will be embarrassed will definitely be him!" Ling Mo Xie narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself.
Although he had already issued a challenge to Yuwen Qingyu, the common people who knew about this were just those well-informed individuals; many others were still unaware. With Yuwen Qingyu promoting it like this, almost all the citizens would come to watch the match!
After all, Yuwen Qingyu was the number one among the younger generation in Tianfeng City. His reputation accumulated over more than a decade was far greater than that of the suddenly rising Ling Mo Xie.
"What's wrong with that? This is a good thing!" Ling Mo Xie laughed heartily and stepped out of the Ling residence.
Just as he exited, he saw a fiery red figure rushing towards him like a whirlwind. He didn't have time to dodge and ended up getting knocked down. The fiery red figure was also knocked back by the rebound force.
Ling Mo Xie quickly wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled helplessly, "Sun Xiaoxiao? You're here again? Aren't there enough rumors about me already? Now those citizens are saying I'm a lecher!"
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Sun Xiaoxiao snorted coldly and replied, "Isn't that so? What those citizens say is quite right!" Then she seemed to remember something and grabbed Ling Mo Xie's hand, saying, "Don't go compete with Yuwen Qingyu!"
"Why not? Just because he's making such a big fuss about it and many people will come to watch? I told you, the one who will lose will only be him!" Ling Mo Xie released Sun Xiaoxiao and raised an eyebrow confidently.
"It's not just because of that! I heard that he felt humiliated at the auction yesterday and was scolded by the Yuwen Family Head. In his anger, he actually managed to break through again! This means he's now at the initial stage of Heart Movement!" Sun Xiaoxiao said slowly, wanting Ling Mo Xie to recognize the seriousness of the situation.
