Suddenly, Ye Hao looked into the distance and saw a woman in flowing garments approaching. This person was none other than Wu Min, the auctioneer from the auction house.
It’s her. Ye Hao smiled suddenly and said, "Brother Shen, I think we have a way in."
Shen Zhangqiu was momentarily taken aback and followed Ye Hao's gaze to look at the woman approaching. She had a graceful figure and an elegant demeanor, indeed a beauty.
"Do you know her?"
"I’ve had some interactions with her before, outside. I even saved her once," Ye Hao replied confidently. "I believe she will give me face and let me in."
Wu Min arrived at the entrance of the auction house, frowning as a pale-faced young man blocked her path.
"Get out of the way!" Wu Min scolded.
She had many suitors, each one more impressive than the last. This pale-faced youth was clearly overestimating himself by blocking her way; he should take a good look at himself.
"Wu Miss, it’s me, Ye Hao!!"
Even with his mask on, Ye Hao couldn't help but grin after saying this.
"Ye Hao!"
Wu Min recognized him immediately upon seeing his signature grin. She felt a rush of emotions. Previously, Ye Hao had secretly sold her some herbs, and once he had saved her in the wilderness. There was something special about Ye Hao; although his cultivation seemed low, his strength was formidable. She had always wanted to befriend someone like him.
However, about a month ago, it was rumored that he had encountered some trouble and was said to be the young master of the Xunxian Sect.
Suppressing her surprise, Wu Min whispered, "You’re being hunted! What are you doing here?"
"Wu Miss, I had no choice. I heard there are some precious treasures for sale at this auction, so I thought I’d try my luck. Unfortunately, I got stopped by that guard when I arrived!"
Wu Min explained, "You misunderstood; he was just doing his job. If they let you in without an invitation, they would be punished."
"I know, but their tone was just too dismissive," Ye Hao said impatiently. "We’re friends; I even saved you once! You can’t help me out a little?"
"Wu Miss, can you let me in?" Ye Hao asked hopefully.
Wu Min hesitated for a moment. Ye Hao was currently wanted; if she let him in and he was discovered, her life would be in danger. After all, Ye Hao had once saved her.
"Just go in, but don’t say anything out of line, understand?"
"Mm, you can rest assured, Miss Wu."
Ye Hao smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth curling up.
Miss Wu had indeed helped him, just as he had guessed; she definitely had feelings for him. Otherwise, why would she agree to help him? Right?
"Don’t worry, Miss Wu. Once I become an immortal in the future, I will take you with me to ascend. At that time, you can be my maid by my side," Ye Hao thought to himself.
In his eyes, having Wu Min as his maid would be a blessing she earned from her previous life.
Soon after, Wu Min handed him two invitation cards. She nodded and said, "I still have things to attend to," before turning and walking away without looking back.
Holding the invitation cards, Ye Hao made his way to Shen Zhangqiu's side.
Shen Zhangqiu had witnessed everything that just happened and was immediately astonished. "Brother Ye, you really know her?"
"Of course!"
"Impressive." Shen Zhangqiu gave a thumbs up.
"Well, there are many people today; let’s take two seats."
Ye Hao approached the guards who had previously stopped them, holding up the invitation cards. "See this? Invitation!"
Initially, Ye Hao had intended to make things difficult for the guard, but what he saw inside made him frown.
Wu Min was chatting happily with Chen Anlin.
This Wu Min was too inconsiderate; she clearly liked him—so why was she so close to another man?
Ye Hao felt a twinge of displeasure in his heart.
However, he quickly rationalized it; after all, this was Wu Min's job and normal socializing.
With that thought in mind, he looked at Chen Anlin.
In recent days, he had secretly learned that Chen Anlin had grown very close to his fiancée, Su Bingyu. The thought of it filled him with rage.
Endure!
Chen Anlin, you dog of the Empress! Although you wield immense power now, you still can't escape my reach!
I know how to endure; I know how to bear humiliation and carry burdens. When the day comes that I become powerful enough to ascend, I will not only kill you but also reclaim my woman.
I want you to see that the one who truly loves her is me!
Bingyu, hold on; I'm behind you, Ye Hao whispered to himself.
As Ye Hao lost himself in these thoughts, Chen Anlin was chatting with Wu Min. He had naturally seen the scene where Wu Min had just handed Ye Hao an invitation.
This Wu Min actually helped Ye Hao! Moreover, it seemed she didn't particularly like him.
As an auctioneer here, Wu Min appeared to be having a lively conversation with Chen Anlin, but deep down, she felt a flicker of disdain. She looked down on such scions of wealthy families. Compared to Ye Chen, Chen Anlin was merely riding on the coattails of the Empress.
After a brief exchange, when Wu Min brought Chen Anlin to the VIP lounge, just as she was about to speak, Chen Anlin suddenly pulled her back.
"Miss Wu, why are you in such a hurry?" Chen Anlin smiled slightly and pulled her onto his lap.
Wu Min froze and struggled. "Young Master Chen, please have some self-respect!"
Below them, Ye Hao witnessed this scene and felt his blood boil: This Chen Anlin dared to take liberties with his woman in front of everyone!
Endure!
Ye Hao clenched his fists tightly.
