The auction ended swiftly, and with the final lot sold, Zhang Sanqian stood up and said, "Today's first session of the auction has concluded. Esteemed fellows, please rest early, for tomorrow brings the second segment, the Martial Arts Tournament. We shall meet again tomorrow."

The auction over, Li Xiaoyao and Cheng Dongliang stood up.

Cheng Dongliang said, "I have booked three rooms at the nearby Tianxiang Pavilion. Let's go back and rest early."

Li Xiaoyao nodded and walked with him towards the entrance.

"Li Xiaoyao!"

A roar of anger erupted from behind him. Wu Hao stared at Li Xiaoyao with fury and said, "You killed a disciple of my Wu Family. At the Martial Arts Tournament tomorrow, I will personally cripple you on the stage!"

Having spoken, Wu Hao got up and walked upstairs.

The people in the hall, overhearing Wu Hao's words, couldn't help but start a buzzing discussion.

"This youngster actually killed someone from the Wu Family!"

"He's got some serious nerve, daring to mess with the Wu Family."

"I reckon his cultivation level is merely at the early stages of Qi Cultivation Mirror, whereas Wu Hao's cultivation level, even I can't see through it. He must have entered the Condensation Realm. If he truly chooses to fight tomorrow, I'm afraid he'll be killed on the spot by Wu Hao!"

Lin Yuanyuan naturally also heard Wu Hao's words. She quickly walked to Li Xiaoyao, expressing concern, "You mustn't agree to that bastard tomorrow. I asked Sister Shiyun, the Martial Arts Tournament requires mutual consent to fight on stage. As long as you don't agree, he can't lay a hand on you no matter how frustrated he gets."

"That's right." Lin Shiyun also came over, gave Li Xiaoyao a look, and said, "You're strong, but Wu Hao is stronger."

"Even if Wu Hao's cultivation level hasn't reached the Condensation Realm, it's not far off."

Lin Langtian and others came over at this time and said, "Don't lose your life over so-called pride."

Li Xiaoyao ignored Lin Shiyun and the others and instead looked at Lin Yuanyuan, revealing a faint smile, "Someone will die tomorrow, but it definitely won't be me."

"Ignorant fool, do you really think you're a high-level expert of the Condensation Realm?" Lin Langtian snorted disdainfully, then turned to Lin Yuanyuan and said, "Yuanyuan, let's go. We don't need to care about his life or death. If he wishes to seek death, let him die then."

Lin Shiyun shook her head in disappointment and said, "Li Xiaoyao, there's absolutely no need for you to throw away your life for pride."

Li Xiaoyao stared straight at Lin Langtian, his voice cold, "If you weren't Yuanyuan's cousin, you'd be lying here right now."

Lin Langtian's eyebrows twitched, "Arrogant fool. If you weren't Yuanyuan's friend, I would kill you here on the spot!"

Li Xiaoyao let out a cold laugh, declining to engage in a war of words.

Some people always have a baseless confidence.

Lin Yuanyuan, anxiously grabbing Li Xiaoyao's arm, said, "Scoundrel, I'm serious. You must not accept the challenge tomorrow. If you don't accept, I'll let you touch me."

As she spoke, Lin Yuanyuan even pushed out her full chest.

Li Xiaoyao looked down at her chest, somewhat astonished, "Crazy woman, have you taken the wrong medicine?"

"Bastard!" Lin Yuanyuan stamped on his foot and huffed, "No, I have to follow you tonight."

"Why would you follow me?" Li Xiaoyao said, puzzled, but deep inside he was touched. This woman, although she kept calling him 'dog servant' every day, was very concerned about him when it truly mattered.

"I'm afraid you'll seek death," Lin Yuanyuan said righteously, clutching his arm. "Where are you staying?"

"Yuanyuan!" Lin Shiyun called out with a frown, "Stop messing around, come back here."

Lin Langtian felt a surge of anger in his chest and said, "Yuanyuan, you are a daughter of the Lin Family. How can you act so casually?"

"What does my being casual have to do with you? Are you my father or my mother?" Lin Yuanyuan had long disliked Lin Langtian; as a woman, she knew from the moment Lin Langtian first looked at her that this man had designs on her and that he very much wanted to sleep with her.

"Yuanyuan, what are you saying? I'm your cousin, of course I should take care of you!" Lin Langtian furrowed his brow and said.

Lin Yuanyuan scoffed disdainfully and said, "Cousin? What you're probably thinking about is how to pin me under you, right? Don't think I can't see through your dirty thoughts. I've met too many men like you, all full of righteousness and morality but harboring thoughts of thievery and lechery."

Lin Yuanyuan mercilessly exposed Lin Langtian's thoughts, showing no regard for his pride. After speaking, she hooked her arm through Li Xiaoyao's and walked outside.

Anger swept across Lin Langtian's face; he stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yuanyuan's fair wrist, saying sternly, "Come back with me."

"Take your dirty hands off me." Lin Yuanyuan tried to shake him off forcefully, but couldn't.

Li Xiaoyao reached out and seized Lin Langtian's wrist, saying, "What's the matter? If soft tactics won't work, you want to try force?"

Lin Langtian cursed, "This has nothing to do with you, get lost!"

"Hmph!" Cheng Dongliang snorted angrily, and in an instant, a strong aura emanated from him, pushing Lin Langtian back half a step.

Cheng Dongliang said in a deep voice, "Young man from the Lin Family, this is the Ghost Market, not your Lin Family estate. The Ghost Market has its own rules, and if you dare to act violently again, I will be the one to teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders."

Clenching his teeth, Lin Langtian stared at Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yuanyuan with a look of hatred and said, "A woman I set my sights on has never escaped me. Once the Ghost Market is over, I will go to your father to propose marriage. With my standing in the Lin Family, your father wouldn't dare refuse. When we are married, I will tie you up and have my way with you."

After dropping those words, Lin Langtian turned and left, leaving Lin Yuanyuan looking startled and fearful.

Lin Shiyun and others also did not expect Lin Langtian to say such things.

A few young men and women looked at Lin Yuanyuan with sympathy and pity, shook their heads, and said, "Yuanyuan, Big Brother Lin is very angry, and the consequences will be serious. If I were you, I would go and apologize now."

Lin Shiyun sighed and then angrily turned to Li Xiaoyao, saying, "Are you satisfied now? Is this what you wanted? Yuanyuan was kindly advising you, but you refused to listen, leading her into such a predicament."

"Yuanyuan, don't worry too much. I'll go explain to Big Brother Lin. He was just speaking in anger just now; you shouldn't take it seriously. But you can't go with him tonight."

Lin Yuanyuan found herself in a dilemma. She was afraid that Li Xiaoyao would truly accept the challenge tomorrow, so she had to persuade him earnestly tonight. On the other hand, she also feared that being with Li Xiaoyao tonight would make Lin Langtian hold a grudge against her.

Li Xiaoyao patted the back of her hand and smiled, "Do you trust me?"

Lin Yuanyuan gazed at the man in front of her who gave her a sense of security and nodded subconsciously, "I trust."

"Then come with me. With me around, no one will dare to hurt you. As for that Lin Langtian, if he dares to touch you afterwards, I will kill him." Li Xiaoyao said nonchalantly, as if killing Lin Langtian was as simple as stepping on an ant.

Lin Shiyun desperately said, "Yuanyuan!"

Lin Yuanyuan ignored her and said, "I'll go with you."

The two left Fuman Building and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Lin Shiyun watched this scene and sighed repeatedly.

"Really a foolhardy fool, to actually say he would kill Big Brother Lin?"

"Heh, I've seen plenty of this type of person. They always like to show off and talk big in front of women."
