Villain: Starting by Forcibly Marrying the Protagonist’s Master, I Am Invincible – Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Tianmo Sect Leader Mu Yuqing

“Xiao Tiancheng, is that you?” Ye Fan stammered.

He really didn’t expect to encounter Xiao Tiancheng here.

“It’s me.” Xiao Tiancheng smiled slightly, with a gentle expression.

“Xiao Tiancheng, I…”

Ye Fan lowered his head in shame.

The task Xiao Tiancheng entrusted to him was to quickly win over Xiao Ruoyu. Now, Xiao Ruoyu was inside the Heavenly Dome Auction House, but he was blocked outside and couldn’t get in.

“Don’t be like that, I understand your situation, Brother Ye Fan.”

Xiao Tiancheng reached out and patted Ye Fan’s shoulder, a comforting smile on his face. “I’m here because there’s an important matter I need your help with, Brother Ye Fan,” he said.

Ye Fan’s eyes lit up. “Just tell me what you need.”

Xiao Tiancheng glanced around, confirming no one was paying attention to them. He leaned in close to Ye Fan’s ear and whispered, “I just received news that the Heavenly Dome Auction House will be auctioning off an incomplete jade pendant. This jade pendant is very important to me. You must help me obtain it.”

“I…”

Hearing this, a puzzled look appeared on Ye Fan’s face.

After all, he couldn’t enter the auction right now. Plus, Xiao Tiancheng knew he only had one million High-Grade Spirit Stones, which might not be enough to secure the incomplete jade pendant.

The bigger question was, why didn’t Xiao Tiancheng participate in the Heavenly Dome Auction himself? Wouldn’t that be more convenient?

“My Big Sister is inside. It’s not convenient for me to show my face.”

Xiao Tiancheng seemed to have guessed Ye Fan’s doubts and explained, “Only I know the secret of that incomplete jade pendant.”

If he were to personally bid on the incomplete jade pendant, it would definitely arouse the attention and suspicion of Xiao Ruoyu and other discerning individuals.

“I understand.”

Ye Fan nodded, taking note in his heart.

At this moment, his curiosity about Xiao Tiancheng grew.

Although Xiao Tiancheng’s strength was not comparable to Xiao Ruoyu’s, he was meticulous, clear-headed, good at scheming, and deeply cunning. It wouldn’t be unjustified if Xiao Ruoyu were to lose to him in the future.

“Take this.”

Xiao Tiancheng took out a Spatial Ring from his bosom and placed it in Ye Fan’s hand, solemnly saying, “All my possessions are here. Please, Brother Ye Fan, you must help me obtain that incomplete jade pendant. After the matter is settled, I will surely reward you handsomely!”

Ye Fan took the Spatial Ring and probed it with his Divine Sense, immediately gasping in shock.

Inside, a full ten billion High-Grade Spirit Stones were neatly arranged!

To him, this was simply an astronomical figure.

These Spirit Stones were enough to buy the entire Xianjian Sect and still have some left over.

Yet, Xiao Tiancheng entrusted him with so many Spirit Stones without hesitation, showing how much he trusted him.

For a moment, Ye Fan was filled with respect and gratitude towards Xiao Tiancheng.

“Xiao Tiancheng, since you trust me so much, I naturally won’t let you down.” Ye Fan nodded in agreement.

“Excellent!” Xiao Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

Afterwards, the two parted ways.

After obtaining Xiao Tiancheng’s ten billion High-Grade Spirit Stones, Ye Fan naturally passed the gate guards’ verification of funds. With a smug look on his face, he swaggered towards the auction house.

He didn’t know that his interaction with Xiao Tiancheng had been witnessed by a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows.

The Heavenly Dome Auction House truly lived up to its reputation as the number one auction house in the Tianxuan Continent. Its profound foundation left Ye Fan in awe.

◈◈◈

Inside the grand hall of the Heavenly Dome Auction House, the decor was opulent and magnificent. Antique redwood tables and chairs were arranged, laden with a dazzling array of delicacies and fine wines.

Graceful young maids, dressed in luxurious attire, shuttled among the guests, attending to their needs, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Ye Fan surveyed his surroundings, searching for Xiao Ruoyu amidst the crowd.

He had two goals tonight: one was to gain Xiao Ruoyu’s trust quickly and win her over; the other was to acquire the incomplete jade pendant at the auction.

The Heavenly Dome Auction House not only had a main hall, but also twenty-two private rooms. Ranked from highest to lowest, they were named after the Ten Heavenly Stems: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui; and the Twelve Earthly Branches: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.

The top four private rooms, Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding, were exclusively reserved for the heads of prominent families and major sects. Even Su Chen, the Young Master of the Su Family, was not qualified to enter.

This demonstrated the immense power and influence of those who could access these four exclusive rooms.

Throughout the numerous auctions held by the Donghua Region branch of the Heavenly Dome Auction House, very few individuals had ever been granted access to the Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding rooms.

At this moment, inside Private Room Ding, a seductive woman in a red dress, her long legs exposed, reclined languidly on a bed.

Her full and shapely buttocks, along with her alluring collarbone, showcased her fiery figure and captivating curves.

She was Mu Yuqing, the Sect Leader of the Tianmo Sect in Bei Wangzhou.

Using a Tianmo divination formation, she had deduced that the Son of Destiny, who had stirred the Eye of Heaven that day, was in the Donghua Region. After hastening here to investigate, she obtained a crucial clue: rumors placed the epicenter of the Eye of Heaven at the Su Residence on that day.

Therefore, she and her disciple, Lan Xiaoyou, had been lingering outside the Su Residence, observing.

They happened to encounter Su Chen leaving with Chu Yanran and Su Meier. She then used her Demonic Eye to examine Su Chen.

Upon observation, she detected a mysterious force within Su Chen, preventing the Demonic Eye from peering into his internal state. This immediately piqued her curiosity.

After all, a force capable of obstructing the Demonic Eye was undoubtedly extraordinary!

Thus, they stealthily followed, concealing themselves within the flow of people.

To avoid detection by Su Chen, upon entering the Heavenly Dome Auction House, Mu Yuqing instructed Lan Xiaoyou to present her Tianmo Token to Chen Feng, requesting him to arrange Private Room Ding, adjacent to Su Chen’s Private Room Wu.

Her purpose was to conveniently observe Su Chen’s activities within his private room.

At this time, Su Chen in Private Room Wu remained completely unaware. After all, Mu Yuqing possessed the same level of strength as his father, the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

She represented the pinnacle of combat power in the Tianxuan Continent.

Su Chen sat in a chair, embracing the delicate Chu Yanran in his arms. Their intimate posture exuded a palpable air of intimacy.

Su Chen’s right arm encircled Chu Yanran’s slender waist, while his left hand gently caressed her fair and delicate cheek.

His expression was tender, his gaze deep, seemingly infatuated. Yet, a hint of cunning flickered in his eyes, like a cat that had stolen a treat, his lips curled into a slight smile.

Nestled in Su Chen’s embrace, Chu Yanran felt a surge of sweetness in her heart.

She had finally chosen the right man. Just moments ago, outside the auction house, Su Chen had defended her so fiercely.

He had boldly and assertively reclaimed her honor.

He was indeed the man she adored, powerful and intoxicating.

“Yanran, do you still mean what you said earlier?” Su Chen inquired.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yanran’s face flushed crimson.
