In a lavishly decorated hall, there were five or six people standing in the middle of the hall, respectfully looking at the beautiful woman who was sitting in the main seat of the hall and drinking tea quietly. Manager Qin from the previous convoy was among them.

The woman had a gentle, dignified and elegant temperament. She slowly placed the teacup on the table and then looked at everyone in the hall.

"Are they really going to tear each other apart?"

The woman's voice was soft and calm as water. It was obvious that she had encountered an urgent matter, but it did not shake her in the slightest.

"Madam, we lost 7 people this time. This is the third time this month. They thought they could hide their tricks by wearing masks. I can see clearly that they are from those families!"

Manager Qin stepped forward and spoke angrily.

"Madam, we can't just sit there and wait for death. They are cutting flesh with a blunt knife. If they continue like this, the Qingyu City branch will be in danger."

Among the people in the hall, the leader was an old man in white, who was the president of the Qingyu City branch of the Yanyin Chamber of Commerce.

"Yes, ma'am, the profits of the Qingyu City branch have dropped by 30% this month, plus the expenditure of pensions... We can't let this go on."

Another person stood up, a plump woman with a charming look all over her body.

Everyone looked indignant, but the lady just shook her head slightly.

"This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. The branch will hold on to the property for the time being. I will make my own arrangements regarding the Qingling Jade."

"Madam! If you continue like this..."

"Manager Qin, what I said is no longer effective?"

After hearing what the lady said, Manager Qin couldn't help but wanted to step forward and persuade her again, but he was suppressed by the lady's calm words.

"Don't dare..."

Manager Qin quickly bowed and returned to his original position.

After this incident, the others looked at him in different ways, and they all gave up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade him.

"You all should leave first. Ji Chen, go and prepare to attend the Qingyu Auction tomorrow."

The lady waved her hand, signaling everyone to leave, and then her eyes fell on the old man in white who was in the lead.

"Okay, ma'am."

After everyone in the hall had left, the woman withdrew her gaze, turned her head slightly, and looked at the young man in white who had been standing quietly beside her.

"Feng'er, do you see anything?"

There was more tenderness in the woman's voice.

"Mom, I have an idea. First of all, our Yanyin Chamber of Commerce's convoy has been intercepted by the other party several times in a row. This is a suspicious point in itself. How did they manage to track the convoy so accurately?"

"Secondly, our convoy is only a part of the force of the Qingyu City branch. If the other party is determined to kill us, then it shouldn't be a big problem to swallow up the entire convoy."

"But the other party's actions were very measured. The team only lost a few people each time, which was more like cutting flesh with a blunt knife. Or, their goal was not the team itself, but more likely they had ideas about our entire branch."

The boy thought for a moment and gave his answer.

When the woman heard this, she still had a smile on her face, but she didn't say whether it was right or wrong. She just continued to look at the boy kindly.

"Hmm...it seems I guessed wrong again..."

The young man frowned, pressed his brows in distress, and fell into thought again.

After a moment, the young man shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Their target can't be our Yanyin Chamber of Commerce headquarters, right? Can they reach Konglin City thousands of miles away?"

"Why isn't it possible?"

The woman raised her lips into a beautiful arc and asked back.

"How is this possible? Although they have a Venerable Realm master behind them, Konglin City is not something they are qualified to interfere with," the young man was shocked and could not help but retort.

Seeing that the boy still couldn't understand, the woman had to explain.

"First of all, your original guess is not without reason. The new business brought in by the Qingyu City branch can indeed attract some people. If it were normal times, the other party might be seeking the Qingyu City branch of Yanyin Chamber of Commerce as you said."

"But you overlooked another thing," the woman paused here, then looked at the boy calmly, giving him a chance to think.

"another thing?"

The boy's eyes narrowed slightly, and his thoughts spread out.

What kind of thing could affect the situation on the Chamber of Commerce's side and make the other party feel qualified to interfere in the Yanyin Chamber of Commerce headquarters far away in Konglin?

There seemed to be a flash of lightning in his mind, and the boy blurted out: "Auction!"

The woman then nodded approvingly.

"Yes, it's because of this auction."

This is testing.

……

"Yan'er, Yan'er, look over there, those strings of red beads look delicious, what are they?"

"Yan'er, look! This dog is actually made of stone."

"Yan'er, come here quickly, there's something delicious here!"

The busy streets of Qingyu City were bustling with people coming and going, and it was very lively.

Among the crowd, a petite figure was pulling another person and running around the street, joining in the fun when they came across anything interesting.

Both of them were wearing a black cloak, but the little girl obviously didn't care much about it. Inadvertently, the hood of the cloak was blown open by the wind, revealing a delicate and cute little head.

The little girl's mischief had some influence on some people, and her outstanding appearance also attracted some covetousness.

However, when people saw that this little Lolita, who obviously had no aura of cultivation, was standing casually in the air with her pair of chubby white feet, walking on the air, everyone's inner thoughts were immediately put away.

Xiao Yan'er finally found a slightly remote place and grabbed the little Loli.

"Snowball, if you act naughty again, I won't take you to the auction."

Xiao Yan'er looked at the little Lolita who had a candied haws in her left hand, a skewer of grilled meat in her right hand, and a large circle of various delicacies floating around her, and pinched her white and tender little pointed ears helplessly.

"Swelling...what's wrong? Oh, that's how I ate when I went shopping with Xiaoxue and Fengge..."

The little girl was chewing the candied haws happily, one at a time.

"We are here to hide our identities. If we reveal our identities, we might attract enemies. We must be careful when we go out."

Xiao Yan'er squatted down, leveled her eyes with the little Lolita, and began to persuade her patiently.

The little girl chewed and swallowed, then opened her big (cherry) and (peach) mouth. She didn't see how she opened her mouth, but the candied haws as big as an adult's fist fell into her mouth. She continued to chew, her cheeks bulging like a hamster.

"Why do you have to hide your identity? I don't have any enemies. If there are enemies, just call Brother Feng to beat them up."

The cute big eyes blinked, exuding a clear stupidity.

Xiao Yan'er couldn't help but sigh, "I have enemies. If they find me, we won't be able to go shopping properly next time."

"Oh, okay, I'll listen to you."

The little Lolita fully demonstrated the manners that a little useless person with poor sense of direction should have when going out shopping. She must never make the person who leads the way angry.

Seeing that the little girl was listening to advice, Xiao Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled up her hood to cover her little head.

With this special cloak to block sight and breath, it is difficult for outsiders to see their true appearance.

"Here, Yan'er, I'll share this with you. It's delicious."

There were still two candied haws left on the string. The little girl hesitated for a moment, but still chose to put it in front of Xiao Yan'er.

"I don't have to...Okay, thank you, Snowball."

Xiao Yan'er was about to decline, but seeing the little guy staring at the candied haws on the string reluctantly, she immediately had evil intentions.

"To thank Snowball for sharing, I will eat them all."

Xiao Yan'er approached the candied haws with a smile, opened her cherry lips as wide as possible, and pretended to bite two candied haws at the same time.

At the same time, she kept her eyes on the little girl's face. Seeing the little girl's tangled expression as she handed over the candied haws despite being reluctant to part with it, she felt inexplicably happy in her heart...

[How cute! I'd better not bully her...]

Under the nervous gaze of the little Lolita, Xiao Yan'er bit the candied haws outside.

Just as she was about to turn around and pull the candied haws off the string, she heard a whoosh and the branch of the candied haws was pulled out. The next moment, the little girl bit off the last candied haws at lightning speed and began chewing it quickly.

"you……"

Xiao Yan'er stared at the scene in amazement, biting the candied haws with her pearly teeth, not knowing whether to eat it or not.

[Why do I feel like I'm snatching food from a child? ]

"Hey, how's it? Is it delicious?"

The little girl was a little embarrassed, afraid that Xiao Yan'er would think she was stingy, so she thought quickly and changed the subject.

"You," Xiao Yan'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The thoughts of this greedy little brat were so easy to guess.

She reached out and grabbed the candied haws, which was bigger than her fist, and took a small bite.

After chewing it gently, Xiao Yan'er's eyes lit up slightly. It seemed that this little guy's taste was worthy of recognition.

"Right, it's delicious, right?" The little girl laughed.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan'er's beautiful eyes froze, and she quickly stuffed the candied haws that she had taken a small bite of into the little girl's mouth, blocking her little mouth that was about to speak.

"Shh..."

Xiao Yan'er gently held down the little Loli, and the next moment several voices rang out from the alley not far away.

"Ha... I... I'm telling you, after our Baiyutang people showed up, the people from the Yanyin Chamber of Commerce were scared to death, and in the end they left behind seven unlucky corpses and walked away in disgrace, hahahaha..."

"That's nothing. Last time, our Red Society took away three truckloads of Qingling Jade Ore from them. How arrogant that Qin was before, how aggrieved he is now. Haha..."

"..."

The voices of the drunks gradually faded away, and Xiao Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that some local sects and gangs are targeting the Yanyin Chamber of Commerce? It has nothing to do with her.

She was really too sensitive because of being hunted by those bastards of the Hun family over the years. Besides, it was her first time in Qingyu City and she was unfamiliar with the place. It was better to have less trouble than more. It was better not to provoke a drunk person like this.

The crisp chewing sound coming from the arms broke the silence here.

Xiao Yan'er lowered her head and saw the little girl chewing her candied haws with a satisfied look on her face.

"You."

Xiao Yan'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she reached out and gently touched the little Loli's forehead.

"Hehe...Yan'er, I tried it for you, and yours tastes good too."

The little guy grinned.

"Let's go, we still have to buy an admission ticket to the auction, and by the way...let's buy some candied haws."

"Great!"
