Although she didn’t get the desired item, participating in the auction was still enjoyable!

As they walked, Tang Xin commented, “If it weren’t for the visit, there wouldn’t have been a chance to toy with that fool. Coming here was worthwhile.”

Following behind, Yan Hao wanted to say something but suddenly frowned, took a step forward, and shielded Tang Xin behind him with his left hand.

“Who?” Tang Xin, seeing Yan Hao’s posture, immediately sensed someone lurking in the shadows and became alert.

Walking out of the corner’s shadow was an old man in a dark suit. He had an unusual demeanor and a different sparkle in his eyes. “A young man in his twenties, a level six martial artist.Truly, the old saying holds, heroes emerge from the youth. This old man is truly old!”

Knowing that the opponent was a level six martial artist but not being afraid, dressed in decent clothes, and seemingly well-off, Tang Xin, among the guests, wasn’t considered wealthy enough to be targeted. Since she didn’t bid on any treasures, he wasn’t likely someone who specialized in robbing and plundering valuables.

Tang Xin frowned. If that were the case, why did the other party stop them? What was their motive?

“Isn’t the Yun family a big family? Coming to block the road in the middle of the night, is it for a part-time job?” At the same moment, Tang Xin spoke indifferently.

“The people of the Yun family surprisingly act as sneakily as petty individuals,” Yan Hao commented lightly at the same moment.

The old man’s interest grew. “The little girl’s eyes are quite sharp. Hey, you actually saw through that I am from the Yun family.”

“When entering the venue, the girl in the Tang suit who led the way mentioned it,” Yan Hao repeated the girl’s words with precision, “In the Huangsha Star, no one dares to cause trouble on the Yun family’s territory. Judging by the auction situation, her words are true. But if the Yun family is really powerful, in my opinion, I wouldn’t risk offending the Yun family just to stop someone.”

“So, the only ones daring to do this are Yun family members; is that the implication? This young man has a good mind and is quite effective.”

The old man laughed heartily. “My surname is Su; everyone calls me Uncle Su. I’ve come specifically to invite Miss Tang to meet with my family’s master.”

“Another one is looking to meet me. Why are there so many secret admirers? And they are all uncles. If they want to see me, why don’t they come over themselves? Instead, they all make me go to them,” Tang Xin muttered to herself.

As for having her surname revealed, she wasn’t surprised at all. If the Yun family, as a local bigwig, couldn’t find out any information, that would be strange. Perhaps not only her name but more details had been thoroughly investigated.

Uncle Su maintained his smile: “The master is unwell, resting at home, and it’s inconvenient for him to come and meet Miss Tang. I hope Miss Tang forgives us and accompanies me for a visit.”

“And if I don’t forgive, what will you do?” Tang Xin said it with a half-smile.

There’s only one level seven in the whole Huangsha Star. In other words, no matter who comes, they can’t stop her from using her medicinal powder.

Uncle Su sighed lightly. “Then Miss Tang will have to bear with us. I’ll carry you back. Level seven martial artists aren’t considered light or heavy. Miss Tang will inevitably suffer a bit.”

Tang Xin’s smile froze on her face.

Why was she so unlucky? If it weren’t for a level seven, she could escape, but unfortunately, the only level seven on the entire planet was standing in front of her.

She suddenly thought of Murphy’s Law.

Uncle Su tilted his head slightly, speaking with a profound tone, “Young man, it’s not easy to cultivate such martial skills at such a young age. Step aside; don’t hurt yourself. You’re no match for this old man.”

Yan Hao responded calmly, “There are only guards who die in battle; there is no cowardly retreat.”

Knowing it’s impossible but still doing it?

Uncle Su shook his head. Young people were naive, thinking that by putting in effort, their small universe could burst forth and lead to victory. Little did they know that the higher the level of martial artists, the greater the difference in power with each level.

Tang Xin remained silent for a while, gently nudged Yan Hao, and whispered, “Two people won’t be able to escape. He only wants to keep me. Find an opportunity and leave quickly. One escaping is better than none.”

Leaving her behind to escape, what kind of person did her master take him for?

Yan Hao gazed deeply at her, as if wanting to imprint her appearance in his mind, and gently said, “We made a pact. I faithfully served as your guard for three years, and then you released me. Until the end of the three years, I have to protect you every single day.”

Tang Xin was stunned, then looked pained. “Why do you have to…”

“Even if there’s a dragon’s den or a tiger’s lair in front of us, we must try to face it together,” Yan Hao insisted.

Uncle Su inexplicably felt a toothache, and his knees almost gave out.

Feeling this way, he thought that if he didn’t speak up soon, his knees might start aching too.

So, with a stern face, he earnestly said, “The master is unwell. We just invited Miss Tang to take a look. There’s no life-threatening danger. After Miss Tang examines it, if it’s incurable, I will immediately escort you back home. Please rest assured.”

What he feared the most was that she could cure it, and there was no life-threatening danger, but she would be confined to a small, dark room.

Tang Xin thought to herself that Uncle Su probably didn’t know she was an expert in playing word games.

“Please lead the way.” Knowing that she couldn’t escape, she simply accepted reality.

“This way, please.” Uncle Su smiled, pointing the way, and then waited on the side.

Uncle Su was worried that if he led the way, the two of them might launch a surprise attack on him?

Tang Xin felt disheartened; she had indeed thought of doing that.

As long as she could win, she didn’t care what means she used. Unfortunately, the opponent was prepared even for such details.

Unable to escape, Tang Xin simply followed the directions given by the other side.

Yan Hao closely followed.

Uncle Su stayed at the back.

Tang Xin, with things on her mind, walked and pondered.

In times of trouble, true feelings are revealed. Unexpectedly, Yan Hao was willing to accompany her all the way. Even in the face of danger, he refused to leave.

Tang Xin thought that although she advised Yan Hao to leave, if he had really left at that time, Tang Xin admitted to herself that she wouldn’t have forgiven him.

Despite heading to the Yun family, Tang Xin was not in a hurry. According to Uncle Su, it was just a trip. She would take a quick look, say she couldn’t heal the ailment, and that would be the end of it.

Even if Uncle Su changed his mind on the spot, requesting treatment for his master, the attitude towards the pharmacist wouldn’t be bad.

On the other hand, Yan Hao’s problem was more complicated. How would she face him in the future?
