Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 468: Inappropriate

The old man could not figure out how noble the other’s identity could be.

After all, in his understanding, the noblest person was probably Mr. Song from Gubei Town.

He had never even left Gubei Town, so how would he know who might be nobler than Mr. Song?

Xia Mian had not been in Gubei Town for long when Xia Weizhang rushed back from outside, but Xie Chengming, who was also guarding the auction house, was unable to return.

Since being recruited by Xia Mian, Xie Chengming had been collecting treasures outside to show his loyalty.

He dared to venture into some deadly Secret Realms and relied on the auction house frequently receiving strange treasures to ensure he had some life-saving trump cards, which made him take risks.

It was precisely because of Xie Chengming’s dedication that better treasures occasionally appeared in the auction house.

After Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan returned to the auction house, they still didn’t see Xie Chengming, prompting Xia Mian to ask Xia Weizhang about Xie Chengming’s whereabouts.

Xia Weizhang did not hide anything and reported Xie Chengming’s recent behavior and latest movements to Xia Mian.

"How long has he been gone?" Xia Mian lightly furrowed her brows.

When she first recruited Xie Chengming, she thought he was a decent person with good abilities and had no intention of having him risk his life for her.

But now, Xie Chengming’s reckless approach made her feel uneasy.

It’s not easy to venture into those deadly Secret Realms.

One careless move, and it’s easy to lose one’s life.

The Mystical World has many great clans that remain hidden, and the ancient monsters from these clans, even if dead, leave behind remnants that ordinary people cannot contend with.

"This time, it’s been a while, already half a month." Xia Weizhang pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

Previously, Xie Chengming had never been missing for half a month.

"Miss Xia, I’ll send someone to look for him," Xia Weizhang noticed the situation was dire and promptly offered.

But Xia Mian shook her head, "No need, tell me exactly where he went, and I’ll go with Lu Zechuan to take a look."

After a pause, Xia Mian added, "And relax a bit."

Upon hearing this, Xia Weizhang was speechless for a long time.

Are these two getting married?

The wedding is in three days, right?

Which couple planning to marry would go to the Secret Realm for relaxation?!

While Lu Zechuan also had some helplessness in his eyes, there was more affection.

Such a place as the Secret Realm, he and Xia Mian truly had not visited before.

"Miss Xia, can’t we postpone it for a few days?" Xia Weizhang frowned, disapproving of Xia Mian’s actions.

The Divine Clan and Wood Clan had been preparing for Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan’s wedding for a long time, and seeing that the date was set and invitations were sent to the Hundred Families, now these two wanted to venture into a deadly Secret Realm?

Isn’t this messing around?

If they don’t return by their wedding day, wouldn’t the two clans become a laughingstock in the Mystical World?

Xia Mian squinted her eyes slightly, unable to reply before Xia Weizhang spoke again, "If Miss Xia is concerned about Xie Chengming’s safety, I can go find him."

Implying that Xia Mian didn’t need to personally take the risk.

Xia Mian pondered for a while before saying, "Let’s postpone it for two days."

Let’s resolve their major issues first, and then look for Xie Chengming.

Listening to Xia Mian’s words, Lu Zechuan let out a sigh of relief.

If Xia Mian was adamant about going, he would definitely accompany her.

Then whether they would return before the set wedding date, he truly had no idea.

"Go to the Divine Clan and find a few people with higher cultivation to support Xie Chengming," Xia Mian thought briefly and still felt something was amiss.

Xia Weizhang nodded, "Alright."

Xie Chengming had indeed been away for a long time this time.

Originally, Xia Weizhang didn’t think much of it, but after being pointed out by Xia Mian, he finally realized something was wrong.

Xia Mian instructed Xia Weizhang a few words, then planned to leave the auction house with Lu Zechuan.

"Miss Xia, it’s already late; why not stay here tonight!" Xia Weizhang invited, "It’s just right; tonight there’s an auction, and Miss Xia can personally oversee it and see the current auction situation."

Xia Mian thought about it, where she stayed wasn’t too important, so she gently nodded.

The auction house covered a large area, and after Xia Weizhang took over, he specifically created many places for people to live.

After all, he planned to live here long-term, and the auction house often hosted guests who didn’t want to reveal their identities, offering them a place to stay was also one of the advantages of establishing long-term cooperation with guests. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Xia Weizhang arranged for attendants to lead Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan to the master bedroom he specifically reserved for Xia Mian.

The master bedroom was noticeably different from the guest rooms; the furnishings and materials used to build the master bedroom were much more luxurious than those in the guest rooms.

After Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan entered the room, it wasn’t long before Xia Weizhang arranged for someone to send some of Gubei Town’s specialty snacks to them.

Xia Mian looked at the foods rich in real-world characteristics on the tray, her mind slightly moved, "These look quite good."

Lu Zechuan laughed, "They also smell good."

Xia Mian picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth; it melted instantly and indeed tasted good.

Watching Xia Mian eat with crumbs all over her mouth, Lu Zechuan couldn’t help but find it amusing, "Eat slowly, no one is competing with you."

Xia Mian’s mouth was full of pastry, cheeks puffed like a hamster, but her eyes were bright and intense, "You eat!"

Before others, Xia Mian always appeared calm and aloof, but only in front of him would she reveal her true nature.

Lu Zechuan followed suit and picked up a piece of pastry to taste.

Probably because the ingredients differ from the real world, the taste of pastries in the Mystical World is indeed a bit different.

Sweet but not overwhelming, with a fragrant taste that leaves one longing.

Lu Zechuan squinted his eyes, thinking it might be worth hiring a pastry chef in the future.

After they finished eating the pastries, Xia Weizhang sent someone over to invite Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan to the auction.

He said the evening auction was about to start.

The two didn’t delay and followed the person sent by Xia Weizhang to the auction house.

Unlike the first time at the auction house, this time Xia Mian sat in the VIP seat reserved for the owner.

This seat was on the top floor of the VIP room; from this position, one could see the entire scene of the auction house.

Xia Mian noticed that after Xia Weizhang took over the auction house, the order of auctions had improved quite a bit.

Xia Weizhang put a lot of effort into details; all auction participants must hand over their weapons before entering and sign a fair-bidding Contract to ensure the auction proceeds fairly and orderly.
