Once they left the auction house, Ye Qing Huan didn’t seem to be in a rush anymore.
The way that she strolled casually in the streets after leaving the auction house was as if she didn’t feel there was a problem at all.
But it wasn’t the same for Lin Fan.
Lin Fan knew that after putting on such a large display, there was no doubt that there would be people with other thoughts. These people wouldn’t have kind intentions towards them or the items that they bid for.
So now was the most dangerous time for them.
Especially since this was a black market auction.
It was even more dangerous than a normal auction.
It was just that the way that Ye Qing Huan acted, it didn’t seem like she cared about any of this at all.
Or rather it seemed like she didn’t feel like she was in danger at all.
Lin Fan knew that Ye Qing Huan had many tricks up her sleeves, but he also had to remind her…
“The Heavenly Demon Sect shouldn’t be acting at a time like this. If the Heavenly Demon Sect acts, you should know what the other Five Great Sects will think.”
Ye Qing Huan looked at him with a smile on her face as if she wasn’t concerned by what he said at all. The way that she looked at him, it was like she thought that he was cute with how worried he was.
That just made Lin Fan knit his brows even more.
Ye Qing Huan didn’t keep teasing him though as she said, “You don’t have to worry, I’ve already taken care of everything.”
Lin Fan raised a brow when he heard this, but seeing how confident Ye Qing Huan looked when she said this…he had no choice but to trust in her.
She had controlled the situation in the palm of her hands the entire time, so she must also have some idea of what to do now.
Seeing the look on Lin Fan’s face, Ye Qing Huan suddenly said, “Don’t you want to know why I did all of that in the first place?”
Lin Fan was surprised to hear this, but he didn’t say anything right away.
He calmly looked at Ye Qing Huan as if he was trying to figure out what she was trying to do, but she just kept looking at him with the same smile on her face. It was as if she wouldn’t let him figure anything out from her expression alone no matter what happened.
So with a sigh, Lin Fan said, “Why?”
Ye Qing Huan’s smile became wider as if she was waiting for this.
She tapped a finger on her chin before saying, “I really wonder why I did all of this.”
The way that she said this was as if she really wanted to play with him.
Lin Fan shook his head with a bitter smile hearing this.
He couldn’t help thinking of just how much Ye Qing Huan had changed since he had first met her. Though thinking about it, perhaps this was her real personality and the one that he met before was just an act.
Perhaps this was how she acted around people that she trusted enough to show her real self.
Since she wanted to play like this, Lin Fan said with a sigh, “Why did you do all of this? I really want to know.”
The tone that he said this in wasn’t really sincere, but Ye Qing Huan didn’t care since that wasn’t the reason why she had done all of this in the first place.
She had done this to distract him.
Now that he was playing along, it was safe to say that he was distracted from the things that he was talking about before.
“That other VIP guest that kept threatening us, who do you think he was?” Ye Qing Huan said with the same smile on her face, but this time…Lin Fan couldn’t keep the same look on his face.
He immediately knitted his brows the moment that he heard this and he looked at Ye Qing Huan as if he was trying to figure out what her goal was.
But he wasn’t able to tell a single thing from Ye Qing Huan’s expression.
So in the end, he shook his head with a sigh.
Instead of keeping him in suspense this time, Ye Qing Huan calmly said, “The Mo Family.”
Lin Fan revealed a confused look when he heard this.
Even though she had stated it clearly, it wasn’t as if he had any idea of what this family was or who the young master was just on this alone. Without knowing more about this ‘Mo Family’, he really wasn’t able to understand what she meant by this.
Ye Qing Huan could see the look on his face, but she didn’t explain what she meant by this.
It was a completely different method of teasing, but it was just as effective as the teasing that she had done before. No, it could be said that it was even more effective than before since it made him even more curious.
Her method this time was to feed him a tiny bit of information that he wouldn’t understand, which would hook him even more. It would make Lin Fan more curious and want to find out what she meant by this, which teased him more effectively than telling him nothing.
Finally, Ye Qing Huan said, “If you give me a kiss, then maybe I’ll be willing to tell you.”
A bitter smile appeared on Lin Fan’s lips when he heard this.
It was almost as if this was the real reason why she had teased him all this time. It was as if she was building up to this all along.
Lin Fan just looked at her as if he was trying to figure out if Ye Qing Huan was being serious or not, but Ye Qing Huan still had the same smile on her face as if she wasn’t bothered by this look at all.
Though at the same time, Lin Fan could see a trace of seriousness in her eyes.
It was as if she was serious about this proposal.
Seeing this, Lin Fan once again shook his head with another sigh before moving forward towards Ye Qing Huan.
She was surprised by his sudden movements, but she was even more surprised when he suddenly brought her mask down a bit. This covered her eyes a bit, but she could see him move his lips up to her forehead and she felt the soft touch of his lips.
Once Lin Fan was done, he moved back to say, “I think that should be enough for now.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to do it, it was just that it was embarrassing doing it in front of everyone in the black market like this. Especially when they were the center of attention because of the gold rimmed black masks that they wore.
Ye Qing Huan was dazed for a few seconds before suddenly saying, “I’ll take it for now.”
She turned away slightly when she said this, as if she was acting tough, but it was hard to hide that her ears had turned red.
When she calmed down, Ye Qing Huan said, “The Mo Family is one of the families of the Moon Flower Sect.”
“Huh?” Lin Fan was shocked to hear this, but his brain also quickly turned as he connected the pieces.
“Then you mean…they wanted the Moon Gazing Flower for…” His voice drifted off, but the implications were clear.
“That’s right.” Ye Qing Huan said with a nod before continuing, “It would have been used in that array that they are setting up on the mountain.”
Lin Fan let out a sigh, but this time it was a sigh of relief.
As expected, Ye Qing Huan really had everything in the palm of her hands.
It seemed that she already knew everything and had acted that way because it was the best way to get what she wanted. It was the best way to make sure that the enemies didn’t get what they needed.
Now that the Moon Gazing Flower was in their hands, it shouldn’t be a problem for them later on.
Ye Qing Huan revealed a faint smile when she saw his expression before saying, “You shouldn’t feel that relieved just yet. We still have to bring this Moon Gazing Flower out of this place. You were the one that said it before, this is the most dangerous moment.”
Lin Fan knitted his brows once more after hearing this, but he also quickly calmed himself down and raised his guard. The moment that he did, he couldn’t help realizing that something was off.
Though there were still people that were around them, it seemed like there were less than before. At the same time, it seemed like even the stores had less people in them.
It was almost as if there was something keeping people away.
As for the people that were still there, though they looked at their gold rimmed black mask, it seemed like they were also looking for something else from time to time.
It seemed that they were paying attention to them for the wrong reasons.
Ye Qing Huan saw this and said with the same smile, “That’s right, we’re completely surrounded.”
A trace of bitterness appeared on Lin Fan’s lips, but he just said, “Then what should we do?”
Ye Qing Huan tilted her head as she said back to me, “That’s a good question, what should we do about this?”
