“Ta, ta, ta.”
There was the sound of footsteps that rang out through the night before the one that these footsteps belonged to revealed themself.
Though they walked out of the cover of the night, Young Master Mo still wasn’t able to see their true appearance since they had covered themself in a cloak.
After walking a few steps forward, this cloaked figure stopped in front of Young Master Mo and asked, “Do you know why you’ve been spared?”
Young Master Mo couldn’t help trembling when he heard this voice.
This was a voice that was devoid of any warmth.
This was a voice that was like being thrown into a bucket of ice.
It was a voice that was like the world had been frozen completely.
Young Master Mo wasn’t able to move a single inch after hearing this voice, he wasn’t even able to move his mouth to say anything as he was completely frozen in place.
It was like someone had locked him in ice as he couldn’t move a muscle in his body.
Finally, the cloaked figure raised their hand and said, “It’s because you still have your use.”
The cloaked figure didn’t seem to care that Young Master Mo was frozen in place as their hand came forward to grab Young Master Mo by the shoulder. Then in one swift movement, the cloaked figure turned Young Master Mo on his side and lifted him up.
The way that he carried Young Master Mo was like he was carrying some kind of luggage.
Young Master Mo wasn’t able to do a single thing as he could only allow this cloaked figure to pick him up like this. He was like a log in the arm of the cloaked figure, being carried like an object.
The cloaked figure didn’t waste any time jumping forward.
The cloaked figure moved so fast that Young Master Mo wasn’t able to see much.
In between the steps where the cloaked figure slowed down, Young Master Mo could see different corpses and pools of blood. When he saw them, he recognized them immediately.
They were the ones that he had been working with.
The other VIP guests and even the group from the auction house.
It seemed like there wasn’t a single one of them who was still alive as they had all been slaughtered by this cloaked figure.
But that just made him even more confused.
After all, what reason did this cloaked figure have to spare him like this?
It would have been easy for the cloaked figure to kill him, Young Master Mo wasn’t foolish enough to not recognize this fact. After all, if the cloaked figure had wanted, they could have killed him earlier instead of just disarming him.
So where was this cloaked figure taking him?
At the same time, Young Master Mo knew that the cloaked figure was showing him all of this on purpose.
It was as if the cloaked figure wanted to put him in his place by showing him all of this.
It was as if the cloaked figure wanted to show him what would happen if he tried to resist.
But Young Master Mo didn’t have any intentions of resisting.
Young Master Mo wasn’t a fool, there was a reason why he had been chosen by the Mo Family to represent them at this auction. It wasn’t as if Young Master Mo was the only young master of the Mo Family in the first place.
This Young Master Mo was actually the third young master of the Mo Family, the one that everyone looked down on.
Since they looked down on him, he was someone that had to earn his place.
So even though he acted rash, he was actually someone with deeper thoughts.
His mind was turning as he tried to figure out a way to get out of this alive.
But he wasn’t able to think of a plan before arriving at their destination.
When they arrived, Young Master Mo was shocked to see where he was brought.
Standing in front of him were two people wearing the gold rimmed black mask and they were people that he recognized with a single glance.
That was because these two were the targets that everyone had been aiming for this time.
It was Ye Qing Huan and Lin Fan.
When Lin Fan saw the cloaked figure appear with Young Master Mo, he couldn’t help being surprised.
He didn’t recognize either of them, but he could tell from the way that the cloaked figure looked at Ye Qing Huan that he was subservient to her. It seemed like this cloaked figure was one of the experts that was under Ye Qing Huan.
Once the cloaked figure stopped, they didn’t hesitate to throw Young Master Mo to the ground before moving away.
Young Master Mo was very confused by this situation, but that didn’t mean that he wasn’t thinking about finding a way out of this. The way that his eyes kept darting back and forth made it clear that he was still trying to find a way to escape.
But then there was a look in his eyes that seemed a bit strange.
The way that he looked at Ye Qing Huan had changed.
It was almost as if he was acting a bit smug…
“Young miss, there are better ways to get my attention.”
The moment that he said this, Lin Fan immediately understood what he was thinking.
“What an idiot.”
That was the only thought that passed through Lin Fan’s mind when he heard this.
Though there was also a part of him that was annoyed by the way that Young Master Mo was acting. It made him slightly clench his fists as a part of him felt like he wanted to beat up this Young Master Mo.
But then he saw that Ye Qing Huan was looking at him with a faint smile on her lips.
The way that her lips moved made it clear what she was mouthing.
“Are you jealous?”
Lin Fan’s face couldn’t help turning a bit red when he was caught like this and he turned away from Ye Qing Huan.
She was happy seeing him like this, but…
“Hey, are you listening to me?”
Young Master Mo didn’t seem to see this clue at all as he only thought of himself.
He didn’t think that much of their actions since he was already certain of one thing.
That was just how strong his ego was.
When Ye Qing Huan turned back to look at Young Master Mo, he was about to say something when he suddenly felt a chill hit him. It was even stronger than the chill that he felt when the cloaked figure spoke.
He just couldn’t understand what he said wrong, but he felt that he should say something at least…
So he said the worst possible thing.
“There’s no need to be shy. If you just tell me honestly, I’ll be sure to accept you.”
“Ah!”
A scream of pain rang out as soon as his voice fell.
When Young Master Mo recovered from the pain and looked down, he found that all of his limbs had been severed and he had fallen to the ground. All of the stubs where his limbs had been connected to were burnt to prevent him from bleeding out.
This was clearly the work of someone who was skilled in this field of work.
“Ah! Do you know who I am? I am the young master of the Mo Family! Do you know who’s behind the Mo Family? The Moon Flower Sect!” At this point, Young Master Mo had completely lost control of his rationale and he was just blurting out whatever he felt would keep him alive.
But this was what Ye Qing Huan had been waiting for.
There was a faint smile that appeared on her lips as she said, “You think that the Moon Flower Sect scares me?”
“Huh?” Young Master Mo was surprised to hear this, but then he quickly said, “Don’t think that they won’t do anything! The Moon Flower Sect will surely act if you do anything to me! After all, I came on behalf of the Moon Flower Sect to get an item that they wanted from this auction! If you don’t hand it over and let me leave, they will come with their forces and take it from you! You won’t be able to escape!”
“Do your worst.” Ye Qing Huan said with the same faint smile on her face.
“Huh?” Young Master Mo was shocked to hear this as he looked at Ye Qing Huan in a daze.
He just couldn’t understand why this person didn’t fear the Moon Flower Sect…
After all, the Moon Flower Sect was a powerful sect that was even backed by the Five Great Sects. It was not a power that anyone could just ignore, much less taunt like this.
This person in front of him had to be either crazy or from some kind of power that could rival the Moon Flower Sect.
Young Master Mo just opened and closed his mouth as if he wanted to say a few things, but he wasn’t able to say a single word as he looked like a floundering fish opening and closing his mouth.
Ye Qing Huan didn’t care about him either as she turned to the cloaked figure to ask, “Did you record all of that?”
The cloaked figure gave a nod before pulling out a crystal that had been hidden in their cloak the entire time.
Seeing this, Ye Qing Huan’s smile became wider as she said, “Good, now we have no more use for him.”
