Chapter 565: Miaoqiu’s Request
Miaoqiu’s red lips parted slightly; she wanted to explain but didn’t know how to.
She was not lacking in intelligence, nor in emotional intelligence, otherwise, she wouldn’t have become the manager of the Celestial Dragon Hotel, dealing with various high society people.
If men were bees, she would certainly be the flower that attracts the most bees.
Being able to retreat unscathed from such an environment, how could she not be clever?
Therefore, Miaoqiu naturally knew she shouldn’t try to test Lin Tian, as that is a very impolite behavior.
But if she didn’t test him a bit, how could she be at ease?
This was really a last resort.
"I apologize for my behavior. But I still hope you listen to me finish speaking, and then decide, okay? Even if you don’t plan to help me, listening won’t hurt you, right?" Miaoqiu gazed at Lin Tian’s profile, unable to decipher this man.
If it were another man, he would have nodded long ago, wouldn’t he? There’s no need to coax and deceive like this.
Lin Tian thought for a moment, realizing what she said wasn’t wrong, "Then go ahead, anyway, I don’t mind spending a bit of time. My wife knows that if I were to do anything with you, this bit of time is surely not enough... I’m quite enduring."
How could Miaoqiu not understand the implication in Lin Tian’s words, instantly wanting to bite him hard in embarrassment.
This person is such a rogue!
With Lin Tian interrupting like that, Miaoqiu’s mind became cluttered; she organized her thoughts before saying, "This matter is related to the Ancient Martial Families Auction. You should know about this auction, right?"
Lin Tian was secretly surprised, and then instantly realized that Miaoqiu had Spiritual Qi around her and knew about the Ancient Martial the Wang Family. So knowing about the Ancient Martial Families Auction wasn’t surprising.
Suddenly, Lin Tian became interested; he had always hoped to learn more details about the auction from Chen Moxiang but couldn’t reach her and didn’t know how her task was progressing.
"The Ancient Martial Families Auction is actually not much different from regular auctions. But what’s sold are cultivation technique manuals, Dan prescriptions, Dan medicine, and the like. There may also be treasures that help increase one’s cultivation power. However, such items are extremely rare, perhaps appearing once every dozen years."
Lin Tian suddenly interrupted: "If I have prescriptions and Dan formulas, can I sell them?"
Miaoqiu asked with her mouth open in surprise, "Selling prescriptions I can understand, but you even want to sell Dan formulas?"
"Can’t I?"
"It’s not that you can’t... It’s just that Dan formulas are extremely precious. The families regard them as treasures and wouldn’t sell them easily unless absolutely necessary. That’s really too wasteful."
"So these things are easy to sell?"
"Of course," Miaoqiu affirmed confidently. "And they can be sold for astronomical prices, beyond what money can measure, because those in the Ancient Martial Families aren’t lacking in money."
Lin Tian’s lips curled into a smug smile.
Is this money too easy to earn? I don’t even know how many Dan prescriptions are in my brain; selling a tiny bit could probably scare those family members to death?
"If you have Dan formulas to sell, I hope you can sell them to me," Miaoqiu said eagerly.
"The price you offer, can it be as high as that in the marketplace?" Lin Tian asked indifferently.
"I can, but... I need to discuss it with my family," Miaoqiu said.
"Then let’s talk after you discuss with your family."
"..."
Faced with this person who wouldn’t budge no matter what, Miaoqiu knew there was no point in pestering Lin Tian about Dan formulas, as he certainly wouldn’t give in. It would be better to bring it up later.
Miaoqiu gazed at the starry sky and said, "Let’s leave the Dan formula matter for later. I want to invite you to accompany me to the auction and steal some spirit medicine out. Not much, just a few types."
She spoke casually, as if it were a simple matter.
Lin Tian immediately sat upright, furious, and exclaimed, "Are you crazy? Steal stuff there?"
It’s really hard to blame Lin Tian for being agitated. He learned from Chen Moxiang before that not only one family holds the auction; it’s organized by all family members united, among them many masters. Trying to steal something would definitely be like a mouse licking a cat’s nose—courting death!
Lin Tian had confronted Wang Yi and Wang Lin of the Ancient Martial the Wang Family; had he not pulled out his gun at the end, who knows what the consequence might have been.
Those two aren’t the top masters in the Ancient Martial Families; surely there are those more formidable than them.
At that time, all those people gathered together, stealing under their eyes?
Are you tired of living?
"Don’t rush, just listen to me. With me and you, we’ll definitely succeed!" Miaoqiu said confidently, her eyes shining brightly, as if nothing in the world could stop her.
Lin Tian looked at her like looking at a fool.
Where does this girl get her confidence?
"You must have sensed earlier that my eyes can confuse people’s minds. This is our unique Heart Method from the Ancient Martial the Xu Family. In the world, no one can decipher it. But you... startled me, I actually couldn’t throw you off."
Miaoqiu looked at Lin Tian and said.
"You’re saying that for me to be confused by you is considered normal?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and asked.
Miaoqiu nodded, "That’s right."
"Are you a vixen?"
"Other families say this about us," Miaoqiu said with a damp hand covering her alluring thin red lips, smiling. Her every move was full of seduction, causing Lin Tian to lose count on how many times he had been teased.
"Our Xu Family has always been called vixens. It’s not derogatory but complimentary. Because our power is immense. Other families, unless absolutely necessary, dare not provoke us and instead please us. Because our enchantment, no one can break it... You’re the first."
Miaoqiu said with a bit of pride, "So with my ability, your skills, plus Zhou Mi’s plan, we’ll definitely succeed."
"..." Lin Tian still couldn’t quite understand, scratching his head and asked, "But, why should I help you?"
"Because the spirit medicines we steal, I’ll only keep two flavors; the rest, however many there are, will all be yours. As long as you help me!"
Miaoqiu looked at him with shining eyes. Being watched by such a beauty, it seemed hard to refuse.
But Lin Tian still shook his head in refusal. Because Dan formulas are so valuable; selling some randomly, what medicine couldn’t be bought? Moreover, he had a herbal company acquired from the Wang Family; why steal?
"Just two types of medicine; can’t you just buy them yourselves? Why resort to stealing?" Lin Tian asked, puzzled.
"Because... those two kinds of medicine are too precious! They won’t sell them!" Miaoqiu raised her head and sighed softly.
