Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 289 still teaches this?

That's incredibly insulting.

Tiger Girl's temper flared up upon hearing this. "No, big sister, how can your mind be so dirty? Have you done so many things like this that you see everyone as this?"

Tiger Girl's mouth is even more venomous.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Li turned to look at her in surprise and exclaimed, "Tiger Girl, you're quite the talker!"

Tiger Girl proudly raised her chin.

"Of course, I've studied it after all!"

Have you studied this?

Xuan Li was somewhat puzzled.

Hanxi Auction House... teaches this?

She simply couldn't imagine how Steward Cai taught Tiger Girl and the others to swear; it was too surreal!

Then, Hu Ya said aggressively to Xue Yunhan, "I'm warning you, if you dare to slander the reputation of Hanxi Auction House, do you believe that the manager will ask the Xue family head for tea?"

You don't like drinking tea!?

Let's see who drinks in the end!

"you!"

Enraged, Xue Yunhan kicked each of her men, yelling, "You bunch of useless trash, what are you good for? Hurry up!"

One of the servants hesitated and said, "Young Miss, we can't break the rules of Hanxi Auction House!"

"Think about what the master often tells you..."

With the servant's prompting, Xue Yunhan slowly recalled her father's words.

"I don't care how much trouble you cause outside, but I'm warning you, in this Thousand Water City, if you encounter anyone from Hanxi Auction House, the City Lord's Mansion, Qingli Academy, or the Xu family, you'd better behave yourself!"

"If you cause trouble, you'll be responsible for it!"

She clenched her fists, finally saying with resentment, "You'd better never leave Hanxi Auction House again!"

"Not going out?"

Xuan Li smiled.

"What, you're thinking of stabbing me in the back?"

“Miss Xue, your behavior at my auction seems to disregard Hanxi’s rules.”

On the third floor, Manager Cai, who had just finished his business and was seeing off his guests, heard the commotion. He hadn't planned to come out himself, but when he heard the familiar voice, he was so frightened that he quickly came out!

Then I saw Xue Yunhan threatening Ruan Ling.

His expression turned slightly cold. "Or do you think you can challenge the authority of Hanxi Auction House?"

At this moment, Manager Cai's face was completely different from his usual smiling demeanor.

His tone was cold, and his sharp eyes resembled those of a superior, as if this was his truest self.

"I...I'm not..."

When Xue Yunhan saw Steward Cai, her face paled slightly. She quickly bowed and greeted him, explaining...

“Manager Cai, she stole my things and she won’t return them! I have no choice but to invite her to my residence as a guest. I don’t think that’s inappropriate!”

Xuan Li: "Your thing? Did you buy it? Do you have a contract with it?"

"You immediately claim it's yours? I'd say you stole it from me! After all, you saw how well the little one behaved in my arms~"

As she spoke, Xuan Li reached out and touched its head, and the other obediently let her touch it.

"you....."

Xue Yunhan was speechless for a moment, and couldn't find any words to refute.

Because this little animal really isn't hers!

At this moment, the man dressed in black in the corner stroked his chin and said in a puzzled tone, "This little beast, why does it look like the one at Puling Temple?"

The person next to me asked, "Do you know him?"

He frowned. "Judging by their appearance, they do look alike."

"The little beast at Puling Temple also had a connection with Buddhism. About half a month ago, at some unknown time, it appeared at the entrance of Puling Temple. When the master of the temple found it, it was on the verge of death and it was only with great difficulty that it was saved."

Someone glanced at it and chimed in, "It looks like it to me too. That little animal is very quiet and has a very good temper! It doesn't get angry no matter who touches it, let alone bite anyone!"

"I even fed it big bones before!"

"is it?"

Why would I lie to you?!

The man in black continued,

“From then on, pilgrims would often see it sleeping next to the Buddha statue. The monks in the temple would not drive it away, and sometimes pilgrims would even bring it some food.”

Xuan Li heard their conversation clearly. She got up and brought the little beast to the group. "Is this it?"

The fragrance of magnolia blossoms wafted over, making the man in black slightly uncomfortable. Upon seeing the little beast, he nodded, "It's it. I remember it; there was a plum blossom mark behind its ear."

Xuan Li examined its ear and indeed saw a hairless patch with a bright red plum blossom mark.

She looked at Xue Yunhan, "Didn't you say you were?"

Xue Yunhan glared at her fiercely, but didn't say anything.

Xuanli then said, "The Buddha can tolerate it, but you cannot. What is the reason for this?"

"You said it bit you, but where is the wound?"

She didn't want to pursue the matter before, but things are different now.

“I feel sorry for it and I don’t care that you lied. I wanted to buy it and settle things between you two, but you’re determined to kill it, and I can’t stand that.”

Xue Yunhan opened her mouth to defend herself.

"I didn't mean to kill it..."

Xuan Li revealed the crisscrossing whip marks on the little guy's back at just the right moment, "Are you telling me that these weren't done by you?"

"It's not even a spirit beast, how many lashes from your spirit weapon can it withstand?"
