Chapter 49 -48: Poor Young Master Jing_1

So terrifying.

The mood of the crowd was no longer as relaxed as when they first entered, falling into anxious glances exchanged between them.

No matter what, they had to strive for this finale; such a dangerous substance, if it fell into the hands of their adversaries, their families…

“Actually…” Mu Lin’s voice rang out again, instinctively drawing everyone’s attention towards her.

“Although Hades is a poison, it is colorless and odorless. Even if a person is poisoned, most people wouldn’t be able to tell and would just assume that the person had simply passed in their sleep.” Death in slumber.

This Hades could indeed be used for euthanization, it’s just that its components were too valuable and she was reluctant to part with them.

Of course, the herbal medicine required to create the antidote was even more precious, otherwise she wouldn’t still be trying to concoct it up till now.

On hearing Mu Lin’s words, everyone promptly took out their cell phones and started making calls home, discussing the gravity of the matter; this situation definitely wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

Observing the anxiety of the crowd, Mu Lin didn’t completely believe that the grand finale item would indeed be the real Hades. If someone with a specific intention did get their hands on it, would they really use it?

She didn’t believe it.

And so, her phoenix-like eyes narrowed, Mu Lin remained silent.

…

After finishing up their calls, they all returned to Mu Lin’s side.

“I borrowed your reputation for a bit.” Jing Youlan shook his phone slightly, explaining his actions apologetically; he couldn’t help it, his family didn’t trust him.

Mu Lin raised an eyebrow.

“Don’t worry, it’s not that reputation.” Jing Youlan softly laughed, casually draping an arm around Mu Lin’s shoulders, mirroring the perfect picture of brotherly camaraderie.

However, at the same moment.

A flash of cold light from a narrow blade shot past his eyes. He took a step back, leaning onto Ji Shubai, his eyes wide with shock, on the brink of tears.

Everyone present shook their heads in exasperation; this guy’s moments of being a fool were coming at an alarming rate. As for his two female companions, they looked just as astonished as if they were seeing Jing Youlan for the first time, their gazes filled with a myriad of complex emotions as they looked at Mu Lin.

“Next time, don’t come near me casually, or else your brethren will be ashamed for life.” Ensuring he’d be left thinking with his brain, not elsewhere.

Her gaze carelessly swept over a certain part of his body, making him shiver and quickly cover himself defensively.

His dad was still counting on him to carry on the family line.

Everyone burst into laughter, showing no sympathy. Although the anticipated excitement had been averted, this spectacle was still entertaining to watch. Although they now understood one of the taboos associated with Mu Lin, it was quite understandable given that girls shouldn’t easily let people close to them. Mu Lin was not in the wrong here, it was all his own fault.

Without any hesitation, they all sided with Mu Lin, completely ignoring the pitiful individual.

The man in question was on the verge of tears.

However, the man was oblivious of the fact that due to his little action today, he would be severely punished by a certain person in his family in the future. Until then, Jing Youlan remained clueless as to when he had offended the strict disciplinarian in his family. If he had known, he would have stayed far away from Mu Lin! No, even farther away! He definitely would not dare to cross the line!

…

At 7:30 in the evening, the auction at the top floor of the Imperial City Club began on time.

The first item on offer was a fist-sized, pink Night Pearl. Its girlish charm was irresistible to the women present; the ladies who had accompanied their partners expressed their adoration openly. Even the affluent young ladies were smitten, bidding fervently for it.

Although some don’t prefer pink, this pink Night Pearl simply felt much more valuable, rare and precious compared to the pure white ones. This was precisely why the club had selected this Night Pearl for the auction’s opening.

The two women beside Jing Youlan were delighted at the sight of the Night Pearl and coveted it. However, they didn’t dare to voice their desire out loud, as they understood how valuable the item was. As they were deep in thought, an appropriate voice sounded at their ears.

“Mu Lin, this seems to be a good item. Would you like it? If yes, what if I bid for it and present it to you?”

The two women were astounded, and the feeling of jealousy once again overwhelmed them.

However.

“Are you asking me?” Mu Lin responded with a teasing smile.

Shrugging in acknowledgment, Jing Youlan’s efforts remained unappreciated as Mu Lin simply smiled.

“Don’t bother, I don’t fancy that thing up there. Besides, I have plenty of such things at home.” Even though none of them were pink, the Night Pearls were aplenty at her home. Mu Lin couldn’t help but wonder where her master had gotten all these items from. Just by going around treating people for free and ending up out of pocket for medicine, she doubted he even had the money to afford these things.

Mu Lin was skeptical. That was because some items at her home, along with the silver needles she currently had, made her question the identity of her master before he had adopted her.

And also, his death couldn’t possibly be that simple. It was just unfortunate that she hadn’t been able to find any leads.

…

Plenty of these!

At hearing Mu Lin’s indifferent tone, everybody exchanged looks.

But they didn’t believe her! Although they acknowledged that Mu Lin might be very rich, the Night Pearl wasn’t a common item. There were only a few of them in the world. When Mu Lin mentioned “plenty,” what did she mean by “plenty?” Or was she just casually stating.

“You don’t believe it?” Seeing the skeptical looks of everyone, Mu Lin raised her eyebrows, and then curved her lips, “If you have the chance, I’ll give you a few.” As for now, most of them might probably be in her pet Qiaozi’s nest, being played with.

It seemed that Qiaozi was quite fond of these items. Even though he was a male, he strangely liked these things. Tsk.
