Chapter 635: Chapter 635 Strange Guh Siqi (8)

Turning around, she looked at the man appearing at the terrace door, and a hint of interest flashed in An Yiqing’s watery eyes.

"Young Master Guh, I hope you’ve been well."

Without a doubt, this man was the Second Young Master Guh, Guh Siqi.

Upon hearing An Yiqing’s courteous greeting, Guh Siqi remained silent, just standing there and quietly staring at her with a complex look in his eyes.

An Yiqing also silently watched Guh Siqi, her sharp intuition telling her that this man seemed somewhat different from before.

A moment later

"Miss An, my second sister died. Do you know who did it?" Guh Siqi’s gaze was firmly fixed on An Yiqing, and the nonchalant smile was no longer on his face.

An Yiqing’s brows rose slightly, revealing an amused smile, "Young Master Guh, I regret the death of Second Miss Guh, but as for who did it, I really have no idea."

She slowly rose to her feet and leisurely walked onto the terrace. Facing the cool breeze of spring, she gazed into the distance and said in a meaningful whisper, "After all, society is so complex. There are many who would fight amongst themselves and slaughter their kin for gain. How could I possibly guess who is responsible for Second Miss Guh’s death?"

As if An Yiqing had touched on his most sensitive nerve, Guh Siqi’s chest tightened, and he found himself unable to say anything further.

He opened his attractive eyes wide, gazing deeply at the clever woman before him who was smiling so radiantly, with a profound bitterness rising in his heart.

After a long moment, Guh Siqi withdrew his gaze from An Yiqing and smiled bitterly, shaking his head, "Yes, Miss An, you are right. Nowadays, there are many who would fight amongst themselves and slaughter their kin. Compared to those selfish people, Miss An, you are merely protecting yourself."

He let out a sigh and took a deep look at the woman beside him, speaking softly, "Do you know? When my second sister died, I did hate you for a bit. But then again, what did you do wrong? From beginning to end, you have been an innocent person."

He paused, slowly closing his eyes, fiercely suppressing the bitterness within them, "Miss An, the Guh Family is much more complicated than you think, and even more twisted than you imagine. My grandfather... If possible, I hope that you can leave him a whole corpse in the future."

An Yiqing’s eyes flickered slightly, her gaze towards Guh Siqi seeming to gain an added depth.

"Are you so sure that I can kill Guh Tian?"

"No, I’m not certain," Guh Siqi shook his head, his eyes looking lost into the distance, "The core of the Guh Family has long been rotten. A family like that might as well be destroyed. If one day, someone can deliver the most fatal blow to the Guh Family, perhaps it would be the best release for everyone in the family."

An Yiqing remained silent, expressing everything with her silence.

Guh Siqi turned around, and looking at her stunning face, he said softly, "Miss An, within the Guh Family, Guh Tian is definitely not the most ruthless. Be careful."

Her eyes sharpening, An Yiqing’s perceptive gaze fell upon Guh Siqi, meeting his meaningful eyes.

Watching the carefree man’s retreating figure, An Yiqing’s brows furrowed slightly, her mind constantly pondering his last words.

In the Guh Family, Guh Tian is definitely not the most ruthless!

An Yiqing’s eyes narrowed coldly, the Guh Family, who else could it be?

Two days had flown by, and the exhibition by Yuyuanzhai had become the talk of Xuandu City, with everyone discussing the top-quality glass types of jadeite and those even more elite, the kings of jadeite, that had appeared at the exhibition.

This lavish event was unprecedented in Xuandu!

In just two days, Yuyuanzhai had once again become the hottest topic in not only Xuandu but also Xuanjin, and had even started to gain some attention abroad.

The third day, the most important day of the Yuyuanzhai exhibition, was also the day all the distinguished and influential guests had been eagerly anticipating.

The auction!

Today, Yuyuanzhai would auction off two Ink Jade Pendants, three Red Jade Pendants, and one Jade Spirit as the finale treasures of the exhibition!

Thus, many guests who had not visited the exhibition in the previous days attended the auction in full regalia, all hoping to secure the Jade Spirit, rumored to prolong life.

The allure of such extraordinary treasures was immeasurable. Although the auction was originally scheduled to start at five in the evening, guests began to trickle into the auction hall as early as half-past three.

This time, many new faces appeared, including some foreigners who hadn’t been seen in the previous days.

Everyone was there for the Jade Spirit, each eager to claim the rare treasures for their own.

As time slowly passed, the number of people in the auction hall gradually increased. Everyone casually found seats and settled down, waiting for the auction to begin.

On the second floor of the auction hall, in a VIP box, Gu Yelin, Bai Yiming, Duan Tang, and the An Family Brothers were lounging on sofas, watching every move on the first floor through one-way glass.

This VIP box was a special feature of the auction house, equipped with a piece of colored glass at the front. To those outside, it appeared to be just an ordinary mirror, but from within the box, the spectators could see everything happening outside clearly and in detail.

As the number of people in the first-floor hall continued to grow, An Zhihang, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up leisurely and walked to the one-way glass.

Suddenly, he looked around, his brows furrowing in confusion.

"What’s wrong?" An Zhiyan, noticing his older brother’s troubled expression, asked with concern.

"Nothing much, I just feel like someone is watching me..." An Zhihang’s dark eyes dimmed, puzzled.

Bai Yiming and Duan Tang both showed surprise at An Zhihang’s words.

With their skills, they were of course aware that someone was surveilling the auction. Although their ancient martial arts abilities did not match the freakish level of Gu Yelin, Duan Tang, as the Family Head of the Muyun Society, had reached the Mid-Level Innate Realm. And Bai Yiming, although not a disciple of an Ancient Martial Arts Family, had trained with the Gu Family brothers from a young age and had nonchalantly reached the Innate Initial Stage.

With their capabilities, they could certainly detect the presence of some hidden individuals. But how did An Zhihang, who lacked Inner Breath, notice?

Bai Yiming and Duan Tang did not yet know that the An Family had all been turned into Ancient Martial Artists by An Yiqing, nor did they know that An Zhihang’s skills had reached the Great Achievement Mid-Level.

While everyone was still puzzling over this, the door was gently pushed open, and An Yiqing and Zhang Yuksheng entered from outside.

"Big brother, second brother, there’s no need to worry, they’re my men," An Yiqing said softly with a knowing smile, "I was worried there might be thieves, so I had Ah Feng and the others hide in the shadows."
