Chapter 543: Chapter 540 Negotiation

As soon as Lin Tian entered the hall, Miss spotted him and called out discontentedly, "Lin Tian, as the owner of Tianxue Jewelry, where have you been? We couldn’t find you."

He glanced at Yun Xiaotian and Li Wenrong and said vaguely, "Had some things to take care of, will talk about it later."

Miss noticed his odd expression and her heart stirred, seeming to connect to something, so she didn’t ask further. But that little girl Xiao Manxuan still wanted to inquire and was quietly pulled back by her.

Lin Tian deliberately expressed surprise to Li Wenrong and the other, "Li Wenrong, Yun Xiaotian, the banquet has already ended, are you two staying to help us clean up?"

"Hmph, Auntie, my two cousins, and I haven’t seen each other for a long time, we stayed to catch up. Is there a problem with that? You’re the outsider here, still lingering around and seeming quite redundant!" Li Wenrong was already very displeased with Lin Tian and took this opportunity to belittle him as much as possible.

Moreover, when Li Wenrong made this comment, he also glanced at Yun Xiaotian, obviously including Yun Xiaotian in the ’redundant’ part.

Yun Xiaotian didn’t respond to him but turned to Lin Tian and said, "Brother Lin, remember to visit my place when you have time, my mom and dad will definitely like you. I’ll be leaving now, goodbye."

"Alright, I’ll surely visit when I’m free," Lin Tian agreed.

After getting Lin Tian’s assurance, Yun Xiaotian happily left, and the old man who had been hiding in some corner naturally appeared again, still trailing behind Yun Xiaotian.

"Yun Xiaotian has tactfully left, Mr. Lin, are you still planning to stay?" Li Wenrong asked with a smile, seemingly considering Yun Xiaotian’s departure as his own doing.

"Third Young Master Li, I see that your forehead is dark and your eyes are dull, an aura of mold is wrapped around you; you must have a disaster involving bloodshed awaiting you. Better hurry home and hide, don’t come out, or that disaster will surely be fulfilled. Don’t say I didn’t warn you." Lin Tian scrutinized Li Wenrong from top to bottom until he felt uneasy, then spoke with a serious face.

At this moment, Lin Tian was the spitting image of a charlatan, Miss was close to bursting out laughing, but with mom around, she had to hold it in. This jerk, so slick at deceiving young girls, now also seemed to lie glibly to men, she thought to herself.

"Lin Tian, stop pretending to conjure spirits here. Who’s scared of who? I, Third Young Master, have great fortune on my side. I see it’s you who’s surrounded by bad luck. Better stay away from the Xiao Family to avoid passing on your misfortune to the cousins," Li Wenrong retorted.

He clearly didn’t believe Lin Tian’s words, yet he still felt unnerved. People are like this, can’t stand hearing about bad luck from others, which is why many go to fortunetellers, essentially paying for sweet words.

Lin Tian gave him a glance and said with a smile, "Third Young Master Li, didn’t you see what happened to that man just now? His clothes inexplicably shredding, his pants coming off. If you insist on staying, such a mishap might befall you, and it would not be a pleasant experience."

"You..." Li Wenrong was embarrassed, the earlier incident was eerie, and to say he wasn’t scared would be a lie; he genuinely feared such an event happening to himself. It would become a joke within the circle, and for someone who cared so much about face, that would be worse than death.

"Auntie? Cousins, I have something to attend to, so I must leave now. I’ll come to visit another day." Li Wenrong said formally, a moment ago he’d been reluctant to leave, but now Lin Tian’s scare tactics had gotten to him.

He turned and left, giving Lin Tian a sidelong glance and a silent snort as he departed the banquet hall.

"Second Miss, your cousin is really amusing; who knows if his clothes would shred, might he go mad, hehe," Lin Tian glanced at Xiao Manxuan, implying something profound.

Xiao Manxuan knew that her instruction to Little Zi had been exposed, so she stuck out her tongue sheepishly. The Miss was also involved in this operation, her expression somewhat unnatural.

After all, tearing someone’s clothes in public doesn’t seem like something a CEO should do, but Lin Tian quietly gave her a thumbs up. It felt satisfying, and the Miss rolled her enticing eyes at her.

"Manxue, everyone is tired from the morning, rest well at noon, and prepare for the auction in the afternoon. Lin Tian, you should also go back to rest, you went to bed very late last night," Mrs. Xiao said, not mentioning her cousin Li Wenrong again, but instead addressing Xiao Manxuan and Lin Tian.

"Mom, you and Xuanxuan go rest first, I still have some things to discuss with Lin Tian," the Miss said.

Mrs. Xiao did not doubt anything else, nodded her head, and walked towards the door; Xiao Manxuan sneakily winked at Lin Tian, following Mrs. Xiao out.

After they were far away, Lin Tian finally spoke to the Miss, "Miss, do you have any other orders?"

"Hmph, don’t play dumb with me, you deliberately sent everyone away just now because you had something to say, didn’t you?" Xiao Manxue gave him a wry look and hummed lightly.

Lin Tian smiled and said, "The Miss is truly clever as snow, nothing can be hidden from you. Before that, I have a question for you, deciding to hold Tianxue Jewelry’s ceremony and auction in Japan probably aims to expand our company’s influence through this international jewelry design competition."

"But have you considered, one of the Xiao Family’s biggest enemies is from Japan? Holding the event on enemy territory, aren’t you afraid they might sabotage us? For instance, robbing the jade carvings during transport," Lin Tian said.

"Of course, I’ve thought about the problem you mentioned, so once our jade enters Japan, I will stay by the jade’s side throughout the entire process, not giving our enemies any chances," Xiao Manxue confidently stated.

Indeed, with Xiao Manxue on the threshold of Postnatal Perfection, longsword in hand, even Rossi would be no match for her, protecting the jade wouldn’t be difficult.

Lin Tian, however, shook his head and chuckled, "So, the Miss plans to personally escort the jade to the airport?"

Xiao Manxue nodded as if it were a matter of course, not seeing anything amiss. The strongest fighter in the Xiao Family was her, of course, not counting Lin Tian.

"With the Miss’s skills, I certainly believe the jade is safe, but have you considered taking advantage of this auction to achieve something even greater?" Lin Tian first affirmed her strength, then guided the conversation further.

"Something greater? Is that what you wanted to talk to me about just now?" The Miss asked with curiosity.

"That’s right, the situation is like this. As I mentioned last night, Ning Luoxi arrived in Japan Kyoto City in search of an antidote. Unfortunately, even after we fought the Gu Cultivator, we let them escape. Hence, she has devised a plan to capture the Gu Cultivator again, and the plan is as follows..." Lin Tian got straight to the point and shared the entire plan with the Miss.

The Miss was the second-largest shareholder of Tianxue Jewelry; she had the right to know the plan, and Lin Tian also trusted her unconditionally—of course, except for the secret that he was a zombie.

"You want to lure the snake out of its hole to completely eradicate the problem? If that’s the case, it would be a tremendous boon for the Xiao Family," The Miss exclaimed in surprise after hearing Lin Tian’s plan.
