That’s right, this was Lin Huanhuan’s true plan. She had known for a long time that she could get in this way, so she specifically sought out someone who looked easier to fool to take her inside. She would get what she wanted first and worry about the rest later.
As for what would happen to the person she was using, she would naturally just toss her aside once she was done with her. Anyway, this woman named Bai Sixuan seemed quite ditzy. She might even help count the money after being sold off.
‘Heehee, what a total moron. She was so easily used by me.’
Lin Huanhuan sneered in her heart, but on the surface, she maintained a well-behaved appearance as she followed behind the other woman, looking every bit like a little sidekick.
Bai Sixuan remained expressionless, but she was secretly thinking: ‘It’s been a long time since I used this look. There shouldn’t be anything out of place, right?’
Upon reaching the entrance, Bai Sixuan handed over the invitation in her hand. The attendant checked it and then made a gesture of invitation.
She stepped in first, completely failing to notice the ghost-like expression on the attendant’s face when he saw Lin Huanhuan following behind her.
Lin Huanhuan skipped along after her. When she passed the attendant, she even stuck out her tongue and made a face, as if to say: ‘You wouldn’t let me in, but look, I’m in now. I’d like to see what you can do about it.’
The attendant didn’t stop her either; he just felt a bit speechless and amused: ‘Where did this kid come from? Is she really this bored?’
The invitation Bai Sixuan produced was no ordinary item. The moment they entered the auction house, someone immediately led them to the VIP area.
Lin Huanhuan wasn’t particularly surprised. After all, although this woman seemed a bit slow, that aura of confidence wasn’t something that could be faked.
The door plaque read ‘Earth Grade.’ Lin Huanhuan glanced at it casually. It was one level lower than her own invitation, but the difference wasn’t actually that great. She couldn’t help but feel curious about what Bai Sixuan’s true identity was.
Just as they were about to enter, the guests from the neighboring room happened to arrive as well. Moreover, the moment they saw Bai Sixuan, they immediately wore expressions of rage.
It was a fat man with a face full of jowls. Bai Sixuan also furrowed her brows the moment she saw him, feeling a hint of displeasure.
“Good, good, good.”
Chen Feng laughed coldly three times. “I didn’t expect you to attend this auction too. This is simply wonderful. I thought I wouldn’t be able to find you, but this time I can finally give you a piece of my mind!”
“Rest assured, you won’t be able to bid on anything this time. Hmph!”
After saying that, Chen Feng walked straight into his own room.
Lin Huanhuan felt it was all quite bizarre. She turned back to look at Bai Sixuan and asked, “Does that guy have a grudge against you, Sister Bai?”
Bai Sixuan: “In a way, yes. Though it’s not a matter of life and death. I offended him before, and I didn’t expect to run into him here.”
Her voice was flat, and her expression didn’t change in the slightest, as if nothing in this world could cause a ripple in her emotions.
Lin Huanhuan muttered to herself: ‘Is she really acting this cool? But if that’s the case, her strength must be decent, otherwise she would have been beaten to death long ago.’
‘It seems like she’s worth sucking up to. Maybe I can use her later. Being able to exploit her would be quite nice.’
Having made up her mind, Lin Huanhuan immediately quickened her pace and followed her inside.
The interior balcony design was very exquisite, providing a clear view of the auction floor. However, looking from the outside in, one could see nothing at all. Various drinks and snacks were set aside.
As soon as Lin Huanhuan entered, she lay down directly on the soft couch with her chin resting on a pillow, showing no courtesy as a guest whatsoever.
Bai Sixuan didn’t mind her and simply sat down on a nearby chair.
Lin Huanhuan said softly, “Sister Bai, the layout here is really nice. It’s so comfortable, even more comfortable than lying at home. I felt a bit tired just now and lay down without asking. You won’t blame me, will you, Sister Bai?”
“It’s no matter. I don’t usually lie down anyway. The layout here is indeed good. It’s fine as long as you like it.”
Bai Sixuan smiled gently, like a flower of ice and snow suddenly blooming in an extremely cold land. It made Lin Huanhuan feel as if her heart had been seized by a hand; her breathing and heartbeat stopped, and the world seemed to freeze in that moment.
After coming back to her senses, Lin Huanhuan’s pretty face flushed red, and she hurried to turn her head away. Only after returning to normal did she continue to say with a giggle, “Sister Bai is really beautiful, especially your temperament. It’s truly rare.”
Bai Sixuan: “Perhaps. I’ve been like this since I was a child.”
Lin Huanhuan: “You’ve been like this since you were a kid? Sister Bai, you’re really impressive. I’m different. I was quite the troublemaker growing up and was often scolded by my sister, though she would let me off the hook most of the time.”
Bai Sixuan was slightly surprised: “Really? I couldn’t tell. Huanhuan, you might just be a bit more active. That’s actually not bad.”
Lin Huanhuan scratched her head and gave a silly smile: “Hehe, I think so too.”
They chatted for a while longer. Seeing that the timing was about right, Lin Huanhuan finally asked tentatively, “Sister Bai, I wonder where you’re from? Could I learn a bit more about you?”
“Um.” Bai Sixuan hesitated for a moment before saying, “Just a small sect nearby. It’s nothing major, not very famous, and there’s nothing much to know. My daily life is quite dull.”
Lin Huanhuan: “Oh, oh, I see.”
Lin Huanhuan nodded, naturally hearing the perfunctoriness in Bai Sixuan’s tone. Since that was the case, she decided not to pry further to avoid offending her and making an enemy.
Besides, closing the distance wasn’t just about learning personal details; badmouthing someone they both disliked could also quickly build rapport.
‘Let me think… whose bad side should I talk about? Hmm, that’s the one.’
In an instant, Lin Huanhuan had already planned out what she wanted to say in her mind.
“Sister Bai, speaking of which, your aura is quite similar to someone in our sect. That guy’s surname is also Bai. Maybe you two were family five hundred years ago.”
Bai Sixuan immediately became interested: “Oh? Who is this person? They are actually similar to me?”
Lin Huanhuan: “His name is Bai Lingfeng. Don’t mind that the names aren’t very similar, but I think the aura you two have is really alike.”
“Bai Lingfeng, I see.” Bai Sixuan chewed on the name and said, “What do you… what do you think of him as a person?”
“Since he is similar to me, he should be a decent person, right?”
“That guy?”
Lin Huanhuan immediately switched to an expression of gritted teeth: “How could that be? Sister Bai, you’ve misunderstood. Unlike your kindness, Sister Bai, that guy is an absolute, despicable, shameless, vulgar, and selfish jerk!”
Bai Sixuan: “(。A。)”
