When talking about the eldest daughter of the Shen family, Su Qingtian clearly felt Xiao Ruofeng's hand holding her tighten slightly, and the strength could not help but increase a bit.

The curious little girl blinked and reached out to tug on Xiao Ruofeng's sleeve.

"Um?"

Xiao Ruofeng bent down, put his ear close to the little girl and asked doubtfully, "Qingtian, what's wrong?"

"Third uncle."

Su Qingtian's eyes looked like she was watching a good show, and she joked in the man's ear, "Do you know the eldest lady of the Shen family? But she is very good-looking?"

I thought the little girl wanted to go to the toilet or do other minor things, but I didn't expect that she would ask such a question.

It really made Xiao Ruofeng angry and funny.

No matter how powerful his supernatural power is, his mind is only that of a five or six-year-old child, which is really cute and tight.

"In the past, when the Xiao family was still in Beijing, they had a close relationship with the Shen family. Miss Shen and your mother were also close friends." The man's slightly frowned brow showed that he had no good impression of the Shen family, and his next words also confirmed this.

.

"Suddenly one day, the Shen family cut off all contact with the Xiao family, and even refused to attend the tea party that had been agreed upon."

"In less than half a month from now, our Xiao family will be leaving the capital..."

His gaze passed across Su Qingtian's crystal clear eyes, and Xiao Ruofeng's words stopped abruptly.

Even though the little girl is a seedling with excellent Taoist talent, she is still a child who lost her mother and was abandoned by her own father.

His own circumstances were already distressing, and he didn't want to talk to Su Qingtian about these long-standing scandals, lest he taint his niece's ears.

The adults of the Xiao family all just wanted this ill-fated little girl to live a happy life in the future.

"It was all a long time ago."

After gathering his thoughts, Xiao Ruofeng bent down and held the little girl in his arms and coaxed, "Aren't you planning to buy a mask? Choose the style you like, and my third uncle will buy it for you."

Xiao Ruofeng didn't want to mention it further, so Su Qingtian naturally stopped asking further questions.

In just a few words, you can guess with your toes.

The Shen family must have been one of the people who got into trouble back then, and Miss Shen did not act like she was a close friend of Xiao Hongyan.

Chen Ran, after so many years, why has she never visited the original owner of the Shen family?

To put it bluntly, they were just friends with Xiao Hongyan for profit. It was a pity that the mother of the original owner was a straightforward person and did not take much precautions against these evil-hearted people.

It seems that Su Zheng was not the only one who wanted the death of the Xiao family. There were probably many families secretly hiding in this huge capital that coveted the power of the Xiao family.

They just used Su Zheng's methods to get rid of the thorn in their side for many years.

Glancing at the masks on the stall, the little girl pointed to the two most conspicuous evil ghost masks with green faces and fangs.

"I want these two, they look domineering and intimidating!"

As she spoke, Su Qingtian bared her teeth like a mask, causing Fan Ye behind him to burst into laughter.

The young master is really a protective person, and he is not aloof at all in front of his third uncle.

Lively, cute and playful, he really looks like a toddler.

Xiao Ruofeng paid the money and watched the little girl put one of the masks on her face and waved her little hands excitedly.

I sighed secretly, why would my delicate and soft little girl like such dark and terrifying things?

His eyes suddenly went dark, and Su Qingtian also put a mask on him.

"Hey, this way no one will recognize you as the third uncle!"

Using her small hands to help Xiao Ruofeng straighten the mask, Su Qingtian quickly drew a secret talisman on the mask with her fingertips, in order to weld the mask firmly to her third uncle's face.

Unless he takes it off himself, no one can take it off.

She didn't know whether the appearance of the three people in the capital had attracted the attention of various people, but as long as the third uncle showed up at the underground auction in front of the Xiao family, many people would be frightened.

At that time, those unnecessary troubles will hinder your plans.

Su Qingtian's thoughtful words sent a warm current through Xiao Ruofeng's heart.

Although the two have only known each other for a short time, they really feel like a family.

"Third uncle, it's getting late."

"Um."

Xiao Ruofeng led the little girl out of this bustling street and walked towards another quiet street.

Su Qingtian winked at Fan Ye behind her, who turned around and disappeared into the crowd in the other direction.

Although the road the two of them went on was very spacious, there were no open shops or vendors.

There were carriages parked one after another quietly on the slightly dark stone road, and the carriage drivers were all surrounded by a few guards-like people in the corner to watch over them.

There are also many armored guards patrolling around the streets, strictly checking the flow of people passing through the streets.

Deep in the street, there are two cyan lanterns on a dark gate, which is the location of this underground auction, Ziyin Pavilion.

"stop!"

A group of patrolling guards spotted Xiao Ruofeng and quickly stepped forward to block their way.

The guards looked serious and pointed their weapons at the intruders unceremoniously.

“You are not allowed to enter or exit this place at will, please take a detour immediately!”

Xiao Ruofeng was speechless, raised his hand, took off the wooden sign from his waist and handed it over.

The leading patrol guard took the wooden sign and carefully inspected it for a long time before returning it to Xiao Ruofeng.

"You two take them through the passage on the right."

"yes!"

After receiving the order, the two guards immediately led Xiao Ruofeng and Su Qingtian towards Ziyin Pavilion.

The guards sandwiched the two of them in the middle with a tacit understanding, not giving them any chance to run around.

"This auction is divided into three levels: A, B, and C."

The guard walking in front suddenly spoke in a serious tone, "Class A are the distinguished guests personally invited by His Highness the King of Jin, and Class B are the guests from many centuries-old families and royal relatives."

"And Class C only has ten people who can be traded."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruofeng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

No wonder the man from Annan County dared to blatantly take out the wooden signs for sale. It turned out that the King of Jin came to participate in the auction in order to unearth the secrets of wealthy businessmen on the mainland.

Just waiting to be attracted, it will immediately become the pocket of the unscrupulous King Jin.

"Except for the auction, Class C is allowed to speak. At other times, they are only allowed to stay where they are and are not allowed to make loud noises, let alone move around randomly."

"Take care of your children during the auction. If you collide with the nobles, you will die, and the whole clan will be harmed. It will not be worth the gain!"

At this time, several people were outside the secret door on the right side of Ziyin Pavilion. The guard opened the door and asked in a threatening tone, "Do you hear me clearly?!"

Xiao Ruofeng nodded nervously, grabbed Su Qingtian's little hand tightly and lowered his head.

Seeing Xiao Ruofeng's submissive look, the two guards nodded with satisfaction before leading them through the passage on the right and towards the area where Bing and others were in Ziyin Pavilion.
