The sun finally rise illuminated the city with its golden ray awake people form their warmed bed, the quite city gradually filled with people sounds as they starting their day again. The same happened at Zhao Li Xin manor Tie Shan it means 'Iron mountain' just like before it has given a strong name because they wish this Manor would not break easily. Well, it depends on their Lord will actually.

This morning Lory feel fresh, she doesn't know why but she sleep very well last night so she is quite energetic today. After she gets dress, Zhao Li Xin helps her to style her hair, she didn't surprise anymore when Zhao Li Xin able to do an elaborated hairstyle on her, he put big white peony flower with a long silver tassel that would make jingle sounds whenever she moves her head.

​​

The corners of Lory's eyes crinkled someone got too excited to make dress her up, she could guess what Zhao Li Xin's next word would be.

"Lory, why don't you wear a veil?" Zhao Li Xin said casually but he already takes out a white gauze veil from the drawer next to him "How about this one?" he smiles widely.

"No!" Lory raised her hand to stop him.

"Eh, why not?" Zhao Li Xin feel disappointed.

"So, what's the point I dress this much if I have to cover my face again? And how many times I told you that people didn't look at me like that actually is you who need to cover your face!" Lory utterly annoyed if she knows he would act like this she wouldn't let him do her hair until her neck stiff, what a wasted!

"But wife, you are become more beautiful lately, a lot of men staring at you with indecent thought, how could I stand it" Zhao Li Xin snort in disdain, his princess is too dense she never realizes her own charm, although the face she used as disguised not awe-striking beautiful but the way she carries herself with poise and confidence that is hard to ignore. There's something about the way she moves that make people can't stop looking at her and lately that charmed is getting stronger it make Zhao Li Xin restless.

"You are being paranoid again" Lory rolls her eyes obviously doubt his words is not her fault since Zhao Li Xin is being biased toward her from the first day so is hard for Lory to trust his judgment.

Zhao Li Xin knew he loses his footing and starts to plead pitifully "Wifey…"

"No!" Lory glare at him giving him no leeway "let's go now, everyone is waiting for us!" she grabs Zhao Li Xin arm then drag him out of the room before he could say anything else, Zhao Li Xin let out a long sigh, he wonder why he even tries? He never wins an argument with her anyway.

It took a while to get to the auction place from Tie Shan manor because of the desolated location of the manor. Wu Zhi Xiao and Zhao Yi Chen came on their own because they can't reveal their relationship with the Hei Shen sect yet. When they arrive the group gathers a lot of attention immediately, Lory is far from care about what people think and so is Zhao Li Xin and the other.

What gain Lory attention is the people who attend the auction, all of them wear lavish and bright clothes, the man looks pompous with silver and gold headwear, while the woman dresses gracefully wearing multiple hairpins on their intricate hairstyle, their maidservant and manservant follow behind their master and right in front the front door a man with bright green robes welcome the guest one by one with a big smile plastered on his face.

"There are more people than I expected" Ming Yue Yin said.

"It is Dongchen auction house, after all, is not weird for them to gather many people" Bei Li Yan walk next to Ming Yue Yin, their red robes and beautiful face attract a lot of people because they dress almost the same is not strange for outsider think they are a couple but the truth is both of them is too stubborn to change their style just to avoid people misunderstanding.

"I know about Dongchen auction house, even in hour continent, their name is well spread as the best auction house," Yang Xi Ying says while admiring the red lavish building paint with gold and silver.

"But no one knows who owned this place, the owner is very mysterious" Li Mo Zhen chimed in.

"Perhaps that person is from the royal family, only them who can maintain this level of discreet" Jin Hao waved his fan as he speaks calmly, he doesn't feel impressed is not like Hei Shen can't make a house auction that better than this in fact Wu san Bo establish an auction house before but he never serious managing it, it's still running though but is not as big as Dongchen house auction.

Lory step suddenly halted she turns her head to the side and there she found Lao Min Na and Jin Kai just got out of the same carriage, for engaged woman sharing a carriage with a single man is one thing that raised everyone eyebrows, thankfully not many people know about her status at Yun Dao city but Yang Xi Ying and Ming Yue Yin is fully aware, as a woman they thought Lao Min Na behavior is distasteful and shameless and they pity Zhao Yi Chen inwardly.

Lao Min Na is a very beautiful woman she has a small face, flawless skin, and delicate look is not wrong to say that she looks like a fairy descends from heaven especially when she dresses with white hanfu that make her look more delicate and pure. All Men are mesmerized by her even men who already with their wife and fiancée can't hold Lao Min Na charms, instantly Lao Min Na incurred all women jealousy and envy.

Lao Min Na eyes darted on Zhao Li Xin, the man handsome face completely hide behind the gold mask, his half hair is carelessly tied with lace it shows his wilful temperament and his dark robes make him look gloomy and intimidating at the same time.

Still, Lao Min Na can't stop gazing at him, sadly the man didn't even give her a glance, his eyes remain to the woman beside him, and his hand circle around that woman's waist, he looking at her as if she is the only thing exist in the world.

Girsha flew and perch on Lory's shoulder, his green eyes filled with malice towards Lao Min Na, if that woman here and so is Lazarus. Zhao Li Xin also has the same thought he pulls Lory on his embraces and sending a threatening gaze to Lao Min Na.

Jin Hao takes a step forward to block Lao Min Na sight, he stares at Jin kai with an indifference expression that is the stepbrother who tries to kill him a long time before, the grudged between them is long overdue it's about time to settle the score once for all.

Lo Min Na anger stirred within her, she hate how protective Zhao Li Xin toward Lory and why everyone is protecting her don't they know that woman is a witch from another world, they sure don't know about her if they do they would not let that woman mingle around them like this.

The corner of her red lips tugged upwards she believes no one would accept Lory if they know who she is and soon she would tell everyone who is that woman really is and see if there anyone would help her perhaps even Zhao Li Xin would abandon her if the whole world against her.

For Lao Min Na understanding human is selfish and cruel is hard for her to change that mindset and that's why is hard for her to understand Lory and Zhao Li Xin feeling for each other.

Not long after another carriage arrives and this time a man with bright purple robes step down from the carriage with his subordinated help him to lift the curtain, the handsome young man exudes noble aura is easy to guess that he must be a royal family member.

Lao Min Na forehead puckered she not expecting him to come, the two of them exchanged an intense glance but no words come from between them, Zhao Yi Chen shift his glance at Jin kai he sizes up Jin Kai he has to admit Lao Min Na taste is not bad, Zhao Yi Chen sneer at Lao Min Na then he walks casually to the front door, Zhao Yi Chen deliberately ignores Zhao Li Xin is better not aroused everyone suspicion, not now anyway.

"Is like everyone come to the party" Lory lift her eyebrows.

"No, they're still one more…" says Zhao Li Xin.

"Who?"

From afar they could hear the sounds of horse hoofs hitting on the solid grounds, a man with dark blue robes ride the black horse the man have a muscular body and stoic expression, he looks very handsome and valiant like a legendary warrior people mention from the book, his subordinated ride behind him every single of them look strong.

"Wait a minute, isn't that…." Lory's cover her mouth in shocked her eyes widened, she pulls Zhao Li Xin sleeve repeatedly.

"Hum, he told me he would come today" he replied indifferently.

"You should've told me!" Lory exasperatedly complains to her dense husband.

Lory frowned with a blank look "Why?"

Lory facepalm, she is too tired to talk with Zhao Li Xin now so she pulls Ming Yue Yin to her side "Do you know this?"

Ming Yue Yin look dumbfounded "N…no, he didn't say anything to me" her eyes wide open like a deer in the headlights.

"But he does mention that he can't wait for two years…" Yang Xi Ying whisper at Lory.

"How do you know that?" Ming Yue Yin shouted and glared at Yang Xi Ying at the same time.

"Well….it's on the letter that I accidentally read" Yang Xi Ying wryly said.

"What!" Ming Yue Ying wants to scold for the invasion of privacy but something is more urgent now "Which letter, why I don't notice this?"

Yang Xi Ying stifles "It's the letter from three months ago, he mentions it on the bottom of the paper, you might miss it, well you are quite busy that day"

"And you just accidentally read the letter…." Lory narrowed her eyes.

"It's on the table, it's not my fault!" Yang Xi Ying justifies herself.

"….."

"….."
