Chapter 14: Under Control
When Mu Nanyue heard this, the corners of her lips curved up, "When I fight with her, it's just a fight between us, just a joke between juniors."

"Pei Jinshu kept chasing me, and I chose to endure it. But in the eyes of others, she was bullying me."

The Pei family must give an explanation.

Otherwise, it would not be a joke among the younger generation, but an internal conflict among the five major families.

If this news gets out, it will be bad for both the inside and the outside world, but if Pei Jinshu were to apologize to Mu Nanyue, she would definitely feel extremely embarrassed.

Pei Jinshu is a shrewd man. He will behave himself only after being taught a lesson once, and he will not easily cause trouble for Mu Nanyue in the future.

There will also be fewer arguments between the two sides.

After all, Mu Nanyue wanted to conquer Pei Yinghuai, and maybe she would become her sister-in-law in the future.

Let's just try to be friendly.

"Miss, you are smart!"

The guard suddenly realized what was going on and didn't need to take any action, as someone would naturally teach him a lesson.

At this time, the auction hall gradually became lively with constant discussions, and a woman in a red robe slowly walked onto the stage.

She had a faint smile on her face. She was the host of this auction and started with the same words that had never changed in a century, "Welcome to all distinguished guests. In your busy schedule..."

After the host finished his polite words, he got to the point amid everyone's expectant gazes.

"The first auction item is called 'Nigong Pill'. It is of top-grade fifth-grade quality. After taking it, it can help you break through realms and repair meridians. The starting price is 200,000 spirit stones!"

"I'll give you 210,000..."

"Three hundred thousand..."

Inside the box, Mu Nanyue glanced at the elixir that was being auctioned by many people and was not very interested.

Her goal is the Ganoderma lucidum that can bring back the soul for eternity.

However, Pei Jinshu and Pei Yinghuai were also here, and they had made some harsh remarks before.

To prevent disruption, Mu Nanyue called out the price when the third auction item appeared: "Five hundred thousand spirit stones."

As soon as her voice appeared, Pei Jinshu in the box opposite noticed it and quickly shouted out a high price: "I'll offer 800,000!"

Mu Nanyue: "One million."

The two people chased each other at a very fast speed, as if the auction was free, and the prices they offered were unimaginably high.

At this moment, the whole place was inexplicably silent.

In the end, Pei Jinshu bought the fifth item for three million. It was a sixth-tier magic weapon, priced at a maximum of one million spirit stones.

You'd be a fool to buy it no matter how expensive it is.

The two of them were fighting for it, and Pei Jinshu was quite happy when he got this magic weapon, not feeling that he was at a disadvantage at all.

Seeing this, her brother Pei Yinghuai held his forehead helplessly and said, "Don't grin. Think about how you will explain when you go home that you spent three million to buy a sixth-grade magic weapon."

Pei Jinshu's smile disappeared.

She caught something in her mind and quickly realized it. She was so angry that her face turned blue. "Damn it! Mu Nanyue actually played a trick on me!"

"Brother, you have to help me teach her a lesson!" Pei Jinshu thought of what happened before and did not hesitate to exaggerate and complain.

She didn't notice Pei Yinghuai's expression, which was a little gloomy, and continued to say aggrievedly: "I don't want to apologize to Mu Nanyue. If my parents force me, brother, you must help me plead for mercy!"

Pei Yinghuai was silent for a moment, then said with a half-smile: "She is telling the truth. Your cultivation has not improved in the past few years."

Pei Jinshu: “…” It’s so heartbreaking!

The auction was still going on, and Mu Nanyue shouted several times, all of which were within the price the auction items were worth.

Pei Jinshu couldn't swallow that anger, so he also made trouble several times.

Because the price she called out was high, Mu Nanyue stopped talking and no one else followed suit, so Pei Jinshu could only reluctantly take the bid.

Menmen suffered this loss.

The obvious confrontation between the two naturally attracted a lot of attention from the audience. As if knowing that he was being talked about and laughed at, Pei Jinshu could no longer hold back, and stood up and walked out the door angrily.

Pei Yinghuai was taking pictures of what he needed, which was his purpose for coming here.

Seeing his sister's impulsiveness, he immediately asked the guards to stop her, but Pei Jinshu whipped him back with a whip, "Brother, leave me alone! I must teach Mu Nanyue a lesson today!"

She wasted so many spirit stones to buy a bunch of useless things, which really pissed her off!

With a loud "bang", the door of the box was pushed open forcefully.

Mu Nanyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at the person who rushed in with anger in her deep eyes, and asked nonchalantly: "What's the matter?"

Look at her blinking her innocent eyes, as if she doesn't know how pretentious this is.

Pei Jinshu was so angry that he laughed, gritting his teeth and said, "Is there something wrong? Haha, you vicious woman, I will beat you to death!"

She raised the whip in her hand, but was quickly pulled back by someone just as she was about to swing it.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Pei Jinshu said angrily.

Pei Yinghuai said coldly, "If you hit me with this whip, your parents won't force you to apologize. Think about it yourself."

Pei Jinshu: “…” I want to cry.

Bullying, this is too much!
Looking at the tall figure that suddenly appeared in front of her, Mu Nanyue tilted her head, letting the tassels in her hair sway as she pretended to be scared.

She imitated Song Wanqing's delicate and artificial manner, and asked in a gentle and puzzled voice: "Hiss~ What happened to Sister Pei today?"

"You insulted me at the door before, and now you are threatening to beat me to death with a whip. I wonder how I have offended you?"

"You!" Pei Jinshu was stunned, as if he felt that she looked somewhat familiar.

Not sure, check again.

Pei Yinghuai came back to his senses. It was the first time he saw Mu Nanyue so... cute.

Their eyes accidentally met, his face stiffened slightly, and the smile on his lips faded. Mu Nanyue smiled slightly, as if bathed in spring breeze.

This scene lingered in his mind for a long time. Pei Yinghuai's heart skipped a beat and he looked away with an unnatural look.

"Favorability +5."

Mu Nanyue raised her long eyebrows and laughed in her heart: Even though it was pretending, I got it.

"Apologize." Pei Yinghuai threw away the messy thoughts in his mind, coughed lightly to cover up, and his tone was unquestionable.

Pei Jinshu's eyes flashed with disdain, and then he returned to his furious look, "You want me to apologize? No way!"

She snorted coldly and turned away.

Pei Yinghuai's thoughts were wandering, and even his movements to stop him became much slower. He watched Pei Jinshu leave.

His feet seemed to be fixed in place and he couldn't lift them at all to catch up.

Pei Yinghuai tried his best to suppress his pounding heart and pretended to be calm, "Miss Mu, she didn't mean it. I apologize to you on her behalf for what happened before."

Mu Nanyue's eyes were dim, and she forced a faint smile on her pretty face, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, you two brothers and sisters always target me. I'm used to it..."

Pei Yinghuai: “…”

Pei Yinghuai could see that she was pretending to be reluctant, and even though he knew it was just an act, he still softened his heart.

"I have never targeted you, I just don't like... Fu Qian." He explained in a low and elegant voice.

He was targeting Fu Qian.

Mu Nanyue once liked him, and Pei Yinghuai used to dislike Fu Qian'an in everything, so wasn't he going against her?
In addition, the two had conflicts since childhood and quarreled all the time, and they looked down on each other when they grew up.

Mu Nanyue pursed her lips, turned her head and fixed her gaze on the auction floor, as if Pei Yinghuai was no longer present.

Pei Yinghuai's heart tightened at his attitude of not wanting to pay attention to him, and his mind uncontrollably flashed back to the day when he stopped Mu Nanyue.

She told him that the person she liked was Pei Yinghuai, the son of the Pei family...
