The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 123: Chapter 123: This Is Just an Accident

Cheng Yuan took the lead, guiding Shen Youchu and the Yuanxi staff as they strode toward Huanya’s archway.

Under Mu Qingfeng’s command, the Huanya staff hastily formed a human wall to block the archway.

Mocking expressions appeared on the faces of the Huanya staff. They outnumbered Yuanxi two to one, and they even had several Practitioners among them.

’This handful of people from Yuanxi is no match for us at all!’

Lin Xingchen and his group also looked on with disdain. ’To think this kid would try to use brute force. How ridiculous.’

However, the moment the two sides clashed, the expressions on the Huanya staff’s faces changed!

The kid leading the charge and the young girl by his side were far too strong!

In a single clash, they shattered the human wall!

Even their few Martial Artists were sent scattering in disarray!

The spirits of the Yuanxi staff soared, and they roared in triumph!

”What good are numbers? You’re all just for show!”

”This kid is incredible! He’s so strong! Follow him, charge!”

The Yuanxi staff, now united as one, steamrolled their way forward, quickly reaching Huanya’s archway!

Standing firmly before Huanya’s archway, Cheng Yuan was like an immovable mountain. He bellowed, ”Alright, Yuanxi! Set up our archway! Put up our banners!”

”Yes!”

The Yuanxi staff worked quickly, setting up their own archway and unfurling their banners, completely blocking Huanya’s from view!

The Huanya staff were furious. Led by their few Martial Artists, they launched another charge.

Unfortunately for them, Cheng Yuan fought like a god descended to earth. He and Shen Youchu pushed and blocked, sending the Huanya employees sprawling in complete disarray.

Helpless, the Huanya employees could only turn to their leaders with pleading eyes.

This infuriated Lin Xingchen. His face darkened as he turned to Mu Qingfeng. ”Assistant Mu, that kid and the girl are experts. You’ll have to handle this personally.”

Mu Qingfeng was a Celestial Realm Peak expert and had full confidence he could control the situation.

Mu Qingfeng gave a slight nod and ambled over to Cheng Yuan. ”Kid, I didn’t realize you were a Practitioner. I don’t like bullying my juniors. Take the little girl and step aside now, or I won’t be so courteous.”

Cheng Yuan snorted with contempt. ”I’d advise against that. If you make a move, I won’t hold back either.”

Mu Qingfeng smiled and reached for Cheng Yuan’s shoulder. He was going to dislocate this impossibly arrogant kid’s arm!

But in the next instant, the smile vanished from Mu Qingfeng’s face.

Cheng Yuan didn’t even have to move. Striking first despite moving second, Shen Youchu slapped her palm against Mu Qingfeng’s chest.

Shen Youchu had already broken through to the Grandmaster realm. Moreover, she was using a Cultivation Technique modified by Cheng Yuan, which allowed her to fight opponents above her level—even a Quasi-Divine Realm Grandmaster.

Mu Qingfeng was only at Celestial Realm Peak; he stood no chance against Shen Youchu’s attack!

With a loud BANG!

Mu Qingfeng was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. He slammed into Huanya’s archway, knocking the entire structure down!

With a wet retch, Mu Qingfeng spat out a mouthful of blood, staring at Shen Youchu in utter shock.

”Grand... Grandmaster.”

Mu Qingfeng struggled to his feet, his face pale and drained.

The scene was so shocking that the faces of the Huanya staff turned deathly pale. They quickly scrambled for cover, terrified of provoking Shen Youchu.

Lin Xingchen and his family were also terrified. ’Is that little girl a monster?’

’She’s only a teenager, isn’t she?’

’Even if she started her Cultivation in the womb, how could she be this freakishly powerful?’

Lin Xingchen and his family instinctively took several steps back.

But he quickly realized his retreat was a mistake. If he, the one in charge, showed fear, Huanya’s morale would hit rock bottom.

Steeling himself, Lin Xingchen took two steps forward, refusing to show weakness as he glared at Cheng Yuan and Lin Xinghe.

”So what if you managed to set up your archway and banners? And so what if they’re blocking ours? You still don’t have an Antique Appraiser! You still barely have any Treasure Holders! You still barely have any VIPs! Your debut auction today is doomed to be a joke!”

Lin Xingchen’s words greatly boosted the morale of the Huanya staff!

’That’s right! What’s the use of a little brute force and fighting skill?’

’A debut auction is about connections, not muscle!’

Just then, a local tycoon, flanked by his assistants, strode over.

Seeing the tycoon, the Huanya side’s spirits lifted. President Zhu’s arrival was perfectly timed; they could finally score a point.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Mu Qingfeng forced a smile and hurried to greet him. ”President Zhu, you’re so early! Please, right this way to the VIP room!”

As he spoke, Mu Qingfeng shot a provocative glare at the Yuanxi group. ’If we can’t beat them in a fight,’ he thought, ’we’ll crush them with our connections!’

The expressions on the faces of the Yuanxi staff turned grim. They had approached President Zhu before, but he had staunchly chosen Huanya.

’Looks like Huanya is about to score the first victory.’

But, to everyone’s surprise, President Zhu, who had been so enthusiastic toward Mu Qingfeng just yesterday, suddenly became a bit cold.

”President Mu, my apologies, but I’m going to Yuanxi Auction House.”

With that, President Zhu strode over to Lin Xinghe and extended his hand. ”President Lin, I couldn’t get through to your phone last night, so I had to come uninvited. I hope you don’t mind.”

Huh?

Mu Qingfeng was stunned.

The Huanya staff were stunned.

Lin Xingchen and his family were also stunned.

The Huanya contingent was completely baffled as to why President Zhu had suddenly changed his allegiance.

Lin Xinghe firmly shook President Zhu’s hand. ”Of course I don’t mind! Any guest is a friend! Xiaoyang, show President Zhu to the VIP room to rest!”

”Yes, sir!”

Xiaoyang’s voice was exceptionally loud. Chin held high with pride, he deliberately paraded President Zhu right past the Huanya staff, nearly making them explode with anger.

Lin Xingchen roared, ”Assistant Mu, what the hell is going on? President Zhu was on our side yesterday! Why did he suddenly flip?”

Mu Qingfeng wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. ”I... I don’t know what happened. It must be a fluke, right?”

”I don’t want to see any more ’flukes’!”

”It won’t happen again. I guarantee there won’t be any more surprises!”

The words had barely left his mouth when a group of more than ten local tycoons walked over together.

This time, Lin Xingchen personally went forward to greet them. ”President Zhao, President Yang, President Liang, President Chen, Vice President Chen... you’re all so early? Please, come in! Come in!”

The Yuanxi staff felt a sense of helplessness. President Zhu’s defection had earned them a little face, but with so many tycoons arriving for Huanya at once... there was simply no comparison.

Normally, being personally welcomed by a scion of the Provincial City’s Lin Family would make these tycoons feel extremely honored, perhaps even a little intimidated.

But now, the presidents’ attitudes were decidedly cold.

”President Lin, our apologies, but we are choosing Yuanxi Auction House.”

With that, they walked right around him and strode up to Lin Xinghe, their faces breaking into brilliant smiles.

”President Lin, we had an agreement last night. You still have our seats, right?”

”Yes, of course we do! Xiaoliu, escort our honored guests to the lounge!”

”YES, SIR!!!”

Xiaoliu’s voice was so resonant it made the ears of the Huanya staff ring.

Like a victorious rooster, Xiaoliu puffed out his chest and held his head high, parading the group of tycoons right past the stunned Huanya staff.
