Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1254: Chapter 1234: Lifespan Extension Pill

”Participating in the auction, can you be the master?” Yan raised an eyebrow, seemingly indifferent.

”Please wait a moment.” The shopkeeper looked at Yan’s calm expression, spoke respectfully, and then hurriedly placed the jade bottle on the table and rushed inside.

After a short while, someone came out and ordered tea and snacks to be served: ”Please wait for a moment, the appraiser will arrive shortly.”

As soon as the words fell, an elderly man with white hair walked in: ”Where is it? Where is it?”

”Here, here, please take a look, sir.” The shopkeeper quickly handed the jade bottle to the old man with great respect.

The old man picked it up and sniffed it lightly, showing a face full of longing and nodding repeatedly: ”Quickly, send the message, this time our auction will have the Lifespan Extension Pill!”

Luo Qianqian sprayed a mouthful of tea, the item being dealt with was the Lifespan Extension Pill?

Her eyes glanced secretly at Yan, who handed over a silk handkerchief: ”Be careful.”

”Not really, do you have more?” Luo Qianqian asked Yan with a fawning expression.

Yan raised an eyebrow: ”Depends on the mood, maybe yes, maybe no.”

Luo Qianqian clenched her small fists but didn’t react further, nodding; she thought they would discuss this later, not urgent for now.

”May I know your names, both of you?” The shopkeeper hurriedly documented the transaction and respectfully handed the receipt to Yan.

”Thirteen,” Yan said calmly, ”when can the auction be held?”

”Coincidentally, three days from now, our Treasure Gathering Pavilion will host a large-scale auction, occurring once every three years; thousands of rare treasures will be on display, hoping you two can attend.” The old man penned something on the side and handed it to the shopkeeper, who, in turn, offered it respectfully: ”Do you two have a place to stay?”

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a gilded invitation.

Yan calmly accepted it, nodded: ”No trouble, Xiao Qi, let’s go.”

Saying this, he was the first to walk out of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Luo Qianqian followed him hopping and skipping out, looking very hopeful: ”Brother, wait for me.”

After leaving the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Luo Qianqian reverted from her childish demeanor to a serious one beside Yan: ”Do you have any more?”

”What will you trade for it?” Yan asked indifferently in return.

”What do you want?” Luo Qianqian was anxious but powerless, Qin Nuan needed a long time to reach that level, she couldn’t guarantee if her grandparents could wait.

”What I want, you can’t afford; forget it, next time let’s go to Nine Heavens Pavilion, let me taste the Forget Worries Tea House specialty.”

Yan suddenly slowed down, frowned tightly, staring intently at the person ahead.

The man rode a horse, full of youthful vigor, holding a feather fan and silk scarf, with elite infantry behind him, his demeanor wrote four large characters: High-spirited.

Luo Qianqian found Yan’s reaction strange and looked over, only to discover that the man bore some resemblance to Haan Yun?

”Could that be the Crown Prince?” Luo Qianqian asked in a low voice.

Yan nodded: ”Seems like, it’s someone sent by him.” Their gaze drew the attention of the man on the horse, but when he looked over, they had already left, he only saw a bunch of people gathered to watch the commotion.

Outside the city, the two leisurely returned to their agreed location and saw Haan Yun hopping up and down: ”Why aren’t they back yet!!!”

And Huangfu Yihui on one side seemed tired from persuading or was cultivating, his eyes slightly closed.

The guards, scattered around, were the first to spot the two of them.

Subsequently, Huangfu Yihui opened his eyes and looked at them: ”You’re back, how did it go?”

Upon hearing Huangfu Yihui’s voice, Haan Yun stopped his monkey-like behavior, jumped in front of them, his eyes like bright stars.

”The young girl is very pretty, the General’s Mansion is huge.” Qian Xi walked to the side and calmly sat down: ”Speaking of which, that Crown Prince looks quite imposing.”

Haan Yun frowned directly upon hearing this, looking tense: ”You saw the Crown Prince?”

”Yes.” Luo Qianqian nodded calmly.

Yan said nothing, sitting quietly on the side listening to Luo Qianqian tease Haan Yun.

Haan Yun suddenly sat on the ground: ”My little Yiyi won’t just be taken away like that, right?”

Luo Qianqian’s eyes widened, taken away? Your imagination is a bit too vivid, isn’t it?

”Is there a smell of blood? Did something happen?” Huangfu Yihui frowned, looking at the box in Luo Qianqian’s hand, inside there were only a few cookies left.

Could it possibly have been a fight over food?

But if it was for some other reason, why would Luo Qianqian still carry it back without a scratch, the box completely unharmed?

”Ah?” Haan Yun’s face showed sheer terror, covering his ears, looking panic-stricken: ”I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!”

”Did I say anything? He’s gone mad?” Luo Qianqian slightly frowned, shaking her head at Huangfu Yihui: ”Happened to coincide with someone attacking the General’s Mansion, I didn’t intervene, it was the Hua Family’s second young master who acted.”

”As long as there’s no trouble.” Huangfu Yihui nodded lightly, glanced at Haan Yun sitting on the ground: ”What’s the deal with the Crown Prince?”

Haan Yun stared fixed at Luo Qianqian, the hands on his ears visibly loosened.

”Saw him on the way back, not sure if it was a parade or something else, anyway, a lot of people were watching; he looks pretty decent, but kind of... well, that lust-fueled debauched king vibe.” Although the man looks quite impressive, Luo Qianqian had this feeling for no apparent reason.

Moreover, with the Haan Family, she held no fondness for them, let alone for this future Emperor of Haan Family.

She hadn’t attempted any assassination, that was her being benevolent.

”Is she alright?” Haan Yun’s eyes reddened as he looked at Luo Qianqian: ”She wasn’t hurt, was she?”

”With so many people around, how could she get hurt? What a joke, she’s perfectly fine.” Seeing his expression, Luo Qianqian couldn’t bring herself to tease him further, she shook her head gently: ”However, knowing you were still alive really made her happy.”

”As long as she’s fine.” Yet Haan Yun seemed to not hear Luo Qianqian’s words, raising his head, continuously repeating the phrase, tears running down his cheeks: ”Shiqi, you absolutely have to defeat the Haan Family, General Hua is a good General...”

Uh? So now it’s become her issue? No way...

”Let’s talk later.” Luo Qianqian waved her hand, looking bewildered at the sky, is she supposed to stir up some trouble?

However, in the Northern Region under Snow Palace’s rule, the gap between rich and poor is too large, and the Imperial Clan is too authoritarian, even the General’s Mansion has no room for resistance, is this really fine?

Better go back and consult her brothers’ opinions, she felt this status quo is quite fine.

”By the way, I have to look for her tomorrow; is there anything you want to give her?” Luo Qianqian asked Haan Yun.

Haan Yun paused, hurriedly nodded, then got up, running until he vanished from sight.
