As soon as they reached the door, they heard the bidding for the sword behind them reach a staggering nine hundred thousand Divine Martial Coins, but that was no longer Ming Zhitian's concern.
Yan Lixue hurried to chase after him, and Hai Bubu and the other four followed suit. Xue Mingyuan called out from behind her, "Xue'er, wait for me."
"Wait a moment."
Yan Lixue called out to Ming Zhitian from behind him. Ming Zhitian turned around, and Hai Bubu recognized him, "Aren't you the one we met at Nan'an Temple?"
Ming Zhitian responded politely, "Hello, Hai Bubu."
He had some impression of Hai Bubu because her name was easy to remember.
Hai Bubu was overjoyed, "You actually remember my name?"
Ming Zhitian smiled slightly and looked at Yan Lixue, "Is there something?"
Yan Lixue stepped forward and nodded shyly, "Hello, we've met before, also at Nan'an Temple."
Ming Zhitian said, "I know."
Yan Lixue said proudly, "It's like this, I must have the Emperor-grade artifact, the Cold Iron Gauntlets, that you have. I didn't bring enough money to the auction. Name your price, as long as it's not more than five hundred thousand, I can accept it."
Xue Mingyuan looked disdainful and said to Ming Zhitian with the look one gives a country bumpkin, "Given that we know each other, the value of your broken gauntlets is already far beyond this price. Xue'er has offered such a generous condition, you've already made a fortune. Just hand them over. What's it to me if this young master treats you to a big meal."
Although Yan Lixue disliked Xue Mingyuan calling her Xue'er, she agreed with his words and looked at Ming Zhitian, awaiting his reply.
Ming Zhitian sneered, "Broken gauntlets? Then what use do you have for them? I'll keep them for myself."
Ming Zhitian waved his hand and turned to leave with Guo Qiang.
Yan Lixue blocked his path, "How much do you want? Five hundred thousand is already not a small sum, don't be greedy."
Ming Zhitian turned back, "Do you think everything can be measured by money? Hah, don't be too self-important."
Ming Zhitian ignored them and walked away directly.
Yan Lixue said angrily, "It's all your fault, Xue Mingyuan. You must have angered Ming Zhitian, otherwise he would have agreed to my offer. Don't follow me. Bubu, you guys go to Zhenhua Restaurant and wait for me. I'll be there soon."
Xue Mingyuan looked confused, "What did I do wrong now?"
Yan Lixue caught up with Ming Zhitian, "Ming Zhitian, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, today is my cousin's birthday, and I must give him the Cold Iron Gauntlets. He's from a boxing family and will surely inherit the family and become the next boxing king. I want to leave a good impression on him and make him remember me. Please, Ming Zhitian, can you? I will definitely repay you."
Ming Zhitian smiled, "Repay? What can you use to repay me? More money?"
Yan Lixue first asked Guo Qiang to step aside and pulled Ming Zhitian to a corner of an alley. "I... They all want to meet me and will ask for my contact information. I know you don't need that. What you need more is... me, right? If you give me the Cold Iron Gauntlets, besides the five hundred thousand, you'll also get my first night. What do you say? It's quite a good deal, isn't it?"
Looking at Yan Lixue's fair skin, her undulating figure, and her deliberately provocative posture at this moment.
Ming Zhitian knew that lust was a sharp blade, "Are you insulting my intelligence?"
Yan Lixue said, "What will it take for you to believe me?"
She gritted her teeth, "Fine, I'll take off my clothes and show you right now."
Ming Zhitian was startled. Seeing her actually removing her clothes and exposing her fair shoulders, he quickly stopped her, "Don't, please have some self-respect, young lady."
Yan Lixue's eyes turned red. It was clear she was not very willing, but to achieve her goal, she would stop at nothing, "This is truly my first time. You can choose not to believe me, but..."
Ming Zhitian grabbed her arms, "I believe you, but I really can't give you the Cold Iron Gauntlets. Actually, it's the only memento my master left me, truly."
Yan Lixue said, "But what birthday gift can I give my cousin? If I don't even have the rare Emperor-grade artifact, the Cold Iron Gauntlets, my cousin won't like me."
