Chapter: Auction (3)
Although the Waruku marrow wasn't as powerful compared to other beast parts, it could be made into potions that can be used to straighten the foundation of children under six years old. That's exactly why Yan Yixuan needs it now.
His twins were barely a few weeks old, if he starts bathing them with a medicinal bath, their bones will mend and grow strong, setting them on a path less burdened by the frailties that many children experience.
Yan Yixuan was very pleased with his purchase. Although he had risk coming out, it was all for a good cost.
He picked up his phone and was about to contact the Air Taxi for a pickup, when someone bumped into him. The corridor leading to the auction backdoor was very narrow, forcing Yan Yixuan to stagger to the side.
"Watch where you're going!" Yan Yixuan snapped grumpily, he could tell that the person did it on purpose. Making him to almost drop the fragile marrows in his hands.
"How dare you speak to me in that way?" The person looked up angrily; he had long been dissatisfied with those that used the back door. They always used their influences to rob others off things during auctions.
When he saw Yan Yixuan's face, a sarcastic grin appeared on his face: "Oh, if it isn't the Yan family kept..." He caught himself as if he made a mistake: "the Yan family's mistress."
Yan Yixuan flinched, he looked at the person in front of him carefully and frowned: "Do I know you?"
The man has a sallow face and a sharp look in his eyes: "How would you know a lowly person like me, even after we cross paths so many times. After all, you're the mighty male wife of the Yan family."
His eyes flicked to the package in Yixuan's hand: "You bought all three sets of the Waruku marrows?"
Yan Yixuan tightened his grip on the marrows package: "I brought three sets; I don't know whether that's all they have in the savings."
"Of course, you knew why you bought all three. You think just because you have connection with the Yan family, you can waltz your way through both doors? The auction isn't just about rich fools like you."
Yan Yixuan frowned: "Get out of my way."
This person seems to know him when he was in the Yan resident, although he doesn't have any impression of him, he doesn't want to be bothered with him either.
The other party didn't take Yan Yixuan's words seriously; his eyes were glued to the package: "Sell one of the Waruku marrow to me, I need it for my niece."
Yan Yixuan: "The door is right behind me, if you want to buy, go in yourself. I didn't buy it to resell to you."
Yan Yixuan steps sideways in an attempt to walk past him, but the other party also steps sideways blocking his path.
"I didn't expect you to still be so arrogant. Even after you were abandoned after getting pregnant with two bastards. All that wealth and power, yet you couldn't hold on to your place at the Yan's residence. I always wondered why? But perfect looking apples are still rotten inside." The man said with disdain.
Just a few months ago, he wouldn't dare to speak to Yan Yixuan in this manner, but a few months is enough to change people's status.
The baby's monitor was mistakenly turned on by Yan Yixuan and the two little ones at home were listening in on their conversation.
When Xiaobao heard his father's voice, he wanted to cry out and grab his attention. But luckily, he didn't. Otherwise, he would have spoiled the juicy gossip.
He lifted his head from the crib, with his ears perked: Who would have thought there was such a secret about their dad? (❁´◡`❁)
Suiyun also heard it, unlike Xiaobao that was drawn to gossip, he on the other hand was forced to listen! He stared at the ceiling dully: Bastards? Mistress? Abandoned? What else is still hidden?! As if their lives weren't chaotic enough. ಥ_ಥ
Two babies with different thoughts, listen to the gossip attentively.
Yan Yixuan lowered his eyes. This is the main reason he doesn't like going out, always encountering trouble like this.
"You think you can just insult me without consequences? But envy is ugly, I suppose." Yan Yixuan said flatly
The man sneered: "What is there to envy about the downfall of a once revered man? But tell me, how does it feel to be nothing more than a forgotten shadow?"
Yan Yixuan thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know. But I am curious; how does it feel to curry favor with others despite your own inadequacies?"
Yan Yixuan was just speaking casually, but he didn't hit the man's nerve. The man's eyes widened as his face darkened: "Watch your tongue, you worthless bastard. Is it not enough that you also have little bast..."
The word bastard didn't make it out of his mouth the second time. The man's head snapped sideways as his back hit the wall with a loud bang!
Yan Yixuan retreats his hand as if nothing happens: "You can mock me, all you want. But don't you dare mention my children!"
The man blinked, he was dazed by the punch. But he quickly snapped out of it. He reached out for his phone and dialed a number: "Come here now!"
Soon, two men came into view, followed by three. The corridor darkened under their shadows. Yan Yixuan watched them calmly; he was intimidated by them in the slightest.
Yan Yixuan: "This place is not suitable for combat. Why don't we go somewhere else?"
"What, you want to run? Don't even think about it!" He said to his companions: "Teach him a lesson!"
Yan Yixuan was only trying to warn them out of good will. When he came in earlier, he saw a huge sign that said spiritual combat was prohibited in the residential area of the auction. But those guys were in over their own head and ignored him.
Yan Yixuan put the Waruku marrow packages in his storage ring as the two thugs came dashing at him. He sidestepped effortlessly, letting them punch an empty air. His movement was slow but, in their eyes, it seems very fast.
After exchanging a few moves, they still weren't able to touch him. The thugs were furious; thinking that Yan Yixuan was using his powers, so they channel their spiritual energy and charge at him swinging wildly. Fire and other elementals swirled around their fists.
*Spiritual Combat is prohibited in this hall. Dear guests, please be respectful of the rules! * A mechanical voice sounded from the ceiling.
But they were too busy to listen. The system warning alerts the surrounding crowd who follow the sound of the fight to watch the fun.
Each strike grew more desperate as their anger increased. Yan Yixuan was also fed up with their stubbornness; he intercepted their attacks and beat them up without even using spiritual power.
The crowd gasped as he redirected the force of the thug's punch into the wall, while he kicked the other one with the back of his heel. Some people even took out their phone to recall the scene.
Xiaobao and Suiyun could only hear the noise so they couldn't tell what was happening on the other side. What if their dad is at a disadvantage? Who's going to take care of them if he's hurt?
They were very worried.
Soon, police cars sirens were heard. Because of the crowd, it was difficult for the thugs to escape. Soon, the police arrive at the scene.
Looking at the people involved, six of them were panting heavily while the person standing in the middle seemed as if it had nothing to do with him.
