Chapter 367: 367: Master is Good
Slim and petite, she exuded an exquisite aura, her astonishingly celestial beauty could leave anyone lost in admiration at mere sight.
She naturally attracted quite a crowd, all of them of the opposite sex. They were all spellbound, staring at her with captivated expressions.
Unmoved by the attention, she calmly examined an aqua-blue long dress.
When she reached out to feel the fabric of the dress, the men around her practically exploded.
“Goddess, so you like this dress? I’ll buy it for you!”
“You think you can afford it? It’s worth at least millions of high-grade spirit stones. This is half-god tier clothing. Do you have as much money as I do? Here, goddess, I’ll buy this for you.”
“Goddess, I can buy it for you too. I want nothing in return but a glance from you!”
The men raved, making a spectacle of themselves. Growing impatient, she contemplated leaving.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, she turned and locked eyes with Jiang Xiaobai.
Almost simultaneously, she gave a charming laugh, which was so enchanting that it made Jiang Xiaobai choke on his saliva.
Noticing Jiang Xiaobai’s odd behavior, Qiu Zixuan and the others were taken by surprise.
“Void Prince, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Su Lan was the first to speak.
Jiang Xiaobai took a deep breath, suppressing his internal unrest and repeatedly chanted in his heart.
“She won’t recognize me, she won’t recognize me!”
Despite his silent chants, she started laughing at him. She even pointed at the aqua-blue dress in front of many staring men.
Jiang Xiaobai’s lips twitched involuntarily. He was sure that he’d been recognized.
He was puzzled. He had veiled part of his aura and changed his appearance using special means. How could she still recognize him?
Having no choice and fearing he’d be exposed if he didn’t comply, Jiang Xiaobai decided to approach her. She was powerful and likely to stir up trouble. If she caused a scene, his plans would be compromised.
Reluctantly, Jiang Xiaobai walked towards Gu Ning.
“Buy it for me.”
Gu Ning softly spoke, her lips lightly trembling, giving off a sweet, romantic vibe.
The men around them felt their hearts melt, completely enchanted by Gu Ning’s grace and beauty.
Qiu Zixuan, Su Lan, and the others followed Jiang Xiaobai and were instinctively irked by seeing a woman bossing him around.
Before they could even say anything, Jiang Xiaobai stopped a sales assistant.
“You, yes you. I’ll take this dress. How much is it?”
The clerk, who had been admiring Gu Ning’s beauty from the side, sized Jiang Xiaobai up and down before scoffing dismissively.
“What a joke, do you even know how much this dress costs? Can you afford it with your shabby appearance?”
“That’s right. How could a useless man like you afford an outfit for a goddess? Even if you sold everything, how could that aid you in getting more than a glance from her?”
“Get lost! You’re embarrassing yourself. You’re just trying to make a name for yourself. Are you even qualified to be here?”
“You make me cringe. If you’re not qualified, don’t stir up trouble. Just leave.”
The smitten men around them joined in the mockery.
Seeing this, Su Lan instinctively glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and saw a grimace of discomfort on his face. She suddenly knew that Jiang Xiaobai, a stickler for propriety, would not tolerate such slander.
After that, Su Lan understood. Her lucky break was at hand!
Whether she would live a happy life, whether she would become rich, depended on how she handled the situation today!
“You insolent fools! How dare you disrespect the Void Prince?”
“Open your damn eyes and see! The Void Prince’s identity is not something you can casually discuss!”
Su Lan immediately started reprimanding them.
Those around them, including Qiu Zixuan, Liang Cheng, also yelled out loud in support. As sycophants of Jiang Xiaobai, they knew they had to behave like ones.
Although they weren’t qualified, if they didn’t speak up now, when would they?
As soon as these words were spoken, the men in the crowd who were captivated by Gu Ning’s beauty suddenly sobered up. Recognizing Su Lan’s identity, they looked at Jiang Xiaobai as if they had seen a ghost.
Who exactly was the Void Prince that even Su Lan was willing to serve him?
“And you, contemptuous fool! Young Master Gu Leng has instructed that all of the Void Prince’s expenses here are on him, how dare you criticize the Void Prince with your dog eyes?”
“Drag him away, ban him from the auction house forever!”
Su Lan sneered at the assistant, and two strong men assigned by Gu Leng promptly grabbed him and dragged him away.
Despite his begging for mercy, no one cared.
The worst possible sin for workers in such a place was belittlement of customers. It was taboo, a genially acknowledged no-go. This arrogant fool had asked for it.
The incident drew the attention of the surrounding crowd. They pointed and whispered about Jiang Xiaobai, but all of them respected and revered him.
Jiang Xiaobai cared for none of this. He chuckled and took the aqua-blue dress, then walked respectfully towards Gu Ning and handed it to her.
This deferential manner shocked everyone present.
Su Lan’s eyes nearly popped out.
Earlier, she had only thought that Jiang Xiaobai was attracted to this woman’s beauty and wanted to get closer to make friends.
But it didn’t seem to be the case now.
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s polite attitude, Gu Ning was amused.
She boldly stepped forward in front of hundreds of eyes, gently patting the head of Jiang Xiaobai, who was even taller than herself.
“Good disciple, I knew you were the best.”
After finishing her words, she held the aqua-blue dress in her hand. In a flash, she changed into the dress.
Instantly, the aura of Gu Ning as a goddess descended from heaven became more intense, so charming that everyone in the venue was captivated.
“Hehe, master, what a surprise to bump into you here.”
Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile, seemingly very attached to Gu Ning.
Su Lan and the others were shocked to witness this. Guided by their previous deductions about Jiang Xiaobai’s identity, a person capable of being his mentor would undoubtedly possess unimaginable power!
