After hearing Chu Qing’s words, Ye Chenxi’s eyes instantly turned red.

However, she did not want Chu Qing to see her expression. She tilted her head and said softly, “I just don’t want to care about those things. Besides, you won’t leave me alone, right?”

After Ye Chenxi finished speaking, she blinked her big, watery eyes. Chu Qing instantly lost his composure. The seriousness that he had put on with great difficulty was gone. He had been defeated by Ye Chenxi. How could Chu Qing be serious in the face of such a delicate beauty who wheedled to him?

“I definitely won’t care about you,” Chu Qing said angrily.

How could Ye Chenxi not understand what Chu Qing meant? She immediately smiled cheekily and returned to being the energetic young lady. Chu Qing was speechless. When the auction ended, Ye Chenxi naturally did not want to go home. However, she had no choice but to listen to Mrs. Ye. She could only bid farewell to Chu Qing reluctantly.

When he left, he looked at her gaze as if he was saying, “The next time we meet, I’ll definitely eat you up.”

Chu Qing couldn’t take it anymore. There was still a trace of anticipation in the depths of his heart.

Once Ye Chenxi left, only Chu Qing and Zhai Yu were left in the private room. They could say whatever was inconvenient to say.

Zhai Yu didn’t stand on ceremony and asked Chu Qing directly, “Do you want the three million yuan now or to repay the debt? I’m not in a hurry with that money.”

“Pay off the debt.” This was a decision Chu Qing had made long ago.

Even brothers need to settle their accounts clearly. Although five million yuan was a small amount for Zhai Yu, he still had to recover the borrowed money. Even if he eventually gave it back to Chu Qing, borrowing and giving were different matters. Chu Qing and Zhai Yu both understood this, so there was no harm in speaking directly without causing any hurt feelings.

“By the way, do you know who bought that ambrosia in the end?” Chu Qing asked.

That piece of Tao metal was currently Chu Qing’s best and only option. He didn’t want to let this opportunity slip away, but ambrosia was attracting too much attention and was in high demand. Chu Qing had to take an indirect approach. The wine that ancient martial arts families needed didn’t conflict with his own goals. Therefore, it wasn’t impossible for Chu Qing to acquire the Tao metal without any lingering issues.

Zhai Yu’s gaze darkened as he answered Chu Qing, “I know the buyer, but I can’t tell you. This is the rule of the family and my principle. I’m sorry, but if you’re interested in ambrosia, I’ll take note of it if there’s something similar. I can buy it and give it to you.”

Chu Qing understood what Zhai Yu meant and felt that he had said something wrong. Not only was he not unhappy about this, but he also blamed himself. Zhai Yu was the kind of friend he was willing to make.

Today, Zhai Yu wouldn’t compromise his guest’s privacy because of him. This also meant that Zhai Yu would also not betray him for personal gains or any other factors.

“I misspoke.” Chu Qing apologized to Zhai Yu.

The two of them looked at each other and saw each other’s intentions. This matter passed just like that. Chu Qing also explained to Zhai Yu, “What I want is actually not ambrosia, but a bottle to store it.”

“A bottle?” Zhai Yu was surprised when he heard that. He continued, “Could that be a treasure? Could there be something that I have set my eyes on?”

As Zhai Yu spoke, he utilized his Golden Pupils to carefully observe Chu Qing’s every action. Tonight, Chu Qing’s behavior seemed different and unusual, causing Zhai Yu to realize that the person he thought he knew so well had become an enigma once again, shrouded in uncertainty.

With a single thought, Chu Qing channeled his soul power, transforming it into two ethereal leaves that swiftly shot out from his eyes, aiming directly at Zhai Yu’s eyes. Startled, Zhai Yu abruptly ceased his cultivation, realizing the imminent danger. Had he continued, he would undoubtedly have sustained serious injuries.

“Don’t flaunt your eye technique in front of me. That bottle may indeed be a great treasure, but it’s of no use to you,” Zhai Yu retorted. Chu Qing had long been aware of Zhai Yu’s mastery of an eye technique since Zhai Yu had first employed the Golden Pupils.

However, Chu Qing chose not to expose Zhai Yu. He wondered why a prestigious family like Zhai Yu’s had to keep things hidden. After knowing each other for so long, it made Chu Qing uncomfortable that Zhai Yu was still secretly observing him. Thus, Chu Qing decided to confront him directly and expose his actions.

After being discovered by Chu Qing, no matter how thick-skinned Zhai Yu was, he still felt a little embarrassed. After smiling bitterly, he agreed. “Alright, I won’t show off my insignificant cultivation in front of you in the future. However, aren’t you afraid that I’ll secretly get my hands on it when you tell me that it’s a treasure? Even if that thing is useless to me, it’s still a treasure. Who doesn’t think it’s too much?”

Chu Qing did not answer. He badc farewell. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

He could not be bothered by Zhai Yu’s probing and would not say pretentious words.

Zhai Yu did not continue. He only asked, “Are you in such a hurry to leave? What’s the matter? I still want to bring you to a good place.”

“Are you serious? It’s already late at night, and I have a class tomorrow. I haven’t even done my homework, and I didn’t inform my parents that I went out. Do you honestly think everything is alright? Seriously?” Chu Qing couldn’t help but find Zhai Yu’s question quite foolish and wondered if he was intentionally being oblivious to the situation.

Zhai Yu was taken aback by Chu Qing’s response, but he found it amusing. After laughing heartily for a while, he looked at Chu Qing with a mischievous expression and said, “My bad, I didn’t realize. Well, it’s because you don’t look like a student at all, that’s why I forgot. Alright, enough about that. You should hurry home and do your homework. Be a good boy.”

Previously, Chu Qing stood beside Zhai Yu and an invisible pressure came. But now, when Zhai Yu thought of how Chu Qing was still a student, he couldn’t help but find it funny.

Chu Qing was speechless at Zhai Yu’s teasing. What could he do about this? He gave Zhai Yu the middle finger and turned to leave.

After Chu Qing left, Zhai Yu seemed to have thought of something and shouted from behind, “I’ll help you pay attention to the bottle.”

“Thank you.” Chu Qing waved his hand with his back facing Zhai Yu.

Chu Qing understood that when Zhai Yu made a promise, he would follow through and give his best. They didn’t need to express it in words—it was an unspoken understanding between them. Zhai Yu was a reliable person, and in Chu Qing’s heart, he had already regarded him as a true friend, someone he could rely on in life-and-death situations..
