Sighing, Ye Yin turned around expressionlessly and was faced with a pair of almond eyes. This person really was here for business! But his timing sure was unfortunate!

"Brother Ye, I really adore Rouge! Brother Ye, what do you think we should do?" The man half leaned on the railing, his almond eyes so entrancing, every male in the hall froze. As expected of a casanova!

If he waved a handkerchief, everyone would flock to him!

Although Ye Yin constantly cursed at him in his heart, he wore a fake smile. "Brother Nangong means to say......"

"What a problem!" Nangong sighed, his voice melodious with a sliver of embarrassment. Frowning, his appearance was lovely but without its feminine qualities.

Ye Yin lowered his gaze, hiding the anger in his eyes. This person was very good at acting. If he himself did not often trick others, then perhaps he would have been tricked.

His acting was so superb, if not for the flash of ridicule in his eyes, Ye Yin could have been tricked.

"Does Brother Nangong plan to bid?" Ye Yin maintained his phony smile.

"I'm thinking about it! Unfortunately, I do not have enough, and," Nangong's gaze wandered around, finally landing on Ye Yin. He winked. "And how could we close brothers fight over a woman? I'd rather be loyal to my friend! Forget about it!"

If you're not going to raise the bid, then what are you meddling for! Inwardly, Ye Yin was angry, but he smiled and said, "How generous of Brother Nangong!"

However Ye Yin was not heard as another person exclaimed, "How could the wealthy master of Xiaoyao not have even just a few measly pieces of gold? Brother Nangong, if you do not have enough then shall I lend you some? Or......"

Damn it! Here came another annoyance who would waste more time. Qi Chengfeng and Chu Feiye would have more time to send more soldiers. Leaving these doors would be difficult!

When Nangong heard this voice, his eyes flashed brightly. "So it was you, brother Yang. What a coincidence that brother Yang also came here. Perhaps brother Yang, you......?" Then he grinned. "Strange. As far as I know, brother Yang usually does not care for women. Is brother Yang here to join in on the ruckus? However, is Brother Yang not worried that his status as lord of Mangci will not scare others away?"

What was this? A session to reveal identities? The positions of these two people were remarkable. One was the master of "Xiaoyao", the greatest intelligence agency of Nanrong while the other was the lord of Mangci, Xili's most infamous assassin guild. No matter who, both were high profile, well-known people. By comparison, Ye Yin was unremarkable. The master of Fusheng could not be compared to them!

But with these two here, Qi Chengfeng and Chu Feiye would likely not dare to pull any moves here. After all, these two people were not to be trifled with. Therefore, if they did not leave here tonight and these two stayed, then Intoxicated Dream will be safer than leaving. Unfortunately, this ruined his plan!

Ye Yin originally planned to catch Qi Chengfeng and Chu Feiye'se unprepared, snatching Rouge away, and then lure them away and attempt to recreate the ancient tale of "Lu Bu and Diao Chan"* that ended in mutual destruction, then reap the benefits. However, this change in circumstances would be better than the original plan!

*In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Diao Chan was a beautiful princess who was used by her adopted father Wang Yun (court official) to overthrow Dong Zhuo (prime minister/brutal sovereign) and to trick Lu Bu (adopted warrior son of Dong Zhuo). The father-and-son pair both fell in love with her, almost killing each other to decide who was going to marry her.
