Chapter 190: Two Women Vying

Faced with Huaxiang Xi and Jiang Yuehuo's unreserved favoritism toward Lin Yang.

Although the anger in Chu Yue's heart burned fiercely, she deeply knew she had no way to deal with it.

She could only suppress her anger and snap at the nearby waiter, shouting, "What are you looking at?"

"Hurry up and arrange the Heavenly Character No. 18 private room for me!"

Although she was full of resentment, Chu Yue also understood clearly.

Huaxiang Xi and Jiang Yuehuo were giving Lin Yang their full support from behind.

She simply could not get any benefit at this moment.

She could only secretly think, "A gentleman's revenge; ten years is not too late."

Furthermore, the most pressing matter at present is the auction of the Lion King Bone.

Once she could secure the Lion King Bone, her strength would surely increase greatly.

By that time.

Even Jiang Yuehuo and Huaxiang Xi would have to look at her with new eyes.

However.

The waitress, however, remained calm and composed, replying, "Miss, I'm really sorry, but just now……"

"The Heavenly Character No. 18 private room has already been booked."

Chu Yue froze on the spot upon hearing that.

His face full of disbelief, he asked sharply, "It's been booked?"

"Who booked it?"

"Don't you know this private room has always been mine?"

"Go tell that person to get them out right away!"

Chu Yue never imagined that she was the daughter of the sect leader of the Great Dao Sect, one of the Zhongzhou Five Major Powers.

She usually got whatever she wanted—wind when she wanted wind, rain when she wanted rain—but today she was extraordinarily unlucky, hitting walls everywhere.

The waitress still wore a professional smile, her tone neither cold nor warm, as she said, "Miss, I'm truly sorry, but this is not something I can decide."

After saying that,

She then politely bowed slightly, turned, and hurried away.

Only Chu Yue remained on the spot, trembling with rage, her grievance and anger having nowhere to vent.

At that moment, however, the atmosphere inside the Heavenly Character No. 18 private room was completely different.

Wufa appeared calm and detached, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him.

He was slowly sipping the fine wine in his cup.

Wutianze sat beside him, his thick arms bulging with muscle, the hand gripping a large iron fist casually resting on the table.

His whole person exuded a heroic aura.

He grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and laughed loudly, "Big brother, that Northern King Blade is really a fat sheep!"

"If we two brothers kill him, the treasures we find in his little treasury alone will be enough to let us enjoy ourselves for a while!"

Wufa gently set down his wine cup, the corners of his mouth slightly lifting as he revealed a faint smile, and spoke softly.

"Don't speak of these things anymore, don't become fixated."

"Moreover, wealth is merely an external possession; one should not be too attached to it."

Wutian scratched his head and gave a hehe laugh, saying, "Big brother, you see things clearly, but enjoying this fine food and drink occasionally is not bad either!"

The two of them laughed while continuing to drink their wine leisurely and contentedly.

They were completely unaware of Chu Yue's anger and resentment outside the private room.

…………

Just then, inside the Heavenly Character No. 3 private room, the atmosphere was somewhat delicate.

Lin Yang and Kong Qing Xiaozi sat quietly, their glances occasionally falling on Jiang Yuehuo and Huaxiang Xi, who were secretly competing with each other.

The two refused to yield to each other, and when their eyes met, it seemed as if sparks flew.

There was a competitive vibe.

Lin Yang, helpless at their behavior, was the first to break the deadlock: "Speak up, what exactly is the matter?"

His voice was steady, carrying a hint of unquestionable composure.

Huaxiang Xi was about to speak when Jiang Yuehuo jumped in first, her tone tinged with urgency, saying, "What gives you the right to speak first?"

Saying that, she gave Huaxiang Xi a provocative glance.

Huaxiang Xi's eyes widened as she responded without weakness, "Then you speak first?"

"Fine, I'll speak first!" Jiang Yuehuo declared bluntly, puffing out her chest as she prepared to speak.

But just then, Huaxiang Xi gave a sly smile, as if she had caught onto something, and said, "What I mean is, what gives you the right to speak first?"

Jiang Yuehuo replied, "If I don't speak first, does that mean you should?"

"All right, then I'll speak first." Huaxiang Xi immediately agreed upon seeing that.

Upon hearing that, Jiang Yuehuo flushed with anger, pointing at Huaxiang Xi and unable to speak for a while, "You… you're not being shameless, are you?"

"Since President Jiang is so magnanimous, letting me speak first, I would be rude to refuse."

Huaxiang Xi's lips curled into a victorious smile, and she didn't forget to glance triumphantly at Jiang Yuehuo.

"You can't speak first!" Jiang Yuehuo was still struggling.

"I insist on speaking first!" Huaxiang Xi would not yield an inch.

The two exchanged words, their faces flushed red from arguing, neither willing to back down.

Lin Yang watched this scene, feeling only a buzzing in his head.

He rubbed his temples, really couldn't hold back, raised his hand and pointed forcefully at Hua Xiangxi, saying: "You arrived first, you speak first!"

Lin Yang's voice carried obvious irritation and impatience.

Hua Xiangxi heard this, and her face instantly blossomed into a radiant smile.

She elegantly tidied her hair and deliberately spoke slowly: "Young Master Lin, I specially reserved the Heaven-Character Room Two for you; didn't my disciples tell you?"

While speaking, she also glanced at Jiang Yuehuo from the corner of her eye, her gaze full of showing off.

Lin Yang merely nodded lightly upon hearing it, understanding in his heart what she wanted to say.

Thus, he didn't want to linger, directly turned his gaze to Jiang Yuehuo and said in a flat tone: "Alright, you speak."

Jiang Yuehuo immediately perked up, took a quick step forward, her face full of a sweet smile, her voice so soft it could drip water as she said.

"Young Master, I specially reserved the Heaven-Character Room One for you; why did you still book a private room yourself?"

"But if someone in the Four Seas Merchant Guild provided inadequate service and made you unhappy?"

While speaking, she also gently fanned with a handkerchief, her eyes blinking eagerly as she looked at Lin Yang.

After hearing that, Lin Yang helplessly waved his hand, his tone speechless as he said: "Alright, I understand what you mean; it's just that I don't want to go."

"You don't want to go?" Both women were stunned.

"Why?"

They spoke in unison.

Lin Yang slowly said: "I just like staying here; if you have nothing else, please leave first."

Upon hearing that, Jiang Yuehuo reacted extremely quickly, like a nimble little deer, swiftly sitting beside Lin Yang.

She affectionately linked arms with Lin Yang and said: "Young Master, I'm not going anywhere either; I'll stay here to pour you wine."

Her voice was soft and tender, her eyes full of clinging, as if she wanted to stick Lin Yang to her side.

Seeing this, Hua Xiangxi's face instantly turned grim, a flash of disgust in her eyes, but more prominently, barely concealed jealousy.

She bit her lip, walked a few steps to Lin Yang's other side, grabbed his other arm, and coquettishly said: "Young Master Lin, I'll come drink with you; let her pour our wine."

While saying that, she deliberately pointed at Jiang Yuehuo, her eyes full of provocation.

Thus, the two sat tightly on Lin Yang's left and right, neither willing to yield.

Meanwhile.

At the auction site, the bidding for the Lion King's Bone officially began, the lively clamor transmitting into the private room………………
