Chapter 300: Super Windfall
What a pity, human desires are never satisfied, Zhou Yun actually wants to imprison her!What a bold thought!
Just as Xia Mian spoke, Lu Zechuan controlled the vines to pierce through Zhou Yun’s throat.o manage it, it was bound to be devoured!
In this situation, Xia Mian being willing to take over the auction house and become its new owner was a good thing for them!
With Xie Chengming’s shout, the guards trapped by the vines immediately began to show their loyalty, "We wish to follow the young lady!"
Xia Mian wasn’t so easily swayed, she waved her hand, creating a master-servant contract in the air.
"If you wish to follow me, put your names on it!" Xia Mian said indifferently, "I can’t just trust you based on words alone!"
These people were recruited by Zhou Yun, how much loyalty could they truly have to her?
Since everyone was in a relationship of mutual wariness and exploitation, it was more reassuring to directly classify them as servants!
After all, with the contract, if they harbor any thoughts against her, she could make them drop dead on the spot with a single thought.
As Xia Mian spoke, the guards at the auction house looked at each other in dismay.
Signing the master-servant contract would hand their lives over to someone else. With one thought, their lives could be forfeit!
However, if they didn’t sign now, their lives would be in immediate jeopardy!
These people hesitated for a moment, but quickly weighed the pros and cons.
If they don’t sign now, they will die immediately; if they sign now, there’s still a chance for survival.
So, some began actively seeking the contract, "Young lady, please release me so I can sign!"
"I’ll sign too!"
Lu Zechuan’s thin lips curved slightly, and with a casual wave, the vines entangling these people retreated like a tide.
Although they were no longer bound, these people didn’t dare leave, rushing to sign their names on the master-servant contract Xia Mian had created.
"Let me warn you, don’t think you can trick me with fake names!" Xia Mian sneered coldly, "Fake names can’t be signed onto it!"
Following Xia Mian’s words, several people visibly shook.
Xia Mian squinted slightly, seeing that some indeed tried to deceive her with fake names!
After Xia Mian’s warning, these people complied completely, obediently signing their real names.
Once everyone signed, Xia Mian dispersed the contract hovering in the air, laughing lightly, "I am a person who makes clear distinction between rewards and grievances. Behave yourselves and I won’t let you suffer. But if you harbor any split loyalty..."
Xia Mian didn’t finish her sentence, but everyone understood her meaning.
If there’s any split loyalty, they’ll never know how they died!
"Rest assured, young lady, we have no split loyalty!" Having signed the contract with Xia Mian, these people dared not entertain any other thoughts.
Xia Mian smiled slightly, then turned to Xie Chengming, "Mr. Xie is now my friend, I trust my friends. Mr. Xie, don’t disappoint me."
Xia Mian’s words carried deep implications, making Xie Chengming tense up immediately, quickly responding, "Rest assured, young lady, from now on, I am a blade for the young lady in the auction house!"
Xia Mian nodded lightly, "For the future source of auction items, you can look to the Divine Clan."
While saying this, Xia Mian thought to herself, fighting for the warehouse of the Divine Clan outside, even her cheap grandfather couldn’t take it easy!
Upon hearing this, Xie Chengming’s eyes lit up, "That’s wonderful!"
Everyone knows the Divine Clan’s deep foundations—anything leaked out would attract many to the auction.
Xia Mian felt gratified. Zhou Yun’s scheme backfired, giving her a solution to her longstanding problem.
Gaining an auction house for free, Xia Mian’s mood improved greatly, she walked with a spring in her step while holding the auction house deed.
"Us common folk are really happy today~" she sang in her delight.
Lu Zechuan, following behind her, shook his head speechlessly, his gaze towards Xia Mian filled with affection.
Gu Zhi exchanged a glance with Xia Weizhang, both feeling significantly relaxed.
This auction house trip had thrilling moments without real danger, and they gained a clearer understanding of how terrifying the elixirs Xia Mian had refined truly were!
From this moment on, Gu Zhi’s fear towards returning to the Gu Family diminished suddenly.
Xia Mian assured them her elixirs would only enhance physical fitness and wouldn’t strip away emotions.
Which was good news.
Humming a tune, Xia Mian returned to Jufang Pavilion late at night. Jufang Pavilion’s business was always brisk, with customers returning at all hours, hence its doors were always guarded.
