Originally, there should have been very few pedestrians on the streets on this winter's night. However, since today was the day of the Treasure Pavilion's auction, the streets of the capital were bustling with activity.
Dressed in a black cloak, Chu Moxi jumped out of the window. Just as she was about to run away, a white figure accurately landed on her shoulder.
Chu Moxi's face immediately turned black. Why was he always following her? Earlier, she found out that this bastard was sleeping soundly, which was why she came out. She didn't expect it to follow her again. It was simply like a lingering ghost. Glaring at Zhu Bajie who was fast asleep on his shoulder, Chu Moxi disappeared into the twilight with a few leaps.
There were a lot of people in front of the Treasure Trading Pavilion. There were a few burly men standing at the entrance, inspecting the bamboo slips in the hands of the people who entered the Treasure Trading Pavilion.
"There are really a lot of people coming to the Treasure Pavilion to participate in this auction! The bamboo slip that woman gave him is probably not that good, right? " Recalling the look on that woman's face when she asked for the bamboo block, Chu Moxi was sure of her thoughts.
She took out the bamboo slip she got from Ji Cheng`er and passed it to the big man at the entrance of the Treasure Trading Pavilion. Then, she followed the crowd and entered the Treasure Trading Pavilion.
Chu Mo Xi quickly found her own seat, which was at the corner of the Treasure Pavilion's hall. It was the most unremarkable place in the Treasure Trading Pavilion. The corner of Chu Moxi's mouth curled into a sneer, "As expected, that woman didn't arrange a good seat for her."
This Treasure Pavilion was filled with people. In front of Chu Moxi, there were people on the left and on the right. Behind her was a wall. Chu Moxi tried her best to use her spirit essence to isolate the people in front, left, and right from the crowd. She sniffed the smell of the people around her and was almost certain that it was done on purpose by that woman.
Zhu Bajie, who was in Chu Moxi's pocket, rolled his eyes. Then, he released a transparent protective cover around Chu Moxi. After yawning, he continued to dream.
"Ji Chenger, I will kill you if I don't do it. I will bear the same name as you." Gritting her teeth in her heart, Chu Moxi turned her gaze in the direction of the crowd. Because right now, it was already packed with people, so it was impossible for her to leave.
The main hall was filled with commoner residents of the city, so from the sound of the commotion, it was obvious to see. On the second floor, there were nearly twenty windows, some of which were closed, and some of which were open. Those people should be guests of the Treasure school, so they had their own seats.
"Holy shit, they really look down on people with their dog eyes!" Chu Moxi cursed in her heart as she stared at the open windows of the room, trying to guess their identity.
In the number one room of the Treasure House, Icewood was standing next to a window, and in the center of the room sat a person. He was dressed in black, his sleeves were covered with profound patterns, and his face was downcast as he watched the teacup in his hands, thinking about something.
Suddenly, she raised her head. Her eyes flashed as she asked, "Why is she here?" The smell of the pig was so close.
Shang Chen stood up, his eyes looking around the hall below. There were many people in the hall, but the familiar aura made it easy for Shang Chen to find the cloaked Chu Mo Xi.
Shang Chen smirked under his mask as he headed for the door.
When Bing Sen heard the door open, he turned around and realized that Shang Chen was walking out. He immediately wanted to follow him.
"Don't follow." Shang Chen left a few words before he disappeared into the private box.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk …" They are all royalty! " Don't ask how Chu Moxi was able to recognize them. Those people in the open windows were wearing clothes, and they were just boasting about how noble they were.
As for acquaintances, Chu Moxi had seen quite a few. For example, she had met the woman earlier in the day, as well as Lin Xuan. It was likely that Duke Chu was present as well, such as Lin Lu Bai.
Suddenly, more and more people crowded over. Especially when the people around her discovered that she was a woman, they all looked over and even intentionally squeezed over towards Chu Moxi.
F * ck, why are all of you squeezing! If you push me any more, I'll throw you out one by one. Chu Moxi was already gnashing her teeth in anger. She raised both her hands to throw these people out, but she was already unable to endure it any longer.
Just as Chu Moxi was about to throw him away, a hand suddenly broke through the barrier set up by Zhu Bajie and grabbed onto her arm. Chu Moxi fell into an ice-cold embrace without any preparation, and the hair on her back immediately stood up. She raised her right hand, and was about to start brushing when a familiar voice was heard, "Why are you here?"
Shang Chen raised his head and swept his ice-cold gaze over Chu Moxi and the rest. All of them shuddered at the same time. Just now, they felt as if they had walked into hell. He looked at Shang Chen in horror, and then started to shrink forward.
"Chenchen?" Touching Chu Moxi, she turned her head in frustration and coincidentally met with Shang Chen's pair of deep eyes. Chu Moxi was a little dazed. Dammit, how come she had never noticed that the ice man's eyes were purple? It was even a very deep purple color.
"Right." The corner of Chen's mouth curled up into a smile. His left hand brushed away the cloak on Chu Moxi's head, while his right hand reached into her waist. With a gentle grasp, he grabbed her waist.
When he saw her being approached by these people, he already had the thought of annihilating all of them. When he finally took her in his arms, Shang Chen's heart was a little satisfied.
This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she had come so close to a man. It was so close that she could feel the heartbeats of the people behind her, and so close that she could smell the breath he puked out on the side of her neck.
"Chu Moxi is not an unreasonable person. Not to mention that she had long believed in Shang Chen." Why are you here? "
"Let's go." He did not wish for them to be so ambiguous in front of the public. He practically carried Chu Moxi to the second floor.
After that, he kicked the door open and Icy Forest, who was in the private room, turned around in alarm and saw the Palace Master carrying a person in.
"Bing Sen, hold it." Shang Chen directly threw the Eight Pieces of Pig on Chu Moxi's shoulder to Bing Sen, and then placed Chu Moxi on the sofa in the private room.
When Bing Sen saw Chu Moxi under her cloak, he immediately carried the pig out of the private room and stood guard outside.
"Why are you in that corner of the hall?" Shang Chen's tone turned cold again.
"To participate in the auction." Chu Moxi sized up the private box. This should be the Sky No. 1 box of the auction house. What was Chenchen? Use room number one?
"Bing Sen got this room. Tell Bing Sen to give you the plate later. If you come back, just come in." Seemingly having seen through Chu Moxi's thoughts, Shang Chen directly said. He did not wish to see her in the hall at all.
"Right." Chu Moxi had already impolitely taken some heart from the table to eat.
"Is it delicious?" Shang Chen asked as he poured tea for Chu Mo Xi.
"It's even more delicious than what Lian'er cooks." Chu Mo Xi replied as she ate. She almost choked on the dessert. Shang Chen immediately served her tea. Chenchen, what are you doing here? "
"I received the news that there was immortal water here, so I came to take a look." Shang Chen raised his hand to wipe away the leftover dim sum crumbs from Chu Mo Xi's mouth.
