"Brother, why aren't you seizing the map? That's Celestial Water! " In a private room opposite Chu Moxi, Mu Xuan glared at the young man with a face full of enjoyment while looking at her.

When Chu Moxi heard the woman's words, her eyebrows creased and she immediately prepared to close the window.

"Do you know who that is?" The youth opened his eyes and coincidentally saw the pair of intelligent eyes in the gap of the window. His eyes glazed over for a moment.

"Aren't they from the Residence of Crown Prince? Even that woman Gong Qian is here. " When Mu Xuan thought about how Gong Qian, who had always liked to oppose him, had auctioned that item, she felt displeased in her heart.

"Who's backing is the Prince's Mansion?" Only after the window on the other side was completely closed did Mu Xuan withdraw his gaze with a regretful expression.

"Duke Gong Palace? Isn't it just that concubine Qi? " Mu Xuan had an unhappy expression. If she hadn't been engaged to that idiot Prince at that time, wouldn't she still be sitting with him in the position of concubine?

"You …" Towards this half-sister of his, Mu Xuan's tone was filled with impatience. Back then, after she became an idiot when she went to the Duke Chen Palace to cancel the engagement, Mu Xuan had started to dislike her from that time onwards.

This time, if it wasn't for Mu Wangfei ordering him to bring her to see the world, he wouldn't have entered and exited with this woman.

"It was originally! What's so great about a concubine? If you have the ability, then go and compete with Imperial Concubine Mu! " Probably, if she couldn't eat the grapes, she would say they were sour, which was Mu Xuan's.

Mu Xuan couldn't be bothered to deal with her. He brushed away the girls by his side as he got up to leave the private room. His gaze had always been on the private room across the room. The other party had entered private room number one.

Because the final item had already been obtained, the auction could be considered to be coming to an end.

Ji Ling'er hurriedly said a few final words before ending the scene.

Chu Moxi stayed in the private room and did not move as she fiddled with the jade letter left behind by Bing Sen. She was waiting. Waiting for someone else to make a move. She didn't think that it would be that easy for the people from the Royal Clan to bring the map back to the Imperial Palace. At the same time, she was also waiting for someone who wanted to come knocking on her door.

Only when most of the people had left the auction house did Chu Moxi slowly stand up and walk out of the private box at an unhurried pace.

Just as he arrived at the staircase, he saw a familiar figure below.

Ji Chenger had come! Chu Moxi restrained the smile on her face and slowly walked down.

Ji Cheng'er, who was at the foot of the stairs, looked at Chu Moxi, who was descending. Her eyes flickered with a struggle, she must be different. How could a country bumpkin like her have a jade slip from room number 1?

However, Chu Moxi, who didn't want to stand on the last step, broke her last hope. "What a coincidence, we meet again." Chu Moxi's tone didn't reveal any emotion, but she very successfully shattered Ji Chenger's hopes.

"You … "I …" She stuttered, unable to speak a coherent sentence.

"You mean the bamboo block you gave me?" Chu Moxi opened her hand, revealing the bamboo block in her hand. Together with it was the synonym for the identity of room # 1 — — Jade Strip.

When Ji Cheng'er saw the jade letter, his body finally staggered. She stared at Chu Moxi with disbelief in her eyes.

Chu Moxi's gaze swept over the crowd and coincidentally saw that at the end of the corridor, a few people from the Residence of Crown Prince came out from Ji Ling'er's office under Ji Ling'er's guidance. Chu Moxi guessed that this should be a passageway specially prepared by the Treasure Exchange Hall for guests who had obtained some great treasures.

"Pavilion Master Ji, I will remember your kindness towards me." She impatiently looked at Ji Cheng`er and left a message behind. Then, she walked around Ji Cheng`er and headed out of the Treasure Trading Pavilion.

The auction provided the royal family with an alternative route, but would that stop anyone who wanted to? Chu Moxi sneered in her heart. She really liked the feeling of being hunted by mantis and cicadas while the oriole was being hunted.

After leaving the Treasure school, the cold wind raged on her face. Chu Moxi wrapped her cloak around her head and slowly walked towards the direction of the Mysterious Gate, which was a must-pass for those in the imperial city.

Along the way, she noticed that there seemed to be people heading this way. They were probably thinking the same thing as Chu Moxi.

Chu Moxi's footsteps were neither fast nor slow. Furthermore, she would occasionally stop to look at the surrounding stalls.

Thanks to this auction, the surrounding streets were not cold at all. There were even stalls placed on both sides of the street. Although they were all snacks, Chu Moxi did not mind it as if she came for this snack and ate all the way to the Middle Mysterious Gate.

The people around her, who had the same attitude as her, started to shift their gazes that were originally on guard against Chu Moxi.

Who would think that a glutton would come for that map?

From afar, Chu Moxi saw some red armored imperial guards rushing towards the middle profound gate. They were probably here to support the Gong Family. Unfortunately, the large group of people from the other side managed to block them from coming to the other side.

The imperial guards who had come forward to assist were blocked off from the entrance of the Gate of Heavenly Secrets. On the other side, Prince Gong's Mansion was surrounded by a group led by a young man with a fan in his hand.

"You guys are under the hands of the Son of Heaven, and you dare to steal his things …" The old man from the Residence of Crown Prince roared.

"Great treasures belong to those who have seen it. If not, why don't you take out this map and copy it for everyone?" There was a hint of disdain in the voice. The tone did not mean that everyone was going to copy it, but that everyone believed that the map was already in his grasp.

"This is something that my Prince Gong's Mansion has auctioned... "You guys actually dare to peek, you sure have guts …" As he spoke, the old man chopped out his Spiritual Yuan. The Spiritual Master Stage could transform Spiritual Yuan into fog, which roiled about.

"Bold or not, you'll know soon enough." As the youth spoke, the fan in his hand also swung out with mist.

Because he was the first one to face it, the young man's movements carried a probing meaning. The release of his spirit energy meant that he was at the peak of the Spiritual Master Stage. In other words, he was even stronger than that old man!

This was the first time Chu Moxi had seen a battle between spirit masters. Her eyes were unblinkingly focused on the people on both sides, especially the young man with the fan. She absolutely did not believe that this person was a good person.

Especially during the previous auction, the one who had spoken with his eyes closed was this person's voice.

A knife and a fan collided. The originally weak fan actually made a crisp sound when it made contact with the blade.

In other words, the fan was not as simple as it looked on the surface.

"As expected, this young man is not ordinary." If there were no other experts on the side of the royal family, the map would definitely fall into his hands.

Chu Moxi's hand tightened. Just as she was about to move, a faint aura came from behind her.
