As Bai Su sat in her seat, she was just able to see everything below through the opened curtain.
It was a very spacious lobby. The walls around the lobby were pitch black, so it was hard to tell what they were made of.
There was a circular stage in the middle, and on it was a long table with a few plates neatly arranged on it. The mouths of the plates were covered with red cloth.
Bai Su guessed that the item on the plate should be the item of the auction.
The people from the Exquisite Hand Hall were so relaxed, they were not worried that something would get robbed at all?
Just as he was thinking, a fiery red figure suddenly flew down from the sky above the lobby, then with a quick spin, landed steadily on the stage.
"Welcome to the Exquisite Hand Hall's secret underground villa!"
The red-clothed beauty wore a red ghost mask on her face.
No wonder he wasn't worried about being disturbed at all.
The greeting did not last long. Soon, the red-clothed beauty introduced the first medicine of the auction — — Herba Lonicerae. It also offered a starting price of five hundred silver taels, with an additional one hundred silver taels for one bid. The highest bidder would receive one hundred silver taels.
Hearing that, Bai Su immediately put down the teacup, patted Mu Zixuan's arm and said: You must get this Herba Lonicerae later!
"Why?"
"I'm sure you're right."
Someone in the pavilion upstairs began to bid.
Not long later, the Herba Lonicerae had raised its bid to five thousand taels of silver.
Mu Zixuan couldn't help but be dumbstruck when he saw those unfamiliar people call out a stalk of grass for such a high price.
He turned around and looked at Bai Su. "It's just a piece of broken grass, have those people gone mad?"
Bai Su glanced at him: "If I were to say that the broken blade of grass could cure a person's disfigured appearance to the point where they couldn't see the slightest flaw, would you still think that those people are crazy?"
Mu Zixuan blinked his eyes, he suddenly stood up and shouted: "Five! "No, six thousand!"
What a joke, what kind of grass was this strong? How could he not snatch it?!
One had to know that there were scars on his face where the group of men in black had cut him!
Since the other party had raised the bid by a hundred silver taels, Liu Ming's heart skipped a beat and he immediately raised the bid by a thousand silver taels. The surroundings immediately became quiet.
"How is it, Sister Susu? I'm powerful right?
Just as Mu Zixuan was sitting down proudly and drinking tea, a clear female voice came out from the pavilion beside him. "Six thousand one hundred liang."
"…"
Mu Zixuan spat out his tea!
"There's actually someone who dares to bid with me!" He suddenly stood up, raised his fist, and shouted, "Seven thousand taels!"
"Seven thousand and one hundred taels."
"Eight thousand!"
"Eight thousand one hundred liang."
"…"
The lady would raise the bid every time Mu Zixuan called for a bid, and would only raise it by a hundred taels at the same time.
This was clearly toying with him!
Mu Zixuan was going crazy!
He turned around and glanced at Bai Su, gritted his teeth, and loudly shouted: "Ten thousand!"
"Hua!"
Shouts of surprise rang out from all around. There were countless people praising this young master for his boldness.
There was a long silence from the pavilion beside him.
Mu Zixuan used his inner force to listen.
"Brother, I want that stalk of grass!" Can you let me raise the price, please? "
"…"
"Brother, you should know how important this Herba Lonicerae is to your cousin. If you can't get it, your cousin's face would be ruined and he would never be able to recover."
The person who was addressed as brother was quiet for a long time before asking, "Did you bring enough silver taels?"
"I …" The woman took a deep breath and quieted down. "Cousin, I'm sorry."
Another gentle male voice said, "It doesn't matter. Cousin, sometimes life must always come to an end.
"Humph!" Don't let me know who robbed my Herba Lonicerae! "
"…"
Mu Zixuan could not help but shiver.
Bai Su glanced at him, and asked slowly: "What did you eavesdrop on?"
Mu Zixuan coughed lightly and turned around. While touching the back of his head, he told his honestly, "There are three people next door, and that female cousin's face is disfigured. She wants this stalk of grass. "I heard that she wanted to increase the price, but her brother said he didn't bring that much money with him …"
"Oh." Bai Su replied indifferently, and pouted downstairs: "Hey, that beauty wants you to pay for the goods."
"I don't have any money." Mu Zixuan shook his head and quickly said, "I only helped you pay the entrance fee with my only one hundred silver."
"…"
Bai Su held the teacup, and looked at him like she was an idiot.
Mu Zixuan laughed like a ruffian, "Sister Susu, I heard that you have done a great job in curing the plague. I think, you wouldn't just stand by and watch me die. "
"…" OOXX!
Bai Su really wanted to turn into a hero and throw this lowly brat in front of him down!
"I cheated you for a hundred liang, but you turned around and cheated me for ten thousand liang!" "This plan is really working out well!"
Mu Zixuan laughed: "I learned them from elder sister."
Bai Su felt so much pain in her heart that she paid ten thousand silver for Mu Zixuan. She glared at the brat who was squatting down and patting her leg angrily.
"From now on, you are elder sister's slave! You have to listen to elder sister, do you hear me! "
Mu Zixuan laughed respectfully: "Yes, yes, yes, from today onwards, this little one will be big sister's slave.
Items were being auctioned downstairs one after another.
Bai Su was not interested, she was only interested in the main event that would happen in a while.
As he was meditating with his eyes closed, someone knocked on the door.
Mu Zixuan glanced at Bai Su, got up, and opened the door.
At the door stood a young girl wearing pink clothes and a ghost mask. Although her face couldn't be seen, her eyes were extremely lively.
"Miss, who are you looking for?" Mu Zixuan asked politely.
As soon as the girl heard his voice, she pointed at him and said angrily, "So it's you and Ben … I'm going to steal the Herba Lonicerae! "
Mu Zixuan was startled, and realised that she was the woman who had purposely raised his price, and snorted: "What do you mean by fighting with me? They said the highest bidder would win. Did you get your head bitten by a donkey? Do you not understand, or are you just pretending not to? "
"What are you pretending for!" The girl grabbed his shirt, "Your head was bitten by a donkey! "Stinky brat, you dare to scold me? Watch how I take care of you!"
Ah!" Before Mu Zixuan could react, his jaw was punched, "You damned girl, how dare you hit my face!
It had to be known that he had spent so much just to get the Herba Lonicerae to remove the scar on his face.
The moment Mu Zixuan became angry, he immediately stopped attacking in a serious manner, grabbing onto the young lady's clothes, he raised his fist and was about to punch her in the chest!
Ah!" The young girl didn't expect her opponent to be so powerful. Moreover, she didn't know how to be modest. She immediately closed her eyes in fear and shouted for help, "Brother, save me!
"Stop." Bai Su sat behind Mu Zixuan. Although sshe did not turn his head, he was able to clearly hear Mu Zixuan's moves, "Xiao Jiu, for you to attack this lady's chest like that, is that really okay?"
"…"
Mu Zixuan was stunned. He looked at the girl in front of him and could not bring himself to continue.
The girl opened her eyes, looked at Mu Zixuan's fist, and then lowered her head to look at her chest. She couldn't help but let out an "Ah" sound as she pushed Mu Zixuan away!
After tidying up her clothes and seeing that Mu Zixuan was still in a daze, she gritted her teeth and grabbed off his ghost mask, raising her fist and punching him in the eyes!
"Oh!" Mu Zixuan's body fell backwards.
Seeing that, Bai Su unfaithfully retreated to the side, letting him lie on the ground in glory.
"What's going on?" A grey figure rushed over and grabbed the girl's wrist, saying in a stern voice, "Are you causing trouble again?"
The young lady took off the mask on her face, pointed at Mu Zixuan who was lying on the ground and said to the man beside her: "Brother, it's him, he bullied me first!"
Mu Zixuan rubbed his eyes as he crawled up, pointed at the girl, and said: "Who's bullying you? It's obviously you … Eh? It's you! "
The angry girl had also clearly seen Mu Zixuan's appearance at this time. She opened her eyes wide and said: "It's you? Mu Zixuan? "
"The zither music of the Seventh Princess of the zither?" Fortunately, Mu Zixuan had removed his hand from his eyes and stared at the zither music, his face full of anger: "I thought it was someone that dared to beat this prince up!"
"So what if I beat you up!" The zither refused to admit defeat as it stared back.
The two of them had met each other a few times in Beimu Kingdom, so they could be considered to know each other.
"Alright!" The gray-robed man snapped, "Yin'er, aren't you ashamed of yourself?"
"Brother!" Qin Yin still wanted to say something, but she was afraid of the man's eyes. She glared at Mu Zixuan with a look of unwillingness, and then closed his mouth.
"Humph!" Mu Zixuan was not in a good mood after getting beaten up.
"Ninth Prince." The gray robed man cupped his fists, and cupped his hands towards Mu Zixuan: "I apologize on behalf of my sister, please do not take offense to it."
"You are the zither of the Western Zither Second Prince?" Unable to see the face of the gray-robed man, Mu Zixuan guessed.
Qin Yin nodded. "That's right."
Mu Zixuan cupped his hands and replied: "Since Second Prince has apologized to me, then this prince will not mind this lowly one, and let her go."
"You!" Qin Yin stood behind the zither string and pointed at Mu Zixuan, seemingly wanting to fight another round.
The strings looked back at her, and she fell silent as a sheep.
"Ninth Prince." The zither strings said to Mu Zixuan, "I have a presumptuous request, I would like to discuss it with the Ninth Prince."
"You want this Herba Lonicerae?" Mu Zixuan didn't like to mince words, so he said straightforwardly, "I just heard from all of you that some cousin was disfigured and wanted to treat him right?"
Qin Yin's eyes changed slightly as she nodded. "Yes." Since we are all familiar with each other, I humbly request that the Ninth Prince sell this Herba Lonicerae to me.
Mu Zixuan pursed his lips, he did not say anything immediately.
When the zither music from the side saw this, she anxiously said, "My royal brother is already begging you like this, but you still won't agree, right? What use do you have of the Herba Lonicerae? "
Mu Zixuan touched the small scar on his left cheek hesitantly.
Qin Yin saw it with her sharp eyes and could not help but mock, "Why are you so protective of your face as a man? What a pretty boy, huh! "
"…" When Mu Zixuan heard the zither music, he immediately jumped, "You ugly girl, no matter how many Herba Lonicerae you have, they won't be able to save your face! "Humph, this shit, even if I were to die, I won't give it to you!"
"You!" The zither music was so angry that it couldn't speak. "…"
"Alright, stop arguing."
The two of them spoke at the same time.
When Bai Su stood up, she happened to look right into the eyes of the zither string.
