Chapter Ninety-Five: Jade Maiden's Fragrant Heart

  In the hall, Mo Jun Xie was all smiles, bowing to everyone with his fists clasped together: "Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support of Sheng Bao Tang. I'm deeply grateful and honored. Now, let's continue the auction, please feel free to bid, haha, no need to be polite."

  What are you, kid? Look at the way you're talking, just like the big boss of Sheng Bao Tang! You've really been despised to the extreme! Everyone in their hearts cursed loudly!

  If white eyes could crush people, Jun Moxie would have been crushed to pieces by the overwhelming number of white eyes! If contempt could cause harm, Jun Moxie would be covered in wounds!

  It turned out that the mysterious person had never appeared, and another clear voice echoed: "The previous call price of Huo Jing was Lee's Li Zhen making trouble, the bid is invalid, proceed at the original price!" It was indeed two people! Jun Mo Xie smiled in his heart. I suppose it must be because these two people have different opinions, huh, and the latter one should still be a bit more powerful.

  The old man in the purple robe on the stage changed his expression again, and immediately said with a helpless face: "Tang Gongzi has already bid 300,000 taels of silver for the 'Burning Scripture', and he has called twice. Is there anyone who can offer more than 300,000 taels of silver?"

  Repeatedly asking, no one answered. At this time when such a big thing has just happened, who dares to offend Jun Mo Xie, that fearless and reckless young man, and Tang Yuan, that spendthrift son who doesn't care about his family's property?

  "Three hundred thousand taels of silver for the third time! Deal!"

  "When" the old man in purple robe felt suffocated, he had hosted auctions for decades, but this one was the most depressing. The two prodigal sons had messed it up, and something that could have been auctioned off for over a million taels only ended up selling for 300,000 taels! If they were to buy it back at this price, it would be almost like giving it away...

  Tang Baozi experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, and for a long time he didn't understand what was happening. Fortunately, Jun Da's calm nature prevailed, and with several slaps, the guy who had been beaten up came to his senses!

  Across from him, Xiao Yi pouted and said indignantly: "It's so unfair! How did that guy get away with it again? He actually got the Ling Grass at such a low price, how despicable! I hate it, I hate it!" But despite her words, her beautiful big eyes curved into crescent moons, as if she was laughing from the bottom of her heart, without any hint of dislike.

  Ling Meng Gong Zhu looked at her with a suspicious face, seeing Du Gu Xiao Yi suddenly looking radiant and spirited. She pouted her small mouth as she watched Mo Jun Ye across from her, playing the rogue to the extreme. But in this little movement of hers, there wasn't even a hint of the usual disgust, instead, it was filled with admiration! What's going on here?

  Princess Ling Meng suddenly had an incredible thought in her mind, and she couldn't help but be shocked: "Xiao Yi, you, you, you won't have taken a liking to this rogue, will you?"

  Upon hearing this, Xiaoyi's face turned bright red with rage, her small nose scrunched up, and she stuck out her tongue. Her face flushed with anger, she retorted: "What are you talking about? Me? Look at that good-for-nothing spendthrift? Hmph! This young lady's heavenly iron fist is truly going to be unleashed! If I don't teach him a lesson, how can I vent the evil air in my chest? As soon as I get the chance, I'll give him a good thrashing!" As she spoke, her eyebrows furrowed menacingly and her teeth clenched in anger.

  Princess Ling Meng's whole body felt a wave of weakness. It was all over, as the precious and intimate friend of Lonely Little Art for many years, how could she not see that at this time, Lonely Little Art was pretending to be fierce but actually happy beyond words, yet still trying to put on a ferocious face, but her true concerns were obvious to anyone who looked.

  Think about it, Xiaoyi was originally depressed and unhappy, but as soon as he heard Junmo Xie's voice, he suddenly became energetic and lively. All of this seems to be self-evident, pointing to only one possibility. But this possibility is also too unbelievable, it's simply a nightmare...

  "Little sister! Oh no......" Seeing Xiao Yi's fierce expression maintained for a while, then her brother Xiao Hu's smile appeared, and Ling Meng Gong Zhu became even more worried.

  "Xiao Yi, you, you, you! What can your sister say about you? Alas! Such a dissolute young man, how can you be like this?"

  Lonely Little Art hummed happily, blinking her beautiful big eyes: "It's because he's a spoiled brat, all the dishes need to be taught well! Let him know how fierce this girl is, hum hum hum, hehe..." After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, her eyes full of expectation, obviously already thinking about how to teach Jun Mo Xie a lesson, with an eager and excited look.

  Ling Meng Gong Zhu became even more worried. This matter was not trivial, and even if Xiao Yi wanted to blame herself, she had to notify the Lonely Invincible General as soon as possible.

  The only pearl of the lonely world, one of the most beautiful flowers in the capital city's working-class neighborhood - Lonely Little Art, and that young master from the imperial family? What is this, what kind of joke is this?! A flower inserted into cow dung can't even describe it, it's simply a waste of heaven's gift!

  Not to mention anything else, from the imperial family's perspective, the union of their third generation's only grandson and the loneliest noble house's most beloved granddaughter is an absolutely undesirable outcome, which will inevitably trigger a major upheaval in the court!

  No! I must stop this from happening! Little Ai can't be ruined by Junmo Xie's hands! Ling Meng Gongzhu looked at Lonely Little Ai with a complex expression, and Junmo Xie secretly made up his mind.

  It can be said that the Huojing was obtained at the cheapest price. Junmo Xie felt a little excited, but his heart was filled with a chill. Looking back on all the powerful people he had met since his debut, there were few who could match the aura of these two hidden masters from Weibao Hall today. His current strength was not yet robust, and it was difficult to rival such strong opponents, so he could only continue to play the role of a young and inexperienced clown for a while longer.

  Next, Tang Da Gongzi successfully took a shot of Tang Lao Ye's thing, a volume of Shen Feng Jian Lu. Jun Mo Xie only took a glance or two and threw it to Tang Yuan with no interest, filled with infinite disdain in his heart. This volume of flashy swordsmanship actually had the nerve to be taken out for auction! And it even sold for 2 million taels of silver!

  But next, Mo Junxie suddenly shook his body and a hint of surprise appeared on his face!

  After Mo Junye obtained the letter, he concentrated his divine sense on the two princes' compartments. He had previously known that there were only six people in those two compartments, and it was strange to him that all six people suddenly disappeared without leaving through the main door! However, Mo Junye could be certain of one thing - these six people did not leave Weibao Hall. Could it be that there were hidden passages within the two compartments?

  But the next moment, Jun Mo Xie's divine sense appeared again with a chill that had just dissipated, but it was mixed into the crowd in the hall. Looking along, they saw that even their clothes and faces had changed. Even if someone looked at them face to face, they wouldn't recognize that this was the person who had just entered the private room.

  Three of them gathered in the middle, while the other three fell on the other side, looking distinct and separate.

  They all looked like wealthy family heads, but the occasional flash of light in their eyes made Jun Moxie aware of their inner tension and longing.

  It should be out of hand now! However, what is it in this batch of goods that makes two killer groups so jealous? Even the two princes are involved?

  Jun Mo Xie took the list from Tang San's hand and scanned it item by item, finally stopping at the last item: thirty-sixth rank White Horned Bull tendons!

  Mystic Beast Muscle!

  It should be this thing. Apart from this, the rest are all decorative and luxury items, nothing too practical, and the Killer Group would never want that kind of thing. What they want is always something that can pose a fatal threat to human life.

  Only the tendon of Xuan Beast meets their requirements! But what's the use of so many tendons? Is there any reason to let all assassins change to whip killings?

  Could it be... making an exceptionally powerful bow and arrow? At this thought, Jun Mo Xie's heart began to thump wildly.

  If the bow is made of sixth-order Xuan beast tendon, then for example, the bow and arrow can at least increase by more than twice! However, such a powerful bow and arrow may be astonishing, but the strength of the ninth-grade Xuan master is not enough, and it is absolutely impossible to pull open!

  It's precisely because of this that if a Silver or Gold Rank master were to use this bow, it would undoubtedly become an absolute lethal weapon! Even a strong master from the Jade Rank would likely be caught off guard and fall prey to it. And with ten or more such bows and arrows combined in a joint attack, I believe they could pose a threat even to a Heaven Rank master!

  It seems so!

  As expected, the Xuan beast's tendons were released, and the six people who had just passed by, divided into two camps of princes, finally began to bid against each other. The competition was even more intense! The price rose steadily, and in a short while, it actually rose to an unprecedented height of five million taels! At this price, all the others who participated in the bidding were driven away, but even if only these two families were left facing each other from afar, neither of them would retreat half a step!

  In the end, after a fierce bidding war, the thirty strands of Xuanwu tendon were sold for a staggering 130 million taels, finally going to the three assassins on the side of the Second Prince! This is almost the highest price ever paid for a single item at the Shengbao Hall auction in recent years, and can be called a sky-high price!

  "Third Young Master, you see that now? This is just a single Sixth-Order Xuan Beast tendon. If it were thirty Sixth-Order Xuan Dan, the price would probably increase several times over! Third Young Master, you should know how important what my family lost really is!" Tang Yuan smacked his lips: "That's simply priceless."

  "Ah" Jun Mo Xie let out a sigh, his scrutinizing gaze watching as the three men swiftly disappeared into the crowd after obtaining the Xuan Beast Tendon. His heart couldn't help but feel anxious, thinking that if they had dared to attack him last time, then even if it was his own grandfather, they would still dare to take action. And now, with this batch of Xuan Beast Tendons, manufacturing powerful bows and arrows, even a Tian Xuan-level expert like his grandfather would be in grave danger. "Let's go." Jun Mo Xie stood up, his mind still turning with thoughts of whether he could track them down or find out where the goods would ultimately end up, which would be ideal.
