In a private room on the second floor.
The middle-aged guard stood respectfully at the door and reported Ji Ke's words to the white-robed young man.
After he finished speaking, he added a few more words with anger still lingering in his voice.
"Your Highness, you are the First Prince of our Changfeng Nation. How honorable is your identity!"
"It is her honor that you are willing to invite her. I didn't expect that girl to be so rude!"
The white-robed young man sat at the table with a wine cup in one hand and his chin in the other. There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
He pondered for a moment and muttered to himself, "Such a beautiful, cute, and intelligent girl. It's really rare to see such a person."
"I have traveled all over Changfeng, Mao Rong, and other countries, but I have never seen such a lovable girl. Her beauty and intelligence can almost be compared to Xuanxuan …"
"However, she has a soft spot for that ordinary black-robed young man. What a pity!"
The middle-aged guard frowned and thought for a moment. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, do you want me to teach that kid a lesson?"
"Your subordinate will capture that girl later. Tonight, Your Highness can do whatever you want with her …"
He had done this kind of thing for the First Prince before, and it was more than once. If he really wanted to do this kind of thing, he was very familiar with it.
It was also because of this that he was highly regarded by the First Prince and was brought along by his side.
The First Prince frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before waving his hand and saying, "No need. Let's put this matter aside for now."
"Go check how many silver notes we have with us. Prepare all the money. I will go to the Treasure Heaven Pavilion later."
"There will be a Ten Thousand Spirit Jade Pillow in tonight's auction. It is said that this item has miraculous effects. It can regulate Yin and Yang Qi and treat all kinds of illnesses."
"Xuanxuan has been tortured by extreme cold poison since she was young. If I get the Ten Thousand Spirit Jade Pillow and give it to her, I think she will …"
The middle-aged guard cupped his hands and accepted the order. He quickly went to count the money in the luggage.
In the hall on the first floor, Ji Tianxing and Ji Ke continued to eat.
Ji Ke's mood was not affected even though he had been disturbed by a strange noble young master.
The two of them were eating when they heard the guests at the nearby tables chatting idly, and their words were mixed with words like auction and Treasure Heaven Pavilion.
Ji Ke listened attentively for a while and got the gist of it.
She revealed an expression that was filled with interest as she said to Ji Tianxing, "Big Brother Tianxing, I heard that the Treasure Heaven Pavilion in the city is going to hold an auction tonight. This is an annual grand event."
"The reason why the city is so lively tonight is most likely because of this auction. Shall we go and take a look?"
Ji Tianxing frowned slightly and shook his head with a chuckle. "Ke, let's not join in the fun."
"When we were in the Imperial City, we've seen countless auctions. This Fengyang City is far less prosperous than the Imperial City. It's just an auction. There's no point in watching it."
Even though Ji Ke yearned for it in her heart, seeing that Ji Tianxing didn't agree, she could only purse her small lips and resentfully say, "Alright, I'll listen to Big Brother Tianxing."
While the two of them were talking, a handsome youth at the neighboring table had been listening to their conversation with a smile on his face.
This blue-robed youth was about the same age as Ji Tianxing. He had a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and an imposing appearance.
There were also two middle-aged martial artists standing at the side of the table. They were obviously his attendants and guards.
After hearing Ji Tianxing's words, the blue-robed youth smiled slightly and said to Ji Tianxing, "This brother's words are incorrect. Brother, you might not know, but this Fengyang City is a place one must pass through to enter the Hengchuan Kingdom from the three neighboring kingdoms. It's also an important place for merchants to trade."
"The Treasure Heaven Pavilion is a large merchant company that has businesses all over the three neighboring kingdoms. The auction that they hold every year is a top grand event for the three neighboring kingdoms. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many merchants and martial artists gathered in Fengyang City tonight. "
Ji Tianxing's brows raised as his eyes stared fixedly at the blue-robed youth, and he silently listened to the blue-robed youth without interrupting him.
Ji Ke's beautiful eyes once again surged with yearning, and she was obviously slightly moved.
When he saw this scene, the blue-robed youth stood up and walked over to Ji Tianxing's table to sit down, then he lowered his voice and said, "Brother, various priceless treasures have appeared in the past auctions, and most of them are treasures of heaven and earth that martial artists yearn for even in their dreams."
"Supposedly, the Treasure Heaven Pavilion will take out a rare and precious treasure to auction in tonight's auction, and it's a Myriad Spirit Jade Pillow!"
"People who suffer from diseases or Yin and Yang disorder can be cured by this treasure. Women can sleep on this jade pillow and maintain eternal youth and beauty. "
"It's even to the extent that martial artists can obtain twice the results with half the effort when cultivating and swiftly increase their strength … All in all, this treasure has extraordinary origins and miraculous effects."
When he heard the words eternal youth and beauty, Ji Ke's eyes were instantly suffused with a crystalline light, and he impatiently wanted to go experience it.
Ji Tianxing's expression was still calm, and his gaze carried a sense of scrutiny as he sized up the blue-robed youth.
A complete stranger had actually taken the initiative to introduce the Treasure Heaven Pavilion's auction to him, and even described it in an extremely tempting manner.
He couldn't help but be vigilant and suspicious. Could it be that this unfamiliar blue-robed youth is a shill of the Treasure Heaven Pavilion?
The blue-robed youth obviously noticed Ji Tianxing's suspicion as well, and he wasn't embarrassed in the slightest, and he still had a hearty smile on his face.
He cupped his hands to Ji Tianxing and Ji Ke, then he introduced himself. "Brother, Young Miss, I'm Nie Hao, the grandson of Marshal Qiankun of Mao Rong Kingdom."
When he mentioned his grandfather, Marshal Qiankun, his face naturally revealed a proud expression.
Ji Tianxing immediately understood and returned a kind smile to Nie Hao. He cupped his hands in return and said, "So it's the grandson of Marshal Qiankun, sorry for not recognizing you."
Marshal Qiankun's name was Nie Qiankun, the grand marshal of Mao Rong Kingdom's troops and horses, and also the country's number one general.
Mao Rong Kingdom's imperial family was weak, and the emperor was muddle-headed and incompetent, but Marshal Qiankun was the mainstay of Mao Rong Kingdom and was deeply respected by the people.
Marshal Qiankun had fought all his life, and his military achievements were splendid, and he rarely lost. It was his iron-blooded army that protected Mao Rong Kingdom's safety for a hundred years, causing the surrounding countries to be fearful.
Although Qingyun Kingdom and Mao Rong Kingdom had many frictions, the people of Qingyun Kingdom still respected Marshal Qiankun.
Ji Tianxing saw that Nie Hao's bearing was extraordinary, and his speech and actions were open and candid, quite having the demeanor of a descendant of a general, so the suspicion in his heart was naturally dispelled.
He exchanged a few words with Nie Hao and exchanged names, then he made an inviting gesture, asking Nie Hao to sit down and talk.
After Nie Hao sat down, he opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Nie, may I ask, how do you know so much about the Treasure Heaven Pavilion's auction?"
Nie Hao did not hide it, and laughed at himself, and said in a somewhat low tone, "To be honest, I passed by Feng Yang City this time and deliberately stayed for two days, just waiting for this auction."
"My father has been on the battlefield all year round to protect the territory, and he has suffered an injury that is difficult to heal for a lifetime, and he will not live for long."
"I heard the news that the Treasure Heaven Pavilion is going to auction the Ten Thousand Spirit Jade Pillow, which can relieve my father's injury and allow him to live for a few more years, so I specially came to buy that Ten Thousand Spirit Jade Pillow."
