Luo Yin was also stunned. She stared at Gu Ruoyun in disbelief, her eyes filled with astonishment.
No wonder Shopkeeper Zhao had addressed her as Eldest Miss. So she was actually the boss behind Hundred Herb Hall. But how did she not know about this? Furthermore, when Hundred Herb Hall had been established, she hadn't even been born yet …
Gu Ruoyun furrowed her brows. It was obvious that she was very dissatisfied with Zuo Shangchen exposing her identity. Her indifferent gaze swept across the man's devilishly handsome face.
"If you weren't my brother's friend, I would've asked Elder Yu to kick you out just based on what you've said just now."
Zuo Shangchen rubbed his nose, a bitter smile appearing on his face.
Wasn't he just worried that Susu would do something after underestimating Gu Ruoyun? However, no matter what the reason was, he had revealed her identity without her permission. This was indeed his fault.
Susu opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
At this moment, Elder Yu's voice rang out once again in the auction hall.
"Everyone, if there are no more questions, then let's begin our auction! There are a total of five Beauty Rejuvenation Pills up for auction this time. Each person can only get one at most, and the starting price for the first pill is ten thousand gold coins. "
As Elder Yu's voice fell, the entire auction hall fell silent. After that, a clamor of fighting broke out at the speed of lightning.
"One hundred thousand gold coins!"
Boom!
Everyone was shocked by this powerful voice. One must know that one hundred thousand gold coins was enough for a small or medium-sized family to live on for two years. But now, it was only the starting price of this pill.
"Ba Zhentian, that wife of yours is already old and her pearls are yellow, why are you still wasting so much money on her? Why don't you change it to a beautiful woman and give this pill to us, haha! "
A middle-aged man dressed in green robes laughed heartily, completely disregarding the angry glare that Ba Zhentian had sent his way.
"Hmph!" Ba Zhentian snorted coldly, "I'm determined to get this pill!"
"Then I'm sorry, I'm also very interested in this pill, so I bid two hundred thousand gold coins!"
…
In the private room, Zuo Shangchen smiled gently as he leaned against the back of his chair. His face, which was even more beautiful than a woman's, carried a lazy and contented smile. He seemed to know that Gu Ruoyun did not know much about the powers of the mainland, so he explained softly from the side, "That man with the scar on his face is the leader of Black Tortoise Country's Heaven City's underground forces, Ba Zhentian. In Black Tortoise Country, Heaven City's power is even greater than a country's, so you can imagine Ba Zhentian's position. However, this Ba Zhentian is also known far and wide as a wife-slave!"
Gu Ruoyun raised her brow and turned her gaze towards Zuo Shangchen.
Zuo Shangchen waved his feather fan and continued to speak with a light smile: "I reckon that Ba Zhentian came here this time to buy the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill for his wife. As for the other competitor, it's the shopkeeper of Heaven City's largest medicinal herb store. His goal is probably to buy the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill and make it the treasure of his store, so that he can attract more people."
Heaven City?
Gu Ruoyun fell silent for a moment, then asked, "What kind of power is Heaven City, how come I've never heard of it?"
"In Black Tortoise Country, Heaven City is the most authoritative power. If the Black Tortoise Country's royal family wishes to change dynasties, just obtaining the support of the ministers is not enough. They must first obtain Heaven City's approval. Even the appointment of a Crown Prince is decided by Heaven City on the royal family's behalf. So, Heaven City is the supreme existence in Black Tortoise Country."
