No matter what kind of glorious past the name Hua Xiangrong represented, even if she was the Top Beauty, for Hua Xiangrong herself, from the very beginning, it was not her wish to get this stage name. It was just a kind of compromise to life.
For many women who were reduced to working in the Musical House, recovering their original names was basically an extravagant hope.
Hua Xiangrong's original name was Shangguan Yuting, a woman from the Shangguan family.
The name "Shangguan Yuting" represented a kind of bloodline, a kind of home, and also the best life in the past. It was the most precious thing that her parents had given her.
"But, I haven't gotten rid of the registration. If I directly recover my real name, isn't it …" After the great excitement, Hua Xiangrong was still a little hesitant. Judging from the previous signs, it was not easy to get rid of the registration of the Musical House.
Li Mu said, "It's just a formality. If I want to take you out of the Musical House, no one can stop me. What's more, you may not realize that you are very powerful now. If you want to leave, no one can stop you."
For Li Mu, who came from Earth, some of the rules in this world were just a joke in his eyes. The so-called prostitute status was just a superficial rule, a social status that the powerful set for the weak. But when you were already a powerful man, those definitions could be broken with just a thought.
If Liu Chenglong or the second prince behind him wanted to use this thing to bully Hua Xiangrong, it was really a joke.
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door, and Zheng Cunjian came in from outside.
"Young Master, this is the sign of your participation in the auction tonight." He was holding a white jade token like an arrow, which was carved with very exquisite patterns, and contained a warlock tactical deployment, which could be identified. On one side of the jade token was the logo of the Musical House in Chang 'an City, and on the other side was a number 18.
"Because it's temporary, although it's a top VIP token, the number on the token is a little behind," Zheng Cunjian said with a little uneasiness.
To be honest, by now, in his heart, his awe of Li Mu could be said to have reached the peak. The more he knew about Li Mu, the more he saw these days after he walked out of Taibai County, the more he knew how amazing this young man was.
Li Mu took the jade token and observed it for a while. The warlock tactical deployment inside was crystal clear.
Three to five tactical deployments were continuously engraved. For the warlocks in this world, it might be considered exquisite, but for Li Mu, it was just a very simple small tactical deployment. In addition to the claimed effect of distinguishing authenticity and preventing counterfeiting, it could actually play a very covert role in checking one's position, which was a bit like the GPS in reality. The warlocks of the Musical House could determine the position of the holder through this token.
However, it was simply child's play.
Not to mention Li Mu, even the current Shangguan Yuting could modify it at will without anyone noticing.
"Young Master wishes to participate in tonight's auction?" Bai Xuan was very surprised. She had not heard any hint from Li Mu before. Moreover, the item to be auctioned tonight was a female slave. Li Mu was not a lecherous man, but he was interested in that?
She subconsciously looked at Shangguan Yuting, who was standing next to her. Shangguan Yuting looked normal and did not show any displeasure.
"Well, I'm just joining in the fun." Li Mu said casually.
There were some things that didn't need to be explained to Bai Xuan.
"Have you found out the thing I asked you to investigate?" Li Mu asked.
Zheng Cunjian glanced at Bai Xuan and hesitated a little.
Bai Xuan got to her feet sensibly and said, "Hua 'er … Oh, no, Yuting has won the title of Top Beauty for the Holy House. My wish has been fulfilled. I will try my best to discuss with Manager Liu about the removal of my registration. So, I'll take my leave now. As for the things Yuting left in the Holy House, as well as the rewards of tonight's Top Beauty, I will personally arrange them. Sister Yuting, you can come to pick them up at any time. From now on, you will be Young Master Li's maid. Congratulations, sister, you finally got what you wanted."
With that, Bai Xuan turned around and left.
Zheng Cunjian then took a look at Shangguan Yuting and Xin 'er, the maid. Knowing that the two girls were Li Mu's close friends, he said, "In the Moon-hugging House, the mysterious man in the No. 1 Sky-level private room got the No. 1 top VIP card. Mr. Wang got the No. 10 top VIP card through some tricks. There are indeed several pasture people in the No. 1 Earth-level private room in the Fairy House. But the one in charge is not a pasture man, but the young master of the World Chamber of Commerce's branch in the Great Qin Empire. He got the No. 7 top VIP card …"
Li Mu nodded.
The mysterious man in the No. 1 Sky-level private room was the one Li Mu saw with his Third Eye. His energy was as majestic as the sun. He was the most formidable man tonight. Now that he got the No. 1 top VIP card, it seemed that he was not only powerful but also had a high status.
Li Mu already had a rough guess in his mind.
Sure enough, Wang Chen and his companions got the top VIP cards. He and the one behind him must have come to rescue Tang Chong's widow. Participating in the auction should be their best way. However, it would not be that easy.
As for the pasture people, it was quite surprising that they had teamed up with the World Chamber of Commerce.
Nevertheless, their appearance was reasonable. Those female soldiers of the Wolf Temple on the pasture were of high status, so it was normal for someone to rescue them. Li Mu only thought of this after he used his Third Eye to scan the entire Liufang Street of the Musical House and sensed some strange aura. Therefore, he asked Zheng Cunjian to investigate it. Little did he expect that he really found something.
Zheng Cunjian continued, "Some of General Tang Chong's enemies, including Bai Yuan, the commander of the Heaven-feather Army in Qin City; Liang Yifei, the son of the current Grand Preceptor; Han Feiran, the nephew of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites; and Jin Xuan, the future leader of the Holy Light Sect, have come to Chang 'an to participate in the auction. Their purpose is to rescue General Tang's widow and his two daughters. Together, they got the top VIP card, which is No. 15. There should be more people who haven't been found yet. But it's too late. Young Master, please forgive us …"
Li Mu waved him off and said, "It doesn't matter."
"They are just some small scums. They won't affect the overall situation."
He put away the card and rose to his feet. Then, he said to Shangguan Yuting and her maid, "Let's go and watch the show. Maybe we will also have to enter the auction."
Outside, the servants arranged by Zheng Cunjian brought in the masks, cloaks, and smocks that had been prepared in advance. Li Mu, Shangguan Yuting, and Shangguan Yuting put on the masks and smocks to hide their identities.
Li Mu put on a silver grimace mask, which looked rather creepy. The design of the mask seemed to be funny, but there was a hint of cold sarcasm in the smile, which gave people an indescribable visual impact. The craftsmanship of the mask was exquisite to the extreme.
Shangguan Yuting was wearing a half-piece of phoenix wing hollowed out mask, which covered her face above the lips, exposing her eyes and fitting her facial lines. There were also nostrils and air holes. After putting on the mask, Shangguan Yuting looked mysterious, which made her look even more elegant and fair-skinned.
Xin 'er, the maid, put on a mask in the shape of a big cat, which was quite cute.
Zheng Cunjian put on a black grimace mask with glaring eyes.
The four of them were dressed in distinctive attire. After leaving the Fairy Tower, they parted the crowd and went to the temporary VIP pavilions around the main stage.
Compared with the noisy and crowded atmosphere on the street, the area of the top VIP pavilions was relatively quiet and orderly.
Around the area, armed warriors formed a human wall, which separated the entire VIP area from the crowd on the street and left an empty space.
Zheng Cunjian, who was wearing the glaring grimace mask, stepped forward and reported the number of the top VIP number.
During the whole process, only the number was recognized, not the person. After carefully checking the number and confirming that there was no mistake, Li Mu and his companions were still allowed to go in, although they were dressed weirdly.
Li Mu looked around.
With his current strength, cultivation, and vision, such lofts, which were magnificent in the eyes of others, could no longer attract his attention.
Along the way, they were led by guards and maids.
The treatment of the top VIP pavilions was luxurious, comfortable, and considerate.
Those who entered the top VIP pavilions basically covered their faces. Therefore, although Li Mu and his companions were wearing masks and hoodies, others did not look particularly strange when they looked at them.
From the maid, Li Mu learned that the serial number of the number of the sign was symmetrical to the number of the sign.
Therefore, when Li Mu passed by, he paid attention to the positions of the four pavilions, namely No. 1, No. 7, No. 10, and No. 15. At the same time, he quietly pinched a few handprints in his wide sleeves and sent several monitoring Taoist instruments that looked like jade fingers he had prepared in advance into the hidden places of those pavilions.
A moment later.
Li Mu and his companions came to Room No. 18, which belonged to them.
The number of the pavilions was also distinguished. Room No. 18, which belonged to Li Mu and his companions, was the last one in the VIP area of the whole pavilion. Thanks to Zheng Cunjian's help, they got it at the last moment. Therefore, its position was a little bit farther away. Of course, compared with the seats on the street and in the front of the VIP seats, it was still much better.
"Distinguished guests, please."
After escorting them to the door, the maid stood outside and waited. She would not go in and would be called at any time.
Inside the pavilion, there was a glass window on the west side, which was a warlock's alchemy product. From the outside, the window was colorful and not transparent. But from the inside, it was as clear as glass. Through the window, the whole auction stage could be seen clearly. In the pavilion, there were all kinds of drinks and delicacies, comfortable chairs, and even beds. In Li Mu's eyes, all of them were very high-class.
Apart from that, the most eye-catching thing was a small white jade magical instrument in the middle of the pavilion. Like a small socket, the auction sign could be inserted into it. It could be regarded as a whole. Through this small magical instrument, one could participate in the bidding and bidding.
The little maid, Xin 'er, was wearing a cat mask and jumping around the room with a curious look.
Li Mu and Shangguan Yuting sat in front of the window.
Zheng Cunjian stood aside.
Soon, the bidding began.
On the main stage, a veteran leader of the Musical House was the auctioneer tonight. He looked to be in his sixties or seventies. His face was glowing, and his voice was sonorous. Beside him stood two assistants. After a simple opening speech, they quickly entered the auction stage.
A girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a gauze veil, her naked body partly hidden and partly visible. Her face was covered with a veil, and her hands were fastened together with silver handcuffs. She was led to the stage by two maids as if she were leading a cow.
The first auction item was brought up.
