Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 225 Please Accept My Knees

"Two thousand gold coins for the first time! Two thousand gold coins for the second time! Two thousand gold coins for the third time!! Sold!" Eagle looked around and, after shouting three times, gave the final word with a gavel.

Gu Qingyue and her group bid two thousand gold coins for a bottle of Broken Heart Return.

Gu Qingyue's eyes widened. She had misjudged him; this down-on-his-luck little prince was actually quite wealthy!

Mu Yun Chu seemed to sense her intense gaze and gave her a doting smile.

"Didn't you want to study it?"

Gu Qingyue: I want to... I do want to, but it's too expensive!

She only had enough money left to buy a few bottles of Broken Heart Dew, and this man just casually gave it to her?

Gu Qingyue wanted to say something, but Mu Yun Chu's words choked her in her throat.

"Don't worry, money is not a problem no matter what you want to buy," he said casually, as if he were just saying that the weather was alright today.

Gu Qingyue is going crazy!

So this is the real master! I'm in awe!

Thinking of his Dark Wolf Guards, Gu Qingyue began to understand.

If he didn't have money, how could he secretly maintain such a large secret guard?

Sigh, her own path to making money still has a long way to go!

We must work hard to make money!!

Next, several more rare items were auctioned off, and finally, the token of the Heavenly Sacrifice that Mu Yun Chu wanted to bid on arrived.

It is said that this Nanzhao Heavenly Ceremony was jointly presided over by the Shaman Temple and the royal family.

One purpose was to select a new saintess for the Wizarding Temple.

Secondly, it was to elect new elders for the Nanzhao Kingdom's council of elders, and it is said that all the elders came from various tribes of Nanzhao.

In other words, the Nanzhao Heavenly Sacrifice held once every five years is crucial to the development of Nanzhao's situation over the next five years.

The tribe that can obtain more seats in the Nanzhao Kingdom's council of elders will have more say.

Speaking of this, we must mention the current division of power in Nanzhao.

The King of Nanzhao was equivalent to the emperor of other countries.

In Nanzhao, power was held by the Nanzhao King and the Shaman Temple.

The duties of the Wizard's Temple are equivalent to the position of the national advisor in some countries.

Below the King and the Shaman Temple, the Nanzhao Kingdom established an Elders Council, which was equivalent to an advisory group. The seats in this council were jointly formed by various tribes.

It was Mu Yun Chu who told her all this, and that's how she came to understand.

I never quite understood why the Nanzhao Wizard Temple would plant spies in Lizhou. What was the point?

If they already held supreme power in the Nanzhao Kingdom, then it wouldn't be surprising.

"This token is an invitation token for the Heavenly Sacrifice issued by the Nanzhao royal family to various countries. Possessing this token allows one to participate in the Nanzhao Heavenly Sacrifice. As for what the Heavenly Sacrifice is, I'm sure you all know more about it than I do. Of course, we will not disclose the origin of the token, but we swear on the reputation of Liujintang that this token is absolutely genuine. The bidding will now begin, with a starting price of three hundred gold."

As soon as Eagle finished speaking, the auction house ushered in its first mini-climax of the night.

Gu Qingyue looked outside and pouted, "Does everyone really want to go?"

After she finished speaking, she moved a few steps closer to Mu Yun Chu and lowered her voice: "What do you want to do? Watch the show?"

Mu Yun Chu raised her hand and pinched the little girl's chin, amused, and said, "Do you want to go watch the show?"

Gu Qingyue immediately flashed a big smile, which, upon closer inspection, even had a hint of flattery. Of course she wanted to go!

"But there's only one token!"

“As long as you say you want to go, you’ll get two tickets,” Mu Yun Chu said.

"Really?" That means this guy already has one.

So you're going to the auction to buy it for yourself?

Gu Qingyue thought to herself with a touch of narcissism, but she was right.

Mu Yun came here to participate in the auction to buy it for her.

"Of course, when have I ever lied to A-Yue?" Mu Yun Chu stroked the girl's smooth skin, her eyes becoming deep.

Gu Qingyue understood the deeper meaning in his eyes and immediately slapped his hand away, "It's a deal!"

Mu Yun Chu's smile deepened.

Gu Qingyue didn't look at him and quickly sat up straight.

She wasn't shy; she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself and would pounce on him and do something.

If this guy suddenly smiles so sweetly, she'll definitely get a little tempted!

She listened carefully to what was happening upstairs. Apart from the old man next to her, almost every private room had made a bid. It was truly outrageous.

That makes sense when you think about it. If it weren't valuable, Black Wind Stronghold wouldn't have dared to blatantly rob the inn.

Gu Qingyue watched helplessly as the token price soared from three hundred gold coins to three thousand gold coins, and several people were still bidding. Gu Qingyue was so angry she wanted to curse them out. These spendthrifts!

Do you think money grows on trees? Fighting tooth and nail over a token? That's insane!

“Three thousand five hundred gold coins,” Mu Yun Chu’s voice rang out.

Gu Qingyue: ...... She took back what she had just said.

"Three thousand seven hundred gold!" the brother and sister next to them raised the price.

"Three thousand eight hundred gold coins!" Mr. Hui offered.

"Four thousand gold pieces!" Mu Yun Chu continued to add.

Gu Qingyue couldn't help but release her mental energy. She wanted to see if Mr. Hui and the other person made any further unusual moves, and she wanted to confirm her thoughts again.

To her surprise, she immediately burst out laughing upon seeing it.

"Since Master Hui has the token, why is he still taking pictures?" Miss Xiangxiang whispered suggestively in Mr. Hui's ear.

At this moment, Mr. Hui had a faint smile on his fair and handsome face.

His eyes were squinted lazily, making it impossible to read his thoughts.

He was holding a jade pendant in his hand, slowly playing with it.

Gu Qingyue took a closer look and compared it with the one on the high platform. Yes, it was indeed the one.

"With such a good opportunity, how could I complain about having too many?" Mr. Hui smiled slyly.

Since his master wanted to send more people to stir up trouble in the Nanzhao Heavenly Sacrifice ceremony, how could he not do his best?

"Mr. Hui is truly wealthy and generous. I beg you to show some mercy for the sake of my mistress," said Xiangxiang, her body becoming increasingly soft and delicate, almost pressed against Mr. Hui.

Gu Qingyue cursed under her breath that she was going to get a sty, and then... continued to peek.

She really didn't want to see these things; she wanted to uncover the truth, really!

Upon hearing this, Mr. Hui reached out and stroked the woman's face, his eyes filled with deep affection and pity. Xiangxiang immediately seized the opportunity and half-lay on the man's body.

The moment he turned around, his expression immediately became playful and enigmatic.

It must be said that the man, who was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, was indeed very handsome.

His gentle demeanor is tempered with a handsome and unrestrained charm; any woman would fall for him instantly.

Gu Qingyue watched for a while, and since they didn't say anything important besides flirting, she finally turned her attention away.

Listening carefully to the bidding outside, it had reached 6,100 gold coins, a price set by Mu Yun Chu.

Gu Qingyue gave him a look of disappointment and frustration.

The way he looked at the spoiled brat made Mu Yun Chu unable to suppress a smile.

"Never mind, never mind, I don't want it anymore," Gu Qingyue leaned closer, "I'll figure out how to get my token myself," Gu Qingyue gave him a reassuring look.

Mu Yun Chu raised an eyebrow and looked at her incredulously for a while.

"Don't worry about the money, I have plenty," she said, stroking Gu Qingyue's cheek with a wicked and unruly look in her eyes, just like a true playboy.

Gu Qingyue: ...You acted very well.

"Don't worry, I have a brilliant plan. This is even more interesting than buying it," Gu Qingyue replied with a sly smile.

Mu Yun Chu looked at Gu Qing Yue quietly, then smiled and said, "Alright, it's up to you."

Gu Qingyue felt relieved and watched as the man in the corner private room won the token with seven thousand gold coins. Gu Qingyue gave him a thumbs up in her heart.
