Shengjing Noble

Chapter 602 You Name a Price

into the night.

It was another grand banquet.

Thanks to the third princess, Su Lanyin successfully entered the banquet hall.

She and Su Shengming stood behind the third princess.

Having regained the princess' favor, Su Shengming's life became much better.

He had applied medicine during the day, and the swelling in his eyes had gone down, but there was still a dark blue spot at the corner of his mouth. However, these flaws did not make him feel inferior, but instead added a bit of beautiful, strong and tragic temperament to him.

It looks like there is a fascinating sense of melancholy.

This is Su Lanyin's disguised appearance. Although it is not as good as her original appearance, she has an excellent foundation. No matter how ugly she makes herself, she still appears to be much better than those ugly pirates.

The two of them stood behind the third princess and attracted a lot of attention.

"It seems that the Pirate King keeps all the good stuff for his own family."

One of the guests drank a little too much and couldn't help but speak in a sarcastic tone.

After all, they could have chosen the slaves they liked and taken them away today, but the Colosseum caught fire.

If you want to prepare a new venue, you have to wait three more days.

Everyone was dissatisfied and followed suit.

"Yeah, no wonder we were asked to wait a little longer. Feelings require him to choose first."

"What do you mean, Pirate King? It's not like we haven't paid enough."

"Yeah, how come you guys got to pick all the good slaves first?"

……

Rumors can make a person appear guilty. No matter how arrogant the pirate king is, he has to restrain himself at this moment.

If he offended these people and the news got out, he would have no business left.

"What are you talking about? The good slaves are naturally reserved for you. Otherwise, would I be a fool if I didn't make money?"

"I think no matter how good the slaves are, they can't compare to the two behind the third princess."

After saying this, everyone looked at the Third Princess and Su Shengming and Su Lanyin behind him.

Indeed, all the people present combined were not as good-looking as these two.

The Pirate King knew that Su Shengming was handsome, but he had never paid attention to Su Lanyin.

So he asked with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Old Third, who is the other one behind you?"

The third princess stood up and replied, "Father, this is not a slave. She is from our Pirate Island. Have you forgotten? You asked her to guard the dungeon yesterday."

The Pirate King then remembered: "Yes, yes, that's true."

He hurriedly explained: "You all have misunderstood. She is not a slave. She is from our Pirate City and is a capable subordinate of the king."

"What about the other one?"

"The other one is naturally my son-in-law, and the consort of the third princess."

When everyone heard that slaves had become princes-in-law, what else could they do?

You can't just forcibly snatch the pirate king's son-in-law away, right?

Firstly, it wouldn’t be that serious, and secondly, they wouldn’t dare to do anything excessive.

After all, this is still the Pirate King's territory.

They need to be more restrained.

But money comes from God, and since they come to give money, the Pirate King must try his best to satisfy them.

A man with shifty eyebrows and rat eyes stared at Su Lanyin with lustful eyes and said, "My king, although the other one is not a slave, her appearance is really enviable. Why don't you name a price and let me take her away?"

Su Lanyin became nervous when she heard this. She didn't want to be sold to Western countries as an commodity.

The pirate king was also in a dilemma. If he even sold out his own brothers, what would the pirates who followed him think?

This deal cannot be made.

"No, no! I am in the business of buying and selling slaves. I will never sell my own people."

The man smiled and hooked his finger with confidence, and the follower behind him put a box on the table. When it was opened, it was filled with golden ingots.

The pirate king's eyes suddenly lit up and he subconsciously wanted to nod, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated and did not dare to promise.

Although he is the Pirate King, to put it bluntly, he is just a pirate leader. The most important thing for his subordinates to follow him is loyalty.

How could he sell out his younger brother for such a small amount of money?

No!

This deal is such a loss!

Thinking of this, he shook his head and sternly refused: "No, no, if you want to buy, buy slaves, don't even think about buying my people."

Not being able to save face, the man was very angry. He clenched his fists and said angrily: "What do you mean, Pirate King? I am sincere. Do you look down on us?"

Another guest laughed at him and said, "You are too stingy to ask for a favor for just a box of gold."

As he spoke, he took out two boxes.

"I'll double it! How about Pirate King consider selling it to me?"

"In that case, I'll pay three times as much!"

……

For a moment, everyone was bidding for Su Lanyin.

Seeing that everyone had gold, silver and jewelry in front of them, the Pirate King was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He no longer cared about his brothers and loyalty.

He immediately slammed the table and said, "Okay! Since you are so sincere, I can't refuse you. Let's do this, the highest bidder wins!"

Su Lanyin saw that he was really going to sell herself out, which might affect her next move.

So he immediately rushed forward, knelt on the ground and said, "My lord! I have been following you loyally for many years. Please don't sell me out!"

"Humph! Since you are my man, you should make some contribution to our deal. Don't worry, they won't treat you unfairly."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Su Lanyin blurted out, "I have always been worried about the king's health, so I have been secretly studying medicine for these years. Finally, I have made some progress and can treat the king!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

The Pirate King narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Is what you said true?"

"Every word is true. If I say even a single lie, I will leave it to you, Your Majesty!"

"Good!" The Pirate King immediately slammed the table and laughed, "Since you are so loyal, let me see your medical skills over there."

"Yes! I will now..."

Su Lanyin stood up and walked forward while talking.

"Stop!" The pirate king's face suddenly turned cold.

"Huh?" She froze in place, looking bewildered and confused.

Is the secret exposed?

The next second, the Pirate King smiled, his eyes full of vigilance: "Before you treat me, you have to prove that you really know medicine, right?"

It turned out to be a test. Su Lanyin breathed a sigh of relief and said confidently, "How can I prove it, Your Majesty?"

The pirate king thought about it and whispered a few words to the deputy leader next to him.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the deputy leader immediately turned around and left, leaving the others full of confusion.

Su Lanyin stood in the middle calmly and without changing her expression, waiting silently without any guilt or uneasiness.

Soon, the deputy leader ran in with several pirates, carrying a dying young pirate.

The stretcher was thrown on the ground. The little pirate's face turned pale, his lips turned black, and his whole body was shaking.

Su Lanyin immediately became alert and asked, "What's going on?"
