C38 The silence before the storm

The pills that were first auctioned were the Spirit Replenishing Pills and the Strength Enhancing Pills and the Spirit Cultivation Pills. The people from the large families didn't think much of them, but there were still many forces weaker than them that did.

There was an endless stream of people coming and going in the Xiao Family Auction House, but it gave off a heavy and depressing feeling.

After a few days of preparation, the news of a large number of pellets being auctioned off at Xiao Family Auction House had already spread throughout the entire capital.

Xiao Hong had a smile on his face as he received the guests.

"Third Prince, Fourth Princess, to think that even you all have come. It is truly the honor of our Xiao Family Auction House!"

Third Prince Gong Wuji, who was Zi Lingxue's fianc? before she married, was also one of the princes with the highest hopes of inheriting the throne. Her mother was the most beloved concubine of the Emperor of Bei Yue, Xiu Qi.

As for the Fourth Princess Gong Feifei, she was born from the same mother as the Third Prince.

Because of the unique herbs and the advantages of the palace, coupled with Gong Wuji's exceptional talent, the Third Prince had reached the ninth rank at the age of fourteen.

The smile in the depths of Xiao Hong's eyes deepened. "I have already reserved a seat of honor for the Third Prince. I will now direct him to take his seat."

Gong Wuji said simply, "En."

Even though he was the master of Bei Yue, he had a strong interest in medicinal pellets. When Gong Xiuqi heard that the Xiao Family pellets were being auctioned, he sent Gong Wuji over.

"Third Prince, if there is anything you need, feel free to instruct me. Today's situation is more important. Third Prince, please rest for a moment. Xiao Hong will go outside to take a look!"

Gong Wuji nodded his head, the items auctioned were important, the auction house had to ensure the safety of the items. If something were to go wrong at this time, the entire reputation of the auction house would be affected.

"Fifth brother, I've told you a long time ago that we're here to join in on the fun!" Gong Wushuang pulled Gong Wuyou's hands and pushed him to the door of Xiao Family Auction House.

Gong Wuyou looked at Gong Wushuang somewhat helplessly. This Seventh Brother of his, Gong Wushuang, was the one who had the most curiosity and the most playfulness of all the princes!

Furthermore, the most important thing was that Gong Wushuang had never fought against him before. He said that he wanted to bid for a few medicinal pellets, but in reality, he only wanted to go against Gong Wuji.

Thinking of this, Gong Wuyou felt a headache.

There was no other way, was the one who provoked him, he was not a magnanimous person, only Gong Wuyou was honest and kind.

"Promise me that you won't cause trouble when the time comes. This is the mission that royal father has given to third brother. If you fail and disturb him, I'm afraid even you will be implicated." Gong Wuyou stressed again and again.

Gong Wushuang helplessly raised both his hands to promise Gong Wuyou, "I promise, I know that this is royal father's order. I'm really just trying to get in on the show. "

Gong Wushuang giggled as he looked at Gong Wuyou, "I know Fifth Brother dotes on me the most!"

Gong Wuyou helplessly shook his head, the craftiness in his eyes couldn't escape Gong Wushuang's gaze.

However, Gong Wushuang was thinking in his heart, although royal father's orders can't be disobeyed, royal father didn't say that he can't cause trouble, he must ruthlessly raise the price in a while, so Gong Wuji can cut off his meat!

Xiao Hong was startled, as he felt the same helplessness when he looked at the figure of Gong Wushuang's little ancestor.

The name of the small overlord of the capital had not come for nothing.

There was no need to think too much about it, the little Ancestor had mostly come for the Third Prince. These two had never been on good terms with each other, and that was something the entire Bei Yue knew.

He could not afford to offend either of them.

Upon entering, Gong Wuyou clearly received Xiao Hong's pleading gaze, which implied, "Fifth Prince, when the time comes, you must hold back this little ancestor by your side ?"

As expected, the moment the Seventh Prince took his seat, his sarcastic voice could be heard, "Oh, isn't this Third Brother? I didn't expect that Third Brother, who has always been arrogant and doesn't care about anything, would actually have the mood to come to the auction!"

Gong Wushuang revealed his two canines, "How rare!"

"Gong Wushuang, don't go too far. My brother doesn't want to lower himself to the same level as you! Don't pester him so much!" Gong Feifei jumped up.

"How can I go too far! I am not trying to deepen the relationship between us brothers! "

"Fei Fei, sit down!" Gong Wuji was a little unhappy.

Gong Wushuang was also pressed down by Gong Wuyou.

The two of them angrily turned their heads to the side, and only then did they temporarily shut off the fire.

"Sister Xiao Hong, not only the people from the imperial family, even the people from the other large clans have sent people over." The guard named Xiao Si had a look of vigilance on his face.

"Especially the Shui Family. The one who came this time was the young master of the Shui Family, Shui Lin."

Shui Lin, the leader of the Bei Yue's younger generation, was someone who was only close to Gong Wuji. Someone who had broken through to the ninth step at the earliest would most likely be someone who was close to breaking through to the Spirit Scholar realm.

Furthermore, Water Curtain's personality was extremely difficult to deal with, and he was a troublesome opponent.

"What are we going to do?"

"I didn't expect that even the Shui Family would come."

A cold smile appeared on Xiao Hong's lips as she said, "Open the door. Since the guests have come, how can we push out the rules? Inviting them to come in and entertain them properly."

Although her Xiao Family was at the end of the line, it wasn't easy to bully. If she wanted to take advantage of the Xiao Family Auction House, that would depend on her abilities.

"Go and entertain the guests and arrange seats for them."

Xiao Hong, on the other hand, was not afraid. Not to mention that she was well-prepared this time, even if the royal family were present, she still wouldn't believe what the other four clans could do.

Xiao Hong's expression was serious, "No matter what the auction in the front courtyard does, the back courtyard cannot be disturbed."

Xiao Si nodded heavily.

There was another very important reason why their security was so tight today. It was to set a date with Zi Lingxue to treat Xiao Chen's illness.

Xiao Chen's safety in the Xiao Family was the most important matter.

"Send someone to guard the door. If you see a woman dressed in black and wearing a veil, you must treat her well and bring her directly to the young master. I might not be able to leave today."

The black clothed female that Xiao Hong mentioned was Zi Lingxue.

After the success of the past few auctions, Xiao Family knew of Zi Lingxue's existence now.

Yun Xuan was dressed in a white ancient scented satin robe, the corners of his lips were raised slightly, and his eyes were brimming with interest.

He also swaggered into the Xiao Family Auction House.

Xiao Hong frowned slightly as she searched her heart for information regarding Yun Xuan, but unfortunately, she did not have any impression of him. She could not help but sigh in her heart, such an extraordinary person should be even more outstanding than the Third Prince, right?

After all, within the Bei Yue, there were many people from other nations.

With this thought, she no longer needed to wait at the door since the five great families and the royal family were all here.

Xiao Hong narrowed her eyes. There was a wonderful show waiting for her inside!

"Thank you everyone for your support today. I won't say much more, the auction is about to begin."

"Today's main topic is the medicinal pellets. Therefore, only the medicinal pellets will be auctioned in the Auction House today." Even in the face of so many people, Xiao Hong did not show the slightest sign of fear.
