Chapter 337: Chapter 337: The Auction Starts

"Your Highness, it is your brother." Su Jan Ying whispered to the second prince, Liu Wang.

Liu Wang glanced at Liu Lan. "Just ignore him."

Liu Lan was the son of Noble Consort Furen. His mother’s enemy. Why should he help the son of his mother’s enemy? They should be grateful that he did not make a move on them yet.

"Yes, Your Highness." Su Jan Ying nodded. "By the way, I heard that General Bai and Junior General Bai are also here tonight with Lady Bai." He informed Liu Wang.

"They are also here. Do you know where they are?" Liu Wang asked.

He wanted to contact General Bai to discuss his further plan. He felt that General Bai must be happy with his plan.

"I just heard from someone that General Bai entered with a gold invitation card. I think they will be in the private room upstairs." Su Jan Ying stated.

"I see. We are also in a private room, right?" Liu Wang asked.

"Yes, Your Highness." Su Jan Ying nodded.

"We might be seeing them, then. Later, you can inquire which room they are in." Liu Wang ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness." Su Jan Ying obeyed the order.

The people finally entered the auction hall. After Liu Lan’s incident, the people became obedient. They did not dare to cause trouble in the Shanghai Pavilion.

Bai Xifeng was enjoying the refreshment and tea in the private room until someone knocked on their door. Xiang signalled Bai Tingfeng to open the door.

Bai Tingfeng stood up and opened the door to see the third prince, Liu Longwei and his aide, Hou Tingguang.

"Is Fengfeng here?" Liu Longwei asked.

Bai Xifeng looked over.

"Oh, it is you. Come on in." Bai Xifeng said.

"You know he is coming too?" Bai Xiang said.

"Hmm... I invited him along to play." Bai Xifeng nodded.

Bai Xiang glanced at Liu Longwei feeling annoyed.

Liu Longwei smiled and sat beside Bai Xifeng.

"Wifey." Liu Longwei smiled.

"This must be your first time coming to the auction. Here you can buy many things. However, you need to fight with someone else." Bai Xifeng explained things to Liu Longwei.

"Fight with someone else? Like beating them up?" Liu Longwei asked.

"No... No... You need to fight others with the price. Hmmm... let’s wait until the auction starts. You will see the live example later." Bai Xifeng stated.

"Oh... I understand." Liu Longwei nodded.

"Before that, here, enjoy this cake. It tastes delicious." Bai Xifeng handed out some of the cake to Liu Longwei.

Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng were staring. Liu Longwei ignored the stare and took the cake from Bai Xifeng.

Not long after that, the auction finally started. A beautiful lady went up to the stage. Everyone fell into silence.

"Hello everyone. I am Mo Yuemo. I will be conducting this auction. I appreciate your understanding. We are here, in the Shanghai Pavilion’s auction. It has been a while since our last auction. This time, we have many interesting things that you would like to have." Mo Yuemo said.

"So, let’s get started, shall we?" Mo Yuemo said.

With that, a man came out bringing ten glass bottles. It appeared to be an elixir.

"Everyone, here is the new elixir. This elixir is very beneficial to everyone who wants to look young. This elixir is called Beauty Nourishing Elixir. You can look very young even though you are 60 years old or older than that." Mo Yuemo stated.

"Is the elixir safe? Are there no side effects on our cultivation base?" One of the audiences asked.

"That is a good question." Mo Yuemo nodded. "Then, I would like to call Elder Yuan Yongliang."

Everyone knew that Yuan Yongliang was an elder in charge of appraising elixir. They knew his look. It was an elder man who happened to be 55 years old.

However, it was not him who walked up to the stage. It was a middle-aged man. When the middle-aged man turned around and showed his face, everyone gasped. Turned out, that it was Yuan Yongliang but a younger version of him.

"Hello, everyone. I am Elder Yuan Yongliang. I think some of you already recognized me. Yes, I drank this elixir. It is almost one week already. So, I can say that it has no side effect on my cultivation base. It is the same as the previous one. This elixir indeed restored my younger appearance. According to the pharmacist who created this elixir, this effect would last until 10 years." Elder Yuan Yongliang stated. He then laughed.

"Thank you, Elder Yuan Yongliang. So, everyone, are you convinced?" Mo Yuemo asked.

"Yes." Everyone shouted.

"I need to buy this for my wife."

"Husband, please buy it for me."

Everyone became excited.

"Okay, everyone. We have ten bottles here. However, only five people will get the elixir. The elixir needs to be auctioned in pairs. The starting price is 50,000 taels. So, we will start to auction the first two bottles. It starts now." Mo Yuemo stated.

"51,000 taels."

"52,000 taels."

"55,000 taels."

The price kept increasing until 65,000 taels. Bai Xifeng who watched this was smiling. She knew that this Beauty Nourishing Elixir would be famous. Her money would be increased.

"Xixi, is this your thing?" Bai Xiang asked.

"Yes. Do you want it? I can make it for you." Bai Xifeng offered.

If her father wanted it, she would make it for him.
