tain!" After last night's events, Long Yuan was already convinced by her, and he wouldn't make things difficult for them again."Alright, saving people is the priority! We can discuss other things lat...Only seeing the Moonless Master gently raise his hands, longer and whiter than a woman's, with a light flick, he produced a crisp and moving sound. Although Xiao Yu Ge wasn't very proficient in music, hearing this sound, he knew it was a good qin (Chinese zither). Because its tone was pure and clean, without the noisy sound of an ordinary qin.

Only the graceful movement of Moon Prince’s fingers across the strings could be seen, weaving a beautiful and moving melody from his long fingers. Though one couldn't see what he looked like, the focused look on his face was undeniably charming, as if he had reached a state of perfect harmony with the instrument.

Everyone's mood seemed to rise and fall with his moving music, appearing intoxicated. Xiao Yu Ge secretly frowned, concentrating on listening. Indeed, there was an indescribable allure in the sound of the piano, as if it could captivate the mind. Sometimes it was calm and peaceful, and sometimes it fluctuated like waves.

Ah, I see!

Xiao Yu's song secretly channeled his power, resisting the alluring melody. Night Big Brother once said that there was a kind of martial art in this world that used music to control people's minds. It seems that this Mr. Wuyue is undoubtedly using this!

Although Xiao Yuge didn't understand why Wuyue Gongzi would do such a thing, for safety's sake, she still kept a close eye on things. Watching the people around her become entranced by Wuyue Gongzi and shout crazily, she couldn't help but let out a soft snort. Using such underhanded tactics to achieve the effect of bewildering people wasn't necessarily the way of a truly upright person.

As the music ended, those people seemed to be still immersed in his dreamlike melody, unable to extricate themselves. He slowly looked around, seeing the trance-like and intoxicated expressions on their faces, a hint of pride flashed across his eyes!

When his eyes met Xiao Yuge's, he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. Xiao Yuge lowered her head and nodded, giving him a slight smile!

The sound of the qin faded away for a long time, and the people around gradually recovered their spirits. At this time, the master of ceremonies walked into the center of the stage, cleared his throat, and said: "Today's auction is this Phoenix-Singing Qin in the hands of Master Wuyue. The starting price is 50,000 taels of silver. The highest bidder not only gets this peerless qin, but also can spend a good night with Master Wuyue. This is a rare opportunity, everyone should seize it!"

"Mister Wuyue!"

"Master Wuyue!"

Suddenly, everyone around was like a boiling pot, screaming incessantly. You couldn't tell; these men and women all looked respectable outside, but here they were, transformed into this state. It truly shows that people's nature is much the same.

"Good! Now starting, 50,000 taels!" the official bellowed.

"Eighty thousand taels!" Someone immediately raised the price!

The Phoenix-Mingqin is a masterpiece, but to those who don't understand music, it's just an ordinary instrument. So, one wonders if all these bidders truly appreciate its value.

Xiao Yuge remained motionless, she was curious to see what price this qin would fetch.

"I offer one hundred thousand taels!"

"I bid fifteen taels!"

"I bid twenty million taels!"

As the price soared, it quickly reached 500,000 taels. You have to know, in the eyes of connoisseurs, this qin was priceless. Therefore, Xiao Yuge remained unmoved, silently watching. She inadvertently noticed that Master Wuyue seemed to be looking at her too. She just gave him a slight smile and continued to refrain from bidding.

“I’ll offer one hundred taels!” At this moment, a man dressed in fine silks and satins emerged from the crowd, throwing out a large sum right away. This immediately drew gasps from those around him. After all, those who came to such a place could afford it, but no one was so rich that they would spend millions to buy a broken qin. Therefore, after the man finished speaking, no one dared to raise the price.

That man was beaming with pride, looking at Wuyue Gongzi's eyes as if saying, "Tonight, you belong to me!"

Without Moon Mister once again looked towards Xiao Yuge, his eyes seemed to hold a thousand words, but more like he was anticipating something.

One million at a time!

One million times

"One million..."

"Two million taels!" At this moment, Xiao Yuge finally stood up. As soon as she opened her mouth, there was an uproar around her. Everyone turned to look at her. Seeing that she was just a young boy (Xiao Yuge was now in men's clothing), they couldn't help but scoff: Hmph, just a child!

"A kid who hasn't even grown a full head of hair, you dare to compete with me for someone!" The man who had just lost one million was naturally unwilling to lose to such a young whippersnapper.

Xiao Yu's song only glanced at him, without a word, but signaled the person in charge with her eyes.

Then the one in charge finally came to his senses.

"Two million once!"

"Two million twice!"

"Two million, three times! Deal!"

The master's hand pointed at Xiao Yuge, his face full of smiles: "Tonight, Phoenix-Singing Qin and Wuyue Gongzi belong to this young master! Congratulations, young master!"

Those around were disappointed at not being able to get the qin and the beauty, but they still applauded Xiao Yuge!

"You little brat! Do you know who you're messing with!" The man, who had just lost a million, felt humiliated and furious. He pointed at Xiao Yuge, looking like he was about to attack him.

The master's eyes turned cold as he glanced at him: "Sir, I just made it very clear. The highest bidder gets it. Now this young master has bid the highest, so tonight he becomes a distinguished guest of our Qingfeng Pavilion. Since he is a valued guest, he will be under the protection of our Qingfeng Pavilion. No one dares to cause trouble in Qingfeng Pavilion!"

The man's arrogance instantly diminished when that cold, piercing gaze swept over him. He glared fiercely at Xiao Yuge for a moment, then let out a cold snort before turning to leave.

"Wait a moment, sir!" Xiao Yu Ge spun lightly and appeared on stage in an instant. Her graceful figure, coupled with her stunning beauty, immediately drew gasps of astonishment from the onlookers!

This young master's appearance is simply divine, surpassing even the peerless Wuyue Gongzi!

"With him around, I'm afraid even the renowned Moonless Master would pale in comparison."

The crowd buzzed with conversation, everyone chiming in with their opinions.

And the man who had just won a million, when he saw Xiao Yuge's appearance, couldn't help but be stunned. The anger he felt just now completely dissipated.

"Sir, I only need the Phoenix Cryqin. If Master Yue doesn't want to give it up, then I shall take it!"

"You, you what" The man likely hadn't expected that Xiao Yuge would spend two million taels just to buy a broken qin, and even willingly give the peerless Wu Yue Gongzi over to him. He couldn't quite believe his ears.

"I only want the phoenix to sing, if Master Yue is willing..."

"I don't want to!"

At this time, Wuyue Gongzi stood up and walked in front of Xiao Yuge. His thin body looked very tall, taller than Xiao Yuge by a head. Facing him, Xiao Yuge really seemed like a child.fficials by the Empress Dowager's side. It was the Empress Dowager who, in order to vie for favor, secretly sent my mother, who was only fourteen at the time, to my father's bedchamber. As a result, I...
