The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Tang Rao's bid this time captured the attention of everyone.

Even Lu Jun and A Ji at the side looked befuddled at Tang Rao, what the hell?

Tang Rao, have you lost your mind?

That's just an ordinary bamboo slip, ten million Immortal Stones, are you really buying it?

"My heavens, where did this wealthy tycoon come from!"

"Ten million Immortal Stones for a bamboo slip, I never imagined there would be such a crazy young man in this world."

"Do you think there might be some secret to this bamboo slip?"

"What kind of secret could there be? I've looked it over many times; it's just a few incomprehensible characters, and there's not the slightest hint of immortal power. It couldn't possibly be a key to some secret treasure..."

"Indeed, it's very ordinary."

On the auction stage, Hong Qingsheng dumbfoundedly looked at Tang Rao, it actually... sold, someone actually... bought it.

"Is there anyone else who wishes to bid?" Hong Qingsheng called out after being stunned for a while.

However, no one raised their plaque again.

Ten million for a bamboo slip, this was no longer a game they could afford to play.

You must be joking, if they bought it and brought it back, they might very well be killed by their clan.

...

"Sister, someone bought it!" Xiao Yun called out from the backyard.

"What?" The woman under the peach blossom tree turned around abruptly, a gleam of light bursting from her beautiful eyes.

"Your handwritten bamboo slip has been bought," Xiao Yun said somewhat excitedly. "Sister, you've said before, if someone buys the bamboo slip, they might be connected to you by fate!"

"Um, but it's just a possibility," the woman said, her eyes filled with excitement but her tone remained calm, though obviously, she was barely able to contain herself.

"Sister, let's go take a look. Or invite this person over, and we will know after asking," Xiao Yun immediately said.

"Go tell Hong Qingsheng to have the person invited to the backyard. Remember, be polite, and be respectful," the woman said somewhat sternly.

"I got it, sister!" Xiao Yun nodded and then ran out.

After Xiao Yun left, the woman once again looked towards the peach blossom tree in front of her.

"Year after year the peach blossoms look similar, but the people change with the years. I wonder if you are the one destined for me..." The woman murmured softly, her voice melodious and gentle, like the song of orioles and a flowing stream.

...

"Ten million for the third time, the last item of the auction, ten million Immortal Stones, Mister Number 90 is the winner!" On this side, Hong Qingsheng already brought down the gavel; Tang Rao obtained this exceedingly ordinary bamboo slip for ten million Immortal Stones.

"Sir, would you like to make the transaction now?" Hong Qingsheng asked.

"Yes," Tang Rao nodded, and threw over a Space Ring, inside of which were ten million Immortal Stones.

After counting, Hong Qingsheng nodded, then had the waiter carry the bamboo slip over to Tang Rao.

Tang Rao picked up the bamboo slip, upon which was inscribed a line of words from the Yan nation: If in future years I shall become the Green Emperor.

"Shall bloom with the peach blossoms in one place," Tang Rao murmured to himself, this was the second half of the poem, written by Huang Chen at the end of the Huang Dynasty of the Yan nation.

"Brother Tang, what did you say?" Lu Jun heard Tang Rao's murmur and couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing..." Tang Rao shook his head, knowing they wouldn't understand even if he told them.

These two lines of poetry, even if I showed them to you a hundred times, you would still not understand.

...

"Hong Qingsheng, Hong Qingsheng, come here." At this moment, Xiao Yun had already run up to the auction platform, beckoning with her finger, shouting at Hong Qingsheng.

Hong Qingsheng was taken aback for a moment, Xiao Yun?

Could it be, the president has arrived?

"Miss Xiao Yun, long time no see," Hong Qingsheng approached and said respectfully.

"Let me tell you something, later please invite the guy who got the bamboo slip to the backyard, remember, you must be polite and respectful. Don't mess this up, sister is waiting indeed!" Xiao Yun spoke rapidly.

"Ah? Yes, yes, I understand Miss Xiao Yun," Hong Qingsheng nodded vigorously.

Getting the bamboo slip actually earned an audience with the pavilion's leader; turns out this bamboo slip held such meaning.

Had this been stated earlier, countless would have desired to buy it. After all, in the entire Dark Moon City, there's no counting the number of people interested in the pavilion's leader.

Even the president of the Dark Moon Association seems to harbor a wisp of fantasy towards the pavilion's leader.

But the pavilion's leader almost never meets these people individually, not even the president of the Dark Moon Association.

Unexpectedly, a bamboo slip could be exchanged for an audience with the pavilion's leader.

"Okay, go handle it, I'm going back to accompany sister, hurry up!" Xiao Yun finished speaking and ran off, arriving quickly and departing just as fast.

"Cough cough, Mr. Tang Rao, please wait!" Just as Tang Rao was about to turn around and leave, Hong Qingsheng called out.

Tang Rao paused slightly, his eyes narrowing, indeed...

This bamboo slip really couldn't be more ordinary, yet it sold for ten million Immortal Stones, obviously there was something fishy.

Now, the issue was coming to a head.

"Is there anything else?" Tang Rao turned around with his expression back to normal, a smile on his face.

"May I know if Mr. has some time, please come to the backyard, our pavilion's leader has invited you," said Hong Qingsheng.

As soon as these words fell, the entire Fengyun Pavilion erupted into noise.

"Damn, so this was a pass to be received by the pavilion's leader!"

"My God, why didn't I buy it!"

"Bro, I'll offer twenty million Immortal Stones, let me have it!" someone shouted.

"Twenty million can buzz off, fifty million, sell the bamboo slip to me!"

"Seventy million!"

"One hundred million!"

Once one hundred million Immortal Stones were called out, the scene went silent instantly.

One hundred million, no joke, that's definitely a huge sum. One hundred million Immortal Stones could support the expenses of a medium-sized force for half a year.

Tang Rao felt these people had gone mad too, offering one hundred million Immortal Stones for a slip of bamboo.

But then again, it's foolish not to earn the money when you can.

"So, buddy, did you say one hundred million?" Tang Rao looked towards the fat man who had called out one hundred million.

The fat man looked to weigh around three hundred pounds, round and plump, with features sunk into his chubby face, a folding fan in hand trying to look cool.

"Yes, yes, yes, brother, how about you let me have it for one hundred million Immortal Stones? You don't understand, I've long admired the pavilion's leader; one hundred million Immortal Stones for a meeting, I'm willing. Let me have it and we'll be friends from now on!" The fat man wailed with a pitiful face.

"Here." Tang Rao was straightforward, handing over the bamboo slip.

The fat man was stunned for a moment, then his face blossomed with redness and a smile.

"Brother, here!" The fat man directly handed over a Space Ring to Tang Rao, "My name is Shi Pang, from now on you're my dear brother!"

Tang Rao checked it, exactly one hundred million Immortal Stones, not one stone missing.

"Pavilion leader, I'm coming!" Shi Pang, holding the bamboo slip, dashed toward the backyard.

Hong Qingsheng initially wanted to stop him, but Xiao Yun seemed to have said to invite the person who obtained the bamboo slip to the backyard, now that Shi Pang had it, perhaps he should be the one to go in. Besides, that's Shi Pang; Hong Qingsheng truly didn't dare to stop him.

If he angered that fat bastard, then Hong Qingsheng reckoned he'd have trouble continuing to make a living.

"Earning ninety million just like that," Tang Rao smirked, not in any rush to leave.

"Brother Tang, I'm only convinced by you," Lu Jun gave Tang Rao a thumbs-up, getting ninety million Immortal Stones just like that, simply amazing!
