Yaoxian stepped forward, raised his hand and grabbed Si Qin's wrist, and examined him carefully.
After a while, he put down Si Qin's hand and frowned slightly.
"Immortal Si Qin was deeply poisoned and his meridians were in disorder. I'm afraid it will take some time to recover before he can recover as before." Yaoxian frowned and sighed, shaking his head.
"Yao Xian, how long will it take for me to recover? My Highness is now alone in the human world. I don't trust him..." Si Qin asked quickly.
Yaoxian stroked his beard and said, "I can't say this."
After hearing these words, Si Qin's heart suddenly sank. After a moment of silence, he said, "Yao Xian, I don't need to be completely cured. As long as you detoxify the poison in my body, I will leave."
"It's your own business when you want to leave. I never force anyone. However, you are from the Moon Goddess. If I can't heal you, I can't bear the blame from the Moon Goddess." Yaoxian Said quietly.
"But..." Si Qin wanted to say something else, but Xiao Lingyu interrupted him first, "Si Qin Immortal Officer, you better not worry about the safety of the people under the Moon Goddess. Only when your injuries are healed can you It’s better to follow His Highness, isn’t it?”
After listening to Xiao Lingyu's words, Si Qin hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said no more.
…
Mortal world, Tianyan Continent.
Half a month later.
The annual auction of Yinyue Pavilion is about to begin.
What is different from the past is that in this auction of Yinyue Pavilion, there are more than twenty items put up for bidding. These items are not only extremely valuable, but each one is a peerless treasure.
In addition, there are three final items, namely a ten thousand-year-old blood coral, a flame stone containing extremely powerful spiritual power, and a pill that can enable people to break through the barriers of cultivation.
The auction was not held in Yunhai Town this time, but in an ancient manor thirty miles away from the capital of the Nebula Empire.
The name of the manor is "Biluo". It is surrounded by lakes on three sides and has a quiet scenery.
Seeing that there is only one day left before the auction officially starts, all the major sects and forces have already gathered in the capital of the Nebula Empire.
In the evening, Nangong Yueze and Nangong Yichen appeared on the streets of the imperial capital. One of them was wearing a gold and red brocade robe with dragon patterns, and the other was wearing a black brocade robe.
"Ninth brother, I'm really curious, where did Yin Yue Pavilion get so many rare treasures? Just one auction attracted all the forces in Tianyan Continent." Nangong Yichen said with emotion as he walked, " I saw along the way that almost all the inns and inns had no available guest rooms..."
"Haha..." Nangong Yueze pursed his lips, "If third brother is interested, let's go to Biluo Manor together tomorrow?"
"I heard that those who want to enter the auction venue need to have an invitation letter from Yin Yue Pavilion, and the price of the invitation letter has already been sold for one hundred thousand silver leaves." Nangong Yichen continued.
"It's just an invitation letter. Third brother, I'll have a few sent to your palace soon." Nangong Yueze said lightly: "Also, you can bring your two nephews with you tomorrow. , Speaking of which, I haven’t seen them for a long time.”
"How did you get so many invitations worth one hundred thousand silver leaves?" Nangong Yichen looked at Nangong Yueze in surprise.
Nangong Yueze just smiled and didn't explain much.
After walking for a while, the two came to a teahouse called "Shangsheng Tea House".
"Ninth brother, I come to this teahouse often. The tea inside is very good. I wonder if you are interested in going in for a cup of tea tonight?" Nangong Yichen's questioning eyes fell on Nangong Yueze's face.
Nangong Yueze nodded, "Since it is a place recommended by Third Brother, it must be good."
The two brothers smiled at each other and walked into the teahouse one after another.
The teahouse has five floors, and each floor is full of people drinking tea and chatting.
As soon as they entered the lobby, they heard a beautiful sound of the piano. The sound was melodious and melodious. It seemed to be so refreshing that people couldn't help but get intoxicated...
As soon as he saw Nangong Yichen, the shopkeeper in the lobby hurriedly greeted him, "Oh, isn't this His Highness the Third Highness? Why are you free to come to the store today? Come on, hurry up and invite him inside."
"Prepare a quiet elegant room for us, and then serve two pots of good tea and some snacks." Nangong Yichen ordered quietly.
"Yes, Your Highness, please let me get ready for you." The shopkeeper bowed respectfully, and then led the two of them to a private room on the east side of the third floor.
Soon, several waiters came up with tea and cakes.
Nangong Yichen poured tea for Nangong Yueze and said, "Ninth brother, you are also the king of our Nebula Empire now. You don't even take a follower with you when you go out. What if you are in danger?"
"Haha, third brother, are you worried about me?" Nangong Yueze raised the corners of his lips and asked with a slight smile.
"That's not true. You told me a few days ago that you are already a ninth-level spiritual master. To be honest, you really scared the third brother." Nangong Yichen smiled bitterly, "Ninth-level spiritual master, that is The highest realm of mortal cultivation, Ninth Brother, you are only eighteen years old, and you have broken through to this realm, which makes me, the elder brother, feel so embarrassed."
"Well..." Nangong Yueze laughed dryly, "It's a long story. If Si Qin hadn't been seriously injured at the time, I wouldn't have forced myself to break through the cultivation level so quickly."
"By the way, speaking of your personal bodyguard Si Qin, what happened to him?" Nangong Yichen asked.
Mentioning Si Qin, Nangong Yueze's face flashed with solemnity, "He was seriously injured by the Blood Demon tribe in Yuyue Kingdom and almost died. I have arranged for someone to take him for treatment. In a short time, he should not be able to came back."
"So that's it." Nangong Yichen was stunned.
"Yes." Nangong Yueze responded lightly, then picked up the cup in front of him and drank tea.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the elegant room opposite.
"No matter how much it costs tomorrow, we must get the elixir that allows people to break through the cultivation barrier." A man's gloomy voice sounded.
"But, Young Sect Master, the base price of that elixir is three million gold leaves. Where can we get so much money?" said a middle-aged man next to the man.
"It doesn't matter whether there are gold leaves or not. What's important is that there will definitely be a lot of people gathering at Biluo Manor tomorrow. When there are a lot of people, there must be something wrong. Even if it's a hard fight tomorrow, we have to get the elixir!" The man said in a sinister tone. said.
"But, Young Sect Master, that is Yin Yue Pavilion after all!"
"There is nothing wrong with this matter!" The man slammed the table hard, "So what about Yin Yue Pavilion, I am also the young master of Tianxuan Sect, why are you still afraid of a sect that has only been established recently?!"
The few people around didn't dare to refute, so they could only nod in agreement.
The man glanced around the crowd again, with a look of greed in his eyes, "Before leaving, my father and grandfather said personally that if I can bring the elixir back, they will make me the next heir to the clan. , Therefore, this elixir must be obtained!"
Hearing the conversation between the group of people, Nangong Yueze just chuckled, then withdrew his gaze and continued to taste the pastries in front of him.
"Ninth brother?" Sensing Nangong Yueze's smile, Nangong Yichen raised his eyes and looked at him with doubts in his eyes, "What were you laughing at just now?"
"I was laughing at those people just now. They were just a second-rate old sect, but they really took themselves seriously." Nangong Yueze sneered coldly and said sarcastically, "They dare to snatch things from Yin Yue Pavilion. Don’t look at how much you weigh.”
"..." When Nangong Yichen heard this, he just smiled lightly and said nothing more. After all, it was not something that he, the prince of the deep palace, could understand about the affairs of these sects in the world.
…
The next day, the morning light began to rise.
After handling all the political affairs, Nangong Yueze changed into ordinary clothes, and then left the imperial city with Su Ho and headed towards Biluo Manor...
Outside Biluo Manor, there was already an endless stream of people coming to participate in the auction.
Looking from a distance, the entire manor is surrounded by a faint barrier. Those barriers are not complicated, but their power is extraordinary. Not only that, there are also many formations and mechanisms set up in the manor. If someone forces it If you snatch the auction items, you will trigger those traps and lose your life.
Not long after, Nangong Yueze arrived outside Biluo Manor. Because he was wearing ordinary clothes, his arrival did not attract anyone's attention.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, Nangong Yueze saw Nangong Yichen, who had arrived earlier. Beside him were his two sons, 20-year-old Nangong Lingfei and 18-year-old Nangong Lingyun.
Seeing Nangong Yueze, the three of them were about to salute, but Nangong Yueze waved his hand to indicate that they would not be polite, "Third brother, there is no need to be too polite. Ling Fei and Ling Yun, we haven't had a face-to-face chat for a long time, so today is a good time to use it." Let’s reminisce about the past at this auction.”
Nangong Lingfei smiled slightly, then raised his eyes to look at his uncle, who was two years younger than him, and said respectfully: "I remember that the last time I had a conversation with His Majesty was at His Majesty's fifteenth birthday party."
"Haha, you remember it very clearly. Speaking of which, you don't have to call me His Majesty one after another. You didn't always call me uncle before, but now I feel unfamiliar." Nangong Yueze said with a smile.
"I'm not unfamiliar. It's just that my uncle is now the king of my Nebula Empire. I can't lose my etiquette." Nangong Lingfei touched his nose awkwardly and explained.
"Okay, okay, it's up to you." Nangong Yueze shook his head lightly and immediately changed the subject, "I have someone reserve a seat in the garden, let's go in now."
After speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the main entrance of the manor.
The three of them responded and quickly followed his footsteps.
Arriving at the gate of the manor, Nangong Lingfei and Nangong Lingyun soon discovered that the people in Yin Yue Pavilion, both male and female, were all dressed in crescent white clothes, with a dark red peony embroidered on the chest. Not only that, everyone Their faces were covered with half silver masks, with only a pair of eyes exposed, making it impossible to identify their appearance.
"The identities of these people are too mysterious." Nangong Lingyun said curiously as he walked.
"Yes." Nangong Yichen nodded, "I heard about it before I came here. Hidden Moon Pavilion has always been known for its mystery. Unless they are willing to let you know their names, outsiders will never know about Hidden Moon Pavilion. His true face."
"That's it." Nangong Lingyun suddenly realized.
Just when several people were about to show their invitations to the Yin Yue Pavilion disciples who were guarding the door one by one, suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from behind them.
"Come quickly!! Don't block the road!!!" Accompanied by an arrogant and domineering voice, several horses were galloping towards the main entrance of the manor.
