Chapter 86 – Bumping into a nail
Alighting from the carriage, Huang Yue Li attention was immediately attracted by the sight in front of her.
Thousand Treasure Pavilion's doors were decorated anew. The entrance and roads bustling with people coming and going.
“Wow, what is this situation? Today, how many people have come to Thousand Treasure Pavilion?”
A passerby saw the scene and exclaimed out in surprise.
“You don't even know? Today is the annual auction of Thousand Treasure Pavilion!”
"Auction? Do you think I have not seen an auction of Thousand Treasure Pavilion's before? How many people have attended in the previous years? Generally, only the aristocrats in the capital will attend. At most, a few people living in the Royal Palace would also attend. Do you seen that horse carriage? It has the symbol of the Royal Family of the South Chu ah! Do you know South Chu? In the surrounding countries, they are the most powerful country!"
“How do I not know? Let me tell you, the people participating are not only South Chu's Royal Family. And those are royals from South Maple, South Ming……..”
“How is that possible? Is it that big of a deal?”
“I heard that this auction has Third Levelled Profound Armaments for sale."
"Third Levelled Armaments? ! No wonder so many royal families have been alerted. If Third Levelled Armaments are to appear, wouldn't only those royals be able to afford it?”
“Not just one Third Levelled Armament. I heard that this time's auction will be selling a large amount of Third Levelled Armaments! Seven days ago, Thousand Treasure Pavilion publicity displayed a portion. It caused a sensation, attracting so many people…..”
“A large number of Third Levelled Armaments? How can that be possible? Just a single one is able to drive those Royals into a bidding frenzy. And a large number? Where did Thousand Treasure Pavilion obtain them from?”
“Hey, this is where you're ignorant! I heard that a large sect's Armament Master passed by our South Yue and sent his disciple to Thousand Treasure Pavilion to sell his works. Even the Armament Guild's Vice President Yan admires this mysterious master!"
“No wonder! Even Grandmaster Yan admires this Armament Master, he should have good skills! This mysterious sect's master definitely is someone of virtue and prestige! It's no wonder that today is very lively. It makes even me want to attend and watch."
“Just by you? I’m afraid you can't afford the tickets for this auction.”
Listening to the conversation of the passers-by, Huang Yue Li's mouth held a trace of a smile. Soon after, her eyes moved to another section of the street.
Parked around were many high-end carriages. Each and every one was very luxurious, while some carriages were engraved with the emblems of the neighbouring Royal Families.
It seemed that the man did not lie to her. Many big buyers had come.
She walked straight to the front door, but was suddenly stopped by the guard.
“This Young Miss, do you have an invitation?”
“Invitation card?”
Seeing she was at a loss, the guard revealed some impatience.
"Young Miss, if you are just an ordinary guest, please go to the right door, line up and pay the admission fee! By the way you will need to pay thirty-two silvers for one ticket for this auction. Please prepare in advance."
Huang Yue Li suddenly fell silent.
High-levelled auctions will divide into seats into VIP and ordinary seats. But there were also discretion tickets. These were the auction rules used throughout Tian Ling Continent.
However, as the continent's best Armament Master, this was the first she was blocked outside.
That stinking man probably predicted this outcome. He deliberately did not send her an invitation, waiting for her to bump into nail and come asking him for help!

Chapter 87 – His Highness the Crown Prince
Thinking briefly, Huang Yue Li was interrupted just as she about to speak.
A familiar girl's voice came from behind her.
“Third Younger Sister, it really is you! Looking at your back, I felt it was a little familiar. I thought that I saw incorrectly!"
Turning around, Huang Yue Li saw Bai Ruo Qi standing not too far away.
She frowned faintly.
Today she was ready to watch the bustling and the experience the feeling of money rolling in, her mood really good. What she didn't expect to encounter was an annoying person, ruining her mood.
Just seven days ago, Bai Ruo Qi's white face was swollen like a pig's. But now, all that swelling had disappeared. She returned to her bright and clean looking face.
It looked like a Second Tier Alchemist had cured her face. Otherwise, there was no possibility for it to heal that quickly!
Furthermore, Bai Ruo Qi was dressed very laviously today. She wore an exquisite golden embroidered skirt. Not only her makeup further enhanced her beauty, she was also sporting a variety of precious pearls and gems.
Though her dress style was extravagant, it did not seem gaudy. It was just enough to bring out her beauty. Paired with that smile that wasn't quite a smile and her calm and tranquil tone, it really made her seem like an outstanding noble lady!
Huang Yue Li measured her up and smiled: "I was wondering who it was. So it was Second Sister! Why have you come out? I heard that you suffered a very serious injury and have been recuperating in the Manor lately. All this time, not daring to meet with others!"
Bai Ruo Qi responded with surprise: "Third Sister, where did you hear those rumors from? I just caught a slight cold, nothing much. A few days of rest at home is enough. How did such tragic rumors come about?"
Her tone was a bit helpless, her brows also wrinkled.
If you were to just see her expression, you would think that Huang Yue Li was a very stupid younger sister. Not listening to her elder sister's teachings, causing her much embarrassment in public!
This woman………was worthy of being the goddess to many young males in South Yue. The complete opposite to that simpled-minded Bai Ruo Yan. She really knew how to act in public.
Huang Yue Li pricked up her eyebrows, “So they were merely rumors ah……..then I congratulate Second Sister in restoring her health! However, you should be careful when leaving the Manor in the future. My back courtyard is very dilapidated and very windy. Second Sister should visit less, what if you catch another 'cold'!"
“You!” Bai Ruo Qi displayed a hurt expression.
Act, continue to act!
Huang Yue Li was displeased by her disgusting heart.
But her mind still reminded her of the big auction about to be held. She did not have the time to trade empty words her. She could find later opportunities to retaliate.
So with a few mocking words, she was ready to leave!
However, just as Huang Yue Li turned to leave, she was stopped.
A clear male voice was heard: “Third Young Miss Bai is so arrogant and domineering. You do not even give your cousin the proper etiquette! Seeing is truly a hundred times better than not seeing! This one has really experienced it today!"
Taking a step, Huang Yue Li raised her head in surprise.
Standing beside Bai Ruo Qi was a graceful man. His five visceras were extremely handsome and had an outstanding temperament. His robe was bright yellow, further enhancing and excluding his noble and virtuous aura.
He indifferently chuckled, especially when he saw Huang Yue Li in the distance. That laugh also held a trace of contempt.
This man…….looked a little familiar ah…….
Suddenly bursts of exclamations sounded.
“The Crown Prince! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Today’s auction even attracted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as well!"
"Are the Profound Armaments auctioned today that powerful? Even the Crown Prince came!”

Chapter 88 – A match made in heaven
“What did you say? That’s His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince? The most honorable and powerful son of our South Yue nation?”
An flowery dressed aristocratic girl's face was flushed. With a fascinated look, “I did not expect his Royal Highness to be not only talented, but also so handsome. He is just like one of the gods in heaven……..if you could marry his Royal Highness; even becoming a concubine would be fortunate!"
Her companion quickly pulled her to the side.
“Oh, hurry and stop! The Crown Prince is a man equal to the dragon and phoenix. How can someone like you match?"
The aristocratic girl stared with dissatisfied at her companion: “What is the matter? Do you not think like this too? I heard that the Crown Prince will be choosing his Imperial Concubine soon. I am still a general's daughter, maybe I will have an opportunity? Even if I don't become the Imperial Concubine, becoming an ordinary concubine is still likely!"
Her companion replied in a hushed voice: “Do not say anymore! Do you not see the person beside the Crown Prince?"
That girl had not put the girl beside the Crown Prince in her eyes. But hearing their reminder, she swept a glance over. She nearly screamed out in fear.
“Uh……it's actually……Wu Wei Manor's Second Miss?”
“Is it not? I say that she is already the Imperial Concubine by default! See how close they are. The rumors may be true?"
“It was her……..”
The key thing was that she possessed a four grade cultivation talent! She is the South Yue's most talented female! With the Crown Prince……they are a match made in heaven ah…..
“And today, Second Miss Bai is participating in the auction with the Crown Prince. She mostly likely is his Imperial Concubine?”
Listening to the surrounding passers-by discussions, the noble girl embarrassedly lowered her head.
His Royal Highness had long become accustomed to the pursuit of others. His facial expression, his fanning motions only served to further his romantic and suave heroic air. Prompting frequent peeks from surroundings girls.
While Bai Ruo Qi who was standing near the Crown Prince inched closer to him.
Hearing the envy and jealousy of the nearby girls, she couldn't help but become proud.
Sure enough, only a beautiful and talented girl like herself, could be worthy of the Crown Prince. If others wanted to fight with her, take a look mirror ask themselves if they're worthy!
The Crown Prince had agreed to come to the auction today with her. She did waste her various preparations towards the Crown Prince.
That little slut Bai Ruo Li, did she not arrogantly say that the person marrying the Crown Prince was not certain?
She really wanted to eat swan meat!
Aren't she and the Crown Prince together? Does she have anymore to say? That little slut mostly likely wants to drill a hole in the ground and hide there.
Bai Ruo Qi's proud gaze swept over Huang Yue Li's expressionless one.
“His Royal Highness, please do not blame my Third Sister. She grew up with no father and mother, and with no cultivational talent. So her temper is a bit weird. It is but human nature, I do not mind."
Prince looked into her eyes, his expression softening.
“Qi'er, you have too good of a character, too generous! This kind of woman who does not know proper courtesy, I am afraid also uses her Region Princess title wildly at home, angering you many times? It is hard on you to speak on her behalf!"
As he said this, he turned to look at Huang Yue Li, “Look at how much face Qi'er is giving you. Apologise to Qi'er and properly reflect once you return home! Think over your actions, how ashamed your father will be!"
