Debt For Tang Tian

Song Hui Yao was pulled by Tang Rue to go around the streets, looking for potions and goods to buy. Only when it was noon, did they went to the auction house. Raising his head to look at the name.

Gold Auction House...

Walking into the building, he saw that there were just an average amount of people. The clerk led them upstairs to a private room for princesses and princes. The room was really decorative, a bit overly decorated...

"Princess You Yan, this is your room, please." The clerk retreated after escorting them to their room.

Tang Rue turned her head and smiled timidly at him; she specifically chose this room and wondered if he liked it. She even asked the clerk to give the room more details and improvements.

The smile was beautiful, but it sent him chills involuntarily. Song Hui Yao restrained his mouth from twitching and cracked a smile before his gaze moved to the balcony. He walked to the balcony and stood behind the light clothe screen. Song Hui Yao glanced down, finding that the room was in the very most front, close to the stage.

Song Hui Yao inhaled and strode to a coach encased in red plush. When he sat down, Tang Rue followed and sat down next to him...more like too close next to him that they touched. He stiffened slightly and became stilled.

As if she noticed that she had come in contact with Song Hui Yao, Tang Rue blushed and swiftly moved away. "Uh...um...I..."

"It's okay," he said. His smile was about to drop but he held on; he wasn't fond of being in contact with leeches. Waiting for the first auction to start took a very, very long time. Finally, it started.

The host walked out to the center of the stage and grinned broadly at everyone. "Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to today's auction at the Gold Auction House."

"The first item is..." As the host talked about the item's advantages and usefulness, a clerk brought out a tray out and stood on the stage. People who sat below started calling out while the people in the private rooms stayed silent.

All of a sudden, he detected that he was in someone's line of sight; not Tang Rue's though. Rotated his head to look through the light clothe screen, his eyes met a certain someone who was sitting on a couch.

Zhu Xiao Wan...!?

The person sitting on the couch was Zhu Xiao Wan, behind her was the Ning siblings and Zhuang Yang. Zhuang Yang was holding himself back from laughing as he had been watching the struggled Song Hui Yao acting all gentle and fine. Ning Rou Li and Ning Hai Heng didn't dare to look at the respected and revered Prince Shen lest they would be disrespectful.

Sitting on the velvet couch, Zhu Xiao Wan observed everyone's expressions and the corners of her lips curved upward in amusement, unknowingly even to herself. Then her gaze then went to the stage.

"Our ninth item is..." The host continued to lure people into buying the item with his mouth that could rob people's pocket. Obviously, the item was only a low-rank elixir; however...

"The item's price will start at 3,000 silver coins, the minimum call is 1,000 silver coins...and start!"

"5,000!"

"8,500!"

A robust man sitting below stood up, "15,000!!"

"20,000..." A low voice found its way to the host.

Seeing that there was no more voice, the host said, "Going once."

"Going twice..."

"Going thri-"

A voice of a girl ran out from one of the private room, "55,000 silver coins!"

"Well! Anyone else?" The host was ecstasy that such a low-rank elixir was going to be sold at such a high price. "Going once, going twice, going thrice!"

"Sold!"

The girl in the private room that called out was Tang Rue. She was beaming so brightly that Song Hui Yao had to turn away. However, "Ah!"

Tang Rue suddenly stood still and then slowly turned around with her head down. She said quietly, "...I forgot to bring money with me..."

At this moment, Zhuang Yang could no longer hold in and burst out guffawing; anyone who was a Green Spirit had good ears. With Song Hui Yao's cultivation stage, he could hear Zhuang Yang's roars of laughter and his forehead slightly twitched. 'This plaster saint of a leech!'

Song Hui Yao calmed himself with one sentence: Emperor of Qianyu Kingdom, you must pay back all the money your daughter loaned from me!
