Encounter with the Black MoonMaster

"It's not the first time I go to an auction, but here it's ten times bigger…" - Jasmine attended auctions in a past life, but they were common there compared to this place.

— 100,000 gold coins!

- 100,000 gold coins for a petal of poisonous ginseng! The man on the stage was shouting for attention, but even so, the petal had already reached the maximum price and no one else bid. "Since no one wants to raise the price, then…"

Jasmine noticed that the one who bought this petal was Chen Bojing, with whom he arrived in this city after 5 years of training. Chen Bojing was a wealthy merchant and friend and partner of Xia Hongyi. No wonder he was here for the wedding celebration and the auction.

Seats where rich people sat, like Jasmine, could hide the person sitting in them. Therefore, he and Li Rong could engage in lascivious activities without being noticed by others.

But Chen Bojing did not hide and showed himself in all his glory, like some other merchants, letting people know that they can do business with them and they are rich. In general, they made a reputation for themselves.

Jasmine looked from Chen Bojing to the woman sitting next to him. Yu Yingtei! But, when Jasmine looked at this beautiful married woman and who was in her hands, he turned slightly pale, and sweat dripped down his face.

Yu Yingtei looked exactly the same, even seemed to be a little younger, but her temperament and aura betrayed a graceful woman in her. But besides her, she had a small child in her arms, looking at everything with eyes full of curiosity. He was about three to four months old, and his appearance strongly resembled Yu Yingtei.

Jasmine sighed and suppressed the ripples in her heart. He and Yu Yingtei were now strangers and had nothing to do with each other. Whether the child was his or Chen Bojing's, Jasmine stopped thinking about it. He was not someone who had never had children, so if this child is his, then Jasmine would rather leave the child in Yu Yingtei's hands, because with him he would only be in danger.

Thinking for a moment, Jasmine looked at Li Rong, who blushed at his gaze and looked away.

"... let her decide for herself" - Jasmine did not want to control Li Rong's life and point to anything. He severed ties with her and now she was in charge of her own life.

While he was thinking, the door to his private room opened and an old man in an all-purple qipao walked in at a slow pace.

"I'm sorry, sir, but this is Young Master Jasmine's private room. Ask the staff, they will take you where you need to go. Li Rong noticed the old man entering, and without even feeling Profound Power from him, she spoke politely and not arrogantly.

The old man looked at the girl and nodded a couple of times.

"You are well acquainted with the rules of the Black Moon Commerce Guild. Never be rude to visitors, whoever it is. - the old man nodded with satisfaction and turned his gaze to the sofa where Jasmine was sitting. The boy himself didn't even turn around to look at him, and he radiated dominance and arrogance.

"Sir, this is…

" "No more words needed, I am the Commerce Guild Master. Leave us alone. said the old man in purple softly, walking around the sofa and bowing slightly to Jasmine. "Greetings, little friend. Can I sit down?

Li Rong was surprised by the old man's statement. But for sure, if he entered the upper floors so freely, and there was no follower behind him, then this old man was someone of high position that even the elder Shi Huojin did not dare to stop him, Li Rong thought.

But even so, she couldn't leave Jasmine and act like she betrayed him.

"Young master…

" "You can go, Li Rong. Jasmine showed her a small smile and nodded. Li Rong blushed and left the room, closing the door. Once they were alone, Jasmine's face became completely expressionless and emotionless. With his red eyes, he looked at the old man, who raised an eyebrow in surprise, but saw no other reaction.

"He is strong. System, what level is this person?"

System: Level 7 Ultimate Profound Power!

"..." - Jasmine was amazed, but did not show it. Now he was looking at the old man with interest, but he was ready to run at any moment!

- Sit down, senior. - Jasmine invited her hand to sit on a chair on the side diagonally.

The old man smiled and sat down in the offered seat. With a wave of his hand, he pulls out a table, two mugs of tea, and other accessories. His movements were graceful and graceful. It was evident that he had been studying the art of tea for a long time.

"Young master, call this old man, Zi Ji.

Jasmine was startled and his hand trembled. He couldn't hide his surprise. Sitting in front of him was the real Master of the Black Moon Commerce Guild. From the story "Against the Gods," he remembered him as a prudent intriguer.

Now Jasmine was not surprised that a person like Zi Ji, who has a huge spy network, could find him. After thinking for a bit, he told himself to hold back in a relationship. He did not want to leave leverage for them. And although Jasmine did not think that girls and women would excite him for one night, he did not want them to have such a fate.

"Then Senior Zi Ji, call this prince Jasmine." he introduced himself, showing no sign of slavery or arrogance.

"Ho-ho, prince? After pouring tea into both mugs, Zi Ji passed one to Jasmine. All his actions were so smooth and professional, as if he had done it hundreds, if not thousands of times.

Jasmine did not answer Zi Ji's question and drank tea, not forgetting to ask the system if he was poisoned or not.

- Good tea.

Zi Ji was no longer haunted by the question of the prince.

"Prince Jasmine, I will be brief, forgive my rudeness. Seeing Jasmine nod, Zi Ji continued. "You see, I have a wealth of information throughout the Profound Sky Continent… and I only heard about you for the first time today…"

"Senior Zi Ji wants to know where I am from and who I am with such power?" Jasmine was not worried and continued to enjoy the tea and no longer looked at the old man. He looked back at the auction.

Yes, it is, but don't overthink it. It's just strange that such a genius, once unknown to anyone, appeared in the Blue Wind Empire. Zi Ji spoke softly without showing aggression and watched Jasmine's reaction. He easily believed that this boy is a prince, since he behaves as befits such people and this is not just a show. Arrogance itself soaked into Jasmine's bones.

"Senior Zi Ji, do you know the concept: A frog at the bottom of a well that has not seen the world?" - Jasmine abruptly switched to communication on an equal footing. If the speaker was someone else, then Master Zi Ji would consider it rude, but from Jasmine such words were natural, which Zi Ji could not help but be surprised.

"Young master, please don't mess with this old man. Zi Ji laughed as he took a sip of tea. He already knew where this boy was leading.

Just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist or it's impossible. Jasmine stopped watching the auction and looked straight into Zi Ji's eyes. His red eyes expressed a power and pressure that Zi Ji had not felt for many years. Even while communicating with the Supreme Beings of this world, he did not feel such pressure. But it was only for a moment, causing Zi Ji to doubt whether he had correctly assessed this young man or not.

"I understand you, Young Master Jasmine. Then I will leave you. Zi Ji got up and left the room. He was surprised by the young man, but not that much. Zi Ji had seen many geniuses from the Divine Phoenix Empire, so Jasmine was nothing special. Zi Ji was only interested in why Blue Wind Empire, the weakest nation of the seven, had such a personality and why his spies couldn't recognize his background.

Zi Ji checked Jasmine and it turned out to be a common practitioner with some strange aura from the body, but nothing special. After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Zi Ji had already forgotten about this child…
